Are you always this big of an entitled jerk off or do you keep it condensed to this one post?

If anyone is DEMANDING anything, they should get the fuck out of this community. FACT.

Brilliant in it's simplicity.

I think maybe you're just a douche. If it's so easy, make a tutorial. It's a pain in the ass. Every single way you can buy Arma means you have a vastly different way of installing things. It's a confusing nightmare. Get over yourself, Mr. Gates. "STOP POSTING ON A FORUM ASKING PEOPLE WHO MAY HAVE SUCCESSFULLY DONE SOMETHING HOW THEY DID IT!!!!" Just once, read your own posts in the third person. Then, go cry yourself to sleep on your gigantic pillow because you realize what a condescending ass you've been.

You realize this is opt in, right? DayZ has had no advertising, AT ALL. It's all been word of mouth, and as long as I've been involved here, we were aware it was an alpha test. Not even an OPEN BETA, it's an alpha. There is no better way to warn you that something will be extremely buggy, other than renaming the term 'apha test' to 'retardo romparoom'. Please stop acting like such entitled children. You bring your Blizzard forum entitlement to a DIY alpha test of a mod that has a skeleton crew developing it in the midst of a media blitz. Give the guy a goddamned break.

People are really arrogant about their banditry in this game. It's either that, or they exhibit EXTREMELY anti-social behavior and hide that by playing video games like DayZ. You are not seeing suggestions for humanity systems because people want to punish bandits, STOP OVER SIMPLIFYING SOMETHING THAT IS ABOVE YOUR HEADS. People are making these suggestions because there is nothing in game that simulates that actual decision making process of killing another human being in cold blood. This game is designed, admittedly by Rocket, as a means of putting your nerves and you're conscious through the ringer. He wants you to mull over EVERY SINGLE DECISION. That's the entire point of the temperature system, to make you make the decision whether you would chance an infection to go out into the rain. However, there is zero decision making in murdering another player. Matter of fact, logically it's the only choice, as killing a player and taking his shit is clearly more easy than raiding towns to get loot that might not even be there. People are trying to come up with ideas that use humanity because they are trying to add weight to that decision making process again. The bandit system was a very crude version of it. "Do I really want to kill that man and have a bandit skin that makes me a target". It made you think twice because there was no visual cue of a person having a unique, emotional face or a personality in game. Everyone wears the same 3 outfits, everyone wears the same 3 glasses, everyone wears the same 4 backpacks. We all look the same which means we give you no visual cues that appeal to humanity the way a person's face does in real life, tugging at your decision making on a subconscious level. In DayZ, we are all the same 3D models people have been killing by the dozens in FPS video games. It makes us EASIER to kill. That's why a system is so desperately needed in this game. They need to make that trigger finger decision more of an issue again. It doesn't have to punish anyone. It just has to make you think twice, even for a split second. I know everyone here is a post apocalypse badass who is going to make Denzel look like a punk in Book of Eli but GET REAL. The majority of you would crumble with that kind of decision staring back at you down the iron sights of a gun. Stop pretending to be some closet psychopath who wants to go on a school shooting just to protect your ability to PK, it's getting fucking tired and old watching these forums go in the same circles with you ALL MISSING THE FUCKING POINT.

Dear people DDoSing DayZ. Why. Because you got caught hacking or duping and now you want to take your ball and go home? Grow the fuck up, and get a social life. You're worthless and botnets take absolutely no skill or know how, especially when you're sneaking into your parents bedroom to use your Mommy's credit card to rent one. I hope someone tracks these kids down and dox them hard.

Funny story, my cat teleports through walls!

Wow. Neverending zombie train. Killed about 20 by myself, then a newbie trained another 30-40 on us, tried to steal my AK out of my backpack, and paid the price. it still sounded like the building was surrounded so maybe I'll wait out the next hot fix...

All of these issues will fade out to more normal levels once there are things in the game that promote social interaction. At the moment, information is all available OUTSIDE of game. Loot spawns, locations, everything. The map and compass are pretty much useless if you're at all capable of reading Topo and have a second monitor. Information needs to be important in game, and unique. Just like real life, where things change and are not scripted, where zombies might roam, or there will be more at Town A but Town B will be deserted, information will need to be traded by players. As of right now, the game is largely anti-social, and I know Rocket has basically said he wants that, as the apocalypse is anti-social, but I simply disagree. Information needs to be a commodity that must be traded IN-GAME, promoting players to be more likely to actually try to see if someone has information rather than just hiding in a bush and gunning down every single player who walks by.

I think you really just went about this the wrong way. Trying to publicly name and shame someone has muddled your actual message, now your intentions were a bit pointless. Next time, you have to be more tactful.

I think it's safe to assume at this point rocket called it a night. Sunday morning patch!!!

DayZ is a hardcore game, not fucking carebear WoW. Rocket stated earlier in the upcoming patch thread that 1.6.4 will focus on the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, since, after the break down of society, condoms would become increasingly hard to come by. Also, the social sensibilities that prevent us from being okay with having various STDs would be lifted in the case of an apocalypse, so after he adds the new 'sexual infections' mechanics in for 1.6.4, you'll simply have to balance the risk vs. reward of engaging in sexual activities with the one female model. Oh, and you also have to weigh the consequences that the female model you've been stalking through Cherno is actually a male player.

:heart::heart::heart:

You're absolutely right. My first kill instantly made me a bandit and I had over 2500 from giving medical aid to a buddy. Also, killed a bandit before, then went to look the area he was in, and his friend, who was a survivor, came out shooting at me. I killed him and it made me a bandit for acting in self defense against a guy who landed a shot on me first.

So then 1.6 will be the great bandit removal/ skin looting patch? Sorry, I'm just excited for the new skins, can't wait to get my Pokemon on and collect all those mofos.

I imagine I can outrun them because of muscle atrophy and decaying joints? Running at top speed can sometimes be dangerous to healthy people. These zombies should be losing extremities as they sprint. Though, the speed isn't my complaint. It's the laggy warping, clipping through walls and doors (what is the point of doors anyway?) and the super zigzagging. A step in the right direction would be to give doors health values, and make zombies have to break through them. Players with wood and a toolbox can repair wooden doors or scrap metal can repair metal doors. Also, I don't understand why people keep talking about stamina, isn't there stamina in game? I can hear my character get noticeably winded until I stop running and take a knee for a moment. Also, my animations get slower. Sprint at top speed, watch how your arms and legs slow down after a bit.

I don't know why people with valid complaints are treated like such shit. There ARE a lot of people who are just DMing. You can see them taunting players and trolling in side chat instead of doing anything else. This segment of the playerbase exists. Stop being so fucking naive about it and pretending this is some myth. Is it enough to ruin DayZ for me? Nope. Not yet at least, but I can understand someone being frustrated or disappointed with it. It's just a shame that there are so many jerkoffs in this community that they would rather insult someone than spend even two minutes trying to identify the problem and think of a solution.

I like this idea and it interfaces quite a bit with my witness murder / social system suggestion in my sig!

Thanks for the update Rocket, we appreciate your hard work! Question, does that part about the fires mean we can finally have indoor fires or opposite?
