I agree about custom loadouts, as well as added loot/vehicles/buildings (that last one is just wierd) and I would be in favour of setting the default view to FPV assuming TPV was fixed as people feel so strongly about it. I think particularly intense player encounters have that effect on people regardless of view though. I had to log off once after killing some innocent guy who held fire on me as I just got the hero skin because I felt so bad, that was in TPV. Events when the adrenaline is flowing and you don't quite make it.. you have to sit back hands shaking. That's a unique thing to DayZ's core gameplay, emotional investment at least for me is regardless of which view I'm using at the time, its to do with the world itself.

Also, GAZ is not what you'd call a 2013 car, is it? Or any other vehicle ingame except the SUV which got removed (see the pattern?). Chernarus is supposed to be a gloomy post soviet European country, not a wealthy west world country. IMO this kind of vehicle matches perfectly the atmosphere. And yes, they are not used anymore by the army (not this kind of model at least), but as in every eastern European country, old army vehicles usually find their way to civilians' hands because they are made to last for many years. So while you wouldn't find any in a military camp, you would find them in farms for example. Much cheaper to get a rugged army vehicle second hand than buying a brand new ATV which you probably wouldn't be able to find in a store in Chernarus. Well, after some research, it seems they are still being used by the army.

Perhaps not lazy no, but I definitely think that many players dislike being outside of their comfort zone. I get this sometimes to after a particurarly suspenseful encounter, where I just want to log out and stare at kittens for a while. Maybe it's just that some us accept that DayZ isn't supposed to be "enjoyed" the same way as other games while others label it as a video game and want it to work like every other game? I don't know, pure speculation. This combined with the fact that servers by default have TPV on and not the other way around explains why so many players still populate TPV servers, methinks. (Also, the custom servers with "epic loadouts" and lots of weapons and vehicles kinda suggest that the average player is, in fact, lazy. :) )

UPDATE... I have added a new village to the map, it's based in Novy Lug. It's an abandoned Medical outpost that had to be abandoned after the first infected came to rise and things escalated too quickly for the military to maintain. There's a medical tent where you might find supplies and a few military mobile HQ placements...toilets, deer stands for security and a mobile repair center. I've checked the spare parts storage and the fuel levels but it's been cleared out already. Damn bandits :rolleyes: Check it out there might still be things left that the crows didn't pinch. Watch yourselves though! It's on an old hunters plain and there's deer stands dotted in the fields adjacent to it. Keep your eyes on those horizons boys. ;) In other news there's now over 600 custom spawn locations for vehicles on the server that I personally placed myself. These are all over the map but with a fair majority along the coast so there's lots of opportunities to be had by both the one wanting the vehicle or those damn bandits to pray upon them drawing in prey. These locations will not always spawn in vehicles mind you. I've set it at a medium spawn rate so say 5/10 will spawn in. Helicopters are few and far between and there's many places they could appear. Keeps the demand high and the fear factor on edge :D

Vehicles aren't a major part of the game. I spend 90% of the time walking. But they are redoing them completely, that's why they are out. Cause right now it just feels like you're driving a giant explosive rock.

Vehicles ? :p already confirmed as absent from the initial release, I'd call them planned features, guess my statement was true.

Who replaces the vehicles and choppers after they blow up? Who disposes of all the dead bodies after restart? What is the meaning to life?

Are you fed up of all these terrible servers? 146.185.30.2:3255 Well, Endless Gaming has created a DayZ Taviana Server!

You could block their patch, or even shoot their wheels. In one of these cars will be a person. After stopping that car, you must kill the person inside. If he manages to get out and kill you it's game over for you. (If you manage to kill him whilst he's driving, good job but he may get away.)

The starter packages are well reveived by the community! do you already get one? -> get you your starter kit today and build your first house on our Origins server! I hope to see you soon! Greeting Northi

I disagree with everything you said . I'll give you this, am a bit disappointed about zombies and vehicles not being on initial release(vehicles are not that important anyways) . Zombies however, are . It is a zombie SURVIVAL game . IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE COMPLICATED . Ps . From my point of view , your complains and claims MAKE the game more "arcadey" or whatever . Matt is an experienced dev , even if he doesn't have serious gameplay time as you claim , his experience fills its place . Nothing is perfect, nothing will ever satisfy all you needs , their will always be differences , so stop complaining . Accept the game as its maker wants it to be , or don't buy it . Rocket did say he wont change anything he planned at this time period .

After the removal of the as50. and the m107 both incredibly powerful, accurate, death machines. I have felt that the left over snipers were both unrealistic in diversity and left a need for a heavier caliber. Also the only NV compatible sniper left is the DMR. This basically limits certain players to use the DMR simply so that it works with their NV. Also no guns in the game currently can reliable disable a military vehicle. I have played on servers where a group of players would fly around in a Huey, essentially invincible, gunning down survivors. My suggestion to these problems is the introduction of a bolt action sniper in a heavier caliber than 7.62. A 50.cal bolt action could penetrate armored glass of pilot seats and could take down a main rotor in a couple of shots. But it does not even need to be a 50. cal, other calibers like the .416 barrett or the .338 lapua could do the job. Also it could be NV compatible so players have a choice other than the DMR. Essential what is needed is a way for players to fight back against armored vehicles even if they don't have an armored vehicle, yet keep it balanced by making it a bolt action and a rare spawn either at chopper crashes or a small chance in the barracks. http://www.barrett.net/firearms/model95 http://www.barrett.net/firearms/mrad two Barrett example of what I am talking about.

I would play but 250+ vehicles and you spawn with guns..

216.244.86.234:2332 this is a great dayz server! this server has very friendly admins and is a 24/7 daytime, has lots of vehicles, extra loot and its all around a great server so go check it out! it also has self bloodbag!

If it's on public hives, then yes. Just like the rest of your stuff. Unless it's vehicles and/or tents, of course.

I have to say that most of the things listed in the OP (minimal HUD, filling magazines, player-to-player blood transfusions instead of using unrefrigerated blood bags etc.) are some of the things that I find the most awesome about the standalone. It's a shame that there won't be any vehicles on release, but that's for the greater good. They're being redone so that we have something better than what we have in the mod. I think the vast majority do not want a polished mod, they want a polished game. That's the reason the standalone wasn't released in December.

Yes and you know that adding all that stuff can easily double the weight of such a vehicle? And to counter that they have to improve the engine power or else it will literally kill itself because it is no made for the task let alone tthe clutch. You also have to improve the suspension, brakes and add better ( reinforced runflat ) tires. These thing withstand roadside bombs. All parts that you can't just order via amazon in an apocalype. Finding scrap metal and maybe even a welder might be easier. You also need some training for such vehicles because even with the scale of a normal car it handles like a truck. There are those vehicles and the makeshift "armored" vehicles that are simple vehicles with improved bodywork. They are good enough to protect you from rioting zombies, light collisions and maybe pistols, shotguns and small caliber rifles but nothing to drive into a major shootout with big bore and assault rifles, just exactly what you might need in an apocalype to be mobile and slightly protected.

Hi My idea is that each server host would actually host 3 servers. One Chenarus, 1 Celle, and 1 Taviana (or a different selection jus 2 more maps). the if I say drove right to the end of the dead end road to the north west I would be swapped to the Taviana server. Or if I drove to the end of the coast road in the south west I would be swapped to the Celle server, with all the lobby and server selection hidden by a load screen (or even with a lobby so you could take a break) This could even become a feature.... each month or so feature a new community map. Maybe even let players vote for which one they want. I do realise this would be a mammoth task with how to move vehicles with map swaps, and how to make it auto join the server. It could also result in people camping the transition spots, but its not too different from looting NWA. Think that's about it :)

There are other things you can do - set yourself an objective(s). Try to stay alive for as long as you can but going to all the high risk areas. Setting up a network of tents, repairing vehicles - the game is never ending, there is no end game so eventually you have to set yourself objectives because you're surviving now. When I log in I have things I want to do in that gaming session, or my mates and i decide on something. We move on foot so we get to see a lot more as well. The map is quite stunning in places.

I am not sure how well the community will respond to a difficult scenario in DayZ. The DayZ community overall is quite spoiled with how common military grade weapons are and how easy it's to obtain vehicles and helicopters. Back when on accident the zombies had a high chance of infecting players, the game-play changed quite drastically. Players of which didn't care about the patch simply ran into town would more than likely get infected, while the game rewarded players for being stealthy to actually avoid zombies. But alas the amount of crying forced the devs to revert this change... Now the question is... How will players react when the Standalone is much harder than the mod? Will rocket capitulate to the demands of the casual community?
