Awesome. Now make it so I can "Pre-order" the game right now. So your studio can see the numbers even more! Im going to laugh my fuckin ass off. Once this game outsells all Arma games combined. I totally see it happening, even without marketing. Make your boss realize, he should be putting more focus on Dayz. I bet Dayz ends up front page on a few respectable magazines. Where Arma I bet has never seen one.

I see this working. But you must install the 2-same games, in different directories. Still only need 1 steam install, 2 accounts. For rocket to implement 2 different accounts for 1 game. I think would be a dire mistake. That many would abuse. Oh you died? Get your other account, that has a gun and is laying in the brush. Right where you were scavenging. Shit would be lame.... As is, buying 2 games. Eliminates most that. If the engine doesnt conflict. I could easily, easily. Run 2 arma2 on my single PC. This game is not the resource hog people think. Compared to what hardware is currently out.

No. Make cannibalism an option instead, for low humanity.

This dont even matter. Rocket cant stop manual settings on a monitor or video card settings, outside of the game. I can make my shit do 2shades of color. BAM i see everything. Can even make T&L lighting mimic to any way I want, for most part. Along with any shader, or tool they use. To produce the graphics. Little handy program used for laptops, that dont have T&L lighting or shader support. Software emulates. At same time, you can spoof it. To operate different than intended. Such as making "rockets pitch black" visible. But this is why, I dont play at night. Not because I cant see shit. But because everybody and they daddy, just works around it. So while the "geeks" run around with emulated "night vision"(yes, i can make it look almost like the NVG. Except full screen). The rest are looking and looking for goggles. That dont mean jack to a true "geek". Which makes it stupid and a eye strain, to even bother with nighttime play. Id love it, if it truly worked as intended. But I cant see that day. Unless he can make all objects 1 color. I dont ever see this happening. Which is why, he went pitch black to begin with. Even with low end video cards, these days. This is possible.

Pretty expensive pc? I say not. 300-400 bucks will net you a viable gaming computer. Compared to consoles thats in the same ball park. Except your computer has more value. Even in games. Cause then you get awesome free mods, like Dayz.... Then a simple port is not sufficient. If they choose to do that. They'd need to rebuild the entire game, to fit into the console world. Or it will just suck, compared to the pc counterpart. Plants vs Zombies. Is a good example. The game is different on console, by far. But the core is the same.

Atleast, they do permanent bans here.... All games should permanent ban for cheating. Like bf3, all they do is erase your stats. Some bullshit....

I vote yes. Given the game is based in Russia. Its against the law, to own a handgun or full-auto weapon there. Be hard pressed to have a gun at home, that wasnt a hunting rifle. Even though... I own 2 handguns and a assault rifle at home. My 2 closest friends own fire arms as well. But this is in America. But painkillers nope, cept for booze or drugs. Then canned food, morphine, and canteen. I do not have at home. Canned food is bad for you. But id eat a human, if push came to shove.

Anybody else get a email about a dayz security breach? I believe what I received in email, is phishing. For it contains many grammar errors. Then use of common words, versus educated words. I don't follow links in email, unless i create them anyway. Then my password for this forum. Is a bullshit one for this forum anyway. But I'd like to know. How did they email me? is my email broadcasted on my account for these forums? Or was this indeed a real email?

Or this guy should not, write anymore official emails :P

Im not going to be mad. I bought arma2 for dayz. Id gladly open my damn wallet. Pre-order anything in existence for Dayz. Just to support the game that I wanna play. But they seriously need to match, or be cheaper for their product(on their own website). Than what steam sells it for. I bought my copy on steam. It was indeed cheaper, atleast for Americans. Hell I already gotten 120+hours out of a Mod in alpha state. Totally worth my 30 bucks, and then some. Bring me a polished Dayz in retail form. Id gladly fork over pre-order money blindly for this game. Long as Rocket maintains and does what he loves. Then Id gladly fork over money for arma3. Just to play dayz more. Long as Rocket, keeps working on the mod. Otherwise, Ill wait for a price drop. Because truly, I dont like arma. I like some the mechanics. Such as looking over my shoulder. But this is mainly due to, not being able to join a server consistently. Which is funny, cause the free mod dayz. I have no problems finding a server.....

I keep finding the tool to trench for sand bags. Have no clue on how to use it though. Nor does google, atleast for me. Believe it was called a "entrenchment tool" Looks like a folded shovel. But most sand bags Ive seen, were glitched. Like sunk in the ground of sorts.

It would destroy the game. They might as well make Cod50, by your terms. Then throw zombies in it. What they should do. Is put in more fortifications things for players. Then clans would have something to do. Then you could join a clan. Then not ruin the game. I can see clan wars for supplies or posts, due to this. Which would happen in real life. Will be murderous clans, friendly clans. Then would stop some of "fire on sight" mentality. For if certain clans play on 1 server(that saves the fortifications). Then you'd be familiar with certain players. Then team up on any new name that crossed yer sights. Could even require people in your clan to wear certain outfits. That idea does not break the game. Then it also uses more brain power. Than said fake numbers, to make this Cod with zombies.

I paid for the mod. Arma2 sucks, dont like it. Find it highly confusing with so many expansions/mods. Makes it super hard to find a server. Be different, if I played it at its peak. But Dayz, i find a game easy. Then Im not with the others. Who say fix it now! i paid for it! But I indeed paid for it... I know its a mod. But if the developers of arma2. Cant see the gem that is Dayz. I dunno what to tell them. They should already be all on it, running with it. Look at how popular this mod is, its not even marketed. Just a bunch of zombie fans, searching for zombies. Then finding a super nice mod. This mod will outsell all sales of arma combined. If done right. Its a gold mine in the making in a MMO setting. Market for simulated warfare is not even remotely close to zombie fanatics. That are dieing for a game like this. Which there is not a flooded market for. I feel thats what all these "QQ fix it now" people want. Is for the studio to take this game, then sell it on its own. Id pre-order it in a heartbeat. Along with any expansions. Long as the love for the game remains from Rocket. Or tack it on for arma3 as a actual game mode. Watch it drive the sales of that game. Then sell expansions separate for each, including dayz. Anything where they get more (paid) developers, to polish the product. Im all for. BTW love the attitude Rocket :] I know this game, will have a heavy impact on all future endevours for Mr. Rocket. Im sure he's held in much higher like, at current studio because of it. One look at server listings for "Arma2" is all the proof I need.

Yeah I dont like this idea either. Breaks part of the games foundation. But... Once the game is done. I see people having clan servers. I see fortifications of sorts in place. Then I see clan wars of sorts, over goods. One clan may be hording. Then fully persistent on that server. So if and when that happens. Youll know who is a new guy, who is not. Much similar in a situation if it were real. Banding with a group, long term. Im sure this already happens, but on a small scale.

Shouldent just immediately bash a dude, with a idea. If you first settle on an argument. How would you maintain an open mind. I feel everyone here is right. Middle ground would be, keep it the same. But do the OP idea only on soldier zombies. Or certain items, like say new skins. Drop from zombies only. What they are wearing, is what you might get. I see that making it better. While giving chase to kill certain zombies.

I bought arma2 just for this mod. But apparently, you dont have to buy the bundle. Just arrowhead, then free version of arma2. But you lose out on some eye candy. From what ive been told. After about 3 weeks of dayz, I decided to finnally try arma2 regular multiplayer. What i found is, that dayz is more popular than said game. By far........ Server/player wise currently. They should put arma3 on backburner. Throw it up for dayz official debut :P.

Lol this is funny. If anything some guys speaking in Russian in chat. Adds to the realism, since its based in Russia, is it not? damn right hilarious lol

Ive noticed this to, but its always been so. Takes like a extra sec for a zombie to drop. But this is more a fix for beta, than alpha. Its not game breaking. But clearly due to, latency.

Make blood bags only usable on someone else, part of blood transfusion. Make it so people can actually group. Then require people, to have say 2-5 people in their group. In order to fix a car or heli. Make more vehicles spawn. Increase number in group, depending on how good the vehicle/heli is. Make motorcyle or bicycle for solo people, but scarce. Make it so if your in a group. That your temperature lowers slower, due to body heat from each other. Make groups have the ability to share, a can of beans or water. But split it accordingly, far as how much you receive back. There for, still takes same amount of food for max refill. But 1 guy can help another slightly, if both are in need. Give more alert to gunfire, when in a group. To pinpoint PK'ers. I dont have a solid idea to achieve this though. But realistically it makes sense. Be different, if everybody was actually talking. But has to be a way to do it, then still be realistic. But for say a slain group member, by gun fire. Make a blood splat on floor from body, to general direction of PK'er. Be a good start. Feel these ideas fit the game more accordingly. Than any class system that would break, current experience. Or any idea, that makes it feel more as a game, instead of survival.

1min per -1k humanity. max 5-10min wait on respawn. So regardless if you had -1k or -100k, 5-10mins max. If both players are positive humanity, one opens fire. Other defends and kills. You will not go to -1k off 1 survivor kill. Self defense or not. Took me 2 kills to become a bandit. Would force bandits to go for targets worth the time, such as one showcasing a spanky gun or backpack. For if you are already a bandit, you will get another -1k per kill easily. Anybody that flat out disagrees with any type of system for this. Just plain out wants to play deathmatch and not survive anyway.

I understand the not being able to hop over or remove the barb wire. Which should be fixed. But the part about changing servers, then doing this repeatedly to barracks on other servers. Slightly evades me. For anytime i ever logged into a server, inside a building. No items would spawn or zombies in my immediate vicinity. Unless there was a player really really close by, already there. But if i ran a good distance, say 300-500m away. Then relogged into same server. All items would respawn. Im pretty sure it is coded to be this way.
