I like this, I've been hearing about it for awhile now, guess I'll have to check it out. I'm not really worried about any supplies or whatever, but I could probably help with gathering stuff or something. I'll have to check out the server.. unfortunately the beta versions are currently not updated, I hope this issue gets sorted at some point in the near future..

Yeah dude, that was self defence, not murder. We can forgive a perfectly reasonable response to a completely unreasonable threat. I'm just glad that when it came down to him or you, the mentally stable one came out of it breathing. ;)

I'm playing today. hit me up with a server in a pm, and I'll work out where you are etc.

pretty funny how that works eh? I don't know if you ever played Chinese Whisper, but this reminds me of that game. You get a bunch of people and line them up. The first person whispers something to the person next to them: "Dean wears yellow socks" By the time the message reaches the other end of the line it has become: "Dean's yellow socks are ruining DayZ" Not to mention, if you change something that people make use of, they will make it into something personal against them. I could be up in arms about single player being removed, but I fortunately understand *why* it's being removed, so I accept it has to happen. I could QQ all over the forums about how I can't play SP anymore.. but what's the point? Finally, you can answer people's concerns in this thread until your face turns blue.. the replies get flooded by all the people whining about their personal reasons for disconnecting, and all the rational explanations in the world get pushed off the page in favour of complaints about the exact issue you addressed on the previous page. And this is compounded by the fact that nobody bothers reading the first post, or any of the pages before the one they land on.. Can't win.

Wow, too many replies, too little time. :P

There is the answer for everyone who considers their situation to be unique. This is for all of you with: Shitty ISP's Shitty wireless connections Special needs children Special needs wives/gf's Server hopping due to crappy server/night time etc.. Anyone else who complained that they disconnect for valid reasons. If it's valid, you can go create a ticket and it will be dealt with according to your situation. (I feel sorry for the guys who have to deal with all the "boohoo! I alt-f4'd one too many times, but this is why" nonsense) :P As for the respawn button: jump off a roof, climb a tower and swan dive off, or just suck it up and start heading where you need to go.. There will be spawn systems etc put in place eventually, just be patient until they are added. <3 edit: I am a little butthurt over the single player being disabled.. I can't play SP mod on the current version anymore, but you don't see me QQ'ing all over the forums and posting threads about how my dog plays in the Armoury while I'm at work. :P

You're a horrible person.. I laughed like a loon! ;)

Wow, I can't believe how many times I've seen some whiny kid complain about some change that's announced, and next thing you know people are posting QQ threads about how the [insert current big change] is going to break the game. Every single time.. It's seriously getting old. Either play the game and like it and report the bugs you find, or come back when it's done.. Removing starting weapons didn't kill the game. Adding Bear Traps didn't break the game. Removing the Respawn button will *not* break the game. Also, please stop demanding that Rocket fix things *right now* I'm so tired of retards making demands and ultimatums like anyone gives a shit what they think. All you do when you demand changes/fixes or threaten to quit playing/uninstall is make me and other "serious" people chuckle. Seriously.

It's not your DayZ, it's the servers. It will be back when ever they are done doing whatever it is they are doing. In the meantime, you can connect directly to the server of your choice via ip, which you can get from here: http://arma2.swec.se/server/list It shouldn't be long before it's back up, but it only makes it slightly more annoying, as it's still possible to play. :)

You can just jump off a building, if you really want to die.. It's not hard to find something taller than a foot or two. ;)

Ok, thanks for the answer tho.. :)

@Rocket: Can you PLEEEEEASE put the Visibility indicator back into the Debug Monitor. Even if it's just until you get zed behaviour locked down. It's very useful for testing purposes.. (Please?)

Hey Rocket, can we have the visibility back in our debug monitors please? Thank you! :)

Yup, it's annoying, but it *will* work. You just have to keep trying until it works.

It told me that I couldn't run Arma 2 on my laptop. But it works fine. Also said I couldn't run New Vegas. Works fine. It's a good benchmark, but it's not perfect.

I'm so glad you posted that. People need to understand that there is only so much that can be done at the "Mod" level. If he had full access to add features directly to the engine, it would be a million times easier to do everything that he wants to do. As it is, anything major that has to do with the game engine directly must be hacked in. Once there is an engine being designed specifically for DayZ, it will be much easier to add the "dream features" that aren't currently possible with the Arma 2 engine.

The m1911 still is a one-hit kill, maybe you had a lag issue. As for the random zombie spawns.. I agree. It's odd seeing them spawn randomly in fields as I'm running past and occasionally they appear right next to me as if by magic. Other than that, it's been a great update.

I used the hatchet for that a few nights ago and it took 5 hits. I'm not sure how it works, in the source engine a breakable objects uses health, but it doesn't seem to work that way here. It sucks when you're trying to get in before you agro and the zed across the street is looking your way.. D:

I honestly wish you the best of luck with this. It's probably going to turn into a big flame war or something retarded.. but before it does, I want to say that I agree. But good luck. :)

You can find guns like the AKM and AK74 in places like the fire station or military camps. Keep your guard up in those places though, other players will be looking for the same thing. You can also try deer stands, they're a little less high traffic, and they spawn pretty good guns some times. Finally, barns will usually have at least a Lee Enfield or a Shotgun.. check the map linked below for locations. As for the Town names.. you can usually find a sign on the outskirts of whatever town you are in. Again, look for the name on the map that I am going to link, and then use local landmarks to orient yourself. Also when you spawn in, the location shows up very briefly at the bottom right of your screen, but it doesn't stay there for long. Here is the map that I find most useful. There are others around the net, but this one is my favourite: http://dayzdb.com/map Hope this helps, good luck! :) ps. Don't tell other players where you are in chat, usually they just want to come and rob you.

Buy it now. It's $17.99 on Steam today.. can't lose! :)

I agree, that's what we're seeing now. This is a test, as mentioned a million times before.. more than that, it's an experiment. What that tells me is that the idea will be perfected here and then moved over to Arma 3 when it's time for bug fixing and final features. 2013 isn't that far off.. I doubt DayZ will be the flagship for the engine, but I would be surprised if the "final" version of DayZ doesn't end up on the Arma 3 engine. My guess is that a "lite" version of DayZ will be released on Arma 2 when it's "done" But the Arma 3 version will be a standalone product, which may or may not be included in a "Collector's Edition" of Arma 3.

Im pretty happy with the Arma 2 engine. And that said, I've got a feeling that when/if DayZ becomes standalone, it will still be using the Arma 3 engine.. It wouldn't make sense to go with a different engine at this point unless they made their own like NS2 did. (which is still pretty close to steam from the look of the editors etc..) Usually when a mod becomes stand-alone, it still goes with the engine it was built on.. the devs just come up with the money to buy a license so they can actually sell it.

Manually verify. You can download the relevant patch here: http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php I'm currently running 95054 as are most servers, it seems. I usually try to stay up to date, but sometimes the beta is 3-4 ahead of the servers, so I just watch what the majority runs and install that.
