DeadNed 1 Posted March 7, 2014 I understand this is alpha and blah blah blah but I feel there are some things that need to take priority over adding more blue, or changing hand gestures. There are game breaking issues that should be addressed before anything else. 1. Fix the profile reset crap. Sometimes if you join a server and you see a very brief message something about the server not being able to retrieve your profile and instead of giving an error and is connecting you LIKE IT SHOULD, it loads you into a new spawn and resets you. IF you can exit before the server writes your blank character to the hive you can save your gear otherwise you are just screwed. Why is this still happening? 2. Fix the graphical and collision glitches. Why are we still falling through ladders or being vaulted off ladders or the game doesn't put us on stairs correctly so we fall and break our legs or die? Ok so I got a bunch of gear but oh wait, I clipped through a set of stairs now I'm dead and have to start all over. Not acceptable even for an alpha. 3. Ok I understand you can't fix stupid or control people but there can be counter measures taken against assholes. PvP is part of the game, I get that and that's fine. BUT there is SOOOO much more potential for immersion that is missed because somewhere people got in the mindset they are just going to shoot you on sight and skip any attempt to interact and that frame of mind has spread like a disease. I have personally experienced chains of events such as: Playing having fun with my fully geared character, decide to go up to the top of a high rise to snipe zombies, but oops..when I got to the top of the ladder the game didn't dismount me and i fell to my death. Ok respawn, run 20 minutes to my body, THERE IT IS! Oh wait, I can't click on it in the elevator shaft so I guess I am starting over. Ok so I run around and gather gear, got my tac shirt, got my vest, got my hunter backpack, got my M4 and other misc items like a can opener and some food. Took about an hour to get all of it. I am the only one in the server still at this point so I am going to run down and loot Balleta. Check the first barrack, nothing good. Check players list before running out and still alone. Check the 2nd barrack, oh nice, a RDS for my M4. Step into the hallway and some piece of shit motherfucker who apparently just spawned in and knew exactly where I was is waiting aimed at me as soon as I step out of the bunk room. Dead, hour wasted plus the few hours building my character that fell off a ladder. Starting over AGAIN. Ok so forget the asshole that just decided to kill me, whatever fuck him he can do what he wants. Given the nature of the game are we REALLY expected to have to start from scratch every time we get fucked by someone or a ladder or a flight of stairs? Wasn't there something in Arma that you could set up a base so to speak so if you died you still at least had whatever was there? Why cant we have that here? Explain to me how the above described scenario would be fun for anyone? If I could setup a "spawn point" or a shelter to store scavenged items in that would be there when I spawned it would be so much more fun. Instead of how it is right now where, you gather everything you can use or need then have nothing to do accept go find someone to kill you and start over, you would actually have fun gathering and storing supplies and wouldn't feel so much like you have to hide everywhere cause some fucker is gonna kill you as soon as they see you. Maybe even something like a check so if someone kills you but they were not in a certain radius of you for a defined period of time or whatever just some script the game uses to determine if someone just killed you without attempting to interact then you get to respawn with all your gear. maybe that idea is just retarded all I know is this, currently is no fun anymore. A friend of mine was telling me about this game and he's like "Oh you gotta get this game you can ro people, restrain them, make them eat bad fruit or drink cleaner and all kinds of things. it's so immersive!" So I buy the game and it is literally seeing how much shit you can collect before some asshole shoots you. That's about it Fine I am QQing complaining I know it's alpha whatever, I just hope these things are addressed before it hits the store shelves because in it's current state it is just another method for internet dicks to be internet dicks.

Guest Posted March 7, 2014 1. This is an alpha issue 2. As the game is still full of bugs, this will not allow optimization, I don't know if you have ever coded, but you can spend more time on 1 line than on the rest of a segment trying to fix problems, give them time 3. This is not a developer issue, play the sims if you want an immersion game free from KoS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oregonized 673 Posted March 7, 2014 You obviously do not understand how game development is handled. I guarantee you that things are being worked out and it is not as easy as just opening notepad and changing a single line of text. The game most likely won't move into the beta phase of testing until the end of the year and probably 6 months to a year of more testing before final release. Either, help test the game and report bugs or go play something else if you want to play a polished product. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cuwe 66 Posted March 7, 2014 As I have mentioned in many other threads: People are assholes, always have been, always will be. Add anonymity and they get "big brass ball syndrome" and act like they are a god. That being said, if you want to be a "gear whore" this is the wrong game for you.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
execpro22 128 Posted March 7, 2014 Maybe even something like a check so if someone kills you but they were not in a certain radius of you for a defined period of time or whatever just some script the game uses to determine if someone just killed you without attempting to interact then you get to respawn with all your gear. maybe that idea is just retarded all I know is this, currently is no fun anymore. Plz tell me you dont really mean that! So basically you want ot be immortal and never have to worry about anything? What if A zombie kills you without trying to interact with you? Do you get to respawn with all your gear too? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone who cuffs people and feeds them disinfectant is a sadistic little shit who would probably be out torturing small animals if they weren't too big of a pussy to actually go outside in the sun. I kill players all day for the "sport" of it... but there is no sport in simulating torture on a helpless individual. That is some future serial killer type of shit right there. :facepalm: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaughingJack (DayZ) 767 Posted March 7, 2014 No deal here. Lies. Always lies on this forum. 1. Fix the profile reset crap. Sometimes if you join a server and you see a very brief message something about the server not being able to retrieve your profile and instead of giving an error and is connecting you LIKE IT SHOULD, it loads you into a new spawn and resets you. IF you can exit before the server writes your blank character to the hive you can save your gear otherwise you are just screwed. Why is this still happening? Look at my Signature. Read it, 2. Fix the graphical and collision glitches. Why are we still falling through ladders or being vaulted off ladders or the game doesn't put us on stairs correctly so we fall and break our legs or die? Ok so I got a bunch of gear but oh wait, I clipped through a set of stairs now I'm dead and have to start all over. Not acceptable even for an alpha.Look at my Signature. Read it. 3.

Dead, hour wasted plus the few hours building my character that fell off a ladder. Starting over AGAIN. DayZ is a sandbox game. Main thing about is - there are nor rules. And people often behave like assholes, true, but you just have to deal with it. And don't get attached to your gear. Gearing up is part of the game but not the goal. Given the nature of the game are we REALLY expected to have to start from scratch every time we get fucked by someone or a ladder or a flight of stairs? Wasn't there something in Arma that you could set up a base so to speak so if you died you still at least had whatever was there? Why cant we have that here?

Yes Had DayZ Mod too. Was called tents. Will come in DayZ SA as well, but first backpacks as persistent containers. (only on ONE server persistent) We will. See point 2 It's part of the game. You can't "win" DayZ. So every game is determined to lose. Since DayZ=Fun and DayZ=losing we can say: losing=fun :) No. But persistent objects (see point 2) will come. If they are still there wenn you die and respawn...well...if nobody else found it inbetween.. Maybe even something like a check so if someone kills you but they were not in a certain radius of you for a defined period of time or whatever just some script the game uses to determine if someone just killed you without attempting to interact then you get to respawn with all your gear. maybe that idea is just retarded all I know is this, currently is no fun anymore. See the answer concerning sandbox game. A friend of mine was telling me about this game and he's like "Oh you gotta get this game you can ro people, restrain them, make them eat bad fruit or drink cleaner and all kinds of things. it's so immersive!" So I buy the game and it is literally seeing how much shit you can collect before some asshole shoots you. That's about itsee answer above. Fine I am QQing complaining I know it's alpha whatever, I just hope these things are addressed before it hits the store shelves because in it's current state it is just another method for internet dicks to be internet dicks.The easiest methode to find all internet dicks is by posting in this forum ;) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PiLLZ 55 Posted March 7, 2014 this game is not really meant to be easy or user friendly, I didnt really read what you were complaining about but i get the gist of it from the first sentence the part where you say alpha blah blah blah, so this is in alpha and stuff you mention is actual being worked on, player identification will never be implemented thats a fact. Learn how to sneak around and always assume that if it looks empty its probably not. adopt a "no one is friendly" mentality and things will go a lot smoother.
