    Question about Experimental Build

    Just remember, that to go back down to stable, you will also need to redownload a similar amount. Just something to be aware of.

    DEANS serverpolicy - PURE stupidity

    The server rules have been posted since we have had the PRIVILEDGE of renting them. Agree and pay or don't agree and wait. You aren't buying a server, you are only RENTING it. Conditions apply. PS: Threats of violence are not called for.

    Logging Out - Expermimental Branch 114782

    Because it is not computationally feasible to calculate who is in combat with who. What are the criteria that you can come up with to even consider applying, and how can you possibly not create a situation with these criteria that isn't wide open to exploitation by players? The system they are trialing has simplicity and scalability on it's side which will become more desirable as we begin to be able to ramp up the number of players per server. Your suggestion would entail orders of magnitude more computation and would become an even greater suck on server resources. And people are already dispairing about the supposed lack of performance as it is.

    Tools: Is there a point currently?

    Screwdriver can open cans. The rest are probably slated for the 'crafting' system.

    DayZ.... the game?

    Sorry the game isn't to your tastes. I'd say 'sorry to see you go' but my mum doesn't like me to lie. What!? You're still here? Then sit down and wait with the rest of us. Half of the features slated for inclusion haven't been created yet and some (most) of the ones that have are only in as basic placeholders to test the framework. This is a process that will take 12 months or more before we get anywhere near the game you can start to bitch about.

    Death before donating blood

    Very minimalist. I like it. This is truly art!

    Zombie attack=everything ruined in backpack?

    Treat Zs like you would a freshie. TBH, if you're letting them get close enough to smack you upside the head, you're doing it wrong! It's not like the Zs have anything going for them right now.

    Default Keyboard Settings List

    Wait a bit, and read some of the forum posts. Then you too will know EXACTLY how dumb some of the players are around here!

    I cannot get away from it.

    Simple. Get off the regular servers and play Hardcore at night. Then all you have for company is the echo of your own footsteps and the occasional growl from your real 'friends'.

    Screenshot folder ?

    I use the steam F12 method and don't have any problems. Prtscn won't work with DayZ.

    Friendly Players

    Experimental is good like that. These servers really show that there is indeed a good core of players within the community. I find a similar situation on the Hardcore servers versus the Regular ones on the stable branch.

    Reflection of Experimental 33.114782

    No. There's enough meta-gaming already. Stomachs don't come with guages, and there shouldn't be one in DayZ! The statuses should be a tad smaller, IMHO, but definately better than what you're suggesting.
  13. Might be the same issue I have occasionally, but I'm using nVidia GFX560Ti. Seems to be related to one of the post-processing options. Not sure which one as I've usually got them all turned way down or off for FPS.

    Extension Packs

    We might or might not see DLC style extensions for DayZ, but TBH, it's way too early to even be thinking about such things. Let's wait at least til release before we start slinging about 'expansion/extension' BS, please.

    Zombies Spotting You From A Distance.

    They can also hear you, and that isn't effected by FoV. If you can see/hear them, they have a chance to see/hear you! Be careful out there, people!

    Logging Out - Expermimental Branch 114782

    Look, a lot of people on these forums have been so inceansed by combat logging that they have literally created hundreds of threads DEMANDING this system be put in place, so that they are not deprived there precious kills and ruined loots. They have got exactly what they asked for. Now we have to eat it. I for one, don't spend my time in PvP so it doesn't make a difference to me. 30 s is not going to put me in danger too often because I am that careful WRT my surroundings. On the odd time that it might make a difference, meh... , it's only gear and we're still in early Alpha. Nothing I'm too attached to here, yet. To the OP: Someone else has posted the Reddit quote from Rocket about the test they did using your method. IT DIDN'T WORK! IT WAS EXPLOITABLE! I'll take Rockets words over your arsehole opinion anyday.

    Demographic Profile Of Dayz Community

    Age: 45 Gender: Male Country: New Zealand Played Mod: Minimal Other: 10,000+ hrs OFP, ArmA, ArmA II2,000+ hrs ArmA III200+ hrs DayZ SA @Terminal Boy Thanks. Nice to see some other 'mature' players about. Now I don't feel so alone.
  19. Sorry, was at work so couldn't reply. 30 sec log out timer. Be careful where you log out. Zombie, Bandit or KoS kiddie isn't going to know whether you're logging or not. You'll have to make sure your in a safe place before you disconnect. Don't know about the log in delay. Weren't able to get on an experimnental server to check. Don't know if they are even up yet.
  20. ATM, nothing*. After the next stable patch, there will be a 30 second log out timer followed by a relogging delay when joining the same or a different server. Not sure what the relog timer is set at or whether it is static or increasing by number of servers. Experimental servers are down ATM so can't test. * Apart from the chance to hose your character due to hive issues, ofc.

    Any Can Tell Me Why Moslin Reload 1 Shell ?

    You painted a work of art! People like you shouldn't be allowed guns... Just saying...
  22. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/169526-pending-changelog-experimental-branch-033114782/ and this Source: http://www.reddit.co...20nss?context=1 So, you've got both things you want coming in the next stable patch. A log-out timer and a re-log delay. Can we move on now, please?

    Noob With A Few Questions.

    1. Zombies... Alpha... Will be fixed when they are fixed! 2. Correct. No global spam. Don't need it! Don't Want it! 3. Watch these: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/159251-merinos-in-depth-video-guides-updated-jan-22nd-all-medical-items-to-keep-or-not-to-keep/. Everything else you can pick up in game. 4. Server restart doesn't reset your gear... at least not intentionally. But this is Alpha and there are bugs. 5. You can server hop. There will be penalties coming with the next stable patch, so don't get to comfy with it. So, welcome to DayZ. Now get in there and play!
