@Goggalor I've just noticed your sig. I *must* remember that people can see what I type. Rgds LoK

Hello there I dont see how this will help but I get around 20-25. Rgds LoK

Hello there Thanks for your review, but I think you have stumbled a couple of times and folk here will pick up on these issues. Firstly one cannot compare wow and Dayz. They are literally worlds apart. Secondly you say that you are not "a rookie". Being a rookie is not a bad thing, but your limited experience with the engine/game/mod shows that you are indeed "a rookie". That's not a bad thing though. You also have to remember "asinine" issues like an axe in a stump that's not retrievable is hardly game breaking and simply reflects the mods roots as a milsim. The majority of your other issues seem to be down to a lack of real knowledge of how to play the game in an advantageous way, but that will come with time and effort. It *is* an unforgiving game and that's why many of us like it. Now, some ideas like being able to collect water in empty cans is a good idea and you should whack a post in the suggestions area. The Zed balancing is also down to taste. I too think they should be an immediate threat but not have the will to engage in a marathon chase. But each to their own. It sound to me like you might like a customised server which adds many weapons and equipment. For me I like being able to find anything useful a tough experience. Rdgs LoK

@jackieboy, this isn't a discussion about l33t skillz rather a recruitment thread. Try to keep discussions to the appropriate threads please. Rgds LoK

Closing this thread. *keeping eyes on OP* Dont insult other members, please. It's against the rules and damn rude. Also, if someone is offensive use the "report button" dont take matters into your own hands as it only causes lengthy pointless argument threads. *keeping eyes on sarkasm0* Lastly rather than us keeping OP up to date, why not use the many threads and dev sites and do the work yourself?

Hello there This is the old issue of what does one *really* loose when one dies? And what are the consequences. It's a difficult one and many have opposing views. It's also difficult to envisage any real solution for the SA as we dont know fully what mechanics are in place other than a general overview. SO one mechanic that works with the mod might be rendered useless with the SA. Regardless, the initial point of roguelikes / perma death is that almost every choice and decision takes forethought as making the *wrong* choice results in unfortunate events for the user. For me, this is what's missing from many servers. In game I'm not scared of a user with a revolver and 3 rounds but in real life I would be. If I lose an AK, Im not fussed, I know I can go to a certain spawn and most likely avoid people and get another AK or similar which will enable me to kill and loot another player. Then "pop" I'm kitted fully out again. We need to find a way to make it a hard decision whether to enter into combat or trips to the airfield more than a shopping trip. This means that the effort one puts in to get kitted out becomes important to one and not something to quickly fritter away. The *cooldown* lockout timer IMHO is a flawed idea although it is regularly suggested. I liked Dreygar's idea of losing *knowledge* but dont think its an entire solution on it own. Player life value is really tricky as this is neither a "shooter" nor a fully fledged "MMO" but sits oddly between the two. If someone can come up with a foolproof solution to this you could make a few quid out of it. Rgds LoK

I do that *all* the time in any FPS. Im astounded no other game has picked that mechanic up from Arma.

shhhhhhhh! don't let them know! Trivia: Note the misspelling of my name one of my first appearances in 1981.

Hello there Can you post a screenshot of your code error? Im not clear on it. It'll help us know if its a CBL kick. Rdgs LoK

hmmm looking into my shady past eh? My reference was not aimed at your little proggies rather at the OP with regard to an alter ego, although one should always be wary of any application. Amber Helios is trustworthy......to a degree :) Rgds LoK

Hello there The xml will only show up if the server is set up to use it and many vehicles etc do not support it. Rgds LoK P.s. Stay away from "performance boosters"...

Hello there bc8829c7d71e01918ead7d6b8262cf00 <----- THAT is your problem. That guid, if one quickly enters it into google, has been kicking around for some time and is on many ban lists. Are you *sure* you recently bought a new copy from steam? Completely sure? 'Cos they *will* know. If so, talk to steam, there's a tiny tiny chance someone has been given the same unique ID as you.We cannot help you directly here. Rgds LoK

Hello there We cannot assist you Im afraid. We have nothing to do with the ban process. Check my sig for appropriate links. Rgds LoK

Hello there Good man! btw my battery really *is* about to go :) Rgds LoK

Hello there The forum only recognises a few places to display images from. This is to stop me posting my "special interest" pics. Photobucket and imgur are but two that are allowed. My battery is about to die but I'll dig out the full list for you one im plugged in, unless another helpful thing like Rage posts the full list of "whitelisted" imagehosts. Rgds LoK

Now, like some other folk, that IS a bugbear of mine! You're mean to me. L

You, my dear thing, have just opened up a can of worms.....

Hello there I dont really mind the clip vs mag issue. Its as old as the hills and will never be resolved. I hate folk saying Xerox when they mean photocopy. There's loads of 'em out there. Plus, remember the english language is a fluid thing and does change over time, if enough people refer to that thing as a clip, no matter how incorrectly it eventually becomes called that thing. I accidently typed "clip" when referring to a "magazine" into the Bis forums recently and got insta told off by a fellow member, ho hum! In real life I don't think you'd get confused if i had an AKM and asked for you to pass me a clip. Although if that did happen I think we'd both be wondering a) why I had a weapon and ammo and B) why you were in my room. Rgds LoK

hello there If its a laptop, is it throttling down your CPU to save energy? Give it a google, I know it can be combated but there is risk vs reward. Rgds LoK

Hello there on Weds I actually looked at the clouds above my garden and thought "nice volumetrics". Too much toh and a3 for me. Rgds LoK

Hello there Please do not make posts like this. Its not helpful to the thread and is in fact spamming. We dont like spam. It can result in a ban. Green eggs and ham. Please make useful informative posts. Rgds LoK

Hello there I'm sure the dev's and BiS do have a marketing strategy in mind. But it may be a stealth strategy. Also making "commercials" cost a lot of cash and they may not have the marketing budget for that. The internet is such a "viral" environment, even if they released quietly tomorrow, such is the popularity of dayz that their sales would be quite impressive in the first month. Would I like to see a commercial? Yup! will it happen world wide? I doubt it. Although my best mate makes television commercials for a living so if someone would like to fund one.... Rgds LoK

Hello there If you want to add a bucket load of gameplay and weapons to your arma experience the DLC's a definitely worth it. I highly recommend them. Rgds LoK

Ahhh the old automatic revolver. I bought this one up quite a while ago. Only me and Zardoz use 'em Rgds LoK

Hello there This has been covered in depth before I'm afraid. Rgds LoK
