it is not a beta Arma problem... only Rocket's ^_^ (I always keep the last data files to be able to revert in case of.... well... what has happened lol...) Swapping back to 1.7.1.5 = everything works fine! (and can actually spawn Zombies around the map... just as civilians but still funny lol... and can set the zombies to play-able and have 'tag' matches xD)but... the moment I updated to 1.7.2 the game fails to work for most non DayZ things (yay for a mod making it so that you can ONLY play the mod xD .... basically* )

go to the map editor, or try some missions/Campaigns....... *turns on Trololol song and just imagine it playing in the background* xD the 'Symbiotic relationship' between Arma 2 and Day Z has kinda been shattered... Through Rocket simply plowing over Arma 2 in his 'fix/update' of Day Z...... this patch... did what most mods NEVER do in the past (to my knowledge at least) Rocket's latest patch... actually broke the single player game... you cant do some missions, the map editor(the make your own map to figure out all the sniping spots in Cherno... or ... a mission for you and buddies) IS COMPLETELY BROKEN WITH THIS NEW PATCH... so that you literally are incapable of completing some missions... or spawning just about anything(editor) xD so not only are Zombies kinda glitchy... and gear disappears when you swap clothing(or teleporting) ... but it is possible that any future bugs with the 'Arma 2 client' are.... actually due to Rocket's tinkering... and not actually Arma2's fault :lol: EDIT: one rather ... hilarious 'Trap' to set is to either A.... place a tent in Cherno with a camo or civilian clothing you might have found (NOT ghillie suits... though you could, but I have been seeing people wearing them... but dont risk it anyways) Save the tent AND THEN... find the tallest building nearby and wait (secluded with binoculars if possible) .... EVENTUALLY somebody will walk by, see the tent (in front of firehouse works great xD) and possibly look in the tent (they might be expecting a bandit trap... which also works... but in this case it is not that sort of trap. SO having reached the tent, seen the costume, looked around.... and grabbed the clothing.. odds are they put it on right away.... AND BOOOOOOOOM.. you just got an unofficial kill lol... that person has either A. died.... or B. been teleported without any gear whatsoever to... who knows where (basically worse than just dead due to not having bandaids..) AND... with the zombies as they are right now... that player will likely die again lol (yes.... I was bored and wanting to take rage out at losing a ghillie suit and newly aquired AS50 ..... due to the glitch in 7.2 and... decided to have some fun vs simply killing people for gear I dont give a care about) Edit 2: .... I just realized I never gave an alternative trap choice (the trap to set is either A.... ^^^^^^^^ ) or B... keep it in your backpack or in your inventory... so that when someone kills you and loots your body... ^^^^^^ happens =P go go 'killing from beyond the grave' ...and yeah.... ^_^ have fun ruining people's day!(blame it on rocket... or the Apocalypse! =P) Edit3: in summary for those TL;DR lulz this patch for this MOD broke Arma2... MAD PROPS FOR <<<<!!!... there are soo many bugs/glitches/things but that is ALPHA for you... YAY TRAPS(not of the bear variety) AND... Good job, keep up the good work Rocket and Friends, CANT WAIT FOR BETA(or live lol)! ^_^ I've bought two copies of Arma already lol... so has my co-conspirator IRL friend lol.... our most anticipated game of... the YEAR/S (depending on how long you take =P ) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- May God have mercy on the noobs.... Cause I sure as hell wont

it seems to me that there is more 'nerfing ___ this patch to compensate for problem A..... only to Fix/buff Problem A without going back and buffing _____' prior to this patch, crouch running had been nerfed Sight wise in order to compensate for zombies being half blind.... which was 'ok' NOW... you buff zombie sight range to... almost scoped at times it seems (lol) without RE-buffing Crouch running. so now you have crouch running which is only slightly more 'sneaky' then simply running/sprinting... and even crouched walking is only slightly more stealthy then crouch Running............ so in the end you have prone for less then 20 visibility(or so...) or crouch walking for 50, C-R for 60-80, running for 90-120 and.. sprinting for 80-120-190+ and zombies able to see you when you are not moving, and even when your crouched(so walk/run does not matter) Re-buff crouch running and crouch walk... and would be better I think. IN REGARDS TO THE ZOMBIES: I kinda.. almost... sorta... like the new 'oh god i gotta be stealthy or i am swarmed' approach... BUT...currently the only way to be stealthy is to be prone.... which takes ages... (or to all out sprint through towns hoping to find a door that leads to a building with a rear exit... or... logging out every couple blocks and relogging in) /shrug and ... x-x standing 100% still should REDUCE YOUR VISIBILITY by a ton compared to moving...lol, but oh well. EDIT: yeah... you can be on the roof of a building do a 360 degree look around, see absolutely no zombies in sight from the roof/tower (for blocks...)... and decide to climb back down the ladder.... and you more then likely will be swarmed at the bottom a moment or two after touching down due to zombies being able to see through walls/blocks/cities which... is not cool! xD i doubt a zombie virus would provide Superman-like X-ray eyes and the ability to run through walls unhurt (and yeah I know thats a bug in the Arma 2 system...) ALSO CONGRATZ ROCKET!!! YOU BROKE YOUR HOST GAME WITH YOUR PATCHES! lolololololololol..... try loading up the editor with the current patches applied... almost all vehicles/buildings/guns/etc have been removed... and some missions no longer work because of it xD /highfive) oh... and a bug that is actually COOL ... if you are trying to outrun zombies and happen to find a downhill slope... they might actually run fast enough to leave the ground.... and fall to their deaths xD (they are no longer slowed while running up or down slopes so they move TOO fast XD... totally worth risking a respawn if you just lost your gear to the update, to see a zombie fly... and die) Edit 2: .... PLEASE I BEG YOU TO REMOVE THE 'system loaded, please wait' menu that pops up just before you spawn in.... it has killed me at least twice now...(you spawn in unable to move or do anything till it disappears and actually allows you in) --------------------------------------------------------------- God have mercy on the new people lol....... Cause I sure wont

lulz... your patch broke arma 2 .... cant play 3rd infantry domination map... cant map editor to make a sniping map in cherno/electro to bide time.... way to break Arma xD... ----------------------------------------------------------------- DayZ.... it is spreading

DONT UPDATE YOUR SERVERS/CLIENTS RIGHT AWAY.... WAIT A COUPLE DAYS so that Rocket and the rest can fix all these bugs lol... otherwise.. be prepared to spawn in with 100% nothing on... and if you change clothing (whether to camo, or civilian clothing) losing ALL OF YOUR STUFF... and be teleported to a random city, or in the ocean.. etc... still... losing all your gear lol

Perhaps make it so you can pick to filter between 'normal' (regular/veteran etc difficulties) and 'Hell'(or maybe)'Living Hell' (Regular/Veteran) modes.... and that would provide those who want to HAVE to group up to survive (as described in this post.. quite a few cool sounding things... but some I dont think would work that great ) and... yeah.... that would provide those who want the game as it is (and as future patches/version go) ... and also have the 'Hell' game mode for those who want to make it a bigger survival Sim. and KEEP THE TWO VARIETIES SEPERATE GEAR WISE (so no playing on reg/Vet to gear up... and pick a position... to swap to Hell/Living-Hell and keep that gear) I do agree with OP that NOW IS THE TIME to try that stuff out.... but yeah.. would be nice to have an option between both modes.

through their own site (bohemia) it is 24.99 for the 'steam edition' you click the 'add to cart' button. click pay for order(something like that) and it takes you to your cart, and you go through ... a couple off steps to place the order, and then a couple of steps to pay for said order... at the end of ^ steps... you will wind up with a 'steam ID Key' (or something like that) then you highlight it. COPY ... sign into steam, library, bottom left 'add game' 'activate a product on steam' and paste in the 'steam id key'... thats all =P (yeah purchasing through their site is kinda strange.... and if you see a 'add ___ code to your mastercard/visa/etc' just click 'no thanks' (not 100% sure if it was one of those annoying as hell adverts... or an actual thing so ... no thanks =P) GO GO.. join the ranks of players with one, or two accounts lol

^^^ what T0e said! x-x my buddy (and our mutual buddies) and I would love to play LAN or 'private' servers that are just us and anybody we want to join(those mutual friends) NOT TO FARM GEAR FOR OTHER SERVERS.... but to simply be able to explore, do crazy stuff...(hold a 'capture the ... tire.... or helicopter rotor between two cities or something... dodging zombies all the way.... or jack up the spawn limit and hole up in say... the fire station with as much ammo as we can hold and see how long we last before they eventually overwhelm us with bodies.) and... cant.. due to obvious reason =P and simply have servers that are connected to the 'hive' and servers that are not... and you have a toon on hive set.. and the toon for 'lulz!'

Server = multiplay :: - UK (v1.7.1.5) [REGULAR|3DP:ON|CH:ON] please do not play testing only time = 12.49 AM Pacific (around 8 AM server) Screenshot = http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/918982608605754571/12C718185D74D49C4159187FFF75C3E6F94E09E0/ Player ID = 34391046 Issue= My friend and I had been playing on the server multiplay :: - UK (v1.7.1.5) [REGULAR|3DP:ON|CH:ON] for a day and a half now. We had been working our way away from Elektro and had gotten in and around the area of Dolina and had placed a tent with several valueable things in the tent (car parts, medical supplies, ammo etc.) and had started out north of the town. All of a sudden a player name 'Midge' joined, and after a few moments out of the blue... both my friend and I see the 'You have been kicked' message pop up. SO thinking maybe it was a bug or a ping spike kick... we tried rejoining... it worked, and we turned to head back and gather up the tent and as many supplies as we could carry.... hardly moved before another ' You have been kicked' showed up... This repeated several times until the server closed.... and started back up with the name above (and the added 'please do not play, testing only') ..... with a password required to log in. We had all our valuables in there and Midge kicked EVERYONE but himself out repeatedly without any sort of warning at all... and is now in there by himself... alone... which (after browsing the forums... is entirely against the rules) SO... is there a way to get our tent and supplies back? and... can something be done about Midge? x-x or.... can the password be removed.... or ... set up a temp password and let us know it long enough to get our supplies out? (my buddies ID is 34390342) Thanks in Advanced....... Tagg Taggme (^me) Desperado (^friend)

but at least the scumbag gets blacklisted... versus getting away with it Scott Free

.... i respawned as a priest... O_O (also Seattle 95

like the general idea.. and in each journal/paper/whatever you find on your family... could be just some simple writings of them meeting up, what they experienced.. AND the end result = 'base camp' with a skin/clothes/supplies.. /shrug example.... brothers: YOU, Bob, Bill you find bob, bob has a journal 'washed up on the beach, cant believe I survived the boat/plane/___ crash... seems to be around noon, but cant be sure... I see a town in the distance, going to make my way there ' *next page* ' I reached the town... smelled god awful, but dont seem to see anybody yet. The setting sun adds an eerie feel... will have to find shelter in one of these homes' *next page* 'I Found someone! an older lady stumbling along... I started running towards her and called out... she seemed startled as she had fallen over... but when I leaned down to help her up she tried to bite me!... it was then that I noticed the same smell from earlier was coming from her, and...*insert description* I had to kill her. *next page* well it is morning and you guess who I found!!! I had hardly left the home I picked out when I heard a yell for help... IT WAS BILL! somehow he survived too *next page* it has been a month since I last wrote in this old journal... We had been doing well, finding supplies as we went along, keeping it an old house we made our 'base camp', even found a few guns with ammo to fight off these... whatever they are.. but it seems luck is no longer at my side... while scouting an abandoned warehouse in ___ we let our guards down after not seeing any activity... one moment we were doing one last check of the place, the next... we were surrounded! We took them all down, but not before one bit my leg.. seems broken... Bill carried me to a room with a lock on the door and left to go back to the Base Camp for supplies... it is two days journey both ways... Hope he makes it back... *2nd to last page* The wound is infected and I feel myself slipping away... I dont have long... to Bill: I am sorry I didnt take your advice about keeping alert... If you find anybody else from our family, tell them I love them.. Good luck TO anybody else who might find this: If you see a man around 6'1, brown hair, wearing a black jacket... please give this to him... he had been somewhere around ____*town name* *last page* I have putt this under the dor so that u are safes from me when you back... Do not open dor as I am out of suplys and dont wish to hurt anyon... Take care Keep alert Bob ' (spelling failing as his humanity succumbs to the zombie/infection) then later on in another town you find another body/journal for Bill and it either A. tells the location of the next person to find(say... a dad or something) or B. location of the 'base camp' with ... a skin/clothing maybe, or ... supplies (yeah... kinda morbid finding a skin... but whatever xD) (this all is depending on whether it is a thing you kinda start with and travel towards his end location finding things on the way... or ... find his body and you only get updates as you find more family... OR!!! he is just a random zombie that spawns in each town for you to find to start the 'family search') edit: ok... so.... I kinda wrote more then I had thought I would for the journal thing... x-x doesnt have to be that long (or could be longer... whatever) =P

could also have them randomly spawn mid air, fly around for a bit(on a path chosen at random) and then the propeller slows down and then the crash, explosions, pretty lights! as you described. ^ of course being once the game is in/past beta.. it would be a MAJOR noise that people would notice and probably follow (along with some zombies perhaps depending how their pathing system ends up) and the propeller slowing down, is simply the chopper running out of fuel or, something breaking etc... but it would more then likely bring anybody nearby to investigate and lead to, a bit of pvp (or perhaps negotiations but... prolly just pvp lol) and then have the already crashed choppers like they have already .

yeah... in pitch black (or at least complete cloud cover blocking stars/moon) a single cig can be seen for miles if smoked on a clear hilltop IRL.. so it is a 'use at own risk!' for more then just one health reason xD

^^ I too had questions regarding if it works or not.. so I took the initiative and am downloading the demo now.. =P HERE IS HOPING IT WORKS!

-Fix a fleet of cars (depending on how many friends your playing with.. 2 per car or so) -Remake Mad Max ... =P

This guy sounds like the devil on your right (or left) shoulder. Stop being a baby and rob that Wal-Mart. Stop being a baby and don't use the condom. Might as well throw all fucking moral codes out the goddamn window. agreed... though that 2nd one... 'stop being a baby and... make a baby' was all that I could think of when reading that...
