Those of you looking for people for your private servers, please take a look in here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/82374-have-a-private-serverlooking-for-private-server-in-here/ This thread is going to server general.

Please post these threads in off-topic. Moved. EDIT: Update. There's a 'private hive' subforum now. We are there. Great.

I have a question: If 'shoot on sight' is not allowed, how do people end up killing each other? Do they have to exchange words first? Is there a secret handshake? EDIT: I'm not trying to be snarky, I ask because I am interested.

Duplicate threads merged, no crossposting please.

Let's go to off-topic. Moved.

Since Rocket won't come to the forums, the forums shall come to Rocket. A week ago (yes, I am slow) he made a thread called 'What features do you most want in DayZ?' over on reddit. I have compiled his responses from that thread and added them to the bottom of the OP in this one. I have put them in a Q&A format though some of the comments aren't really questions. I hope it will be an enlightening read.

When standalone first comes out, it will not be polished. It will be alpha. Lucky for you, bying it will be optional. Later on, a final polished version will be released at full price. Locked.

Moved to Gallery.

Hi. This thread can not be replied to, do not try to reply anyway using the 'report' button. It is getting really annoying.

Read stickies. Locked.

Moved to cheat reporting as per request.

I'm not an expert, but I think that when they decide to post an update, they will post to the whole forum in general and not to you specifically. Thus, there is no need for this thread. Locked.

I'll put this in the troubleshooting forum, you'll find more help there. Moved.

Hey Tetsuo. I will Copy/paste that quote and use it every time someone makes a thread like this one. Thanks. No, you won't get any royalties, life's a bitch. Locked.

Hi. Could you include server settings like Crosshair and 3DP in your description?

Merged.

You really can't develop a game around the fact that people are hacking. When the standalone comes the scripters can be dealt with and more features implemented.

Rocket has clearly stated that this will never happen. If players want a safe space, they'll have to enforce the peace themselves.

I would just like to point out that in this case 'in Full Production' means that Dean, Matt and Marek are working on the code. I would also like them to post on the forums, but there is limited time available in a day, and no matter what they do people will complain.

You get full control of the engine and you don't have to worry about breaking Arma or other Arma mods.

I don't think there should be places where weapons can't be fired, but I'm all for giving people incentives for not doing so. As for currency, it wouldn't work without a power structure such as a state or large group of armed npc's who will vouch for the currency's value. If you take a look at a bank note you'll see that it is actually an IOU, it has no value in itself. There has to be someone you trust saying they owe you the printed value of the note for it to be worth anything. Gold would not be worth much in an apocalyptic society as the need for jewellery would be fairly low compared to the need for survival. Disagreeing with you is not the same as going 'wahh wahh wahhh'.

Rocket said it will come out in November. That's the alpha-release, not the full thing of course.
