DayZ ENDGAME - Cars and Bases - what of it?

[0.64 Freerider 261]

Hi,

DayZ currently offers 2 endgame-goal-features: Cars and Bases. But they're not really working, are they? So as we've learned in this lovely "DayZ in 2020"-article, we will get alot of stability, bug-fixing and improvements and "some new small-scale content"

So as it stands, if we can't have Helicopters, can't have Bows, can't have Ragdoll, won't get Two-way doors, nor be able to Carry Characters, see Contaminated Areas, or be able to Color Items, or any of the other things you've promised to us Bohemia, can we at least expect this barebones DayZ to function properly with it's two endgame goals?

Without having to worry about a car despawning that you have worked hours to build and collect for, because it's physics fuck up when a server gets restarted, a bug that has been assigned on the "Feedback Tracker" on May 23 2019, 12:55 PM?

Without people being able to break into every base in a matter of minutes?

I assume there are less then 10 people working on DayZ right now. They knowingly ignored my request for an official statement. As always we can only hope for the best, but I'm kind of done with hope when it comes to DayZ.

since i got this game in january, i haven't been able to play properly once. most of the features, basebuilding, car, loot, inventory (etc) are broken, we spend our life looking for stuff to lose everything because of a bug, i paid 50€+ livonia for a finished game l'm not beta tester i don't necessarily put the blame on the devs. Is the guys like @unclezed that always take you out (private server) to fix the problems with the games I'll tell you something I don't like private servers I never play on them no matter what game people like me play there's plenty of them, the first time I played I went official like everyone else I've ever played with, the reason there's plenty of them one of the reasons I don't play is that if you pay more for your server I lose everything.  It's a scam, this game's a disguised scam.

we can not shoot in the car, no defense base, objects that are useless like the truck battery it would be asking too much to remove it from the loot its been months that it is there, is full of other problem , it's cool a helicopter but I don't think it is necessary, on the other hand, a bike would not be refused

Base defence need :  Shields for tankhttps://images.app.goo.gl/baLhFceMdsxcD4zA6 auto turret for défend https://images.app.goo.gl/mxrQ4b31qzge4Ke39 auto turret use (generator, fuel, cable etc for work)

DayZ has always been glitchy, lacking content and slow to develop (except for version .62). I have fun with it anyway, I just hope that a good amount of the promised features makes it into the game someday. I am kind of scared about the whole situation with only broken limbs and stability promised for this year, along with it being called post launch support.

Car or base or both are for sure the "endgame" but most important thing should be for all players, the Journey towards for their endgame.

I can tolerate all the bugs. I want something done about all the god damn hackers on official servers. It's 2020, how the hell is this even an issue?

It's an issue because nobody is administering the official servers.  If you don't want to deal with hackers, don't play on official servers.

[pepSy_Jones 3]

I've considered it. Just don't really have the time to search out the good ones.

Why would it being 2020 have anything to do with people finding ways to hack a game? What, did we suddenly hit a completely different phase of human existence in which humanity finally realized it's more fulfilling to play a game correctly instead of allowing an easy out? No? Didn't think so. World of Warcraft has been out for 15 years and to this day there are people who look for ways to exploit the game, run bots that farm items for them, and glitch their way into areas they're not supposed to be. It's not a DayZ thing, it's a human being thing, so give the Devs a break. They're not saints, but they can't put an end all solution in the game that will solve this that hackers won't find a way to get around.

As for your second problem of being unable to find a server that's good? They're out there but it honestly depends on what you're looking for. Here, shameless plug to the one i'm currently playing on and promoting. The population is low, but the admin puts a lot of heart into this server and to be honest, i'll stick around just for that. It's hard to find an active community server and an admin that listens to his community on things like what mods to add, what mods to keep off, and what needs to be tweaked.

Ok, firstly let's address this statement right here. DayZ endgame is what you make of it. Bases are not really an end game thing, they're a time sink. Not everyone wants to build a base and run around with freaking Devils Castle fortified and locked down. Cars are more of a mid game and again, they're not a requirement for you to experience the 'end game' however they do make the base building much easier, so i'd say they go hand in hand. End game in DayZ is literally whatever you want to make it and that's the beauty of a sandbox game. If you want to be a nomad and roam around killing people and taking their stuff, go do it. If you want to set up a tent somewhere and live like a hermit in the woods, then go do it. If you want to be a rescue ranger and hop from server to server trying to save people and keep them alive, do it.

I'm going to give a shout-out to the modding community here. They're doing Gods work. Most games that run these days actually get things added to them through the modding community that the Developers will not or can not add themselves. This isn't just a DayZ issue, it's just how it is. With that said, you might want to look into the modding community for some of the things you're looking for because they're out there.

1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3ZkoTyek3c&feature=emb_logo
2. https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1656458568
3. There's a mod for this, I just can't for the life of me find it.
4. I know other people have had them but I personally in the entire time I have played this game (which has been since release) have never had a flying car issue before. One of my Aussie friends goes under ground when he gets out of a vehicle, but I don't. His car bounces sometimes, mine does not. We've chalked this up to his latency versus mine because that's the only explanation for the problem and the differences.
5. Again, we don't have this issue since they fixed it in 1.06(ish)? I literally hide my cars in static buildings such as barns and while previously those bastards would glitch out and go airborne, lately, no complaints.
6. I'm going to be blunt. If you don't like this, try a modded server. There are mods that fix this. Until the time you choose to fix the problem yourself it's going to remain.

That's not really fair to the Developers by any means at all. Why would you expect a game developer to personally acknowledge your statements on any medium? Furthermore, why would you get upset when they didn't acknowledge you at all? I mean that's striking below the belt considering you asked them for an Official statement when all you've done is purchase their game. That's a bit pretentious if I may say so myself.

[pepSy_Jones 3]

The game has been around for almost a decade and so have the hacks for it. One would think 7-8 years would be enough time to eradicate said hacks. THAT was my point dude, not sure why you're getting all defensive as if you're on the Dev team.

[Uncle Zed 272]

Why do people want an endgame? It's a sandbox survival game...

With all due respect, but I don't see how it is for you to say what should be the most important thing to all players.

all I've done is purchase their game...what else does it take honestly? Not least bit pretentious, because that is how it works. I purchase goods of ANY kind, I have the right to file a complaint.

Just remember- People bitch the most about things they really love when they see something not right about it... not because they do not like it- but because they like it so much that they are willing to spend the extra bit of there time to explain what they see wrong with it.

If you want to see who and how many people are working on Dayz, load the game to the main menu and click on "credits"

If you have not realized- the game Is STILL in production, and adding 2 and 2 together you would understand that the production is running out of money. 

NOW- How they manage that money, would be more of the people you might want to bring to the forfront- not the devs.

In total- Either wait and see for 2-3 more years and maybe get livonia to help out, or help out constructivly in the forums with (not new content) but simple and logical solutions to problems found..   Not as easy as it sounds so it may be a HELL of a challenge for you to complete if you can.
