what dayz needs and will probably never get

[BLAPPER 3]

its amazing to see the amount of people that get amped up and excited about the smallest little bs updates. crossbows,vomiting,new coats and pants. its honestly a joke. such small little updates that dont mean anything. a game of this caliber has so much potential but i feel like it will never get there seeing how its been this long already.

 

what it needs

- vehicles, wide variety. i want shit to break and i want it to take time and patience to have to fix certain issues with vehicles. not some bs like click of the mouse with a "repair kit".. make changing a wheel/tire a 15 minute deal not including running out and scavenging for one (if you can find it with the right lug pattern)

gas also needs to be pretty scarce.

 

-weapons, a huge array of weapons. and random features that arent on every gun. afterall thats what you would find in real life if you were raiding hundreds of houses for guns. not the assortment thats currently in game. m4's and acog's? really? an acog isnt a common optic at all.  game needs ak's, semi and auto, rare 9mm pistols, lots of shotguns(most common gun in households), rifles with messed up parts that you have to source out. the whole "ruined, damaged,worn, and pristine" is a joke if you ask me. 22 cal rifles and pellet guns should be alot more available than a ak or m4. ammo. alot more scarce. at one point my buddy had over 1000 rounds of 5.56 on him. and that was just within a couple hours of playing. does anyone really think in real life you would just find that much ammo spread across your journey in a 2-3 hour time span?

 

-base building, have certain servers be locked in for your base setup, and some just be server to server. can you imagine having a portion of the ship wreck for your base? or aviation tower at a airbase?

possibility of real time gameplay thats always live. when your offline and not playing, your character is in your base sleeping in your bed. and could be raided anytime and have all your gear looted and be killed(stronger base setup the better).

 

-different mission types/mods.  think of a battle royale type mod on arma 3 ,60 player server where you and a crew of 2-5 people spawn inside a house and it would be just like it would be right when shit hit the fan. it would probably be hectic, mabey group up with the neighbors or go solo. all depends on the house you start in, some weapons might be in the house and mabey your out of luck. pack up all your gear and food and dip out or camp it out while the bandits do their thing.

 

-weapon spawns and gear in more realistic spawns rather than just on the f'n ground. why cant i search through some cabinets for canned food? or under matresses for guns. or safes inside a house that have to be opened with a massive tire iron or torches or whatever the hell else you can think of.

 

-no ghosting in on people, period. if your in a 5v5 fire fight and someone spawns inside your building that your holding down and kills half of you its pretty lame. sure you can hear the load in sound but anything can happen. i dont think you should be able to log into a server if someone else is within a certain distance. 20 feet and under?

 

 

-more buildings and less open field. probably about 70% of chernarus is literally just open fields or trees, where pvp or confrontations RARLEY even happens. more city type enviroments would be nice 

 

-servers that are years ahead of others in terms of civilization. trading area controlled by npc's or players?, buy stuff or trade items with other players. gas, food, ammo, clothing etc. dedicated safezones, and not safe zones like warz where people just sit outside with snipers and kill everyone. possibly be able to just spawn in somewhere out of the safezone where you choose, mabey just one or two spawns out of safe zones per hour?

 

i could probably think of alot more stuff but this is just what came up first.

and i know what the majority of people are going to say to this is. "ITS IN ALPHA". yeah thats fine and dandy but i can almost guarantee you that this game will never be anything amazing. just look at the updates they are coming out with right now. throwing things,coats, binoculars,crossbows, and dont forget!! YOU CAN USE A CAN OPENER AS A WEAPON NOW!!!!!wooohoo isnt that cool?!?! such garbage updates its not even funny.

didnt they sell like 2 million copies of this game? whats that about 60 million dollars? now sure thats not all profit. advertising,paying devs's, more advertising, testing shit, buying computers and mass amounts of other hardware, rental spaces and whatever else, those were just some random things i thought about when developing a game. im sure it goes very far in depth and i would have no idea about any of it. but i think its safe to say they are in the positive right? yeah i think they are WELL ahead... so why cant some shit be done on this game? probably because they got their money already and are ready to dip out. 

oddly enough, seeing how much i just talked shit about this game. i still like it alot and still play it. just wish it went alot more in depth

yay! i just sent in my application :thumbsup:

[FrostDMG 398]

Vehicles and storage are coming.

 

The number of weapons is limited because they're still working on them. I'm quite sure that in the final release there will be a lot of weapons to choose from.

 

There will never be "missions" in true DayZ - if you wan't that crap go play Epoch.

 

Chernarus is clearly a very rural county, and if you've ever been out in the country in the Eastern Europe, you'd find it's not too dissimilar. 

 

Again, no NPCs. This isn't an MMO. Or WarZ/Survivor Infestation Stories (LOL). 

 

More buildings will probably be added and combat logging + ghosting is easily fixed by preventing someone from joining a different server let's say 5 minutes after they just logged out or something - yeah awkward for legit players, but what can you do.

 

 

You have to remember this isn't a final release, so most of your expectations are very unrealistic of an alpha.

do better as in?? make a better game? your right. i couldnt  come close, LOL. that being said. this is 2014 and i feel like a game like dayz should be alot better and interactive than it is (or will be).

this wasnt meant to just talk shit on the game at all btw.

All of that will come but closer to full release, you will have to wait.

Sorry, that's how it came across to me but, yes, the game is in alpha, the dev team is well aware of the problems in the game and what the player base would like to see but, they also see at least twelve posts a week about " what this game needs " or " fix this game " posts. We would all love to see more frequent updates come out with more content but the Day Z team is a small one, and they just shelled out ( or so rumor says ) for a team to work on the AI, so maybe, hopefully we will see more progress soon but remember, they are still a small team doing what they can, things will get better but this is still alpha.

weird......... I normally only do that in the MLP thread........... well, back to off topic...........

ArmA3 is now on sale at a very reasonable price.

I recommend you try Sa_Matra's version of Wasteland, it has everything you need, although the islands are in a different setting.

Shame there are no European servers.

[boneboys 7988]

There are if you go into ArmA3 game server browser, also look for Hosted by INCH (HC/modified) UK based.

 

There are different versions of Wasteland but I much prefer Sa_Matra's.

I used to play on a decent server with a decent modification of Wasteland and it was hardcore too but the server population went down drastically when the server performance decided to take a dive. I think they started hosting another server on the same machine or something.

Anyway, I'll look for it, thanks for the tip :)

[qww 287]

i think most of what the op has talked about either will arrive in time, or is not what i want to see in game anyway. npcs? no. 70% urban map? yeah good luck with that . mods, that wil come in future. depth? all mechanics arent implemented yet. enjoy alpha.

This is the only thing in your post I agree with. The rest is like a fat kid with his cheeks full of Cheez Whiz shaking his head with his mouth open as hard as he can.

[terminal_boy 860]

Why no 12" rubber cock as a melee weapon?

I want to re-enact my favourite scene from Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and beat another player to death with a foot-long black rubber schlong.

I'm just waiting for that one idiot to come and post "LOL ALPHER".

[DirtyWings 51]

Lol you still have a long way to wait... This is alpha.. not even beta yet.. This is why people should read the warning.

Now I might not like everything they do in the updates or agree with them.. but I am always happy when there is an update. WHY? Because the game is moving forward.. and yes they are taking it 1 step at a time. If they had to put in vehicles and they would glitch thru the ground and kill you im sure you would write an even bigger novel on this issue.. I understand you are frustrated.
Ranting like you just did will not solve anything. Maybe next time try to suggest it instead of ordering it.
 

[Dawgstyl 51]

All this coming from a guy that just started playing and just made his first port to rant, get involved provide feedback. Play and remember its just a game and should i remind you its a game that rocket told you not to even buy right now(guess he missed that with only 3 post under his belt)because its nowhere near finished.

 

For a broken game in its beginning its very playable, the hunting and fishing has added a whole new PvE aspect to the game. I have not interacted with another player since the patch came out in the EXP servers just to see if I could survive(not canned items or drinks) building fires hunting for food. It takes a good bit of time to do so, but its different and fun. Cant wait to try out the fishing..

 

Again you should think of how you address the guys that are clearly smarter than you making the game, there are reasons it takes long to fix and add new items ones you have never even thought about. Again if you can do better do so and become a rich wealthy little kid and JUST DO IT!

This is the only reply that should have been given to this topic and no one else should've bothered to reply. tbh I'm surprised how it wasn't locked right off the bat with a friendly little post saying "Literally all of this is coming upon full release" of the game and leave it at that.

I'll just quote you then so I don't have to say it :D but it's true! This is just at that certain early development stage, there's lots more to look forward to! Heck some of the things he mentioned were already added/being added :P

DO NOT BUY ARMA 3. I bought that piece of garbage and it's even worse then sa alpha.

They still haven't fixed the notorious insane fps drops while you're inside cities in arma 3.

Don't give Bohemia any money for that scam.

 

At least standalone can have the alpha excuse for now. There's no excuse for arma 3 running like garbage

 

yes I have a high end system, no you're not running good fps inside any cities in arma 3. yes there is a huge thread (1 year later) on the forums to backup my claims.
