Agreed..... ambient night is better than Arma 2 and Dayz Mod, but the light beam is quite a headache.

I tried a pipe wrench and baseball bat.... inside no hits at all. Outside with the bat I got like 4 hits before the zed knocked me out...then he and his buddies feasted on me...lol I feel like Im hitting the zeds with wads of paper.....

For now that is a good thing!!! I tried clubbing a zed with a pipe wrench.... zed to like 7 hits to go down, and just as he died...I went unconcious....joining the zed ranks after the other two in the area ate me :)

I personally like the lack of a UI... if the messages were so "spammy". Seeing "you need a drink" "you feel thirsty" "you mouth feels dry" every 10 seconds gets old and takes away from the great idea of conveying feelings. I think a message with every stage (white being just starting, yellow for caution, red of oh shit) with a alert tone (so you dont miss it) suffices.

Yep...ban worthy if you're on my server. But the farting/shitting rainbows thing is pretty funny.

I would be all for NOT using TS or Ventrillo if we had an option to Whisper (heard only in a 4m radius or less). Direct chat is like talking very loudly or yelling. If Im stratigizing with my teammate who is behind the tree next to me, the bandit 40meters away shouldnt be able to hear me. Other than that I like the OPs dedication to realisim and respect it. At the same time I dont know how you would regulate it...and I dont think banning 3rd party software like TS is the solution. Would be great to have a way to set up a Veteran server that could do things like that, while giving others the choice of others servers that dont ban 3rd party stuff.

Actually we just let you take the risk of other players, zombies, and gather the loot.... THEN we snipe you so its a quick in and out for the phat lootz ! Thanks for the :beans: and L85 :lol:

I say what the OP said within about 1 min of spawning in :) My respawn goes something like this *Spawn in *look at what Im near *Head North

Same here... my team has lost MANY good items (M249 SAW with ACOG, a bunch of car parts we were gathering to fix a car, Cyote backpack, L85....) due to tents not saving stuff. I have also got to the point where I have stopped playing due to the saving bugs.... just not worth it.

We have the same issue with the M48 (M249 with ACOG) and a few other items. Tents are duping stuff, others deleting stuff. We have lost Cyote backpacks, M24s, AK-74 Cobras, M4A1 CCO SDs, but keep gaining AS50s, M249s, L85s... not by our own doing. We take one out of a tent and a day later another is there. I guess we could just remove the duped items and dump them on the ground everyday... but considering the GOOD stuff we have lost...I consider it a payment for my aggrivation :)

I have the same issue. Put down two tents...didnt like the position, so I packed them up and moved them a little further back into cover so they werent so obvious. PERFECT!! hard to see unless you look for them. The other two stuck out like a turd in a punchbowl. Logged out..logged in the next day... now I have 4 tents, two of which spawned in right where I initally pitched the two tents.... great. sad thing is I died so now I cant pack ANY of them up. Great campsite ruined... To top that off...now I have some tents (and my mates do as well) that will save your stuff, others will randomly delete stuff on server reboot, and others dupe certain items. Tents are totally fooked right now...

Corking.... its a KNOWN BUG as the previous poster said. This last patch dorked up tents big time.

My team has 5 or more tents set up around Cheneraus. We have had some of these since 1.7.2.4 and they all worked. Now they sometimes Dupe items (not consistantly) or they just delete items after server restart. Using tents right now is a crap shoot at best. Sometimes items will be there, sometimes they wont, sometimes you put 1 in and get 2 on return. I have one tent we call the FOOD tent because I put like 14 steaks in there.... took them out to go on a long run... came back 3 days (real life) later and had maxed the tent out and steaks were all over the place :) Tent was spitting them out like a hillbilly redneck with a mouth full of bacca.....

Our teams camp is in Stary Sobor.... then the zombies took over!!!

Loaded patch (via torrent) and newest arma 2 beta Sunday. Before this patch I had only a few graphic glitches (around Starry and sometimes Bolata). But now I cant even go to the NW airfield. The whole places glitches out into three or four big polygons. There were 5 of us at the NWAF and 3 of us couldnt even go in due to the artifacts. Mixture of graphics cards as well so it wasnt one particular card or chip. Also...played a few hours Sunday... logged in my teams camp. Logged in yesterday and BAM... Im in debug grasslands. Reload and spawn in at beach with Ghillie suit and NOTHING else (lost my NVGs, M249, GPS...and other good gear). No big deal... but just wanted to bug report that.

ROFL...spastic as fuck...but I would be too... Nice job lol... love your screaming like a bitch when they started to return fire at you...LMFAO.

Jesus...some of you guys need to calm down. Not everyone is going to get the point of this mod right off the bat, especially if they have never played a sandbox game before. Help the guy out (as a lot of you did), and have a little patience.

I like the zeds the way they were in pre 1.7.1 ..... if you were stupid you paid a price, but if you were stealthy you were somewhat safe. This new Zed Bionic vision is for the birds. Especially when a zed aggros thru a building that I have been laying down in for 5 min and not moving.... but it is alpha as they say.

YES...like my original DOOM/HALF LIFE game name.... MrWinkie! Back then I thought it was funny when the game would say "1337 rAzOR was killed by MrWinkie". My clan mates (who I still "hang" with these days and play DAYZ) wont let me change my name :) And yes...I used MRWinkie and HANG in the same sentance on purpose. lol

Was supposed to be Monday... Wonder what's taking so long. Rocket is testing...he doesnt want a repeat of the 1.7.1 debacle (his words). Patience my young padawan...and if that fails go take your Ritalin.

True story from a mate of mine.... Was in a town Grocery Store. Down to 3K blood and carrying my hatchet. Saw two survivors approaching store front entrance. I announced over chat "Unarmed and severely injuried friendly in store", then stood out in the open of the store so they could see me. Both walked up and after a few seconds... BLAM BLAM... shot in the face. No more trusting or announcing Friendly. If I cant run, I shoot.... Shame it has come to this...

Taking away side chat hasnt helped the PvP, shoot first mentality. By the time Im in range for direct chat to work Im shooting. It used to be if I approached a town I would call out for any friendlys in the the town. At least that showed me SOME level of comfort. Now if you see a player in direct chat range, either you shoot him or he shoots you.

Be careful...I think the noise/aggro range is a bit wonky. Had a buddy shoot a Enfield (Zombie Trumpet) in Soli and zeds one street over never reacted. On about 10 or so aggro'ed to our location. Shot the same rifle in Gorka...and we literally drew the WHOLE town into the barn we were in (100 or so).
