Disgraced

Facepalm Criticizing a feature that hasn't been implemented yet. Go sit in a corner and think about what you've done. Do you really tnk all food will need to be cooked? Do you really think that from now until the game is uh... Playable-ier they won't make adjustments. For gods sake. I gotta stop reading these suggestions posts.

They really need to close down suggestions. With the game in alpha there is literally no need for it. Especially with stupidity like this.

I think because ... It's a game.

Been under a rock? Look around the forums...

Tweaks. The rain works. They can adjust it later.

OK, that's not working.... So back a couple years ago, I had a windows XP machine. On that machine, I created two accounts. I created two steam accounts (well, a second one). I bought two copies of Arma II and set up two copies of Dayz Mod. I could then log into one windows+steam account and play as one character, and log into my other windows+steam account and play as another character. This was great as I played with some other people and I could have one character for group play and one for solo when no one was around. I recently tried to resurrect this model on my Windows 8 machine and it's not working. I have two separate sets of serial keys active on the two separate Steam accounts, and log into two separate Windows accounts. They are on the same computer. In each case, I am getting the same character. Has anyone successfully done this?

Thanks. What a pain. Much easier on XP. Easy enough to make a couple .reg files I suppose.

I don't believe they completely rewrote it. Too many similarities between early bugs and issues in the mod and sa. I think they stripped some things down and tried to optimize but I bet it's just more of a fork in the engine to avoid Arma constraining Dayz.

What no highlights?? Rageriots..

Well it is exactly like 2 years ago. Except this should go further with fewer dead ends for the dev team. Presumably. I can understand some frustration but it sounds like complaining because the tried again hoping for better success and were honest about it.

You have some valid points and some that don't matter right now. I believe the problem is that the arma engine just doesn't make a strong back end for what's being done. Netcode is atrocious. I can't do better though, so I play. Still playing the mod, too. Somehow, despite your feelings, a lot of us are having fun.

There is no such thing as realism. It's a fallacious argument. Of course it's not realistic. One either likes a feature or dislikes it. One either likes what the game mechanics call for or doesn't. I'm fine with it.

There used to be a way to do this custom in the mod. I like the idea since they're going for so much customization in sa.

Hit escape and abort. Reconnect. There is no magic reset guy waiting for these messages. Sorry.

You have to agree to the rules to connect to the hive.

I mean, you guys know they have these in the mod, right. I'd say very likely to appear at some point but it's not priority yet.

I like the idea of skills, but maybe not instantly from reading one book... I certainly like the idea of making other players valuable in some way in order to spur interaction. It's a good idea. There would be a million ways to subvert such a system, but it would be nice to have something like this to spur things on. You'd have to ask people if they could do things... Even "lock" certain controls until the requisite skill was learned or just for the person with the requisite skill...

The zodiac type boat was a 'PBX' and they were not slow. You could very quickly get them up to 70. The other white boat. The fishing boat or whatever? Just ugh. You're right. The max speed seemed like about 4. They were always found out in the water ( great in the days when you dropped your sh*t if you swam), and when brought close to the beach they were as likely as not to become stuck at the shoreline. Add to that the fact that they guzzled gas like a drunken heli and yeah... Avoid.... But always liked the PBX great way to get around the edges of the map. I'm just not sure boats are much worth the effort for Chernarus. They're always stuck on the coastline and the game is not about naval stuff. With the exception of a few not so exciting islands (Skalisty with some uildings and such topping the list), I'd think the number of boats per server would be quite limited and they'd be extremely difficult to protect. Just run along the shoreline until you find one...

Ok. I've played hundreds of hours in the mod and hundreds of seconds in the standalone. Here is the winning strategy for ultimate fun in dayz: 1. Find a comfortable sitting position with your keyboard and mouse to hand and headset or speakers at a comfortable volume. 2. Move your mouse and push buttons on your keyboard until stuff happens on your screen. 3. ???? 4. Win at Dayz Don't tell everyone. This strategy is confidential.

Isn't this an issue in standalone? It's posted in the mod section...

Like... Seriously? You didn't even need to search. Just look at latest posts on the right side of the screen, there.

It would be fun to have horses but this post is akin to saying: "Stop being so 20th century! We should all fly our rocket cars around! Imagine strapping in and flying to your destination! And you could take a chance and engage the afterburners now and then like in Top Gun!" Stuff has to be created and written. This is the dayz standalone but let's be real. It's a port of the mod into an engine that the devs think they can work better with. That's why the mod and the standalone share so many bugs and characteristics. Horses have been mentioned but if they can put bikes in next week and horses in six months from now, fine. Also if the bikes could like.. Go uphill better than a hovercraft that would be peachy. Edit: I've often taken umbrage with the cows and goats and so forth. Wouldn't the zombies swarm them? I guess in the dayz world, zombies don't eat anything non-human..

Agreed. I would propose some kind of initial control, though. Like enough food for X days (like man hours. You'd have 1000 play hours on the server). Then of course restriction on weapons and so forth. But I think the idea goes a little against the 'hive' concept. It would be fun to see it more as a 'real' survival where it's kind of a resource fight. You can steal food stashes and so forth but no new food spawns...

The first photo. MAybe they're trying to implement earthquake liquefaction? You can find pictures of it online from the 2011 Christchurch in .....NEW ZEALAND.... COINCIDENCE?!?! ... I think not...

I'd like to see ultralights that can be repaired and modified.
