When will people tire of posting the same whine over and over? If a bug got you killed, just take a step back, get a stiff drink, and go play something else for a while.
-
Are you saying the game is unplayable? Further, this alpha is closed. You have to pay $30 to access it.

Number one rule of DayZ, regardless of your playstyle, is to never get attached to your gear. The tears of the anti-socials will be the most delicious. -

All the people panicking on reddit and here about the wipe? All the people who "quit playing". Etc. -
My old man once told me "Never reduce a complex and ever-evolving world into a simple, narrow-minded, folksy proverb."

You didn't even have to go to Hollywood for the analog. Call of Duty fits this profile to a T.

Has anyone else been killed by an invisible player?

How do you know he ran up to your friend and turned to you if he was invisible? -
Good thing you didn't spend your money on early access alpha then.

What "End Game Gear" Should Theoretically Be Like At Release
grindstone50k replied to hannibaldaplaya's topic in General Discussion
I wouldn't mind more variants that use different calibers, as long as when the game is balanced, the ammo is made more scarce. It would make having to choose between certain ammo and guns when scavenging. -
Almost as if the focus is on testing new mechanics and content, rather than balancing, which generally comes during Beta.
-
Try coordinating a team of more than 5 people in DayZ. Especially those with zero Arma or military experience. It's worse than herding cats. More like cats with guns and everyone looks like mice. You're better off playing Breaking Point or even just Arma.

One weird trick to avoid upcoming character wipe
grindstone50k replied to kakysas666's topic in General Discussion
Is that what "Additionally, BattlEye will begin broadcasting a message every hour warning users of the upcoming stable hive reset that comes with the 0.49 update." referred to? I suppose I wasn't sure that reset meant character wipe in this case. Thanks for pointing that out. -

We still don't know for sure when the wipe will come. Just keep playing and testing and stop worrying about your gear. You're going to get killed eventually anyway. -
You do when the video game being discussed is grounded in "authenticity", which neither of the two mentioned games are even close to.

LOL at all the character wipe drama. -
Any other setting, speculating with a complete lack of information would get you no where. But since it's a vidya gaem it's ok.

No. They're not classical zombies. They're infected people.

Semi/full-auto gas-operated firearms require a special muzzle attachment to make them fire more than one shot when using blank ammo. Having this attachment would effectively negate the "surprise" aspect considering how noticeable it is. Plus, realistically, even most US gun owners don't have a big stockpile of blanks sitting around, much less would it be spread throughout a former East-bloc nation. Also, way too much speculation about rifle malfunctions from the uninformed in this thread.

I am very pleased with the progress being made.
grindstone50k replied to Xbow's topic in General Discussion
I actually trapped about half a dozen inside of the warehouses with the large sliding doors. It was great. I wanted to put down a note that said "DON'T DEAD OPEN INSIDE" -
DayZ is still a BIS game. Rocket knows his calibers and there is another dev on the team who knows quite a bit about firearms, but his name escapes me. There is more than one input into the decision-making process.
-
Doesn't seem to scare BIS.

The milsurp 7.62x54r that I have is copper-washed steel case. It looks nothing like the lacquered cases you have as an example. If new players can't read the in-game description, then screw them. They need to go back and learn some basic reading skills first. Read the gun, read what caliber it takes, read the ammo, match accordingly. It's no different from that match-the-blocks-to-the-holes toy you had in pre-school. If they can't figure it out, then that's their handicap.

I've been having a blast with this game since day 2 of release when I picked it up. Of course, I don't go in expecting a 100% fully functional masterpiece of a game. I expect an early alpha game. I think one of the unintended consequences of the devs having such a close relationship and interaction with the community and a very open development process is that a lot of people now think their opinion is significant. -
Shacktac seems to make do with first-person only vehicles.
