They've confirmed zombies will run indoors, and they're working on the wall issue with zombies (zombies only detect floor so they 'cut' the floor where the wall is or some such)

I would honestly say the only thing that's delaying the Alpha release at this point is the reason they gave us, Stability. They've said in the past that they'll fix/add in things after the release. It would not do them well if they lied about why they're not releasing, and honestly wouldn't make sense.

I smell the graveyard, but I would agree. Though I believe more likely the Greeks will try to arrest BIS for some bullshit reason. They do update us more or less everyday, its minor information and pictures but still.

The 'problem' with WarZ was that it was a rushed game trying to cash in on DayZ's success. There was quite a bit of info that was outright lies that was released (how long it was in production, and a few others) and many 'promises' were made about what would be in at it's release (many maps, 100+ person servers, ect ect) that they never delivered (with the exception of the fully working microtransaction store, that worked perfectly from what I heard). For those saying that the game is being deliberately delayed so they can stuff more features in I'd call bullshit. The reason why we keep seeing more features added is because there is a TEAM working on it now, not just Rocket. And that team is split up into many different experts and fields. An artist can't really help out with the network bubble, or with stability, so rather than just sitting on a shelf they keep plugging away at the models of buildings or guns or other items to add in.

If it's free it's not DLC or an Expansion, its a patch.

Optimization won't 'stop' just because they hit Alpha. Hell, it won't stop even after 'final' release.

Taurus Judge or comparable pistol. Revolver, capable of chambering .410 bore, .45 ACP and .45 Long Colt and some models can take .454 Casull Leaning towards this when I move to the Big Island.

Question: Can you wake me up when you release it? Or even an hour or two after you release it.

*opens the brake valve cock on the last car, negating the purpose of an old black man running on the tops of cars to apply hand breaks* And hype train stopped. (I'm the fucking Neil Degrasse Tyson of trains sadly, stopped me from fully enjoying Unstoppable and Lone Ranger...as well as getting pissed off at some of the things in GTA 5)

BURN THE HERETIC!!!

There's no real way to block 3rd party programs (legally anyway), even then people will find/make bypasses

Stop pming me because you don't like the answers others give you, I'll give the same answers. Can't help you., read store stickies on the forums.

And I'm just sitting here...waiting for DayV...err DayZ.

It'll probably just be an unused frequency that everyone 'agrees' to as the new side chat.

Aye, you can place a radio on the ground for either distraction or surveillance. Was also possible that other players could hear your radio in direct if you don't have a headset combined with it. Pop some fresh batteries into a spare radio, set the frequency and lock the key to transmit. Place the thing somewhere and you can hear whats going on with another radio. Car driving by, footsteps, someone talking, zombie gnawing on your radio. I really hope that how it works out is that if you don't have a headset or a LASH style mic (forget what the acronym stands for but its a voice apmlifying microphone SWAT teams and the like use, a whisper is normal speaking volume, normal is yelling, yelling will have your teammates hitting you with a stick for making them deaf.) plugged into the radio anything you say/pick up on the radio will transmit at least partly in direct.

There will be no 'global chat' or side chat in standalone. To use anything but direct you will need to pick up a radio, this has been confirmed. I'm sure we the players will establish 'standard' side/global chats as time goes on (Ie Frequency 124.65 is side chat).

Oh sure, it could have been out earlier, but you would have had either badly broken zombies, or no zombies at all in a zombie game. And that is part of public testing, finding the bugs so they can quash them.

Was wondering when this was gonna come up, 'hey they should make it so we can get diseased from zombies' followed by a post of mine that just says /facepalm. Glad to know your post wasn't facepalm worthy, but if they succumbed to their infection they would be dead (and not undead like Walking Dead Type Zombies). If certain zombies showed symptoms that would be cool.

You used to be able to, from what I heard someone abused it (changing their name every other hour after trolling posts or some shit) and they disabled it.

Some kind of improve armor would be welcome. As said it wouldn't protect very much from bullets but that's not the only threat out there. Sports equipment would be a logical place to start, I'm only familiar with what most of you would call 'Hand Egg' for armor (football would seam to be the game of choice in Chenarus judging from the field types) but something as simple as a leather jacket would provide some protection from scratches and bites. War Z (book) was mentioned, most of that is existing specialty equipment such as shark suits, while most bemoan the movie (I think overall it's not a bad movie, just not true to the source material) Vogue and Duck Tape arm guards sounds like a good idea (I mean Christ on a pogo stick, the ads alone in one of thous things could probably stop a low caliber bullet). It might sound kinda silly but making a suit of armor out of tin cans could possibly work (against zombie bites and scratches anyway). I would remind that all armor does not protect against all things. A Knight would have an outer layer of plate to protect against crushing blows (axes, maces, heavy swords) and slashes, a layer of chain mail under that to protect against piercing attacks (arrows, bolts, stabs, axes again) and a layer of padding/leather under that to soften the blows and hopefully block whatever gets through the first 2 layers. A Kevlar vest might stop a bullet, but won't stop a knife (so much so that I believe UK police wear stab vests now instead of bullet proof vests). Different protective equipment should be looked into, from the simple (sports gear), to the somewhat absurd (think they call it 'Dragon Scale' armor, soldiers can dive on a grenade and only get slight bruising from the impact).

Still not a good idea to let them bite/scratch you. We do get non zombie infections, not to mention bleeding.

Yay, some actual speculation about pictures and features rather than economics, politics, release dates, and the like. The weapon on the hostage's back looks more like the crowbar or another melee weapon. Unless the weapon is clipping, it looks like the grey area between his torso and arm looks like the road he's laying on rather than a receiver for a gun (that and the 'tip' of what would be the barrel looks to be a different color than the receiver). The picture's a bit too low rez at this size to tell. Kinda looks like a pipe or maybe a bat/wood club of some type. If it is a gun, its civilian and probably old (that hunting rifle they teased us with a while ago), you don't normally see brass fittings on wood furniture anymore unless it's a replica or an old piece.

I was going to say, why is the argument still continuing? It wont make combat logging stop, it'll just make it less appealing, which is the overall goal.

Screenshots/videos are usually the preferred evidence. The admins of that sever can probably check the logs with that info though.

Oh, wait we're not suppose to be rioting yet? Ohhhh..whoops. *drops Guy Fawkes mask and wipes off fingerprints from looting brick*
