INTRO i have played many of the top mmo's out there , starting with everquest . the well made ones survived and became groundwork for future mmo's the rest failed...alot of them failed. i enjoy building up my character and gearing him up with the best of the best . i am a hardcore raider , doing dungeon runs for gear and loot and staying with it till bosses are downed even if it took 5 hours on one boss. i enjoy looking at my character with all the shinies and purples and awesomeness. i love hard games and enjoy the time it takes to aquire the most precious of lootz. THE GOOD when i first played dayzmod it was the most amazing game i had played in a while . it literally blew my mind , it was genious . i told all my gamer friends about it and i myself spend countless hours ingame . it was hard to survive but i liked it , i dont like easy mode games . the first few weeks of playing the mod my hands would be sweaty from the adrenaline rush . when i heard they was going to make it into a standalone i was very excited for it , i wanted this game to succeed . i wanted everyone to know what dayz was and to play it. THE BAD no factions-- 1- as in all MMO'S its best to pick a side . you can be a lone wolf but eventually if you really want to get ahead in a game you would have to join a guild ( in a mmo) or team up with buddies you know in rl , but you always had a choice INGAME to join a side. This game does not have that option . an mmo wont work without factions , its just goona be all out chaos . now alot of the dayz players love this idea , alot of dayz players are lone wolfs and or get some rl friends and play , but a guy who just buys the game and doesnt know anyone is gonna be thrown into an extremely large world all by himself with no allies to look to or play with . while this is exciting at first it becomes old fast especially if the server is filled with jackasses. the grind--- 2- the way dayz mod was i thought was very good ,i thought it was hard . the fact that you had to have medical supplies and food supplies on you at all times was great . you had to do loot runs in order to keep your supply up . you had to find axes and matches and a knife and maps and compass in order to survive and navigate the world was genius idea. and even before you had all those things you could still navigate by the stars , very nice . but .. when i played standalone i see that things have been complicated even further...this is called GRIND. grind is a filler for LACK OF ENDGAME . in essence you complicate things further in order to create a timesink in the game because you need to keep your player base busy at something . i mean its not bad now but i read that they want to make medical more complex . it is allready complex by you having to spend time gatherthing supplies but now they want you to have to run around GRINDING all the parts to put toghether to make a pill that will cure one specific illness.. that gets old fast. some people like grinding even the most basic things, but only a small percentage of the playerbase . zombies are not my enemy--- 3- seriously i dont even pay attention to the zombies..i worry about the other players most. this is a zombie apocalyspe game you should be afraid of the zombies getting you primary and bandits secondary. zombies are just there as scenery posing little threat . in that case just get rid of the zombies and just have people killing each other and call it dayzarma2 no endgame 4- there is no endgame. there is no concrete direction . there is no lasting goal . you spawn ..aquire loot..get killed..respawn with loot gone..and the cycle begins anew. once you learn how to aquire your supplies in a quick manner this just becomes a PVP game . which is all fine and dandy . i love PVP . but im not a dick in real life and for the lack of endgame i have found myself being a dick to other players in dayz . killing newbie spawns for the hell of it, cause i was bored..fully equipped with shit to do . THERE IS NO GOAL....... THE UGLY i have seen great games made bad games by developers listening to crybabies complaining that the game is too hard. weirdly , i see this great game becoming a bad game because people complaining its too easy. dayzmod is not easy, and breaking up a blood bag into 10 pieces so you have to collect all 10 pieces to make one blood bag isnt making the game harder ( just an example). its making the game a grindfest..a timesink. i read a post where the developers are making a an option to lick a battery and something happens ...i loled at all the fanboys agreeing it was a good idea . then i saw the people who really care about the game saying why waste time on licking batteries when you should be concentrating on more important things ( which i agree with ) and the fanboys were all ripping the poster a new one . the poster was correct and it was good advice to the developers. every time i read a post where someone is saying something that although negative might be constructive to the game it gets flamed so much so that it will silence alot of people from posting good ideas on advancing the game and only the " yes mr rocket " posts will be seen and heard all the the detriment of the developers of this game . THE END so my contribution to the developement will be this . Dayz as it was in the mod was great allready . besides making the game into a standalone version of the mod there really wasnt too much you had to do . fix the loot target window was my only real problem with the game . but to make it a game that will flourish you need to add a couple things. 1-factions - when loggin in to create new character have a choice of side you want to play in . for example....survivor they wear blue vests...bandit they wear red vests . you can kill people of your same faction but you will get a heavy penalty if you keep doing it ...lets say something like "outcast" so when people see you whatever their faction they are in see you as an outcast and traitor and your KOS and the faction you was outcast from can kill you with no penalty. this will make the game more playable and group friendly , if your a lone wolf fine..you see someone in the distance wearing a blue vest you can relax..hes a friendly...but you still gotta be on your guard just in case. this will also minimize the jerks ( like i was a few times do to boredom ) from just randomly killing you for your tshirt 2-sandbox elements - making a campfire is fine and dandy but you need to create a goal that is at least semi lasting . create towns you and your buddies can take over and make it their own . you can camp a town as is now but its just superficial . you need to have elements in the game where you can take the town over and make it your own AS PART OF THE GAME . be able to hook the town up ..fill the supermarket ... set up a garage to fix cars...build an armory to hold weapons or a gun shop ....stuff like that . make it so other players cant steal your stuff in your town if noone is online ( like the tent in dayzmod ). you need to build on the sandbox element that this game promotes . 3-dont get too grindy- alot of good mmos (which is what this game has been taouted as its goal ) have tanked because they just became a grindfest . from my pov the game was good as is as it was in the dayzmod . 4- 3rd party addons - i have never played a game with the starting ui and people prefer to use 3rd party addons in their game . they can pick what they want be it different ui setups or hud display setups the list is endless. open the game up to 3rd party addon developers will save you time by not having to spend time improving the game ui . just a basic one will do till then . 5- zombie threat - zombies must be the number one threat in the game. if i spend 2 hours gathering supplies only to be killed by a horde of zombies its ok and good fun....if i spend 2 hours gathering supplies only to be killed by a bandit whos sitting on a hilltop spawn camping thats not fun . granted you will keep your dedicated niche playerbase who love abuse but you will start bleeding alot of players because of the inbalance of the game mechanics PS... It seems from what i have read that the developer named "rocket" is an honest guy and seems to be a good guy which is why i bought the alpha to contribute to the games developement . ( i bought it ...my mommy and daddy didnt buy it ) . but it seems that the majority of the people posting on these forums are just yessirs and fanboys who would say "great idea " to adding an autographed dildo sign rocket to their inventory and i would suggest to the developers ( by developers i mean rocket and his team but i dont call him rocket because we dont drink beers toghether ) to take into notice the people who have what may seem negative things to say about the game as it is and the road that it might seem like its going . we might care more about the game than the fanboys because we at least give you pause to think . all in all its a great idea for a game game but if the goal of this game is just a all outkill fest with no bounds this will just be a niche game played by a small percentage of the gaming playerbase compared to what it could be...

alot of these guys crying foul i believe have little to no gaming experience , 4 pages explaning to someone that mmo doesnt need to be rpg.

lol

fanboy will fanboy

dont be naive... a game takes money , its a bussiness . it wont survive as a niche . they will put in micro transactions or some way to make money . they gotta keep the money flow going ... they have to make the game popular TO A LARGER PLAYERBASE TO MAKE MONEY...

if its like that then yes i agree good idea on the sewing kit

its a good idea..same as fixing your broken armour .. but i think its kinda useless given the fact that you dont survive that long in this game and the clothing is purely aesthetic , it doesnt add any bonuses to your character. now if you could like sow a shirt then yea ..i guess

its not grinding at all ...its very enjoyable... but i can get grindy thats what i was pointing out..it can get grindy if you substitute grinding for content . in a game that your survival rate is an hour or so having to make a blood bag by collecting dna samples is not fun . i have to collect 3 items to make one workable item ok i collected 2 o shit im dead ok ill go back to my body and get the loot aww shit i spawned on the other side of the map...wtf start all over blood bags worked great....................

im here to critique the game..thats what alpha is about . im getting the feeling alot of you guys are teens by the way you dont seem to comprehend what i wrote . for example let me elaborate. in dayz you can build a campire and make a camp . i thinnk ( my suggestion to developers ) is that they expand on that "sandbox" element thats there allreay in the game { building a camp with a campfire in other words making a temporary home for yourself and others which is what a sandbox game includes) by giving you the tools and option to build your own little town for you and your buddies or by allowing you to take an allready existing town and being able to modify it so that it becomes a working town ( much like the governor did in the walking dead for example ) . i hope this is clear enough . this will be considered an ENDGAME.. something to achieve and hold on to...something with meaning not just a random kill fest . this game is huge..you can create a little town out in the boondocks in the middle of the woods . if the game was small then i would say no , but its huge . you can run a long time and see nothing

well i beta tested elder scrolls online and i will be playing that come april ... i will also be playing dayz sa as it develops . those are the 2 games i have in my playbook atm . i look forward to shooting all you fanboys in da cock ingame.

you see this guy ..on my other thread he does the same thing. its why i call him a fanboy. no matter what he says its " ok...learn to play " but the bleeding is broken...you shouldnt bleed from a hit from a zombie attack like that . they should make bleeding something like the percentage of your health then you start to bleed .

your right man..wtf.... im outta this thread. mods please delete

when exactly did i say i hated the game? lol you people where you getting these things from

dont tell me dayz is not a game for me..who are you to tell me that? you pay for my game? my computer? i have played dayzmod since day one . im not a poster on forums i like to browse them from time to time. yes there are factions in those games cause i have played them all cept eve. dont make me kist them . can you guild up in those games? yes you can cause i have raided hardcore in all of them.. can you guild up in dayz? no you cant..not ingame

come on..you serious? other than the fact that you dont need to dload arma to play it ,its the same game

ill take that advice..thanks

it doesnt take away from the fact that dayzmod is better than the standalone ....as of now. to me it seems like they are working backwards. its not my opinion only but alot of people i know who play it say so also. i just posted to give the developers a heads up.which is what a tester is suppose to do . as far as reading comp thing goes. if someone says i said something that i did not say and has a hard copy of it in front of his face then he has a reading comprehension . i did not introduce the negativity in this post i got flamed by a few people with no constructive critisism on their part just calling em names... to those people i responded likewise cause im not a sucker. the rest responded to my post by disagreeing which is fine , thats what forums are for . and a couple agreed with some of my points and not with others. i at no time attacked anyone who disagreed with me , i attacked those who attacked me on a forum. as in real life if you step to me ill step to you, if you want to have a beer with me ill have a beer with you. dont insult me because i defended myself

thank you...i want whats best for this game...in my opinion. the developers will decide what is and what isnt but i put my input on the game . great game.. but needs more to make it mainstream

reading comprehension problem again i see with you too.. if you carefully read my post you will see that my problem wasnt with disagreement..my problem was that everyone agrees wholeheartily with every idea the developers and when someone doesnt he gets bashed..as i am getting bashed now to prove my point. i said i read a post where battery licking was implemented and one person thought it was silly and he got bashed for it.. do you not think battery licking being implemented is silly at an alpha stage game? the people who have good ideas about the FUTURE ( i know its an alpha) OF THIS GAME GET BASHED..was the ending point to my post

im sure you would act better than i did under similar circumstances..

i insult people who insult me...i have no problem with disagreeing with me.... reread his post towards me

lol...ok kid. this time next year rocket will be driving a bently you still be in your mommys basement.

well im not a forum lurker like you. i posted my one and only thread as my suggestions to the developers of the game to contribute my ideas to them. what i thought so far about the game and what i think would be an improvement. i also added a sidenote to those people who would like to post their opinions about the game but are afraid of people like you who lurk the forums and bash anything that goes contrary . you are sided witht he developers i see. me..as a paying customer i dont take any developer at their words because they at the end of the day are in it for the money . my hard earned money i throw at any game i see fit to play. if i dont like it i dont spend my money on it . maybe you have your moomy and daddy giving you allowance but i work for mine and therefore entitled to and opinion. forum trolls like you are bad and i have browsed many a gane forums and always see people like you. to everyone else who want to say something but are afraid because of forum trolls...dont be scared to voice your opinion

so if not all open world games are sandboxes doesnt that mean some are sandboxes ? i want to call you a moron but i wont ..im better than that
