He's a very busy boy, I forgot that (it's early)... I suspect a devblog will be released to coincide. :)

I heard a rumour Rocket is apparently scouting out a new map for the SA, some kind of mountainous map resembling the Himalayas. Frostbite, hmmm, I'd like to get a zed to chase me up a mountain and see how long it takes to freeze. You might find us side by side one day when the thaw comes, like the end of the Thing (80s version). One of us might still be active so watch your backs. Think I'd prefer Rocket to prepare for his trip right now and maybe hand over the PR to someone else, though he seems like a little bit of a control freak (and that's not an insult) so someone may need to have a word in his shell-like (that's 'ear' in cockney). You know it makes sense.

Flippin awesome ideas :thumbsup:

lol alright but it was an almighty provocation (being one of the masses and all).

Oh the irony. :lol:

I'd have to abandon my adidas for much of the year then, running around in all that mud and snow, they'd be destyoyed. My 14 holes will have to come out at that point.... ... and at least they're good for stomping bandits :D

Think you misunderstood mate but your point was well constrcuted lol

I do hope snobbery goes out the window come the apocalypse :rolleyes:

Finally, a voice of reason :rolleyes: I'm quite new to the pc world and I was telling my better half last night that the DayZ thing reminds me of independant music companies, that whole 'fuck the man' thing inspired by punk rock. She was asking me why I'm spending so much time lately in the DayZ universe. So 'amateurish' doesn't put me off, it's more human, just makes me nostalgic for an age that never existed...

I passed the link round work to non dayz mates, got a good reaction.

lol yeah put something up then mate

Going back to the 'celebrity youtuber' thing, one thing I would say is that it was youtubers that led me to DayZ in the first place (Seannnners of all people) and youtubers that encouraged me to download the mod (from watching he who shall not be named). Youtubers are good at voicing opinions, questions etc. They don't get camera-shy either and are good at ad libbing. I tend to give any kind of 'celebrity' a swerve unless I actually find some use from their work. And Rocket, as you're about :D ..... Immersion-wise has anyone ever suggested removing the ability to see how many other players are currently on a server? I play differently depending on how many others are on at the same time.

To be honest I'm happy with what I've seen so far and I love the whole style (or lack of) they go about sharing stuff. They have set a great benchmark for all games.

To change the topic slightly... For the next devblog they I'd like to suggest some participants: Jack Frags, Boo and (for the hard of hearing) Rhinocrunch. Think it's be a good and opiniated group to include.

Great advice but... Miss-spent youth story you're dying to tell us? Please tell me you have survived a police shoot-out :D Or too much tv? :(

That can be me sometimes but lady luck has so far presented me with what I can only describe as snipers who couldn't hit a barn door and who clearly need the practice. Tend to avoid the airfields though unless I have a decent vehicle.

I'd never thought of it that way before but yeah I'd tend to agree.

Nice idea though it might be difficult to implement, maybe something to look at a year or so down the line. It may be though, as you say, that the zeds on the standalone will be a completely different beast and more than a troublesome annoyance. The content and experience will continue to be driven by players and this will determine the longevity. I've only been playing the mod since November and I'm still finding new experiences simply from the random nature of what I encounhter in-game. Thanks for a nice post though :)

Oh the humanity, extra sweet, nice one guys :D

Was waiting for this, nce one!

I just came here for the word 'hotfix'. Sounds kind of sexy. But, yeah, thanks Devs, you do seem to get people worked up don't you. Keep it up :thumbsup:

Toshiba Satellite Pro seems to do the trick for me, no issues whatsoever. But I'm thinking of saving up for a decent game friendly pc.

Phew, I was trying to join servers which had a different arma version. Good luck guys.

Ah, my error was to update to 102591 and try and join servers on 102285, silly me lol

I've been having the battleeye problem too since the lastest updates but I'll let you know if I find a reason/solution (or indeed server that won't kick me).
