I know that most of you guys just bought Arma 2 CO only for this mod...this could be good for the comminity and what not. But for sure most of you don't know very well how Arma works. I noticed that most of the server have "Regular" difficutly instead of "Veteran". They don't even know the difference between the two.. Do you know that if you put Regular as difficulty setting in the server, you can spot enemies far far away without even seeing them? This is lame and is a break from the immersion and simulation. Veteran instead don't use the lame spot thing, and disable the crosshair. I strongly suggest that servers choose veteran as difficulty ...is not a hardcore thing...just this isn't your Battlefield or COD where you can spot enemies pressin Q, and i know that most people would even disable the spot option. Is not etilism, only i notice that most if the Dayz players are completely new to ARMA. Don't ruin it. Disable the spotting thing, it's just lame. This is a different thing. This is more similar to reality than anything. this is ARMA!

TL;DR. Insert a new fatigue bar that is both affected by blood levels, food and water levels, and can be generated both with rest both with energy bars. So basically my idea is this: often i find myself running from berezino to Electrovasdosk, and given that i had food and water...is pretty boring just to run from side to side...I have no necessity to stop in city and find loot, since i have bootle of water which can replenish at the sea, both i have food and food is never a problem. What if instead we put a fatigue bar that works exactly as food and water. I mean if the fatigue bar goes to 0 you can't run nomore or maybe your aim gets more tricky. Basicallly the fatigue could go to zero the more we run, the more we do activities like hunting, running going prone , and for example let'sa say it lasts for 10 minutes. To replenish the fatigue bar/icon, you or get rest for like two minutes, but it must be something that make you go search for a new element:energy bars/energy drinks, or Anfetamine, or some sort of Drug, or maybe some sort of coffè, but ithink the concept is clear here. So basically you are very fatigues, your aim gets tricky you can't run no more...we could arrive to the point you could not move, but just the fact you can't run should be enough for the Survivors to find said energy bars. Also food replenish the energy bar but not so much. I think this is a very good idea, and i hope Devs and Community like it. The most important idea is this there is no need to go in city once you find knife and matches...given said bottle of water, and knife and matches, i can stay hide in the wood killing survivors without any real need to go in the cities to find loot..i really don't find reasons to go in woods! This is by a large margin a very good idea, not like some sort of super hardcore mode but more like something to make the game more interesting.

i agree..but first the devs must disable the 3rd person view and disable the spotting crosshair...or all of theyr work is just useless. right now you can spot a enemy behind a hill, seeing the distance he actually is.

so much casual players....WTF they speak like they don't even know arma... engi pack....THIS IS NOT BATTLEFIELD... i hope arma 3 gets s HARD to to play and boring you casuals will go back to the witcher bitchjer or your gay Skyrim

QUOTE " I heard counting, or like.. not really counting, but kinda like what the default soldiers do in Arma when they die? " THIS is bullshit...you don't even know the communication of ARMA...fuck this casual. DAYZ DEVS, all the veteran of ARMA are quitting your mod for the regular setting in server...this is a really major problem. Well DEVS you know what? Enjoy your success butit it will just be a meteor, cause the casual players will trash Arma when the new cool game comes out. So listen to the veterans and not to the casual bastards.

the problem is that people earn their reputation...and Arma has low popularity because is even less immediate than Red Orchestra 2. Then come the causal player...the same player that buys more than 2 or 3 games a months...this kind of player buy all the POPular and trendy videogames...actually playing ARMA in 3rd person adn with crosshair on equals to listening to Justin Bieber and Britney Spears instead of some good ACDC. They play the way they could get the most advantage...is like driving into a wall with a flight simulator just for the same of glitching. Beware..this is the people that ruin our economy, a PLAGUE for the humanity. The same people that want EASY AND FAST solution to hard problem that require mind power. I really hope arma 3 is so hard and bugged that all this casual babbyes go back to shitty battlefield 3 or theyr mass gay effect for what i care. DEVS: your mod maybe fun, but you are attracting the casuals...please put as obligatory VETERAN INSTEAD OF REGULAR.

I think that one of the major problem is the lack of light in the night. I mean at least some sort of moon. In understand the flare thing...but it's annoing. Night with the moon will be equally scary and atmospheric...but to me, night is not fun. Is it only me?

Bumping

lloll

if i hate the 15 years old that just bought arma only for this mod....if i hate them... they are the tipical people that will buy call of dute moderna warfare 3, black ops 2, and the new battlefield 3 dlcs...they have no respect...so if they are told that have to be really careful and LEARN A NEW WAY TO PLAY DIFFERENT FROM QUICKSHOT ETC ETC...THEY RAGE... if i hate them. If you see the server...it's such a shame to see 23outof25 server set on regular....i can't stand them.

YES, remove them bandits skins.

mountain bike exist in arma...they're good and fastere then going by foot. It could be a good idea..time to switch from slug to pellets on go bike hunting.

I think that exporting dayz is wrong...expanding it is good.. Actually i hope dayz get exported to ARMA 3.

all server should be set as Veteran...because is a game of survival, survivaling make use of every situation in advantage of self. So if surviving means stay 2 hours in the woods...i want to hide well. It's not right that someone point at me with theyr noob crooshair and see not only the approximate area in highlights but also my status and the distance!!! so ridicoulous, DEVS this is a call from veteran, please stop this bullshit!

Tiri, that's what direct communication and teamspeak use. Such ingenuos players like you that communicate on the public chat ( the blue one) are my favorite prey, cause they give in public hint on theyr location. HOW PATHETIC AHAHAHHA (evil laugh).

so yes 3rd person, no regular server, only veteran. Seems good.

then either try not to switch. If you're a bandit kill people not to turn into a survivor, and viceversa.

Hi, great work, i'd open a server too if i had the money.. It's a great thing that you disabled the crosshair...but i suggest you put Veteran as difficulty settings and not regular, since in regular you can post enemies hiding just by pointing at them and this ruin the immersion. Also did you know that in third person you can see enemies behind a corner without them seeing you? Regards.

Anyone who thinks that we play Dayz Mod for this kind of night it's completely wrong. Sure, having day/night cycle is a thing but in this way it's no fun. A normal night would be completely hardcore. This actual kind of night is just annoying.

yeah we need more enviromental light, the night is so dark make me not wanna play. This mod maybe popular, but i assure you the night is not good.

there is the moon in arma 2, of course there is. i'm not new i play since the game comed out.
