People aren't going to have skills. It should be down to how good you are rather than if you have better skills than the other guy. With a lot more zombies, shooting your weapon will hopefully become much more of a risk. Suggestions like sanity (that have been suggested a million times over) force players to play a certain way and that's one thing the developers are trying to avoid so it's certainly not going to happen either.

Yep, the time listed is the in-game time (or should be anyway)

It helps if you include where you live so we know which timezone you're in!

Everyone says they are friendly. I don't know what people expect: 'No, I'm going to kill you when I get the first opportunity.'

1) It depends on the restart schedule 2) Some people login after restarts, loot areas, then log off again and repeat it later until they are geared. 3) Cross your fingers

I don't think they will allow 'layering' so to speak but that's more to keep the game balanced. At the moment you have to make sacrifices to have things waterproofed - they are generally lighter garments and the bags etc. have less slots than their non-waterproof counterparts. The same thing goes for camouflage, you have to sacrifice a lot of carrying capacity in order to use a Ghille Suit. All of this forces players to keep equipment for each eventuality in order to ensure they are properly protected and I reckon it will work quite well.

Although I've already got a private server, I might come visit you guys at some point and give it a wee bash.

He can't because it's all pretty much spot on. I think most of the issues are due to the relative frequency that such military gear appears rather than the 'strength' of the weapon, this is mainly down to the fact that weapon choices are more limited at this time and it will certainly change as development progresses and loot tables are balanced. They've already talked about how they want more emphasis on the weaponry that would be more readily available in the region to civilians and increasing the scarcity of the 'higher end' military weapons and equipment. I'd love more of an emphasis on civilian weaponry and equipment but at this point in development it's perfectly understandable that military weaponry (because there is a lot of it) will be more common.

Hey there man, The bans were not added by us (DayZ Discussion Moderators) but the Steam Community Moderators that volunteer directly for Valve/Steam. I, nor most of the other mods think it was the right course of action and I've already mentioned it to the developers that they are causing problems. Hicks has seen it first hand that they like to meddle, they have closed his thread, he would open it, they would close it, he would open it, over and over. Rossums DayZ Discussion Moderator.

Players are already told to use the search function before they make a new thread - nobody does that. I don't see how adding another sticky is going to fix the fact that people just won't read the rules in the first place. It's already something they should be doing.

Aww, he thinks people actually read the stickies. Cute.

It should run fine massam. I run it using Windows 8.1 through Bootcamp Utility and it runs at a steady 30ish FPS on medium/high @ 1680x1050. I'm using the latest Macbook Pro with Retina Display - Quad 2.3/3.3GHz i7 - 16GB RAM - 2GB NVIDIA 750M - 512GB SSD Ignore the idiots, they have no idea what they are talking about and just bash Apple because it's the 'cool' thing to do.

Threads like this are hilarious.

The developers have been in talks with AMD and NVIDIA regarding optimisation. DayZ, compared to Arma II and Arma III is focused around a specific area so it will be much easier to optimise compared to Arma which is a very open-ended game allowing a lot of different modifications meaning that it's difficult to specifically enhance features without potentially losing others.

'Poor baby diddums' isn't annoyed, 'poor baby diddums' is a moderator on the bugtracker and is meant to sift through reports like this day after day after day and after reading the millionth report on the same issue because OP is incapable of going through the correct channels and USING THE SEARCH FUNCTION gets VERY annoying. They don't help whatsoever and just make it harder to keep track of everything.
