[Luieburger 15]

Please please please fix my car. I don't know what's wrong with it and the guy said the spark plugs need changing. Hope this is fixed in the next patch. Kthnx.

You can hide body but flies would remain. It really annoys me.

I know WE can hide corpses, but in my case it was sinking into ground when killed by 5 zeds, sure was cool since it looked like they ate him..

But it probably is this that causes corpfree flies..

Adding to the corpse-less flies debate .... I was playing with my brother last night, we were in a red brick house, the one with the little staircase to the blocked door. I had aggro'd a few and was having no problem sitting at the top of the stairs picking them off as they came in. My bro came in after I had finished them off, so I thought anyway, he was doing some bag juggling at the bottom of the stairs when he gets one hitted by a zed, from 12k blood to passed out with a broken leg in one hit. I think i had alt-tabbed or was bag juggling myself anyway i couldnt save him in time, the one hit killed him. No biggie, i will wait here by your body till you get back, i think we were only one or two towns up from the coast. I went down the stairs, looked out of one of the doors, turned round and his body and all his gear had gone. No zeds around, no other players and a couple of days worth of gear gone in a fly ridden flash.

Bug squashing is not a priority this early in a game design. Once you add any feature (regardless of how smooth and bug free the game is prior) more bugs will appear. Any feature you add will interact with (in ways you can not comprehend before hand) previous features' date=' and 95% of the time it will break quite a few other game systems. It's a pain in the ass but that is software design and engineering for you.

Rocket would actually be better off ignoring most of the bugs and if he knew his full feature set goal he would implement them all as quick as possible, while trying to keep the build stable enough to barely run. Trust me this would be a cluster fuck, I've worked on projects like that before where for the first 9-12 months the game is almost completely unplayable as a whole while the engineers try to implement all the features in the engine.

Bug squashing comes after feature completion. We are lucky he spends time refining it for our entertainment instead of shutting us all down and simply internally testing it to complete his project. Half the reason this project moves so slow is because he caters so kindly to his audience and our fix requests.

As for counters to the bear traps wait and see how they work before assuming they need a solution or are going to negatively affect game play. You will probably love the first time you watch a player go down from one of your traps.

Guys, read this post.

Yea!

Zeds spawn rate is OK now, not relaxing one, not annoying one. Keep caution ;-)

Same happend to me, just without anything. I got broken bone was uncouncious and bleeding without a zombie nor a shot.

Bodies still disapear way too fast. One hint though: Take the loot away from the body and drop it around it. This dropped loot stays there way longer than the body. Helped me when I had to kill myself, because of another broken bone case.

Good advice, we'll know for next time.

Please make off-map (out of boundary) tents and vehicles NOT ABLE TO SAVE.

People are currently exploiting the non-playable area to hoard all the vehicles, so much that I haven't seen a vehicle (besides a bicycle yesterday, once) for a couple weeks, since the vehicles were able to spawn again.

Fully agree here. I haven't even seen a bicycle, and it's not like I haven't been looking for them. That's practically all I do.

Some of this could be attributed to continuing server-side vehicle problems. Vehicles seem to disappear altogether, still, if a restart isn't done frequently.

I could be way off, but it seems there's more than one contributing factor to some reported lack of vehicles.

I had a bike, saved it way up in the mountains, where I thought it'd be safe. Cleared the surrounding area and all, to make sure there were no tents.

Log off for the night, log in for the morning. Bike's gone. Not a big deal, I did just fine without a bike before. But irritating nonetheless, it either disappeared or was legitimately taken by another player.

Went back to the original spawn and it was not there, so, kicked that one up to ol' lady luck and continued surviving.

Come on, Rocket.... At least say SOMETHING.

[only.i.know.93@gmail.com 0]

Agree with the above. Can't find a vehicle anywhere because of the exploit. Have been travelling around on several servers, just looking for some. Have yet to find anything! This has to be fixed!

[cyanyde 165]

I stole a red car from some bandits yesterday, so I know the cars work.

Incidentally, the server went down right after that, and when it came back up there was a message about the tents getting wiped today. Does that mean my car is gone from where I hid it as well? :P

I was in Cherno with a friend. A guy tried to axe us. We killed him. But before we got to his body, it immediately started sinking into the ground like it was hidden. We could hear the flies but not the body. I think this is what is happening.

[srvrsyde 9]

the flies without bodies is a known bug, try not to worry so much about something that has no effect on you

[ATOJAR 23]

Up north ive found quite a few quad bikes, Ive also found one or two push bikes but that's about it.

[radioghost 2]

You're all mistaken about vehicles. You just have to know how to look. My friends and I have repaired and driven over 10 vehicles in the past 2 weeks on several different servers.

What about those of us (most of us) who DO know where to look, and find nothing? Or have vehicles, only to have them disappear?

It depends highly on personal experience, and because you've found vehicles... doesn't mean that everything's kosher for everyone else.

Loving the updates, keep up the good work man :)

Bodies do NOT dissapear that fast - the day before yesterday our group killed 3 bandits and they all stood there for over 10 minutes, one of our team died and managed to come back to his body and "loot himself" again, from Cherno to Stary Sobor. What might happens is the following: The bodies are being counted as normal loot, and they are being cleaned up altogether with the server clean.

Example: if a server clean up is from 15 to 15 minutes, and you kill someone on the minute 14, you may only have 1 minute to loot it. If that's the case, there must be a different clean-up for itens and for bodies.

Regarding vehicles: I found a Van in the woods, but I can't seem to find any other vehicle. Choppers appear to be moved miles away from the map's limit.

Starting to worry about the complete silence from Rocket & team....seems out of character :(

[Cormac McCarthy 15]

Hopefully they just make this closed alpha/ beta. whatever it is. only let like 100 people play dayz.

then just release the standalone later. IMO that is worth it

Shit, really? I always thought those dudes were smart enough to survive forever. Hope they went down like heroes, saving a small child from a horde of zeds, or similar :-/
