My issues with .55

[sea 18]

Why is it that anyone expressing their disappointment with the current stable build gets their posts removed or topics locked?  Are you so concerned that you just lost a good 50% of your player base that you have to hide the truth?

 

Persistence is BROKEN. It should *NEVER* have been forced due to its unstable nature.  Maybe if tents worked, it might be viable?

 

Zeds:  While I like the new difficulty level, why overpower them while they still glitch through buildings and locked doors?  Not to mention desync in the middle of zombie fights; they jump from position to position unrealistically.  I'm not whining about the OP zombies; they need to be more of a challenge.  Alas, when they can one shot you or ruin your gear with one hit, why would you implement them when game mechanics are so screwed up?

 

Loot:  What loot?  I have found some stuff; know the nice places to get ammo, PM63, etc.  I have not even seen a box of matches and food is *very* hard to find.  While trying to pick apples from a tree that shows dozens of them, I died of starvation.  Cannot go fishing or hunting because I cannot make a fire; no damn matches!  Either implement other ways to start a fire(rubbing sticks together, magnifying glass, 10% water in a bottle, etc) or make the matches more available!

 

Yes, the zombies are difficult, and that's part of the game.  I can take them down with bare fists and not sustain too many blows.  That's fine.  What sucks is I cannot cook food that I hunt.  If I can even get equipped to hunt/fish before dying from starvation under an apple tree that has apples all over it.

 

Yes, alpha this, alpha that.  Stop being unfair in forums and deleting/locking topics like you do.  People don't like to be controlled and rendered unable to express their frustrations to a company that has made a LOT of money from them and shows sluggish progress as a result.  Don't force persistence that does *not* work.  Have apples readily available on trees; they don't fill you up much anyhow, but at least a ratio where you don't die of starvation while trying to pick some would be nice.

 

I have almost 500 hours on DayZ.  Was that time completely wasted due to the devs intentionally making the game unplayable for most by implementing absolutely broken changes?  At least make this playable!

 

And yes, I know there are those who say they love it like this; that's great for you!  You are maybe 25% of the player base of DayZ.  Shouldn't the 75% MAJORITY have their say as well?

Stop. Im tired of reading threads about how bad the game is all the sudden.

You are the 5% of the player base that critiques everything the devs do and think that this is a finished game and it should be no bugs and all perfect.

 

If you dont like the game like it is right now, dont play it and come back later.

It doesn't get deleted it just gets moved to the appropriate place: The Graveyard!

1: Tents do work now. Since this update!

2: You can light a fire with more than matches. Hint: Try road flares.

Funny, considering we are much more than 5%.  Get off your high horse and take an English course; it would do you good.

 

As for bugs, the devs KNEW the loot system was absolutely crap, but forced it on everyone anyhow.  Maybe if they had fixed it before forcing it things would be different?

 

Frankly, I'm tired of seeing people put others down for expressing their opinions!  If YOU don't like it, don't go to the forums!  I'll play what I choose to!  You have absolutely no right to put down people for expressing their personal opinion.

I have just stopped reading them... This one's my last

 

Edit: And I didn't even read more then One sentence. I'm also tired of people crying because they now feel like zeds are a threat and everything is so boring because it's so hard now to find the AK's and all the high military-grade weapons, so they can't play the game like CoD anymore.

 

It's a zombie survival game/simulator.

What on earth are you talking about?? Look at the 'recent topics' list, there are several topics right now, open and runing, that basically says nothing but '.55 is bad, you broke the game'.

 

We also happen to have an actual discussion topic for the patch, but some people like to 'be seen' more, especially those who claim their opinion is The Truth^tm.

I believe they implemented the loot economy this early because they need data so they can change it and experimental isn't going to cut it. They need people to play like they would on stable. Most just join the experimental and look at the cool stuff and log off.

Plus this lets all players get used to the new way of life and we will look back on this update and say, "If we could survive .55, we can survive this patch."

Each of these posts equals one less coast rat and one less player posting in exp about the new stuff they found that has actually been in the game for over a month

Who are you to tell someone who has logged over 500 hours into this alpha (speaking about OP) to quit the game for now when he merely critiques it and vents his frustrations? Of course it's important to keep a positive vibe since the game is still in development, but I agree with OP in the sense that feedback - positive or negative - should be taken into consideration. After all, players who have over 500 hours of playtime probably like the game dispite of its flaws and just want to see it get better in the future..

Yea, I don't know how no one knows how. People are asking if they will implement another way to do it in the loot economy topic and it even seems like Eugene doesn't know about it because he is just saying they are thinking of other ways.

[sea 18]

For clarification, I'm not trying to sit and whine.  I'm GLAD PvP is much more difficult as I did not buy this game to PvP.  Frankly, I was sick of fully geared folks running around killing people, and the zombies are refreshingly more of a threat.

 

What bothers me is with the current nature of the zombies to glitch through walls and doors; hit you through stairways from a floor below.  Or those that hit you 5 times before you even SEE them!  Why make them more powerful when there are longstanding glitches like these?

 

As for food, it's now the #1 thing to look for.  If your graphics show apple trees that are full of apples, make it realistic to pick them!  I've never encountered an apple tree that was full of apples but impossible to pick from.

 

I'm still playing, and surviving longer each time, it seems.  Alas, I'm tired of dying of starvation while staring at a loaded fruit tree.

[star-lord252 83]

It sounds a lot like your whining but they will fix these things like they did with that hotfix update in .54(or .53) I like these zombies now more people are helping each other we are killing zombies instead of players though I really don't care about kos I do it sometimes I go as a bandits as well and zombies are actually a real challenge now. The only things I don't like as much is how some of the old weapons don't kill zombies as easy anymore like the fire axe and how when a zombie hits you it doesn't swing somstimes like the old one did, it sometimes just rams you but these can be easily changed or fixed. I think the food is invisible I've been gathering road flares and killing boars lately.

Thanks for the tip about road flares. Unfortunately they are just as rare as matches. Maybe its time to replace the useless flashlight with a lighter.
