this is absolutely necessary.. the raincoat has always been beyond useless in the standard maps

they definitely need an 'in menu' mic test in the game - nothing worse than finding out your mic isn't working only after someone kills you for being a no mic'er!

Seems a good idea... i'd add to include a SHIFT-click to complement the CTRL-click... where ctrl-click drops items with one click, shift-click could pick them up with one click. The double clicking is so screwed up and often fails to the point players end up resorting to click, drag and drop instead

More noises are good... but many of them really don't need to be quite as loud as they already are!

I do that in real life if i run down the stairs ;)

That's a really cool idea. It is funny that the game intro revolves so heavily around the radio and yet it serves little purpose to most players in the base game.

They could certainly all smoke

Funnily enough i noticed this yesterday but put it down to the fact i was playing a server where you need to remove a bag to access it's contents. My bandages were hotkeyed but in a cooking pot in my bag. Other hotkeyed items from the bag would go back but i had to manually remove the bag and pot to replace the bandages.

You have two options to choose from for servers, from the server browser when you start the game: Official and Community.

What's your GPU?

Yeah it's defo the case with hills in Chernarus and anywhere north of Svergino is quite high up... never noticed any real difference on Livonia though? I would still like to see some snowy areas if only to make use of the white hunter gear, and let's face it, who wouldn't want more underground areas?

^^ this would only really make sense if the higher tier areas were also much colder, which to be fair would not be a bad thing. You could set them more northerly, on snow covered mountaintops or deep underground which would add much more variety to the otherwise dull and tired official maps. Make the lower tier areas much warmer and high geared players would have problems to solve to go there too.

by abusing you mean using...

I've read the OP's posts multiple times now and am still no closer to understanding them. It just proves that whoever invented punctuation had very good reason to do so.

Rather than a constant fog on the coast, there should be random chance based on the weather conditions to have haze along the coast in the pre-dawn to early-mornings. Once the sun has been out this haze should complete burn off just as it would IRL.

you could add a really cool effect where you can hear buzzing and muddy game sounds before you fully wake up?

i had a pack of silent wolves greet me at a water pump yesterday

I have no idea how it works on consoles, but on PC Steam you have an option to join the game that your friend is actually playing.

just pretend you died and had to respawn... problem solved

i never realised that... crazy to think they don't add any protection

yep, if you can't walk through them you should at least be able to climb/stand on or jump over them

This noise indicator should just flash, move like a graphic equaliser or turn a different colour when talking... talking is louder than a footstep after all and a noise indicator should be just that - not a movement indicator

could definitely be toned down some

"we were unable to reproduce a situation that relogging would not fix."

there certainly needs to be an audible prompt for when food is cooked

Been like this ever since i've been playing Dayz - thought it was an intended stealthy gameplay mechanic, at least players use it as such and it certainly doesn't require 'fixing'

yeah you won't respawn next to your friend... just in the same spawn town... and you can do away with the friend and barrel and just load up with grenades yourself, drop/throw one and run on without dying already if that's how you want to play

... what do you think feedback is lol?

swap items between your old backpack on the floor and the new one you just picked up.

those zombie fingers are amazingly strong when they slap you, can literally demolish metal beneath your clothes - also extremely sharp, despite appearances, leaving you with huge gaping wounds... quite incredible really ;)

insta kill on my buddy yesterday - full health with plate in full health

Yeah i guess once the sounds of eating, shivering, light groans, lip smacking, belly growling, bandaging, unscrewing a bottle cap are no longer audible to your neighbours two doors down in the middle of a thunderstorm then we can look at the over suppression effect of suppressors... or just accept that no fun game mechanic is ever realistic, nor can it ever be ;)

... and here i was thinking it was based on steam friends lists, but i guess that would make too much sense .... smh

consistency please

very good points

a very odd decision by the programmers then

these trucks managed any hill in the game when they were first introduced... were the only vehicle that could climb most hills without a runup... very strange that the vehicles people own can't actually drive the roads in their neighbourhood lol

There are two types of vehicles in dayz. There are wrecks which just like buildings are scenery and/or loot spawns and there are working cars that may or may not be missing a battery/spark plug/radiator/water/fuel/doors/wheels. Wrecks are everywhere, working vehicles are rare and unless moved by another player are found/spawn in a select few places.

There was a recent update to windows defender which screwed with battleye driver signing... Local Security Authority Protection, i think... could it be something to do with this?

yeah is a bit stupid that they can slap you until you bleed out... dunno why the devs can't make a bite animation for them

yep definitely needed... so much could be done while in a car it seems weird that nearly all controls are disabled, especially for reading maps, weapon firing, eating/drinking and accessing inventory

yep, definitely needed... as is the ability to put full bags/backpacks in the car storage

Then you have to split servers for each generation - old gen players have paid for the game after all and the technical requirements of the game haven't changed since it was released. Also the mid gen pro versions with SSD's seemed to handle the game quite happily with the only problem being the server desynch which happens regardless of which gen you are playing on. Then of course Bohemia will have to start working on and selling a new version of the game specifically for new gen consoles otherwise you are still playing the same game anyway ;)

If you're gonna go down that rabbit hole then gloves should also absorb blood and dirt and be a breading ground for germs (more so than bare hands imo) and require removal or thorough cleaning (boil washing) before eating.

... and keep the lock on the gate rather than it falling to the floor

just add a memory, one click open option for people who have entered the pass code correctly once before - it's so simple

if ammo is scarce on a server then being able to craft/reuse bolts means the crossbow is already OP regardless of raiding

^^ this is playstation, nothing to do with PC or Steam

doesn't the explosive come with its own detonator already?

as dumb as they can be at times they not only know every entrance or exit into/out of any building but they also know whether they are open or not without even seeing them.

read the patch notes

far better idea is to enable worms to be stacked and find 5 when you dig for them... wanna go for even more realism let us dig for worms with our hands just like is possible in real life

you haven't by any chance changed a keybind?

please no

what it a fix that might come in useful for others in similar circumstances?

The check pulse mechanic is in and of itself totally unnecessary anyway. It's of zero relevance ever to know someone else's blood pressure.

Even if point 2 is a bug it needs to stay. Genius!

read the patch notes when updates come out and you'll see the blowtorch is now used to fix engines

probably this: Fixed: Spawning objects with _DE-suffix by Object Spawner could result in them being duplicated with every server restart

yeah it's stupid, as is ruining 'the' spark plug... just busting the radiator should be enough

Imagine none of the guns in the game actually work and someone said what the game really needs is another gun that isn't going to work...

more likely a case of playing on a distant server with high ping, choose a closer one with low ping... oh wait you can't cos devs don't think ping is important enough to show console players lol

^ but he has purchased and is playing a game specifically made for and marketed at the system he is playing it on...

my meat just goes straight on the floor

Does that test on console measure the connection between you and the particular server you are playing on? Because that is all that matters.

i'd have thought increased head bob in zoom when sprinting or crouch running would be more effective and immersive

would be easier and safer to use the emergency hatch surely?

weird, my cpu barely goes above 5%... i always thought the game was heavily gpu dependant

tried another launcher?

seen that on other maps too

Weird, same here, just started happening after a restart having a few hours play without issues

would also be nice if the game didn't insist on putting matches in cooking pots full of water

build another gate that will push him out again?

Have a look at this: Illness and afflictions

Also alphabetical order should only start with the first/last letter of the alphabet, not a number, not a symbol, both of which should be ignored.

What you on about? Australia would be a great addition!

desync, he was holding a weapon on his end, you just didn't see it

mouse and keyboard players have far more competitive advantages than inventory management, controller only servers exist for that reason

I guess if your official tab only shows experimental/unstable servers then you're running experimental, but yeah you'd think it wouldn't be too difficult to write Experimental on the launcher somewhere

a common bug, happens randomly, has existed for years

did you build and place a shelter kit first?

there's been a general problem with using those stairs fullstop for some time now, let alone while aiming

yeah, can't understand people's complaints that the footwraps were too OP. All they really were was a form of going barefoot but using your rags in advance rather than afterwards. Basically a form of preparing in advance for something you might use later.

I don't think it's your problem but i experienced similar the other day and took the uninst/reinst steps to try and fix it no avail. I could load into servers, run about for between 30 seconds and a couple of minutes, then the sound would cut out and quite soon after the game would hang, along with Steam and server browser, just showing a static screen. PC was very slow and unresponsive and the mouse would be unusable too so had to use keyboard to navigate task manager to force quit.

I'd have thought that exactly the reason anyone would wear body armor to begin with?

why would you even go through quick menu when a mag can be loaded directly from inventory just by holding the reload button?

Plus the inventory stays open when stacking on PC currently...

The game has always behaved this way and it is by design.

Should be able to cook potatoes in fires/ovens IN their skins. As any kid who has ever camped out knows you can just chuck them in the campfire.

1st/2nd gears are useless in truck... always start driving in 3rd or 4th, the acceleration is much faster

so weird the actual game devs can't seem to manage what your part time modders do with ease

yep, just increase vehicles resistance to damage, simple

... and make the shoulder carried weapons disappear already! Looks so shoddy with them sticking through the roof and it's so simple to fix!

Far better to just count the KO logout as a kill in the killfeed logs, that way all other players wouldn't be annoyed and inconvenienced at all other times having to wait to restart.

i guess a relocate on logout would be a nice little escape feature for any players stuck in there due to the water trap too ;)

not possible someone lobbed something explosive in and ruined the vehicle making it despawn?

but wait, aren't these triggers are supposed to be analogue?

always a case of great ideas, poor implementation

seen this happen twice on twitch streams now... Freshspawns had to get very inventive lol

i think it's odd the engine turns off when driver exits... if you exit an automatic vehicle leaving engine on and car in drive without handbrake then it should continue moving, simple as. This could be a brilliant game mechanic, such as moving cover.
