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 usually wear a blue checkered shirt and a nice little hat (whatever I can find). I hope this makes people think of me as a hero. I believe my current character wears: A cowboy hat An orange Taloon pack Blue checkered shirt Assault vest Blue jeans My character looks like a pretty trustworthy guy.

Nice shot.

I rest my case?

You don't shoot a fresh spawn because they can barely do anything to you. All they have are fists. Unless they are trying to kill you, there is no point to shoot them. It's considered a nooby thing to kill freshies. If for some reason, the freshy power is too strong for you, try wearing a ballistic helmet.

I run on Intel HD 4000 graphics and I run the mod fine.

1. Lag is a huge issue in 2014. I don't know what world you live in, but it sounds pretty nice. 2. Melee combat is a little... dodgy.... Kinda gotta deal with it sadly.

In the recent update they made the zombies harder to kill (aim for the head).

I think this may be a bug and I'm not sure how to fix it. But to make your life easier when you do fix it, instead of spending an hour refueling your heli with jerry cans, land your heli near or on top of a gas station to refuel it in just a few seconds.

Happened to me yesterday, fucking made me want to kill a man.

I don't like night in the standalone. In the mod, it's GREAT. Hell, I prefer night over day in the mod. In standalone? It's pitch fucking black. You can't see shit, it's like being blind. If they make night like it is in the mod, then I'll love night again, but until then, let's just say I won't be playing on any night servers.

What I like about the hunter pack is that it's smaller and if your in a gunfight with a mountain pack and someone is aiming for your head and miss, guess where it's going? Your backpack. Not much of an issue with the hunter pack.

They have multiple teams working on different things. The thing is, the community wants cars, or for now, at least a bike to settle us down. How about they get the dev team working on shirts to work on vehicles? WE DON'T NEED MORE CLOTHING OR FOOD. Not right now, I think vehicles should be number 1 on the priority list. Then you can focus on adding a purple shirt in. What also pisses me off is that when people create these suggestions, the forum moderators lock the thread. I thought we were supposed to suggest things to help the game development? They never listen to anyone's suggestions on the forums.

The first time I went to cherno was in the mod. I crossed a small little street a few minutes after I got there, and I got sniped. Haven't been there since. You have to be very stealthy around the cherno area, at least in the mod. That's my only suggestion to you.
