does that to me also...says i am missing a file but not. *shruggs*. But for you try turning off your firewall...maybe that will help i had to do that on another server before.

that isn't going to work ...cause then we will have to hear the RDM people whine how they cannot pvp all the time. Higher military grade weapons should be scarcer period. There is no use for a as50 or a thermal gun in this type of scenario. They should be ultra rare and the as50 should consume you're water and food levels faster because of how heavy this is. This was suggested by a buddy of mine that was actually in the army who actually fired one..they are not light and running around aimlessly is not conceivable unless you're pumped on steroids. and the thermal actually should run on batteries...and he also said they don't last that long. A good suggestion would have NVG's/Thermal's have battery power which depletes eventually and you got to charge them or dump them. The thermal gun's scope would just be a normal one or something when the batteries run out. and the most common rifle should be civilian like the CZ...its still a descent rifle AS50 is just overkill. And if you want to add more "realism" to the game....then there should be bears or wolves in the wilderness that attack/hunt you. Nothing like hearing a wolf howl and the pitter patter of wolf feet running around you and stalking you at night in the middle of the woods. I know a lot of these have already been suggested, but i think they are good idea's and I do agree on your weapon/ammo scarcity suggestion. Personally I am happy with a winchester or even a lee enfield...adds to the challenge to me. And before you PVP flame me before voicing my opinion...i do really not mind pvp. It's waaaaaaaaaay to common, rocket mise well take the zombie factor out of the scenario and just make it open-world/sandbox battlefield. It's called DAYZ...Z=for zombies. Hopefully the zombies are way more dangerous and AI is fixed for the standalone to rectify this issue.

Steam is good...but i own arma2 retail. check like amazon.com to see if it may be cheaper then on steam. or....you just can wait for the standalone which comes out (hopefully) in a couple months.

*bump* :)

i will give your servers a try. be nice to have something different then KOS all the time.

http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/105640-saga-is-recruiting/ we are still looking to add more people as there are only two of us at the moment.

http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/105640-saga-is-recruiting/ we do not mind getting new players. check out the link above. its a new group formed after our previous one failed as the other members were never active. I am 28 and the other member is 33 and we do like to play tactically. We do have a steam group profile page too if you wanna check us out even more.

yea you would. But I believe i heard somewhere rocket is going to give owners of Arma2:OA a discount....dunno if that true or not though. And Arma2 is a pretty fun game in itself, I am personally looking forward to arma 3.

http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/105640-saga-is-recruiting/ You can try here dude...heres al lthe details in he that post. We play tactically my buddy and I and we are looking to add a few new members to our group since its just us.

-[sAGA]- is currently recruiting a couple members for team play. Currently there are only two members in the group as we both left our previous clan as the other members were never active. New players to DayZ are welcome! Just make sure you are familiar with the Arma2 controls first. Go into the Basic training before playing with us if you are accepted. About us S.A.G.A. (Stealth Assault Ground Air) is a tactical group who's main focus is team oriented gameplay in variety of games, which includes action games like battlefield 3 and Arma 2 to even co-op survival games/mods like Dead Island, DayZ, and WarZ. Our current focus is DayZ at this time. There are only two current members at this time. We are in the age range of 28 and 34. Clan FAQ Are we Bandits or Survivors?: We are neither. Yes we do kill other survivors/bandits, but we rarely ever kill new spawns or unarmed players unless they seem like they are a threat. But we are also no saints, as in the harsh world of DayZ we will do what we have to do to obtain what we need or want to survive and succeed in our goals. Are we getting the standalone?: Yes. As long as rocket and the devs dont screw it up we will get it and play. We see this mod as a vital tool for training and working on teamwork and eventually reach the ultimate goal of having a friggin base!....but we will see what comes of that lol. The Future Down the line when we become a solid team of misfits to help keep us entertained the plan is to become mercenaries. We can hire our services out as Medic bodygaurds, Bandits, etc. And we are always welcomed to new ideas for the group! Requirements and what I am looking for in a member: Age: must be 18+ though will make compromises, you must play with me or another member for a bit first and we will then vote on it. Timezone: Eastern time prefered, but if you are close to it that fine. This makes it easier to get on on the same time to avoid scheduling conflicts. Mic: Prefered, as it's easier to communicate with then typing in direct chat. Voice chat program: teamspeak 3/steam/skype - unless you have something else better to use we are all ears. but we mainly use skype at this time. Language: must be able to speak english...or be understandable. Do not whine to give you loot! Even though we do work as a team and help each other, you must also be able to be independent! The most important requirement is to be willing to play on a private server. NGG 1 is our main server at this time, as the admins are not afraid to ban hackers and it has a descent group of people playing. So go into ARMA2 and filter that server name and check your ping on that server to make sure you are not going to have lag issues. I am currently also looking into trying out the other private hives that host Namalsk, Lingor, and Panthera. Application: Please provide the following information if you are interested in joining. Please send me through PM here on the dayz forums or contact me directly through one of the messengers listed in my profile. Age: Timezone: Have a mic?: Teamspeak3/steam/Skype info: Other contact info: Prefered team role? (Assault, Medic,etc): How often do you play/When can you play?: If you are accepted into the ranks you must change your in-game name -[sAGA]-(enter name here) as well as follow any rules associated with us. The rules are pretty simple. Play as a team and have fun! More info is posted on the groups steam group page if you have a steam account, though i am still in the proces of completing it.

...thats....just awsome.

you using fraps? if so make sure your saving the video to a different HDD cause it will slow down if you try to record a video and play on the same HDD, even on a different partition since it's still on the same HDD. I noticed a difference when I did that. there some good vids on youtube that can help you optimize it to get better FPS. I am just assuming you meaning recording video's while playing since you mentioned it.

Yea do it, it will be nice to see something on youtube then bandits killing all the time or acting like pricks to new spawns.

I am not saying he is wrong, I just didn't like the way he said it really. But doesn't mean all mercs have to be like that. If a medic does interfere we would warn them, even hold them up and strip them of all their supplies even, but doesn't mean we would have to kill them, unless he tries to kill us of course. They are just trying to do there job afterall. We would not take any shit from no one, but doesn't mean we have to go out our way to grief other players and whatnot. But the whole merc aspect is just a possiblity...finalizing something like this won't work until the standalone, when we can actually make a base and save our gear in tents...hopefully anyway lol.

Yes a mercenary does jobs for payment, but I am sure even some have a code of honor in there somewhere. Only pansies kill medics who are nuetral or unarmed players who can't defend themselves. Now go and shoo little boy and let the grown-ups talk. As for everyone else I am adding you shortly and will try to get ahold of you sometime today.
