The first time I saw a 50 cap server in Standalone! Others may have seen them before but I've only ever seen 40 max. I personally felt that 40 was a bit to small for the huge map and am excited to see an increase in the number of players. I'm sure i haven't seen more than 40 before and quite a few 30 caps due to server quality and performance optimization. What do you guys think would be the optimal player cap for the map if performance wasn't an issue? I was thinking somewhere about 60, but perhaps more players isn't better.. on one hand it might make for more role playing and fun interaction and on the other it might make it more of a team death match... which gets old fast.

Dean did say that there will be a total of 24 experimental servers up in the next few days plus the stable is here in like 3 days anyway. https://twitter.com/rocket2guns/status/425677111215415296

Anything goes. I'm not on board this KOS is bad train. Maybe there role playing as mass murderers? Doing what ever the heck you want in a post apocalyptic zombie infested world is what DayZ is all about.

What was the helmet pristine? Someone correct me if im wrong but I think it only protects you if its pristine any of the other qualities provide 0 protection I believe.

You can get DayZ mod here currently https://www.humblebundle.com/weekly for 6$. The Mod has a lot more stuff in it atm but the standalone is going to eventually have more in it than the mod. You can find the DayZ standalone here http://store.steampowered.com/app/221100/?snr=1_7_7_151_150_1

Love this game XD

Learn to be sneaky and see them before they see you. XD Whether your a KOS'er or not you need to always have an advantage in every player to player interaction. If you don't have an advantage you should avoid that interaction at all costs! I spent 20 min today hiding in a bush with no gear stalking 4 guys with M4's until they went the direction away from where i was going for instance. Also players don't ruin the game; players are what makes DayZ fun and exciting. If you die so much in DayZ that you no longer want to play then you need to get better or quit. Its blunt but true. I think the problem with people complaining about other players and things like KOS's is that games in the past several years have held everyone's hands the whole time so that "Everyone is a winner". Well frankly I'm glad DayZ is not like that otherwise it would be a boring grind fest for no reason. Hope you get better and stick around, otherwise farewell. "Game is Hard" Edit: PVE is not allowed in DayZ and it is clearly stated that any server that tries to enforce PVE will be shut down.

Just implement the already existing humanity system from dayzMod http://dayz.gamepedia.com/Humanity which i expect will happen anyway since its already part of dayz. I expect standalone to be at its core an exact copy of dayzmod with extra features, better interaction and better graphics. Obviously it may not be implemented but I hope it is.

They Already have this in the mod for Survivors, Hero's, and Bandits and its called your humanity score - http://dayz.gamepedia.com/Humanity . So to say you hope they never put that in is ridiculous because its already in. I'm pretty sure the plan is to port everything over from the mod and the humanity system is probably one of the coolest things that they can port over. Taking that one step further and detecting if your a medic is an amazing idea and i hope they look at this suggestion. Though i don't think it should be based upon what you have in your inventory it should be a derivative of the already implemented humanity system where it is based off of what you have done. Also for your information this is in the mod and will be probably included as it is part of the humanity system, "When one looks at a bandit at close range, a heartbeat should be audible; the faster and louder the heartbeat, the more murders the bandit has committed recently."

If you want the DayZ mod you can get all the required games (arma 2 and expansion) + 7 others in the current humble bundle for about 6$. The stand alone which this forum is for is 30$ and is in alpha as you can clearly see by looking around the site.

WOOT! thanks guys, keep up the hard work!. Only thing that I'm sad is not in this patch is combat logging fix =/ it really is a problem.

I don't think you can grief in Dayz... KOS is a play style for some people and im ok with that. I play friendly until I or another player is shot at. I try to play as "hero" and defend people. That being said I don't trust anyone EVER. I run with the assumption that everyone is a KOS'er until proven differently. If your not ok with friendlies, KOS'ers, and everything in between; and you consider any of this griefing then this game will probably never be for you. You know having the whole spectrum including kos'ers is what makes DayZ fun. Its unpredictable and exciting that way. The goal is to be authentic, Yes?!?!

Nice gun fight. lol don't know why you called it pve though...
