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.

-[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.

*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.

...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.

Looking to start a mercenary group. Playing with the name SAGA (Stealth.Assault.Ground.Air), but name still WIP. I haven been palying dayz or over a month as a loner and looking for a group now. The main idea is we will be nuetral to both survivors/bandits, but may be possibly for hire in the future and work for supplies, weapons, etc once we get situated as a team. Right now I just want to see about recruiting a few individuals that are interested and go from there. Note: This is not going to be a hardcore be on 24/7 group, as I myself have other obligations and have a family to support. I will mainly be on weekday nights or weekends mostly myself. Team's Longterm Goal: When we are established we can be hired to do almost any job. Like take on enemy factions, bandit/survivor groups, take over bandit/survivor camps/bases, help obtain weapons/supplies, and even invesitage DayZ urban legends. We would take on any job, except of course if it breaks any of our group rules as mentioned below. Payment would obviously be done with supplies, weapons, and even vehicles to pay for our services. We would obviously not take the payment or refund the advance(depends on difficulty of job) if we are unable to complete the job we were hired for. Currently I am looking to fill the following roles: Assault - Main force of the team, their primary role is to engage zombies/enemies, assault/secure positions, and play body guard to the teams medic. So be prepared to act as a meatshield. Recon/Sniper - provides overwatch to other team member's, recons area before job/scavenge mission, etc Spotter - Helps sniper track targets, supply ammo to sniper, and acts as body guard. Medic - Does Little fighting as is mainly in charge of healing and recovering downed member's equipment if possible. Support - provides covering fire and extra ammo if needed Scavenger/Builder -Scavenges supplies and in charge of fortifying the teams base when established. 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. Timezone: Eastern time prefered, but if you are close to it that fine. 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 Language: must be able to speak english. You must be willing to follow these rules: No griefing or hacking No killing new spawns, I am not going to lead/team up with pansies. You wanna kill someone, go look for someone who can kill back, like a bandit. No killing known medics,traders, or sincere solo friendlies without proper cause. We only kill friendly factions/players if hired to do so. The exception if the job's terms breaks any of our rules. Be able to take orders and work as a team Act mature on voice chat (take orders, no excessive swearing, racial slurs, etc) Act as team by sharing resources, help out whenever you can, and most importantly watch each other's back! Must always play your chosen/designated role during jobs/scavenging/whatever else we are doing. Be willing to complete any job we may be hired for. Unless you have a good reason. Do not goof off during a job or mission. I do not mind goofing off/having fun as I do it myself, but act serious when it's needed. Application: Please provide the following information if you are interested in joining. Please send me through PM here on the dayz forums. Age: Timezone: Have a mic? Teamspeak3/steam info: Other contact info: Prefered role(s): How often do you play/When can you play? Here is my contact info if you have questions: Dayz ID: Jim steam id: fallensoul7 Aim: warrior880 Teamspeak 3: jc984 Skype: jarmst01 I am usually on aim/steam all day, except of course weekdays I have to work. Then after 6pm eastern. I feel like I am missing something, but oh well. Reply away if you are interested.

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.

...this response is a good reason why alot of groups have age limits. And just because they heard swearing before doesn't mean they should do it. The point is younger people like yourself swear excessively and needlessly just to act cool or to act like morons, all of which is annoying to older players. If you were older trying to play a game and all you hear over voicechat is F this and F that and so on and so forth it kinda ruins the experience. I also have to mention the famous other common saying over chat/voicechat "faggot n00b!" or similiar saying i have read/heard from the younger players that I can't remember off he top of my head nor care to. This is not counting the younger player's who dont act like this of course. Kudo's to you and glad to play with you. B)

the real question is why are parents letting their kids under the age of 16 play these types of games. where i am at you have to have a photo id and be 17+ to buy an M rated game like this. Don't they hear their kids swearing over voicechat when playing COD/BF/Dayz? It's simply baffling how parents nowadays are completly and utterly useless and wha they let their kids get away with. Frankly most kids don't have the maturity to play these types of games anyway. So why should clans even think about recruiting them? Especially when the majority of them are loud-mouthed and sarcastic little pricks. Don't get me wrong...I did meet some who do act mature for their age and are the exact opposite...but they are few and far between, least in my experience anyway.

I am equiped to hunt and whatnot. so I have food and possibly some other extra supplies i can part with or I can just teamup with ya. I really don't mind in helping out new people. I will be on tomorrow most likely. Skype: jarmst01.

O_O never thought i see the day. If it helps rhino your bandit diaries helped me out as a survivor a great deal. I have learned what bandits think like and it helped me avoid them for the most part as i knew what took look for, areas to stay clear of, etc. But I am glad you are hanging up your bandit ways and trying out the hero path. And dont take it to seriosuly, if video games help bring out what's in your subconcious then everyone is a sociopathic killer. take games like BF3 and COD fpr example. I have been playing games for years and i don't have this need to urge to stab/shoot someone, slap or punch maybe..but not murder them. People who end up like that and just so happen to be a murderer 9 times outta 10 were not mentally stable to begin with. trust me, i wrote a paper on this in college and i did alot of research as my head still hurts from thinking about it. Well good luck and i will keep an eye out for the hero diaries .

Hey i am in the same boat where i can only really play on the weekends or later in the evenings due to my full-time job. I really do not like to kill new spawns. I am 27 and wouldnt mind getting a small group going or even a partner to watch my back. I am pretty laid back and usually can get along with anyone. Contact info if your interested: steam id: fallensoul7 skype: jarmst01 aim: warrior880

I'm game. Age: 27 Been playing arma 2 before dayz, mostly single player though. I have a mic and skype. skype name: jarmst01 And i live in the eastern time zone. What type of playstyle is the team going to be centered around? like bandit? Survivor? etc

I am looking for a small group and the plan is to eventually setup a camp raid/scavenge/etc. The for hire part is just a possibility that i think would be interesting. Thank you for your input, but please only post if you are interested thank you.

no takers? *bump*

You must be also refering to my post on starting a mercenary group here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/85797-looking-to-start-a-mercenary-group/. I really do not have a plan as of right except to get members, which is a must before anything else. When that happens and we get more established as a team, then as a team, we can make a plan together on how to offer our services ,etc. I myself thought this idea was interesting and might give me soemthing else to do, so I thought I see if anyone else might also be interested in it. My contact info is in my forum thread or profile, so maybe we can discuss this further and if our idea's of what mercenary group should be are the same/similiar maybe we can team up. btw glad to meet someone else from Michigan like myself interested in Dayz.
