I've had more positive interactions with bandits than I have normal skinned people. I find that the ones that get bandit skins more often are the ones that are REALLY good at winning gun battles. Someone shoots at them and more often than not, they come out the winner. If a person shoots at you and misses, killing them gives you a bandit skin. The only reason I am opposed to the bandit skin in its current iteration is because of the discrepancies in obtaining it.

Everyone starts off fresh, item spawning will be impossible AND tent duping will be fixed. Bam. Sidenote, if rusted out tankers offshore really are coming in standalone... SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

I HAVE AN INSATIABLE URGE TO CLICK RANDOM CYRILLIC HYPERLINKS. SOMEONE PLEASE STOP ME.

The only difference between them and elementary school playground bullies is the fear of people thinking badly of them. They still feed off of other people's negative emotion like bullies do. The only reason they never started beating people up in the first place is because they actually fear having people think badly of them. On the internet, that fear is removed and they are free to cause pain and suffering.

"Can I join the Army for five minutes just for the discount and then resign?" "Yes, unless there is a war."

People can't clone ammo anymore is probably the reason sniping is so reduced. However, External89 is correct, cloning your body is still a duping method available on some servers. It can be hard to do sometimes though.

What the hell did I just read? And for the love of god, please don't quote that man's entire post if you want to respond.

I think November is probably out of the question at this point. December 14th-21st is my guess.

I think ancient history zombies would never work. A 5000 man strong Roman Legion or 20,000 man pikeman formation would crush any zombie horde. They are actually BETTER equipped for a zombie apocalypse than most cities. Also think about population. There are seven billion people on the planet right now. A fast-spreading zombie plague would mean humanity is quickly and severely outnumbered. In Roman Times, there were only around seventy to eighty million people spread across the globe.

The Minecraft Model is when you pay for the game when it is only 25% complete and play it while you wait for the content updates.

After Standalone is released.

Hans Moleman driving the Gremlin is always how I picture Steak when I think about him driving. He then goes down a small hill and touches a tree at 1 mph and says "I just made my last payment" right before it explodes.

I had a friend of mine stowaway in a Black SUV owned by the server admins. We then found their camp and set up an ambush along the coast road utilizing real-time surveillance data provided by our stow-away. So besides getting video of the server admins spawning their own weapons at their camp, after we ambushed them on the coast road, they nuked us and then reset the server to recover the Black SUV. Needless to say, we didn't play on that server anymore. It was actually quite sad, they usually performed admin duties quite well. If someone lost stuff on a rollback because a hacker mass teleported, they would individually roll back people on request. I guess "Absolute power corrupts, absolutely" applied here.

The way Rocket is doing development is simple. Bohemia has already committed "X" number of resources (money and manpower) to making SA. SA gets released, all the purchases directly correlate to how much content is added after the release. "Y" number of purchases equals "Z" profit which gets added back into "X" development resources. Edit: Also since folks have had a few questions as to what will be in Standalone, I will list a few confirmed facts about Standalone. 1. Ragdoll is confirmed. 2. Teleporting, Item/vehicle spawning and Godmode are confirmed fixed. 3. Engine and server setup changes means Chernarus populations will be limited only by feasibility (my guess would be somewhere between 100 and 150 per server). This also means high-pop servers won't have to restart every three hours to keep loading times down. There are tons more I could list, but that is enough for this post I think.

Speed 3: Raw Steak Synopsis: The bus crashes in 30 seconds and all perish.

You were a victim of the puppet master hacks.

He already did, his post is past yours.

Jinkies!

Mountain Dew is the most sought after soda in the game, which makes it the best, clearly. Also it makes sense that it would be rarer (perhaps not as rare as it is) because less of it gets bottled every year, therefore there would be less lying around post apocalypse. I also noticed that no one even touched my discussion topic, so I shall ask again. If Heinz objected to its product's use in DayZ, should Rocket/Bohemia leave it in anyway?

Four or five new threads about hacking every day and yet they still come with a brand new forum account and ask again... Sigh... Here goes... The ARMA 2 engine and the game itself allow for client-side script injection. This makes most of the hacks currently plaguing the mod possible. Standalone can delete the code that allows most of these hacks outright, making them impossible. All examples of teleportation such as Thunderdome, mass killing and item spawning will be removed completely. Examples of hacks that will probably still plague Standalone are ESP and aimbots. These are completely client-side and are difficult to police.

You wasted our time first by complaining about the Debug monitor being removed (its very name should imply it was temporary from the beginning). Then you complained about hackers. You offered no solutions to putting a separate scoreboard back in and just complained. You got the forum trolls pounding on you because your post was very disorganized with bad grammar and spelling while containing only complaints. No one cares about useless complaining unless you can provide useful suggestions on how to improve the game. Also, someone complaining about hacking just makes me want to strangle a kitten at this point. There is nothing anyone can do about hacking on public servers that isn't already being done. Just wait for standalone if all you want to do is complain.

Being a medic isn't a "challenge" per se. It's more a question of "will this guy shoot me?"

That laptop probably won't be much better than your current one. I really don't understand the urge to buy laptops to use for "Gaming." The short version is, you pay twice as much for half the hardware capabilities. TL:DR You don't buy a laptop to "Game." PERIOD.

With the Standalone engine changes, Chernarus will probably be able to support a player population of at least 100 people. Random encounters in the woods will become more common because people generally take the same straight line paths through the woods. Namalsk will never become more than it is now due to its size.

Nope, you missed nothing. Oh wait, you missed the railgun that is the ultimate sniper rifle. Other than that, no, you hit it nail on the head.
