  1. The change of pace. End game in mod, 3-4 hours then a bit of deathamatching. End game in standalone more than eight easily. No hacks from my experience. The atmosphere of night is way better. The shadows of the trees are pitch black, while you can still make out shapes on the terrain. There's still a bit to go before the alpha is clean of bugs and everything works as it should (torch beams and buildings :/ ) but for $30 and even at under 6 hours gameplay I am immensely satisfied. This is a game I think I will be playing for life.

    This game needs alcohol and instruments!

    Maybe zombies are just really drunk people trying to find your booze?

    Cant open doors?

    Thanks for the thanks bud.
  5. Axe's are definitely effective. They should 1hit most of the time. As for things like that, I'm not sure. Either rag doll which is coming soon or more animations. I imagine Rocket only wants to smooth up the game as much as possible though, keep in mind this is an alpha and stability should take priority over everything else.

    Its your version. Either the server or your client. Check if you have updated and look for the later update servers. Edit: dammit, late to the party again.

    Food/Health System

    They have that currently in the latest updates. I think it would be cool if they stuck the mods icons in its place though. They currently disappear when you aren't hungry. If you really gorge some food and water it will tell you your stomach is full and you will get bothered far less. I'm not completely sure about illness though, I haven't personally seen it. They may as well pop a fatigue one in, I find messages regarding water, food and tiredness can kind of become mixed up. At times IRL though I find I can become confused whether my stomach is feeling unwell or I'm getting hunger pains. Maybe to raise the bar of difficulty they could turn grey if you're sick or injured, maybe you will have to pay attention to what it is saying so you can say thats not right, I was full before so I must be sick D:

    I know what would be cool, people suggest books for heli's and stuff but I would kinda like sheet music for acoustic guitars and stuff. You need it to play the song, play it enough and you learn it off by heart. Perfect character value that doesn't add any unfair advantages regarding skills and such. Catch a real survivor and he might have tunes that go on for hours as he shares his story and you all get very much drunk. Lots more fun around the campfire. This is part of my ultimate plan for camps, where people would build not publicly incase they get shot but make it a public place to allow strangers to come and rest. Maybe you can meet the owners of the camp, have a good sing song. Camps and things should have things like crafting benches and tents as value which should be very tedious and tricky to steal/ destroy.

    Yep, I'm not sure what happens if you keep eating after 'my stomach feels full' throw it all up? Hehehe what fun, somebody test this for me.
  10. I like it, there might be trouble with synchronising two players animations but I don't feel we need it to match up perfectly as long as the idea can put in your head that it didn't teleport a metre and instead was given from hand to hand. Oh and you will find most of us have been waiting just as long for the standalone. I accidentally uninstalled Arma 2 half a year ago thinking I only needed OA for the mod, everyday after that the standalone was coming out tomorrow :) But since the day it was announced I was waiting. Back before the end of the year last year huehuehue, If I only knew back then.

    Food and Drink timer too short

    Yes, they probably don't know they need rests.I go full speed 24/7 (giggity) but every now and again when it says I feel tired or something I sit for a couple. I find after cramming myself full of water at a pond and cramming myself with tuna that it will say "my stomach feels full" after that I literally haven't gotten a prompt in over an hour. I have done the occasional cram as I find food I have no room for. Just don't drink sodas from nightstands, from my experience you die instantly (but when I rejoined it seems it didn't save me dying :D catastrophe averted) I still haven't died legitimately and that I'm quite proud of.

    fast food restraunts

    Fast food = American spy on a mosin nagant bayonett.
  13. Is this a known bug? Any other dangerous things to be aware of for next time?
  14. It didn't save my death I guess.
  15. False alarm, got all my stuff back :D

    But then you're on the move for longer.And you'll probably still starve.

    [SA] Bashing Cans Open

    There's so many ways to open a can. It's stupid that people die of starvation with a can of food on them. I would propose it changing the object health to damaged and loose 25% of the food. It should be possible by just having the object in your hand and punching things with it, once its damaged from melee it should be open! You should be able to shoot the can and it would be damaged or something as well.

    Compress day time

    I don't mind night. My only complaint is the light still kind of flashes when Its off and there should be an option to put a rag over the torch and sort of create a low light torch great for indoors when only a little light is needed, mostly for identifying items.

    Gear and Location Question

    Yes, all the servers are hived at the moment. Meaning when you change servers you keep all the gear from your other servers. Private hive means new spawn (fresh start) in each privately owned server. You don't know where you spawn, if you're good with maps though it ain't hard with an online map.
  23. It should be orange when you hold it over the can, if it's green it doesn't work and will just switch.So if you hold it over and it is green you need to find a knife or grab some rotten fruit and try to not die. I didn't have any trouble finding a can opener and now I have a canteen as well. The only thing I don't have is a gun... But i'm not too worried about that, I'm sure that'd get me shot.
