Keep in mind that most things in Frankie's vids are completely set up and you'll have nowhere near the same experience going in as he does. Make sure to research accordingly before spending money and prevent yourself from potential disappointment.

This is a mod for Arma 3, so yeah you need to buy Arma 3 for it to work.

The game has bad user reviews because it's still a piece of shit (no offense.) I'm playing it anyway because i love checking the new things and the shittiness kind of has that nostalgic DayZ charm for me (though i fully ''expect'' it to not be shitty in the future.)

Zombies still not patched back in? Seya in another 2 months then.

Agree with this playstyle completely. Not playing SA right now because of no zeds. Zeds are also probably what worry me the most, progress wise. I really hope they can get them to work as intended, in great numbers, but since it's likely the hardest part of development i'm not sure it'll happen.

I heard what i thought was a kid yelling over comms, spooked the shit out of me since i hadn't seen anyone around and was in quite open space. Then i go outside the house i was in and see 2 cows running away from me. lol First non-player movement i've seen in the past days.

He hasn't been on the forums since early 2014. I wish he'd dump a message or jab every now and then to show some interest, but apparently he's not interested in showing the community that he still gives a shit.

Zombies need to return asap, preferably in great numbers and in a hotfix before 0.59. (Motor)bikes would be great. Maybe quads and/or trikes, small single-seater stuff that's relatively easy to find and haul ass around the map with. And with that the implementation of slower sprinting and stamina.

Yes, just drag it into your hands.

Some stuff stored in camps counts towards the CLE, like vehicle parts i believe. Which would mean that if all of them are stored in camp containers, none can be found elsewhere. (At least that's what i gathered from Hicks on reddit.) I'd like to know if this is the case for weapons too, or if i'm wrong alltogether.

I bloody well hope they hotfix zombies back in sooner than 0.59, game isn't worth ''testing'' at this point.

I haven't found an M4 since early 2014. Don't know where the hell they went.

I agree, though it'll depend on the development speed from now on as well. The game is pretty fucken shitty at the moment, because there are no zombies. If they manage to keep the alpha as terrible as it is now until they hit beta, the change will be bigger. And if the beta is shitty as well, release will be all the more sweet. Unless release will be shitty too, in which case ''k tnx bye'' applies again. Not shitty would be: No lag/desync, hordes of scary zombies with decent AI, all the features (base building, loads of different vehicles) minimised clunkyness/solid controls (without loosing the realism), balanced loot, little to no hackers, etc. So message to devs: Keep the alpha and beta disgustingly horrible to play, and release a shiny well functioning game with all the shit implemented to keep the biggest possible playerbase.

Decided to go look for some action at the NWAF after finding more guns, ammo and food than i can carry. Hadn't met any players since the 4-ish ours i started playing again, so my guard was down. No zombies to shoot either, so at this point i just wanted to do anything with another player, be it trade or have a gunfight. Started looting the tents. I don't know why i was so greedy, cause i was already packed to the fucking max with everything i needed. Whilst i was deciding what to take and/or leave behind, i hear a shot and see a bit of blur on the screen. I immediately realise some bloke shot my clothes to bits, but i still had a chance. I turn around towards the tent opening, trying to get my MP5 out (it left the hotbar again, which happens when you drop it and pick it up again.) My attacker casually reloads besides the tent, appears again and blows me in the head with his shotty. Dang, i need to work on my reaction times and perceptiveness.
