Dying

[paradox666 1]

Before I start yes I understand this is an Alpha so don't tell me that please.

Since I started playing this game, over 40 hours ago I have died once.. ONCE from another person. I have died about 10 times from bugs. Either I fly off a building and hit the ground and die or Lie down on top of a building and fall off and die or open a door and die etc etc.

So my question is why is Rocket adding things such as temperature (which I very much dislike) instead of fixing things like the walls of buildings attacking me?

Flying off a building should kill you. Are you using the Q and E while prone? Sounds like it.

And the door bug is pretty bad, but funny also. Just be careful when you open and close doors.

I've played maybe 80 hours combined, and only died from one bug... glitching off a ladder. Obviously there are bugs, but it hasn't effected me all that much to be honest.

[paradox666 1]

No I'm not using Q and E (although I did once, I learnt my lesson)... True the door bug is quite funny but the hilarity of dying leaves me when I realise I've spent six hours getting gear...

I know it can be frustrating, but understand it is alpha, and dying is part of this game. I actually like to kill myself after gathering too much stuff because the game becomes too serious for me. It feels refreshing to shed the gear and just start over.

Approach the game as if dying is inevitable, and I've found it is much more fun. I'm sure Rocket and crew will eventually iron out some of the annoying bugs.

Here is me shedding some weight;

I understand I'm going to die.. It just always happens in shit ways and ALWAYS as I start to get decent gear!

Why is he adding things instead of fixing things?

Check the patch notes' date=' things are getting fixed.

[i']* [FIXED] Climbing a ladder with a pistol will cause you to fall

In this mods current stage in it's development cycle, features are given a higher priorty than 'polishing' or minor bug fixing as this allows it to evolve and features to be tried/tested and generally played around with.

I'm going to have to direct you to THIS thread for further reading.

If you need to kill yourself, your character needs help.

It can be frustrating but honestlly the most fun is usually first few hours of your char... after a couple days its rather boring unless your running with a crew/group/squad.

Only time ive really been like WTF!!!OMG! SOB!! was when I fully kitted and was fending off a wave of Zs with full health and had taken down a large number of them and feeling victorious when one warped throught the wall next to me and 1 hit knocked me out cold... I was speachless... then pissed... then did the "its Alpha" *sigh* and started again :)

The whole point of alpha is new features.

Beta is bug-crunching, and generally when no new features come about. Hence why it is the most horrible thing imaginable.

Real life is tough. Then you play Day Z.

Also it should be noted that more people die from Ladders, Falls, and Doors than lightning, sharks, bees, and rabies a year, combined.
