Strategos (DayZ)

Yeah i've put in about 80 hours. Like i said I can see the flaws but I'm still getting scared by my own shadow or by sneaky goats lol and still loving it.

Don't get me wrong I've seen how you could burn yourself out playing it, and it can be so frustrating, but I keep coming back and it keeps delivering :)

Yeah i'm with you on this one.

Well if one generator is linked to one buildings, one compounds or maybe bigger ones that are harder to repair and harder to fuel for a section of town? The game can impose arbitrary restrictions on it if necessary. Who knows whats drawing power unseen in a messed up system ?

I didn't like this idea to begin with, but its grown on me. Personally I think full power-stations are a bit OTT. But buildings and small areas with emergency generators you could repair and fuel would be great I think.

Anything that makes the game more forgiving is pretty much a no no in my opinion not to mention unrealistic.

Starting choice is a bad idea. People find one that has a slight advantage in some way and everyone just uses that. The current system of finding skins is much nicer.

Our tents seem to be storing ok. Trying not to get obsessed with bugs as this is the suggestions forum. Ill check the bug forum and add it. Added power station idea to my good ideas list I think it could work. Without detracting from the game as long as its toned down to be something smaller :)

Yeah I got a dupe as well, pitched it then packed it up and moved it. Came back later and there was a tent where i removed the old one. With one bit of gear still in it.

Yeah I thought of it a bit like that myself. But its pretty random. I've been for a quick dip and lost nearly everything I own , and for a long swim and lost nothing. I like a bit more consistency from my features! :)

I have used the inch forward trick, when you start getting the animation to place tent but it doesn't pitch you are very close to finding your spot. Although not impossible its VERY difficult.

Confirmed again. 1.0.6.0.1 Found one today. No loot, not enter-able and Mini gun muzzle flash frozen on barrel..

Date/Time: 28/05/12 9 ish What happened: Both me and my mate looted a corpse at the same time. Both of us completely crashed. Complete lock up of the game. Corpse had a pack on and a m16 acog in his hand. No buzzing flies noise was heard. The moment we both clicked "gear" we crashed. Where you were: 2nd floor fire station building. What you were doing: Looting a corpse. *Current installed version: 1.6.0.1 *Server(s) you were on: UK1 *Your system specs: *Timeline of events before/after error:

I think the idea of this game is you are YOU after a zombie apocalypse. Please correct me if Im wrong Rocket.

Can I have your stuff?

"The tents are working as intended, they're just hard as tits to place. " Which isn't intended.

lol i will be mocking any sexually confused people I meet. Any ETA on patch delivery?

Date/Time: 15:30 26/05/12 What happened: Died pressing V button stuck on steps of house. Crunch noise hound myself under the floor of the house unconscious and bleeding. When I recovered I was still under the floor of the house and died. Where you were: House in northern town. What you were doing: Couldn't walk up steps, pressed V to climb up them. Ended up half in the collision of the floor. *Current installed version: 1.5.8.4 *Server(s) you were on: UK1 *Your system specs: Good *Timeline of events before/after error: survived for 3 days fine . Tried to enter house. Died :p

"I feel that adding things such as wind would make the game too inaccessible and overcomplicated for a lot of people" lol that's brilliant.

there are some drawbacks to this though. 1) no one is ever going to stop and read what is in anybody's journal, they only want to take your beans. I would read them. 2)people will focus more on trying to survive/loot than take the actual time to write in such a journal 3) though people may try to use it, the fact that they will die, over and over again will make the novelty wear off. I would write them. 4)i'm concerned this may be too "forgiving"? for lack or a better word, i believe no one should ever have any connection to their past lives. death should mean utter oblivian. I don't think there should be a connection. the journal is on your corpse for people to read. A local copy saved for you to publish on forums etc. 5) that's what forums are for right? shouldn't you just write down your experiences there? achieves the same end result. see above.

Awesome stuff but PLEASE fix the tents!

Lol yeah we did that too Daimyo, its messing up our whole group.

Travelling to meet up with your friends is the first challenge you face accept it.

Just pick tin cans as your unit of currency, job done.

It should remain brief. Yeah I hate it when I get killed but I come straight back in and feel excited about building up my gear all over again.
