It means the client architecture is done and now they're simply working on making multiplayer more stable. FLIGHT D-Z2012 is ready for take off.

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go 'round and 'round... I really love to watch them roll.

No joke, one time during Paintball, a friend of mine were rushing past this hallway that was under an exchange of fire. My friend and I decided to rush across, and in the process, he made this strange jump-roll thing that managed to get him across and get me out (I was running to the left of him, so obviously anything that hit him would shield me, little did I know that backfired). True story.

If you think that's bad, you should read some article comments that relate to DayZ.

I know ArmA 3 completely redid ballistics, and it now actually damages opponents realistically on the opposite end.

I think a good reason why I would take control of a power station is the ability to barter. While it may not be a necessity, what if, perhaps, at night zombies like to go to dark places and the light helps keep out a small percentage (a percentage that is big enough to turn the tide), and in exchange for 20 cans of beans, you get your power station back. If not paid within 2 game hours, we shut down Electro and you get your night creatures. Light could be a potential zombie-deflective. Not neccesarily all of the zombies, but a small amount (say, a certain group that learns cold is associated with darkness).

I wouldn't draw conclusions yet until we are completely sure they hardly changed Electro. Besides, I think the rest of the towns* are looking hot af in my opinion. E: *the towns that we have seen Edited October 27, 2013; 12:25 PM (EST)

Are you serious? Haha! Oh well. They must have done a better job than me, I simply just took a couple minutes out of my time to do this. E: Failing to plan is planning to fail Edited October 27, 2013; 11:40 AM (EST)

I agree to your point that it can be rather comical and ridiculous for people running around in their underwear, but restricting a player's freedom - that freedom being what to wear - will only upset a playerbase. Besides, running around nearly naked at night will only lead the last laugh being the person who loots their fresh corpse after they die of hypothermia. Some of the main point of clothing is to make people stand out from one another, and to give expression. This suggestions will only remove those things. Besides, what if people do want to express themselves by having a pink-haired-bunny-suited-hockey-mask-wearing gang of bandits? That will certainly scare the shit out of me. Sometimes you need the jesters in the population to prove that it is indeed free to be moronic despite it not getting us anywhere. E: No purple dildos, though. That's out of the question.

I recommend not playing Planetside 2 for anger management remedy. I waited an hour for an 8GB update, then logged on only to discover that the server lists were virtually empty. I ran out onto the battlefield, walked around for a bit, and a teammate started shooting me in the back. I panicked, turned around, took a couple shots, then realized it was a teammate and stopped. All of a sudden, I took a clip to the face by the guy. Made my night.

I wish there were like, official screenshots to help set the mood. Call me a stickler for that kind of Press Release bullshit, it really does make me have that feeling in my stomach whenever I am playing. That's just me. Also, can someone confirm whether or not the Infected will be slow or fast? I am hoping for the former since the major reasons why they were fast was because of limitations such as pathfinding and amount of undead in a given area. Now that there's going to be at least 10 times more Infected and much better pathing, maybe that quantity-over-quality zombie idea will work well? I don't know, I just enjoy slower zombies more since I come from the "WWZ" and "Walking Dead" type of folk. Yet again, TWD severely lack in numbers.

It took me a couple lines to realize it was the same thing being repeated over and over again, haha.

GET BACK TO WORK, BOI! *whips rocket while sitting in a lawnchair and sipping lemonade with a toothpick in my mouth, becoming chubby*

DayZ Standalone is not using the Take on Helicopters Engine, it's a branch of the main ArmA engine. The ToH engine wouldn't suit DayZ standalone, mainly because this 'branch', let's call it the DayZ Engine, serves to take the load off by putting it onto the server themselves, and ToH wouldn't do that. This is a custom engine optimized for the use of large scale of zombie AI and players, along with an introduction of thousands of items into the game. I want to get that out of the way now, so it is no longer relevant in conversation.

A point I'm trying to make is that people shouldn't immediately assume a person between 13-14 years of age should be expected to act immature. It's pretty ignorant to say the least. Also, what do you mean I shouldn't be playing the game in the first place? It's not illegal to play the game if you are under 18, you just can't buy it. If your parents are okay with it, and willing to buy it for you, you can play to your heart's content. E: Never realized how old this topic was. oh well

Maybe you should just subscribe to this topic and read whatever information comes through; that's usually what I do. I mean, nobody is forcing you to come onto this forum, it's all personal decision. Granted, it's not a huge decision, but a decision nonetheless. If you are confident enough that standalone won't be released for months, then by all means, go forth with your decision. I'm upset that more and more forum members are not participating in discussion due to the lack of standalone, but it's all your choice, man. I for one, will be that idiot who checks in everyday expecting a sudden release on Steam/new release date/devblog/tweet/whatever else rocket wants to do, and making foolish comments when people are debating. With that said, I like poptarts.

Wait, why is the changenumber relevant? Pardon me if I'm missing anything, I came late to the convo..

That's why rocket's team has been stressing so much that this is an alpha, which is early development and there are bound to be glitches. What people don't realize is that when you purchase a game in its Alpha stage, it is only lowered price because it's an opportunity for the community to make an attempt to give feedback. It gets so tiring after a while when you hear people say "DERE NO CAR, NO ZUMBIE, NO MELEEE. GIMME MY MONEY BAKK~!!!", when it's only released this early for the sole purpose of communicating feedback, and not an early shot of the game that all those selfish developers won't dare to let you play until the release of the full title. I would tell those 'fanboys' that they invested into an alpha; if it was a full released game, I would understand, but it is not. Now, if they were complaining about certain glitches, then obviously, that's communicating feedback to the developers...

Looks like I'm the only one here who likes building porn...

I can agree with this point. I am not sure if this has been brought up yet, but habits in games tend to follow quite a lot. Starting the alpha with no Infected (or zombies, rather) would surely affect the game in the long run. Are they still going to limit the key distribution to 50,000 players at first?

Georgia, mainly the area of Atlanta. I might be watching too much Walking Dead, but the countryside in Georgia, along with the cities, seems... fitting.

Also, another note I thought I would add: I think the animation transitions would look smoother if the upper body moved as well as the lower body, but the head stayed in its position. It looks as if it will work better.

Can we go shirtless in standalone? I want to show off my virtual abs. Now that we're on the topic, we need to also be able to wear a banana hammock. You getting this, rocket?

Would it be too late to say I'm going to change my name to Misperception.?
