Private Evans

That's the thing... I would not use the term "squad" for our group or sniper for my friend with the hunting riffle. My guess is that most people simply prefer to play that way because playing a badass person and using military terminologies seems to be a lot more epic than to be or to rollplay the avarage guy next door finding himself in somekind of a nightmare....which is what I prefer. however.... we should focus on the ugly font and the release date :P I guess

:D No offense..I am simply hoping for a bit more diversity and as it looks, Rocket is pushing the thing in the right direction cheers

That was not my point. I was just wondering why this has to be military based for so many people. No question a well organized group or at least a group of people working together would always have better a chance to survice, but why always the miltary background and terminologies ? Let's take the characters from Left for Dead 2 for example...a gambler, a mechanic, a football coach and a journalist...would you call that a squad and would you call the person with the biggest gun "main support gunner"..I don't thinks so. The guy from 28 days later..a bike courier...the survivor group from The Walking Dead....a cop , a pizza delivery man, a farmer etc etc (the only one with military experience has been Merle Dixon)...The Road...a simple man and his little son.... There is nothing wrong with miltary stuff..I think it is just an interesting point to discuss :-)

@NightmareGER No nothing wrong since this is game and you and your friends enyoy your personal way of playing it :) I am feeling it still strange though to see that so many people prefer rollpaying DayZ as part of a military squad. I mean in the SA your sniper will probably just have an old Mauser Riffle and your heavy gunner maybe a crowbar or crafted spear You will encounter other groups of survivors wielding wrenches and shitty Makarovs or Rugers and I am wondering if people will still use then terminologies like "gunner", "sniper" or squad .... cheers

"So is that AS50 with 5 rounds worth keeping over your Lee Enfield with 5 Mags? Perhaps if you run with a 5 to 6 man group and have assigned rules. Such as Medic, Sniper, Spotter, Heavy Gunner and so on." Will this ever stop that nearly everybody plays this like a military simultaion or multiplayer shooter ... :rolleyes:

Posted this in the other thread as well...I've already made the satmap and heightmap for Pripjat..it is a 20,480 x 20,480 km map based completely on real world data. The inner playable part is around 16,5 km x 16,5 km and 100 % based on the real thing the outer map is inspired by the real region data but mainly woods for lod and gameplay reasons. Texture map , road map and forest masks will be worked on later on this year as well. cheers :-)

I've created the satmap and heightmap for Pripjat already ....will start working on the roadmap, texture map and forest masks later on this year.... just sayin :) PS: based on real world data of course

Let us talk about the font again instead :D

...he also said that they will fix the zombie animations ( event handler) next week...don't think they will release it without this stuff being fixed :)

Let's see first if the SA will fit his kind of gameplay...seeing Frankie running around wielding a shitty tin pipe will probably noty satisfy his viewers :P ( but I am somehow sure he will be one of the lucky guys always finding a rare riffle) Sorry for being sarcastic but this youtube star cult is really annoying and I don't think this game needs it. :)

Rocket said that they are thinking of implementing a blood type test :) Edit I think it is a lot more realistic to create your own infusion kit and get someones blood than to find bloodbags ( which is indeed completely impossible in RL after a few weeks)

Why does Rocket have a Rahamadi map on his laptop (beside Chernarus) ????

Fact is that trading will become a very very important thing in the SA especially regarding the new loot and economy servers archtecture. Also Rocket has confirmed (latest video) that they are planning to implement a special trading menu ....So the big question is how can we handle trading ingame without breaking the immersion by doing it on the forums or Redditt ony. As we all know Rocket wants to let the community handle such things and I also think that is the best way. We as a community could establsh our own ( unwritten) wasteland rules for example....let's say we all agree ( except Bandits of course) that for example Olsha is a safe zone where players can go for trading...I know that the trusted field medics have stuff like that in mind too. thoughts ? Edit: something like a Wasteland Codex comes to mind.

I have searched for it in some of your fucking cold mountain lakes....and you tell me the soviets took it to Chernarus :(

has been suggested before but I love the idea ( clowns are freaking scary) have some :beans:

...it is just NO (very short and simple) :P

To go bearded where no man has gone bearded before... take may beans :beans: and my support for this idea PS: ...but please don't use "Bambi" (real men don't do that)

I was thinking that a snow map would be a good Addon for Arma 3 later on ..so why not a snowy Chernarus sincce ist has already been greatly improved (interiors etc)...this way BI could save a lot resources...

Yap I suggested this some time ago...woul be clever to use Arma 3 Stratis for a new DayZ map in the future and the updated chernarus map for an arma 3 addon ( maybe changed into a winter map which could also be an extension for DayZ).... :P

oh and we should not forget that there is only a black ops team working on DayZ SA...thats how the BI guys called it on E3 ...and not 70 people like on Arma 3. The Cargo ship looks sweet and I am really excited about seeing the prison ...now let's hope for an insane asylum :)

It is the zombie apocalypse and this dude wants to seach the bars and cafes down at the boardwalks for crimean sparkling wine... :rolleyes:

The hotel has alwas been there..and I think with Balota airstip nearby it seems realsitc that for example something has gone very wrong during take off and the plane crashed into the highest building of Cherno. :-)

that's exactly what we are suggesting for ages now :-) I am not a big fan of underground bases...i think instances could be used for dungeons though

what if the economic servers make different kinds of loot extremely rare for a specific period of time and on different servers....could lead to interesting scenarios

I don't think it is bashing, I personally find Jack and also Frankie very entertaining and the interview was well done no question, but as I stated before, I am more than happy that Rocket is not going the easy way and turning this into another FPS multiplayer game like Battlefield, CoD, Counterstrike, Crisis or whatever. People who want to play Wasteland or on 1000 vehicles+ extended military loot servers will have the chance to do so later on when modding will be fully supported. I think that a lot of the "great youtubers" are maybe a bit afraid that the DayZ SA will not be that good for making videos anymore. CoD kids prefer cool squad shoot outs and not to watch a hungry, thirsty survivor getting malaria and defending himself with a crafted spear. ;)
