What about cannibalism? Can we able to eat bodies and get some type of sickness after a while, i.e you'll be well fed but will have also shock effects or negative physical effects like constant shaking on hands. I still remember the scene of The Walking Dead Game, poor lad was eatan on dinner table.

True point about player death , but they can make AI Bots to do that as well, so can actually test all ballistics. You'll have different branches anyway also, so still can test stuff in full PVP servers. Prime example "Rust"has both PVE/PVP (won't cause a big issue having at least few multiple servers in alpha as long as hive of the PVE will be different than PVP hive.

See another reply actually leads to a good point. Why on earth there are no PVE only servers just to test environment and physics. You can also have a Fire Range to test weapons all sorts to give feedback and fix any potential bugs. But No No No , you have to test the game for a second or 10 minutes before getting shot at. Well i think it's a great idea and would speed up the feedback process and makes it more clean and organized to test all the stuff. Wonder DayZ Dev Team thought of that?

I can just laugh at you!.Because the only reason you think am german, is due to Server location. And also what's with this Nationalism, it's like coming from racist mind lol. Germany/Frankfurt has great data centers and networking hub for West Europe, hence why we are choosing that location for most of our servers. Also London was getting heavy DDOS attacks lately. But hey, you have no interest other than picking on Nation or Race haha.

I woud like to see new stuff completely new even it's gamebreaking and has bugs, it doesn't matter, already game has bugs and now it looks like "worse than" other DayZ Mod (other than better graphics and few good physics unless you play ARMA 3 DayZ mod (different varient). Why spending time on testing some stuff that even not match with other old DayZ mod and still has loads of bugs? Throw the full branch and let us see the features other than watching interviews on Youtube or Dev Blog, at least we can clearly be sure where the game is going or if you have the template for it. There can be 3 branches Stable/Experimental/Full Dev Branch anyway.

So wasting resources on Gas Mask is ok but not for zombies which is the core? Hahaha, check the updates, mostly cosmetic fixes and additions. Or wait "Heart Attack" feature, wasting resources for it but not for loot fix. Wasting resources on adding new varients of Helms is ok, but No pls do not fix players glitching through buildings or improve anti-cheat or hive sync issues. If you ever play ARMA you'll know any modder can create new skin of clothes around,Go play Life mod, Wasteland or any other DayZ Mod, We are on DAYZ SA so Where are the core features in updates ? Oh wait wait, you just want to have candy bars...

If there will be better zombies (totally new system will be placed), I'll say "Great" . Till then, i can't understand why they can't be fixed even if they are placeholders. Not only zombies can glitch through buildings, also players. Are all the buildings and mechanics also a placeholder? If so, why we are testing some stuff that won't be in end game? Why not they adding vehicles/tents as well then as a placeholder from previous mod, why loot spawn does not get fixed? How come they can stress test the server and whole performance client/server side without smashing more stuff around. Right it's in process and there is a Dev progress step by step, fair enough (Turtle speed) but i see not a lot of difference and dramatically better gameplay than other DayZ mods. Watched the interview of Dean and it's great what he has in his mind, but doubt that We will see those coming at the end of this year with turtle Dev speed.So instead of cheerleading, need to tap the foot and say "Come on already get serious, stop giving candy bars around." I see same kind a people in COD Community whom gone crazy of little brainwashing tools and features, yet the game was going into wrong direction and destroyed its prestige (IW series after COD4). Same for WaRZ, seen loads happy faces on forums and what happened at the end? Some guys are easily getting hyped here.

Wow wow wow look what you've just said , it's perfect. I still think my formatting is better than the whole DayZ formatting. Grow some balls and admit the fact that the game has no early future fix. We all gonna end up playing against glitchy zombies runing through the buildings and guys glitching in prision barracks. Do you know, why? Just as you've said, not only my formatting crap but also the game's. At least I don't charge you for reading my replies Mr.Smartypants forum dude. :) And don't forget, it's early access alpha forums so my formatting is in early alpha as well , so we'll eventually fix it sooner in 2016. I love the guys who tries pretending as someone's advocate and being totally hypocrite. Masks were clipping through helmets, for example you could wear a gas mask and a motorbike helmet. Gas mask was also clipping through ballistic helmets. So their decision is a good thing imo. It would be nice if they introduced a new gas mask that would work with helmets such as the GP5. That is the problem, (it wasn't an issue for Ballistic Helm though but some others, especially other hats.) That is the reason I've asked, Is it actually too complicated to fix the ones not working instead of full removal or limitation. If you can't even solve one issue without removing the whole feature, then god help them with other million chain of bugs. And why is so imporant atm since there are loads of other really important core bugs and features are missing. This is just pretending like " We're fixing things" Oh Which one? A GAS MASK ONE with hats!!!! And community goes like 7 years old kids were given candy bar , "WE LOVE YOU,"" it's fantastic...wohoo" Well, freedom of choice anyway has to respect those as well. Wish my missus was like them, would be much more less headache .

I can understand the Moto Bike helmet but others don't make sense. You can actually wear a mask with them because they have no visor at all. Who is the smartest guy ova there decided on this? IQ check again pls. Even the pilot helm hasn't got a switchable visor. So no point...Just a cheap limitation and if you are limiting all ,then means you can't do it one by one. Lack of dev skill or it is really that complicated? ...I'm amazed of the failure. Also when there will be a fix for Payday Masks ? Coz they look very stupid when you wear them with cowboy hats and berets. When there will be loot spawn fix and more zombies also wildlife and vehicles...? Coz these are only the important cores of post apocalyptic zombie survival game. 2015 or 2016? I'm a honest guy, so I'll be the bad one, you'll hate me, but all these updates are just nothing at all. Keep it up anyway as we're doomed already so who cares.

Problem anti-cheat security is at its worst for this game, you have loads of scripters,cheaters coming in with esp or other stuff. Atm you have no chance to see the server logs as well or get player's GUIDs and such. Just Because some people think they are smart and enforcing the community with lack of hosting features and admin access. Then If you are too smart then pls do something to stop cheaters ,increase your security and host your own DAYZ SA servers as Bohemia Interactive and admin it own your own. All clans out there and all Admins paying money for a server, paid money for a game but they have nothnig to control or even scan. None can stop cheaters atm or even check for it, and want from us play the game , spend the money on servers .. I mean in a serious mind , where is the god damn proffesionalism at this? Now all we want from Bohemia Interactive is, man up be more proffesional , show more respect to costumers or I tell Putin to send Russian ARMY in Czech Republic as well. Seriously, this ain't right, common sense a bit.

Go to Elektro or Cherno and stand still for 15 sec. Then you can find some more things to do again.

Look, When you buy a smoke it writes "Smoking kills" on it and you still buy it. (Majority of smokers do it anyway). Marketing works like that way because of addiction and curiosity plays big part in Human Nature. So What you are saying does no value in reality. Also People can give negative and positive feedback as there is a freedom of speech, dunno Where do you live? Afghan or UAE?

Back in Days "Honest" Devs and Publishers wouldn't charge you for freaking TEST un-finished products. This is just a marketing fooling for fools like all of us, Get the money first ,do the job later and call it a TEST LMFAO. Could understand what you're saying if that was made by some new starter Publisher but Bohemia Interactive behind DAYZ SA. They can't be that pathetic or short in money to release an ALPHA/Beta without charging ? or Were they? This ain't a kickstarter independent project so everyone can give negative feedback as much as positive feedback rely on facts.

Why NO Hands Only CPR Animation (and feature) not included? Like in ARMA 3? or like cool as hell in this Video by the Legend himself? Game needs more proper animations really for medical actions.

Don't think Wall/Floor Glitch will ever be fixed as it never got fixed in ARMA 2 lol. They prolly don't have any technical solution for that. It needs 2014's PC technology but DayZ uses 1990's seems like it. :beans: :P :P :P :P :P :) :D :D

So we can create campfire now? Do we need heatpacks to recover body temperature? Will heatpacks be implemented with this? Does "Wet" satus will effect the health condition/body temperature? Or just another cosmetic for a while? What about server side performance and stability improvements? And Camping Tents? How far we are away from getting at least a dirtbike or even bicycle? or even scooter? Don't know If you devs actually tried runing around the whole map and calculate the time loss? Also will there be more military base added East/North East side of the map? So people can stop clusterf...k camping Cherno/SW Airfield/West side of he map and can equally spread around the map. Thanks,

@Reef_UK You are such a troll fan boy. Developer: Bohemia Interactive Publisher: Bohemia Interactive and Project Lead Dean Hall. Who needs to ask for budget for his project = Whoever is the project lead. Lets check current early access new post apocalyptic zombie survival games, For example Nether (Game not a Mod) not even AAA Game but has better Dev speed than Whole glorious Bohemia. (Same for ARMA 3, turtle dev speed and 50% of the game is buggy as hell) ARMA 2 is still buggy as hell. Only impression am getting this whole company is greedy as hell along with their tittle "Best mil-sim game developer and publisher" Which is true. They are also lucky coz they have a great mod community ,else their vanilla game is boring as hell. Just their great mil-sim engine (with bugs) still best around keeping them on their toes. Well seems better roll on for The Divison and Dying Light anyways...

Doesn't even make sense with what I've said. He acts like a MOD Dev instead of a proffesional Game Dev. Investing more into development is a must., that is the whole point. DayZ Standalone Game or a Mod? You tell me.

He should have released servers and pay them from own his own pocket so people can test the incoming branches before goes on live for everyone. You have 1 million and over copies here and not any game needs 1 million people for testing crap all the time. That is very ametur and he needs to get this right, this ain't a mod anymore and actually a game. (Still looks like a mod) Which shows he hasn't invested into development as much as enough to cover the workload. I can understand all the Alpha bugs and such but dev speed and terrible branches and hotfixes ain't right at all.

Well i think stable branches needs more testing before going live. Same for hotfixes, fixes something but breaks 50 things. Smells another Hotfix inbound following monday or sunday? or a week pain till Wednesday. Updates and fixes should not break the game or make it go backwards really ,eventhough is alpha there is no excuse. Get your fingers out of your ..... lads. Sold over 1 million and should invest more on development,no excuse on that as well. There are people works hard and risks their life for little amount of money , am an ex soldier and would not even achive that amount like you did for 100 years. Common sense, show your respect and invest more in your project.

Any reason why servers run 115077 instead of 11588? Problem with Steam update "server side" and this causing server crashes ?

On official server m8, you should have check Office/School buidlings and Military bases . Loads of em laying down there.

Hardcore/Regular difficulty should stay as it is now, On the other hand Third person is good overall for cosmetics ,what is the point of all items/cosmetics and customization of a character if you can't see it? 3RD person just needs some view adjustments that should not allow you to see over walls or around corners, thats all.

Great point mate, it would be perfect pve aspect for the game and would make the books useful than just reading and getting shot while reading them.

I agree what you're saying but atm it has almost nothing at all due to loot re-spawning not working properly maybe. Still need a touch a bit to balance. Atm it's way low and all populated servers need multiple time restarts to keep the balance. Finding weapons is easier than finding foods so there is a sign of a problem as there is no wildlife atm. People only camp around military bases now and none trying to fight for food/drink to survive because there is no target or point for that. If supermarket spawn slightly more loot then there will be some reason for people to go there or stop others to go there and loot . This can spread the player numbers more equally around the map instead of South/South West camping Whole day.
