hi, I say no since I don't want any artificial mechanic to penalize one playstyle. cya. Nikiller.

hi, I play ofp/ArmA series since 2001 and I like the mod for what it is. I mean tension is incredibly strong and I never felt like that in any video game. Few times, my heart was pumping as hell and I fought to don't disconnect so it was unbearable. It is frustrating, unforgiving and most of time you die like a dog when you make a mistake. To make things clear I don't want the bandit skin back, punish psycopathe snipers, force people to cooperate or stop coast beans war. Nope I don't want any of this things even if I am in a group of carefull players who don't kill each other on sight. People have their own fun and I'm fine with that. Of course, everything is not perfect and one thing bothering me is the fatigue realism. I know zeds are not realistic blablabla but let me explain. IMHO, it should not be possible to run forever without any consequences. Your movement speed (jogging, sprinting or walking slowly) should effect how soon you will become tired. The total amount of gear you are carrying, should have a huge effect on how fast you become fatigued. Once you have reached your maximum stamina you collapse (hourglass screen). This is likely when carrying a rifle, a pistol with lots of ammo and supplies at the same time. If you overload yourself your collapse real quick. In order to regain your stamina, you should rest. More you stay alive and more you stamina level is hight. If your are alive since 30 minutes you should be less trained and have less endurance than a guy who is alive since 8 days. With a fatigue system, players will have to plan what gear they choose for which mission (water, car parts, meat...). They will also have to plan their movement depending on zombies and other players and use vehicles to carry heavy equipment. Player should not be able to endlessly run around like headless chicken with a ruck full of stuff and 20-30 runners at his tail, find a barn and headshot them one by one with his makarov. It really kills the immersion and zombie threat. Please keep the topic constructive and mature. Discuss. cya. Nikiller.

Good argument, fair enough. I watched a very interesting TV show (The Nature of Things: The Perfect Runner) there's a while ago where an anthropologist studied if humans where able to run big distances. To make it short the answer was yes, human are able to jog incredible distances even on difficult terrain like mountains during days. It's in our genetic heritage when we were hunters-gatherers. It's only possible with an heavy trainning but we still have the persistence hunting genes. But nowadays how many people are able to do this? Not a lot I think.

hi, Good new thanks for the confirmation -=PA=-Mikhail! I knew I read it somewhere but I was not sure (too much wine I guess). cya. Nikiller.

hi, Yea I think stamina should bring the game in a totally new level. In my opinion, it will solve a lot of issues people are complaining about. I think I read somewhere that Rocket will implement this feature in the standalone but it would be nice to have it in the mod, let's say, 1.7.4 ;). cya. Nikiller.

hi, Good job guys. cya. Nikiller.

hi, Wow, very detailed work here. Nice keep it up! cya. Nikiller.

hi, I enjoyed this TV show. (sorry I allready posted it in the TV show section but I think it is better to put it here) Summary: Imagine if one minute from now, every single person on Earth disappeared. All 7 billion of us. What would happen to the world without humans? How long would it be before our nuclear power plants erupted, skyscrapers crumbled and satellites dropped from the sky? What would become of the household pets and farm animals? And could an ecosystem plagued with years of pollution ever recover? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkMXhKj0D4w I liked it because it shows how it would be difficult to survive if the civilisation collapse. Not only lack of food or drinks but survive to the non maintained human installations pollution. Or our own pets organizing in horde and become wild because of the lack of food. I know the scenario is without humans but it would be the same if only few humans survived to an apocalypse (sorry for my crappy english). Maybe some of the stuff in the movie could give inspiration to DayZ developpers and they could implement them in future versions of the standalone like horde of wild dogs attacking players or inaccessible places without protection due to pollution. cya.

hi, I also was wondering too if the stand alone will release on disk. I'd buy on disk too just because I'm an old fart and I like to have hard copy. cya. Nikiller.

hi, Batteries is a good idea. cya. Nikiller.

hi, Very nice work. I wish those buildings were included when ArmA2 released. cya. Nikiller.

hi, Tried server in Fraggle signature. If you are in europe, I suggest this one. cya. Nikiller.

hi, Maybe some server are more hackers free than others because admins are more active but personally I always meet somebody who is cheating (god mod, teleport...) at some point. The good thing with private server is admin give you your items and vehicles back when you are hacked and hackers get caught and banned. EDIT: I will give a try to servers suggested above thanks guys. cya. Nikiller.

hi, Sad to hear you shut down my home server :( . There's a while that I don't play DayZ very often but I always come back to play on US10 for one or two hours of fun. Thanks a lot for supporting the community and providing us a good place to play. Hope to see you when the standalone release. Good luck HowIChrgeLazer and thanks again for the server. Some beans for you. cya. Nikiller.

hi, I think you are talking about this one. http://www.dayzpvp.com/ultimate-fov-field-of-view-guide-for-arma-2-and-dayz/ cya. Nikiller.

hi, I opened a topic about this there's a while ago: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/60980-want-to-be-better-at-pvp/ Most people are complaining about first person view since their field of view (FOV) is too low. If your FOV is too low it means that your game is not configured properly. There's no ingame option to change it but you can do it manually. Here is how to do it: I hope this will decide people to play in first person view. See you on hardcore servers. cya. Nikiller.

hi, There's real world stars map since 2001 in ArmA serie ^_^. cya. Nikiller.

hi, While I'm not for NPCs guarding stores or military bases, which is disavantage for a playstyle over one other, I would like to see death squad randomly spawning and killing everything on their path (zombies, survivors, heroes and bandits). Maybe some airstrikes from time to time, showing that the military is trying to check the epidemic. It would add a lot to the game atmosphere. I remember this happening there's a while ago on some servers and players loved to be chased by those death squads. Nobody never knew if it was hackers or developpers testing new stuffs but it was pretty cool. cya. Nikiller

hi, I am a bandit because I CAN and because it is easier than loot by myself. I am a lazy bastard, I know :lol: . cya. Nikiller.

hi, Beta patch 97771 is not BattleEye surpported yet, it means you can't play MP. source: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?141144-ARMA-2-OA-beta-build-97771-%281-62-MP-compatible-build-post-1-62-release%29&p=2235816&viewfull=1#post2235816 cya. Nikiller.

hi, I believe it was true there's couple of mounths ago but with all the hacking, bugs (saving problem, alt+f4, dupping...) and graphical glitches a lot of people have stopped playing/play on private hive. I think statistics are outdated. cya. Nikiller.
