I loved the night time in the mod, the darker the better. It creates a very nice tension if it is pitch black and if there are 2 or 3 other peeps on the server.So you have to use light sources which not only looks beautiful but also puts you at risk. Sometimes I sneaked around a town like Vybor and made it shine by throwing lots of flares around. Then staying in in the shadows. Once we had a group and tried to fuel a Mi almost in the middle of Vybor. It was pitch black and only a few had NVGs. So we used chemlights to mark a trail from the fuel tank to the heli. They run back and forth the trail without seeing anything to the left and right. Two of us which had NVGs and silenced M4s guided the man which were refueling by taking loads of Zeds down. Good times.^^ Im also pretty exited of how the SA will be. Bought it yesterday but can't play it atm, due to not having my gaming rig atm. So I have to wait to next year, almost two way too long days. I also loved to fly at night. Then I sometimes flew over bigger towns like Cherno or Electro, very high of cause. Enjoyed to find a survivor because he/she throw around some flares. Not intending to be a threat, but to scare them a bit and to feel super pro.^^ NVGs are needed though. Flying a heli at night while only having a torch won't work too well, I suppose.

Imho this is a good sign, cause it probably means they made tge rest of the map considerably more interesting.

Well in my opinion we have two main groups of people. Some consider it a survival game with Zeds, for others it is a pvp fest. Well even though, combat logging isnt nice for the pvp folks, disconnecting while faceing a group of ten player hunters with big guns just is completely logical in terms of surviving. Maybe they should stopp advertising it as being a survival game?

Wouldn't it be possible to remove the damage / kill effect from the nukes? Maybe even giving a server wide health boost? >:-)

Why are people so unpatient? Don't we have the Mod to play with the time being? Too much thrill of anticipation? ;-) Looks like Santa Clause is getting into real trouble if he comes with bare hands.

Yes, that's correct. I didn't answer this question but the other one you asked earlier, that one I quoted, you know?Am I obligated to answer your questions? Also in a certain order? Well to the other one, maybe they thought you are referring to a debugger in particular? Or did you just mean *all* debugger anyway? (Then ASM might be included, if it is one.) You may try asking more precisely. ;-)

Dude, there probably work more than 3 people on it and it certainly is not the coding guy who makes the 3d models for items. So why not being thankful that the artist who are not involved with the code just do some more items which enrich the game?What do you expect? That the texture artists have to do coding stuff or sth? Hence, the more items there are to find, the more realistic will be looting.

Then you most likely are turning the volume knob on your monitor or you mistake the ammo count for being fps.

I'd bet, it's just because of compression loss of the video. Only watched it on phone, though.

Because there is no Debugger that magicaly finds and fixes all bugs. Mind, that the source code syntax can be completely legit but there still are bugs in wich happen to be there because of the context. Imagine that a writing program also doesn't correct your wrong statements, contentwise.Writing with the correct grammar and spelling does not mean that a statement is 100% correct by any means. E.g., you are planning to code a program that multiplies Number1 with Number2. So in code you write: ... result = Number1 + Number2; printf("result is: %f",result); ... Yeah result is wrong, + is not *. As easy as it seems to be, but no debugger will ever find such a bug, telling you that he read your mind and that you used the wrong operator. Well, this just was an easy example. Things can be way more complex. If it comes to thousands of lines of code... Well, you get the idea that it's not necessarily done in 30 minutes.

Nope, thats strawberry or sth. Being a modder myself I get aggro if someone says vanilla and then you see the edits. It's like saying Paris Hilton is a virgin.

Im not a big fan of server that for some reason claim to be vanilla while they are not.

Despite of fitting in the universe or not, this looks damn pretty good. Cheers to the artists. Didn't mention anything 'bout ponies... That's why you cant win this war. ;-) Well, at least, almost everyone has their weird side, you can't ban that. What's yours? Give them a vent. (Edit: as long as it fits into the games universe.)

@Gews Yeah, I see it quite similar. Realty is a bit too complex to exactly rebuild everything in a game. But I think there of cause can be some strange junk items, why not? Look at a game like Fallout New Vegas. There litteraly is a sh*tload of items. Most are usefull, many still are junk. But there hardly is anything that disturbs - as long as it fits into the games universe and lore. That this mask was more like a joke than reflecting the entire game was the first thing that came to my mind as well as I saw it first time in a video, I think.There probably will be one or two serious parts as well. I'd say it's too early to burn the whole town down just because of one item.

On the other hand, such masks do exist in real life. Sure, you wont find them every day but basically everything what exists in real life could exist in dayz as well. Or do you think it's better to ban certain items which only exist in other games but not in rl in order to keep the immersion? If they are very rare and/or if they only spawn on certain crashed halloween goods delivery planes, I personally see no problem in it.

The word "bandit" has its origins in the word "ban". Those people once were outcasted from society. It's already in the word, that they are considered bad. I'm afraid they have to deal with the chosen role. ;-)

Op, you should consider to use either 2 or 4 ram dims since they get addressed pairwise. Besides of a good core, the game needs a decent dedicated gfx card to look pretty. However, your fps still will be lower than in other games.

Dendits, short for denying being bandits? Okay, doesn't really nail it, but Allowits or Goodits just sounds even more awfull.

Sure bandits are bad. They steal my stuff, what's good in it? As long as they know they are bad, I can life with it. If they say "I'm intentionaly bad.", then great, looks like a cool roleplay thing is going on. But if they say "Don't call me 'bad'. I'm so good in doing bad things." ... there it starts to get weird.

Just wanna say that I like bigger updates better even if they take longer, since smaller frequent updates complicate the server situation. 5 minutes would truly be a mess. ^^

Maybe it should? In Battlefield there's more teamplay. At least there even are two teams and minor squads. I probably repeat myself, but I'd love to see some kind of a party management system in DayZ.

Difficult thing to leave feelings and emotions out a game which is built around immersion. Usually we call someone a dick if it somehow violates our sense of morality. So if someone considers killing another one immoral, they'll most likely call one who does so a dick or worse. This is not solely based on given rules, rather on a given morality. (Rules as well are based on a given morality.) So you can say, morality is the basement of rules and how you judge someone in regards of morals. In an environment where rules are no longer enforced, morality still exists -> therefore dicks still exist as well. But that's just based on how deep you (and your morality) are immersed into the game. Maybe some don't care about morality in DayZ because they are not as deep immersed as others?

Depends, maybe the map of Chernarus will be a little too known for providing a first time experience. But on the other hand, they changed a lot, like Items, houses, loot systems, weather and so on... There's sth new to discover. However, I hope they changed the map a bit and/or provide more maps in the future.

Well, I'm not insisting on it but one actually can call someone a dick because of their playstile. This happens every time in almost every real life team sports when someone just plays against every rule. E.g., the guy who just kills everyone on a soccer field usually is considered being a dick. (And not the one who calls him so.) That's how it always worked, in real life. Well, you can turn it around, but I really see no benefit in it. In other words: It's just wrong to worship the ones who have no sence of fair play. On the other hand, DayZ has no rules which say "killing everyone on sight is wrong". Even though, in a real life zombie scenario it definitely would. Since it would lower your chances to survive after all. And last but not least, imagine, you and your loved ones would sneak through a town in a zombie appocalypse. After finding some beans a ... just kills half of your family because, well, trigger happy finger. How would you call him? (But yeah, it's a game after all. The lack of consequences motivates us to do lots of strange things.)

Mine would be: Are there planed to be more maps than Chernarus in the future? Don't get me wrong, I like Chernarus as is, but I'd like to have some new area which I do not already know.
