It's interesting that no one uses Ventrilo, and hardly anyone on Mumble considering they are essentially the same service as TS (and mumble appears to be fairly cheaper).

Haha no I gave an option for "none" right at the bottom and asked for strong opinions / preferences to be made clear :p

Haha yeah i scrolled up and saw lol

Okay you have a fair point that it's not ridiculously implausible to find these, but these should be incredibly rare items. It shouldn't become like the mod where everyone is running around with these foreign weapons that just shouldn't be around in that quantity. And as said above, it doesnt match the look and feel of the game so far and I doubt players would want to see these. But also, I used the term anachronistic as the weapons you are suggesting all appear very very modern whilst a very basic, backward east bloc country would likely be many decades behind technology wise. Just look at how they all use russian vehicles designed in the mid cold war. So I was applying "anachronistic" in this case to emphasise how these weapons just don't look like they match up with the weapon style of the game, with an apparent "error in period" between the two, if you want to go super pedantic on me [sigh].

Dude, why would a soviet-bloc country have these American weapons? It's a bit anachronistic to propose these. I agree woth more rifles, but having just the m4 is pushing it for realism :/

Huh, never knew about that! learn something new everyday :p

How come your steam looks different? Can you change themes or something??

Got 420hrs so far. Got a little bored at around 200 and took a break (up till then had mostly lone-wolfed it). But when I came back I quickly met a bunch of cool guys and now we've formed a clan. Playing with others is a totally different experience and completely revitalises the whole game. Now I couldn't possibly think of how i'd get bored, despite all the calls from people to "go to the mod, it's way better". But yeah, couldn't recommend groups more.

Actually I am starting to stray more towards that behaviour too. If they have a firearm and I don't know them then it's pretty much KoS from there on in

I think the game must have April fooled him tbh...

Yeah if you're crazy enough to go round wearing creepy-as clown masks then you're surely up to no good. But that being said, they are quite a useful means of identification for a group (but the groups that worry most about this are likely organised to prepare to engage in combat, so potentially an increased threat). I'm like you, I usually avoid / kill anyone wearing them. Safest option.

Hey dude this sounds awesome! I've always wanted to see a good well made in-game story / movie. The live actions are all fun yes, but the acting is pretty embarrassing, like that one on youtube ---> But yeah in-game has the advantage over this kind of production. And I don't think I've found any particularly good ones on youtube so far (anyone got any to share?). Although I have little to offer besides what I've been told is a good Russian / eastern European accent, I would say that as a viewer I'd prefer something that was more story focused and had depth to it than something that was merely about action shots. We've all played DayZ (anyone who watches) and we've therefore all had some pretty good experience with in game combat so what I'd like to (and I reckon most others) would want would be less of this and more plot focus. When do you think this will be finished roughly? Anyways, good luck to you!

Also I'm not sure that you do get the penalty for joining the same server :/ When i log out of one by mistake or get connection lost and join it again immediately there's no penalty. And if it resets then same thing, no penalty. This is all having played under 30 mins...

If you had bad desync then anyone could have come in behind you and killed you without you knowing. Or if just a little bit of desync means some sounds sometimes dont make it to the client. This or you desynced through the floor :/

Actually, it's "Berezino", there's only one "N" ;) http://dayzdb.com/map/chernarusplus#6.119.062 http://dayz.gamepedia.com/Berezino

Okay well I've played 420hrs SA and still love every moment of it :p

Should it be made possible for players to use there gun while they are sitting down? This would be good firstly because I don't see why you couldn't in RL and secondly would allow for some awesome traps with people thinking that you've logged out, and then BOOOM. Would make players more cautious when just running up to players they've assumed have logged / combat logged. What do you think?

yeah it's a hack that is becoming very popular atm unfortunately :/

Actually quite a lot did, I myself did not though. If Im desperate for a dose of vehicles and bases then I just hop onto wasteland every now and then. But it's not all about that and I do prefer the feel of SA - not to mention, the mod's graphics are also much worse, so i prefer SA.

I really can't understand how people seem to think that the developers are holding back and just being lazy. The reason this is taking a long time is because they have been nice enough to let us into the alpha way before any AAA titles would call it "alpha". Just remember how long it took BF to develop BF3 after BF2 and the Bad Company spin-offs? And BF4, a perfect example of a game that was rushed (and also that is essentially just BF3 premium bundled into 1 game :P ). This time span is NORMAL based on the time they've been working on the game and how long it should realistically take in total. Come back later when the thing is finished. Don't complain when you've been gifted with SUPER-early access.

Yeah it is definitely the new Elektro, which is good in a way because it has better fps than elektro but a shame for the people who liked it as a sheltered urban environment (guess those guys will have to go further north now). I've hung around there since I started playing in late Jan. But now it's all the more loot to pick off corpses for me and my squad ;)

You must be doing it wrong because myself and tens of thousands of others are finding it very playable and very fun. What do you think makes it unplayable? Yes, there's the odd ladder glitch but you can still rectify the situation in most cases (like run back and pick up your gear).

No. You're fine. You and me and everyone who bought the basic have DayZ and will not have to buy it again. The supporter edition is kind of a rip off - you're paying like £40 just for a digital map and a poster or something like that.

Wowow, can you actually do that? I tried looking for FOV in the key bindings list but saw nothing...
