Drop me a PM with anything I need to know.

Short and simple, on some military vehicles (land and air) add loudspeakers which can be set as a separate communication channel and have massively improved range and volume over standard direct comms. It'd be useful for players in helicopters mainly to communicate with people on the ground such as giving instructions to people (read holding them hostage and listing demands).

That IP is for a DayZ Origins server, not vanilla DayZ.

Mine is PillarOfCharity-Holcroft. Because me and my group wanted to become the things in DayZ that we aren't in reality, and I'm not charitable in the slightest.

Where can I find the updated files for DayZ as referenced in these changelogs? http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/103845-rolling-changelog-for-community-builds/

Ah right, fair enough. Thanks :)

I don't know what the Colorado map from WarZ is like, but I'd like to see a map with one huge (like 1/4 of the map) city and the rest just woodland or general hiding spots.

I'd like this, it'd make playing in a group much more fun

After a brief round on Google, I can't find anything to do with a pre-order (Probably because there isn't a set date). So I'm curious, do you guys think that there will be pre-orders and if there will be, do you think you should get some bonuses like skins in game or something?

Define extra content. Imo if it's just some skins or something then that's harmless. It's when they give bonus starting items it really does ruin it for other players.

These; Claiming towns: The ability for you and a few friends to save a town and then build up and make a safe town (until the zombies attack) More animation moves: Like waving or clicking or whistling Electricity: Add power to your town by connecting a power line some how to your towns generator. Electricity may be used for things like: •Charging a satellite phone (Phones can be used to call people on the other side of the map) •Making electric fences •Charging radios •Making a way to get water into your town +1 for these. I'd expand on that town claiming a little though, for example. When you've claimed a town the "increased activity" in the town means that zombies from surrounding areas are attracted to the town. This "migration" could be useful for some players, like bandits as they'd follow the zombies to somewhere where there will be a high chance of players with good gear. But it'd be a nightmare for the players that claimed the town since they'd have to fend off possibly over 200 zombies, which could be rather challenging.

I'd like this idea, not quite a base, but somewhere to call your own that would be out of reach of the zombies and better concealed from players. However, they should be very hard to build up since if you get any form of defendable camp in Day Z, you're a god amongst men imo. Obviously there would be technical limitations but with SA, new things are possible.

I give this +1. Not for the 'lore' elements, but for the tutorial elements. When this game goes SA, there will inevitably be some variation to the controls and such. A single player tutorial is something that could ease new players into the harsh reality of Day Z and teach them the [relatively] complex controls of the game, assuming they still bear some similarity to the ArmA 2 controls.

It wouldn't cost that much. People overestimate so much nowadays... They said in a release, if you can run ArmA 2, you can run ArmA 3 with little/no trouble.

Right, you seem to know enough. Assuming you can build your own PC, I'd recommend this http://www.scan.co.uk/savedbasket/e06f1777283d433999ffb081100877c4 If that confuses you, I'd recommend this http://3xs.scan.co.uk/ShowSystem.asp?SystemID=1383 These should be able to run ArmA 2 and 3 on decent settings.

Well, what's your PC like now? There could be some things that could be saved from it to reduce the cost of a new one, that is if you can build one yourself. If not, you'd be looking at around £600/£700 for a new PC from a retailer. How "PC smart" are you?

Since the latest patches (1.7.x.x) I have come across many more zombies inside lootable buildings. Since I now start with no weapon, and that shiny new gun lies inside a building, how am I supposed to get it? If I go in and get it, chances are i'll be hit and attract a few more zombies killing that one so that seems silly. What's a new player supposed to do now without a weapon? OR, am I just insanely unlucky and look in all the wrong places?

Fair enough

Love the update ^^ One bug; Poor FPS while being chased by a large crowd of zombies. (on Intel i7 2600k + GTX580, so it's not my hardware.) Another bug; Zombies seem to aggro while i'm inside a building from quite a distance outside but will rarely enter the building to get me. (Only seen this in barns so far.) One piece of criticism; This isn't specific to this hotfix but while i'm here, why no starter weapon? :( Not even a little knife :(

Any large survivor groups set up, with say a base or camp on one server? I want to play the team based side of this mod and all I come across ingame is douchebaggery -_- steam; lazlo264

Good idea, I like it! But I have one piece of criticism, what would rendering 100 or so zombies in close proximity do to some peoples computers? That wouldn't affect me personally, but I can bet some people who are playing on an old GTS 450 or similar would notice a performance hitch when encountering a horde. However, I may be wrong since i'm not too familiar with how 'taxing' this game is on hardware.

I like this idea, I always wondered why they haven't done this already.

I have no problems either, but I agree. Global stability for everybody should be high on the priority list for the devs.
