No. That's bloody impressive for DayZ. Do you own ArmA 3?

30-40 is NOTHING to complain about. Anyway: The game takes a few minutes to spawn in all the zombies and wrecks and whatnot around you. Since they aren't loaded right away, your PC has no strain at first.

What server?

Wait... are you trading a M24 for antibiotics or antibiotics for an M24? Because we may or may not have a deal.

I can tell the OP doesn't know very much about games. The MMO architecture affects how the clients and server interact. How scripts are run, player movement gets tracked, et cetera. Core game mechanics are NOT affected by this.

Bitching doesn't fix the game. Have you tried Google? Have you tried an anger management class? Everyone has problems, okay? So calm your tits. Have you updated your OA Beta? Are you even running the Beta patch? ...

If you find one that has enough fuel and repair to fly, fly it over Cherno/Elektro and bail. Make sure you don't parachute onto a building you can't get off of (or game over). The helicopter will scare the fuck out of someone. Shoot that someone when they go to investigate.

As in, you want to play singleplayer? You're kind of missing the point of the game, but google DaiZy or DayZ Singleplayer?

God dammit. Pages are ALREADY CONFIRMED to have notes left on them. Okay? You can't leave them on walls (which would create intense lag quickly), but you can leave them on bodies, in loot piles, in your car, et cetera.

Hmm. Maybe it's an issue of 2 PCs trying to connect to a server from the same IP base/router. I don't know. I've never dealt with such a situation.

...what?

And only you get this problem? How good is your internet connection? Is your DZ up to date? Have you updated your Arma 2 OA Beta?

Who's server is it? Sometimes a server has a hard time fetching your GUID information. How many times have you played the server before?

Lot's of well-received games have amusing easter eggs, from the Cake Room in Portal to the Turret Concert in Portal 2, or the dancing animations in ArmA and the dancing, insane Grunts in each Halo game. Because we all need our shits and giggles in the zombie apocalypse, why not easter eggs in the SA? Nothing too silly or simple; they need to be a real pain in the ass to find and figure out. Such a pain in the ass that six or seven patches could be out by the time anyone even knows they exist. Idea: Put a skull in every city, with a single letter or number on it. Each letter is part of a message from the dev team. But rather than it being something as simple as an anagram something with simple dyslexic skills could figure out, the order should have a hint, like it goes in alphabetical order. Let's say there's these cities and letters: Alf: D Jerome: G Benvil: O Alphabetically, it would spell "Dog." The order could also be deduced by city size (smallest to largest, vice-versa). If there are easter eggs, people should work for it. Also: Release an update every December for the winter holidays that drops the temperature of Chernarus to freezing. If you don't have a jacket, you're dead.

This idea is bad; have you ever taken out the trash before? You should know how ungainly and inconvenient a bag full of a crap (sometimes literally, if you have dogs and/or babies) is to carry around? Imagine that, except your driveway is twice as long a walk to your garbage can. Now three times as long, and your bag weighs twice as much. Now you're being chased by zombies and you could be shot at any moment, and you're trying to hold your AK47 in one hand.

I use tab and tilda. Anyway: There's good reason for leaving gamma and brightness in, and that's to maximize all-accessibility to all consumers. Not everyone's PC has an optimized display for gaming, and are too dark, especially old computers. I have 2 TVs from before 2005 and five. One is too small for today's formating, and because Microsoft and Sony don't want to waste time and energy on outdated, low-priority consumers such as myself, no reformat options are available to display a game without the sides cut off. Both TVs have extreme difficulty with text and color; every game is extremely dark. Without the gamma/brightness settings on in GTA4, I literally would be a black blob running around black nothing getting nothing done. (I of course have a modern TV I now* use which is fantastic. Can't wait for the PS4's 4K display. BF4 is going to be amazing) Suffice to say, for the sake of playing Devil's Advocate, there's good reason to leave them in. Even if it's not an option, you can change your PCs brightness and gamma outside of the game (and it doesn't give you the washed-out, white-on-gray display that ArmA does when gamma is turned up)

Not sure if trolling or legitimately stupid. With a box of Apple Jacks cereal in front of the International Hotel.

As long as they've got Brisk Iced Tea, I don't care what they call everything else.

The very end scares the fuck out of me. "..incase I find something I'm allergic to." Dammit Rocket! All players should be on an equal playing field at start.

If you're flying against a pilot good enough to close 800 meters, circle, do it again in the opposite direction, and fly back, then you're just shit out of luck because that's impressive.

Then good on them, and I wish them the best of luck in trying to find a populated, vanilla private server. I don't see the point in it, though. Sure public servers have ghosters, "reportedly" more hacker incidents, and all sorts of other issues, but you don't see them getting DDOS'd to high heaven and dying more often gives me a lot more reason to play.

I try, Raymond. I try. Those damn KFC agents are always watching...

Anonymous, the NSA, the CIA, the FBI, KFC, M1A1, M4A1, CCTV, CNET, and the PAA are secretly formed together to prevent dayz.st from building a giant moon cannon to destroy the world's supply of penguin.

No... there's plenty of bandits that play to kill because they're dicks. Bullshit if you think a NVG ghillie suit DMR bandit kills fresh spawns with the intent to collect painkillers and starter backpacks.

You can outfly an Osprey easy, if you're a good pilot. The awkward plane/helicopter Osprey controls force the Osprey to take huge births to turn while going top speed. Most helicopters can pull their nose up, flip around, and use ArmA's weird physics to literally throw themselves in the opposite direction. The Osprey will take too much time to recover to catch up.
