Of my entire time playing the mod, I think I've only experienced like 1 cheater, but then again, I started playing the mod when the SA was released. Not many cheaters.

Change firemode is the F key I believe. Your friend probably just changed his keybindings and forgot.

I'm looking for DayZRP to come to standalone, that's why I want private hives.

I don't think there are even whitelists on standalone, only passwords, which isn't nearly as great. FUCK PUBLIC HIVE

"Goof rifles are also already pretty rare" - I spawned in today, walked into some log cabin thing and found a Mosin. True story.

Agreed. 10/10 would agree again.

My friend and I call geared players G.I Joes.

I think I will buy this PC, even if it is overpriced. It seems to be able to run games pretty well, even if not as well as they would run if I were to build it. Asking me to build PCs and know the parts and everything is unimaginable to me. Aside from that, thanks for the help.

Thing is, the servers are so weak they can handle literally nothing. What is currently on stable is already stressing the servers to an unhealthy extent.

No. This ruins the whole point of a hardcore survival game. Realistically, you wouldn't be able to create a safe house that you could go to if you die. Especially since in real life there's no respawn button (at least I don't think). I'll give you one tip though to deal with dying. Don't get too attached to your character and items (your basically just holding it for someone else)

I'm one of those people who tends to play mostly bandit (Only when they have valuable gear or pose a threat will I do a hold up). Though, if I was trapped in a camo building by 3 guys and some person I met on a walkie talkie came and took them out for me, I wouldn't be shooting. Kind of a dick move on his part, but oh well. Good story!

Just place your smaller backpack (current one) into the new one and go somewhere safe and swap the items from your old one into new.

Honestly, I really do hope they make it so servers don't need a restart (or at least nearly as often). Hopefully the server will soon be able to wipe player bodies, respawn loot, and more without needing a restart.

My friend told me to buy Arma 2 for the mod, and I'm just like "mm, okay why not" and I bought it. Now I'm a fan of DayZ and Arma!

I use to like standalone because of the amount of heroes and friendlies. I also liked having more bandits, because the mod had few of each. By "bandits" I mean people who hold others up. The bandits that you probably refer to are KOSers. In my opinion, bandits and KOSers are very different. The thing is though, recently it seems to all be KOSers in standalone now. So now that the standalone is the same thing as the mod but with less in it, I prefer the mod.

Alot of what this thread contains is people talking about how broken the game is. I feel I should state my opinion. I feel they should abandon this current build of the standalone and start fresh. The entire game is broken and the dev team doesn't seem to know what they are doing as far as the development goes (not saying they don't know how to create a game, but how to develop it well). The issue is that the core of the game isn't there. Let me list how they could go about things if they were to remake the game. The servers are broken, they really are. And while I don't know anything about game development and servers, I don't see how it is so hard to use ArmA 3 like servers as those run much better than the standalone servers. So, let's say they use ArmA 3 servers. Sweet, now they can do a lot of stuff and not have to sorry nearly as much about their limitations. Now let's throw in the pretty ArmA 3 engine and use that (and possibly modify it a bit). Now, we have a great engine that is ready for vehicles and more. Alright, so now we can add in some basic vehicles. Now, I don't know how possible this is, but they could copy & paste the vehicles from ArmA 3 into DayZ standalone and improve them however they want later. If not, then they can just add in a bicycle and not have to worry about things like fuel. Now they can add in some guns, zombies, change up the map however they want, and more. And with these great ArmA 3 servers they'll still have things that they can add. Also, I feel they should change how the game is played. Make guns and stuff harder to find. And don't add in a bunch of military items that makes your character look like they're soldiers in a fucking war. Also, do whatever you can to make sure it ISN'T a pvp game. A zombie apocalypse survival simulator is what I want. Now, do I expect the developers to do this? Hell no. But this is what I think.

Lol, hilarious!

To some extent it will, but I think they also need to add more things into the game (such as items) for players to want/need. Because as of now all you gotta do is play for 3 hours and have just about everything in the game. The other day my friend was playing hardcore on a 40 person server and in less than 20 minutes he had an m4 (with ammo) and a mosin, and pretty much everything else you could ever dream of having.

I don't even have a story that comes close to this, and I've been playing standalone since launch! Either being friendly gets me killed, or being friendly gets me a new friend. And when I choose to be a bandit, I don't get into gunfights. I make people think I'm friendly and when they're picking up a gun or something I shoot them in the head. Whenever I get attacked I'm always in the worst position. Just yesterday my friend and I got attacked at the Kamenka military base. Some KOS cod kiddies on top of the hospital. We only had magnums and blazes and they outnumbered us. We simply ran to Zelenogorsk to get away, and we both survived.

THIS IS FOR THE ARMA 2 MOD! This is the error my friend gets when he tries to join a server: Include file z\addons\dayz_code\system\ca\functions\init.sqf not found Can we get any help?

I'm pretty sure every server is a shit server then. Delayed responses, random zombie, soda, and mosin chambering sounds.

This server does sound interesting, but the name drives me away completely.

The only reason I'm not joining is because the server is called "Boobies and Beer".

I don't know alot about tech and all, but I did find these parts off of some youtube video and it's pretty cheap, but I'm planning to upgrade it in the future. How well can this build run games such as DayZ SA (& Arma 2 mod), as well as games such as BF4?

Alright, either way, better than what I currently got. Thanks for the help, very much appreciated.
