*cough* Public hive *cough* At the very least, you won't join a server where there's a 30-man TS bandit squad with all the map's aircraft and cars loaded up with assault rifles/etc hunting you down.

Choosing your spawn is bullshit. That's the nicest way I can put it. No, I can make an analogy: Adding chosen spawns to a survival game that prides itself on *DISorientation is like paying a professional hitman to fix someone's breaks, so they won't crash going downhill.

Minecraft, Don't Starve, 7 Days to Die, Tekkit, Dungeons and Dragons, Deadlands Weird West/Hell on Earth, Shadowrun, D20 Modern... all of these games have 3 things in common: They're fun as hellThere's no endpointThey're played all the time DayZ doesn't run anymore risk than any other multiplayer game when it comes to "Now what?" What do you do after you finish prestiging in CoD? Keep playing. What do you do when you reach level 100 in Battlefield? You keep playing. What do you do when you finish your epic castle in Minecraft? You build a second one! The game is only boring when you say it is. So calm down, suicide your character, and start over.

It still does run the risk of stepping on people's toes, though. *shrug* I can understand why you would want it (fun little easter eggs), but really they're going to harm player's creativity and serve as nothing more than frame-dropping zombie-attractors.

And sometimes you can loot dead bodies as opposed to just the wreck? And zombies don't spawn around the wreck, but start running towards the chopper when it crashes? (So if it goes down 100m to your left, and there's zombies 100m to your right, you're in the middle of a shitstorm)

Or change it to "The Game of Life" a.k.a. Codename Futility, or "Who pissed in your Cheerios this morning, GrumpyCat?" Anyway I would find this change a little constraining; the inhuman frequency in which you must eat and drink to balance difficulty with realism means that the amount of food/water you must horde would leave backpacks falling apart in minutes.

Why did you say "No it wouldn't" ? Your post and mine have the same exact mindset... minus the anger towards 3A publishers.

Rocket said not at FIRST. He wants to get cheating control/architecture quality/server reliability to 1000% before he opens to modding. He's acknowledged that DayZ wouldn't be around if it wasn't for BI's amazing attitude towards modders, and it would be wrong not to consider allowing modders take a crack at the SA. I hope he includes an editor and lets us make singleplayer missions. :(

...the military offroad got taken out?

Yes. Unless you're me and Chernarus is essentially your summer home... in which you spend every winter, spring, summer, and fall...

1: About the same bandit-player ratio as WarZ 2: Arguably. More rarity but unrealistic ratio of military loot to civilian. There aren't hats everywhere. 3: A mod of DayZ made by a group of fans that adds a lot of really silly features, like NPC trading hubs/invincibility zones/custom bases. 4: (REAL) DayZ servers run on a 1:1 ratio with real life; if it's 2:00 PM real life it'll be 2:00 PM in the game. However, because Rocket unfortunately lets people run private servers, most have bullshit 4 hour day/night cycles or 24/7 daylight.

It was released yesterday.

Note: This isn't supposed to be an inflammatory thread in any way, shape, or form. Both men and women have differences that are essential to the survival and continuity of the human race. Both men and women have incredible examples of historical prominence and I don't think one is better than the other. The information I intend to present is 100% factual, and I would appreciate it if everyone refrained making non-constructive remarks as to the differences in genders. Thank you. That being said: DayZ is going to pride itself on realism, right? And as we all know, you can choose as to whether you want to be a man or a woman. To date however, Rocket hasn't said anything about how those choices will affect the game besides the purely cosmetic. I don't want there to be a stat difference between genders in the Standalone. I know that isn't realistic, but men having a better carrying capacity etc isn't fun, and I think it's something where fun outways realism. My suggestion, then, is that next time Rocket has a press statement about the Standalone, he says that men and women will be equal in the stand alone and why. It's a suggestion I've had about a few things; Rocket has said a few things (or hasn't) and I suggest he explains why more often and more thoroughly.

Yeah well. Well... well... I... um... *KNOCKOUT PUNCH!* ... did that work?

I still roleplay! My character is a criminally insane sociopath who shoots everyone on a never-ending quest to become the last "human" on earth.

Because the point of this thread was to disway an attitude in support of giving men and women different stats in DayZ. It has absolutely nothing to do with a world political view that is trying to be expressed; the undeniable difference between men and women has been noted and established in the thread purely for the sake of argument wholly in the vacuum of the context of the DayZ Standalone. This wasn't an attempt, and shouldn't be considered one, to raise awareness of anything other than a possible error in the upcoming title aforementioned.

Okay, okay... But (just to play Devil's Advocate, I'm not looking to fight you) for the sake of fun: You slave away on a character that somehow survives for a month. You got a medical dictionary and a guidebook on natural medicine from the Electro hospital, a manual on firearms from the police station, and a guide to cars from the local mechanic. You've slowly taught yourself to hunt animals, set traps, and hide. Bam! helicopter crashes into your tent while you're sleeping, killing you instantly. ...have fun building back up.

...well, at least you were nice about it. XD I don't know. I like using it as a comparison. I used to think for a long time that Nvidia card performance was the opposite of what it is now, mostly because I never got a straight answer from anyone in the "Can I Run it?" thread or elsewhere. At the very least it showed me how each one stacked up, and the difference between "M" (mobile) and non-M cards.

I'm saying men are bred for athleticism and that their strong, male children are more likely to procreate whereas their female children aren't given the opportunity to develop muscularly regardless of their genes.

Well, that's true. But if you're normal and buy a computer with 1280x720 you still get a good estimate. I personally signed up because you can set a "My PC stats" that will auto-fill every game you check, saving a lot of time.

....I'm not really qualified to answer that... um... 3.8Ghz sounds goot for hosting, same with DDR3. 100mbp/s sounds a little slow... I think my laptop's wifi card is faster than that.

It reallllly depends on hardware and bandwidth... The max players you can have in ArmA is something like 408~500

But it can answer based on lots of different games, tell you if planned purchases are a good idea, and if you need to upgrade.

I appreciate it. That auto-run feature is great.
