First Opinions (Pretty Good)

[Tenacious (DayZ) 0]

So, after being murdered countless times and respawning next to some airfield over and over, I decided to loot what I could and run for miles with my crazy modded M4 and plenty of ammo.

 

Some time after running for hours I got to a castle on a hill and I was simply walking around looting. All of a sudden I got trapped half in the floor stuck between a cresent wall and a hill, I then ended up slipping through the ground then got launched all the way back down the hill (Which of course killed me, apparently falling a foot kills you anyway thanks to the original arma 2 damage lark).

So I started again in rage (After being killed a few more times by randoms) and then once again fell through a random floor on a corner building (Yes, this also killed me)...

 

Up to now I think I've died 4 times by falling rather short distances (1M tops, god damn it Bohemia!!). Other than this the game is pretty enjoyable even in its alpha state, captured a guy, looted some cool shit and I think im fairly familar with the map now.

 

Pleased so far anyway at least, just please fix the floor/wall glitches and get rid of the typical ArmA2 falling damage :D

You have some luck.  You have done things I have never experienced. 

 

1. spawn countless times next to the airfield.

2. died from heights.
3. being stuck.

 

:beans:

Weird. 

 

So many times? I haven't been killed by the map yet and I have a TON of hours logged. 

 

I'm sure it's on their to do list as a few others have mentioned such incidents.

 

Until then, be less clumsy..  ;)

I have died quite a few times walking off a roof to a mini hut halfway from the ground to the roof....my guy just slid right off the side...UGHHGHGHLHGHGHHG and died.

 

Damn ground'll get ya!!

Agree with you man - its actually pretty good at the moment, just needs a bunch of bug-fixing, streamlining and a couple more features to be completely playable (more zombies, some form of persistent storage) and anything else is icing on the cake.

 

Personally, I have been killed by the world three times now in various ways.

 

 

First, I was in an apartment building - end game status and just waiting around to get hungry, pretty much. I'd made it my aim to get every non-consumable in pristine and was looking for my second med-kit in pristine shape...

 

Anyway, I saw what looked like a fresh orange on a balcony. What it was, I'll never know, as I walked out and immediately no-clipped through the railing, falling four stories and dying.

 

 

The second time, I'd literally just gotten back to that point. I was running down to Khelm, where I was planning on staying and living (making regular trips to the NEAF) until I got wiped, killed or tents/storage came out. I walked off a rock, literally a meter high at the most and died.

 

 

Third time, I was in Elektro. Same situation, end game, was doing well... I was scouting, looking around. I was planning on meeting up with a few friends, and, looking for them on the top of a hospital(?) roof, I walked to the other side. I then realised that despite having let go of the button, I was still walking forward. I started crazily tabbing and esc-ing, and just as I realized I should disconnect, I fell like six stories.

 

 

My only other criticism is there should be some kind of spawn-timed invincibility/inability to kill. I've logged out in some bad places a couple of times (rather stupidly) and twice I've logged in to instantly get shot inside a barracks. I know that I shouldn't really log out in hotspots, but when you're in a rush, it can be difficult. I think that the best way to solve that would to make people invincible for five or ten seconds after connection - but they can't deal any damage or draw a weapon. Just my two cents. :P

I killed myself a few times on accident, not exactly the maps fault.  Ran right through a guard rail on a catwalk of an industrial building once (I should not have been that close to the edge).  Last night I decided to view my inventory halfway up a ladder on a crane.  Then right after that I respawn and glitched through a wall into a "void" space.  This has actually happened a few times, however I have never died from it; I just glitch myself back out eventually (happened last night right after respawn, took about 20 mins and changing to a server I had a 995 ping with, to glitch back onto the map).

 

The one time I really think the map killed me, or lag did, I climbed a ladder on the outside of a building in elektro, took a few steps on the roof and the game suddenly just said I was dead.  I must have fallen, but unless it was lag I did not see where it would have been possible.

 

I have glitched through plenty of walls/fences/doors at ground level.  If it were to happen on a higher level, it would mean death.

Hi.

 

After getting reasonably geared for the first time, I decided to go explore the shipwreck north of Berezino. Humorously, I fell through the deck and plummeted to my death lol. I was close to the edge but I went through it, not over. Then, I ran all the way back up there to try reclaiming my gear. Of course I couldn't find my corpse, so I climbed my way back up to see if I could spot it, then fell through the same spot again :lol:

 

So yeah, I've felt the falling pain lol.

 

Regards.

Yeah the ship sucks.. I spent hours getting there then I heard you fall through it easily so I just walked away.. Just what ever you do avoid the crescent wall at the castle.. theres a huge gap between it which you can get lodged into.

 

I admit I have cheated a little and suicided to get a decent spawn, however most of the time I just end up at balota anyway!

Zub Castle is where you fell, I walk with caution around that little spot, also the stairs don't have collision so stay out of the tower "for now".
