Hello there A quick FYI, Helo's are vunerable to LMG fire as well as heavy sniper rifles. rgds LoK (ps by "endgame" i ment more something to aim for after hitting the initial survival ceiling rather than an ummm ending of game)

meh. rgds LoK

Hello there Why not try the A2free version and see if that works ok for you? I cannot however advise you about that particular card. Rgds LoK

Hullo there Right lets get to brass tacks. The answers is "who knows"? If folk went and just got on with their own thing, I can only see it elongating the lifetime of the games. See Oblivion for eg. Appealing to more people will only result in more people wanting to play. I would play more if i had the option of a game other than PVP. However, watering down the core content to appeal to everyone woulkd be the wrong way to go. Does that make sense? (As in am I being clear? sorry am in a rush looking after my old folks :) ) Rgds LoK

Hello there, Ta for that Worrun :) @everyone else: Just to let you know, as a PVE player I wouldnt want anything changed from the core game, so nothing would affect the PVP community. PVE'rs are human too. Rgds LoK

In all aspects of the game :) rgds LoK

Hello there I think IMHO (as I believe has been stated before) that mil spec weapons should be a little more rare compared to standard hunting rifles, and indeed should be of mainly Eastern Bloc origin. But that would annoy those who love the Western weapons. Contradictingly, I find the exclusion of any weapon against the "sandbox" ethos of arma, if not dayz. Im a confusing person. Rdgs LoK

Hello Don't forget the Zoom out button to give you a config free wider field of view. Rgds LoK

Hullo there I've played many of the "zombie" mods for A2 and they mostly don't have the RPGesque elements DAYZ has. For eg I play Toxic's Wasteland and that's purely PVP. I also play Coop missions and also Solo, so I like the whole gamut of gaming within Arma. Same with DAYZ, sometimes I want to play in a human free environ, or with mods like JSRS/Blastcore/STmovement which I cannot do with vanilla DAYZ and then sometimes I want to play Standard. Each to their own. If there was a mix of PVE and PVP servers I'd play on both. Rgds LoK

Absolutely agree as everything stands at the moment. Rgds LoK

Oh, I wasn't trying to convince or argue, I have enlarged on my answers, if they are not deep enough Im happy to continue. Rgds LoK

So, its slow, pehaps that suits me better than L4D for eg. Why not this mod? Rgds LoK

Nope thats not what Im saying :) rgds LoK

Hello there I've always seen Arma as a sim "you play your way", so to me DAYZ is just another mod to add some spice to the game. I'm not here as much of a Zombie fan as I appreciate you chaps are, so I understand your reticance to alter the game from *your way* of playing. We also play minecraft differently, im a modded solo kind of chap. But, dont exclude me because I cant conform to your way and nor you mine. IF dayz became a dedicated 3rd person mod for eg, if I couldnt remod it back to 1st I would stop playing. Again each to their own. Im not trying to be conflicting but you chaps wanted to know, so Im giving my reasons. Rgds LoK

Hello there Regardless of how *I* have *fun*, even if I explained it, as we obviously have differing tastes I would never be able to convince you it's *fun*. It's like Hip Hop or Country and Western, some people like one, some like the other, some neither and some both. There are mainly PVE based (non hive) servers out there, so there is some need. Even if it doesnt become standard folk will just engineer their own way to have PVE. Rgds LoK PS the chap above has it correct about separating the two so no loot farming could occour.

Hello there I have an absolute blast playing SP DAYZ and there's no PVP in that. Sometimes I want to PVP, sometimes I want to PVE. If we have the choice we can all be happy. If PVE isn't in demand the servers will soon change back to PVP and visa versa. I see no issue, regardless of whether folk think it's "cannon" or not. Rgds LoK

Hello there Mostly i agree with you, I still do think they should be in the game, but hideously hard to get off the ground, and indeed, to keep in the air. As they stand, without nerfing, mili helos should be out but perhaps ONE civvie transport which the server could work towards rebuilding to reach the safety of the NE island as some kind of (i hate to use the term) "endgame"? Whatever, the helo's should be IMHO ultra rare and/or ultra difficult to maintain. Rgds LoK

Hello there Why not make it up to the server hosts and label them accordingly? Everyone happy then. Rgds LoK

Hello there FYI There are many civilian light planes and helos available in Arma2's units. Would be better if they were in. Rgds LoK

Hello there If, IF, this were real and I saw chaps wandering around the way the infected do, I would nickname them Zombies One could assume that in the DAYZ universe this may be the slang that became generally attributed to them before The Fall. On the other hand it doesn't really matter what they are called as the infected/zombies/mad ballroom dancers still try to kill you. Rgds LoK

Hello all Never give up. Never surrender. also, its a good idea to check out your keybinds as there's loads of obscure useful ones. Rgds LoK

Hello all I played on one of these yesterday and was mightily impressed. The community was a great mix of coop players and bandits. Global chat was on, the general feel was that of the earlier DAYZ community. Snipers were being spotted and hunted down, whilst hunting down the hunters. A good time was had by all. Refreshing. Rgds LoK PS the servers name, whilst I cannot remember if offhand, had the word "Irish" in the name.

Hello there Really ,really take time to explore those keybinds, there are loads of useful ones. It takes only a little effort but you will be rewarded. Rgds LoK

Hello there Unlike in films, car doors are awful at providing any real cover. An interesting idea, but not really in the spirit of the game. Actually, it's got zombies in so there goes my argument :) Still, car doors would be very difficult to maneuver whilst holding a main weapon. (don't anyone show me pics of the ww2 Russian armoured shield ,its not a car door :) ) At OP's post, um a leash is a bit floppy and wouldn't stop the Zed from chewing you. Still, keep the ideas coming. Rgds LoK

Hello all First time Ive heard of skylining too. It matters not though as it's a good tip. Just remember though, not all "real life" tactics apply in a game, even in a milisim such as this. But the OP's tip does. Rgds LoK
