Maybe force feed you some rotton food. lol. But until they implement some other things to do say vehicles, it is pointless to stay north after gearing up. All this server hopping, ghosting, combat logging players ruin the military areas. I try to go with the "spirit of the game" and head south for some interactions. DrunknesMonster

The vehicles will force you to stay on one server, when they will be activated.

Are you serious? All this time wondering how I'm going to find all the map pieces, and they're laying in vehicles that I walk past all the time. Damn I'm going to pay a lot more attention to cars now.

The only problem I have with 1st person mode is when driving/flying vehicles.. I have no problem running around in 1st person (assuming everyone was doing the same) when on foot.. but to properly fly a heli or drive decently in a car/truck, third person seems almost necessary.

people use to run medical threads, but with no vehicles at the moment its quite hard to get there hero skin was the advantage of helping othere (not that i agree liked or want it back)

No... The best would be to not let admins disable the cycle at all, and then adjust the cycle to fit locally +/- a few hours at admins' discretion, letting everyone play on equal terms. E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E... That way, you'd see day/evening in your own respective prime time, AND you'd encourage people to play in their own respective time zones, which would get rid of the growing segment of risk averse t*rds who deliberately play on high ping servers to give them an extra seconds' time to pull the plug if someone in their immediate vicinity as much as sneezes. As for the whole thing with unemployment/lifers/no-lifers, please explain to me why ANYONE's itinerary should affect game development. The game has night time in it, because people are MEANT to deal with it. If you can't or if you just want insta action, go play something that will offer you that. If you don't have time to play the game, the way its intended, don't play it. You don't see me picking up chess and whinging at my opponent winning by default, when I suddenly get up and leave to go have dinner or drag my ass to school, do you? It may be harsh - but that's what (was) great about Day Z. Circumstances out of your control that has to be dealt with - be it harsh weather, darkness, light, disease, fatigue, bandits or zombies. Instead, we're gonna get (yet another) hellhole of everyone running custom servers with CLEARSKIES/CLEARDAYZ/OMGDAYLIGHT/SPAWN-WITH-DMR-UNL-AMMO/+Selfbloodbag/GODMODE/2K+ VEHICLES settings. To be honest, I'm surprised noone has thought of removing the zombies entirely from their servers either - but then again, it's hard to be badass just playing playing Farmville...

Ho ho ho there, I'm looking to do some casual medical work during the holidays. Fixing broken limbs, treating infections and sickness, blood and saline infusions. If you're stricken with an urgent case of greyscale vision, constant coughing and moaning or you're sure the reason you can't get up isn't a hangover but perhaps that shinbone sticking out your trouser leg, send me a note on Steam (http://steamcommunity.com/id/3365968/) and if I'm online and not too busy I might be able to help you. Call now and for only 6 convenient payments as low as 19.95 you can... kidding. First patients get a free gift can opener though (offer valid while stocks last). Please note that depending on demand and with the lack of vehicles in the game it's probably going to take quite a while to reach you though. Also note that I generally don't like going to PvP hotspots so don't expect me to drag you out of the NWAF air control tower. The same is true for people who just spawned off the coast, got clobbered by a screaming naked axeman and have nothing to lose by respawning. But if you've been surviving for a while, are proud of what you achieved so far and got yourself into a pickle, then I'd like to help you out. I know it's somewhat futile in this stage of the SA with rampant KOS, spontaneous character resets and possible wipes around every corner but I still prefer using disinfectant to sterilize syringes rather than the insides of throats and stomachs.

It is obvious to me that you shouldn't have purchased this Alpha, you have not read any part of the forums at all, so let me highlight what has been said and why ignorant people like you will bring this community down before it begins: 1. Rocket said dont buy the game (yet) 2. A forum post by a staff member highlighted that, there is low zombie spawns and loot spawns, that zombies no clip, that zombies hit through floors, that there aren't vehicles yet, that some items wont work, that some features wont work. 3. It's a PRE Alpha, that's not even an Alpha. If you ask me the game was pushed out because the community wanted it to be, now people like you are putting pointless forum posts like this. This is not WarZ so don't mention it. Moving forward from your experience: Read the forum posts by the staff before purchasing or playing this game. Understand what a pre Alpha is, an Alpha and what a Beta and finally a full released game. Once you understand these things, THEN and ONLY THEN should you even think about playing this game, till then.. Shelf it.

No vehicles, minimal/random/unbalanced loot, low players per server.. hunger/thirst, dodgy game mechanics.. poor performance.. pretty much all the things disappointing you so far is due to the game being in Alpha. A severely unfinished, buggy game being actively developed and were invited along for the ride. You appear to have fallen into the Alpha trap. Hype most likely got the better of you, as it almost did myself. I took the choice to wait a few more months and just keep eye on progress through watching vids and streams, yep its boring and man I really want to play! but like you I want to spare myself any disappointment, so will wait a little while to see how things pan out :)

I just wanted to suggest exactly the same thing... I will just post my opinion to this topic here, ofc dont want to create a new thread: Nerf Balota hard -> Balota has 3 military buildings, 2 hangars, 3 barracks and a whole military camp... and its on the coast... and its even a spawn for new players... Its just overpowerd because newly spawned players can gear up so fast. Ive seen videos where ppl are fully equipped with totaly modded M4, military clothes backpack and vest, big backpack, food and drinks... and they got all that stuff from looting balota like 2 or 3 times. If this is possible on the coast, who would go to the north then?? Distribute loot better -> I think at the coast there should be almost no military loot but a good amount of melee and some civilian shooting weapons and also about the amount of food and drinks the newly spawned players need to survive. If you go further north there should be more and better military and maybe even civilian loot (when vehicles are in for example a much higher chance for car-repair stuff) but less food and drinks. All this should in-/decrease more when you go further north so you have to get your stuff not only from looting but also from what nature gives you. Summary: Coast only simple loot (because big civilian cities), further north less civilian (mostly small villages) but more and better military (military bases, airstrips) Beans for thread! :beans:

No it really shouldn't. If you have it as an option, all the servers turn it on and you get the same problem we had in the mod. Server owners want players so they have to make things as easy as possible to get more people in. And you end up with 3rd person, 24/7 daylight 10,000 vehicles. It needs to just be off.

Third person would be completely fine for vehicles only. It's unlikely someone will get in a vehicle then move said vehicle behind cover just to peek over corners. For infantry however REMOVE it.

Hello Guys/Ladies i would like to show you my new and first Epoch Server. IP: 178.63.2.152 Port: 2302 Name: Just filter "Zombie Heaven" What could you expect from it? - Better Graphics (custom PP Effects) - Sarge AI Side Missions - Refuel Script - Custom Loot Places - 700+ Vehicles ect So feel free to join and have a nice time with us. Regards Berliner19

Before removing third person they need to polish first person mode a bit. Im waiting until vehicles are added, in the mod when riding a bike for example, your view in first person bounced up and down like crazy due the stiffness of the character. If they fix details like this first person will be a more enjoyable experience overall.

Your an idiot..... All it would do is make a whole lot of people stop playing..... And a whole lot of potential buyers put their wallets back in their pockets..... Control it on at the server level... Separate Hives ( if your that bloody sooky about it ) and be done with it.... So bloody tired of these same old pointless around-in-circles conversations.... same thing with KoS, same thing with the .50's, the vehicles and loot tables.... Stop trying to FORCE your style of play onto everyone else.....

Only found 1 mosin since release. Though will start going thru vehicles. Not found a weapon yet that isnt working, amazed that people have such problems (feeling lucky). Any hints on the long range scope?

I'd love to see water pumps/wells come in various conditions that could be repaired by organized players. Randomly working pumps would also add an additional level of difficulty. Acquiring the various components to repair the pump would be the first step in any type of potential base building that may come. Similar to how vehicles were repaired in the mod, water pumps could require a number of parts or maintenance to get/keep them in functioning order. A repaired pump could also be damaged or destroyed. There could also be different types of makeshift pumps with various outputs. An electric pump and a car battery could be one of many potential crafting options.

There was actually some interesting mod work done recently regarding line of sight and third person. Here it is: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=23768 Personally though I think the mod is more trouble than its worth mostly due to the fact that it is hard to handle cases like interaction with objects and what type of objects should show up and which shouldn't when LoS is broken (the creator did some interesting things with vehicles that I don't necessarily agree with).

KOS isn't something we can erase. More loot: Just the more reason to kill you, I want the shit you have Vehicles: If i have one you bet your ass I'm going to defend it If i don't have one ill gun that guy that has one one More zombies: Find something more irrelevant. Zombies never have and never will be a threat, just dance around them and thats it Damaged gear: I have all the gear i would want, the reason I'm killing you is because I have nothing to do with that gear. Remember there is 2 things to do in dayz 1) get loot 2) kill people Once I have loot what do you want me to do with it? pve is just a pathetic idea

Public hive is horrible Private hives 24/7| max loot| 100000000 vehicles| slef blood bag| never die is worse

Ok i think i get it when u say that the map is fine, my problem with it is i feel like every1 just play around the coast, and the airport near bolota... i feel theres no point in going anywhere else because i will feel alone just walking around since towns all look the same, and once u loot an airport, i go past towns with no need at all to search for stuff.. also they nothing xD Maybe with 100/100 server and vehicles the map size will feel alot better, yet i wish for some diversity on town looks. I once wasted 1hour on a big city to find almost nothing, when i can just go to the same airport as always and find everything i need

I'd like to see lots of civilian ground vehicles and unarmed/unarmored military vehicles as long as passengers can shoot out of all vehicles with our handheld personal weapons. Vehicle mounted machineguns on jeeps, pickups (technicals) should require crafting like: pedestal+mount+ammo can+beltfed mg+ wrench+vechicle= vechicle mounted weapon.

dayz vet eh? prepare for a little disapointment with the lack of vehicles and tents that will hopefully be released soon

Can you open the cabinets or fridges in houses? Answer: As far as i know you cannot open or access them, even though it makes complete sense. This may be added later in the game. Will cars and trucks or any other vehicles be added to the final game? Answer: Yea defiantly, even planes helicopters etc Is there any other features that are not in the alpha that will be there later? Answer: There are countless features yet to be added to this game, they just need time to focus on the hacking problems first, combat logging and so on. Things that may be added: Ability to build your own base etc anyone else please feel free to add. (Massive list) Will the system requirements change down the road when other things get implemented? Answer: From a logical point of view, when they add more things to the game it will require more Pc power however given enough time they can optimize certain setting etc and make the game run better than at alpha.
