@Jimmy tyvm :) @some others, simply telling OP to go play Cod etc is not good enough. I expect more from *my* posters. If you disagree and even if OP become belligerent, keep your arguments away form the stupidity of memery. Debate/discuss even argue. Do not insult/dismiss. L

In smaller teams where things can be very fluid, it's tough to nail down a set time and especially things like streams, whereas a post can be made from a laptop/phone/pad etc at that person's convenience.

Here again you have pointed something that I have grizzled about. I don't think a dedicated role is needed but it should be part of *someones* job descriptor to spend 10/15 mins once a week writing a mini post to the forums (which can then be diluted down to twitter/reddit/snail mail etc.) detail a rough description of what the team's been up too. Nothing in detail, just a paragraph or two on what folk have been working on, even if its work on AI elephants that's now binned or that the network was down, so the week was spent brainstorming at the local cafe. Not a dev blog, but a general quick update. That would enhance the feeling that stuff is happening and would give some insight into the workings of a small dev team like this. See? I can be critical too :) L

I agree with this part whole heartedly.

Hello there OP I understand your point and indeed the SA may not be the game for you. But for many others it will be a *hardcore* survivalist game for those that don't want full load outs and 200+ vehicles. The mod will continue and will likely copy stuff from the SA and will continue to cater for those who want a more casual experience and shades of grey in between. Lets see how Rocket pushes the game in development and then lets decide whether its a damp squib or not.. Rgds LoK

Inga, you're doing a great job. dont stop. @sausage i zink ve are clearly both very vell adjusted in our mental attitudes today L

Hello there Firstly, @Rhinocrunch. I offered you a chance to have a chat about what you thought was wrong, but that was ignored. That's a shame, but I think you have your mind made up and I dont think we'll be able to alter your views. The offer remains open though. @Herbster I understand your point completely but do not agree. Once one becomes a mod, in my opinion, one has to watch what one says and how one behaves on the forum compared to being an average user as we are representing the board and as you pointed out because of our station our opinions can be taken as fact/gospel truth. On the whole we do a fine job, sometimes standards will slip, as we are human and are indeed just volunteers. If I were paid to do this full time you would see a major shift towards "professionalism" in my hours on the board and attitude. This would be good in some ways and a loss in others. We do have quite a few mods who sit in the background and dont engage alot on the forums and others who like to wade in and almost act like community liasion officers, I like a good mix of the two, it makes the community feel involved and gives them a conduit to the devs. Whilst we do try to be good, we do make mistakes and can always be contacted by PM, or indeed one could "report" us or contact Griff/Boney or even Matt in a pinch to report less than stellar conduct. I believe the majority of users would prefer mods who engage with them than a completely anonymous police force who just rule the boards. Lastly, I think we "public" mods add some character to the boards and targets for people to love and hate. For example, I know there's lots of folk who cant stand me, both here and on reddit, *hugs* to you all, but I also know there's folk who find me tolerable and I find that sweet. *pokes in the eyes* for you lot. I think that if we as mods are generating debate without doing anything outlandish or controversial then that's also good for the boards. Also, dont think we are all fanbois either, I love critical debate and I think that's an important reason for the boards existence. I've been vocal for and against some issues of the mod/SA. As long as we do it in a mature and intelligent way then its all good. I'd prefer to be an active part of the community and I personally would miss it if it were any other way. Rgds LoK I've just thought of a perfect analogy : Bar staff. Would you prefer folk who just serve you beer like a macDonalds lackey, or someone you can chat to? They still have to behave to fit in with their surrounds but can essentially be themselves. It's the same with us.

Also, perhaps look at your gfx drivers. It is usually solveable.

Hello there We do not give or deal with bans. Please visit www.battleye.com for more info. Rgds LoK PS read stickies and search the forum for the info you need.

We have plenty of time. What would you like to discuss? (If I goto sleep, I'm sure others will assist). I've only skimmed the last couple of pages but the gist I get is that you are unhappy the release date is pushed back? Again as I have said in other posts, when was there ever a firm date? There was Rockets Personal date, where he would have thought he had "failed" if he had not released the game by xxxx (waay back). Nothing official though. I mean this as a debate, so lets keep it civil folks. L

Hello there, That would be a comment from me too. I think that one needs to really look at real life composition/design styles of cans/containers etc to get a truly real feel. Also, wear and tear/crumples/crinkles/dents are key. I still think its a great effort though.

Hello there I think we need to wait for further info before acting on anything. I have faith in Rocket and his "vision" for the game, I dont believe he would "sell out" and damage the game. Let's wait for him to get back and have had a rest before we start making assumptions. Chat about it? Yeah but dont think anything is set in stone, no matter what you hear unless it's from him or his immediate team. Rgds LoK

more proof for the other doubting thomas'

Hello there, Anything adding to the complexity of sniping is a great idea. That way not everyone is a 1337 sniper, it may not be 100pc realistic but it adds a great sense of realism which for me is super. The more pseudo realism the better. Rgds LoK

an OFP version was also released for consoles, so it's not unheard of. L

Hello there Posting rants without replying to the questions you have been asked is no help. Reply or I'll simply lock this thread. Rgds LoK

Hello there I would think a console version is almost inevitable. This does not mean it will be the same as the PC version. And unless R steps back I don't think it will impact to heaviliy on the PC development. I would not worry unduly. Rgds LoK

but *might* means there's a chance. There's no chance. Not as things stand. It's best not to guess as those guesses soon gather momentum and cause issues down the line. There's a set pricing model, and that's what will be used. Gotta rely on those supplied facts. L

Nope. where'd you get that info? As Boney pointed out Google/Search tools are your friends. We've been over the pricing model countless times both here and on many news outlets. Rgds LoK

That's why I shoot gentlemen. No place for chivalry currently in DAYZ. SVD for me in DAYZ and Arma. I adore it. Rdgs LoK

Why stupid? Their server, their rules surely? L

Right, If you guys are going to just insult each other Ill start handing out infractions. Disucss your issues like grown ups. Rgds LoK

Hello there As the others have pointed out, the crossbow is already in and there have been a number of discussions on bows etc throughout the forum. Have a search for any info you need, and guys, lets not be elitist, and guide the new folk rather than berate them. Rgds LoK

Rage gives sage advice. BE are the ones who hand out bans.

Hello there Update your battleye install, this helped other users with the same issue. Rgds LoK
