This no doubt took time and effort on your part and unlike many people here you're actually designing things. Maybe take some advice from the comments and alter the design a little bit. But really good job. I thought it looked quite nice. Keep it up!

Depends on what server you are playing. Look for vehicles that you can sell for a lot of money. For example a fuel truck sells for 3 x 10oz bars. Other military vehicles sell for about one 10oz bar. A medical vodnik also sells for 3 x 10oz bars. Look for helicopters to sell. Little birds are quite valuable. However its best to play with a minimum of 2 people. That way you can take two cars, sell one and then drive around to find another vehicle to sell. If you have a helicopter dont sell it right away. Use it to scout out the area and only select high value cars like unarmed humvees, vodniks or any military vehicle (some you can sell, some you cant). Cars like BMW, Alpha romeo sell for around 5oz so they're not the best cars to sell but they might just have to do. Sometimes its just better to go into residential and markets to look for red bull, orange drink and mountain dew. they sell for around 2 or 3oz gold each. but it will take you a long time to afford a safe selling drinks. My friend and I were able to purchase a safe after about 8hrs of gameplay. The server we were on only had about 250-300 cars and a lot of people. It might take you less time though. However you have to be careful going up to Klen to purchase a safe with 120oz of gold on you. I'd only buy a safe in the morning when less people are on. We purchased a safe and about 15 seconds later a huey popped up from behind a hill and took us out. So just keep it in mind.

You need to go and collect 12 x 10z gold bars and then go to the traders and "trade metals" and select the trade 12 x 10oz Gold bars for 1 briefcase. or you could go find a briefcase, which already has 2 x 10oz bars and then get 10 more 10oz bars.

Sorry guys if this has been already explained and mentioned, I haven't been able to read the whole thread just yet, but the SA is going to be much better optimized than the DayZ mod, correct? I'm pretty sure the answer is yes since they're using a completely different engine to suit the game and I'd expect it to run better. However I'm not exactly sure if this is the case. Also is there any information regarding what loot/weapons will be found in the SA game or what has been taken out from it? or will we find out about it only once it's (SA) released? Thank you in advance.

Yes, really mate. Dayz is extremely poorly optimized and thats due to the restriction of the arma 2 engine. You've got to spawn all that crap everywhere and all the extra things that are not found in a normal arma 2 game. Hopefully the SA will be much better with the new engine.

You'll have to do a bit of homework to see which graphics cards are compatible. You could go for a GTX 560m or 6970m. You have to make sure that you dont get the most powerful graphics card otherwise you'll be bottlenecked by the CPU.

Ok. Well to be honest it is not a very powerful laptop. the GT 240m is really going to set you back. You will have to play the game on the lowest settings possible. Are you considering purchasing a new laptop?

We need a lot more information than just "alienware m17x". what generation of alienware is it? r3, r4 or r5? Most importantly what graphics card does it have? What CPU and what hard drives do you have? even SSDs can have a slight impact on gameplay. if you've got a GTX 660m or higher you will be able to run the game but not on max. maybe at around 30fps with settings at medium and some on high while post processing and other effects disabled. give us more info and we can give a more detailed reply. Edit: Have you bought the laptop already or are you looking at buying one?

Steam summer sale possibly will start in a few hours. O_O

Is there going to be a in game tutorial at all? Edit: For SA that is.

Just a question for the developers or admins. Is the DayZ team involved in working with ATI or Nvidia? Is the game going to be more optimised better for Nvidia or ATI? I'm not trying to stir up a fan war between who's better, just curious and I didn't want to create a new thread just for this question.

umm....

Nws man good luck!

What power supply do you have? what wattage? If you have around 500W it should be ok. Double check the power consumption of the graphics card, when you decide to buy one. also i did a bit of searching and you might know already about it but there are a few online stores that people say have good prices in portugal http://www.chiptec.n...at=340&pagina=0 www.nanochip.pt www.chip7.pt www.microcaos.pt www.megaloja.com.pt www.jacf.pt www.galileu.com http://www.pcdiga.com/ hope thats of any use. also if you want here's a cool little tool that might help you calculate how big of a power supply you'll need for your PC http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp
