Shaun of the Dead

For me you started off well, but then you went stupid. I think Dayz shouldn't be so focused on guns as to have 32 different varieties. It should be focused on survival. I'd like to see the guns being basic civilian weapons. This would be far more immersive for me personally. Edit: As an after thought, I'd like it if guns would spawn in damaged and you had to repair them by finding new parts or salvaging to get them into working order. Basically I want Dayz to be less reliant on guns.

That's a lot of room mates.

I tried to agree with you but can't. If you could compare DayZ to a game at least in the same realm (being an FPS MMO on a massive map) then maybe I'd agree but comparing them to single player games is ludicrous. The difference between a small four man development team and a studio with 200 employees, an actual office and multiple games to support is ridiculous. Have you ever heard of overheads? I'm not saying Dayz is perfect, it should in my eyes be further in development than what it is. Currently it looks like they reskinned ARMA2 and tinkered with the netcode. Do I expect them to work over the Christmas break though? No. I think most of you expect far too much from Dayz and games in general. This is what happens when you let hype get the best of you. Edit: I actually agree about the transparency to a degree.

Well I found the top comment interesting.

An L85 with ammo, medical supplies and bear traps.

Thanks to whoever killed me at the Deer stand east of Bor. I was getting pretty bored. Hope you enjoy my NVGs, Bizon with 2 mags, DMR with 2 mags, camping tent, G17 with 4 mags, Camo, all the equipment except a GPS, a Coyote backpack, tons of food and medical supplies as well. Now I can gear up again and have a bit of fun.

I recently lost the contents of my Alice pack when upgrading to a Coyote pack I found. I foolishly didn't drop my Alice pack and selected the take backpack option thus losing it. I would like to see that when you select the take backpack option and you have one on, that it transfers the contents of yours to the new pack provided you have enough room.

A lot of the aspects of this game aren't "realistic". I'll meet you half way; if I select take backpack mine should replace the one on the ground, it shouldn't evaporate. That way I can still loot it.

That's what I originally thought it was for.

Backpack fix would be nice. Upgraded from a Alice to a Coyote and stupidly went take backpack without dropping my old one and lost my L85 and other stuff. Would it be possible to make the take backpack option transfer all your gear into the new one?

Vehicles are also part of the issue. Gonna wipe them as well?

It's a bit ridiculous, I suppose it's for performance reasons but it's annoying.

I mean, you can only use the respawn button once a day unless you're at the you are dead screen.

I see your point, it'll reduce it. I think this will be too easy to circumvent that's all. I'd rather see people only being allowed 1 respawn a day. That's just me though.

Enter building with a secondary level and jump off, climb a ladder and jump off, prone in a doorway, breaking legs is so easy. If someone wants to try to get a better spawn that's all they need to do.

I still think this will be abused. Couldn't a timer be put in place instead? 20-30 minutes after spawning initially before the respawn button can be used?

The community exacerbates this as well.

Spawn inside a building and the loot should despawn.

I believe the animation of pulling out the pistol causes this. Don't climb ladders with your pistol out. This will get fixed eventually but there's no need to behave the way you are.

Bandits are just your average run of the mill morons.

But Isnt That Proper Grammer?

Australian servers are usually still full at night. Trying to find a decent quiet night server is hard as it is.

Just went into a barn which had; 2 CZ550s and Crossbows, 3 Enfields, a AKS Kobra (I'm assuming someone dropped) and 2 hatchets. An extreme example but I found it funny.

Make sure you're playing on a server with the same beta as you. I had this problem when I went to an older server to play with a friend, he could pick it up but I couldn't. Also lost my bear trap doing that.

Pretty sure you use the map to set waypoints, but it's dependant on server settings.
