Hmm, It seems although the infected seem to spot you a little easier they are also easier to loose. Had two on my tail, While running i zig-zag'd around some buildings & walls, Lost them pretty easily, Didn't even have to run into a building, Loving this new test patch so far .... Just gonna take a couple of days to judge how far i can push it before i aggro the infected. As far as i can tell the infected don't seem to zig-zag no where near as much while chasing you either, Their animations seem much more fluid.

See my sig, May help.

Oh and something else that usually helps me find good servers, When in in multiplayer lobby right down the bottom of your screen you can see a "Filter" tab, Click this, In the "Host:" box type "DayZ" .... Set your "Max. Ping:" so something like 100 or 150(i use 150)& set "Passworded:" to "Hide" then click OK. This will bring up only DayZ servers with a ping below whatever you set in the filter & no passworded servers will show.

I just posted this in a different section. Look, Download the v1.7.2.1 test patch, Place the here, In my case its > D:\Game Installs\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\@DayZ\addons ...

Well although i just lost all my gear to try this new patch out i must say i don't mind, I knew what to expect. As for DayZ, It just seems much more fluid ... Smooth & logging in is lightning quick BUT Just broke my leg :( Ended up in shock, In pain & bleeding just from stepping over a tank trap in a doorway. Luckily i was right near a hospital in Cherno so managed to crawl to get me 5 morphine, Took some pain killers and ate plenty of meat to restore the blood. Pretty happy so far.

Sweet, Gonna give this a whirl. :)

How are some of you guys playing the 1.7.2.1 patch? ... Where can i get this?

Hmm, I read that zombies can run inside buildings now, I have yet too see this. Also I'm not normally one to complain about zombies but man they can see for miles, I started a fresh char as I always do with new update releases, I spawned stood up on a beach, there was a zombie maybe 100 meters away....... I hadn't even moved yet and he was already running over. We should at least spawn prone.

Some people ain't as computer literate as others BUT i do agree, I much prefer to install manually ... Mind when i first started to play dayz there was no 3rd party programs to help.

In the debug monitor there's a new text called "Visual" Does anybody know exactly that this means?

WoHoooo! :D

Your char will probably be wiped eventually anyway, EVERY game ive ever played after alpha/beta is done and the full, Finished game is soon to be released ALL stats/chars get reset.

Sweet.

From Twitter. The central node has been down again for the last few hours due to the attacks. It is ongoing we're working to fix it as soon as we can.

Last night me & a friend was traveling up north, He had a hatchet & M1911 pistol, I had just a AKM rifle. Obviously my AKM makes a hell of a sound so we where saving that for an emergency(bandits or mass hoards of infected), We where heading up north hitting the small town & villages for loot on the way. We managed to avoid/sneak past 95% of the infected we encountered, My friend was picking off single zombies with the hatchet that did aggro, We couldn't sneak past or they where in buildings we wanted/needed to loot. Because i have camo gear on i was sneaking into a good advantage point and my friend was then sneaking into buildings and looting while i stayed back in the shrubs keeping watch. Oh, I got a little carried away there lol. I guess my point is ..... Hatchets are awesome.

Whats gonna be funny is all these people that are disconnecting upon any kind of threat are gonna be fucked when Rocket releases some kind of fix for it.

:D I get where your coming from, but it annoys me that people think i dont have a right to an opinion as to what im entitiled to or not, its all speculation, not grab the pitchforks and go burn him at the stake. You have as much right to an opinion here as anybody else, Opinions may not match but hey ..... Such is life. :) see an agreement has formed. =D Don't think i wont pop a cap in yo ass lol. :D

I think you will find the thread is called "Pending Update: Build 1.7.2" ... Nothing about asking questions or giving answers. I see it right in the title. a thread about information on the pending update. If it was meant for no discussion it would of been locked when it was created. Side note' date=' isint it ironic that Arma III was supposed to be spring 2012 and its now summer with no information and noone seems to care? lmao [/quote'] People are bringing up all kinds of laws, Demanding this, Demanding that .. Thinking that Rocket owes us something ... It just annoys me that people are here complaining about a free mod. Have some patients.

The UCC is legally binding in the United States, and if their product is sold at retailers in the United States they are bound to the UCC. And BI has been piggybacking this press with promotions FOR DayZ, like the 25% off sale they are having. Jesus Christ! ...

they dont have to make it public what their employees responsibilities are. and universal contract code is not legally binding. its a code. more of a suggestion than a law. and like i said, it doesnt exist here, so its irrelevant. and a mod in alpha state is not officially publicly released, so its still private property. for this reason, and others, the "ucc" is invalid in this case. read a book.

Check the UCC then tell me im uneducated, If he is employed by BI to make the mod for their game, and BI is implying that DAYZ is able to be played if you buy Arma II, and they have, they are legally liable for false advertising under the Universal Contract Code many countrys adopted. they dont have to make it public what their employees responsibilities are. and universal contract code is not legally binding. its a code. more of a suggestion than a law. and like i said, it doesnt exist here, so its irrelevant. and a mod in alpha state is not officially publicly released, so its still private property. for this reason, and others, the "ucc" is invalid in this case. read a book.

Lame thread!
