One simple reason, you should not have to "level up" any skills to do anything in game, its not an RPG. What will happen when you die and cant do anything again? Take repairing vehicles for example, if we needed some skills, aka levels, to do this, nobody would be able to do it, because people die all the time lol. This is not an RPG, so no xp, no levels, no skills please :) And please dont use the "we can do it on another server" argument, thats exactly what killed the entire mod off and split the community completely. That is why Rocket is very hesitant to give people the option to mod and have private server, like the mod had, and im betting he has a different version of private servers in mind :) Lol... MMO = Massive Multiplayer Online So if its not a MMO, just what the f*** is it mate? Its massive, its multiplayer ONLY and its online ONLY :) Sounds like a MMO to me lol, but just remember its not a MMO-RPG :) More like MMO-Survival.

True not a giant truck like that, but try to put a couple of tons of sheet metal on a VAS, or any of the other small soviet vehicles, and see what happens to it hehe.

Good thing he is adding shit to an unfinished game that has no value or use in game besides for being a unique and special snowflake instead of fixing things such as oh you know, Combat logging,Server hopping,Zombies no cliping through buildings,Vehicles,guns,More items that actually do something besides pain your gun pink. you keep buying the whole " hurrr durr its alpha he's allowed to do that" just because its an unfinished game doesnt mean he should skip all the basic fundamentals of the game such as being able to store gear

For the DayZ mod or standalone? Because you cannot spawn in vehicles or gear, and it is his server he has the right to kick anyone anytime. He's just a sore loser, don't go back to that server than.

So glad rocket is adding Important things to the game that make a huge game breaking change instead of little things that isn't needed because that would be silly. Seriously why bother adding trivial things such as spray paint. Ok cool,i understand making home made bombs which is a pretty cool thing to be able to makeshift bombs,Ammo and weapons in general but why not work on shit that actually builds a community and allows people to actually enjoy the game such as you know hmmmm maybe adding ways to store items you know those normally pointy/dome shaped things that you camp in. Spray paint : Change your Nagant from perfect wood to pink : Purpose = Show you're retarded and should never own a vintage gun in real life. Storage : Store items and give people purpose going north and scavenging gear and being able to save items, Lowering people killing noobies on the shore, more threats in land. Honestly there is no reason to play this game at the moment besides for playing with a few friends " Which still has no real Longevity to the game", Killing fresh spawns for shits and giggles because lets face it why go in land when you can get pimped at Bolota and have no way to store gear inland. And or im sure a lot of peoples favourite Stream Sniping. While yes this is an alpha you have to remember that this game took 2 years to make and it has probably 15% more things than ArmA 2 DayZ, "While this part i am not entirely 100% on" People say it is a Modified ArmA 2 Engine Or ArmA 3 engine. As a paying customer i have every right to bitch about a game as you don't go to a restaurant order a medium rare steak and get a well done one and not have the right to complain. Which that said i enjoy the game as a whole and it shows much promise with the rate of patches and content but why do we get half arsed patches with content that impacts the game very little to not at all, Spray painting guns sure but how about adding stuff such as vehicles, tents, more than 2 guns. TL:DR Stop praising rocket for doing half arsed patches with little to no real impact on the game if you keep doing this you are saying to rocket " Yes we enjoy no real content, Please give me more useless shit".

I've seen so many different opinions of what would make DayZ a perfect survival game, that the best solution might be making everything optional? And by that I mean giving servers the ability to adjust (when restarted): + Health of players + Amount of zombies + Speed of zombies + Health of zombies + FOV (and field of hear(?)) of zombies + Amount of loot + Spawn rate of loot + Type of loot (amount of military loot, amount of firearms equipment overall, amount of food, vehicles etc.) + Day/Night cycle + Etc. (?) These could all be visible and filtered when searching for a suitable server. So instead of bothering the developers with balance issues, why not let the server admins do it?

Vehicle overhaul? Dude, there ARE NO VEHICLES in dayz right now. So why do you think that is hmm? Because they are doing them from scratch. Moot post.

You obviously never played the mod. Literally 99% of the servers were: ( 900 Vehicles)(Spawn with M4A1 SD) (Self BB)(AI)(Donater Bases) Those servers were 24/7 KoS. You seem to think this will reduce KoS. You are an idiot. This will allow someone to run around kill, and die, with ABSOLUTELY NO CONSEQUENCES What do you think they will do? There will be NO rp There will be NO point in playing There WILL be fuck loads of dead bodies at your feet. As for the "Majority" playing on "Classical" servers, thats BS. People will buy the game to play 24/7 TDM (Which DayZ is horrible for) and get bored after a week and cry on the forums, wanting their $ back. Or, they'll get a .50 (Which i'll assume you want added) and shoot everyone. But no worries, they just respawn with everything! :D

I also have a GTX 690 and its a great card. But only 1 of the gpu's is working for Dayz so it runs pretty crap at 2560x1600. Either nvidia or dayz need to get that sorted. While they slowly update Dayz SA maybe try Arma 3 - Breaking Point mod. Both gpu's run close to max, get smooth 60fps and BP has lots of guns, vehicles, tents, zombies etc :)

I do not believe we will see any vehicles for at-least 4-6 months. Even Bicycles.

I don't think there has been any date released on when these things will be added. I've heard rumors however of them debating even adding helicopters or not. What I think they would do, and hope, is adding bikes relatively soon and more vehicles to follow in toe.

once they add vehicles you'll also realize you cant look around as good as you could in real life. for example in helis you cant look down off the to side as you could in real life.. same with vehicles and such. If they could make the view more realistic, i'd be fine with it.

This x1000. Encumbrance would be awesome. Just make values for weight carried, make it impact speed, and assign weight to everything. I'd love for weight to be a factor. Frankly, I think everything should have a weight value, and there should be a limit to what anyone can carry. This would force hard decisions on all of us. Let's say full speed with < 10KG, and then decrease speed by increments from there. It would really make a lot of the carrying shit moot. Slots would be more important, in terms of space in inventory. Wanna carry two primaries? Sure, as long as you have space. But you know what? You can't run very fast with two guns, etc. I'd like for this to take effect before vehicles are introduced. I always found running around with a coyote backpack with engine parts, a couple of spare tires, scrap metal, and a full 20L jerry can to be rather humorous.

Bad news for all you Guba lovers - the name Guba is actually the name of the bay close to the few buildings that will (probably) become Svetloyarsk in the next patch. I personally was really suprised by Dolina yesterday, been walking around in Chernarus since the days we were still waiting for vehicles in the mod (granted, have stopped playing for a while until alpha) and never quite got to seeing that place, always ended up going via Staroye in that area. Anyway, I really liked the quaint small town on the top of the hill with great views. Thinking about settling down there and maybe grow some crops on the surrounding open fields, protecting what I've got by shooting Bambi's running up the hill from Solnichny.

I have been to every location mentioned here, and I met three friendly players (two new spawns), and not a single soul since then. Literally, where are people? We need to up the server pop a lot, given that there are currently no vehicles, I cannot find anyone semmingly!? I swear, I sat an hour in Berezino reading Alice in wonderland, and noone gave a shite...spawn where you want, it is depressing if you are trying to be a medic for people who ARE NOT THERE...

So what's the problem? If you don't like a certain "encouraged" playstyle, go elsewhere. From what I can tell if it'll be (a bit) like the mod, individual servers will branch out more eventually, given private hives and later rule enforcement. Currently, no one can enforce any custom rules. So these servers basically encourage a certain gamestyle. If they do kick for breaking custom rules, you can report the servers. But it's mostly pointless to start yet another debate about what playstyle people like or how one should play the game. People could argue that servers (at least in mod) that give every new spawn full mil gear and weapons plus vehicles is also stupid, but if some people like it and if they have their private hive ...

The Mod at the moment has more content and is more stable than Standalone. The Mod is free which requires you to buy Arma 2 and Arma 2 Operation arrowhead, you can get Arma 2 and Operation arrowhead from the Humble Bundle this week as it's bohemia's sale for their games. Get it cheap there instead of steam :) https://www.humblebundle.com/weekly Standalone is a while of being stable to play with content, it doesn't even have vehicles yet. Both are amazing but i prefer Mod at the moment in terms of Content

Only way to respect that and pay back the generosity is to do the same when you are fully kitted. Always think single players can decide on the spot to try and trust another player but from what Ive seen on the streams any squad of three or four tends to play (shoot to kill without question). Is this seeming demand for kills still in the game due to lack of content probably. I think when players have more to do to survive then we might see more give and take towards each other. A team of four fully kitted have a lot to loose if Joe Blogs that has just turned up saying “Friendly” decides to take advantage so I completely understand. Shooting everyone is the easy way and I hope players and squads try for balance. Sometimes rewarding game play by helping some poor soul out and other times recognising that’s a mobile organised fire team that has one thing on its mind and need to be taken out. The map is still to sanitised being in Alpha. When it’s littered with downed Aircraft, roads with vehicles and maybe harder to survive being a new spawn with Z’ds of actual ‘threat then players I think will help each other. I guess the dream would be to see two or three individual players that have never met join up for protection for the Zombie threat never mind prowling fully kitted squads with external com’s.

Wait until they add vehicles before you play :)

Hi Guys I'm new to the Forum Thing so sorry for the noobish stuff I may say in the future. I was wondering about something my friend told me the other day. He stated that the next patch would be out Monday with shotguns, spray-paint etc. by watching the Live stream of PC Gamer/Devs. He also Stated that it was mentioned in the Stream that BASIC Vehicles/bases would be implemented by the End of January 2014 if everything went according to plan. So I was wondering if anyone else on here knew if this was a fact or not. I thought it was BS until I heard the release of the new patch on MONDAY WITH SHOTGUNS AND SPRAY-PAINT so was hoping in a way that this was going to be true aswell Tanks Guys/Gals :D

Not to mention if you put so much heavy iron on a vehicle, it will become significantly slower :) (assuming it will be iron/steel, to prevent bullets from getting into the vehicle) Unless it has a beast of an engine. but lets face it, this is Chernarus hehe and most of theese vehicles would not really be able to handle a couple hundred pounds of metal on top of them. But good list, would like to see at least a handful of theese in the game, at a later stage :)

i wish they add upgrading of vehicles in the future, in zombie world i would make something like this(maybe some spikes aswell) :) you hit zombie on the road with this? no problem / no dmg to car, ofc there should be higher fuel consumption and not much off-road possibilities, as well the upgrade should be pretty hard to achieve

Bases and vehicles are in the long term plans. No way they will be implemented by the end of January. It will definitely be sometime this year. Each of those components is a huge undertaking.
