  1. There was a time when DLC's were free? I don't remember those times, I remember them being called expansion packs and having to pay for them. Mods have always been "free", as in you buy the original game that the mod exists on and play it for free. Mods have always existed thanks to basement (I'm using basement in a general non-insulting way) developers who are trying to show-off what they can do for the gaming industry with their ideas, in hopes they get noticed and land themselves jobs. Often when they're successful big companies take notice, they hire them, help them clean up the mod and release it as retail. Good examples are Counter-Strike, Day of Defeat, Team Fortress (and, as a result, Portal) and of course, DayZ. Even Battlefield 2 was worked on by the mod developers who created the BF1942 mod Desert Combat. I don't know why you feel so self-entitled about this mod, but your reasoning and beliefs are completely wrong. Edit; Also Mutton is awesome when you know how to cook it. ;)
  2. If you timeout in the middle of a fire fight, you should expect to die anyway.
  3. What has the creator(s) of the map said about this?

    Average life expectancy

    *On a server with no other people.

    Why no IP bans for hacking?

    Doesn't seem like it, and it is one of the reasons that IP bans are a stupid and pointless idea.

    Are Choppers needed in DayZ?

    That's the point of them in DayZ, currently being only one and seeing it is (or should be, at least) very rare. If you're going to compare it with real life then they've got it as close as you can get.

    Famous last words... Dayz edition

    Whoa! There's someone over there! Oh actually I think it might be a tree. *BANG* ...no, it was a person.

    Over 230 hackers got banned on my server

    The numbers have dropped because of shitbags like you.

    You're obviously grasping at straws if that's the only way you can justify using the TWS, it was taken out of DayZ for a reason as it's a stupidly overpowered weapon in a game like DayZ. Pretty pathetic to use it, imo.

    Im a monster!

    I tried being friendly the first time I logged in a private hive, thinking I'd start fresh and maybe even go for the hero skin ...I didn't last a day. People would say they're friendly and then shoot you in the back when they know there's almost no chance to get shot back at - back to being a bandit and dying a lot less! :)

    Note-pads, pencils, and camping tents.

    If I found an awesome camp I'd probably create a bunch of notes, starting in Elektro, each with a clue that leads closer to the camp.
  13. First private hive I've tried, great so far, no messing with the game spawns so it just feels like how DayZ should be. Thanks for the server! :)
  14. What would this baby grow up to be? I imagine a massive sandbox FPS on a single server and an amazing economy. Lots of carebears, lots of bandits and loads of fun. If you could create a test tube game with Rocket, what would it be?
  15. Banned for camping? Not likely, at all.

    ATV has mad hydraulics

    They're really not that bad, as someone said, just don't drive over bridges. Also don't go too fast over curbs, those are the 2 times I've ever crashed in an ATV.
  17. Was that at me? All I had was a hatchet.
  18. Hah, what luck. Found a legit chopper that someone was fixing up (he landed in cherno no less lol), then someone kills that guy sees me and shoots at me, hits me with his enfield and i'm still running at him with my axe, then Battleye kicks me for failure to update (been on the server at least an hour!) and now I'm lying on the floor due to this shitty mechanic - FML!
  19. I can understand punishing people for Alt-F4'ing, but when legit players suffer this (happened to me a few times now) it's fucking annoying. It should be taken out until a solution is found for the standalone.
  20. Friend told me about it, he didn't have it either but we searched for people playing it on Twitch and we were all hooked on the concept of it all.

    HURRRR died again!

    Playing on dead servers is hardly a solution. You're not really surviving anything if there's no player interaction, you're simply running around looting dead servers - 25 days in your case isn't much of an achievement. OP try the mydayz.de private hives, you need to be whitelisted to join (follow the instructions on their site.)

    Grounded the little turd

    How will he wake up if there's a hatchet buried in his head?

    I finally found a L85 thermal this morning, but...

    I wish they'd remove the L85, it just doesn't seem to fit in with DayZ, imo. Perhaps I wouldn't mind so much if it was really as rare as it's supposed to be, but yea, you know how DayZ is atm. I hope the standalone brings back the "OMG I FOUND AN XYZ" type feeling that I had when I first launched this game up.

    Grounded the little turd

    You think calling your kid a turd is bad? Were you brought up by Amish people? Kids are very resilient, wrapping them up in cotton wool and trying to shield their ears of "naughty words" does more damage. Good luck getting your kid to socialise if he/she can't take a few bad words.
  25. If this was in the game, I'd so be a hobo and would annoy all my mates with my smelly arse.
