  1. I'm not really into tracking Z/Player kills or getting into any man-length style competitions. The only statistic that should have any weight is the 'Days Survived IN Game.' And it should reset on each and every death. The other stats are just fluff. May be fun to see some of them, but only if they are NOT aggregated to some BS ranking site.

    Isn't "DayZ" quite possibly the dumbest name ever?

    My posting that was more a quick nose-thumbing in Steak's direction. Someone who looks remarkably like the erstwhile Leonardo should have known that no such phrase would have passed the formers' hirsute lips.

    Correct! http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Simplicity: "Anselm", The Recognitions (1955) by William Gaddis, p. 457; "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" was also used as an early slogan at Apple Computer in 1977 (introduction of the Apple II personal computer), and has also been attributed to Leonardo Da Vinci, but no published occurrence of such an attribution has yet been located prior to one in Wisdom Through the Ages : Book Two (2003) by Helen Granat, p. 225.

    cheaters make game unplayable

    341 hours in experimental exclusively and have yet to see a confirmed hack while I've been online. Plenty of 'features' getting in the way of play, but no hackers. Unless this rubber-banding on experimental is some new exploit.... took me 15 mins to walk 20m on AU-001 last night!!

    How to avoid people going after their own corpse

    Corpses are bait, nothing more. And it works both ways. It is very rare that you get back to your body and find anything worth having. Better off heading in another direction and hope for better luck elsewhere. The only reason I ever go back to my corpse these days is for a cup of bitter, cold REVENGE! But I'll ensure that I get there tooled up before I get there! PS: The only thing ever worth going back for is the can opener!

    Remove In-game Player List

    I voted 'no' on this one. Like most things in DayZ that require an action by the player to initiate, my view is simply that if you don't want to use a feature you are not forced to do so. If you don't want to have your immersion broken by the Player List, simply don't push the key to bring it up on screen.

    Global ban and sometimes i can play.

    Global bans can only be dealt with by BattlEye. No one here can do anything but offer consolation or a heartfelt 'HA HA'! Go here: http://battleye.com/support.html.... and good luck! PS: Just in case you're too lazy to go there:

    SSD smashing the fps in cities

    At a guess, I'd suggest the speed increase could be simply from the increase in swap speed if your swap file is now on the SSD. I don't see any mechanism that would affect FPS otherwise. An SSD can only affect transfer speeds between drive and memory, it can't affect graphics rendering in any other way!

    Same Servers?

    At the moment in the SA it doesn't make a whole lot of difference, but when we eventually get persistent objects and storage it will. Get into the habit of playing on a single server now, and you'll have a head start on the rest. Also, if you are on the same server all the time you build up a picture of the regular players and then when you run into them in the supermarket... it may not go as badly as it could!

    Will this make my computer and game run faster?

    If you can play ArmA II in single player with a respectible FPS, then nothing you do at your end is going to reduce the lag. The definition of 'respectible FPS' here is pretty fluid... If not, then anything you do except throw money at your CPU will be pretty much wasted cash. Server side lag is in someone else's hands, and you either have to live with it or move on to another server. For free tools, though, I like the CCleaner and Defraggler from Piriform: http://www.piriform.com/. CCleaner will delete and old temp files and trash from the multitude of directory locations, and Defraggler is just a reliable disk defragmenter.

    Why do people want to tell others how to play?

    No... that's a jungle gym with softfall. A sand box is exactly the same but without the jungle gym. It's also alternatively known as a public animal litter box, which is a far better descriptor of the current state of DayZ....

    Missing init.sqf in epoch

    Definately is there! It is packed into the dayz_code.pbo file, which is in turn found in the @DayZ_Epoch\addons folder. Check that you are downloading the correct *client* file version from http://dayzepoch.com/#install.

    Which ssd ?

    $10 extra for double the space? Not much of a choice, unless the larger one is a dog... and even then.... Also, if you have the option, throw in a largish standard hdd for handling the windows temp files/swap files, etc. A little harder to set up but moving those read/write cycles off the ssd is a big win in terms of longevity.

    My Elektro Pet Peeve

    Actually, it's Электрозаводск!! Come on people, it's not that hard!! Anybody noticed that the SA has a provisional PEGI rating of 18, and that most of the players are well under that.
