Hello there IMHO the game is far better not using the external map. The easiest place to find useable weapons is/are barns. Plus, they are common and not always near built up areas/hunting zones. rgds LoK

Hello there Read all the appropriate stickies and check the info at the BE site. There's 2 main reasons for a GB. 1. you or someone using your PC scripted 2. you or someone using your PC downloaded a key stealer disguised as another program (a DAYZ optimiser for example) If it's a non legit ban BE will overturn it. But those are rare. rgds LoK

Hello there I've just read the article. Must be a slow news day. Also, I don't see how one can delay something without an official release date. (Although I can see how some "missread" it :) ). AFAIK, before the end of the year was DH's personal target. And if he missed it he'd be Peed off with himself. But that doesn't factor in real life happenings/health/business delays/redtape etc. I "guestimate" a feb release, but that's my hunch feeling (no basis whatsoever) and that's just down to it being the holiday season. But, I do want it, and I want it now! Rgds LoK

Well, look at it this way, after the dark comes the new dawn and then a bright new day. Believe me, I'm chomping at the bit as much as anyone.

BIS do have a habit of putting out some esoteric hints towards their recent game releases, so it may point to *something*

Hello there Ahh I see what you mean, you mean a kind of mini demo. This unfortunately would still take time as a separate "fork" which in turn would have to be factored into cost. The original arma demo also ran far better than the full release due to it's scale, so whilst I do actually agree with your thoughts, I can see "possible" flaws. But It is a nice idea. Rgds LoK

it's all part of the plan......

Unless it was made by a third party for free and endorsed "globally" it would a. most likely push prices up and b. be open to exploitation. L

You don't think we socialise with Griff do you? Crikey, give us some credit :)

DON'T expect an entirely new game, rather a refined version of the mod. This is my opinion, I know as much as you do. But I do expect the game to evolve and grow as I understand that's the model they are using. L

Illuminati at work again. We now split up threads due to the recent slowdowns you may have noticed. This method eases that somewhat. As to mods posting in old threads, we sometimes forget that we can post in locked threads, so one might assume it was the mod continuing the thread not realising it had be closed (a guess). Having something moved is no biggie, if its an important thread it will be in the whats new chart at a high level. So in other words dont worry! L

Cummon just run and meet up, it's not like you have to use a treadmill to move your avatar.

ah in that case try the thread below, that's the correct place :) http://dayzmod.com/f...un-it-ask-here/ All these questions belong and will be answered there. Rgds LoK

WARZ or DAYZ? they have different specifications. Rgds LoK

Hello there Yes and no. If the server doesn't run BE then you will be able to play. But, the amount of decent servers without BE switched on is minimal or they are usually full of scripting scum. It's doubtful there are many, if any, wasteland servers without BE due to scripters. There ARE a few coop ones, where scripting wont give an advantage but those are usually heavily admin'd and any tomfoolery is usually dealt with by a local ban. So, if you have changed your ways, your choices are very limited indeed and from now on you really will have to watch your step. Plus, we have your IP. :) Rgds LoK

Hello there Also map size alone doesn't matter, it's how many players are on it at once. (does that sound like an euphemism?) rgds LoK

Hello there Rooneye is correct, the later versions of dayz grey out the SP button, due to the civvies being replace by non agressive zeds. Simply disable the mod and you're free to play CO in all its glory yet again. Rgds LoK

Dont forget the BIS Duo in a greek lockup, there's ways of assisting them I believe (if not cash then with a bit of your time)

tolerated fraggle, tolerated...

Hello there Use a third party "approved" prog like "play with Sis" Dayz comander etc it makes things far more simple. (search the forum.) Rgds LoK ooops "Play with SIX"

This is my way of getting you lot to play more vanilla Arma......I've been working for BiS all this time! bwahahahahaha muhuhahahahah *cough*hahahahaha. L

Closed thread due to size, chum. Only reason. L

Hello there Although the game should work with 8, how well does it work? According to the Bis forums the game prefers XP over 7 so although it may well work on 8 will it suffer or will it run more efficiently? thoughts? Rgds LoK

Hello there I agree that there should always be a line of communication open even if it is to say "nothing's progressed" (even though there's usually something to comment on, no matter how trivial). But, we have to remember the move from a mod to an entirely separate game. The dev team may be under very tight rules/nda's etc we just don't know. As was posted earlier DH hasn't been completely silent, but some folk may have missed his post/reddit/tweet etc and misconstrued that as no info coming forth. Remember that the Mod is now under community dev and there are several .nu servers hosting new builds. So things are moving forwards there. Now, perhaps DH is damn close to a release, but suppose there's a few issues with the build. Does he say YES! SA for XMAS! and then possibly have to delay again due to an unforseen bug? That would cause merry hell. Especially with the WARZ fiasco. The Warz thing will have had an impact, maybe large, maybe small but it will have had an impact on the team. Perhaps pausing them to think about "measuring twice and cutting once." to make sure the media don't try to find any similarity of release. Not the greatest example but you can hopefully see my point. I've just woken up, so bear with me. Again, I'm seeing the word "lie" crop up. AFAIK there are no "lies". Perspective is a wonderful thing. rgds LoK

Hello there There may be larger maps that have smaller areas ringed off, but the smallest physical Island map I'm aware of is Utes as the others point out. But using a bit of arma's magic one can limit the areas one can travel to on any map, so areas could be "ring fenced" on any map leaving even smaller areas. Oh, is not the zagrabad map tiny? how about the PMC environs? Rgds LoK
