did actually post this as part of a larger post about being able to hide things better. Wish people had read the whole thing :P it IS a good idea and i really want to see better ways of hiding our stuffs! :)

Not correct at all, a .50 cal can punch through a decent amount of armour plate, if it can punch through a jeeps engine block you can be sure it will make it through a couple inches of metal...

love the idea of world events, gnerally a more immersive world with wildlife that is not just for meat, ie dangerous animals etc storms bad weather. idea like everynone so far has but is a LITTLE bit OTT but i like your train of thought.

i agree couple of similar threads hopingtheyve been noted as good ideas ;)

bringing this fucker back from the dead as its touching on a great idea, after watching the new video blog, all i keep thinking is i need to know more about how they will improve making camps hiding vehicles etc etc. Was thinking being able to bury little caches of food etc if you have the entrenching tool, better wayys to disguise cars ie camo nets, being able to chop ferns to cover cars etc. Main thing i see as the problems is the way the terrain features grass etc draw as you move further away would really like to see this looked into. anybodyelse anything to add suggest, comment / slag this off? **EDIT** Id also like the forest to be thicker, more low level foliage and denser tree cover etc

regarding those graphics glitches yea they are not just object related but im sure removing them would get rid, they are the same thing many people who played arma 2 before the dayz rush would likely have seen when you look at the sky at certain angles sometimes, this wasn't so bad as only the sky usually went all trippy and shit! Also you say people are mad you went to the games con i disagree people are fine with you going there they are fine with you concentrating on the standalone, but what people are not happy about is the blanket silence. Yes its an alpha albeit a rather strange (read unconventional) alpha test. Despite it being an alpha we are your customers (probably) i.e we are the people who are most likely going to buy your game and its pretty out of order to just say nothing, not just you EVERYONE pretty much with the exception of Griff has had nothing to say. It all just adds to people thinking whats it actually going to be like when the stand alone comes out, it wont be using arma 3 as you've said and from what i can tell the issues with saving are in some way hive related? and surely for the most part the hive is going to be built almost the same surely for the stand alone so surely issues like this are a big worry? And you mention about patches not being released unless they are ready, when the last 2 patches i cant recall anything they actually fixed they just broke alot of things and then it all went a little bit quiet. Like i said were happy for you to take your time go do your networking but i'm sure someone including you could have said something at some point it takes a few mins to write a post on here. Hope it all wokrs out but work on that customer service :P

Shouldn't this thread be closed? its old and outdated and causing confusion people seem to think the title refers to the new bandit/saviour skins being removed... it doesn't this is an old thread from back when the bandit skins existed and were first removed......

will be fine just make sure you dont try and save the files to save yourself the hassle of the reinstall, just do the standard reinstall put the key in and all will be fine :)

fixed? tried manual restart of server? i know stupid, try putting this in the server section though mate might get better responce from guys who know alot about the servers :)

dont think its new mate we found them well before 1.7.2.4 on our server and came to the conclusion they are either hacked or just really rare

Have you run the arma 2 free on its own and then ran OA as combined ops on their own before you tried to run with day z? you need to run the games first before you install day z and try to run. *edit - cant tell you if its related to the free arma 2 or not though as i never used it

just a quick note its not the IP that stores it but the OA CD key, you can run two accounts on one pc you just need to swap the keys over, there are a few ways to do this so if oyu want to know drop me a PM

The problem i had was when loading the keys after saving the respective registry files and loading themi always get the failed to load headers problem. Ive actually found a work around for people if you guys are interested abnd it allows the DLC to work with both your CD keys. 1) swap keys in the registry (plenty of guides on this) 2) open your steam account that has the DLC on it 3) Right click BAF>Properties>Local files tab and hit "Verify Integrity of game Cache" 4) repeat 3 for PMC 5) launch arma Beta or launch through 6 launcher/ day z commander (just dont launch through steam) This should work and allow the dlc to work for both keys and stop those damned errors! *edit* you do need to verify cache each time you swap keys but it takes maybe 10 seconds per game it will also look like its uninstalling dont worry just click yes to confirm

Dont think server hopping will ben an issue with standalone so fear not

Firstly i want to just note how funny the start of this thread is considering now its been picked up by rocket "lets see if this thread lasts till stand alone" etc etc wonder if that guy feels like a tit now? My suggestion and request i guess is for more zombies in general, and ones that dont sprint but so many you can get really overwhelmed especially when you start firing. Id also like a much bigger map with diverse scenery and proper mountains etc The ability to create an on the fly group and better methods of communication.

Just thought id share this story. Found an ATV me and a few friends and in looking for a spot to hide the thing stumbled across a camp site fairly hidden and barbed off. Great we stop get the wire cutters and start filling the ATV with all the military loot, while joking how annoyed these guys are gonna be when they get back and also hoping they don't come back. So were about full and i jump into the drivers spot and a friend on the back as the surrounding woodland bursts into gunfire from all around us, could not pinpoint the fire but immediately one of our friends was down (couldnt peddle fast enough on his pushbike) not sure why they shot him first given we had all their gear in the quad. We take a few bullets in the legs and start bleeding badly with broken bones but managed to get away, didn't get far before our blood was almost gone so make a risky stop to bandage and blood up swiftly before moving out and putting some more distance between us and them. Later on we decide to go back on foot and find theres more to this camp with a UAZ further up the hill and we spot their team, we watch them for several hours and plan a strike, move in rob the rest of the tents and made our escape in their UAZ with a considerable amount of gear including 3 NVGS. a good day lets hope we can defend our gear better than they did!

the vs truck might be the one i brought back on map, i chucked it up on a hill in the north somewhere it had like 15 l85s in it lol

it seems their jimmies were thoroughly rustled lol

i dont get why theres no official word on this :S

say whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

just wait on the hills overlooking elektro for free loots, hang around up the back wait for the sad mofo with his as50 to arrive and makarov the shit out the back of his head

i think people are a little confused, have you fully installe using steam and launched the game through steam as standard before launching dayz through day z commander? try that first

Same error have to reinstall the DLC's everytime swapping cd keys.... there must be a way around it! There was a dev from BI Dwarden helping as this was an actual issue when PMC first released so i suspect a fix must be possible without such a huge faff! So another pleading post can some one see if they can figure this out and i will continue to see if i find an easier way!

funny to see this is being ignored...... is it definately only new servers can similar issue spill over onto older servers? So yea this Alpha has caused unjustified global bans and people are having to pay for servers that dont work now :s i know its probably grown so fast its caught you out but really you need to try and work on this stuff. Or create a proper Alpha environment ie servers YOU pay for where you can freely test all features etc and alpha shouldnt really just be open world gameplay there should be tools to test certain aspect etc

OK so lets start off with can anyone clear up the spawn rules for the helicopter? or should there always be 1 somewhere on the server somewhere waiting to be discovered? Reason im asking is this 2 weeks ago on EU 32 we found one in the woods presumably crashed as there was no way to land it safely in trees this thick...but it was fully repaired! however i later found out it repaired itself like most vehicles in the game when you let it stand still for a while... I manged to get it out the woods with my team bashing it with quads into a clearing and went for a fly, all fine all great put it on auto hover over a town and it flipped 360 and we had to bail out over elektro as it crashed into a huge fire ball, must have been pretty funny to watch! and that's that its never been back its not re-spawned at all ive checked periodically and nope its nowhere i even got a global ban for checking using a script (my bad learnt that lesson the hard way) and also i dont really regret it how can you check bugs on things like this when they are so rare and the island so big you cant be sure? but i am now as i cheated and got banned for it! So that's it is there a problem with the spawning? or do they literally just no appear for weeks on end?
