What people are posting is kind of ridiculous. what some people are posting is kind of ridiculous. While I wasn't one complaining about the cans, people saying we do not deserve a devblog, or are entitled to anything are blowing this thing out of the water. It's called criticism, and while in this case the criticism was a pretty bad reason, they are going to take some once in a while; even if it means that people are irritated over little things. Here's the thing, though: Some people in the community are irritated because they are being told they have full control/full voice in development. That's never going to end well when you have two groups of people who will never agree on anything (coughUSApoliticalpartiescough). In the end, I don't think that some people should be deprived of a devblog this week because of a bit of commotion within the community. You are going to have to stand for it when saying that everyone's voice will be heard. For all we know, though, that may not be the reason for the delay. The reason could be because they're working on a skeleton, or working on more animations. tl;dr why is this topic even here? edit: read the first page, was baffled af, read the second, saw some people posting similar things to what I've posted. nevermind about the first sentence on this post.

I am personally fine with longer development time as long as the game turns out good, and polished. Besides, I think longer development time is beneficial to the community. While I am not saying rocket & the team will automatically stop developing after a year has passed from release, it allows us to get as much as we can out of the game; even if it means we have to sacrifice a few months with no play time.

Well, it also depends on what type of 500W power supply it is. You don't want to fry your new components.

I want too! This was my 400th post!

How much did you pay for that Mac?

If I had to give DayZ a reason for the name, I would definitely put it as a spin off of Day X (as in the beginning of the new world), and Z (as in, zombie) despite the fact that rocket said before he would view them as people with a virus who just want to roam around and eat people, not paying attention to their own health state.

I like the fun at the parody names, but I feel as if it kind of pulls away from the realism of the mod, considering the fact that the food is 'real', and immerses you more. However, if it means more food quantities, then I am all for it. Why is everyone hating on the Derpy Hooves' muffins? They seemed pretty clever.

These were actually made by two community members on the forums here. What happened was it started it off with canned dog food, and eventually lead to all the moderators suggesting ideas, and so those two named it after them. Same goes with the Machete and whatnot. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/121763-3d-model-different-food-qualities-215-update/

DayZ Standalone's sales are going to be topping the charts, and there still is a pretty big majority of players in DayZ who KoS. I'd imagine there will be a lot of people dying in a certain radius of Cherno.

pic or it didn't happen

That's a bummer. I was looking forward to purchasing another video card just to get the most out of my shit-rubbing 1440p smooth gliding texture all over my pixelated body.

That pun was pushed out.

Game looks sick. did you download any mods, tweak anything or did you just set everything to max?

I think he might be a new player in DayZ since they added the Arma 2 DayZ Mod option. He must have looked at the system requirements on that page he thought he could run it. Unfortunately, the only way you can run this game well is a strong dual core, or a quad-core, along with something along the graphical power of a 8800 GT or higher in order to sustain a playable framerate. I do not think anybody's system has yet to achieve more than 50 frames per second while in Chernarus. I'm talking about people having 690s with i7s OC'd and still not receiving something you would call 'smooth picture'.

Eight posts in and he already gets a custom member title. This is going down in the books, fellas.

This idea is pretty much best. I just don't think there should be, as you said, a 20 minute tutorial on everything. You should just get a popup that doesn't interfere too much that informs you on things like controls, etc. and can be disabled at any time

At first, I was thinking of the addition of NPCs would be nice, but people are right. Adding NPCs to the game is a mistake, and remove the core reasons why I chose to play this game in the first place. It gives you freedom, doesn't point you anywhere, and all your choice is based on other player interaction. If this game adds NPCs, I'm not going to protest buying it, but I think it would hurt a lot of what DayZ stands for.

Then after that, there should be a big sign in Cherno that states 'HAVE FUN AT WARZ, CALL 1-800-GET-ROBD'.

You got a HUGE bottleneck going on there. Get an X4, and you should be able to record* games without a problem. AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16819103727 Also, if your MOBO is OC capable, then purchase an aftermarket cooler such as the Cooler Master Hyper 212+ VEVO. http://www.newegg.co...N82E16835103099 *messed up on the wording -- edited it now lol

If lasers are added into the game, then I'm all for it. you can't hit much in hipfire on ArmA anyways, at least not after running 10KM.

Have you tried playing ArmA 2 vanilla style? As in, no DayZ? If you can, go and see how it plays out. If it plays just fine, then the problem is within DayZ itself. I remember someone had the same CPU overclocked to 4.7GHz, and litterally the SAME GTX 680, and receiving very familiar framerates.

What motherboard do you use?

ArmA is a strange game. Did you try making it so that ArmA will take advantage of all four of the cores? There is an option in six-launcher when you enter on the settings area, it's called additional startup parameters, or something like that. -nosplash -cpucount=4 -exThreads=7

I think it was more or less luck and chance. Did you manage to refill with health or did you die a while later?

You're next, Sleepy.
