The standalone will come out early 2013, I'd say mid January. The 2012 target set by Rocket was never a definite release date but it's a bit late through December for them to release without going through the proper testing schedule before release. Arma II is a good game, you can check out 'Arma II Wasteland' too, think DayZ without the zombies and more player oriented.

[DELETED] I may have rushed the post a little too much without thinking, PMd ;D EDIT: We got it working :)

The animation is only bad because the game is a mod and has to use existing animations - the animation used in DayZ for zombies are soldier animations ( So obviously soldiers won't be acting like zombies). There is also a 'zombie life cycle' being discussed by developers where there will be older and younger zombies, the younger zombies will be a lot faster than the older zombies. If you find a map in game, you can get a map - the game is NOT about meeting all your friends and playing together, it's a survival game, if you meet up with them you can play but the game should facilitate it any further than an in-game map and in-game communication using walkie-talkies or the like. EDIT: Here is a quote for you from Rocket, the lead developer and creator of DayZ:

Massive necro. Underground bases are already being discussed for implementation in the standalone by the developers.

The thing is, you don't just get 'banned for nothing'. There are 2 ways you get banned. 1) You are banned by BattlEye for hacking. 2) Your key is stolen by downloading software and replaced with a banned key. There is no conspiracy where BattlEye is out to get you - there are over a million players and the majority that get banned and complain turn out to be hackers, pretty much every single one of them. Obviously there are a few misbans, if you email [email protected] and they check and you are not a hacker then you are unbanned - it happens very rarely though.

I love how defensive people get :D

Just checking your username on Google shows it's the same person that is registered to pretty much every website using that handle (Chris). The majority of pages are about Runescape Botting and Runescape Hacking. Every day there are loads of people complaining about being unfairly banned, I'd say 90% + of the time they are hackers with a crappy sob story or playing dumb - I'd say it's the same for you.

Purely from one I'm getting from Google I'm going to say you are a complete liar. You have a history of cheating in other games, what would make DayZ any different?

No, they won't 'bleed players at a massive rate' - it's an Alpha, problems like this have happened since the incarnation of DayZ and they will continue whilst DayZ is still a mod. DayZ is a mod, they have no control over the BattlEye anti-hack - it's the normal one used in Arma II. If you want a hack-free experience you should play on a whitelisted private hive server or wait for the DayZ Standalone. As for number 2, DayZ is a sanbdox - there shouldn't be any factions or penalties for killing anyone or any 'stats' that carry over - DayZ is about survival, giving penalties or allowing people to opt-out of PvP is just a ridiculous idea that will only cause imbalance.

One of the few videos that have been posted that I've enjoyed watching. Few pointers for you: 1. Try rendering it in a higher resolution, it will take longer and will be bigger but the quality will be much better. 2. When you are annotating the map try using a clearer font with a border to it - some of it was hard to read against the map background. (Plenty of free fonts to choose from here: http://www.dafont.com/ Other than that I really enjoyed it and you got yourself another subscriber :)

By joining this server you are actively promoting terrorism and the sale of drugs to children. I've seen it with my own eyes. I've seen some stuff, man.

Most of this is set to be implemented in the standalone. The combat system is going to be balanced around the zombies (Who are actually going to be a threat rather than an annoyance). There will be multiple 'types' of zombies brought on by a zombie life cycle, older ones will be slower, sluggish whereas the younger ones will be much faster. They are adding a full 'disease/infection' system which can be easily spread depending on the infection, there will be multiple types with multiple side affects, your player will need to remain well fed and hydrated to increase chances of survival and lessen the symptoms. They also want to add a system where certain limbs can be disabled making it impossible to walk at full speed or without a limp, also to make it hard to fire guns with a single arm, etc. This will add various medical items like splints (This was the only one discussed by Rocket) which will allow you to temporarily walk a little faster but you must get proper medical care soon or risk bad infection/death/loss of limbs.

They are completely redesigning the inventory system for standalone, for obvious reasons though nothing specific has been announced.

Yeah... no. You're going to have to talk to BattlEye, it's them that have banned you - nothing to do with the DayZ team. http://www.battleye.com/support.html

For a Dr. you should know that hypothermia is very prevalent, even in developed countries.

The best part is that all the hideouts will be part of the game world, anybody that finds it can loot it, hide in it, fight over it, stash gear - could be fun finding a little dugout hole which is filled with weapons :)

They are planning to put bases in the standalone at some point. They want to add player-made underground bases that you need to dig out as well as bases on the surface. They (at this point) give you no boosts but you are able to craft items to put in them, Rocket discussed a lab where you could work on vaccines for diseases and learn more about the origin of the zombie outbreak.

Best way to install Namalk is using DayZ Commander. Installs it for you with a single click; it's easy to work. http://www.dayzcommander.com/

Okay. So all that happened is you played with hackers - woop tee do. Also, your grammar is atrocious, fix that at least before you release your hackerfest video.

One of the specific things that was said about having a 'base' is that it would NOT be a safezone. They were planning on having undergrounds bunker type bases that you had to dig out and hide, these would all be fully enterable by any other people that were to find it and would mean there would be fights to control the bases.

Not bad at all, just watch your spelling and grammar while you are displaying text.

There isn't meant to be any real 'progression' it's not an RPG like WoW where there is a set order, it's a sandbox. Base building is being discussed by the developers to be implemented into the standalone release of DayZ.

Are you stupid or were you dropped on your head at a young age? You were directed to the Stickies which, wow, contain everything you need! If you actually follow the instructions you were given it makes life so much easier. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/10011-do-not-post-your-global-ban-appeals/ and http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?106913-How-to-find-my-guid Now shoo.

Use DayZ Commander and make sure you have the paths to the Arma II executables set correctly, it's much better than the crappy Six Launcher. Here's a video I found on YouTube, it's a bit outdated but it's only cosmetically different:

I don't think that missing the holiday rush will hurt BIS and the DayZ team at all. DayZ has a lot of steam behind it (unintended pun) and the press on release will make a big difference, especially with the massive clusterfuck that was The War Z. The War Z was relatively small and unknown compared to DayZ and it managed to pull in decent numbers, DayZ will destroy them easily enough since the developers aren't retarded. Nothing to worry about!
