Do you really expect one person to justify the actions of about 4,138 people who own a Chernarus server?

Once, I was at NEAF. I shot at a guy once with my sniper, got some aggro, and then relocated. He left. He was wearing only a survivor skin and had an M4A1. So my friend shows up and loots while I cover, and about an hour or so later, I see the other survivor on the hill, in a ghille, crouched, with an M107 aimed right at the place. I was RUNNING, right behind him, and he didn't even see me. I had enough time to be freaked out, assess the situation, line up hipfire shot with my M40A3 and take it. He never even heard me, or turned at me at all. I've also snuck up on people a many before and have been close enough that I would have been able to hear the heartbeat had I known about it.

My friends told me about it being in the DayZ mod right now. The thing is, I don't think it's in vanilla ArmA in any way (except maybe sound effects or something), so if Dean wanted it in the mod and it's STILL there (they say it's been in a while), it's very unlikely it's not going to be in the standalone. This is why I say probably, because it is his decision and sometimes people don't do what you'd expect, or they'll find a new way, ect ect. It's a possibility not worth ruling out, to state it that way.

If you get about 30m away from someone and listen, you can hear a heart beating. The faster it is, the lower the humanity (or is it the other way around? needs confirmation). This will probably be in the SA.

Here's a suggestion for the devs: -lots of guns -lots of cars ...but really freaking messed up. Getting a car and gun should be as easy as it is now, but getting it working should be a different story. Think about it. It's been 5 YEARS. The military has scattered their weapons and now they're battered and torn, broken and need fixing. The civvies have used and used their guns and the rest lie in ever-changing conditions for the time after that. There's a lot of guns, they're just BROKEN. Getting a gun should be an effort. It makes you feel invested, and will have other effects that I don't want to make a point of because they aren't relevant to the suggestion and don't support it, and I don't want to derail this quickly on discussing these effects and whether or not I'm correct. It also gives a sentimental feeling, and makes DayZ a game that you can't just go into, shoot a bunch of people and be done with. It's now a survival game, something that people have wanted. That sniper on Elektro hill better have everything he needs to clean that grease-trap, especially the good military stuff for his high-end gun. Same with cars. There will be TONS on the roads, but they will be crashed, busted, and need fixing, and few that don't.

How about vehicles then? You all have convinced me on the guns, but what about many,broken vehicles?

Guns are rugged and dependable, but they've also been used. No doubt battered and beaten, fighting off the zombies,and that causes damage. Then they're just left there. Finding a gun shouldn't be exciting, it should be getting one WORKING that's exciting (pertaining to this idea).

This should not be a concern. It disheartens me to think even if you TRY to prevent thread derailing, people will still come in and plant the seed. So maybe I have a misconception about the year, or timeframe, but that doesn't fucking matter. You come in and say one thing that barely has to do with the thread except that it's in the OP,and you don't even give anything to the actual suggestion! Come on people. And no, this isn't queue for you to highlight a sentence and reply to me about thread derailation, topic relevance,or timeframe. You want to do that, shoot me a PM, and I'll edit as needed. Talk about the suggestion, please.

It's been known the outbreak happened for 5 years since 2007, to 2012,and also DayZ 2017 is set 10 years after the infection 5 MORE years after this DayZ.

Proving your innocence? You obviously have NO idea about facts. A fact -can be proven. -cannot be disproven. -has evidence to back it up. Ok, well... you provided those, so you do know about facts. BUT, it is so ludicrously presented that I actually CHUCKLED while reading your thread. DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO MAKE ME LAUGH? Very. Here's the problem(s). Numbero Uno- Oooh, looky, pictures of your files. How do I know that you didn't just delete the hacks? And a picture of your downloads folder? How do I know that you didn't just delete the files from there? Because you're not smart enough to realize that pictures of those places won't prove your innocence, so you wouldn't of thought of deleting them? Psh... Moving on... Deux-

Well when you post one picture and you don't show any improvement pictures at all or explicitly say THIS IS NOT THE FINISHED PRODUCT, then people think "They've finished it, and now they've moved on to something else." I can understand when they think that RIGHT AWAY, how it makes you chuckle, but really after that it's hard to remember that they're PROBABLY doing more stuff, even if they don't say it. Here is when you get a quote and prove me false, but I'm talking in general, and I don't remember when they showed these faces.

The asian guy looks like he's looking at something disgusting, the caucasian looks like he just got caught doing something bad (and is trying to act natural), and the black guy is keeping his cool. Just a little bit.... No? Maybe try closing one eye, cocking your head to the right, then squinting the other, and putting an eyepatch over it. See it now?

They're taking an MMOish RPGish turn to DayZ. Most likely it will follow FO and those will be defaults with sliders that edit your face. Expect to see lots of derp in the near future (IF they have slider functionality).

They can also: -get the mail -bite the mailman -get you sued -get zombified -betray you -rip out your guts -get in the way of your shot -eat all your food -drag around a really smelly corpse you've tried to get rid of but it always keeps finding it because it smells so bad and you really wish it would drop it for some soap

Oh no, here comes the "humanists".... Better pick up your knapsack and run pal; they're coming, coming fast, and ain't nothin' gonna stop those boys from picking you up and tearing you to peices- Bit. By. Boring. Bit.

Or.... join Balota Buddies. All the regulars from the forums hang out there, no joke. You want a list? I can give it to you, but I forgot to eat lunch today (silly me, forgetting to eat) so I don't have time because I might eat my monitor if I keep typing omnomnom *i really need to eat something or I'll keep typing weird things*

Do I see a conspiracy thread?

You don't decide if hackers are a problem; hackers decide if hackers are a problem.

The eternal quest. Just wait for the standalone. Everything is just about waiting for the goddamn standalone. It's probably a joke at their office; they never intend to release it publicly, just talk about it and release gameplay to wiggle it in our noses.

Smiles help everything. Here you goes. :D :thumbsup: :rolleyes: B) B) :) :P

Oh, wow, another guy who doesn't read the post all the way (or misinterprets it) and then assumes everything! I can do it too, you know. Let me explain where this opinion comes from. Before I played DayZ, and there was side-chat, I saw videos, and the people making them didn't like it. "I wish side chat was gone." "Gah! This text is annoying!" Also, when I would go on the forums (also PRE-meplayingDayZ) I saw threads about it. Now, don't ask me to go digging up threads from 6 months ago and find content from an account I don't even own anymore, because that would be ridiculous. Like me asking you to take a census on the ACTUAL amount of people who don't enjoy sidechat so you can prove people don't share my opinion. Which they don't, and I know, but if people didn't want side-chat gone, then why were there threads and why did it end up getting removed? Therefore, PEOPLE wanted it gone. Not ALL people, not A FEW people, just people. And you can't deny that. That's where my opinion came from, and I don't give a damn if anyone else shares it. But people do. There's one right here on the thread. So you have yours, I have mine, and I understand that, so don't pick on me like I don't. That is all I ask for.

1. I thought public hives were getting shut down soon due to lack of management required to run them and abundance of private hives. 2. Judging by your ability to ask ridiculous questions you don't know much about ArmA (which is fine, but I digress), so you might be missing something very early on and not knowing it's wrong. In other words, we need a more detailed description of things. First, I would recommend downloading DayZ Commander as you have done, ONLY installing the beta patch and the DayZ patch in the install/update section. Then, try joining a private hive server. If it works, then something is wrong with the hive. If not, it's on you. If it's on you, check to see if it says @DayZ at the top right part of your monitor when you start up ArmA. If not, go to Expansions, and enable beta, expansion, ArmA II, ArmA II Operation Arrowhead, BAF Lite (in fact, ALL the "lite" expansions you have). Then, restart the game like it will ask you, and try it. If it still does not work, post your progress and findings back here.

I feel like everything rocket does people try to regress. First, we had DayZ. Then, mods started coming out. Now, you have modded DayZ that is exactly like ArmA was in the first place! Add loot and zombies. The point of saying this observation is that people wanted side-chat gone, and they did it, and now it's everywhere again and it's just clogging up my screen. Sure, I have nice conversations with the people on there and enjoy the social aspect, but that's not what DayZ is and I can very well get some friends to talk to in Steam, TS, or IRL while I play, or even play with. Side chat should be gone. Yet it's still there.... Anyway, I first posted this and was like: "Oh no, thread derailation imminent!" So I'm back to comment on the OP. That was an interesting story, but I thought you got no humanity from killing zombies?
