Star Citizen has made over 35 million dollars and the only thing you can do right now is look at a 3D model of the ships you have bought for hundreds and thousands of dollars. Yes, a ship costs hundreds of dollars. They're not projecting the game to be released until the first quarter of 2015. 35 million dollars hasn't changed that projected release date.

Easy fix, logout in the 2nd/3rd story of a non-high traffic building.

It depends on what type of gamer your g/b/f/spouse is. If they like FPS, Zombies, survival and Roguelikes they will probably like DayZ. If they're more of a casual gamer then...probably not.

No you don't need TS/Mumble. VOIP is built in to the game. However, many people use Steam chat, Mumble, Teamspeak, etc. to coordinate privately.

This isn't news to anyone who has been keeping up with the development. The same thread with the same snooty, "armchair developer" sentiment has been posted repeatedly already. Millions of dollars are not going to make over a year's worth of game development magically be done in a month.

I would take the flashlight and battery too and replace them with...NOTHING!

Try low pop servers and servers with "Restarts every X hours" in their description.

Going off what Rocket has talked about, there are no plans for anything like classes, factions, additional game modes, etc. We don't need that shit in the game anyway. If DayZ SA becomes moddable, then have a field day with it but don't hold your breath for stuff like that in the base game.

You can report bugs, glitches, geometry problems here, noting the location, building type, circumstances, etc.: http://feedback.dayzgame.com

Your DayZ character is tied to your steam account/id. DayZ characters are stored on BI's servers, not locally so it doesn't mater if you change computers. If you notice your character has been reset, it's usually symptomatic of frequent server hoppers. Character wipes can be caused by glitches/bugs, server files not properly updated, server not whitelisted on public hive or server desync with public hive.

Character wipes can be caused by a number of things including glitches/bugs, server not using updated files, server not whitelisted to public hive and server desync with public hive. If you server hop a lot, then you risk getting your character wiped...A LOT.

There seems to be a lot of confusion here about the Steambox and SteamOS. The Steambox will natively support Linux but it will also act as a SteamStreamBox. It will utilize your local home network to stream Windows/Mac games from your Windows/Mac to your Steambox/TV. DayZ would not have to be "ported." The game would have to be streamed from a local PC. The Steambox in it's current state doesn't support game streaming yet though.

This are my hunches: 1. Another program (a naughty one perhaps) you have running is causing a bad interaction with DayZ, leading to your shutdown. Check your task manager/processes and see what other programs/services you are currently running. 2. You could have malware/viruses. You need to scan for Malware/Viruses. 3. Your laptop may be overheating due to the GPU working overtime, causing your laptop to shutdown. A GT525M isn't exactly a powerhouse. Get a CPU/GPU temp monitor as suggested above.

As has already been stated, allowing people to spawn with their friends or pick their spawn points would result in massive abuse. If you want to find your friends, jog to the nearest town, look at the road signs and figure out which way to go from there. I think the overwhelming response you're going to get from most players is:

If you actually look at the pictures, you'd see that they weren't ladder kills. These guys all spawned on top of the roof, otherwise all their dead bodies would be on/near the ladder. Even if they were ladder kills, they'd still be perfectly legit.

Confirmed/Upcoming Features for DayZ: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/156129-confirmed-upcoming-features-for-dayz/

Lol, he's got a macro keyboard with a matchstick shoved in the key. Why not use the macros? I've got a MS sidewinder keyboard and it's got a bizillion different programmable macros but the only thing I actually use on it is the built-in auto-run key.

Lolwut? NWAF is where it's at now? I thought the party was at Elektro! I better stretch first...

Squaliebawse, don't start pulling release dates for Xbox One and PS4 out of your ass. Hall (Rocket) talked about console releases being a possibility, with a PS4 release being much more of a possibility than Xbox One. Hall has stated the game won't be officially released for over a year from now. There have been NO official announcements about development starting on a PS4 or Xbox One version of DayZ. Hall talked about there being a possibility and that he would like to...that's it. I wouldn't hold your breath for a console release. While DayZ has so far been a massive success on PC for both the mod and the SA alpha, I have doubts as to what sort of success it would see on console. In a perfect world, I'd like to think that the general population of console gamers could handle a game like DayZ but look at these forums already. They are full of whining children crying about the spawn system being changed so they're not all plopped directly in Cherno/Balota, weapon drops being decreased, and having to walk/run anymore for more than 15-30 minutes tops, not being able to server hop their way to full milgear in 20 minutes now and how the game doesn't cater to their mainstream FPS instant gratification mindset. Now take all the whining on here about DayZ being difficult (it's supposed to be), multiply that at least tenfold and that's probably the response you'd get from your general console gamers. And on top of all that, no KDR/Score/Leaderboards to epeen about? Their poor liittle minds would just explode. I'm not trying to get into a "PC Master Race" debate but I think that's just the reality of it so it makes more sense for the dev team to put most of their efforts into the PC game.

I don't have money pouring out my ears but I totally would have paid twice as much for this game without batting an eye, being fully aware of the current issues. It's still an awesome game and it's completely worth it in my opinion. I'll tell you what I'm not buying. I'm not buying any more EA games. Since BF3, EA has just been a downward spiral of disappointment.

When I run, I serpentine. It's hilarious how many people play this game like it's a mainstream FPS twitch shooter, shooting on full auto and can't hit the broadside of a barn to save their life. I ran away from a guy shooting at me once, he was shooting at...I don't know what...and then he ran out of bullets...and I circled back and beat him to death with a shovel.

I'm not saying you did or didn't. I'm just saying you've been banned BattlEye. And you have 3 VAC bans across two separate Steam accounts (if not more alt accounts). It really doesn't look like you've "learned your lesson" or that you have any real intention of not continuing to cheat in games. That's not an "I was curious" type of thing. That's an ingrained behavioral pattern often referred to as "once a cheat, always a cheat." I'm not saying it's not possible for someone to rehabilitate but it doesn't seem like you've been trying to, looking at your record.

Hence the reason, the product page has a giant disclaimer at the top of it that says you shouldn't purchase this game unless you want to support the development and understand there will issues like this during the alpha/beta. Your problem is you're getting too attached to your stuffs. The real fun of DayZ is starting with nothing. There is no limit to the madcap hijinks you can engage in as a newspawn with little to no danger of losing anything significant. The point of the alpha isn't for you to have the most happy fun time experience possible without any interruption in game service or your character progress. Expect interruption in game service. Expect to lose your character progress. Expect random deaths to occur. What you can you do about it? Fall through a wall? Report it. Find a bug? Report it. Instead of just complaining about it, help get these problems fixed. http://feedback.dayzgame.com
