Decent videos. Need more aiming deadzone though.

Sad to see people still complaining about this. You spawn with a flashlight now, no one else's problem that you toss them first chance you get. If you don't like night, play on a server in a timezone where it's daylight. It's a simulation game, sure it's not perfect, but it's not like you're going to have perfect vision for miles around at night in real life. Lunar cycles, etc..

Your spot in the very NE isn't very clever at all, since my group and I have had a camp there in a certain server for about three or four weeks, only been raided once and lost a vehicle, and moved immediately after. Ended up finding the vehicle not far away, either.

You guys do know, some people have standards and would rather try out a game before they waste their money on it, seeing as how so many piece of shit games have been coming out recently. Don't turn this into a debate, he was answered, let it die.

Just copy most of the main content files over to the folder in steamapps->common, then verify the integrity.

Wedge a penny in your keyboard. Done. Edit: and then I replied to the completely wrong thread.

Most of the people complaining about night bought arma2 just for this mod, if you're going to complain, at least get used to the game a bit more, sure it's hard to see without aid, but that's what chemlights, flares, compasses and maps are for. It's not really that hard to keep yourself oriented at night, even if you just spawned in the pitch black on the coast, keep it on your right and you're either going east or north. It's no one else's problem if you decide to not use your flares or chemlights intelligently. If you hear a zombie, stop in your tracks until you can locate them. Then either sneak around or pop them in the head if you feel so inclined. But, the easiest suggestion is just don't play at night if you don't like it. There are other servers in different timezones you know.

They are already working on it, thinking of a good way to patch it, no need to get your panties in a bunch. This way it's better, would you rather them take all the servers down for a few hours to patch them all, and then have everyone connect instantly and possibly take down the central database, resulting in more problems for the next few days, or just let them get it done on their own time, with everything going smoothly?

You can expect to die.

On account of this feature being removed is there any way to get a rollback for characters that were teleported to the ocean upon change in this version (1.5.7)?

Same just happened to me, seems to be quite prevalent as I saw at least 6 more people out there with me on US3.

Fix'd

Direct is broken? Is that why i was talking to someone and they didn't say anything? Or is the fact that he "Saluted" indicative of him not having a microphone? From my experience, it seems to not work, rebinding the key, etc.. Didn't even see the chat I typed out in direct.

My faith in the community of Day Z has been restored. Tonight, about 2am, I logged in after bugging through the tower of firehouse at the Northwest airfield and breaking my legs. To my surprise, not having any broken bones, but I digress. After logging in, I continued my expedition of the airfield, heading north, crawling and snaking my way through the hordes of zombies, upon arriving to the top two hangars furthest north, I noticed a player walking along the side of it. To my dismay, I dropped my glowstick and extinguished it as quickly I could, not wanting to get killed. I crawled my way back to the other side of the building I was next to, only to be greeted by the player I had the chance of getting to see beforehand. We both stood there at the opposite ends of the wall for what seemed an eternity before we both darted back in cover, I heard him shout out, "Woah, woah, hold on... are you friendly?" I replied in direct "Y-yes yes I'm friendly." (which he probably did not hear on account of direct being broken as of now) In the panic I had apparently stood up and sprinted for cover, alerting a nearby zombie to my position. I panicked and unloaded on it. Over my gunshots hearing him say, "Woah!" I had no choice but to sprint away from the building I was on, exposing myself, but to my surprise, he joined in, helping me kill the zombies. By the end of the whole ordeal we were both wounded and bleeding, I apparently contracted Parkinson's from one of the said zombies that struck me in the firefight. After it was all said and done, we both sort of stood there and looked at each other. I didn't want to take any chances and took off farther north from the direction he came, and he went down south, the direction I had come in. Fast forward about 15 minutes, including some friendly chat in side. I scouted the rest of the airfield, with no luck in finding painkillers. I was weary to ask such a thing, but did anyway. "Do you have any spare painkillers, I can trade for them." He replied, "No, not currently." Another few minutes pass and he says to me, "I've found some painkillers." Some more chatting passes and I let him know I didn't even have any ammo for my AKS, we ended up meeting at the same spot we first had our encounter. I was sure to be on my best behavior, not wanting to give him a reason to fill me full of his buckshot, standing with my main weapon lowered as he approached, he gave me my needs, I asked if he needed anything in return and declined. He then proceeded to lead me to a building he had come across that had an m4 (i think) with an m203 grenade launcher on the bottom, along with quite a few stanag rounds and a smoke for the launcher. Long story short, after my friend had some bad luck earlier in the same server, we vowed to kill anyone on sight. I have since changed my mind thanks to a true saint in the zombie apocalypse.
