As promising as visits to the media may sound to you right now you need to understand that they don't sound as promising to the people actually playing the game. What the interviews don't say is that everything you and the interviewer spoke about only hold true for the standalone that has yet to be released. God forbid one of the interviewers attempts playing the game on his/her own time and realizes that what you two were talking about were more like concepts than the current state of things. That said I really dont mind you going off to show off dayz (what there is to currently show off) and talk about the project with the media. I really dont. What I DO mind is you deciding to leave right after you release a patch that makes the game essentially unplayable. Perhaps this was unavoidable, perhaps it wasn't. I'm sure the amount of the community vocal about the current state of the game would have been halved or more JUST if the graphical glitches had been fixed before 'interview season' started. A small hotfix, hell even a reversion. Most of the people here just want to play the damn game and don't care about fixing humanity/sickness etc. or adding dogs. They just want to play.

I apologize if I was a bit too without tact but the fact remains that this game has been nigh unplayable for a long time now, for what seems like a simple reason. There are horrid graphical glitches and everyone knows and has known where they come from. These should have been hotfixed first thing, rather than let the community stew in a game where the zones with the most heated action simply cannot be played in. Again I apologize if I don't understand the scope of these issues but a simple, reassuring forum post would clear all that up and make the community feel better. This is something I know at least me and several of my friends could use. I've listened to interviews with rocket but they dont answer the question I want answered: What is being done and when can it be expected? Best case scenario: 1.7.2.5.1 tomorrow fixing the damned graphical glitches so I can actually play your game. I dont expect much to be done soon since the maker of the game feels it's more important to pimp his broken game at conventions than actually fix it.

I'd vote but I feel the game has been abandoned. Can't even hotfix horrible graphical glitches that make some of the best zones for encounters unplayable. Not a word from rocket on anything in a month. And you want us to vote for you on some videogame website? Ill vote when your game is playable again.

Ohh yeah you're those blurry ass pieces of shit that HE KNOWS 99.5% of the players coming into this game are going to have look WAY better than the ones already in arma II and operation arrowhead. Right. The player models that the OP posted don't even come close to demonstrating how awesome the models look in arma II in OA. Go play normal operation arrowhead sometime and get back to me. There'd be awesome replacements for soldier clothing, camo clothing, bandits and civilians, we'd just be missing ghillies.

Embarassing.

The biggest thing that pisses me off is that rocket insist on using models that are in the BAF and PMC expansions when so many perfect models for say the bandit are already in arma II. It positively SCREAMS that he just wants people to buy fucking crappy expansions (and give the company he works for money) just to get their hands on some high res models. It's almost like purchasable content from a bad free to play game. Makes me sick.

Haha my group and I meet hackers every. single. day. Tonight it was some invincible guys that my friend met, a guy teleporting behind me and killing me, and my friend getting thunderdomed later. Oh yeah and earlier in the day an invisible guy satchel charging elektro.

does he actually hack or just get beaten up by zombs?

This game needs a heavy flamer.

I played on a server that still had side chat enabled a few weeks ago after playing without side chat for the longest time it seems. It was the most fun I've had playing dayz that I can remember. Hope more servers decide to bring it back.

dont worry too much about it, scripted guns will soon disappear. I think upon logout and login.

The end game is boring. If you're an uncreative twat! My friends and I usually come up with stuff devious but fun enough to even keep our victims entertained. Watch that video. Our dumb asses almost get our v3s stolen lol

More helis at this point I think would be a bad idea. What SHOULD happen however is more spawn points being added! Right now everyone and their mother is server hopping to that damn island and its getting really annoying. Why only have one spawn point??

this is going to be a completely different game from dayz. More arcadey. more, dare i say, casual.

Ive been in the same situation. Didn't get banned but don't expect to have the weapon for too long. It disappeared the next time i logged in. Look at all these people acting like they know something lol

It is absolutely hilarious that you think seven .45 caliber rounds to the chest would not stop someone coming at you with a hatchet. Even if not even one round penetrated they'd be gasping for air as the impacts would knock the wind out of them and have them flat on their back. The assailant wouldn't know whether the shots had penetrated or not.

Does rocket get a cent of that $24 directly? Nope. For the last time, DayZ is free. Arma 2 CO is not.

Most people know who the yogscast are. Couple of british dudes essentially famous for their minecraft videos. Well recently they started a dayZ series. Cool stuff! This should introduce a lot of new people to dayZ! What ISN'T cool is how they are going about their series. Playing like idiots and only living because of a geared-to-hell guardian angel with spawned in gear? Mocking the controls calling them "retarded" because of their own shortcomings? Spawning in several vehicles? Playing on a locked server with only 7 people? Is that really the message you want to send to a prospective new day z player? What kind of deal did you guys make with the yogscast? Why let them play on a private server and spawn in gear and let them call THAT actually playing dayZ if you already had 450,000 people that had played the game? Its not like you needed the publicity. The rocket/totalbiscuit interview was WAY better than this series is turning out to be. Heres a link to the first video for those that haven't seen the series.

Relax pal I love the yogscast, been subbed to them for around a year now. This is like the first series by them i've actively disagree'd with.

you spent 30-60 minutes securing a barn?

christ all of you got trolled hard

I prefer the revolver any day. Maybe its just me but I've had a lot more trouble with the revolver irons than i've had with the 1911 irons. The revolver is also a lot quieter than most people think and wont aggro past 50 meters. It also seems like the revolver hits harder than the 1911 but that also might have just been a bad night on my part.

Anyone hating on the OP's suggestion because they're too hardcore for his ideals is an idiot. Not only would his change make it so people vulnerable to motion sickness wouldn't become violently ill just by playing the damn game it would also make it so you cant negate the affects of needing painkillers just by going into third person. Use your goddamn brains haters.

Are you implying that if the OP's suggested change went through that farming would somehow be easier? The only difference I see is forcing someone to walk 1500m if they want loot. This makes solo farming impossible and makes organized server hop farming extremely risky for the person running between spawn points. Besides where the hell is the runner actually going? I don't think the two barracks at NWAF are even 1500m apart. What two points are actually being farmed in this '2 server farming technique'. Elaborate.
