sexy town!!!

"Currently for me the greatest "anti-game" part of 1.7.1 is trying to get this thing running at all, the latest beta patch has somehow seriously borked my Steam Install. Maybe running an alpha mod on a beta version isn't the best idea after all. " Steam gets their patches from BIS and they normally don't do betas, only confirmed patches. So, that may be where the issue is coming from. "The game/mod version fragmentation happening is also something that needs to be taken care of, even things like difficulty level and 3rd person/crosshair should be unified across all servers." That will occur later once Rocket determines what the unified difficulty will be. "Unfortunately ARMA II still has no integrated updater or version management. Also Gamespy Browser is the worst. I seriously hope it will not be a part of ARMA III." Yeah, with betas it is normally you manually download and test. I normally don't play any beta patches and wait for other people to test the stuff out and wait for a confirmed patch. They do it this way so you aren't forced to test beta patches.

"problem is even prone is not even working all that well. I was prone behind barbwire and sandbags and a zed on the other side "saw" me and agroed. Also, The hide mechanic isn't working at all and even going through houses just leaves ZED stuck at the entrances and while you're trying to hide you just end up agroing more zed lol." This is actually pretty constructive feedback, I hope the devs see it.

"Gamma 'cheat'?. People turn gamma up because they see a flaw in the experience. They're turning gamma up because that's how they want to play the game!. I don't think everyone who turns gamma up in gfx settings, or CCC or w/e is looking for daylight at night time.. They're just looking for a tiny bit of detail in the night textures, so they can navigate and enjoy the environment!." Yes, that was a cheat, that's why it was changed so you can't do that. You could turn the gamma all the way up to see like it was a black and white film, like you were some super human. There are chemlights, flares, and now everyone gets a flashlight. "Or do i just stand still, stand up out of my chair - tall, infront of my monitor, salute my guy, and whistle a tune while the zombies eat him up. Crying. Just like I would in real life11!!11." If you are in town, by yourself... yeah, if you friends are there too? Then why aren't they helping you?

Please post in the bug area :)

Thanks, LemonDrop. :)

*Correction some people will be more determined than ever. Why don't we watch the murder rate and actually see?

1. Iam unvisible.cant see my own body in 3 person view ! (okay... not sure, maybe a bug) 2.I can see all player on the map the bigest crap ? (stop playing on Regular or lower, go to Veteran or expert) 3.Zeds see me soo far away it cannot be i must crouch WTF! (No you must prone! Now get on your belly, maggots!!!!) 4.I spawn with holycrap Flashlight etc no wappon wtf i die 5 times in 20 min ? (Ummm, learning curve, learn) 5.the complet update is for me holy crap sorry i cant play this ! so i say nice try but no way !!! (Yes... holy crap. Holy goodness, it is raining sweet sweet tears and Crap - was your previous game style)

Bullfrog you do have a good point there. The idea is pretty cool none the less.

There is a lot... and that is no joke a lot of work that goes into even making the simplest of maps, if you are serious. Go over to BIS forums, befriend IceBreakr, and start the process.

this isn't going to happen, there are other threads of the same nature. /close thread.

Really good suggestion, really good. I would stick to only audio though. Other stuff may be counted as bugs or be to cheesy. An example of that is, I just killed a guy and I know that I will see something appear in the next X mins. Audio is more nebulous and therefore harder to identify if it is fake or not.

"If half your demographic is asking for something like this and you just don't give two shits, you're a piece of shit." You know... that's just not cool and uncalled for, you made some okay points, but this statement threw all of that out the water.

Umm, I agree with parts of this. Soda isn't really a rare commodity, but it also isn't great for you. So, the fast solution is to reduce the spawn rate, and the long term solution is to not restore all the hydration like Deadnaut says. I would also throw in a small health bonus to it as well, because you don't want to make the choice between soda and water that easy.

Isn't it a bit early to start questioning teamwork? The patch was to make the game harder and resolve the death beaches. Not sure if there was a teamwork incentive added. Also, once a newly spawned bandit finds a gun... why would he go back to the beach to shoot new spawns? They don't have much.

"I was basically walking" - try crawling?

There are probably issues, but also you need to start getting on our belly and crawling. Prone is the new zone brother.

It's not a bug, it's a feature. A way to kill everyone to see the flashlight you get at the beginning. :)

You're right... we need to bring back stamina.

Am I reading this right? - remove darkness and let me gamma cheat - I want to be able to ignore the infected - I want a gun at the beginning because I can't "defend" myself mmmmm, delicious the game's to hard tears. It's supposed to be hard. And when you find a gun and bullets, you can go PvP it up - that was never removed, you'll only acting like it is because you can't kill the very first guy you see.

if you haven't changed the keys - hit the "." button, you'll see the words change in the bottom left corner of the screen, make sure you are on "Direct communication." If you have a headset, I think the button to talk is... shift? I can't remember I changed mine, you can look it up on your options tabs.

I'm expecting a quick drop in time for the first week, then a slow build up as people learn how to play in this environment. 1st week of slaughter - 23 mins. 2nd week of "Ah" - 25 mins

Briefly and I mean briefly looked through the forum and there is a shower of delicious tears... I'm so happy. :) To the complainers... learn to sneak monkeys. No more team death match :)

Spidergeo - they aren't zombies they are infected. if they were zombies they would require headshots. Also, this seems more like a general discussion thread and less of a suggestion.

I don't want to hear any more complaining about survivors being bored and bandits having enough ammo to causally hunt people. I want the delicious tears of people starving to death, bleeding out because zombies scratched them and they don't have any more bandages, hearing someone having a gun go off and people going "what was that?" because they haven't heard it in so long. People shooting each other in the street because there just wasn't enough food to go around. Zombies eating humans that passed out on the way to the store. I want to hear people begging for the crossbow. So, to the actual suggestions - reduce the spawn points - reduce the amount of gear spawned - increase the time on the respawn counters - lower the percentages on the drop tables for good items dramatically - increase the percentages of trash - make animals run if (knowsAbout == true) - decrease starting gear (you may already be doing this) - (optional) increase thirst rate (if possible based on running) - (optional) soda adds life (like 10), temporary adds relieves thirst but then increases thirst rate until water is consumed. - Forgot something: 2 shots of morphine == dead Advantages: - increases play time (you have to search more to survive) - force players to use fountains, which are in towns, more - removes the Death match argument (are you going to shoot that guy or save the bullet for when you need it?) - makes crossbow more useful - hunting animals is more entertaining - delicious tears? Disadvantages - Temporary flux of people complaining in the forum (like that is any different) - no, that's about it... Hey, if you don't like it, tell me. I'll go make it - with my stuff of course. :)
