This. This is one of the best compromises. I totally agree with this. My my. How come noone figured this out sooner. That'll make it perfect since noone has the time to make a fire during gunshots(It would be terrible if you were in a gunfight and someone shot you, you camp out till your blood regens..) +1 for this one above me!

For me the best part is when you go up a HUUUUUUUUUUGE hill and overview a town nearby, find a zombie and bang, headshot right onto the floor :)

Explain a bit more detailed. What does the pop up say? How often does it occur? Did you do anything particular before the pop up appears?

1. How many times did this occur? 2. Are you absolutely sure the servers lost connection? After you die double check, maybe its just for you. 3. Die on purpose on a random server, do the usual stuff you do, log out , restart DayZ command or whatever and check the playerbase. If it has changed alot, you are crashing it(Note: Before doing this check how much players are on currently) After you did this, report back. :)

Boy you showed him! :D OnTopic: I kinda like the freedom of the mod itself which allows us to choose between a 3rd person shoot and a FPS... People have different tastes, if you hate 3rd person so much, then just switch to FPS. If you're bothered by something, doesnt mean everyone else will be. :I

Oh no sorry, I misread, I thought your STEAM account was hacked not the game itself. I dont have alot of experience on the steam platform but I suggest you contact steam support and gather some evidence if you can. I wish the best of luck mate, honestly.

All we can do is pretty much sit ducks and play some DayZ mod untill the SA comes out. I dont see the point of argueing when you have the mod itself at the moment.

I'm more of a calm and paranoid person(The best mixture there is >-<') I would probably panic and do random stuff I would regret and in the end get shot. But I voted for: 1. Going to the player in hopes he'll let me join him. 2. Try to ask for bargain in voice chat. Or surrender :D 3. Let him ride with me.

Youtube has a special ability that the OP of the video can keep the comments he likes and erase the ones which he dosent. You can see if that's enabled by clicking on the comment square and it will say: "The OP of this video chose the ability to keep comments he likes" or something like that. If I'm not wrong you can just use your email to reset your password, but be carefull, the virus may contain keylogger which can get your email adress hacked aswell. So clean your computer with your anti-virus of choice and then be carefull what you do. And next time ask around before downloading random stuff from the internet. Also try avoiding obvious programms like Arma2FPSEnlarger.exe because that's the most obvious hack there is. And also try to avoid .rar files from youtube, most of them will contain viruses and to unlock some of the .rar files you'll have to fill out a survey. I hope this was helpfull :)

As the person above said, everything but the skill tree. Its good that way, sheep in a field with more sheep? Welcome to Earth. There are milions of people who are the same, that's why getting a job is probably hard these days. 90% Support

IMHO I think that will just make the game easier.. The game itself already has bandages, morphine and blood bags which make it so good(Since you cant give a blood transfusion to yourself). I am not a fan of the blood regen. system as SausageKingOfChicago said above. I feel like that will take out a large bit out of the survival concept. That's just my opinion :/

Considering that there are hackers on the loose still, and that they can spawn in any kind of object(As far as I've seen) it could result in every fifth person being a mechanic, military engineer and other... It would be nice but I doubt that you can just walk into an old military building and find a guide on how to make ammo -.-'

Depends, each person is different, I would like that... It would also protect the player himself mentally from going nuts if he didnt have any social interaction.(Only imaginative not like a real sickness just for the survivalish aspect) Support!

Some people have a high immunity system. (correct me if I'm wrong) But I like the idea, its so awesome. I mean if you just think about the atmosphere that creates. Imagine yourself in the forrest under some shelter in the woods, fire burning beside you, you're in your favourite coat and just feeling the warmth that surrounds you. Mmm..

Yes they should but if you think about it, this is an apocalypse, you know. People grabbing as much shit as they can carry and running for their lives from zombies... 250km2 and a high population which means they probably took their stuff and ran of into the woods. The looting quantities are fine as they are for now. Even too much if you ask me. Ive seen a couple of Let's Plays and when they came to a hospital there were 5-6 boxes filled with blood bags, morphine, bandages, heat packs and whatnot..

You obviously dont understand, the whole reason the survival is implented is because of zombies, if there werent zombies then sometime sooner or later they would all move back into towns and live their regular lives, but because there are zombies it gives you that extra feel that there is someone else out there other than some guy chasing newbies around spawn. So yeah, no zombies, people would just move back into towns sooner or later... There's no reason not to..

What the.. 88 Pounds? God damn.. Look at Mr.Rich over here... On Topic: I recommend you wait, seriously, if you want to play DayZ just wait untill the SA comes out, its better and its... a game itself and not a mod anymore, meaning it has better physcics engines and stuff.. But if you're so desperate to play then buy Arma 2 Comb. Operations , there's tons of mods to play on the game other than DayZ :D

The title matches, you obviously didnt look so far. Since the stand alone(That's right, the game itself) is soon comming out on steam itself, you probably wasted money, not to worry tho, others will still play on Arma 2 CO.. Probably untill they get money to buy the standalone.. So yeah, you should've waited but meh, my opinion. I suggest you try to find groups if not then just go to towns, loot, be on your guard, when you get enough loot(Bandages, blood bags, weapons, ammo, food, water) you go scavange some more around towns and woods to look for people and if you have a bandit style, go and kill them and pick up some more loot. If you're a survivor then save people, help people and continue the population of earth.. :D

I couldnt believe my eyes when I read the thread, no offence. But it seems like you just popped into the internet and think: Hey ! Let's change the whole concept of a game and why the people play it! *Facepalm I dont want to be mean, but just think about having vampires to run around and werewolves attacking random players. It doesnt fit.. DayTwillight :D

I dont get the meaning of your post, you didnt explain THAT much, or I'm just stupid. But you said you get infected, what then? You loose HP or something? Sorry I'm half asleep dont realy see. :P

You have an excellent point but I kinda like having the freedom of us having the abilities to choose between 1st person shoot and 3rd person shooter. Why? I dont realy know, it just.. fits? If you're so desperate to play in 1st person then just do. You cant controll others. I.E You cannot change other people, you can only change yourself :)

This is the problem in this post. Nobody knows how real zombies act, why? Stupid question, there are no real zombies.. Nobody knows will they be slow, fast, agile, able to interact in combat or any of that kind of stuff. We just dont know, no documentary has been posted on what zombies would be like in real life(Correct me if I'm wrong) but random assumptions of them being fast or slow wont work. Each zombie game chooses how they work, that's the concept, you can deal with it or leave, or post a nice poll to see how many people want to take the main concept out of the game which is "fear/horror".. And slow walking zombies, that's just not horrific at all, hell if I want that, I'd go to the center for old people -.-'

I had the same dilema lol, I have 2 and a half hours left to decide wether to buy it or not as its 50% off. And my final decision is NO. Not at all, think about it Didnt they say the SA will be released before 2013 mid January? And the game is 50% at the same month when they were supposed to release it. Maybe its a trick to fool into people taking Arma now when its cheap and play DayZ and the real SA will come out a few days later? Just my opinion, I didnt mean anything bad by fooling, more like joking around :D ... Just hold your horses untill the SA comes along, it may not be cheap but its worth it, trust me, if you've seen the screenshots, you want to wait :D

Well you can always go to program files and delete it from there, and that's that :P

By the picture, it seems that you are installing it not unistalling ? "Installshield wizard", "Setup" :/?
