Hey all! Not so new, but a question a bambi would ask. What happens to vehicles, exactly? I mean, one minute I am driving down the road, and then a wild restart comes, and my vehicle is gone. How does the vehicle mechanics work in this game, exactly? If I left my car at a place that no one would ever find it, and let's say no one did, and it had some gear in it.. What exactly happens? On restarts, does the vehicle restart its gear, and location? Thanks alot in advance!

So I have found sooo many discussions about the mil dots. What do they mark exactly? I've heart each one marks 100 meters, and heard that each one varies, like 300 is the first, 425, 675, etc. I am just really confused... Thank you! (Please note, I am referring to both zooms, 1 is the little zoom and 2 is the big zoom. Up there I am referring to the 2nd zoom)

Is that the most reliable source? And thank you! :)

Alright. Thank you very very much! <3

Alright. That's what I thought. Are you sure that after X number of restarts, vehicle don't spawn back at theyr original spawn? And loot doesnt disappear? THANKS!

Wait, so if I dropped a DMR on the floor just before a restart, it should remain on the floor after the restart? What about when I log off? If I log off, will gear on the floor disappear? And vehicles?

Nope! Also went back in my tracks, maybe it was just lag, and I didnt find it after a kilometer of running back the way I came.

I even park the car when the 1 min notification comes up, and leave it so I wont die or break my leg, since it happened to me.

What about server restarts?

Who do I talk to to resolve this?

Ok. Thank you.

Would love to get whitelisted - Tal

Hey! I was just watching Lord of the Rings, and was wondering how they get from one place to another so fast. Then I remembered the horses, and I said to myself "Damn it! Walking is soooooo slow. Why don't DayZ have horses?!" So here is my suggestion (couple of stuff, will put them by numbers): 1) Horses should be spawned in areas of barns, farms; 2) The horses would spawn inside stables; 3) Stables should spawn atleast one horse, up to 4 depends on how many you want. 4) A horse can carry two people, 2 weapons, and 20 slots (Each side would have a place for a weapon, and 10 slots. Seems reasonable, right?); 5) To access the gear, you need to be on the side. 6) The horse moves at the same speed on and off road; 7) The horses will either be 6, or will move at slightly higher speed off road (Yep, OFF road. Horses don't like walking on tarmac, the hoofs slide. [i'm a little expert in horses :D ]) 8) [Reference to 6] The horse will be moving at roughly 45 KPH across all terrain, inc. woods, and up steep hills at roughly 20 KPH (Galop - boosting). Will move at 35 KPH, and 15 on hills (trot). 9) [" " 7] The horse will run at around 35KPH on road, and roughly 55 off road, 25 up hill (Galop). Will move at 28~ on road, 45 off road, and 20 up hills (trot). 10) Horse care: -Horses will need food. I don't know what kind of food will be in the SA, but if there are vegs, then that. If not, then normal food, aka beans. No meat tho. -Horses, if get shot, will bleed, which will make them slow down over time (they will have 25K blood). -If shot, they will lose the same amount of blood as us, but will bleed faster. -If the horse is bleeding, you will need TWO bandages to treat the bleeding. Horse chest is a rather large thing. -if shot in the legs, the leg will either; A) Instantly break, causing the horse to stop moving (and if possible, to lay on the ground) B) Make the horse slow down until stop, and after it stops, you couldn't get him moving untill treated. -If the horse's leg is broken, one morphine should do it. -Under 10K blood, the horse will start slowing down. At 2.5K blood the horse will stop untill is gives a blood trans. -Every canned food will give the horse 500 blood, every veg, if there is one, will give 1K. -You will need to visit a pond from time to time, in my opinion, every 20 minutes of gallop or 40 of trot. If not, you can give it a water bottle. -Blood trans will give the horse 12.5K blood. 11) Horse "parts": -Pain -Blood -Thirst -Hunger -Legs Now, the "fuel" monitor should be either the blood or thirst. 12) While running on a horse, you will LOSE temp, caused by the wind. 13) You can access the gear while standing still. 14) You can bandage (etc.) on the horse while standing still. 15) If you run into trees, the horse will not take damage ;) 16) If you run into any stable, your horse will regen health, hunger and thirst, over a course of 15 minutes. 17) [POSSIBLE] A horse will wander off if you get too far off of it, to the closest stable. People said: whiteboy greg - Kill the horse, get the meat! That's it, for now. I can't think of anything else. If you can think of anything, please tell me and I will add it under your name :) THANKS! TL;DR Your problem, stop being lazy and read it!

EPIC

My ideas, exactly! Hehe

By that I mean, as a reply to the post above me, is that there IS a game with solid horse GP. It's Red Dead Redemption :)

Read dead redemption ;)

This is. The best Thing I have EVER Saw!!!

Hey there. Last night, I got into a fight with a hacker. He was using an AS50AWS. After I killed him, and looted his gear, I took his helli, and went to NWAF. A couple of mins after, I got kicked off the server. Big deal, right? Then when I try to join back, I got a message telling me I got globally banned. What do I do now?

Do I now need to re buy Arma 2 CO for my steam? Or do I need to open a brand new steam...?

Yes I tried several servers. I might have downloaded some stuff related to Arma 2 but nothing related to hacks..

Yeah, I guess. Maybe if they make it so horses take less damage, or stuff. Maybe when he takes damage, he gets a boost in speed, because he's scared? The huge advantage of horses are, they are plenty, and they're easy to take care of. You don't need to carry around 12 slots of car wheels just in case you bump into a tiny pine tree. Imo, the HUGE advantage of horses is that basically EVERY character can take care of it. Basically all of us have water bottles, can get to a pond, have food and basic medical stuff. So when you find a horse, you can just ride it! When you are sick of it, either kill it or let him go so another player can use it from the nearest stable.

True. Maybe if the horse had some kind of REAL advantage, such as maybe going 75 offroad? Even where trucks go 30, like woods?

Lol
