What does "Go your way" mean?

Recommended Posts

I've yet to die due to bugs two times within 10 minutes. Does not happen often...

Even if people die once to bugs, waiting 15 minutes on top of loosing their gear will piss them off.

Indeed, my bad, sorry - I thought you were responding to Karmaterror's post

 

Just a simple 15 minutes respawn timer is definitely a terrible idea.

Yes lets add 15 minutes spawn timer, lets see what happens when people die from bugs or invisible zombies. This forum will drown in shit from all the shitstorm that will come. Not to mention the griefing factor, making people wait that long if I kill them just to make them miserable. 

On the plus side it might get rid of some of the more immature squeakers since their attention spans couldn't take the wait.  But yeah, nuts to that, it's a bad idea.  I find the idea of "punishing" people when I kill them extremely obnoxious, what's the point of that?  Besides, it's more fun to come here and let everyone know how dumbass people can be.

Which is why, IMHO, there should be some sort of penalty to death. I mean, this game is supposed to have "permadeath", or at least, death is supposed to be serious? Because right now, bambis YOLO-rush other players because they have nothing to lose, and people suicide so they don't have to run 5 minutes.

 

This behavior should be curtailed, at least.

Anyone else notice the amount of distension in the responses lately in here (this forum)

 

:|

Everyone's response is bloated (tee hee)? because that's what distension means.  But still, I get what you meant.

Uh, yeah? It is alpha (holy shit, I've apparently become an alpha apologizer), you should EXPECT to die from glitches, bugs, and the like. Hell, we aren't really supposed to be playing the game right now, we are technically supposed to be testing the game for.....bugs, glitches and the like. How many people actually report bugs, instead of bitching about them?

 

Also, if the forum turns into a shitstorm because people can't hack "permadeath" or even "death taxes", then they should stop playing. Simple. The mods can clean out the bad posts, and the little kids can grow up a little and realize they are playing a serious game.

Poor babies! My heart weeps....... /sarcasm. Maybe next time, they won't be so rash, and make foolish mistakes that get them killed. If they got killed via bug, see above

Explain why? People throw about phrases like "permadeath" and "authentic" on this forum like they actually mean something, yet once ideas get put forth to actually implement mechanics discouraging death, they get shot down because "they would make people sad/mad".

 

Too bad, so sad. Either get good (AKA stop making pants-on-head stupid mistakes), or get out. Bugs are a fact of life, no use complaining about them. All you can do is report them.

Yea we are supposed to die from bugs, but not to die from bugs and take 15 minute break each time we die.

Well why don't we do actual permadeath ? You die no more DayZ for you. Ever. Serious game, wow. You know what's serious ? Life is. Not games. They aren't meant to replace your life.

Dying is not always caused by foolish mistakes unless you ran off the roof. As for a person who's signature states "Don't ruin my experience!" is a horrid reason to justify ruining someone else's experience...." 

You seem pretty hell bent on doing exactly that. First with you farming jobs and epic quests for AKM now with that. 

Yet another small problem that you people are trying to solve with assfucking legit players.

1) Awesome strawman.

2) Is 15 minutes such a long time where you would be seriously inconvenienced? Get up from the computer, get a drink, use the restroom, stretch a bit. It doesn't have to be 15 minutes. Just a ballpark figure.

3) How is establishing "dying is bad" in a game supposedly based in realism -ahem- "assfucking legit players"? Firstly, what the hell is a "legit player"? I am a "legit player", in the sense that I actually play the game and want it to be all that it can be, namely, a realistic, difficult survival game. Secondly, how exactly are you "assfucked" by the existence of a death timer? 

 

-"shit, I died from PvP/zombies/glitch. Now I can take a break from this screen I've been staring at for the last 2 hours. Woe is me."

 

Right now, someone dies (regardless of reasons), and they can get generally get back to their body before it despawns so long as they have more than three braincells to rub together, faster if they have friends strip the body. How is that survival? How is that difficult? Remember when Day Z standalone was branded as the "anti-game"?

 

Death should be a serious setback, not "shit guys, I'll be back in game in 30 seconds....well, I spawned in Solnichny, let me sprint back to my body."

Yes it is, I don't need games permission (aka timer) to go get a drink or take a piss.

Dying is bad because you loose all your stuff. And while now you might say well dying matters me none. In a future when the game is like you said "want it to be all that it can be" you will be able to get sick, where warm clothes and some medicine will be valuable. Dying will be actually bad.

As for legit players, the whole discussion started because of new spawns who attack geared players because they have nothing to to lose, as opposed to legit players who do not do that, And yet you guys instantly came up with solution that will hurt legit players. There this is how legit players will be punished, because they will be treated equally to those actually guilty. 

 

As for getting back to your body, well how about being spawned far away ? How about when they add stamina system you might not reach it in time ? 

 

What is really annoying is :

You want to fix problems with some harsh restrictions, but like you said, we aren't even supposed to play this game, so why hell are you getting upset with current abusable mechanics ? Most of the problems that you guys cry about will be gone as the development goes further. You contradicted yourself here beautifully, by saying that this is just testing and we aren't even supposed to play while at the same time trying to fix game play issues. Way to go.

 

So yes at some point death will be a serious setback. Without your silly timer. So stop trying to put in some harsh restrictions simply because IN AN ALPHA there are problematic design decisions. 

How is that a survival ? It is not. Nor is this a finished game so why don't you guys calm down and wait for the game to at least reach damn beta before you whine on everything ?

Simply put, i dont see any reason why should i be forced to wait 15 minutes before respawn. But maaaybee such mechanic could be improved by forcing you to wait 15 minutes for respawn on the same server (!), but you could immediately spawn on some other.

That might resolve the "sprinting back to my body" issue... (the server wouldnt let you in till your previous body despawns)
