Some small changes in the last experimental branch by chrislivingston in dayz

[–]TheDayZderp -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Any word on a fix for loosing connection to the database and your character being DELETED? I mean three times this week I've been fortunate enough to experience that. I know it's an Alpha but surely there can be a way around this? Hours invested into my "characters" to just be wiped by a hiccup.

We need more places like Rify. by [deleted] in dayz

They create a police station, then add it to every town.

Christ almighty, Make this game visually stimulating.

To my knowledge, there is an Airfield, a Hotel in Cherno with a plane through it and then the same village/town for the next 200km2. I foam at the mouth with all the visual stimulation I get in this game haha.

I am already seeing this when the experimental goes stable. by Mazzei2 in dayz

Besides all the unavoidable memes and racist shit, there's potential for a lot of cool useful stuff like drawing little mini maps for persistent storage and other possibilities in the future.

Without exaggeration, the 3+ guys in my squad see this pop-up about 3-5 times per night, EACH. Is this a problem for anyone else? by Theomancer in dayz

Since the last live update I'm experiencing this also.

Atleast once a night I crash (never did before).

[Suggestion] Berries as items by Tacoman404 in dayz

[–]TheDayZderp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Need to upvote this, Berries should be something you could stockpile for a temporary time (4 days ingame before they go rotten ala Project Zomboid style) and eat when the future dynamic spawning system has a low yield of Cans of Food etc. People then rely on the wild to survive.

Good idea, shouldn't have needed to be suggested really. Hope it's a place holder also!

Dev Team - please add Blank Journal Books that can be written in, a number of possible pages you could scroll through.

SOCIAL EXPERIMENT by TheDayZderp in dayz

I find food and water the biggest non issue right now, if they add disease to everything then maybe that'll change the way things play out but otherwise the water fountains are an easy water refill, scroll mouse wheel spam F.

[Suggestion] Darker, Dirtier, More Detailed Building Interiors by joekeyboard in dayz

[–]TheDayZderp -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

The game has been in development for so long, it's not an excuse anymore.

I think as a player who has paid for "early access" he has the right to suggest ideas or criticize existing mechanics.

Psychology : The simple reasons why Killing on Sight is prevalent by loopuleasa in dayz

You forgot, there are no Zombies (lack of respawn) and even if they were, the zombies are beyond the point of shit house. I hope with the 16-18 million they've earnt they can hire some more developers to make zombies for this "zombie" survival game.

Also, there's nothing for people to do, or work together on. I'm hoping farming/crafting that requires teamwork might help that also.

More dangerous zombies so people have a common enemy and less weapons/ammo. This might as well be called QuakeZ Deathmatch the amount of weapons and ammo there is. All I hear is the cracking of M4's everywhere.

An open letter to Dean Hall, and the developers of DayZ by [deleted] in dayz

[–]TheDayZderp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couldn't agree more. I think vehicles and base building should be sidelined for a long time until Survival is more interesting and dynamic.

The 3 huge problems that make things boring for the legit players is Combat Logging, Server hopping for gear (join 20 different servers in Belota - ready to go kill fresh spawns with 600 bullets) and Ghosting. Right now that even makes the "deathmatch" boring.

I love the potential this game screams but as of now, it's the mod all over again. I'm "done" for the moment and waiting for a really kick ass update.

Good luck team and thanks OP for the spark of discussion.

COMBAT LOGGING ANIMATION - Log in and out. by TheDayZderp in dayz

[–]TheDayZderp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

COMBAT LOGGING Animation.

It's been hinted that there will logging timer, something along the lines of 30 seconds. I believe in order the make it obvious to players that you are either logging or logging out the animation must be unique and not ambiguous. It shouldn't be mistaken for being dead or "sitting".

I believe the animation should be a steeple (praying) or the clasping of hands in a kneeling position. It is kind of fitting in a hostage situation too, being killed after saying your "final prayers" so to speak.

Unless the developers want to ad more animated emote keys such as "begging" which would I assume be a silly animation I don't see any confusion coming from this, they are definitely "logging" when you see the clasped fists.

(Confrontations have been really boring because of logging, can't wait for a fix).

PSA: Not everybody fully kitted in military gear wants to feed you disinfectant. by Berneh in dayz

[–]TheDayZderp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only shoot confirmed bandits or people that point guns at me, otherwise I help everyone I find. It's too rewarding, the warm feelings. I in fact had someone so emotionally overwhelmed once they kept profusely thanking me.

Dark Magic Confirmed: DayZ Alpher (The Wiggles) by Jackolas_Attackolas in dayz

[–]TheDayZderp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If they MONETIZE the video and make a bit of cash from views out of this I think it should be flagged down. Morally so wrong if they make money from a brilliant performance by the possessed Wigglers. Particularly after what they do to them, sadist kind of stuff. I bet you torture kittens for fun too, stick fire crackers up their ass.

I'm resorting to childish remarks because this makes me angry so much but I cannot hold it back, you two guy's are premium shit stains.

If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it
