Keen Strategy A danish group for various strategic, tactical and realistic games ;)

Already been a couple of threads about it... Just to let you know ;)

How about the male skins? I'm sure that body got a sixpack under that clothes. I don't have a sixpack! That skin is sexist!

Pleeeaaase play the arma tutorials before joining a server. Sure they don't have any zombies or survival elements... But they'll teach you alot about the controls and mechanics. And you'll need to know those things. I just have to facepalm when some dude asks "How do I open my inventory?" in the chat ;P

Those videos are from older versions of the mod. Everyone starts with the same gear on all servers. The revolver was just changed to a makarov.

Keep in mind that DayZ is a mod. All the stuff that this mod uses from vanilla Arma properly took a few years and a large team to develop. So the time versus money doesn't really work.

The L key as Borge said. But keep in mind that it only works when it's dark/night. Not sure at what time the game decides it can be used though ;)

I don't have a problem with any of it. Everyone got the same "advantages" anyway. I prefer playing on servers without handscan... it takes away from the immersion as you say yourself. I've only seen this enabled on one or two of the servers I've been on though. I can not live without 3rd person in this game. I'm one of the unlucky few who get motion sickness and headaches from the fov when in 1st person view (And it's not because of the headbobbing... That's of course turned down a bit). The "zoom out" button does remove this problem... But I'm not going to press down a button for the whole time I'm playing just to actually be able to be in the game.

Well... It's 225km2 for 50 people (A few servers have 75 slots). You won't see alot of people if you keep away from the bigger cities. Of course you'll run into a few a long the way... But other players are half the experience anyway.

I only play during night if I have some sort of flashlight. You can quickly turn it on and off to have a look at where you're going.

Normally I doesn't have anything against Russians (Or any other nationality for that matter). But ffs they can be annoying when they start spamming the chat. And 99% doesn't give a s*** if you ask them to keep it in English (Or whatever language the server belongs to). It's sad that admins can't do anything against it either...

ALT + F4 does not work in arma games when you're in the "game". You have to go to a menu. Lots of people had problem with selecting their 4th soldier (F4) while looking around (ALT) so they patched it. Which just makes it faster to click the "abort" button anyway. Unless it's enabled in DayZ (Haven't checked)? Which would be a weird move by the devs. Anyway... I've learned to let the Zs come close and then just move a bit back when they try to attack.

He said it was an EU server... DE is Deutschland (Germany). Sounds interesting. My spoken English is s*** though so don't think its for me ;)

Humanity wont get removed. The numbers are just hidden and the auto skin change will get removed. Humanity will come back and bite those people in the ass at some point when they figure out what to do with it ;) I don't really see how bandits get a major advantage though? They choose to shoot people to get their stuff... so what? Completely legit in a game like this. It doesn't take that long to find stuff without shooting other people... So it's hardly a major advantage to get it 15-20min before the other guy. And it is REALLY easy to stay hidden and out of their way if you're not running blindly toward gunfire or doesn't check the area before running across a field. I'm a "carebear" myself... And I say the balance is fine.

A pistol/rifle is a lot heavier than your hand formed as a pistol. It's not nearly as easy to keep still while moving. I have no idea how it works in real life though... So it's just me assuming how it works xD Anyway... Never had a problem with while playing vanilla arma. Keeps people from running-and-gunning. Well... aiming-running-and-gunning anyway ;)
