Splendid. Sterling stuff Amberhelios. Nice community work. You get a *speacial* "'LoK Lick"! *lick* There you go. Wasn't that nice? L

Hello there I wouldn't take the April 1st as set in stone. Anything could happen. It's more than likely we will have something to play with before then, but things do go wrong in the real world. I'm erring on the side of caution perhaps a little too much, but even if the SA had to go on hold for some reason it would not be the death of the game. Yes, there would be a great wailing and gnashing of teeth but there would still be alot of folk who'd grab it whenever it was released. As long as the dev's don't do a Duke Nukem, then I'll be happy. L

I'm sure of the word....are you sure of the saying? :)

I'm out of beans so you get a special muffin from me. L

You don't want to ruin a perfectly good PC. L

Hello there K3lt! we were talking about you the other day. Just to clarify, I don't get paid. I wish I did. You chaps and chapesses don't see half of what we have to deal with. But, on the whole, I enjoy the community and am glad to be able to be a help to it. Lastly, as you know, my *sigh* was down to your incorrect factoids. We're not chasing that particular rabbit again.

Hello there I'm an odd one. My reasons for going private are solely down to hackers. But I almost exclusively play on pub servers. My head hurts. L

sigh.

Hello there This old chestnut again, eh? I would like to stop voice coms over side as they can be trolled tooo much. However I do like side chat as an OOC/general chat room. It would be nice to be able to turn it off it I dint want to see random chat cluttering up my screen or distracting me. Rgds LoK

Ditto. Utter noob here. In Arma2 regular missions PVP or COOP I hold my own very well thank you. In DAYZ I'm a shambling panicking mess of a human being. Rgds LoK

Quite an astounding post. Is this what you PM'ed me about and told me "not to hide the truth?" Your "facts" are wrong and you are basing the effects on yourself not the community as a whole. I personally would love to remove 3rd person. But it is staying AFAIK. In fact I have argued for it even though it's "not my thing". Dev's made the game for cash and not fun? Even if this were 100pc true, what would be the problem? Almost everything that you enjoy is created for profit. If a console version is created it most likely will be streamlined. It wont affect the PC version. Also, it most likely wouldn't happen till after the full SA release, if at all. We don't hate you, although we may find your comments odd and a bit exciteable. If the SA turns out to be "sucks" then I too will avoid it as many other folk would. I really would not worry unduly. As to your fear of censoring, you'll be treated like any other member of the forum, there is no conspiracy here. Rgds LoK

Hello there I would like to see more survivalist methods of foraging. Dew gathering or carrying water in a condom and a sock for example. Etc etc. Rgds LoK

Hello there The pedant in me forces me to point out the saying is "something is amiss". Apologies... I don't feel anything in my water. I don't think anything is coming *that* soon. L

Hacking will never be "solved" but rather curbed to a large extent. L

On the whole, not really something to joke about...

Hello there I like most of your ideas. however whilst I really like the "taking care of associates" idea, It must not come at a cost to those who solo. Benefits for caring, but no penalties for being a lone wolf. As to the engine being "clunky", is that not down to the animations and how they are handled? I too would like to see more fluid avatar control. EDIT: although in all aspects of the game there should be benefits to teamowork, I don't like to be forced (or forcing anyone) into having to team up or down any route for that matter. The choice should be ours. Rgds LoK

Hello there 1. the SA is not delayed or cancelled. There was a hope that an Alpha would be out by Xmas, but this was only the lead dev's personal target. 2.The SA is entirely separate to the MOD. Yes, if you want to play the SA you will have to buy it. If you want to play A2CO and perhaps the mod then you will have to buy that. 3.There is no release date set. 4.The MOD is free and will remain so. 5.AFAIK there are no MMO type charge plans. I biased, but I would buy both. A2 for now and the next few months (plus all the other amazing mods) and then the SA when it comes out. I hope this helps. Rgds LoK

Hello there I agree AND disagree about the maps. :) I agree that they have bought a heck of a lot to the basic mod. But, I think Chernarus+ is plenty big enough IF the game mechanics are there. I've been playing in Chernarus since A2's release and for me still has alot of suprises. If the gameplay were identical in the SA I would agree we need maps to spice things up. Now, I too would like to see new/"classic" maps imported into the SA, but not just yet. It's a small dev team and although they could open some of the source to mod makers it's just more "stuff" to worry about. Once the SA is in a stable state, an idea of what we would be able to mod AND the pipeline to achieve it would be great. Rdgs LoK

Hello there I think, if anything people are expecting way too much too soon. When the SA is released, I believe folk will be hoping for a fully polished working game rather than a beta and many will be disappointed. Wrongly disappointed, but that's my prediction. Folk who actually read what's being put out and live in the real world will have a more realistic view but there will be complaints. L

Auto aim? Crikey! Be glad you posted that here and not on the BiS forums...

I44 also has some "neat" gameplay mechanics, such as "weapon resting" which I adore.

Hello there Like you, I also do not care a whit. Be constructive and that's fine. Criticisms need to be made. Just be pleasant and then others will be pleasant to you. Having an opposing view does not mean one needs to become rude. Rgds LoK

Everyone knows women don't exist on the internet. Especially on a gaming forum.

FYI, whilst IFL is somewhat "closed" the devs will include user made content in patches is the quality is good enough. If you had the permission from the appropriate parties something could be attempted. To go the I44 way would be simpler, but again you need permission. Permission! seek it. Rgds LoK

Hello there I would be fine have a dayz sans Infected. It's the persistence and rp tech that I like. But I havn't voted as I also don't purely PVP. Rgds LoK
