1+ million players and you haven't figured out that updating on the weekend is a BAD FUCKING PLAN?!? For as smart as you are, you surely are retarded. Get a clue man, you'll be your own undoing.

please please please please don't patch on Friday nights. Most players spend their Fridays working hard, hard for the man.... At jobs they probably don't very much like (i know i do!), All I want are the simple things in life, and that now includes a few hours at the end of a long week to play Dayz. I think its a simple request. I've noticed over the last month we've had several patches roll out around 7 or 8pm (EST;Toronto, Canada Time). There are many players in this time zone, and I'm sure they share in my frustration of the dreaded "Friday Night Patch". Hell I've spent most of this week wondering if I will be able to play tonight or if we'll be doing updates. I understand you are in the C.R. and that you are patching at a different time than our prime time. But my suggestion is maybe like doing it on a Tuesday morning, your time, no problem, I'm pretty sure that wont affect as many players as it does currently. Thanks

AMEN!

how about we fix the game so you don't need to reload the axe or worry about axe-ammo if you carry two (one in belt, one in hand) and log out and then have all your ammo for axe in hand vanish and cannot swing it.... BEFORE we go on adding more stuff? :D :D :D :D :D I would like to see IED's tho, that would be smart. Pop-can Landmine, you've already got most of the stuff needed in your bag, shotgun shells, and pop-cans, just need a detonator, and maybe more shrapnel.... priming cap from the shotgun round + a battery from a flashlight should set it off. Don't know for sure, mostly i am making this shit up from various TV I've seen.

This game isn't warcraft, or rift, or any of them big mmo's with dedicated servers and there aren't admins around to tip the wee out of your shoe every time you have an accident. Man up. This is a serious game (in alpha, but still serious). You're fucked. You're suck in the woods, fucked. It sucks you joined a server where some admin was most likely abusing his powers of adminishment (like being an admin, a dick and punishment all at the same time). If hes paying for the server and you are not, then he is in full rights to do whatever the fuck he wants, its his server, his money. You are not paying a monthly fee for this game, and until you do, these problems will ALWAYS exist. As for your issues with being suck with a broken leg in the middle of no-where, you can die of thirst or starve, or craw till you find life, and hopefully it kills you. Them's are the break kid.

YAY!

it will run like poo ... :( go get a 2.8+ quad core processor and 1gb 128bit video card. Your view distance and gfx performance will be poor. And even more so when the 'action' starts.

I like to think I have a pretty good idea, its just very slow and cumbersome. ;) It is very difficult to use in a pinch/rush. Also I am finding some quirky bugs with it: A few times my mouse cursor has totally vanished when opening the inventory screen to bandage myself. its gone and i need to close/open the inventory several times to make it show up again. I have also had issues picking up things like a hatchet while I have a gun equipped. Also don't understand where the crowbar goes when I pick it up and already have a hatchet equipped. It's not even in my bag, and i don't see it on the ground anymore...? And don't even get me started on trying to pick up a new backpack, got it figured out in the end, but holy cow... they need to offer a class on using this system. I understand that its an alpha, i see its a W.I.P. But fair warning to other new players, as this is the new player discussion thread, it will get you killed. Even when you think you have it figured out, its a harsh mistress. Every time i make it anywhere in this game I die from inventory management. -I need to bandage... my cursor vanishes and i cannot operate the menu, bleed out. -I was out of ammo in my gun, i wanted to pick up a hatchet to fight off some zombs. this could not be accomplished quickly or easily. It should be more intuitive. Your out of ammo, you see an axe on the ground, wtf would you do. Just look at it while you wait for your death to come? Hell no, you would pick that up and start swinging. It shouldn't have to ask you about dropping/changing/switching out useless empty equipment. (and really there is no need to take an ammo magazine from your belt and insert it into the hickory handle of the hatchet before you use it. That is really unnecessary.) Also, why do I die of thirst laying down in water? That was aggravating. For a 'common item that's everywhere' canteens sure have been hard to find. anyway I know I may be crying a little here over nothing, but I have found this system to be difficult and not very streamlined. I really hope that they are able to patch it up into a more polished system in future releases. So far a very solid game. 24$ well spent (arma2+combined arms for you sticklers out there... yes dayz is still free) Off to try again.

the inventory will kill you. if not in game, than from frustartion.
