    WTF?

    Because I like to play on full servers and that's the fullest server outside of experimental. Just waiting on a friend to join me and we'll be on our way. It's a game, it's a public server. And why not? Why not have some fun role playing a murderous KoS'er psychopath hell bent on ruining a peaceful society?

    DayZ is dead to me..

    "Sinphaltimus, on 27 Feb 2014 - 12:19 PM, said: Hello there I completely disagree with this statement." - LoK Yeah, looking back at that I agree with your disagreement. Poor choice of words on my part. i should have re-read and thought about it for a second. what I should have said was "So as such, choosing this method of communication in the forums, the topic, the reasons and the tone, he set himself up for all the flames and stomping anyone can dish out."

    DayZ is dead to me..

    LoK, With all due respect, there's nothing wrong with saying good bye to some friends. I think what most find insane and stupid is the topic "DayZ is dead to me" And the reason being that he just now discovered dean Hall is leaving. anyone who has been following dayZ since the MOd (like me who hasn't been a member here for very long) knew many moons ago that D.H. was leaving. The article i posted to is proof positive that this guy is making a huge table flipping deal out of nothing new at all. Here - Dean Hall was asked a question by Evan Lahti of PC Gamer and this is the answer he gave back in JUNE of 2013 when the article wasa published to the public. "I know it’s hard to predict, but how long do you see yourself working on DayZ? Hall: I think right now, realistically, the next 12 months. Particularly if a console port came in—or ports, if there were changes to certain consoles. I’d say I’m probably being realistic there, to deal with that." AND THIS... "Has Marek [spanel, Bohemia Interactive CEO], for example, given you free rein to just pursue that idea? Hall: Well, I’m not… I’m only signed with Bohemia for DayZ, so I’d need to come up with something else. I haven’t even thought about who to do it with yet. I’m not sure how to work in the Real Virtuality engine. My ultimate aim is, I want to create my own studio that I can run under my own ethos. I love working with Marek, so I think I’ll always have a close relationship with them, but I think, to make this game, I’d want to find people to do it with who… There’s been a few people I’ve met here who’ve said, “Wow, I’ve always wanted to do this mountaineering game.” I’m trying to assemble people who really want to do that" SOURCE - http://www.pcgamer.com/2013/06/21/interview-dean-hall-dayz-standalone-mountaineering-everest-game/ So if that were his initial feeling, he'd only be on for a few more months. The latest news that everyone is freaking about about, Dean says he'll leave at the end of the year or possibly stay on longer if needed. That's great news compared to leaving in June 2014. so instead of saying in the topic - "I'd like to say good bye to some friends here" And maybe something along the lines of, "i kind of lost faith in dayz with the realization that dean is really going. I have no faith in the idea that dayZ will become the product I dreamed it would, I could be wrong but I've decided to leave/take a break/disappear for a while/etc..." No, there's a rant about how he hoped dayz would be a success (only after a few months in alpha with millions sold) and how the news of Dean leaving was so shocking because dean wasn't dedicated to the task, And the fact that he doesn't understand when dean said his vision is fundamentally flawed. I mean really? all those reasons are invalidated simply because 1, no one knows how successful dayZ will be because it is not finished yet (despite the fact that it's so far very successful in alpha), Dean Hall leaving is OLD news and was never a secret. if you read that entire article, you'll see he never really vested much in to the idea anyway, it's not exactly what he wants to do, it's jsut a cool idea he came up with and is now getting the ball rolling at Bohemia so he can go off and follow his passion. Anyone who fooled themselves in to thinking otherwise did just that, fooled themselves, never really followed any news on the project and are complainging about what? Being ignorant? yeah, that's DayZ, dean and BI's fault. So as such, choosing this method of communication in the forums, the topic, the reasons and the tone, heh, deserves all the flames and stomping anyone can dish out. -Sin

    DayZ is dead to me..

    Wow. I mean, really.... Dean has talked about this since early last year, well before the Alpha came out. I don't understand how people who love this game and are Dean fans ever missed it. Why is everyone so shocked? He did a great thing and never hid his intentions from anyone. What a bunch of drama queens. http://www.pcgamer.com/2013/06/21/interview-dean-hall-dayz-standalone-mountaineering-everest-game/
  5. Every respawn a new story. Thanks for sharing.

    I cant connect

    Seriously, everyone, kill your toon. Something is corrupting inventory so instead of fishing for the items and being penalized anytime I want to log in and test, I simply kill my toon and respawn. Works every time.
  7. Sinphaltimus

    Do you play Experimental version or Regular, and why?

    Regular. I played experimental to get on the 100 slot server briefly. My internet is not conducive to downloading stable then experimental on a whim. If they were 2 different installs I would play both whenever. And, experimental doesn't have enough room. Not enough servers usually full.
  8. This is true. I've died, legitimately killed seconds before a server restart and would log back in alive as if nothing had killed me.

    Session Lost?

    The fix is death and respawn. Seriously.

    DeSync / Session Lost / signature check

    I had the same issue. Never identified what exactly it was but the resolution for me was either find a high ping server from another country (Europe) and dump all my gear there after stuffing myself with food and water OR commit suicide. Something is corrupting inventory whether it's a known bug or not, I don't know. I can deal with death in alpha so not a huge deal. Try it.

    Session Lost?

    I am having the exact same issue. I do not use hacks, i do not delete files, I cannot find anything in my profile that says anything about VAC bans which makes complete sense because like i said, I'm not a script kiddy hacker wanna be cheater. And yet I get Confirmation of changes session disconnect errors on most servers I once played on (Vilayer and Gameserver) I was able to join a European server last night without issue but pings were way too high. What gives? Also have over 450 hours in the game and only recently did this start (2-3 days ago). My steam profile - http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197996404335 EDIT: Yes I verified all my files via steam. I'm going to kill my toon and see if fresh spawning fixes it. i hear there's a lot of inventory problems screwing with desyncing a lot which could be the cause of this. Especially if you have lots of inventory or yellow storage boxes which i do. I'll report back in 5 minutes (damn spawn timer)... EDIT2: Instead of respawning after suicide, I decided to join a far away server, dump all my inventory then attempt to join vilayer nude and that worked. I'm not getting the error anymore and I can use inventory, so something was corrupted with my inventory. I do not use inception, do not put yellow cases inside of yellow cases or back packs inside of back packs, I also do not dupe items. However; I think either yellow cases are glitch when you have many OR logging in to a server with a rifle on your back and one in your hands (two rifles) might be causing this issue. I will test further and if i find something definitive, i'll open a bug report. My Advice for anyone having this same issue.... remove your max ping in the server filters and find any server you can get on, then either kill yourself or dump all your inventory. Then quit and go back to your normal servers. See if that helps.
  12. I think wet ruins things now. Perhaps the rain coat will mean something besides target practice.
  13. Also, betting there will be more things regarding weather - seeing Dean tweeted this last week some time... (maybe upwrds of 1.5 weeks ago) - https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/t1/1902812_10201358146667625_313958351_n.jpg

    It RESET me!

    You answered your own question "what the hell happened?" In the title of your thread "It RESET me!" I don't get it. What's the point?

    Why ARMA Engine?

    Posting from phone so I put link here when it was intended for the bottom due to some technical issues I'm having.http://www.nationaldefensemagazine.org/archive/2013/February/Pages/ContractsHighlightGrowingRoleofVideoGameTraining.aspx So many pages here I didn't bother reading most threads. I think a simple point prettier are trying to make about RV vs. <insert your favorite games engine here> is that it takes a lot to pull off the goal. And there is a trade off. No game engine exists that can give you Crysis3 looks with BF4 explosive terrains on the scale of Chernarus. But they are trying. Please note that graphics polish is the last thing on developers todo just because temp graphics are good placeholders for much of the project. I have a new found respect for RV Engine (vrb2) and Bohemia after reading this and realizing what it is that's going in to all of this. Oh, and this... http://products.bisimulations.com/vbs3-future-virtual-battlespace

    Im at my breaking point

    I've got about 30 hours of mod time maybe more and over 400 hours of SA. That feeling is why I continue to play. If that feeling ever goes away, I will probably stop playing for good. It's why I'm glad I'm in alpha, New things getting added all the time keeps it fresh for me. And no matter how many times I die and lose all my gear, I always get attached to it, I always hate "You are dead.".
  17. Last night was amazing. I'll need a few days to sort out the footage. Hopefully catch up tonight. Perhaps I can add about 3-6 more to the group and expand operations. ;) EDIT : And this LOL!

    My lfe on the 100 slot server.

    So I was able to get on the 100 player server premiere night. The video is 10 minutes, if that's too long for you, here's the summary.Spawned hungry, every house open, think I was in Kamy, drank too much water, met a person, ran for a while, puked, ran some more, all doors open, found pantless freaks, joined them, tried to steal an axe, got knocked out, opted to die.

    Ive been banned! (dont know where to post)

    The steam profile I found seems to jive with the story too. It's a new profile with only the aforementioned games on it and total hours are low and equal total hours played for the last 2 weeks. i think it's fair to LOCK or delete this thread. That's just my opinion.

    Ive been banned! (dont know where to post)

    I did a google search too. I searched for "mrpow dayz" (no quotes) and got a user name attached to a steam profile that plays dayz and the dayz mod and has one VAC ban on record as of 6 days ago. Just saying.

    Ive been banned! (dont know where to post)

    I'll go out on a limb here and say that it takes a long time to upload a video to youtube. But I'm not holding my breath. Just trying to give the OP an opportunity to come clean about his issue or not without portraying a bad community.

    Ive been banned! (dont know where to post)

    Grab your cell phone or something to record video. Then record your computer screen from the time you start steam to the point you get an error. Make sure it is still and clear. Upload to YouTube, provide link. Also, if you give us your steam name (don't worry, people share that all the time) we can see your profile and if you have any VAC bans.

    If you get shot at what do you do?

    I will run away dodging until I locate the shooter then engage. If I can't locate, I run until the shots stop then circle back.
  24. I'll be in tonight. And on TS as well. Let's see if we can't get a large group together... Although proly not, it is Thursday evening, but I have no work tomorrow!

    Anyone use Shadowplay to record their dayz action?

    That's a load of crap - Read this - http://us.hardware.info/reviews/4178/10/hardwareinfo-tests-lifespan-of-samsung-ssd-840-250gb-tlc-ssd-updated-with-final-conclusion-final-update-20-6-2013 And the false info coming from this thread - is where the source is - Read the 9th reply for a break down of why that is crap. http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/en/forum/threadview/2979150493748182650/ - Why it's crap info you are spreading - "So let's calculate the lifespan. We consider the first uncorrectable error to be the end of the SSD. For the first one that was after 764 TiB of written data, and for the second one that was after 768 TiB of written data. That the two failed so close together could indicate that the lifespan of the Samsung 840 SSDs is fairly constant. However, two SSDs aren't representative of the thousands that are out there. If we take the 764 TiB and an average of 10 GiB of writes per day, we arrive at a lifespan of 214 years. Keep in mind that we sequentially write and fill the SSD which gives us write amplification factor of only 1.04 or 1.05. That's the difference between the write commands sent to the SSD and the writes executed by the SSD internally. The general assumption is a WAF of around 3.0 for normal consumer use with SSDs that don't employ compression tricks. That translates to a lifespan of 75 years. Even when you push an SSD to the max by downloading lots of movies everyday up to an average of 30 GiB per day, the SSD will still last you 24 years. Nomatter how you use it, it will last longer than the period you plan on using it (most people like to add more capacity after a certain time). A functional lifespan of 10 years is already unusually high for a storage medium. With an average lifespan of 75 years for the TLC memory chips, consumers have absolutely nothing to worry about. It doesn't mean the SSD will actually last 75 years, but the number of available write cycles will not be the bottleneck. That means we will amend our conclusion from a couple months ago. A Samsung 840 SSD with TLC memory is just as reliable as SSDs with MLC memory, and the type of memory should not be a reason to choose one SSD over another."
