Im done for now

[Miragenz 71]

Happend to me once in the barracks at NWAF, just survived some crazy shit and i was laughing my ass off, crawling through the barracks when i opened a door and died.

Eventually you will stop caring anyways, i've died so many times now due to so many stupid reasons, or stupid players for that matter that i dont care about dying anymore.

Not that i go kamikaze rambo everywhere, but if i happen to die i just respawn and not really care.

Who bought Arma2 to play Arma2? Almost noone. So it wasnt free. But I understand what you mean.

I did :P

Anyways, the people that bought Arma 2 for Day Z still can't really complain. It's their own fault. They shouldn't have spent money to get a mod that's still in it's alpha stages if they're the type to get upset about bugs. Even rocket has said not to buy Arma 2 unless you actually want Arma 2 haha.

You will get a bugfree game someday. So you dont threw your money away. I just hope at that time there will still be people playing this mod :P

Pro-tip: Posting a 'Goodbye' thread here, for whatever reason you have for leaving, will result in "DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YOUR ASS ON THE WAY OUT!" messages from the atypical citizens of this forum. You've probably noticed these already. So in future, remember to just not post anything, ever, anywhere, it's the best way to avoid being flamed/trolled.

I totally get why you're giving the game a break, I'm doing the same until things become more stable and less hack-central.

[septuscap 42]

doors are only a danger if you're stupid enough to let them open through you.

It's emblematic of ALL environmental interaction in the game though. Arma is broken (and insanely hackable). It's sad that DayZ, a great game, is being fucked because the devs of ArmA couldn't fix blatant issues THREE YEARS AFTER RETAIL.

[MastaOfDisasta 30]

I've been doing that. It doesnt work 100% of the time, or when people put wire around its. Its a bug - sometimes its unavoidable.

In addition, its illogical, it shouln't be a problem in the game.

I've opened many many doors in my time. I haven't been hurt by a door since the first time I broke my legs on an outhouse. it's realyl difficult to be hit by a door when you open them at max range and move out the way. Really difficult.

[SadPanda (DayZ) 181]

I've never had any incidents with doors.

I guess I'm too pro at this game.

[omgwtfbbq (DayZ) 1069]

So I've been playing this mod for a few weeks now (almost 3), and I have to say, its really good. The mechanics are solid, the gameplay is good, and the technical back-end is fairly solid. However, im quitting for one reason, and one reason only:

The doors. They kill you.

This is the fourth time its happened. I'll spend a few hours getting gear, playing for a few days - hey, I even found a truck this time - , and I'll get to NWAF. I'll head to the barracks to try and get some of that 'awesome' gear. I'll hit "open door", the door will open, it touches me, breaks my legs, starts making me bleeding, and then kills me, all within a second or two.

I bug-reported this, and there's been no change. Yes, some people have said 'this is an Arma bug'. That's cool, but its not cool when dying to a door causes you to loose lots and lots of gear, with no way of getting it back. And im sure its easily fixable - just give the doors a no-clip property. The zombies already have this (somehow).

I'm fine with vehicles breaking easily, im fine with people sniping - all of that is part of the game. I like how the game is hard, and how its got 'perma-death' for characters. It makes the game fun, exciting, and challenging. Its all cool. However, its not OK when you get killed by stuff that makes no sense. Getting killed by doors is insane.

I'll come back when its fixed, or I might even play a bit every now and then with friends. However, I dont see the point of continuing when the most trivial stuff will kill me.

/edit

Some people will say "its an alpha" or "its a pre-alpha". That's cool. I've done some game design myself (google my username if you must), and I know what it's like to have crazy bugs in your stuff. However, people have been reporting this for a while. In addition, the latest 'bug-fixes' have been mostly non-critical. You SHOULD be working to get the general concept of the game working, before getting smaller aspects working (like having a DayZ loading screen or logo).

So yea, when its fixed, I'll be back.

/edit 2

To those who say "just be careful". That's cool. I have been, but we all make mistakes (or the game bugs). Im not whining about some mistake I made - like getting sniped, or owned by zombies. The fact is, thid SHOULD NOT happen. There is absolutely zero logic to being killed by doors - and this is my complaint.

yeah i got falcon punched by a port-o-potty a while ago, found no morphine and got shot by some asshole.

[Maroite 48]

Protip: open doors then move out of the way, everyone has had their legs broken once or twice when we were new to the game, if you've managed to do it 4 times and still haven't learnt then you aren't the brightest crayon in the box, simple at that.

Priceless. Someone spelling the word "learned" as "learnt" claiming that someone else isn't the brightest crayon.

except it isn't, and emblematic isn't what you mean. arma2 is injectable by design, that doesn't mean it is broken, it means it isn't the best engine for this type of game.

clue.

I don't get it, having faulty grammar one time makes you a stupid person or what?

[CQ2 2]

Nevermind the doors, LADDERS!! :P The number of times i've tried to climb a ladder only to fall to my death by breaking and spraining everything then bleeding out.

Whilst it and the other bugs do get frustrating, the game isn't finished. I simply log my feedback on the forums and move along (the ground cos I don't do ladders anymore, and no I haven't accidentally hit drop)

- Oh and on the topic of grammar, remember that some people are dyslexic. Whilst being intelligent they can struggle to accurately type/ write what they're thinking. I've started to notice it myself which is worrying.

"learnt" is actually the past participle.

"learned" is an adjective.

the more you know! (the less you look like a tool when you try to correct someone)
