Rule 2x: Don't even TRY to play the game in its current state, even IF (and that's a big if) you succeed you will be disappointed. The hype was generated by previous versions where the mod was either a) new, or B) in a still-playable (albeit buggy) state. Play now and you will have fun for 15 mins (about the time it takes to install) Whereafter hacks, glitches, failures to connect and various other errors will make you question your will to live. I had fun because I got in (and out) before the hax. And "Loading".

Loading... Please look at above word for a day or so. This has been my day. I had fun. RIP

Yeah, it is sad that your society is so fucked up. In the civilized part of he world, we don't need to carry guns and the homeless are homeless because of mental illness or choice, not poverty. Go ahead, enjoy being "world leader" while your country is in a freefall. Also: STANAG SD plz.

HanoverFist, you may want to stop with the thinking, seems you are not equipped for it. OP: Welcome to DayZ. Unfortunately, the game is no longer worth playing since any equipment can and will be randomly stripped from you by hackers mass killing everyone. I suggest you try out Vanilla ArmA II or one of the many other excellent mods. Personally, I'd recommend Project Reality or Vietnam: The Experience.

On STEAM = F12 Not on STEAM = RTFM

Lee Enfield all the way. It only has one real downside and that is the sound. It summons ever single zombie and half the players on the map.

Oh, I see what OP is doing using a new post for every sentence, Postcount++ Clever!

Oh. Well I am sorry then. English is a second language to me so I make an actual effort when communicating.

Well you said: If you get rid of the game, isn't that basically the same as stopping development? And later: Again, getting rid of the game is hardly the solution.

Wait, what? You made maps for the francise for a long time so you obviously care about it. Why then suggest dropping development of the most popular mod because of hackers? Wouldn't it be better to try to remedy the situation?

Um, how about YOU get rid of it? Read a bit or GTFO, plz. Or are you offering to create a hacker-proof engine that can handle the scale of ArmA2's maps and recode the mod? In that case, I am sure Rocket would be interested in hearing what you have to say. To be honest, I am confuzzled as to what you are trying to achieve here. Get rid of the game? You realize that the mod is nothing without it, right? Are you saying that Rocket should stop development and we should all uninstall because you had a bad experience? Here's a suggestion: Next time you ragequit and head to the forums to mash your forehead on the keyboard in frustration, don't. Sit a bit and think. What are you trying to achieve? How might you word your post in order to meet your objective? What do you imagine the response will be? I think this might lead to better responses to your "posts" and it would certainly improve the atmosphere in here a bit.

Wait, your idea of "shortening it up" is to quote his entire wall of text and add a single line?

Blizzard, really? I would be mighty peeved if Blizz turned my fave "Zombie" survival game into a cartoonish kiddie-fest. But to each his own, I guess.

Some people just want to see the world burn. Personally, I take what I need and feck off but it is up to personal preference, really.

I am afraid it is a Utopia. The rules would be uninforcable and the stash would draw many snipers who can kill perfectly fine without being inside the town. That is, unless you suggest adding arbitrarty and unrealistic mechanics.

People are born equal, opinions are not. I don't really care about an un-(or mis-)informed persons opinion vs that of someone with the facts on hand.

Demon20, I think it is because these are the two most powerful guns. One is a one-hitter and the other is OMGHAX when used to spot/kill other people. Removing these would level the playingfield a *bit*. TBH, the AS50 isn't the bigger problem, at least you can hide from that one.

You've got red on you.

Except among the adherents of "the religion of peace", naturally. But we shouldn't mention that for fear of reprisal. I support cannibalism... er, as a feature of a computer game, naturally! I do, however think that there should be some fairly severe consequences, so it isn't abused. Also, no eating of the Zeds. please! THey have a hard enough time as it is. Also they are probably poisonous.

I listen to podcasts while waiting for the game to open, while connecting to a server, stuck at loading, ctrl-alt-delete, close program, open DayZ again, wait some more, connect to server, stuck at loading, ctrl-alt-delete, close program, open DayZ again, wait some more, connect to server, wait for it to load, get asked to select gender despite not being dead, log off server, find new server, stuck at loading, ctrl-alt-delete, close program, open DayZ again, wait some more, connect to server, log in, wait, finish loading, run 200m, blinded by GIANT ARTIFACTS OF DOOM, find new server, stuck at loading, ctrl-alt-delete, close program, open DayZ again, wait some more, connect to server, log in, wait, finish loading, logged in and loaded successfully... Sit a bit and look at the screen. Sigh and close DayZ, boot up IFL44.

Actually, my consumption of coke and beans has increased severalfold since beginning to play DayZ.

Variety is nice, as long as they are hard to get. Shotguns and low-tier pistols and perhaps hunting-rifles should be the staples and military equiment really, really rare.

200k players, avg. lifetime is rising. Your argument is invalid.

I have this too. Didn't experience it before the patch.
