I am very happy you guys have decided to revert the change. It was incredibly unnecessary, silly and just flat out broke immersion. You guys do a great job of being community leaders by being moderators but inserting yourself into the actual mod? Come on..

Dayz Commander/Taviana - A question for the community
switch296 replied to dotjosh's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Can we have an ETA on how long until this is up on Commander seeing as the server files are public? Really keen to start playing Taviana -
DayZ standalone will use Real Virtuality 4 engine!
switch296 replied to oZiix's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
The minimum specs for Arma 3 are incredibly reasonable and it's been stated numerous times that if you can run Arma2 well, you will be able to run Arma3 well. Would you really want DayZ to go standalone on the pathetic Arma2 engine it's run on now? It's ugly, clunky, hackable as all hell and is missing a huge amount of wonderful features that the Arma3 one has. Stop stressing! -
Why is a helicopter an ambient sound?
switch296 replied to omgwtfbbq (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Then your sound is bugged, you are mishearing things or your sound system/sound card is crapping out. I've got hundreds of hours in DayZ and never once heard the sound you are describing unless there is a helicopter nearby, nor have I heard anyone else mention the issue you are having. -
New map for standalone possible?
switch296 replied to Ixnay Hombre's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I really hope he does, using Chernarus again would most likely put me off buying the standalone, at least until other maps were added. Chernarus is a nice map and all, but it's incredibly boring if you actually think about it for a minute. There is no underground structures, no big underground, multi level carparks, no mines/tunnels, no caves, no rivers, no varied and interesting terrain.. I just think they can do a lot better than Chernarus. -

switch296 replied to omgwtfbbq (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
There is no such thing. You most likely are actually hearing a helicopter off in the distance but cannot see it, as the sound travels for around a kilometre I believe. -
I have never experienced a Hacker...

You're also incredibly unlikely to see other players.. the one thing that makes this mod interesting. -
The biggest problems facing DayZ right now

I also think this would be a great idea. Have tents as a backup weapon/survival gear storage instead of "I'm going to put 10 pairs of NVGs, GPS, Rangefinders and 50 calibre sniper rifles" storage :) I totally agree that permadeath is ruined by having tents that save gear after death and it sucks. -
Hacking is ridiculous at the moment, impossible to play for more than few hours without losing your character to nukes/teleporting/thunderdoming/etc Feels pretty pointless to play at the moment.

switch296 replied to donakowski1@gmail.com's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
You are either incredibly lucky or don't play very often :) If I sit down for a 4-6 hour DayZ session it's almost guaranteed I will be hit by a hacker once or twice. -
NVG's are more common right now than anything else - I've come across probably 30 or so pairs in the last few days, I leave the majority of them behind just because they are so worthless now.

My first death to a server-wide nuke by a hacker.
switch296 replied to Muncywolverine's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Had me and half my clan killed when a hacker turned everyone into the soldier skin while we were in a helicopter before, we all fell to our deaths and the helicopter exploded. -

switch296 replied to switch296's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I think this would be a great solution, although I do predict the majority of people will dislike this.. but at the end of the day, it's much better than having almost every single player you come across kitted out with nvgs/gps/thermals/as50, etc. -

I totally know what you mean by saying DayZ is an anti-game and yes, it is true that Rocket has said this. But, Rocket has also stated he is working on endgame.. I totally know what you mean by the game can't have a linear path of what you do but what I mean by end game is things we can do in game once we are fully geared up and have gotten past the initial "survive" stage of the game.. we need to be able to survive and then thrive somehow. Through making bases, farming, which then create communities like what you are talking about. Having anarchy and chaos is good but we need to be able to work towards rebuilding the world which I think would really bring people together and hopefully stop a lot of the constant kill-on-sight attitude that players have at the moment. -

That's really lucky for you but fact of the matter is that hacking is an epidemic right now - The majority of my clan has simply given up on the game because of it. I've been nuked, thunderdomed or carpet bombed a dozen or so times in the last 48 hours. Even Rocket himself was "thunderdomed" on a machinima live stream the other day. But yeah guys, don't let the thread just become discussion for hacking as there is already a thousand threads for that - please give your thoughts on the other issues I brought up :)
