Hi everyone, So, a bit about me: I own all the Arma's and just got the Arma Apex expansion now as well. I really liked "The Walking Dead" and I am considering buying Day Z (full paid version) however.......I have seen a LOT of negativity around it. For example: People complain about missing things like vehicles & being able to build structures. Can someone please bring clarification about these things? Are the developers going to put in the vehicles & ability to build structures? Thank you, Stefos

Hi everyone, So I just picked up Day Z and finally "fired it up" and I noticed that not many people were there! Can someone please direct me insofar as servers are concerned & playing is concerned? One big problem is how to "Take" things.......Do I use the middle mouse button on my mouse? Thanks, STefos

Hi everyone, I'm a bit confused about Day Z and clones of it, per se, like Miscreated and H1N, whatever it' s called. How is it that they can take conceptual ideas and not get sued by B.I.? Thanks Stefos

Understood, however the level of "creative expression" in these Day Z clones is now called "Stealing a concept," as Miscreated has in their interface. Besides, If you wanted Day Z to be the best Post Apocalyptic game on the market, would you allow for this new level of "artistic expression?" I don't think so.

No, it isnt' however........When you look at Miscreated and see the interface, they ripped of B.I. Make sense?

Well, The devs DID say they have to overhaul massive parts of this game......ie Coding. Making trees, textures, vehicles is easy.............Programming them is not. Rust, Miscreated, etc. are not coding overhauls...They are coding legos, per se. Try overhauling this game's code.........Try coding period and see where you end up....It's not easy everyone. I want Day Z to continue and Blow up big. Stefos P.S. I'm surprised that Day Z hasn't sued Miscreated for copyright infringements.

Hi Hellfire, I'm in the Eastern Time zone. Thanks man, Stefos P.S. Yeah...I was like......where are the people? lol

Hi Everyone, I just bought Day Z standalone...........Let look towards a great future in this game! Thanks for all your input, Stefos

Not a problem...............Thanks for expressing where you were coming from. Things can get "off" when someone posts like this here. I'm not sure I'm going to move to where I wanted to.....Tuscon, Arizona. The pay there is considerably less than here and it's very hot. I'm having serious doubts at this point. Thanks my man, Stefos

Hi IMT, Thank you again sir for being straight up and honest. I saw a Miscreated video and liked some things about it...i.e. flashlight at night looked really nice. I also saw ridiculous things like Tae Kwon Do high spin kicking and I laughed a bit. DayZ seems to be the boilerplate game for all other DayZ rip offs actually. I'm surprised BI hasn't sued these companies for ripping off their (now) product. Stefos

Hi Espa, I saw a Miscreated video on YouTube and I didn't like the more arcadey feel to it really. I enjoy "The Walking Dead" and I like realism actually. I might be moving to a different part of the U.S. so I need to save more money. Thank you sir for being honest. Stefos

Hi BC....... Thanks but I've only seen old videos on YouTube from 3 years ago and what's up now. I'm not crying poor.......Just don't want to waste my money if the Dev team was not actively concerned about this game. You've really given me nothing to chew on. Thanks anyway, Stefos

Hi IMT, What about monitoring Hackers, Cheaters and other gaming "undesireables?" Can you speak to that? Thank you sir! :) Stefos

Ok......thanks but when is the mid year sale? June or July right? Thanks, Stefos

Hi, Thanks for being honest. It's still selling for $30...........When it be reduced in price? Thanks, Stefos

Hi everyone, Where this converstation is going is here: The DayZ mod operates very much like an MMO in regards to monster/loot spawning, 2 factions: Friend/Foe, etc. The original Everquest MMO, not Everquest 2, was a first person only experience from what I hear. I've only heard of people playing it and it had a "permadeath" mode/server which added the realism, obviously, with certain drawbacks for an MMO. Now what do I suggest? This IF possible: Have the creators of DayZ change the pine tree models, if possible to make them branch-free at their bases. Real pine trees have no branches at the base or extending down to the ground as typically portrayed in Arma 2 and the current graphics models of the pine trees makes cover OVERTLY easy. Being exposed should cost a player something...Ex. Exploiting 3rd person to "see over a wall"....C'mon.. Incorporate the 3rd person model but place limitations: 1. Gillie suites should provide cover when low to the ground, obviously, and when in dense forest or high grass, NOT when hiding at the base of pine trees which I see over & over again being exploited (see above) 2. Make infra-red & scoped rifles VERY rare. 3. IF possible, block "over the wall" looking via implementing a forward facing graphics model Ex. When running near a wall, the graphics should block the "behind the wall" view somehow if possible (I'm not a game designer sorry for the lack of technical jargon!) I think this is a very do-able thing to implement as 1st person is not real and 3rd person view is being exploited. stefos stefos

Hello everyone, Thank you creators of DayZ mod! A very cool mod for the Arma series. I've been watching youtube footage of this mod and I suggest you do the following: Resetting all servers post alpha build.. Why? Well, a number of great reasons (gleaned from youtube): 1. To fully implement post alpha changes to this mod 2. To address hacking via using encryption (I'm not a network manager so forgive my ignorance) 3. To do away with people camping and killing or sniping new players with or without an infra-red or with a regular scope I've seen this done too many times on youtube 4. To do away with a group of people camping & then "triangulating" new players and killing them I've seen this done too many times on youtube also 5. To implement a spawn system in which scoped weapons and night vision/infra-red weapons are limited except at military bases and in general overall...... 6. To implement a communication system whereby friends/foes can communicate to get to & centralize safely in I'm willing to give financial support to see this mod become a game! I'm that serious. PM me if you want, we'll discuss the details... Thanks again! stefos
