CHANGELOG!!!!

This is what annoys us the most. If this is their way of thinking, then quite frankly it's insulting to us. What happened to the days of developers posting news on THEIR websites first. Now it's splashed around on 100 social media sites. Here's an old idea guys. Update the webpage with news, no matter how small, the social media sites can feed from that. Now see this rational proposal get beaten down by the neckbeards with their fingers in the ears as something slightly negative is said about the dev team...

No... just no. You tried being clever by saying "you mean doe!!!! hawhawhaw". The fact here is that you saw the connection between 'doh' and 'doe'. As you think you are super clever, and no-one else could possibly make the connection, you thought "hey! I can make a comment and show the forum how witty I am!" Instead you come across looking like a tool. Well done

Ah you have my beans. Nice reply, made me laugh :P

I use the term 'rats' or 'rat fu@ks'. Purely because they are most likely to turn on you/betray you.

And then you end it with this? You just made your entire rant null and void you idiot. Go borrow your dads razor and shave your neck.

Black and White was mediocre at best, many would say grossly over hyped. Let's be honest, development on this game IS slow. No denying that. They were upfront about taking a couple years more to release a 'finished' product, so good on them. And to the 'person that works in software dev' who thinks adding more people to the DayZ team won't speed up development.. wow, just wow. Ultima Online was launched within about 2 years of starting development. This was an ambitious game for it's time, much like DayZ really. 2 years to do everything, engine from scratch. They had a large team and money behind them. Point is, money CAN (if certain people arn't greedy) speed up the development of a game, and the game doesn't have to be generic shooter #232. It's probably best just to.... relax. It'll be done when it's done, and not a moment before!

sounds lame, no. i'm just gonna keep playing dayz the way it's intended to be played. Take your cancerous private hive to the server forum.

Quote from Rocket How about you finish this game first :P

Sound like a typical loud mouthed american to me. Forum needs an 'I'll take your beans' button

They should have 'official' servers. These are named accordingly, ie "US Offical Server #1 - hosted by blah blah". No admin powers on them, thats right the server owner can't even kick people. If it happens to restart frequenty (ie a local admin physically takes it offline), it is blacklisted for a time. Would ISPs still be willing to give up 'control' of their servers for this? I dare say many would as they get to be 'official' hosts. Anyone else can have their shitty private hives. This is really the only way to stop admin abuse. People say 'report the server'. Damage has already been done and who's to say reporting always gets a result?

A friend and I had a similar problem last night. Could hear eachother in game, and couldn't even see each others chat in direct chat. Trying a different server fixed our issue.

Can I apply as a check out chick?

Exactly. And this is why they will do this timer in every situation. All those wanting 'instant log out on crashing/dcing' are living in la la land. There is no way, absolutely no way, the server can ever know the difference between a crash or disconnection, and some neckbeard resetting his computer or modem. It's not that big a deal...

I highly highly doubt it was removed because 'people were writing racist messages'. Rocket wants a game where people play how they want. I mean if it's ok to handcuff someone, strip them down, then shoot them in the head. Then why would rude/racist messages matter? The world we live in today. Political correctness gone mad, worse to play a racist than it is a murderer. So yes, would HOPE it's not due to this reason or I'd be quite dissapointed.

Thread should have ended at 1 reply "Because Rocket says so".

Exactly. Not a matter of if, just simply when it's added. It's the only possible solution. Wouldn't be happy with 5 seconds though, at the very least double that :P

You're the first person to report this issue, thank you for being so observant to notice this!

Had to really think about this. Been so long since I started playing so have forgotten what it's like to not know where you are! It's a tough one, doubt there will be many people agreeing with one another on the topic. Personally I think the best idea would be as you mentioned: Spawning with a friend, only if spawning at the same time. And of course you can't choose where to spawn, maybe a menu comes up (saying 'do you wish to spawn with xx') when 2 or more eligible friends are ready to spawn. This wouldn't break immersion or be very game breaking. Might be nice..

Anyone else not a fan of private hives at all? I found the dayz community in the mod became extremely fragmented, most servers on mods/private hives etc. Granted hacking was a problem so this was a way to battle it. I just don't know :( From what I understand the official community will be divided on normal/hardcore servers, so i don't like the way this is looking. Meh, it's probably just me.

You know... I wouldn't mind bicycles atm either. Just chuck them in as is. Put a few near the spawns. Hiding on electro hills shooting off bambis on bicycles making the dash through electro would be quite fun.

I think people would be happy with a 20 second timer... If you move then log out is cancelled, etc. Typical mmo kinda deal would be fine.

Instead, rocket decided to return to the motion capture studio and record extra animations for his inventory system.

It's in Steam news. My client downloaded it over an hour ago, and servers are running it. Looks like it's deployed...

Can you do a test and try remove buildings? That'll suck if people can see others in buildings!
