I'd give you my beans, but I think you've had enough!

Got any blondes?

Me too. Those spawns are fine. Make it anywhere along the coast up to about Berez and 1km inland.

I agree, you definitely need to make it 1st person only if you want the server to function correctly. I think you will get plenty of interest in it even with everything set to "hard". I've actually been quite bored of DayZ lately... been playing Lingor, but that's even worse in some ways, you can have a car and 5 top tier weapons in one session... then what? This server might add a bit of the stress back to the game, which is what made it great in the first place. The only other issue for me personally is the unreliability of tents/vehicles saving etc. I don't like to build up massive camps or hoard vehicles, but I do like to have one or two tents in different locations with medical supplies or ammo or something, but the state of the game makes it a little hard to do this. But obviously this isn't your fault and the devs are the only ones who can fix this. I'm not really expecting a fix until standalone tbh, but maybe then, depending on how they want to set things up, admins may have a bit more control over their servers, and this server of yours could start up running the standalone with basically the same rules you want to put in place.... or I would hope so anyway. The way you plan to set it up sounds pretty good and it sounds like it would work pretty well. Also, I agree with RpG above, I don't think most people would have messed with their FOV before, but if you're going to be playing first person you NEED to change it, the default is simply quite shit. It's amazing once altered correctly. EDIT: As part of this server, I would have a list of new FOV values for people to put into their config files depending on their resolution. That way everyone can get an enhanced experience much more easily.

Yeah, I kind of agree with Kyzahh about the 1st person... It's not that I want third person, I just don't like the first person very much, and I've tried it for quite a few hours. Other than that it sounds pretty awesome and I'm sure you'd get lots of interest if you could keep any potential hacking under control, as that is what is getting to most people at the moment. If it's good enough, I would consider just dealing with the first person issue and playing it anyway.

OMG, Guys. Post apocalyptic zombie game with a release date at "the end of 2012".... What if the standalone is real life.... http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/263/430/3a0.jpg

I think the more relevant point to note is that with it being standalone, they can make the game itself a shitload less susceptible to cheating/hacking in the first place. That alone will get rid of the majority of issues. Unfortunately ARMA2 is pretty made made for hacking/scripting/customisation, whatever you want to call it.

I had like 2500, logged back in with -350.... who knows o.O

lol

I would try getting buying the full versions of everything.

Damn, sounds pretty good, but I will probably exceed the ping limit here in New Zealand. Unfortunately NZ servers seem to be some of the worst hit by hackers.

See above. Lingor is kind of cool, but nothing beats Chernarus.

Because the average survival time was probably about 5 mins lol.... but seriously, getting the damn thing running was hard enough, but the worst part came when trying to get into a server. Tried for half an hour and finally found one? You were one of the LUCKY ONES lol. Don't even get me started on the shit that went on when you finally got into a game after all that effort :P

Haha back in my day you wouldn't have lasted 5 mins ;)

If you have to ask, then the answer is NO. Apart from this case, in which the answer is yes :P It looks pretty mean dude, I would wonder how much shitter a "discrete" 4 GB graphics card is compared to a proper PC one. Possibly not much shitter at all, I dunno. Looks like it would be fine. I have a i7 in my pc and it can run everything on max with about 20-30 frames. Turn off a couple of the non important settings that eat fps and it jumps up to 80+.

...you're a monster... no don't touch me!! get away from me :(

There would also be condoms, tampons and double ended drilldos in shops and houses if I know anything about Europe, but I'm not seeing those anywhere... so it's not a great argument in response to OP :P I actually like the idea, but as you said, most people will probably hate it.

simple great idea

But it's not supposed to be realistic.... also, zombies! :D

Just download the correct files for lingor island, then every server in the list will be a private hive :)

M9SD now, before the nerf, the 1911

Where would you draw the line though? You said you want the most real game someone can make. You want to be able to take a dump? Masturbate? If you went into the medical side of things, how many diseases would you have? All of them? Not trying to troll, just seriously wondering where the line would be drawn in the ideal game. It's kind of impossible to include everything.

Would cost too much to develop. By the time it was done you'd be nearing retirement and be too old to give two fifths of fuck all anymore :D

*taps foot*

Did u try doing it manually?
