Hello there My advice is to buy CO. If you play solely for DAYZ you are mission out on a vast wealth of amazing gameplay/mods/gametype (indeed, other zombies). Don't just play one mode, play them all. Jump on in the water's fine. rgds LoK

Commas man! Commas! Am I mad? I'm Livid! I hate to sound like an old fogey, but DAYZ felt fun when it was the occasional bandit and the rest were helping each-other survive. Oh, well. Can't go back in time. Rgds LoK

ArmA 2 engine for DayZ's future?
OrLoK replied to VaultDweller (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
FYI Dogs have been around for ages in arma. rgds LoK -
Hello there FYI any released DLC stuff is included in the latest patches (or as a dl) albeit as a LITE version, so if (and there would be no point) DAYZ moved to one of the Czech army maps everyone could play. Lingor, as others have stated is a User made map. I assume when folk say it was ported from JA they actually mean inspired by JA. Rgds LoK

Hello there Never start a sentence with "so". Arghhhhhhhh! That's my rant. Also, its not the snipers that annoy, its the amount of them. But I do agree with the jist of your post rgds LoK

i thought I "/thread"-ed this? hmm rgds LoK

Hello there Simple solution. Put all the gear they gave you onto a dead body and click on hide body. Job done. Rgds LoK

What exactly is Lingor Island ?
OrLoK replied to Spidey (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Hello there Lingor? No cover? Much of it is very jungle like, one can only assume you were in a "desert" type area. The amount of loot, for me was also fine, if not a bit too common. rgds LoK -
So How Many Have Stoped Playing DayZ?
OrLoK replied to LumberBack's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Hello there I'm sure there was another very similar poll here the other day. oh, well. I've stopped playing the latest build (at the moment) until i find a way to play SP again. (although i am having a blast in SP on Lingor with an older version) I'll go back to MP and proper testing when the influx of script kiddies has died down a little. rgds LoK -
Congratulations Community, You have become scum.
OrLoK replied to bloodjackal77's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Hello there It's never been exclusively pinned down here or on the Bis forums. It may not be a 100pc way of script detection but it's a damn good indicator. I've seen it in Iron Front (no helos) and on a no plane mission. But there were fishy goings on. Proof? No, but a good indicator. rgds LoK -
I AM QUITING THIS PARODY OF A GAME
OrLoK replied to Blackhammer18's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
hello there Why so many ego posts? If you are going to leave, fine. if you are going to stay, fine Why on earth do you think anyone here would give a hoot? So many pointless threads getting in the way of testing this mod and giving constructive feedback. *Grump* rgds LoK -
How to know which houses are salvageable?
OrLoK replied to Slackin's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Hello there The key thing is if a building is enterable is usually will have loot. But, it may have been recently looted, or just spawned empty or tins etc. Also, I find if I drive to a lootable building, the engine doesn't keep up and the building will be empty for a while, so one has to walk away for a bit and return in a few mins to find lovely loot. Hope this helps Rgds LoK -

at OP. meh. rgds LoK -
Hacked weapons and players : A public service
OrLoK replied to tandwan's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Hello there This has been covered upteen times before. What is needed is a big dollop of common sense. Yes, there are "rules" but I doubt that the devs would stop you banning someone who was creating havok on ones server. (crashing it for eg) But one has to think before one acts. rgds LoK -
Hello there A wonderful idea. You win everything. /troll thread. rgds LoK

Collecting Masks to give players easier to program quests
OrLoK replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Hello there This is actually quite easy to implement and indeed is in several User made arma missions. As to masks, an interesting idea, not a key one though IMHO. rgds LoK -
Hello there Generally (not all cases though) everyone in DAYZ can see any marker you put down, they cannot however see your location. (unless you've been visually spotted and the location isn't reliable) rgds LoK

This game is being completely Dominated by hackers.
OrLoK replied to coolster4001's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Hello there A bit of a long winded report FYI, mainly what is needed is just the final paragraph or so. All reports are good IMHO as they can be used to detect trends, even if they cannot be tackled directly. Keep up the good work, just keep it concise. rgds LoK -
Hello there There should be no time limit on how many hours a nublet should spend before being allowed to play. I do agree though that the user should do some research before purchasing a game, I always find out about a game before I buy, perhaps other folk have money to burn? I think the zigging zombies are daft as any animal brain with go for the shortest rout to their prey, zigzagging is an avoidance tecnique not an attack one. Lastly, with the glut of hand holding console-esque games on the market it's not surprising people find A2 such a culture shock. Rgds LoK

Who would want a fully passworded server?
OrLoK replied to james222's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Hello If I have to spend a couple of minutes joining a forum of a unit to get the pass to a secure server, I don't find it an issue. I'd rather jump through one hoop and have a hack free experience than be plagued by SC's. Also *IF* BE/Bis are working on security fixes, it's going to take time to have a robust system in place. I doubt they are ignoring it completely. rgds LoK -
how do i go in to thirdperson mode on a laptop?
OrLoK replied to tjerk999's topic in New Player Discussion
Hello there The keybind you are looking for is "Toggle View" Be aware that 3rd person can be turned off via a server setting so occasionally you may not be able to use it. Most DAYZ servers keep 3rd person open but in A2 its quite common to have it disabled. Rgds LoK -
Hello there Firstly, posting threads with misleading/no descriptive titles is bad form. Just FYI. Secondly, the best thing to do is download Arma2Free and see if that runs well on your machine, this will give you a good guestimate of whether your existing rig can handle DAYZ. Good Luck rgds LoK

Hello there Visible map markers are a legacy thing left over from arma. Essentially your avatar is a PMC (now rescripted to Survivor) and according to the game logic is on the same side as every other survivor. I personally use the map to point out good loot for other players and as bandit warnings. Although in this case its quite amusing, Map spamming is generally frowned upon and seen as a childish, irritating thing to do. Markers will appear on a map if they have been jotted down whilst you are in game. If you join after they have been placed you wont see them. I hope this helps Rgds LoK

B.I. doesn't give a shit about you...
OrLoK replied to YouCan'tGetRidOfMe's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Hello all Ignoring OP for a moment, lets assume that what was stated was true. That the lead dev's truely didn't care about Arma. If this is the case, what changes? Nothing. Arma has been quite well looked after all these years and if the devs are not bothered then I'm still happy as i'm getting adequate support, regular patches and DLC's I wish all devs cared as little as Bohemia about their games. Rgds LoK -
Hello there Kind of true I suppose. I apologise :) rgds LoK (oops linked wrong quote earlier)
