No one is moaning about the normal bugs m8, but the PBO one is stupid seeing as it is two years old.

pbo wasn't,isn't priority. to you it is .stability is the first as rocket said many months ago.

pbo issue is a small tweak . making servers work full and everything else smoothly is massive. so priority first . pbo issue will be fixed as you probably know. its a small issue.
 
DG stop the rubbish, even you have to admit the PBO thing is stupid, it is not new and should have been one of the first things on the list last year. Smal tweak while they add these silly new patches? It should have been done ages ago.....
 
stop what rubbish its a small issue. you are playing a new alpha what do you expect ? it will be patched soon keep calm .

there are many things id like fixed instantly but...it isn't priority and i understand the order of what needs to be done. if you getting annoyed now how will you be in six months when we maybe just starting beta ?
 
You misunderstand m8, we all know what alpha means and the many bugs/crashes it will bring. Not to mention total server wipes. The PBO thing is totally unreal seeing as it is two years old so would have been the first thing ANYONE would add to servers.

The fanboy is uber strong in you LOL I almost feel sorry for you tbh. I have played DayZ since day 1 so please don't do the Alpha/bugs rubbish with me sonny jimbob. In fact since day 1 I have only moaned about the SA price and this PBO thing. Hows that for not moaning about all the deaths and other awesome stuff DayZ throws at you for almost two years.

Big problem? No the first I have hears of the pbo file thing is in the last few pages of this thread. I can honestly say I have never heard of this in the past and its never effected me....
Stability and making things work is far more important than dying because of a missing wall. Your not supposed to 've playing for fun at the min you have opted in to test a product before it's full release. I just think you were hoping it would be more finished than it is so your looking for excuses.

Nothing more to say on the issue, Rocket should be ashamed leaving no grass/trees and walls in still. When I say day 1 I mean day 1 when the mod was released.

Say day z dev team spent 1000 man hours testing the game over the last few months. Over 700000 people bought stand alone on day one meaning that within the first day of release it had over 700000 man hours of testing.
It a alpha and anyone that is whinging is retarded....

Think this through though... This is exactly why leaving known and obvious bugs in the game at this stage is a silly idea...

Suppose your figures are correct, and this 700,000 man hours of testing on day one is accurate. Also lets assume that every person testing bothers to submit bug reports. Now if there is a large obvious bug which all of those people notice then instantly you've got up to 700,000 people trying to report that same issue... Some might notice a similar ticket that appears to already refer to that issue and add their comments to that, but many won't, and so instantly the development team have to sift through tens of thousands of unique tickets that really are describing the same big bug that they already knew about...

Somewhere mixed in with all those tickets there are probably others that are about new issues, ones which the development team didn't know about, but they won't have as easy a time noticing them amongst all the others, and even if they do they will have wasted so much time sifting through it all

I actually agree that stability and core functionality is more important at an early stage, but I think that stuff should have been sorted out prior to this alpha... I don't believe for one second that the basic stability and functionality (not the PBO stuff, just the basic netcode and whatever) of the current build works very well even amongst Rocket's own team - and they have access to the full debugging environment necessary to do real bug-testing and some basic optimisation... So why release it to the masses? What are they going to report other than "it's glitchy and laggy" which is something that A. Isn't helpful because they don't have access to much more information than that and B. The dev team already know about because it's the same for them?
 
because we get older builds! they have dev servers and testing servers.

so we sit here raging they play a newer better version then we get that when tested and they move on. i cant believe people think they aren't testing it :p

if you go on the official dayz forums there is a bug report section . you sign up report away.

its here http://feedback.dayzgame.com/my_view_page.php

I don't recall saying that I thought they weren't testing it themselves... I was just pointing out that they aren't doing themselves any favours by starting the Alpha when there are still so many basic functionality issues that average-joe user is not going to be much help in assessing other than just pointing out the obvious...

For example lets take the latest bug report "Endless Desynce"... Ignoring the annoying spelling mistake in the title how useful is this bug report to the devs really? There are desync issues on a bog-standard Win7 machine in the game. The user hasn't added any tags or really any useful information, and I'd put money on it that the devs already know that this is an issue, it was probably a known issue before the Alpha even started

The list is full of these basic ones - "Zeds clipping through objects" - I'm sure the devs are really glad that thousands of people are pointing that out because there's no way they would have tracked it down otherwise :rolleyes:
 
quite frankly iv said this before and im sticking to it, in my opinion its a joke that it took this long to get here, and with the amount of bugs/lack of vehicles/weapons, im pretty sure the devs are sat on a desert island sipping mojito's with our money, occasionally fixing things when they can be bothered, by now i expected decent weapons and some sort of mode of transport, as someone mentioned earlier, its a shame they didnt use the arma 3 engine, the zombies on standalone are also pathetic, the dayz arma 2 mod is 50 times better so far in my opinion, the only thing i can see that is better is the gfx, but thats not very stable for fps at the min, i know things will change, but like iv said this is all "my opinion", i may come back an play it when the dev's get off their lazy backsides and sort it out
 
Really pleased to see they have implemented the private hive stuff within the last patch. Even though its not functional it shows that its a priority item on the dev path. Soon..
 
they gunna keep popping out patches regular as they test them . not too big so there isn't major issues added couple of months well be loving this game people just need to hold on the rage and go and masturbate or something in meanwhile. :p
 
Anyone get the glitch where you end up in the middle of the ocean with no land in sight... my guy has been swimming for ever, more stamina than I thought :(
 
Wierd I went on some empty server last night and found about 4 guns , 2 magazines ,4 tins of food , 2 water bottles , a firemans axe , 3x vitamins , 1x anti biotics in about 30 minutes.


how come on the ocuk server after the fresh reboot I found hardly anything?

I thought someone said stuff only respawns when the server reboots? ocuk seemed already looted compared to this place
 
Just been a update anyone got any ideas whats inside.


Also is this part of the game to keep people close to the action, but how come on a steep incline, or if I leave the main roads my char cant sprint ? Am I doing something wrong. Or is this a design feature to try and keep people moving along the same kinda highways.
