Thoughts on the new patch

[GunnerSquad 3]

Alright, before I begin I understand this is an experimental patch. With that being said lets begin.

-Characters saved to that specific server: Horrible Idea. Reason being is that you spawn randomly. Which doesn't make it fair to those who don't spawn near the big cities like berezino. Which mean by the time you have walked (which I clocked at 6 minutes) from the Factory to Berezino the entire place has been ravaged. Which leads to my next point.

 

-Items: When the server I was in reset, so did my character and all my loot. I dont know if that server specific but that sucked. Luckily I spawned off the coast near Berezino. The warehouse near the crane was empty. Completely. I didnt discourage myself so I kept searching. After spending 15 minutes going through locked doors, apartments, and homes around the town I found nothing but shoes and clothing. The Market luckily had a backpack and one can of food but that was it. I decided to run another 8 minutes to Gorka. When I arrived there no one had been there either. After searching majority of the town, I only found 3 cans of food, boots, a soda and a Mosin with no ammunition. My question is how do expect 40 people to survive without it turning into a game of cut throat? I understand you are trying to limit what one person can carry but what about someone else? He should have if not all but enough to compete with this games eviroment.

The lack of Items in this game ties back into the Characters being saved to a specific server. No one wants to play on an empty server with the fear of no players joining. With that being said, if you join a high populated server from a low one, first, you lose your character, and second, you have to find items in a game that the only chance of you ever survivng is waiting for a reset. This ultimately leads to a lot of frustration.

 

-Glitches: After applying spray paint to my mosin it disapeared.

                The game will alt tab to windows for no reason what so ever.

              

-Gripes: I'm tired of running. Period. The map does not need to be so damn large. Not yet at least. You have 40 players max to a server with loot that is next to impossible to find majority of the time. Why make them run 15-20 minutes to cherno from berezino just to get shot?

 

This is a great game with a lot of potential. And this is just my input. I hope it helps.

 Tired of running.

 

 What.

[GunnerSquad 3]

I'll make my self a little more clear. I'm tired of running 10 minutes with no reward. Its frustrating and a waste of time when you get kos by someone. Only to reset and do it all over again.

I believe this has been said before:

Get off the coast. Instant loot. Yolo and Swag.

[Greaves 131]

This game isn't ment to be ''fair'', ''rewarding'' (in item sense) or ''balanced''. To a degree.

 

I wish the map was twice as big.

GunnerSquad... 

 

There seem to be a number of misconceptions.

 

A massive part of the game is about equipping yourself in order to be able to survive. If it only took minutes there would be no game.  The times you list are nothing.. it should be hard to find supplies. 

 

You found a rifle within 10 minutes and you complain about not being able to find gear???

 

Do I need to remind you the game is in Alpha and is simply not complete or ready for end users?  I strongly suggest you take the official advice and don't play Dayz until it is more complete.

 

I agree with Greaves.. would love the map lots bigger.

 

Good luck

The topic of the thread is misleading. You should change the thread title to: "See how much I can whine in one paragraph"

 

As for bugs, bug report them, complaining about them on the forums isn't going to help anyone.

The map can't be downscaled, it would break everything. Stop playing the game if you can't handle running. And for the "lost my stuff", stop playing on private hives and hardcore.

[MethHeadMario 27]

Yeah. This thread name needs to be changed or delete the thread entirely.. The only thing you talked about in this thread that has anything to do with the new patch is the spray paint mosin part.

My two-cents one rule upon respawn :

Get the ocean on my back presto and head straight up the mountains. You still get all what you need before greed kicks in for military loot.

At least worked ok before this latest update. Haven't really tested now.

that's not the developer's fault. clearly you're one of those people who just wants to find military loot and kos everyone you see anyway. you could try:

 

not going to balota

not going to cherno

not going into military camps

surveying an area from a safe place before you enter a high population area

 

 

this topic was obviously just made after you ran for ten minutes to get to berezino, meaning you probably used an online map. it also means you simply bypassed all the towns and buildings on the way to berezino, because you wanted military loot. so you can go around kos'ing everyone. you are the problem.

Hahahaha best fucking response ... Whine > Complain > develop whine > get put down by majority of player > Insult and whine more.

 

There should be some form of we got your money lolololol meme for this moment - please go back to playing CoD and or BF (do battlefield it's way more fun out of those two ... though maybe you don't have patience for the big maps?)

You guys are just in denial. Also, what other purpose does this game serve in the phase that it is in besides looting military equipment and kos players? Killing zombies? This game is garbage the state it is in. Period. Flame my "complaints" all you want. I understand they intend to add more features. But all of my complaints I've made in this post I see in new threads left and right in your general chat right now. And Faramon, shut your hipster mouth you pussy.

Might be worth your time to pick up rust and try that. If all you wanna do is play a FPS and still have some of the DayZ survival mantra in there then that might be the game for you.

 

 

...But it's not DayZ

[hypergolem 39]

The problem is (since it is Alpha) there is nothing much to survive from... Hunger? Not a big deal... Thirst? Even easier, just find a well and drink drink drink. Zombies? HAHAHAHAHAHA, Cold? boh... Other players? Maybe, but since the patch weapons are much rarer, we will see...

I just hope they can add enough elements to the game to make it interesting. I played the Mod for a year and I know every little corner of the map, and the standalone alpha is so far extremely boring and doesn't give many options to do something.
