This. I want the spooky stories, hauntings, myths and urban legends to make it over intact. I have yet to find a game that has anything even close to as cool as a supposedly haunted area.. I seriously hope something like this makes it into the full version of DayZ. :)

Yeah the current mod barely runs on my laptop with the lowest settings. I'm probably going to be stuck with the mod on my laptop, only able to play the stand-alone version on my home pc. I just hope there are places like Green Mountain, and that the "ghosts" and other spooky aspects get carried over.. One of my favourite things about DayZ as it is right now are all the scary stories and other urban legends surrounding the game. :)

Stop whining. When the patch is ready, it will be released.

If DayZ is going to be a stand-alone game, then it wouldn't make sense to use an Arma 3 map.. if they did, then it would still just feel like a mod. My guess is that they will be creating a whole new map for the game, one that is similar to Charnarus, but most likely larger and hopefully it will have islands as well. I highly doubt that Charnarus will be used and it seems unlikely that the map will be shared with any other games. Stand-alone is just that, anything else would be cheating. ;) I could see them using the base Arma 3 engine, but none of the assets, that's the most likely scenario, based on how soon we seem to be getting an Alpha.. the biggest hold-up to getting any game out the door is creating an engine, once that is done and optimized, it's just a matter of creating the sounds/models/maps etc.. (and of course tweaking the balance and adding new features.) I can't wait.. Take my money now! (I had to jump on the wagon.. lol)

Finally, something to look forward to! I've been excited about upcoming games before and been disappointed, pretty much guaranteed not to be let down by this one. Congratulations Rocket and the rest of your team, you deserve this! I'll be buying this as soon as it's available.. please release something asap! :D

Lmao! My favourite was the guy that actually quoted each point that was made in the OP.. until then I figured people just weren't reading the actual text in the pic. Wow, some of you people are pretty dumb.. but the funny thing is, only the ones who aren't dumb will understand why I said that.. ;)

Yeah that sucked.. I went in expecting actual fire-fights, not pussy shit like this. How about you let us know when you manage to take out some targets that are actually worth shooting at.. k? :)

rtfm == read the fucking manual. or in this case, rtfos (read the fucking options screen) ;)

you can also access the list from your map-screen, even if you don't have a map. Just click on "players" on the list to the left, when you are in your map screen. :)

I broke my leg by getting hit by a zombie for the first time ever. When I went to get my morphine out of my pack, it was gone! I never leave the coast without grabbing some morphine.. And it happened at Green Mountain. D:

Gotta say I agree. I never get involved in silly arguments like this, but seriously, I can't stand to read another post by this guy. @Sol: Before I block you forever, can you show *one* screenshot, post *one* link or even just name *one* game that you have developed? I somehow doubt it.. and don't give me any crap about it being a secret project or anything retarded like that, you must have *something* to show after 7 months of development. I've read through this thread in the hope that I could possibly help to explain that there *is* communication, but it's not just here in the forums, but all that I've been reading for the past hour is a bunch of people trying, and then giving up on explaining things reasonably.. dude, there's a certain point when you just need to shut the fuck up and admit that everyone else knows what they're talking about but you! I can tell you aren't a game designer by the way you talk about dev in general. It doesn't take 5 years to make a game, a playable Alpha build could be done in a few months as long as they had the assets and everything already built, it's just a matter of inserting the assets into the engine. As for the map, I could use a terrain generator and then the editor to add in the pre-built assets etc in a matter of months.. Hell, you could even use a height map to control the terrain that gets generated, and then "paint" the roads and stuff in via photoshop.. there are all kinds of ways to make big maps, and you can even combine methods depending on if you're working on a large city type area, or open woods and hills. You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. Please stop trying to bullshit your way through the conversation.

If I see you first, I will avoid contact and you won't even know I'm there. If you see me first and you didn't shoot me, then I will not shoot you. If I round a corner and see someone with a gun in their hand, I will will drop and roll and then double-tap you in the face. If you are unarmed, I will never shoot you. If I see you shoot someone else, and your intentions are obviously nefarious, I will kill you. (preferably before you finish killing your victim.) Apparently the bandit skins will be making a comeback soon. (according to the Machinima interview from last the other night.) If I see a bandit skin, I will shoot at it. ;) Finally if you are a sniper trolling Elektro or Cherno, I will find you and kill you. It's just a matter of time.

Everything you want to know about the current status of DayZ is in this interview: He covers hacking, stand-alone version, the current update and how it's possibly going to become 1.7.3, and lots of other stuff. Watch it, then you will have a good idea of what to expect.. Also, dogs that track animals and possibly other players, coming soon to a DayZ near you. ;)

Where are you? I'll meet you and praise you for such an awesome find. (aka kill you and take it all.) ;)

Can a mod please combine this into every other retarded whiny thread that has been posted over the past 3 months.. It's a bit silly that people feel the need to post this *every. single. day* At least keep it in the same thread where it's easier to ignore. :P

to, too, they're, there, their, your, you're.. k I feel better now.. edit: grammar and punctuation.. ;)

I wanna be a goat! Hack me, hack me! I would run through Elektro evading bullets all the way.. And whoever ended up gutting and eating me would be poisoned and become the first player controlled zombie! :D Imagine having the choice to spawn as a bird or an animal when you die.. give back the respawn button, but you have to live one life as an animal without it, before you can spawn again as a human.. I seriously want this to be a part of the game! ;) ps. If you're a bird then you can poop on people as you fly over them. Edit: My gf just said it should be made so you spawn as an animal, and you have to get to whereever you can in x minutes.. If you spawn as a bird, it would be easy, but a cow is slow as fuck so you can only get so far in that time.. You would have to avoid people, just like you do now, but at least there would be something else to shoot at, other than the poor newb running through Cherno unarmed. ;)

Awesome.. this thread has intelligent people in it! :D Here's my input: I completely agree with you on this. I've been waaaay out in a field crouch-running and agro'd a zed from 100m away, and I've also crouch-ran past another one less than 50m away without any issue.. both times in an empty field with no cover or obstacles between. I'm fine with agro'ing the zeds, but it should be much more consistant. Again, this is a great suggestion and some good points, but it's still an issue because as night falls, there seems to be a definite drop-off point where they go from being bloodhounds to nearly retarded. I love playing at night for the "creepy factor" you spoke of, but it's nice to be able to spend a solid 24 hours in the game without feeling like you're playing Castlevania 2. :P Yup, I've heard that the zeds will agro on the closest person between them and the shooter. You can use that to your advantage, but when other people do it to you, it can really work in their favour. ;) Yup.. actually it was sound and smell, but you're right.. and I really hope it eventually ends up working the way he intends because it will be amazing if it's actually working well. Yup, me too.. I really hope Zombies go back to being scary at some point.. I realize there are connection issues and other things that are priority right now, but I really am looking forward to when Rocket has the time to focus on Zed detection.. they should be just as scary as other players are currently.. if not more so. :) Edit: Wow. Lot's of replies in the time it took me to write this.. I'm loving this thread so far! Let's not let the retards take it over, ok? :)

Cool story bruh.. No seriously I mean it.. that was a pretty cool story! :) As for the map question.. even if people say they don't do it.. they do. I use it, and I've never been warned by a mod for posting it in the forums, so I can pretty safely say it's fine. If this story is true, I'll be happy to save your life for that FAL.. It's my favourite gun in the game, plus I have enough meat to bring you back up to at least 9000 blood..

For all you "Green Mountain is cursed" people.. Today was the first time I had my legs broken by a 1-hit from a zed since I started playing DayZ. Today I not only got hit, but the Morphine that I'm 99% positive was in my pack, wasn't there when I needed it. I'm assuming I simply forgot to grab some before I left Elektro, but I *never* go North with the proper supplies.. And it happened at Green Mountain. D:

I actually quit once when I was cornered in the NWAF (back when I first started) I realized afterwards that I probably had a great vantage point to take them out when they tried to come in after me. (I was in the control tower) After that I decided just to *always* let things play out no matter how one-sided they seemed, and I've managed some pretty bad ass multi-kills with just me vs. them. I've had my fair share of times when I got my ass raped too, but it's way more satisfying than alt-f4'ing and having to feel like a pussy later. Try it.. it's more fun when you get the crazy ass adrenaline rush. ;)

lol I read it all too, and I completely agree. I've posted in a few of these threads to tell the retards who are being dicks to chill the fuck out.. funny thing, I never seem to get flamed for it. Too bad too, I would love a chance to set the bastards on fire if they were stupid enough to reply. Don't worry, the community will settle down once the ADD kids get bored and leave.. then it will be much calmer around here. ;)

Need morphine (and painkillers) near Green Mountain. (West side) Is there anyone nearby who can help me please? I can trade some meat or anything other than morhine/painkillers.. lol? Any help is appreciated.

Please don't bump your threads. It kind of makes people not want to bother replying. As for the "compound" someone probably looted it before you and just left a few things behind that they didn't need. Try removing the "junk" loot from the area and placing it away from the area, then go back and stuff will probably have re-spawned. The stuff that spawns is generally military level stuff such as assault rifles and ammo.. check the loot table here: http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/Loot

Honestly, I hope Rocket decides to go back into closed testing and just invites the worthwhile testers from the past few months into closed testing. We should be grateful to even be allowed to test this mod in such an early state.. Seriously, I see a heap of whining and complaining, but not a whole hell of a lot of thank you's. Some people in this community really need to get over their bullshit sense of entitlement and realize that we're extremely lucky to be allowed this opportunity.
