There is no story, intentionally. The game is entirely what you want it to be--within reason, of course.

He's talking about, most likely, in the SA, which IS CONFIRMED to have weapon degradation. Anyway: I think that a 1-in-5 chance of a jam is a bit much.

...you're reaaaally late. They've been in the game for like 2 and a half weeks at this point.

The Russians will crack/repack it before the game is actually released.

Just found a new screen saver. (First picture. The man's dog really touched me :) )

1 It's inconvenient for "Team players" and the like 2 Availability of public servers for different regions in considerable numbers (think it; there's 3 servers for Seattle alone, at the minimum) doesn't necessitate regional release to reduce server resource stress 3 No matter where it gets released to first, there's going to be a bunch of pissed people without good cause 4 Unfair advantage for players in the first-release regions against second, third, or fourth waves. Think about it; most titles/hardware that releases "regionally" has weeks if not months between moving to a new region. If, say, the game got released to the Cz Republic, Russia, and Finland (for argument's sake), then a week later the UK, Ireland, et cetera west european countries, then a week later the rest of the European countries/Asia, and then a week later USA/Canada/western hemisphere, the west is going to be 3+ weeks behind everyone else. And there's two problems with that: Unfair advantage aforementionedThe first wave is going to buy the game in gluttony, sign in, and start finding bugs. The second wave is going to be a more static, hesitant sales source as they wait to see how the game pans out. Finally the third wave, after a month of watching the game on Youtube, grows bored with the idea in its entirety and sales become a slow, trickling process. So no.

Hell NO they're not doing a regional release.

So marking someone would warn them and make them invincible for five seconds to run and get cover..? Regardless the idea is flawed. Good intentions, but how is this going to help the game? An OBVIOUS and extremely useful way to shoot people "with impunity" isn't that fun and I certainly don't think this belongs in DayZ.

...the fuck? Bandits would just mark everyone they were going to shoot so they'd never lose humanity.

How to rage quit DayZ forever. 1. Play for 1-3 weeks without dying. 2. Get taken hostage during an electrical storm 3. Loose internet connection for 3 seconds (+/-) 4. Scream at your computer at the top of your lungs. I don't think getting your character deleted is fair in any capacity. I would not mind a system like the current "You're in combat, wait 30 seconds to log out," except there's a 5 minute+ timer. But haven't we ALL been in the situation before where we have to leave, our mother/wife/child is nagging us, we're 1 second away from logging out, and then some asshole zombie wacks you through a *wall and you can't log out? It's a massive pain in the ass. (I'm not saying a penalty is a bad idea; I'm saying exactly how harsh it is needs to be balanced against fun)

That should be all you need... although I don't use DZ Commander for anything. I'm 90% sure that will work with the in-game browser. I never had to port forward anything when I ran my own server

1. You don't need to forward any ports 2. Go to http://www.whatismyip.com

"Big Dick Granny" was reaaaally common on a couple of public servers I used to play on. I'd literally sit in my car in the woods (so zombies wouldn't bother me) and watched side chat until one of the many *bleep* that had that pseudonym said "meet me in Cherno" or something similar and it'd be like "Hunter mode, activated..." Same thing with homophobic, racist, immature, inappropriate, mean-spirited usernames, especially if it was the kind of asshole to have a name like "N****r Crow Jim" (true story) that blasts his shitty little mic in side chat, and you can tell it's some scrawny white child trying to be a big, bad cholo. Probably my proudest moment, for morality's sake, in DayZ was one time this... child aforementioned crashed his bike into a bush next to me. With my lonely fireaxe, I turned to him and asked if he needed morphine/bandages out of the kindness of my heart. His immediate reaction is screaming stuff that would make Xbox kiddies cringe and blamed me for his crashing. He (being him, of course) had one of the LMGs and said he was going to shoot me. I ran in a circle and he sprayed the entire 200+ box into the woods. I chopped his racist ass up when he started reloading. P.S. not that I watch the show anyway (I'm not a Walking Dead fan in any capacity, save TTG's RPG), thanks for spoiling that the governor is a bad guy. I could already guess that out of him being a bureaucrat but c'mon... P.S. again: I've gotten attacked a LOT in Minecraft for having the name "Apple Jaxc," which is not related to My Little Pony in ANY capacity whatsoever... Seriously. It'

OOOOOH MY GOOOOD YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Why a stadium? For what sport? No "screamers" or zombies with any kinds of powers, in any capacity. 8. No. You're fucked. Also Rocket went back on his word and said they'd respawn in depopulated zones. :( 10. I thinnnnnk he's said that...? 11. Awesome idea.

Hard work = food. Mmm... food...

You absolutely can, TIC. :)

Ever heard of "Nuclear Winter" ? One major concern of a nuclear war for countries not hit my the weapons themselves is that all the dust, ash, and debris kicked up into the atmosphere would act not unlike a permanent "cloudy day," blocking most of the sun's rays and lowering the earth's temperature. IN all likelihood such an event wouldn't drop the global temperature very much, but it would definitely be a big enough concern if you're "downwind" (so to speak) from where bombs fell, able to make up for if not surpass light pollution in a developing nation like Chernarus.

Well... with the nuclear war in other countries... it's amazing we can see the night sky at all. No but in all seriousness, I'd like to see nights where the atmosphere is too thick with crap/sky is too muddled to be able to see the sky.

Really? It's preeeetty common...

Damn. He got told.

I can confirm this server seems to garble your hive data. >.> I lost binoculars, a M1911, and 1 makarov magazine. I guess all-in-all it could have been worse. :)

I don't think immediately assuming he's mentally challenged is entirely fair; he had to deal with, from the likes of things, a rather frustrating event. It's fair, I think, to approach the situation with the understanding that he's likely got the so-called admin itchy trigger finger when it comes to anything that might possible be conceived as another threat to the sanctity of his server. If I saw someone write "these zombies are talking to each other," I'd be fairly suspicious as well (albeit not so that I'd immediately kick/ban someone for it). I don't think he was mature in his response and actions handling the situation, but your zero-tolerance response to his own zero-tolerance policy seems a little hypocritical. But hey, that's my Devil's Advocate 2-cents.

...WHICH ONE? XD

Or better yet, in his "global economy," he makes sure there's only 1 paint can ever at a time. Think about it: The awesome power to put a penis anywhere you want would be yours alone so long as you had the pant! That would be worth hunting down and murdering players for.
