You know whats really annoying...

[dulix11 731]

I just wanted to make a thread to see if any of you agree with me or if you have something you don't like about DayZ, post it here:

1- The flashlight. Your character is really seizure-prone when you use this thing, he/she swings it around like he/she is pretending its a hatchet! I mean, it makes more sense when your being chased by zombies but not when you just walking around. I was running from about 5 zombies before realising I was running into a goddamn fence the whole time.

2- Unexplained Bone-Breakage. I was heading toward Cherno (at daytime by the way) when out of no where, *crack* and my leg is broken, I couldn't find any bear-traps on the ground and there was nothing. Another time I'm 95% sure a DOOR broke my legs when I tried to run out of a small building.

3- The chat system. If someone could explain the Direct, Vehicle, Group and the other one I would be very happy.

4- The zombies super vocal chords. I guess you could say it makes the game scarier if you can't see the zombie and all you can hear is grunting and snarling, but it gets really annoying, especially if you CAN see them, and it sounds like they're up your ass.

5- DayZ Commanders time tab. When you look for a server on the DayZ Commander it says 'time' indicating the time it is on the server. Simple enough. But, according to the Commander, 7:45 am is still night-time. I don't know about you and where you live, but normally 7:45 in Australia is usually dawn, or sunrise.

Anways thats a couple I came up with off the top of my head so post what grinds your gears about DayZ.

There's hundreds of things I find annoying about DayZ and always have. Luckily, the overall experience is greater than the sum of it's parts. That's what stumps people that don;t enjoy it, they just can't understand why we tolerate this buggy but brilliant game.

I guess it's just proof that a good idea or good general design beats flawed mechanics. :)

Knowing that it can only be improved in the future also helps.

So what?

Improved it later?

My helicopter just exploded in mid air for no fucking reason once, nobody was shooting at me

The flashight doesn't actually bounce around if you are slow walking. (Hold shift)

-Direct Chat (40/80m text/voice range)

-Group (Nothing)

-Vehicle (Only to players in your vehicle or right next to it)

-Side (Global to everyone in the server)

DayZCommander relies on the offset in the server title (+6GMT etc) and converts that into a readable format. If the server has the wrong offset in their server name it will be incorrect. There is no other way of obtaining that information as it's not sent from the server.

Don't be SAD. Be GLAD that the game can only get better :)

Number 2 is possibly a scriptkiddie ('hacker' aka 13 year old who bought some scripts) one of the more annoying things they do. Break bones then teleport you outside the map.

And be aware of the killer trees! You are sitting under a tree...it is nice an comfortable. Then you want to stand up and walk away, but NO!

This creepy silent killer with roots and leaves was waiting for his moment to attack. You stand up, crack, and you got a broken leg. Ninjatreemove! Bang!

The same with the extremely dangerous deerstands. Get in the vicinity of those and you will get crushed!

There are some quiet annoying bugs in that game. But as Fraggle stated - it is a great game and the positive things are weighting more. So do not cry about those bugs. Everyone had frustrating moments with it. (I was kicked by a ninjatree north of the north-east airfield....WITHOUT morphine and no friends online. I was crawling about 40 minutes to find healing - but I just found two bandits.....end of story.)

The mod is still playable and fun.

Opened a gate and died. Didn't break my legs nope, just had like a stroke and died. I mean you can't get to mad, just waiting untill standalone.

I logged off close to my UAZ yesterday. When I logged on today it was mysteriously on top of me. I died. lol

Reloading my hatchet.

That one wretched zombie who spots me from miles away.

Voice on side chat.

Unbreakable hospital glass.

Weapons poofing in starter pack.

Indeed, it seems that when the infection outbreak first hit the first thing that those affected did was to chew through the handbrake cable of every vehicle in the land before deciding that they preferred flesh.

Who's Phil Collins?

[Jamz 253]

He is

I dont really find this annoying, but in the middle of the night, I find it creepy as hell.

When I rejoined a game earlier today I still had 6 stanag magazines but no weapon! I won't miss that when it stops happening! :thumbsup:

Ahhh innocence...i wish i too could honestly ask this question.

[kingfury4 65]

Am I the only one who has never had trouble with random leg breakings? I've walked off the Elektro Firehouse and not had any damage taken.

[aussiestig 681]

1. To be fair, the shaking is pretty realistic. It's not easy to be sprinting and holding a flashlight at the same time, although I do find it annoying that you have to slow walk in order to see where you're going. I'm sure they'll sort something better out for the SA.

2. As far as I know there is no way to break you bone on nothing. They don't just randomly break. Maybe from a hacker, but that's it. Treat doors with care, don't sprint around buildings, especially when you're playing with friends.

3. Side chat is everyone. Direct chat is everyone within about 100m of you, you can use voice in that aswell, but it can only be heard from about 30-40m. Vehicle is everyone inside the vehicle you're in. Group chat is something from ArmA 2, it's for squads within teams. As far as I know it works like direct chat, but it's not needed. Don't worry about group chat.

4. Whoops. This appears to be the original DayZ! Seriously though, this is from when dayz was in the testing stages, back when it was on utes, and you spawn with a Mk17 CCO. Zombies back then sounded way scarier, you're lucky!

5. DayZ commander isn't official. There are other alternatives.

The zombie grunts really throw me off.. I will be making my escape up a hill, weaving between trees.. The zombie will sound distant so I will choose to take the slower, steeper, route. Then POW. The loudest zombie grunt, he is literally on my face..

Makes my heart skip a beat every time..
