Yeah, to be honest they really did an oopsie calling this 1.0, it was a bad marketing strategy and made it seem like cash grab. I dont know how long it takes for dayz team to implement the stuff they had earlier, like more vehicles etc. But they shouldn't have called this 1.0, seemed like a purposeful deathblow to the title.

I agree the steam stats look a little bleak. The game is no PUBG for sure, but I would say that its getting healthier compared to last year. Maybe if the devs sort out some of the game breaking, rage quitting bugs like vehicles that fly if wheels are missing etc. it will stabilize. You will never see 50.000 players online on dayz anymore, that time has long passed. I do hope that dayz team manages to retain a loyal playerbase. I had the most fun I ever had on dayz SA the last two months. Community servers with dedicated communities are key to having fun in this game imo. Also mods that fix game balance flaws that devs refuse to realize are present, like base building that is completely useless on official servers etc.

Building bases is only fun on community servers with DisableBaseDestruction...

Maybe if you sorted by player count instead of ping you would get a more honest image of how many players there are. Empty servers usually have great ping 😉 https://imgur.com/a/3afG6QE

I have wondered about this too, there already is a civilian skinned helicopter in arma: Mi17_Civilian http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/File:Arma2_mi17_civ.jpg

Making all game logic run server side has already been confirmed: http://dayzdev.tumbl...y-it-is-it-isnt This will not only increase client performance but eliminate script-cheats like teleporting all players, turning players into goats, spawn of weapons, vehicles etc. and probably make stuff like fixing duplication glitches etc a LOT easier. One thing i really hope for is that the team considers not sending vehicle/tent/player position unless the player is within a certain range of the object, simply to prevent ESP hacks totally! When a buddy of mine started using ESP hacks, the game was really ruined for me and i haven't really played since, because: A. Surviving is LAME if you know where all players / vehicles are located B. It was obvious that eventhough I played on dayzRP a self-proclaimed no cheat private hive, there were ESP hackers everywhere.

For the love of god, be DESCRIPTIVE in the thread title.

I will miss the debug monitor, it helped keeping track of blood/health and it IS very rewarding to see a 700zombie kill count (for me at least)

It should be harder, and zombies should IMO run faster!!! As it is right now, as long as your are running, the zeds will never get to you, then run into a building, or through some bushes, make a sharp turn, and voila, zombies is de-agro'ed..

Just run like hell, most spawn snipers are terrible anyways. I don't get the fuss about those spawn snipers, its not like you loose days of progress, you just spawned! But then again, i don't know how big a problem it is, since i don't hangaround cherno and haven't respawned for two weeks.

Maybe there should be a stickied known bugs list somewhere? All this time, i thought someone kept stealing my vehicles. I have had about 2 PBX, 5 ATVs and a few cars, but i can't seem to keep them for more than a day.

Maybe i have taken permanent damage from all the OSS i work with, I dunno. (Well not really, since I NEVER SUGGESTED IT GOING OPEN SOURCE.. again, WHY WONT IT READ??!?) To be honest i don't see anything wrong in wanting to participate in making a mod, I mean i can't be the only one in a million who actually considered offering him a hand? Mods are supposed to be user driven (Well no one is to judge that really, but mods usually depends ALOT on the userbase volounteers etc.), im not suggesting that anyone could simply push a change to the repository, im suggesting maybe getting a little more volounteers since rocket is obviously busy (and with good reason, PR is not bad, not bad at all)! You have to agree that it has been a little stale since the last update, and im certainly not blaming anyone.

Please re read my post. I am more or less asking to suck the rocket and work on the mod, but i KNOW that there are more talented people than me outthere, so i havent signed up.. I mean i have made some mods for arma for the sheer laugh, but i KNOW that there must be someone better than me, besides i work 40 hours a week, plus personal/friends projects. Maybe you are the man who is up for that? Since your glorious development e-penis is raging red and 12feet tall and you feel that my abilities as a codemonkey, squishing bugs is somewhat insufficient to yours.

Katniss you are totally missing the point of my posts. Dayz will be handed to the community when the game goes standalone, so that is not much of a help to the situation as is. Of course i will make comments about your attentionspan when you don't even read posts. Leave my mom out of this kid!

No im simply stating that there is no point in lecturing me about software development. I am not talking down to anyone, but you sure seem to enjoy doing so, so i will let you have that pleasure. You seem to be waving your tiny e-peen the most i'd say since you by your statements are superior to me. I was talking about IDEALS and how i WOULD have handled it, and you proceed to talk down to me. Jesus christ what is it with you people. Now PLEASE! Have some beans and go shove them up your ass and go circle jerking with the others who obviously are just here to troll and feel superior.
