I must admit it made me laugh out loud when some guy came at me on the beach. He started yelling 'don't move asshole!'. I had a flashlight and a battery so I laughed in direct chat. Since he was trying to shine his flashlight in my face I rushed him and my chickie beat his ass. Didn't plan on killing anyone but when you bring it you better be prepared to take it.

Betraying a person's trust is cowardice. Did you really just say that sucker punching someone isn't weak? I'm not against banditry because bandits help hero's do what they do best. What you did was the Dayz equivalent of the Knock Out Game.

Sweet. Nothing like finally getting to play a game you just bought! :)

Betrayal is always the easiest choice and a sign of weakness. A real homicidal bandit would have hunted them in the dark and smashed their heads in from behind. Instead of an adrenaline fueled story of epic murder in the night they will tell of yet another Dayz loser going for the easy kill. Instead of delicious panic you settled for baloney and cheese. Congratulations.

Sidu, you may not OC your card but pushing it past what it can handle can have the same effect. This can also happen if the card is old. Start by lowering every video option possible including the resolution. If it still happens check that your video driver is up to date. If all that is good and it runs fine on other games its either something that needs to be added to the tracker or your video card is trying to render something it cannot render. Sometimes installing your video drivers again as a clean install will help. Make sure you only install the main driver if its a package deal like what nvidia puts out.

I was having an issue where it took a minute or two for the servers to show up. If you only see full servers click on one of the headings like players or ping and try to re-sort them.

Instead of L I've been double tapping middle mouse button for flashlight so that may work for the headlamp. I had one but didn't care for the angle and direction it was shining so I never really played around with it.

The coolest thing I found in game so far was the blood test kit. Found out my blood type is the same as in real life. Anyone know if that changes on restart?

Started off thinking the masks were pretty lame. Then I found five of them in my first hour playing. Still lame when I can't find enough food to keep red fainting and dizzy warnings off my screen. Guess I have many choices to look 'cool' as I starve to death. Found so far: dallas mask, hoston mask maybe? didn't recognize the name, wolf mask, damaged dallas mask and damaged wolf mask cooking pots kitchen knife firewood matches baseball bat defibrilator two batteries three drinks two food items three warm hats four baseball hats three raincoats two winter hunter pants three shirts two regular pants two motorcycle helmets multiple duct tape hand cuffs set of handcuff keys pen couple books or notes, not sure 12 shotgun shells blood test kit(turns out my character has O+ blood just like I do in real life so that was cool) backpack(12 slots I think) other random things. Most of those items I didn't bother to loot. Found a couple food items, was starving and light headed so I ate one can of sardines, immediately said I was hungry again. Ate a Pristine Kiwi. Honestly not impressed at this point. Spawned and was thirsty 10 minutes in so I figured my character was stranded or lost and needed stuff quick. Logged off with red warnings about being dizzy, feeling faint and starving. Is there a certain amount of food and drink you need in your first two hours or do you just starve to death every couple hours?

Money is spent where you think it is worth it. There are no good or bad times for a release of something except in the context of how much money a company will make. Releasing now means more people that can't afford it might be able to get someone else to buy it for them for Christmas. Not sure of conversion rates but here its $30. For a game I expect to get 100's of hours of enjoyment out of I'm willing to sacrifice a dinner or two out this month to get it now. edited: I think the price is exactly where it should be. This will keep non-fans from 'wasting' their money on an unfinished product and will guarantee that only people interested in helping the devs make their bills will buy in at this early stage. A lot of fans would gladly buy it at fill retail price to get in months before the full release comes out.

That is awesome! Glad you had a great time. Just got off of work and am downloading the game. Can't wait to see the changes!

My cousin is in HS and they are teaching him java exactly for that reason. Its simple and easy to make fun mods to something already created. If you own an android phone you can use what you learn to create some custom apps.

Kind of an ambiguous question. Do you want an IDE to do simple programs in whatever language you have installed already? Try notepad++. Are you wanting to learn Visual Basic? Download from Microsoft http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads Express is free. And VB is very basic and easy to pick up. You could also learn java and get tons of easy to use programs out there.

I like the SA enough that I want to play it now. Maybe you missed the words I typed where I specifically said I would pay full price to play it in a broken state. That's how much I like Dayz. Way to swing and miss again. I also said what I said about modeling as the few live streams I've watched before this last one recently included showing off things that had just been modeled like the compass then talking about we have tons of other stuff we would like to add to the game but that stuff will have to come later. Then watching Dean try to run into a building and say we still have some buildings that need to be remade so they had interiors. My bad for assuming those things are more important than a mask. I really hate when people who have no clue decide to spout off. Holy crap we have something in common. We should be friends!

Can't tell if serious or just really bad at trolling. Or do you have confirmation then that everything else in the SA at this point that needs created is already modeled and skinned? I'm not making an argument that people doing this are holding up the game, but I am saying that when I hear that there are only a couple weapons and one with attachments that works maybe the modelers and people that can create skins should maybe work on things that players are looking forward to. Release alpha with one working gun with attachments but a bunch of clothes and masks? I'm pretty sure having buildings that need remodeled so that they are actually enterable are on the list of things that need finished before they release.

I can only speak for myself, but its not that the masks are in the game that bugs me. Adding hundreds of tiny things to the game that add variety is awesome. Its just that I want to play a Dayz without hackers and would love to be playing right now. The SA, whether you mean for it to be or not, is my last hope for Dayz. I stopped playing the mod because the mod became something I don't like. I play BF4 to get my helicopter slaughtering defenseless fools on the ground fix. If I want to snipe some guy that just spawned from 1100 meters out I can do that too. Dayz mod has become Battlefield without the conquest points and non-threatening zombies thrown into the mix. The last server I played on ended with me getting run over by an APC about thirty seconds after I spawned. I look forward to actually playing a game about surviving in a zombie apocalypse. I want to buy the SA today knowing that it its broken and not ready. I want to buy it today regardless of its state because it seems to be lacking all of the things that make Dayz less about survival and more about just killing as many defenseless people as possible. I want to buy it today because I believe what you've said about the processes put into place to severely limit hacking. I'm willing to wait around, lurking of the forums, until it releases. Its just a huge let down to be told it needs to be perfect before it releases but then we see added fluff items that aren't part of making it awesome thrown in. Don't mistake my impatience for anger. I want to play Dayz and anything that appears to not be getting the SA out the door is a disappointment.

Um, would you be opposed to Rocket and team blatantly stealing this for SA? Awesome idea! The sewers are some of the creepier, most fun levels in Left4Dead. Just being hemmed in with no where to go makes whatever happen more intense.

Dammit. It sounds like SA is getting closer and I just started getting into State of Decay. Just kidding. I would buy alpha today if it only had one gun, one bullet and one zombie.

I must admit this is the first story like this in a long time, that I've read to the very end. Awesome tale to tell BlurHitz and thank you for telling it!

This^^ Encapsulates what a lot of people are feeling right now. Delay the Alpha because you want it to work? Great. Show an update photo of a stupid ass mask and star spangled underwear? ...

lol no doubt. I'm a hero so I will respond to calls for help on the coast but only if I have a friend online as well. Hide all my gear except a few things needed to survive and head out. Have my friend drive me close, jump out and he takes off while I do what needs done. I would never just run along the coast though.

Since I try to play hero I will always respond to bandits and threats with bullets. I have only had a dozen or so people try to get me to put my weapon down. The first time I gave up my gun and got shot in the back of the head afterward. After that I have always fought back and only once did I die trying to kill them. There were actually four of them and I killed two and got a horde of zombies on our location that took out another one of them. All the other times the guy trying to be a tough guy got shot. Its assumed that anyone sticking me up is trying to get my gun and ammo and will kill me afterwards. Given that I have no reason not to die trying. At the very least our fight will bring every zombie in town so if I die they will either die as well or drastically lower the amount of ammo they have.

I had a server with Dayz.st and could use their control panel to delete goats if I wanted. Every instance of everything could be deleted or modified. You just remove the definition for it and it wouldn't spawn.

I would consider it the same as combat logging and there's just no way you can not think of it as cheating. Players that do it know they are exploiting the game but no one can punish them for it so they think they're getting away with something. If you ever see a player do this in game, just wait them out and welcome them back into the game with a nice warm bullet. I've waited an hour and a half when a guy combat logged on me and the payoff was definitely worth it when i shot him in the face. Worst part of losers like that is he was trying to kill me as I went to answer a call for help. He then logged when I fired back and hit him a few times.

Depends on who your provider is. If you have a decent database editor through them you should be able to edit that to keep anything from spawning on your server.
