cocksucker. why remake a video thats been done a zillion times? honestly its a cheap, faggy skanky trick which was popular back in 2000. get with the times.

if you are hungry is it better to run or walk? can you go further walking before you need to drink or eat than you can running? wonder if anyone knows thanks

this is how i lost my character when i first logged in after 1.24 update. some zombies miles away on the other side of the field, i lay down and alt tab out for a second and when i come back 10 seconds later im dead. and i just logged in again trying to start a new character. i really dont think ill bother though, its an exercise in futility. the only way to approach a town or village for a new player is to crawl from about 50 meters away and then try and crawl around the village, but really if you do this you will die of dehydration so its really pretty impossible.

me too, i posted this a few days ago, ive only been playing for a week but since 124 zomies are literally being aggroed from over hills and far far away. it is pretty ridiculous. not to mention pistols now take about 5 shots to kill just 1. its totally unbalanced atm unfortunately.

no matter how shitty things get, it makes being kind all the more honorable. i will never kos, apart from if i know someone else is, then i will kos them, but thats it.

to answer op's problem. the next step up is to increase the size of the maps and the player limit, probably to around 300 people would be optimal. increase the importance of towns, so theyre worth protecting, and make them interdependant, so trade must go on between towns for them to profit and be worth defending. and then the game would be awesome. naturally youd get roaming groups of bandits, but also vagabonds, loners and most importantly, people grouping together to protect their town and make an effort to police the game, or atleast make certain areas more secure. dying would still be bad but less of a problem, as if you were part of a community you could go back to that community and naturally they can help you a bit. i know this is probably outside the scope of dayz, but dayz has made me really look forward to the possibility of this kind of game.

no. for the reason that not everyone has friends to play with. infact probably alot of people like to play by themself.

as far as i know there is no way to tell a player killer from a nice guy. are there any plans for this? i know that realism is your aim but it does really suck hard to be killed instantly by some guy camping in a room all day. perhaps the player that gets killed can write a death note in their blood kinda thing, and it floats around the area and can be read for a couple of days by anyone passing by before it disintegrates. maybe something like this would be good? or perhaps you can make an item which pings a players gps the location of every murder, then you might have some kind of bounty hunters or police force clans popping up i just wonder if any kind of system is being planned to help identify or deal with murderers. i would like to see this kind of game with about 300 people per server, enough people for there to be communities and outlaws.then you could have teams taking it upon themselves to police towns and cities, and groups of notorious bandits trying to raid them. the map would have to be scaled up, as would the importance of towns so that they were worth protecting, perhaps they could be trade centers, with banks and public houses, interdependant on each other, so merchants would need to be protected as they transport goods from town to town. i know this is a little outside the scope of dayz, but i think it would be an awesome mmo.

this is my thought after trying to play for 5 days or so. they are just broken. almost completely unneccessary, as the main struggle is against humans. they move WAY too fast, making aiming IMPOSSIBLE they see you from FAR too far away, making it impossible not to attract them they chase you FOREVER, and cannot be shrugged off reliably by hiding in bushes or running through trees. they walk through walls, can spawn right next to you, and can knock you out in one touch, which basically means your dead. there are too many of them unless you have a team, or the patience to crawl around every town in prone position. you ALWAYS get seen by one that you didnt know was there, ALWAYS get chased forever, which becomes so tedious it is little more than harassment in the end. It doesnt add tention to the game because you know if you run in a straight line theyll never get you. you ALWAYS get hit because you cannot shoot them until they are right next to you. i would love to play this game but with fair rules, that can be predicted. zombies really dont ADD much to the game at all, infact in their current state i really think they detract from the game. i dont think many people have the patience to constantly be screwed over and lose their characters due to zombie bugs and super human abilities. why dont they get scaled right back, in numbers and abilities, until the game is in a more solid and less buggy state? really i think this would be a wise move by the dev/s to keep people happy and playing instead of becoming infuriated and not wanting to invest the time anymore, like i have become.

whats depressing is the lack of honest feedback due to nazi's like you patrolling the boards, i made it clear that i know its alpha. my only suggestion was to tone it down, while there are so many bugs. when theyre fixed, then by all means, bring them back to this level and see how it goes. there is another benefit in that they can test a different meta aspect of the game. what will the increase in survivors do? i bet that most deaths, the vast majority, are by zombies. this is fine, but what change would it make if players could survive for 50% longer? would there be more warbands and interesting things happening? the time to test these things is PRECISELY THIS time, as we are in ALPHA, like you so correctly said. and one more thing, the "WHOLE POINT", is not to put you into a situation you cannot survive. that would be ridiculous. on the contrary, the whole point is TO SURVIVE, under great adversity. making zombies stop running at freak speeds does not alter the WHOLE POINT of the game, it makes it better, as more people will survive long enough to have meaningful contact with OTHER PLAYERS. which is ALWAYS more interesting. dimwit dont speak to me.

Or is it just me??? I am having zombies literally coming over the hills at me just for standing up. has something changed?

person 3 never finds vehicle 1 and 2 because it is hidden. infact, thats why you hid it, to ensure that he wont find it, so you defeat your own argument. person 1 knows that vehicle a and b wont be found, and thats why he is hoarding them. just because something is still on the map doesnt mean it has the same chance of being found as if it were in its natural spawn point.

so its 33 minutes and counting since i tried to log back in. each server ive tried has just stuck on "loading" for such a long time ive ctrl alt deleted it. the one server which loaded in a respectable time was at night time so i had to quit it. i have tried 4 other servers and given each of them approx 7 minutes to load, and this is on an ssd. is it a bug or what? im just about to ctrl alt delete a fifth server.

atleast you got hit by a zombie. i lost a character yesterday by opening a door and being crushed against the wall when it opens. it broke my legs miles away from any hospital, i crawled for an hour to get halfway back to a town with a hospital and got shot by some idiot.

i gave up after about 10 tries. guess ill try again tomorrow.

Hi, i wonder if someone here would be kind enough to help me. I have been working all day on a new character, trying to be patient and do things properly.. until.. a door broke all my bones and left my lower half paralyzed. I opened a door and when it opened it crushed me against the wall. to make things worse i am probably about 5 hours front-crawl away from any hospital area. I wonder if anyone could possibly help? please pm me if you can, and i will give you my location and the ip address of the server. or ill join any server your on. thankyou :(

i search everywhere i can. all i find is endless forests and small villages which have nothing in them at all, tonnes of zombies which chase you forever, like literally, forever. since starting a fresh game, i have not found a single drink. what the hell am i supposed to do??? this isnt my first go, but i feel like i am just wasting my time because i have had no chance to survive. just run and run and run to find empty village after empty village, and then die of thirst. SPAWN MORE STUFF. NOT MORE ZOMBIES. and wtf, also yesterday zombies were taking 2 shots with a makerov, now each zombie needs 2 CLIPS?!

probably because youve found your way to a city, which there seems to be so much loot compared to ANYWHERE else in the WHOLE game.

I just have to write this to try to clean my conscience. yesterday some guy named david helped me alot. today im playing and i hear shooting, turn and see a player, fire 1 shot and it kills him dead, and it was david :( he was probably just shooting zombies. i feel terrible. david, just on the off chance you see this, i am so sorry.

I am a new player who cant seem to find any information. I cant join a game because OA is down for maintenance. How long do these normally last? Any guesses on when the servers will be back? Cheers

awesome. thankyou :D

thankyou, but how long is not long?? is it worth sticking around? or are they gonna be like more than 2 hours?
