DayZ in a nutshell

[tunedbeats 0]

Why are you even here james1?

All you do is complain, and not even constructive criticism.

It's like walking into a toys-r-us and complaining there are toys everywhere.

Get a life please.

Wow' date=' I don't enjoy endorsing interwebz speak... but cry more... seriously. Unsure if troll.

If the game isn't for you, then move on, don't post about it like you matter. You're not going to change the way it behaves by whining, when plenty of others praise the mod as the best thing since sliced bread.

If it ain't your cup of tea, don't order it again... Don't bitch at the other patrons because you made a choice that didn't suit you.

Expecting an Alpha to have the same attributes as a AAA title is just... I don't even... Said who to what now?

Any reply of "herpaderp", pretty much proves the person you were replying to as correct.

"AAA Title". Pretty sure a ton of mods have more features then walk around and find shit. Crafting would be cool, shit to actually make you want to scout other then guns. Because as I'm sure we all know killing people in a game automatically makes you a cod n00b.

Yes, and those mods are *gasp* fully fleshed out and have progressed out of Alpha! This mod is in it's infancy, and is updated weekly (something which we should all be very, very, thankful for). New features and bug fixes are added all of the time, if you look at the slate of stuff Rocket has said he's interested in implementing... there'll be much more to do once this mod progresses out of Alpha.

Regardless, if you can't find an objective in a game that puts the objective squarely in the player's hands... then I don't know what to tell you. I scout for game to hunt, people scrounge for medical supplies, kill, sneak, raid, build, etc. There are a ton of things to do in this game as it stands, so I don't know where you get that from. Sure, it's slow-er paced, but that's what creates tension and makes your in-game life something to be protected and valued.

If all you're doing is "walking around and finding shit", two things. One, you're missing out on a ton of the actual "Stuff" that's available to you in the mod. Two, how is it really that different from any other open-world game or even a FPS?

CoD, you walk around and find players to shoot at. BF3, you fly around and find players to shoot at. Red Dead Redemption, you gallop around and find other NPC's to shoot at. EvE Online, you space-fly around and find other players to screw over. I think you're having too general of an experience, and thus missing out on the depth of the mod.

More like Spawn, spend 7 hours on a guy, leave, come back online bleeding for noreason, die, log back in, run 20 minutes to body, loot body, oh wait loot isn't working now, server goes down. bye bye 7 hours of your life to a crappy server.

Meanwhile Goonsquad: dupe.

Yea , yea, yea, alpha. Doesn't take from the fact that the server system is balls D: I love this game. I want to play this game. but I cannot. I think I'll help you roll out 1.5.8 and stop playing til I can freely join and leave servers without fear of loosing hours of gameplay.

Flame away. IDC.

You're still the man Rocket. Servers need adressed be for patchs and fixes imo.

I don't think anyone will disagree that the servers need work, if you can find someone who's content with the overall health/efficiency of the servers... then be my guest.

You're right, it being an alpha doesn't take away from the fact that the server system is "Balls".

It does, however, detract from the fact that you're worried about losing things you've earned in a mod that is in the TESTING phase. You're not supposed to be amassing things you care about. Hell, I'm pretty sure Rocket put up a disclaimer somewhere saying you're liable to lose your characters at any time. So why are you angry that these things are taken away from you? Expecting an alpha mod to preserve something that you're not guaranteed to keep, or go off smoothly, is just silly.

Again, the servers need work. But it doesn't really make sense when you want them to work only so that you can keep your shit... in a mod that's nigh a month old... still in alpha... and constantly being worked on and tweaked.

Maps should be 50% common in Supermarkets..

[Samoflan 3]

If you aren't having fun walking, exploring, hunting, searching. There are a 100 other games that allow you to join and just start shooting. This is finally a mod the rewards those players who like to wander and have patients.

Spawn' date=' walk, walk, find a bunch of shit, get shot, spawn, walk, shoot a guy, become bandit, get shot, you're fucked for the rest of the game because you have a bandit skin. Quit while you can.

[/quote']

Was in Elektro killing bandits, was about to loot one when the Bandit's survivor buddy peaked around a corner whiffing winchester rounds towards me, so I turned around and put a hole in his head. Made me a bandit.

Know what I did?

I disappeared. Hit the forest, did some very careful looting runs on smaller targets, got back up to 2500 humanity without many hiccups.

Just me smart. You can't run around where ever you want like this is some generic FPS.

You're right you can't. But it just seems as if I'm 90% unlucky. I lost all my shit once in the middle of nowhere up north because 2 bandits were camping in a medical tent and I needed pills.

Shit happens

[DaPessimist 1]

Sounds like the OP wants some NPC's with little ?'s over their heads that tell you to go kill 10 Wolves. That game already exists homie, go play it.

People without imaginations don't last long in sandbox games.

Alpha:dodgy:

Even if you survive, there isn't anything fun to do other then walk around and shoot at zombies and/or the occasional player who has a better gun then you do. Not even core game mechanics to sustain 7100 player base.

So don't play!

[RagingJenni 2]

You can break any game into sounding stupid.

CoD: Spawn,shoot, run, get shot, spawn again and do the same thing except this time shot the guy who shot you, rinse and repeat.

WoW: Quest, kill, loot.

I don't want the results, I want the journey.^^

What do you have against Stalker?

[thomas.bowyer@hotmail.co.uk 25]

This game is too hard for you.

quit.

please.

can do with less crybabies.

learn to adapt. learn to survive. YOU c hose the path of the bandit. nobody else. you pulled the trigger

[Lulu! 3]

Get over it, we all die and I hate it too! When I think about it if I didn't die I wouldn't be so happy to live.. If I wasn't so happy to live I wouldn't be as careful and I'd run around being stupid. If I ran around being stupid the game would be like L4D, therefor bandits are a good thing!

Dying is good, walking is good, the game is good. (and I feel safe waiting for server response. <3)

Then go play Stalker if thats a better game for you.

Why do you so desperatly want this game to be something it's not?

[Hyroshi 0]

You can make anything in life sound boring. Sex? Foreplay, clothes off, foreplay, foreplay, get her off, get you off, done...

zZz right?

[Evilsausage 87]

It think the mod is great. Love exploaring and the tension when i hear shots fired close by.

I also love the rewarding pvp, manged to kill a guy that had a m4 carbine with all kinds of modifications on it. And he had a shitload of other good stuff.

But unlike other games, even with my new gear i still have to be extreamly careful. Since even a guy with a makarov can kill me if he sneaks up on me.

I actually really care about my character now, something i don't do in other games.

Love it since its so hardcore, so tired of all the games that are so forgiving.

Like many have said. Its only Alpha so far.

The think I hope for the most is more random encounters and drops in the wilderness. Also want a solution to people just leaving instantly if they are about to die.
