So-so. You have a valid point, but the best way is still to sneak up from behind an whack 'em in the back of their heads..... works every time. Or aggro and run into a tree or bush and whack em from safety. I'll assume that indoors is no problem, right?

The problem is that the kos'er is at a massive advantage, destroying game balance. refer to my previous post for a why and how to change it.

Well, one thing for instance would be that the zombies should act more zombie like. Anyone remember the walking dead, end of season two it was I think, where the little kid shot shane, and that aggroed like 900 Walkers? Anyone who has fired a gun IRL, knows that it is loud as f*ck, and the sound carries like for ever. Have that properly implemented in the SA. I wan't there to be like sleeping walkers, and only if you fire a shot, they'll get up and investigate. It shouldn't matter at what you shot, just that you shot. Every gunshot should pull at least, at very least 30 to 50 Zombies, depending on the size of the city/town. Also add an option to interact more with players. Like a "hold up" option if aiming at players close enough, which will give them an option to say no or yes, where they would put their hands behind their heads and immobilizing them. They should always have the option to leave that position though. While they are standing or kneeling like that the agressor should be able to search them (not just their backpack). This would give the "hostage" the chance to use the "leave this positon" option, and turn on the agressor. I would love to do hold ups like that, with my friend keeping a gun to their heads, so that they don't do stupid things hehe. I really belive that this should reduce KOS, because the "Kos'er" can't just shoot around in cities no more (no one can) and it would be possible to disarm players more easily. Tell me what you think! Weparo out

Well, depends. Imho, the best thing to do would be to have an "internal" release date, of which I am sure that they already have. But they are not telling us because, as mentoined above, little whiners would fill the forums again. I am very confident that rocket and his team are working with dates, but after making public the last release dates, people just complained too much and now they just keep them to themselves. Good for them! Just some patience, one day it'll just be there, released and ready for testing. Weparo out

what they said ;-)

lol, yeah it is haha

You should update and check if it's still a problem. I had a problem like that on a 1.7.7.1 server, but the admin was somehow able to fix it

ive had most servers ask for *19 but *18 worked fine for me too good question tho

I think it's awesome!

I have to say, GB, (Soviet)Russia and northern USA + Canada would all be great. But please not something like Altis / greece or any jungle. GB is probably my favorite atm. And let's not have gunlaws ruin the location. I'm all for realism and authenticity & what not, but laws...? pff. Made to be broke imho.

I was expecting a huge rant, lol. I liked your writing a lot, as I enjoy reading about other peoples stories and adventures in a "educaded" way. not the "I saw a guy. I went up the ladder to check. I saw another guy. I shot him" kind of way. I think you have one or two typos in there though, but nice work anyways!

Hi there, thank you for the opportunity to ask about it. Although I already play DayZ (on a 2.3 quadcore w/ 4GB of DDR2 LOL) I want to build me a decent rig using some of my old parts (to save money) So here is what I want to build. Desktop Screen resolution: Full HD (already own) CPU: i5 4670K Graphics card: Radeon HD 6850 1GB (already own) RAM: 2x4 GB DDR3 SSD? Yes (already own) As for budget... I figured like 200 for the 4670k, around 100 for the motherboard and the ram is like 80 bucks. I'm aiming for around 500 to 550 max. So here are some thoughts / things I'm not sure about. ========================================= #1 CPU : I was going to go for a i5 3570K, but suposedly the 1155 socket it uses is at it's end of life cycle, as opposed to the 1150 the 4670K uses. Is that true? I just want to keep my options for an upgrade open. #2 Motherboard : Not really sure what to look at, aside from the neccecary (1150 socket, ddr3 ram) usb3.0 and the latest sata 'd be nice (sata 3?) #3 Powersupply : No clue at all. specs say the cpu uses about 80W and I'll just asume the same for the gpu, + 20% makes about 200W, plus other parts makes 250W. Pretty sure I can't run my rig on a 250W supply. But I really have no clue. This link should redict to my amazon whishlist, containing most parts. http://www.amazon.de/registry/wishlist/1CE0ZIZCNMDBF Thanks, Weparo out

Well of course he can play, if he feels like it. IF he already has a rig all set up. "Hurr Durr, I just lost my job, leaz buy a $500 or $600 PC" <- Problem. I still think he should do something else, because if your future employer asks you what you did the last few weeks/months, saying "I played videogames" isn't a good comeback. Be assured though, if no social services financed by my taxes were available for him, I wouldn't care at all.

Kay, this is not on topic, but still: IF YOU LOST YOUR JOB DON'T BUY A FUCKING PC AND/OR GAME!!!!! I whish that they'd ban people like you from social security / services. Get a job. THEN a PC/game. How is this not comon sense?!? To answer the question: When you get a job and the SA is not out yet, buy the arma package & get the addon, you will get a better idea about Dayz, and what it's all about, that is if the rampant KoS doesn't turn you off too much. Use Dayz commander, it offers many other dayz spinoffs, with many great ideas and different maps, vehicles & weapons.

^Thanks for the update rocket!

I came from there, trust me i could tell the difference right away. also, warz is basically just the dayz mod for war inc. just shittier. waaaaaaaaay shittier

No, as far as i've read and heard, the SA uses a mmo-engine, whereas the arma3 engine is more of a fps engine

Ha, don't worry, I can confirm that. It's been a year since i came back from the US, i was there a whole year. I'm actually considering immigration (I don't give a fuck about this "end of usa coming" bs), but sometimes i just feel like smashing some ppl against the wall. Especially if they give the rest a bad name ;-) Back on topic: I guess it's not gonna be a devblog for friday..... At least not a europeean one, maybe he will post it at the end of friday (us time)

see, this is why there is so much anitamericanism and many prejudices. Start thinking out side of the "US-Bubble" You guys are less than 5% of the global population, yet think that everybody will accept your standarts. Try beeing more down-to-earth, or what ever it's called

Aw man, sorry to hear that, but I think the difference between the Czech vest pouch and the assault pack (both have 12 slots) is that the Czech vest pouch can't fit any weapon, unlike the assault pack.

too much depth imho. I like the idea of having spoiled food and / or making it more "durable". Using salt to increase its shelf value for instance

It's always the same, everbody has a story, but no one a vid. The thing with the holy books would be cool, they should implement in the SA

Play on an official server, they are connected to the hive

Holy crap, that is really cool! And well done too. I'm looking forward to more episodes!

I think he means the play syle. Not what kind of weapon you use. It's ok to shoot a guy randomly for loot with a chance for him to fight back. It's not ok to kill a guy from one click away for the lutz, and let all of his gear dissapear. At least that's what i heard. Kind of agree there, killing just for the kills sake is just anoying. Destroying a players whole "work" (multiple played hours) just for the kill is just... wrong? I dunno, i just don't like it I guess.
