Yeah, but what about if the gear and location you thought you had were on a private hive?

You sure haven't just logged into a private hive?

The mod won't stand up the the standalone at all. There are already so many people planning to get the standalone, removing the mod would simply cause people to boycott the SA. All you'd achieve is alienating your own playerbase. Secondly, there are FAR more things in the standalone, that is reason enough to get it over the mod. It's on an entirely different engine with significant gameplay changes. Considering this "opposition" is owned by the DayZ team, all you'd be doing is hurting it. And what would that sort of competition even do, anyway? DayZ is in a league of its own. It's already pretty much won the popularity vote and it's against a full game (WarZ), so how many people are going to pick an outdated version of the standalone over the standalone itself? Even if by some insane twist people still play the mod more than the standalone, there is obviously a reason for that. Do you think they are going to go "Oh, the mod is gone. I guess I'm going to have to pay money for a game I don't want now. I'll go ahead and do that."? No, what's going to happen is people complaining that the mod is down and claiming to never purchase another thing from the DayZ team. There's literally no benefit from removing the mod, except for the fact that maybe a handful of them buy the standalone, at the cost of everyone else boycotting it. So you're saying they should simply because they could? I COULD go and dropkick my puppy down a flight of stairs, it doesn't mean I should.

Most embarassing death: Gave my friend my enfield to cover us as a zombie had put me to like 3k health and in pain, he tried to close the door to a house as I walked in, which made his action menu close, he clicked, and put a round in my head. The rest are essentially blank, as I've never killed another player. It took me like 5 or 6 tries to stop dying to zombies immediately, but ever since I've never died. I don't play all too often nowadays, but when I do, it's 5 or 6 hours at a time. I'm a medic so I don't go looking for fights, perhaps that's why.

But he said please. I'm on his side.

As a medic, I am always overloaded with food. I take it as a priority and I know where to look to find it. It's really abundant. The idea that something so simple could end you is what gives the game its edge. It's what would drive a normally timid player to communicate out of necessity to trade for food, or perhaps friendly players will turn to banditry to get what they need. It encourages you to think differently than "CHANGE THE GAME SO I CAN PLAY LIKE THIS." But you did say please. ROCKET FIX IT NAOOOOOOOOOO

Say please.

Yes. Please.

I will end you.

Goddamnit orlok, I'm no good at reading signs, are you offering me beans for my amusing story or beans for trying to stay on topic?! Why are beans always the root of my problems in life!?

You really think that the mod will stand up to the standalone at all? I don't think you've read enough on how advanced the standalone will be. They will essentially be two different things, based on similar ideas. Just because YOU want it doesn't make it the logical choice. If you took down the mod to get players to buy the standalone, I'd bet more than half wouldn't buy it. Of the other half that would buy it, odds are they were getting it anyway. All it would do is anger players. Plus, Why would they throw all of this work to waste, when they could just pass it on and continue to let it thrive without jeopardizing the standalone? And what about the players who prefer the mod? Should they be forced to spend money on a game because you feel they should? Not to have a go at you or anything, because I also feel the mod will be obsolete when SA comes out, but I don't feel stopping the mod is right, so these are just some questions you really should consider.

You won't believe that that's not the first time I've heard that recently. It's not on topic though, so I won't post it here. I'll shoot you a PM about it, if you're interested.

I call boloney.

Speaking of a killjoy...

The mod lounge? You got a "name" for me? Well, now I'm intrigued. I double dare ya.

I've been called these things numerous times, where the hell is MY prefix?

I don't see any logic behind doing that. The mod will be significantly different from the mod, both in terms of content and player base. There will be a site specifically for the standalone, and odds are there will be people charged with moderation of the ARMA II mod and its site (A.K.A This.). Pretty much, any updates will be coming from the community and will not affect the standalone at all.

No. You still need a Source engine game to play any Source mods, so you will need ARMA II for the ARMA II engine to access its mods.

I must have missed the memo where jokes no longer have to contain any sort of humor.

Not even going to read the entirety of that post, because you can answer the question yourself: If you do something to sustain/benefit yourself at the cost of someone else simply because it's much easier for you, you're a bandit. Anything else, be it accidental, or out of necessity, does not make you a bandit, regardless of your skin. At least, that's my opinion.

Yeah, he should go post this in the Survivor HQ! Oh wait. He did. If he was posting this in the general discussion I'd agree with you. But these are things that would make general encounters between SURVIVORS more pleasant. This has nothing to do with bandits. Nobody's forcing it upon you, and even if you're not a bandit you're not required to do as it says. So chill out, captain freedom.

Your global ban # is just the first 6 characters of your CD-key. Nobody will ever have the same #. I have a video with information about Global bans here:

That post just gave me meningitis.

The mod has come much further than an alpha mod usually does. Odds are it won't receive any major gameplay updates, just fixes and patches every so often. It is free, after all.

I believe Steam couldn't tell the difference between your file and the fixed one. But you're welcome.
