People are welcome to tag along with a few of my friends sometime. I started around June, so I've played a fair amount since then, 2 friends got it in June/August and we have a guy who got it a few weeks ago.

I suppose less guns/ammo could work, but it's fine the way it is in my mind, to be honest. Cars, I don't think there should be less, if anything, more. For the amount of Zombies in an estate area, a lot of the people clearly didn't have cars or just burnt them out. I like the way cars are, it seems like there could be more though, while still being realistic. I understand your ideas and I'm not completely dismissing them, but play DayZ for a while, look into what you do a little more. I've gone hours without many guns and when I started playing, it was weeks before I saw my first car, long before I got to drive one. I respect what you say though, nothing crazy.

I've liked the Billy Mays Remembrance Foundation's (BMRF) servers. There's a whitelist, so that's usually a turn off for hackers and there's commonly an Admin on, if not they are easily request-able on the forums. They've also got few lag issues and a good community. Try them out :) http://www.BMRF.me/

No, it's not fair, and it's not allowed. The admin obviously seems bias and combat logging also isn't allowed. Shouldn't have happened, so report for admin abuse, I'm sorry, I don't believe there's anything more you can do. In the meantime, find a good server, this game has its problems, but when you look past them, it's beautiful, and there's no other like it.

Try downloading DayZCommander. It's a launcher and installer for the game. It makes it very manageable and easy to use. Set that up and you won't even need to launch through Steam. There's lots of tutorials out there, it should be straight forward but reply if you're having a problem that's unmentioned, I'll try to help :)

Personally, I like how there is no end. The fact that it seems like a life simulation is good, as the goal is to survive. Survival in other games seems useless, but since this is one that plonks you into a particular situation where survival is everything, it seems more of an unreachable goal. There is no end. You live the goal, because the goal is to live.

I hear a lot of good things about i5 2500k, but I believe i5 3570k overclocks to 4.5GHz.Also, for OP, my 560Ti runs Very High at 50-60FPS constantly. Go any higher than that.

For the $5000, sure, but for a 300-400$ gaming PC? i7 puts it way overboard.

Play for gear too long and you can't escape that feeling. Start over, do it how you want. Give gear away or delete it all so nobody else can get it, it's all up to you, but start again. Play for experience. With playing for experience comes gear, don't neglect gear. Have fun by playing for experience. It's a much better game :) Good luck!

Thanks, I had no idea when this was starting man :)

I wouldn't really be happy, but it wouldn't be so much to stop me playing.

The thing is, it had no main storyline to it, and the FPS could be improved. Try slowing the gameplay down whilst you capture, then speed up to normal in editing.

With the same card, I went from 20FPS on Normal to 50-60 on Very high by changing my processor from Dual 2.7GHz to Quad 3.2GHz. Processor needs upgrading for good gameplay, graphics card would help a lot too though. I had a 560Ti throughout.

I know what you mean, the first kill is never nice. I feel the same, I like being that good guy. Remember this though, in a situation where it's you or them, make sure it's them.

Get confirmation, but I'm almost sure Rocket said he wanted them to run indoors also, that it started off as them walking and he just left it that way currently, I think they're meant to change at some point though. Personally, it's not something that makes sense, but I like it in gameplay. We'll see how it goes down, maybe a lot of people are attached to this way.

I'm going to say Processor too, 8GB RAM is more than enough. Definitely go for a quad core soon! I played with Dual core for about 6 months, 30fps was unheard of for me. Got a quad core 3450 @3.2GHz, I now run 50-60 fps on Very high, even with a 560Ti. I'd say an i5, 3540 (3.4GHz?) or 3570k (up to, maybe above 4GHz) for overclocking.

Default is hold down 'Caps Lock'. You'll need to be in direct communication by pressing , and . Until it appears in the bottom left. For reference, you can also double tap Caps Lock to leave talk on until you press again to turn off. ArmA will use the microphone selected as Default, I can add info on how to do this if needed.

A friend of mine was (wrongly) banned. Either way, he bought a new key and got a new Steam account for it. I don't know if there's an easier way, but that's currently what I know, he just purchased ArmA 2 on a new Steam account.

I know it's not very helpful but at the moment it's probably just best to re-install all if possible. Try some other stuff first though, it'll probably take a while to download on most connections. Use re-downloading as a kind of "Ok, nothing else has worked for the past hour, let's just try this from the start" thing. Good luck.

DayZ is an unpredictable game, I love logging on and not knowing what adventure awaits me. Bandits can be annoying, but it's all part of the great game we enjoy. Nice find, hope you have more adventures like this to come :)

Context: So we log onto a server in the middle of nowhere, the owners are on, whatever. We get up and walk around the forest for a minute or two, suddenly I get sniped and he gets killed by an M249. This was unusually quick (we thought maybe hacks, but whatever), so we go to meet by Zelenogorsk, and he finds it, their camp. He takes a few things, a sniper for himself, a Coyote backpack and a weapon for me while I make my way there. One of the players who killed us goes to the camp, yet my friend manages to kill him. Naturally, I tell him to leave, as the others will surely come. 2 Minutes later, he's banned from their server. The best part is, it was hive, He got away with a fair bit of gear. They didn't ban me, so me and another friend went back and wrecked that camp a week later. Abusive server hosts...

It'd be wise to quote. If you're referring to the video, he's playing on low settings. That's due to it being a really cheap PC (gaming wise), but as said above, H3retic has a 1.3k PC and hits 40-50FPS in cities. (I imagine he plays High/Very High settings). Standalone will become better optimized however, so it's unlikely it will be that bad on Standalone, however it is unclear how much of an improvement will be in the final version.

Try something close to that, I recommend a power supply from a fairly decent brand though, Corsair is the way to go. I haven't tried it, but that seems to be fairly good from his tests in the video. Go for parts around those specs :) Good luck!

Sigh, Before I really looked into MLP, I liked the name Rainbow Dash when I came across it. That's my story, not interesting or anything, I liked the name of a character in a popular female children's TV show :( TL;DR - I stole a little pony's name.

If it has one, ask in side chat for anyone that needs medical supplies, that's the first thing you do. Live with a decent gun for now, (AK or something) ensure it's not a trap, and take medical supplies to people who need them, that's the fastest way to get humanity legitimately. Let's be honest, if you have gear that can be regained in 15 minutes, you don't really care about dying much, brush deaths off and keep going. Good luck :)
