blitz

And we thank you for it. I mean most of the questions and answers were good. I understand why they can't deliever too much info, as some people see it as a promise then sulk and moan when the certain thing they talked about can't be added. I like day z the way it is now, yes I would like to see a buddy/squad system added to the game anything else is just a bonus.

I don't think they would, I mean current clothing doesn't unless you are holding them rather than wearing them. And all of mine, but am getting better :P

Ok you start, what exciting news do you know and we don't :P

So with your 6000+ posts, how many do you think were you repeating yourself?

I don't understand what you are trying to say!

If you ain't in now, you ain't in ever. CB people have been picked already and are waiting for the Beta to start. Even if a few drop out I would not imagain any other CB slots being offered. So relax and watch twitch and youtube for streaming and be jealous like the rest that never got in :/

It was the roosterteeth podcast that alreted me to Day z, if you have not checked them out, I recommend it. So would anyone like to see in the SA, an option to consolidate all your ammo into your half full clips. I am sick of running around with 4 half full mags :(

Did someone Photoshop that hair cut. What is up with that center parting?!?

It would be funny to see Frankie and Jfrags do an ep in the CB. Ok I mentioned Frankie can we please not have anyone bring up the does he hack or not drama. Jesus you would think they were dating frankie and he cheated on them the way they cling to that story! Oh and hatcheting a sniper is the quickest way to gear up, IMO.

Very true, I think I have subed the top 5 Day z youtubers, one of them is bound to be in it and someone from Machinima is almost certainly to be in it.

You obviously have never seen my new spawn ninja tactics. Spawn, find hatchet, run to Electro sniper hill. Bury hatchet in sniper, grab gear and run.

Fair enough, 1 other question are you aloud to say who is in the CB, any well known youtubers or twitchers, so I can watch their channel for streaming?

Just watched the new video interview Fraggle posted the link to. So did Matt mean the release of the SA was imminent, when asked about the release or was he talking about the CB. I would imagine CB will last around 2-3 weeks and then 2 weeks of bug fixing and polishing. So is it likely we will see the SA in the next month or sooner. Fraggle have you been told how long you guys will be testing for and if so, are you aloud to say or is that covered in the NDA?

You mean that's not started yet, the memes and asking for a free copy?!?

I would be happier if you had to eat less food than you do in the current Dayz. I personally don't eat as much in real life as my character does in Day z, If did I would be a bit of a blimp :) . On what Whatsmyname said about ovens or cookers. I think it's a good idea to make safer/cleaner food or to purify water. However instead of cookers/ovens, they could add the option to campfires. They could add gathering snow or ice to melt and purify into water. A few long term ideas It would also be good to see a gardening system, where you could farm simple vegetables or the ability to heard animal for breeding and slaughter for meat or skining and tanning for clothing. This would be more useful for groups of people who have set up large bases. It would also add an extra element for raiding peoples bases. Rocket has stated a few times he would like to see base building. So it would also be nice to see a building system, where you could gather wood to produce timber, rocks and earth to produce bricks and mortar. With these you could produce simple buildings, barricades and walls for fortifcation. Now to balance this and to stop building flooding servers. A time scale could be added on how long it takes to produce timber, and how long it would take to construct walls, building etc etc, plus a player would need a certain type of tool to make certain objects. This time scale is an example To chop a tree down, 1-3 min Turn wood into timber 2-5 mins Use timber to make a wall 4-8 mins So everything would scale depending on what material is being used, brick and stone would be more durible, but would take a greater amount of time to produce. A certain amount of gameplay time needs to be used, but for pacing it can't be to realistic, but it also can't be done to quickly. Zombie/infected gatherings To go along with bases, it would be nice to see the zombies being attracted to player bases. So the longer a group of players fortified an area or buildings the more zombies would start to gather, destroy fortifications and infect food sources or damage items stored in the base. Obvious we don't want players running back every 5 mins to check if a group of zombies have turned up and are destroying their base. So it would be a gradual build up and when the number reached a certain amount they would start to attack the base. So players belonging to that base would have to go back atleast once every 2 days to kill them or to thin the numbers out.

As Fraggle has said, there're many threads dicussing the subject of cost of the stand alone and as I said my piece. I think it is time to move on. I would be interested in seeing how the new inventory works. Like in most FPS strategy/simulated games, reloading your weapons mid clip pushes that clip into the inventory half filled. I was wondering if the new inventory will allow you to consolidate your half empty mags into full clips. It could do it automatically or as I think. It would be an option in the inventory. So you would right click on the mags and it brings up the option. >Drop mag>reload empty mag. Also when we place a mng into a weapon, shouldn't that mag disappear from the inventory. I mean it can't be both in the weapon and in the inventory. You know laws of physic's and all.

I would imagin the development team, will be asking the forum mods to highlight people from the forums that would deserve an invite. So if you have been an annoying A**hole to the mods or other users, contributed nothing but negative views about Day z, are new to these forums/Day z and cannot spell or have general poor grammar I.E your posts look like this "Ye wos wunderin, wen da gam wod b out" then you will probably not be invited, but that only matters to the forum users. I would imagin quite a few youtubers will be invited Jackfrags, NormalDifficulty, Frankieonpcin1080p(Hacker or not he knows the inside and outs of Dayz) TotalBiscuit and a host of others. They won't all be invited for their technical know how, but as they stream a lot of content and people are allowed to stream in the closed beta. It will be great free advertisment for the game developers, to show people not in CB. My question is with an NDA in place what content will they be allowed and what they won't be allowed to stream? Oh and one other thing let me have a beta key please please please. Well it was worth a try :)

Thanks for that information, saves me going looking for it. As for those moaning about the cost of the SA. Really! What is wrong with you people, the MOD was free. Ok you had to buy Arma 2 and DLC to play it, but Day Z was free. It was never ment to be released for the general public, yet they allowed people to play it, they didn't shut down the server telling you to F'off and they freely gave people the modded code so people could host servers. They put up a website at cost, they make regular posts on the site to keep you guys well informed and to interact with you guys. They are offering 1000 people from the community beta keys, instead of keeping it in-house(do I really need to add any more points) and despite all the cost they have put into the Mod, the site, the stand alone and the upcomming advertisment. Some of you guyts expect the stand alone game to be free. What world do you guys live in? Now they want to put a price on a game and you guys are outraged. Some of your arguements is that it won't be a complete game. Was Minecraft a complete game, before they stuck a price on it? How about we do it your way. Rocket if you are listening, to make these A**hole happy. Deley releasing the game until it is the perfection that you want it to be, that way, you are justified in putting a price on it and when you do release it. Sell it for the price of a triple A title $60 that should keep the idiots happy.

Have you tried running it in administrator mode. It could also be a program running in the background that could be causing the crash, try running a game booster. To eliminate unessery back ground program's. I use the razer game booster and it has elimInated a lot of problems I was having. I am sure you have updated your drivers, but thought I would point it out just in case. Also check your bios is upto date. Last check that you firewall is not interfering Anyway hope you get it sorted.

I first played on this server when I began playing on Day z. It is a good server to learn basic skills, map orienteering and how to use equipment. I would not recommend it if you are looking to learn how to scavenge or survive, unless you dump all the gear you are given when you create a new character. Also most players are friendly so you will never learn the danger of looting in cities or towns wondering if a player will run around a corner and plant an axe in your face. So your survival instincts will not be as sharp as it could be learning on a PvP server. I do recommend it for role play and PvE, I found the admins and most of the players are friendly, you will find the odd asshole who will snipe players in Electra. This is normally seen as a douchebag thing to do in a PvP server, but doing it on a PvE server really is the lowest form of skills and morals. Anyway if you want to ease your way into day z use this server map orienteering, including GPS navigation and trails to the north, hunting and cooking, basic combat ie shooting and how to avoid attracting zombies.

I never really have problems finding ghillie suits, i seem to trip over them. NVG are my bane, I swear people are hiding them on me. Yes I know what location they drop at.

35 Yes Uk Blitz I have been playing FPS for about 10 years, I work well in group games relaying and sharing information on group tactics and enemy positions. I am a relaxed guy that just likes to play games. I have been in the console scene for the last 2 years and have been getting back into PC gaming and Day z was a big part of that. I hope so! I have been playing for about a month. I hold my own with most weapons, but just don't ask me to fly a heli, as we won't go far in it.
