realism versus gameplay. do you think having the itches from genital fungus affect your aiming would be more of an 'atmosphere'? because to be honest, thats what you get not changing your damp underwear for months. i rather have helis than jock itch.

oh look, another youtuber using arneoogs intro without credit..

you do realize that the mod has loot tables tuned for gameplay, while in standalone the devs throw items at player in obscencely overabundant amounts for testing purposes? seems you dont. i agree though that the mod is an enjoyable experience to have, as long as you stick to vanilla and dont go onto that "100000 vehicles, spawn with GPS and DMR" private hives or that disneyland epoch mod

welcome to the forums! my most unfair death in the SA so far was on hardcore. I was collecting books again, and i was completely geared up, i mean i had all the good shit if you know what i mean: the new testament, brothers karamasov, even a pristine copy of moby dick. but i was starving. so i stumbled from one settlement to another, my vision blurred and monochrome, already fainting every few minutes from hunger.. finally, a house with a can of food. boy was i happy, my hands trembling with anticipation i start devouring the cold pasta when suddenly: server restart. 5 minutes later i find myself 300 meters away from the house, as hungry and battered as i was at that time. My heart beating, i rush to the house that had the delicious pasta but to my dismay, the server restart transformed the canned goodness into a black hoodie. a few minutes later i fell unconcious again and died.

you have no idea...

voodoo massage *** make you control husband mind love you long time call me now

i am totally in favor of VTOL C-130 boats. say YES!

its a pain in the ass to be in agreement with rick, but really, lets stop with the attacks, not only because its rude, but also because it detracts completely from the core of OPs post. yes, we all know its alpha. thats not the point. Insane describes exactly the game most of us want to see one day, a challenging, unforgiving game. - bullets as dear as gold? - thats music in my ears. - craving for food, celebrating a can of pasta as much as we did celebrate finding an AS50 in the early days of the mod? (yes, before the duping) - totally my cup of tea. - crafting makeshift weapons because you cant take on a wild boar with bare fists? - oh yes, please. i am totally buying into that vision of yours, Insane. Its not there yet, we established that in this thread today ;) - but let's hope at least some of it will make it.

you describe your experience with the game YESTERDAY and tell us how it currently fails to meet your expectations of the game. as i wrote in my firt post, and as i wrote in reply to your PM - we are in agreement regarding your suggestions. I disagree with your judgment of the game base on the current state though: thats present tense. you dont write "if DayZ SA remains as it currently is with its overabundant loot, it will never become the survivor game many of us want. it will be far too easy to gear up" - you refer to the game how it currently is, how you experienced it yesterday, and how it fell short. and thats all i disagree with. and adding a bigass red disclaimer doesnt change that. edit: i still love your suggestions though. edit2: you know, if you redacted your post to your TLDR: the whole discussion would never have happened and youd be buried in beans

welcome to dayz. enjoy that adrenaline.

no it isnt. its a test of assets and mechanics, providing an overabundance of ressources to enable players to use and abuse them without a thought about aquiring them. i agree with you as to what this game should become - but its absolutely wrong to expect this at current stage.

i've taken down helis with an axe.

we totally should revive the bookclub

i am collecting books on hardcore, sadly starved recently, but if i come across 'the trial' soon will notify you

rocket has announced that he will leave the dayz team probably by the end of the year. read the thing here: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-02-24-dean-hall-to-leave-bohemia-and-step-down-as-leader-of-dayz this has created a lot of buzz and end-of-the-world crying among the community. i dont agree though. looking forward to what he is up to next, and absolutely confident that he wont leave until he has set the team and game on track for a successful final release

the game is as casual as you make it. join the dayz fight club and punch your way to the top: instant fun, instant gratification.

ok i post what i post every time in such threads: the spawn points work as intended by directing player traffic to the areas from which testing feedback is desired by the devs. you will not see spawn point balancing until well into beta. do not make assumptions based on current spawn layout, it serves solely the purpose to bring you to the part of the map the devs want many players in.

BE does actually a pretty good job. do not confuse cheating via third party hacks, glitching, and playing a playstyle the admin may not condone. those are three fundamentally different things, and mixing them up in a topic about cheaters is pointless.

tss... you know there is a pinned 'medical assistance' thread, right?

I'd say thats a vast improvement over the mod, where we had loot spawn 30m above the ground. and people say there is no progress! seriously though, i think the spawns will be properly adjusted once the house geometry is fixed.. i hope..

we can all agree that servers should -reliably- communicate the proper time of day.

i thought all the friendlies were in cherno. seriously though, we medics are all armed. will still patch you up and share food.

you need to work out, so you dont lie to yourself when you sing along with LMFAO

i know several - some even lead large clans. they dont answer to primitive, crude forum requests though.
