Can't wait for new status report :) gimme moar ploX .

I'm pretty sure islands were talked about a while ago :) ... If islands were implemented people wouldn't all have to crowd into the northern forests they could head for the eastern or southern islands :) in my Opinion that would solve a lot of this "deforestation angst" ... At the same time they added those towns sinistok , toploniki, ratnoe, zaprudoe, AND vavilovo and I hardly noticed until just this week lol ... Also that same dev tracker said that they will be adding 4 more "unique locations" and more so hopefully this will include awesome locations like the shipwreck and such ... So hopefully the vast forest that's about 10km squared in between grishino and dubrovka doesn't disappear because then I will have to agree but for now it still seems pretty foresty , although like I said if these new towns are in certain spots I'll have to concur in saying that there will be no true "great forests" anymore just short stretches of woods in between all towns.

Lol yes it is ... C'mon guys don't get so butthurt over sniper rifles , he never said they weren't ever going to add them , he said their focus was to get away from that and that the weapon list leading up to the 1.0 full release is pretty tame but that's no indication of what they will add after (and I'm sure it will come in the form of free patches , not purchasable dlc so all of us will eventually have "awesome leet sniperz" even though all you really need is a moisin any ways =P ). And for people who only care about snipes please stick with arma 3 because a survival simulator is not for you if you're ready to throw away the whole game simply because a high powered sniper won't be added (although Svd is being added , not so "high power" but it IS more variety). Give hope a chance ploxorz ?

Good job mate !! I love hearing stories of the braver bandits robbing people , because I hate KOS and all that shit so whenever I play bandit I do it like you and just rob people .. It really does work more than half the time and is a great way to keep others from hating this game because of the KOS lol .

Hmmm don't you think changing major physics aspects like that would be counter intuitive while trying to swap for a new renderer and engine ? :0 although it's not the best time for stuff like that in alpha , I hardly think that they would leave vehicles and glass windows invincible for the 1.0 release , that's a huge thing that they can make strides on from the mod and if I remember correctly theyre switching the engine/renderer to break free of the engine limitations of the rv engine or whatever it was called so im assuming (very boldly) that well have stuff like this at least for the 1.0 release :) !

Item degradation has been talked about since the start of alpha , it basically makes it so useless untouched items degrade after a certain amount of hours it will definitely make an appearance soon but im sure respawning mechanics need to be touched up a bit more .

Let's just all get along and please watch this vine ? ^^^^^^^ 7 up Had an awesome time on experimental last night me and three friends tried to get a farming operation going in Svetlo and ended up meeting 3 bandits , my two cousins got killed on seperate occasions but both in Svetlo and both by different deuche bags with a shotgun ... Although both of those bandits lives ceased to exist via the business end of my bakail mp-133 , I still felt slightly annoyed because we hadn't been paying good enough attention ... But the night went on we saw plenty of respawning loot despite everyone's worries that loot only respawns in certain areas , It was respawning all over in Svetlo and we only left once for about an hour to go to novo to get one of us back after dying .. The server was also 50/50 :0! Finally at the end of the night , one of my friend Says he's suddenly gone unconcious in one of the piano houses near the Svetlo docks .. I rush to his LKP immediately and notice a sneaky man bleeding from a zombie attack .. Not putting the pieces together right away I ask if he needs bandaging and start to walk towards him , but in the brief moments it takes to get over to him I suddenly realize this man is the reason as to why Ster comma Lau , our bandit friend, went unconcious ... The great sledgehammer the kid was wielding on his back was used to bludgeon my buddy in the back of the head .. So I decide to let him know how it feels as I sledge him with my own , twice in the dome .. The bandit runs ,bleeding ,away from me .. He eluded us for about 15 minutes by playing hide and seek but my buddy chads "seeking" skills were far too adept as he opens one of the closed containers in the backyard of the Svetlo office buildings and reveals our sneaky bandit ... Too bad he couldn't hear the 6 rounds of 12 gauge I unloaded into all of his shitty gear he had stolen from unconcious defensless players ... To all the crappy bandits out there : don't even try , Grapefruit always gets ya .. So all in all a great night , I slew 3 men with my trusty shotgun , all in defense of the group so I feel good about that :) .

Yes I would like epoch to stay FAR AWAY from standalone please :) ... Standalone is a completely different idea than epoch ... It's like this , dayz standalone is what would really happen if only a few thousand people could survive a Zombie virus , the natural dangers of the world would become even more dangerous , people wouldn't trust each other although there are still groups working together, there is NO AI besides zombies and animals, this is the realistic view of the end of days and more so enjoyable for a video game (in my opinion) ... but Epoch , epoch is more like the retarded cousin of the realistic apocalypse : everything went to shit yet everyone is still acting as though nothing happened with invincible safe zones accommodating large groups of clans playing the trader merchant role who's true intention is to find every damn vehicle on the map and sell it at a high price to the Ai merchants so no one new to the game can find one lol ... Epoch , having played the original and the new arma 3 epoch , is no where near the experience dayz sa is at ... Even the KOS is worse seeing as you can't tell people to raise their hands and you can't even restrain people as far as I know , and Believe it or not those two things really help eliminate KOS for the people who are merciful and end up getting the jump on another .. Overall I can't wait for standalone to have vehicles and work out the kinks of the loot respawning and zombies , because that's all this game needs to be the best seeing as like many have said already , the mods like epoch and breaking point are incredibly Buggy (with less intention to be fixed seeing as they are based off of an engine they can't screw with and fix , unlike dayz standalone) and very clunky in terms of controls (inventory controls too military based you can't even choose your outfit head to toe you have to find premade ones) and on top of that your character feels too swift in epoch , it's like you aren't carrying any weight and your guy is Rambo lol , just lots of little things add up to an unrealistic and non - immersive anti- survival setting that at the end of the day , is ONLY fun if you have Friends playing with you and have the off chance of finding one of the 65 vehicles on the map that's roughly 4 times bigger than chernarus !

I will check for you when I go on experimental today in a couple of hours ... I've been wondering this too , and you are right some people don't bother to try it and just assume we're crazy and we don't know about the "short time frame" before it's burnt .. I can't wait for these gas stoves to work properly .. But any ways I'll check today when I get a frying pan / cooking pot .

Lol next time don't try and pitch it inside ! I noticed you said the tent didn't like going downstairs ... If you kept it in your hands you could have brought it downstairs and pitched it outside silly mo-trucking goose ! But if you pitched outside and it disappeared it's probably just afraid of your generally awesome knowledge of sarcasm ? =P Also I think storing tents in backpacks is just a myth , or so that's what my experience tells me , everytime I find a tent I can't store it in my backpack just in my hands ...

Green bell pepper. :) if you kill me you'll always find green bell peppers all over my inventory :) happy hunting ladZ ! ;)

Yes yes yes !! So fucking awesome ... If you guys are avoiding this link you best not it has to do with vehicles !! :)

Don't lose your hope Dave , I roll with a group of four occassiaonally if I'm not lone wolfing it , and i always find friendlies ... You just have to "force them into friendlieness" so to speak by getting the jump on them while having your weapon out and then turn the conversation freindly when you know he's not a blood craving maniac lol .. But I love your idea , i honestly have to say though my group would rather do this at Zelenogorsk like someone suggested earlier as it is farther from the spawn points and for me and my groups experience, is more friendly because of that ... As long as we survivors don't mess with the northwest airfield too much I'm sure we can make this work .. I live in the us east coast so generally I can do any server but the aus/signapore/de servers... So if you establish a good server for the first experiment to take place , and also re edit your first post redefining the "safe areas" where we all should meet , and when (it should be at certain time frames of the day so we can organize a bit , but like 3 different times a day for a week or so so we can nail all time zones , the most dedicated ones could try and attend all three during one day to fill in all new comers as to what these "safe" zones are all about). But I again like to speak my opinion and say I think these zones should be based out of Zelenogorsk or towns similar , ones that are far away from spawns so at least we don't get a bunch of bored fresh spawns attacking us , just the geared bandits that are to be expected anyways .

Dayz SA: been pwning since decemeber '13.. But it seems to affect a very small minority in this way , I've never died of hypothermia except for when .49 was on experimental I believe , no one could keep warm cuz axes , matches , and food were so scarce and i believe it was set to winter months ... But now the only ones dying of hypotermia seem to be the ones that are glitched and can't warm up by the fire . It's gotta be a location / server glitch but also like others have said make sure your clothing is pristine and that you wring out your wet clothes when they get wet , also hoodies even when pristine don't seem to warm people up for shit lol

Yes I can't wait until horticulture/farming is expanded , all of chernarus should be plantable , the cows should be "milkable", chickens popping out those eggs .... But in my opinion like everyone else has said the timer for growing plants and chickens laying eggs should be increased , but I don't believe it should be any more than let's say 12 real hours to grow a full plant , and I'm not even sure if 12 sounds like too much or too little but well see soon . Also I would love to eventually see somehow , solar (gas? If it's safe for plants) heaters and grow lights so we can grow indoors just in case our base is smack dab in the middle of the city and it's too dangerous to be farming outside all the time ... It sounds far fetched so I wonder if it would fit in the world of dayz lol... Also I hope we eventually can get animals we've domesticated to mate and have more animals ... Imagine nursing a pregnant cow for 2 weeks straight lol , logging on 2-3 times a day and spending a few hours with old Bessie to see if she needs anything haha so awesome .

In my opinion breaking point and epoch have nothing on dayz standalone ... I ran for 3 hours straight in breaking point not having to eat or drink ONCE( and despite being in a DESERT I never once got hot , never once got cold , this is NOT a survival game more like a fucking dog barking, unrealistic desert walking simulator). I didn't see one vehicle in it's spawn position (went all the way through the ENTIRE south east island , no vehicle spawns to be found nothing but ugly wastelands that all look the same ... I don't even wanna mention the pathetic RPG-like class system , I mean why the hell would a game all about sandbox survival make it so we have to choose a certain class essentially locking our choices to "who do we kill to get the most points ?".. It's unrealistic and incredibly stupid and it really ruins the game ). Also the damn game is RIDDLED with annoying bugs and nuisances because it's a mod ... You have to stop when looking into backpacks , zombies walk straight through walls ALL the time , not just half the time like dayz ,you don't even get to dress yourself in custom clothing you have to pick up whole outfits like in dayz mod and they are very rare ... and you certainly don't have the option to store items in pockets and they aren't even working on these problems like the dayz staff is (zombie clipping problem Mostly) ... If you truly think breaking point is better than dayz standalone I'm guessing you're one of those people who ONLY care about being able to find a car (which in this game breaking point, all the deuchbag clans hide the cars in ridiculous spots and there is no "vehicle degradation" or reset like there will be in dayz as to make sure these idiot clans don't hide all the cars on the map and forget about them... only 65 vehicles on a map that's 4 times bigger than chernarus ? That's a joke)... And it's all for "balance" simply because they terribly unbalanced the game with the crappy class system that makes people kill anyone for POINTS lawl. So yes breaking point has vehicles , will you ever find one in that unnecessarily large empty wasteland , maybe. but will you ever have a truly detail oriented , realistic survival experience in this game complete with both friendly and non friendly stranger encounters ? No you will not , ever. Simply because this game breaking point decided to go down the same road dayz mod did : rely on the fact that it has vehicles and lots of zombies to impress people when in all actuality the REAL things that impress people are being able to mirror an actual challenging survival experience while also focusing on making the player choose his own story and not some stupid "ranger or hunter" class to determine his ultimate destiny .. Overall if you like being told who you can kill and who you can't kill, and if you like walking the distances of 4 chernaruses put together only to find one vehicle that's been stashed in a locked garage (which there is no way to break into a locked house real smart of the developers to help out deuchebag clans even more so by making their car garages impenetrable) so that you can never get it , then by all means purchase breaking point ... Although if you actually care for a challenging (going to be soon) well balanced game that balances human interaction (in this game it's not all KOS like in breaking point) with long lonesome stretches Of trying to forage off the land for survival then stick with dayz standalone , you will honestly not find a better game at creating an exciting, challenging, post apocalyptic zombie wasteland than this , and for those that just hate this game because of the way it's getting balanced at the moment : chill out and wait three more months and come back in beta I guarantee you will prefer this game over those freaking mods any day ... Oh and I prefer dayz standalones graphics over the cheesy looking graphics from breaking point/arma 3 any day , arma 3 and breaking point although they look beautiful , can look very "cartoony" especially when looking at your characters hands :( ! So long story short , wait for dayz standalone to get vehicles and fix their zombies because overall dayz presets a MUCH BETTER survival experience than any of these ridiculous mods out there ... Yes it's great to see vehicles in a zombie game with tons of zombies but take it from someone who was greatly disappointed by breaking point because of it's many nuisances and imbalances : breaking point and epoch are NOT worth the 60$ it takes to purchase Arma 3 , if you're interested in arma 3 buy it but please don't make the mistake like me of buying arma 3 solely for breaking point because it's nothing like the detail oriented survival feel of dayz standalone ....

Please do this again for tonight ? I didn't see this post til now ... :( everyone has Halloween parties on November first why not right :) ?

I'll Christmas ceasefire :) I'm strong enough to enjoy the holidays and not fight back for one day :) !

If you have an akm and ammo on first person experimental I'll definitely play ;) just haven't played stable in weeks lol ...

You can stay alive while helping people you just have to be extra cautious and like nettles said , never turn your back on them never help someone alone (unless you're lone wolfing) and never give the "trusted stranger" a weapon ! It's not as impossible as many like to believe !!

Ooh if that's what modular inventory is then I'm all for it :) ...

Happy Halloween everybody :) did you all forget ? ;)

I love this new experimental , I noticed you can easily walk out of the elevator shafts that are in those apartment buildings that tents spawn in, now looking for tents is a sinch seeing as I never have to glitch out of the bottom anymore ... Overall loving .50 especially this latest iteration I can't wait for it to go stable , I have yet to find the derringer or the two new aks but I've found the ammo for them , brass knuckles (which I keep as a backup melee ONLY for interrogating bandits , they are golden :) )

I do too , I liked the old inventory and didn't mind scrolling through it ... well just have to see if their final build of the new inventory is better than that one they were presenting :0 !

Probably terrible lol I couldn't imagine drinking bread ...
