You weren't on Green Mountain were you? Stuff is seriously messed up there. No honestly, that place is seriously fucked up... D:

Try this one then.. I made it last night: There's definitely an issue somewhere..

I agree that the zombies are too retarded in this update. Definitely don't think they're ruining the game.. they just need work. It would be nice to see them pursue a little more ruthlessly, I made a video last night where they seemed to stop for breathers every few seconds.. Not very dangerous atm. :P

I think the zombie path-finding is a little messed up.. :P

You know, maybe arma2oa beta and dayz alpha at the same time is starting to cause problems.. It sucks to try and figure out which build is causing my issues.. just sayin' Eg.

I went through the same thing. It's not that you're stuck at loading. It's just that you're not waiting long enough. I've experienced some extended waiting times while trying to join various servers. Try leaving it for a bit and do something else. It took almost 10 minutes to connect, the second time I tried. But it *did* connect.

Um.. the point of the video was to confirm that it is indeed possible. Did you play the circus music at the same time? My step son was busting his gut at the silly zombies. I *would* edit the music in, but I'm not sure how. (don't reply to this in the thread, pm me if you can help please) :)

Here's my video of broken zombies in the new update: I recommend you play this in the background while you watch: :)

Wait till you see my video.. It's at 91% currently. :)

Um, have you actually agro'd any? They're currently completely retarded. I made a video, youtube says it will be up in about 15 minutes. Long story short, they chase you around for a few seconds.. seemingly stop for a breather, and then if you try to walk to where they are standing, they run over to where you were and start flailing at the air.. I'm serious, I'm even going to edit into the video for shits and giggles. ;)

Agreed. Would be awesome. Also, full soda/vodka should leave an empty can/bottle in your inventory. As for my feedback: I got into a server on my second attempt. First time I thought I was stuck at loading and hit alt-f4. (hope the log info is useful) The second attempt, I thought I was stuck at loading again, so I tried alt-f4, didn't work. A moment later, I saw "Creating Player" or whatever and I got into the game. I started with a fresh spawn so my first thought was to agro soome zombies and check out how they are in the new update. The result was a 1:11 minute video in which I run around with 2 zeds on my tail, and both of them are dumb as nails. (currently uploading to Youtube, will post shortly) I think the zeds are broken.. also waiting a *really* long time at loading. disclaimer: I'm not complaining, just posting feedback in the appropriate place. ;)

Uh oh, I just got stuck at loading and hit alt-f4 to quit.. Im not gonna get bant am I? D: Just kidding.. ;) Also, read the first post dude.. It says in BIG LETTERS that the 5 second timer ISN'T IN THE UPDATE.. nice reading skills \o/ Edit: It looks like this: 5 second timeout on disconnect is NOT implemented, as the engine is preventing it currently

If be "he" you mean Rocket, then "he" hasn't done anything. An Arma 2 patch changed the gun damage. Not DayZ updates: http://dayzdb.com/news/weapon-changes-in-arma2-162/

Hey Rocket, why not put a respawn queue in place.. When someone hits respawn, they go into a loading queue where it shows how many people are ahead of them. Something like this: Waiting to Spawn. You are number 666 out of 233446 players awaiting respawn. Thank you for your patience.. :P That would make people value their lives a bit more.. ;)

http://www.gamefront...Build_95389.zip Nice looking update. Downloading now, will seed for awhile until I get back from the Beerstore, then it's testing time! :)

mmm cooked meat. :)

When it's done.

I sincerely hope you're wrong.. :(

Blah, I had shit typed out and then I hit backspace on my laptop. D: Anyway, cool post. I've seen a bunch of these lately and it would be really cool to see stuff like this work. I really hope the Freeside traders pull off their goal.. it's exactly the type of emergent gameplay that Rocket was talking about. :)

Any chance you guys could add a "preview" button to the options, when I'm making a post? Other forums have it and it's extremely useful.. I can't believe how many times I've had to edit a post because I missed a period or forgot to apostrophate something.. (my spell check thinks apostrophate isn't a word.. added.) I'll probably need to edit this post.. almost guaranteed.. as a matter of fact, I'll give up every can of beans I have, if you add this feature to the forums. :) edit: in the quick reply options.. I recently learned that there are "more reply options" so I'll ask to have a preview button when I use quick reply. Please? I have more beans..

Damn you Quick Reply option! Um.. ok, beans for everyone! :D Edit: here comes that edit I spoke of.. ;)

I'll admit I had to look up egregious.. :P Edit: I wish real dictionaries could pronounce the word when I touch the speaker icon.. that would be soooo cool.

you can lower your weapon with a double-click of the ctrl key.. I think that's it. problem with it is, anything you do pretty much makes you raise your weapon.. well, that and the fact that if you don't have your weapon raised at all times, someone will get the drop on you in a true "shoot first" scenario. Other than that, I agree. judging other players intentions is nearly impossible without proper body language and vocal cues. Too bad we have that whole gameplay vs. realism thing to contend with. :( edit: drunk gamer vs. crappy laptop keyboard

That's pretty much what I was trying to say.. good writing skills? sorry no, that's not what I meant. I'm not a dick, I meant if you don't agree with me, I will write an eloquent(unless I'm drunk by then) reply, and then block you.. er no.. never mind, I'm just drunk. Here have my beans. :beans:

Duping isn't the problem. Re-spawn buttons(or the lack thereof) aren't the problem. Hackers aren't the problem. Weapon damage isn't the problem. I totally get the fact that we need pvp, I'm not complaining about getting headshot and losing all my gear. I have no problem with people camping out on a hill, overlooking a high activity area and shooting random people for shits and giggles. That is all highly emergent gameplay and it's the reason that we all love this mod. My only problem with this mod is with the players that shoot on sight, because they are afraid that if they don't, they will be shot on sight. Rather than go on for hours about this, I'll just step aside and allow the non-retarded people to reply with their thoughts. (retarded people will be blocked via their profile. I just found this feature and it's been quite useful already!) :) Edit: Damn you shitty laptop keyboard! D:
