Is the server down for the modifications to be made currently?

L85 ACOG despawned from inventory after restart, however L85 Holo stayed in

Yeah its probably because I'm at work. It still going to be open like that this evening? Probably need to connect from home to get in and grab our gear if thats alright

It now got a 10 player limit? If so, once you join it goes through loads of timeouts for some reason, but now lets me play!

Can you give us a warning of when you are switching server 2 off? Need to transfer all our camp's gear across to server 1 Edit: Just went to login to move our camp and you've already turned off the server, not that happy to be honest, moved it all over as you guys said you wanted server 2 more active. Would appreciate you giving us 24 hours to have at least sorted out where we wanted our stuff before just going "bip" on it. Any chance of you reopening it until say midday tomorrow so that we can actually get our stuff back or is that that?

Are both servers down? Can't seem to login to either of them currently!

*Sigh* some of the people on this game astound me, was at the NWAF on UK10 mark 2 just after its restart today, guy shot at me and missed me, saw where he was so ran up to get him, he'd already logged out. If you are willing to do the crime people, you should be willing to do the time!

1) You chose to purchase Arma 2 and OA, which are themselves cracking games in their own right in order to play this mod. You gain no entitlement from doing so. This was entirely optional on your part, it was a free choice you made to purchase another game in order to play the mod, you could have said "nope, going to wait for a standalone version". 2) No, it is not an alpha for the standalone, the standalone is being developed on new code and in a new engine on a basic premise that is Dean's "DayZ". This now community led mod is in "alpha" stage itself. This isn't the alpha for the standalone, the alpha for the standalone is in fact, the standalone alpha. 3) Its being developed by Rocket with the backing of Bohemia, yes. 4) Yes it probably will...your point is? They are a company who will make money from the sale of the game, much like every other games company attempts to do. And finally, your last paragraph is so fatally wrong that its almost funny. Bohemia have nothing to do with this mod, Bohemia dont have to pay them anything, dont blame them for anything. The Mod Devs are doing this because they enjoy the mod, and like with every other mod in the history of modding except maybe DOTA, they are doing this because they love it and take pleasure from it. We aren't testing anything for Bohemia, we are playing a community developed mod that is in its alpha stages, much like Project Reality was for Battlefield 2 for years. Bohemia and the standalone have nothing to do with these forums, this version of the mod, anything you've put in your post. Please read, digest and learn. The major problem with the criticisms of this update have come from wild misinformation, please refrain from spreading any further nonsense. BACK to my original post which was going to be my views on the cans: Yes the names are a little silly, and yes they are a tip of the cap to the moderators, but the whole issue has been blown out of proportion by both sides to some extent. I wasn't even aware of the cans until I picked one up, went to drink, saw the name next to "Can (XYZ)", momentarily went "huh?" and didn't care as my drinks bar refilled. If that instance of the name makes enough of the community unhappy, a simpler compromise might be to leave the textures as they are and just change the UI name to something like "Can (Community)". This way there is still a new food and drink types other than beans, pasta, sardines and coke (which by the way when it finally left your system would definitely require at least 5 of the toilet rolls I've found so far!) which actually increases my "immersion" whilst retaining the acknowledgement to those who put their free time and effort in, balancing it out for those who find the names excessive.

Edit: Nevermind, just my arma having a derp.

When will the server be updating to 1.7.6?

I love the sound of the shared hive concept, I think this would really lend itself to having the community that this server has formed retaining its current rivalries etc!

Found soldier clothing and put it on today, I look snazzy! Also found one of the Mk12 SPRs, but a note to all players, chopper crashes are NOT smoking when they spawn in, so you just have to have your eyes really looking to make sure you spot them!

Will our current character data be shifting across or will we be starting as fresh spawns?

Guys after the 9pm restart on the server tonight all the gear in our tents and backpacks was wiped, so that when we logged in after the 9 o clock one everything we had saved in them was gone!

Just for reference re: the DMR stuff above, last night we were getting significant lag when we were playing, to the extent that a large proportion of the server that were on were complaining of hitting players multiple times to no immediate effect, only to have the person they had shot turn around/return fire before dying some 30-40 seconds after what would have been the original kill shots.

If you have DayZ commander, under the install tab select the version you want from the dropdown list and press "reinstall" or "install"

Lack of side chat really kills the great community spirit that was going on the server in my opinion

Server now limited to 64 slots it says in Dayz Commander? EDIT: Back up to 80 and then back down to 64, Dayz commander wrong here?

I would offer bamboo in thanks...but you'll have to make do with beans instead! Cheers Panda

Any indication as to how long it will take to install? Also will we still have our gear etc?

Panda or whoever is admining right now, I just killed Deke and Wickedsomebody above Cherno, no more than about 10:45-11:00 as a timeframe. Whilst killing Deke, I got the death message but then he aborted so his body disappeared through the floor! Are we deeming this combatlogging or are we letting this one go?

Is the server any better yet or should we stilll hold off joining?

Panda, server's having a fit after the 9pm restart. Was fine before it but after restart is kicking everyone every 3-4 minutes.

Panda, Did tell Barrington but in case it gets missed, at some point between the 3pm and 9pm restarts there is the loot pile bug happening in Zele. By this I mean the one where it places 3-4 loot piles on top of one another. Seems to be repeated for all loot in zele, 2 days running. Ta my lover.
