Spirit (DayZ)

I feel the need to say this. This game isn't anything like Call of Duty. If it was, there would be people quick scoping, no scoping, 360 quick scoping everyone. Yeah, you can call it becoming a death match game, but calling it Call of Duty is silly because Call of Duty is pass that silliness. At least the players that do snipe in this game does what an actual sniper would do in real life, they camp a spot and provide cover or just camp a spot to get rid of all threats. Call of Duty is just running around quick scoping everyone. I believe Rocket does plan on adding Single Player, but he first wants to make the mod have no bugs before continuing on with Single Player. I believe.

Alright, I finally decided to install the beta patch so I could get some more recent versions of DayZ. Well, when I try to install the beta patch after it's at 100% it says "Wrong CD Key." I have bought the Combined Operations Edition from Steam. The beta patch version I am trying to install is build 93965, and I have also tried install to build 93825. Both gave me the same error "Wrong CD Key." I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I also know my CD Key didn't let me choose my gender a while back too. So is my CD Key somehow invalid or something? I just don't see why it'd say I have a "Wrong CD Key." Any help, or anyone else having the same issue?

This is already a "lets kill everybody game" where have you been. Yes their video is utter crap. The extra promotion brings more $ to the this development team + increases the value of this mod, making Bohimia Interactive to supply them with more resources to make it by all means successful. Therefor, I thumbs up their video because they promoted this mod. Even though their video sucked. You don't thumbs up a video on YouTube for their promotion, you thumbs up videos on YouTube for their good quality. That video had no good quality whatsoever. It was cheating left and right. I don't mind them advertising it for what the mod is, but the way they presented the mod was completely false, they say they just started yet they get a 1 shot pistol plus a lot of other useful items? It makes people think they get a 1 shot pistol and a load of other stuff when they spawn. It's false information. The DayZ daytime servers are already overcrowding, now we got another hundred thousand more players coming our way? All the servers will end up crashing or being full if so. The servers will need a boost.

I couldn't watch it all.. What I gathered though is that they aren't even playing DayZ correctly. By the comments and the look of the video I saw it looks like they were playing on a private server. They started with more gear then they are suppose to start, probably given by RidgeDog. They even have RidgeDog protecting them when Simon got down, what fun is that to watch? They apparently just started the game, yet they have someone protecting them making sure they don't die. Not fun to watch when you know they won't die because they got someone with silenced guns protecting them, plus the thought that they may be playing on a private sever.

These things better be super rare, I don't want to see bear traps laying around everywhere at door entrances or spawn. All I ask, is that they be super rare that way people will think twice about placing it in places that they don't need it placed at.

I seriously don't get why you guys are hating on this guy for posting a completely true thread. It is a whining thread, something I wouldn't make. It's something that is 100% true though and needs to be fixed. It's pretty funny too. You can't say you didn't laugh.

It's literally impossible to stop being "paranoid" when everyone who sees you shoots you. It's basically whoever shoots first kills, that's why whenever someone sees someone else first they shoot to kill. Sometimes it'll be for their gear, sometimes not. Like just not even a full hour ago I was playing and was looting an apartment. I heard footsteps below me, I didn't know of any gear they had, all I knew is that they were coming up and was probably going to shoot me as soon as they saw me. So luckily the person tried grabbing loot in the middle of the hallway which was enough time for me to shoot him. Of course, I didn't know of any gear that person had which turned out to be a lot of rare items. I only killed him in a panic thinking if I gave my position away he would kill me. Let's be honest here, 80% of the game's users would shoot anyone on sight nowadays, back then about 50% would it was equal. Since everyone back then shot on sight, more and more people shoot on sight every day. It's something that will have to be gotten over with because it won't ever end. One or two people may stop due to this thread, but then you have the people who won't and people who will not stop just creates more people who shoot on sight because they are "paranoid" that the next person they see would kill them if they didn't. Hopefully this explained why people are "paranoid" and why it won't ever end.

You're going to get a million "It's alpha" posts on this thread. Yes there is something wrong with almost every feature in this game, that's why there is the Alpha stage.

There is ways to become black, don't say there aren't. There is a video on YouTube on how to customize your character through editing your files and you can make yourself black there. I'd like to see a variety of different versions of male and female also, but right now they need to focus on stability of the mod itself before adding more cosmetic features.

Those were my favorite parts, haha. This is the only "complaining" thread I can really enjoy. I died laughing at "Incredibly I could not even punch or kick - only to just accept the blows pathetically" only because it's really true. Honestly, since they added melee weapons you should be able to kick, punch, or something to defend yourself to make it more realistic. Thank you, you made my night. I could just picture you standing there taking it, and then somehow your legs broke and you crawling away thinking you got away, and then him just appear and brutally kill you. I am still laughing.

I actually have the same issue with everything which I am shocked to hear this. I made a thread myself regarding this issue earlier today, with no responses. I'll try some of the suggestions here to try to fix it. I hope this'll fix it.

Alright, earlier today I posted a thread about the beta patch not installing saying my CD key was invalid or something like that, well now I have a more serious problem here. I'll start from the very beginning at how I think what happened, happened. A long time ago I downloaded that SP mod for DayZ, and you could change your skin or whatever to whatever you wanted, so I changed it to the bandit skin. I decided to uninstall DayZ including Arma 2 so I deleted all the files. Just yesterday I decided to reinstall everything and then I got that CD key error, which I fixed today. So now when I am in game my hands show as the bandit skin hands, and when I try to enter 3rd person, it looks like I go into 3rd person but I am invisible. When I look down on my chest though it looks like the regular human chest, it's only the arms that show the bandit style. Alright, so my first instinct was to just respawn and it'll fix this issue. No it doesn't, when I respawn I still have the hands, I am still invisible when I try to enter third person, and I spawn in the debug forest. My next instinct is to switch servers because maybe it's just that server having this issue, I go to another one and it respawns me back to where I was before when I first logged in. Even if I travel a little bit, then I respawn, then I join another server I still appear to be in the same state as I was when I first joined the server as if I never pressed the "respawn" button. Quicker Explanation - I look around and I see no zombies no nothing but buildings, my character is invisible in third person, my hands look like the bandit hands, but my body doesn't when I look down. I probably need Rocket or someone to reset my character somehow because I think this all happened because of the SP mod. Any information would help, but I hope I can give my CD key to Rocket and he can reset my character somehow. I am almost 100% positive this is caused by the single player mod. Thanks if you have read it all, anything could help. Also sorry if I don't explain it very well I am typing really fast hoping I can get help, just ask and I will explain it better. EDIT: Oh also, I don't have a debug monitor either, I thought that was probably added in the patch, but I know the things I mention up above wasn't added in the beta patch or whatever. EDIT 2: There is noway for me to fix this as far as I am concerned, I made a new player profile and it didn't change anything. I do have some more information though that I forgot, when I look at my shadow, I only see my guns, my Makarov and Winchester, and it says I make no sound, and zombies cannot see me where it shows how much sound you make and that kind of stuff. I can still see people talk and hear people talk on mics, but I can't seem to find any zombies. EDIT 3: Fixed, I fixed this problem by installing the SIX Updater and Launcher.. I guess it wasn't the SP mod after all.

I do have both games installed, I was asking if I should reinstall both or only OA.

You're using this as evidence to have bandit skins? Seriously? You could of told easily if you would've just stopped and tried to listen for heart beats, or if you just ran away. Running away would've been the easier simpler idea. Let's get back to the discussion of why bandit skins were removed in the first place, shall we? What it looks like is Rocket wants this to basically be a "zombie apocalypse simulator" and wants full realism. In this case, it's not realistic for you to tell someone's personality just because they wear a certain outfit.

There is a suggestion forum for a reason. Ya know, to suggest things. Personally, I don't think this will ever happen. This game is getting to the point of it just being a zombie apocalypse simulator with full realism, which I enjoy that. So, do you think it's realistic for when you kill a survivor that your gun would just drop out of your hand?

Like said before Morphine isn't the biggest issue, the biggest issue is how fragile you are in this game which is completely unrealistic. This game tries to achieve realism, so it needs to succeeds since all it's done in these updates is add realism. With that being said they need to fix the glitches where you'll either randomly fall down and break your legs, or you'll fall down a few steps and break your legs. Possibly make it so it's harder for zombies to break your bones. Either way, the way Morphine works too isn't fully realistic either, but one step at a time and they need to cover the major things first like randomly breaking your legs.

This hasn't happened to me. I was just on a server that crashed, and people were complaining about their food/drink bar, but mine was still full, like it was before the server crashed. Strange..

I think you misunderstand what the word "idiot" means. An idiot is someone who is unintelligent, or retarded. This is a game of survival, and when people hear you offering Blood Packs and all other sort of medical supplies, they are going to kill you for it. Just because somebody misses 10 times with a Makarov doesn't mean he is an idiot, he's just unskillful. People who kill you know they'll need more medical supplies in the future, and think that you may not have any at the time they need it, and decide to kill you so they can have all the medical supplies. It's just common sense really, specially in video games they aren't just going to take a blood pack and walk away, they would want more.

Game purchase only.(I wouldn't pay monthly for any game, and F2P with items bought with real money would be abused to be the best in the game.) Studio developed. Studio servers.(Community servers would be abused in many ways and totally disagree with community servers.) Yes Kickstarter(You deserve cash and I am sure there are many people out there that would donate to you, and I think you should start a Kickstarter, help you out some.)

Look, this game is in Alpha there are going to be glitches such as glitching through walls. When you play a game in Alpha state, you are testing it, you're not there to have fun to the fullest extent. When this is fixed there is no need to fix the blood, and they aren't going to make a temporary patch until then. Remember, this game is in Alpha and not meant to be played to have fun in the fullest extent yet. Yes it is meant to have some fun, but you won't get the most fun until Alpha is completed.

Just a quick question, will DayZ cost money after Alpha is completed? I don't want to buy Arma 2: Combined Operations if soon after I have to buy DayZ itself. Meaning, will it stay a free mod? Or become an actual game you have to purchase in the future? I'm sure some of us is wondering this due to the success of the mod. ~Thanks.

thats what i initially thought, but it seemed to ridiculous His first language obviously wasn't English, but give him a break. I am positive what he means is, for that one life you are a bandit, but when you die your humanity will reset and you'd be back to the Survivor state.
