Isn't that how DayZ started in the first place? People telling Dean it couldn't be done or it wouldn't work? Since the beginning of DayZ, with every new feature there was a huge outcry in the community that the changes/features wouldn't work and it would ruin the game. But after the dust settled everybody loved them... At this point I have complete faith in Dean and his ability to make this Game the best it can be. He knows what he's doing and is willing to try new things, and more importantly, he isn't afraid to say when he was wrong and change things back to the way they were if something doesn't work out the way he thought it would. But you have to let him try and do his thing, because thats why we are here now and are talking about DayZ becoming a standalone game. Because Dean was doing things no one else had the balls to ;)

After my first couple of deaths back when I started playing DayZ, I just stopped getting angry when I died... It's part of the game, maybe it's even the whole point of the game, that at one point you just die... Through starvation, through zombies, through another player or maybe even through your own hand because you broke your leg in the middle of nowhere and you don't have any morphine... There are games I sometimes get upset over, like Battlefield for example. When I get sniped by the same guy over and over or someone baseraping or something like that, but in DayZ, I see no point at all, raging over it...

if you're a gamer, and as such read gaming newssites at least once a week, you probably wont miss the release... every "good" gamingsite will post a news about this.

will never happen. rocket said he likes the 3P camera because it has a much more realistic FOV. and I agree. no 3P would be a terrible idea! if you dont like it, play on no 3P servers.

yeah it was. I've started playing namalsk on saturday, and within 3 hours of play me and 2 of my buddys had, 2 pickups and an ural full of weapons (2 M4sd, 2 M40, 1 MK48, lots of ak's and m4s) but barely had any food.

thats the whole point of the map. imagine a zombie apocalypse would occur, in like, lets say the US. and now lets assume it has been 4 years. a lot of the initial survivors are probably dead by now, so what would you find all over the place? right, weapons! and what would be pretty scarce? exactly food! if the industry stops producing canned beans, they will eventually run out... the idea behind namalsk is, that you fight the other survivors for food and medical supplies.

there isn't a single reason why you should/would/need to use XP over windows 7. its old and outdated. and has no advantage what so ever...

QFT :D

Dean did approach a lot of different studios and publishers (but not bohemia) with his idea, and they all said that it wouldnt work. in fact, i would've said the exact same thing 4 months ago. nobody could've seen this coming. but since the huge success of dayz, BIS is supporting him a lot, and afaik he is working only on dayz atm. i'm fairly curtain that dayz will become a standalone game based on arma3 by the first quarter of '13.

you do realize that rocket works for bohemia right? and they support dayz in every way possible.

private hive servers?

dont get me wrong, I play on official server most of the time. but when i'm alone or with new people i like to have the option to go on a different hive server so i dont lose my gear while showing ppl around in cherno :D and if rocket comes up with a way to prevent hopping and DC'ing, I'm all for it!

and why is that? it takes away most problems dayz has with meta gaming atm. like hopping, dc'ing during firefight and stuff like that.

well, the cant hop, but you could still have someone spawn behind you, because they logged out there ;) but i agree, i like private hives aswell because ppl cant hop. if they log out during a firefight its about who can wait the longest :D

Since the letters infront of the number usually are the country the server's from I'd say Luxembourg. :D

So I just found my first crash site but it only had a DMR mag and some empty tin cans. i picked it all up and killed all the zeds 3 times, but the loot doesnt seem to come back. does it even respawn?

and so does the crash site ;) so basically a downed helo only spawns loot once? i almost cant believe that, because so many ppl talk about great gear they found there, and they could've not always been the first ones there.

alpha bro, these things happen.

I hope rocket is okay... usually he had almost 20 posts a day, but since thursday he hasnt made a single post...

when you see a deer stand and you tell your friend to stop the car so you can check it out, and he responds "dude no zeds around, so no loot either"

i think crafting is something rocket already has on his agenda, but it will be quite some time until it'll get implemented. it needs a lot of work and right now there are more important things to fix/add/remove.

have to agree with you on that. bear traps are just destined to be another way to grief and camp. take factory in cherno for example. with bear traps you can just put one on the bottom and one on the top of the ladder and you're safe forever... I also agree that loot should be spread out a little more. not completely random, cause that would make going to a specific place for loot pointless, but at least move one barrack from the NW to the NE airfield and one firestation from elektro to berenzino or something...
