Am I the only one that was somewhat irked when he brought up the "doors open and close randomly" thing and attributed it to one of the designers? I've seen that suggestion coming from the community many many times...

Nice summary!

I'm sure many people have thought of it, including devs.

The apocalypse is a lonely time indeed.

The apocalypse is a lonely time indeed.

Were gonna need some love in our apocalypse DayZ lifes.

[pacific_coast 632]

this is such a waste of resources, for such little pay off.

 

i have a dog.

 

a german shephard/border collie IRL

 

don't need one in game

 

i love animals but i will kill and eat your dogs and horses on sight

 

it's the principle of the thing

You need to remembor thats a VERY small minority of the community.

[Sistinas1973 50]

Having companion pets is a bit of a stretch that I agree should not be a part of this game. Why would you even want one walking around you and most likely giving away your position? I second the option to KOS them. Many sad pandas soon to be heard crying out on the forums because some bandit shot their dog. 

[Pokerguy12 218]

Wait what about the physics integration, wasn't that supposed to be the next thing

Same thing can be said for 3rd person issues. Don't like it? Join a hardcore server.

[ptk (DayZ) 178]

Of course dayz needs dogs. Cod has them, so if dayz wants to be competitive they should have dogs too...

You forgot the kill streaks, and the helicopter support, and the care packages, and the tactical nuke, AND OF COURSE, the UAV.

 

OUR UAV IS ONLINE!

Hopefully we get some innovative Mario 64 level fish AI too this game really needs it.

Yup, I agree with that and I can't stand 3rd person! Yuck!  :P

[captain_finnish 134]

Oh fuck yes!!!! More cores being used! Yeeeesss!

[St. Jimmy 1631]

OP needs to add that it was about server optimization. Client might not get any better multi-core support.

:( well it might mean more zombies and maybe more players too

We also need no bullet travel time

It's both for client and server side.
