Strategos (DayZ)

I'm not sure snarling is necessary, nothing wrong with constructive criticism though ;)

Yeah Bug fixes are a priority for the development cycle but obviously this is a suggestions forum for new ideas.

A fix for this is really needed asap.

I actually like this idea. They would have to be visually different to normal players. I think the horror of encountering cannibals would be a real gut wrencher in the game. I can see human bodies roasting over fires lol

Yeah we just got 5 people to rendevouz to make camp and tents will not place at all. Tres frustrating.

Seeing the same reported issues. Flies with no bodies. Tents not placeable at all. Guns disappearing when swapping weapons on ground. Context sensitive commands getting stuck on repair helicopter etc.

Bumping this , I cannot place tents since 1.5.8.4. UK server 11-12pm 24/05/12 Unable to place tent in hour of trying.

How can you pitch a tent on a hill, I can find the flattest ground with no trees nearby and still NOT be able to pitch it. So far I spent about 40 minutes last night trying every spot i could and havnt been able to do it.

Yeah i'm seeing this as well.

I agree with this 100%. Part of the joy of this mod is the simplicity of the concept. I love the realism and the survival elements and would like to see some of that stuff fleshed out. But skills, classes, and some of the other stuff just isn't necessary. Theres a tonne of stuff that needs fixing as well before new stuff gets added eh :)

Date/Time: 23/05/12 1.30pm gmt What happened: In Back of hanger near wall. Zombie, hears me (even though creeping) and teleports through wall to attack me. Where you were: North Airfield North Hangar back corner. What you were doing: crouch / creeping, looting goods. *Current installed version: 1.5.8.2 *Server(s) you were on: EU17 *Your system specs: i5, 8gb ram, nvidia 560ti *Timeline of events before/after error: Crept past many zombies successfully only to be attacked by one through a wall. very frustrating. PS: This happens alot as i'm sure your aware. But this is the first time I've got annoyed enough to file a bug report. this building / zombie alert issue is my current worst bugbear.

I also find that in buildings I have to be MUCH more careful about noise if I'm high up, it almost feels like the noise detection is done in 2D not 3D and you can alert a zombie at street level even when you 3 stories up, the same as if you are right next to it.

There are some things in the game that reward working with others for a reason , this is one of them. If you are on your own grab some hunting gear and go get some cooked meat.

No totally against the spirit of the game. Sorry , not being hostile ;)

Gets a No from me , don't need another incentive for people to keep re-spawning. Oh don't like that perk ,suicide....

The difference being DayZ is actually good!

Yeah me too I've been a gamer since there have been computer games pretty much and this is a step up. And yes I'm aware its a mod for a game, I got Arma II when it came out and really wanted to love it but never really felt it. Its a great (if clunky) engine for this piece of genius though.

I believe the journal should be something you can read on a corpse but not take. But your own journal is always saved permanently so you can publish it elsewhere yourself if you want.

I agree slugs should be rare. I think there should be slightly less primary gun spawns overall as well.

People keep suggesting the same things not understanding that they will remove what makes this game so great, the distrust! If you spawn away from your friends half the challenge is meeting up with them again. I spent an hour yesterday meeting up with two friends, we eventually saw each other on the rail tracks, they were coming into Cherno to meet me. It was a great moment, then suddenly , they both got sniped by some bastard on a tower. It was heart wrenching! Amazing moments like that are what define DayZ, not "spawn by your mate , oh hai easy as pie" Friendly fire has to stay on all the time because you never know when someone will betray you. It always keeps you on edge, and you never know when your friend will panic in a Z fight and accidently shoot you.

The difficulty to get vehicles working is one of the driving forces behind the game, take that way and your losing the longevity. One thing I would say is that bleeding out needs to be more obvious, I keep missing the fact im bleeding when im busy Id like a much clearer alert for it.

Over-complicating.

I prefer the way it is now, not knowing and having to communicate your intentions is the basis of the whole games attraction. Seeing someone ALWAYS strikes fear into you. If you can manage to communicate and gain their trust you might team up, they might betray you. Being able to identify their faction at a glance removes some of that uncertainty. Which in most games would be good, but not this one.

Jorgy you appear to be a douche.

Bad idea. As spoon as you give people multiple characters it starts to dilute the importance of you character. You want to go off on your own , do it, then when your friends come back online meet up with them again. Everything in this game has risk / reward.
