Hello there Play nice now guys. Rgds LoK

Hello there Dont bitch and insult eachother unless you want a holiday from the forums. Keep on topic or stay out. Rgds LoK

Hello there Thread cleaned. Spam Nuked from low orbit. Rgds LoK

Hello there Im positive Item descriptions will be enlarged as we get closer to release and localisation comes into play. IMHO the more info the better. Its how its laid out is the key thing. Rdgs LoK

Hello there There are already many servers out there which have added all the vehicle you seek and as Lipmer put it (although a little tersely) there is the Namalsk Map, which has a definite wintry feel to it. Rgds LoK

Hello there Now, be aware this is all guesswork and more as an example than a reflection as to what is/has happened. Let's assume the "game code" had no intrinsic actual cash worth itself. Regardless, the thief has probably incurred a vast amount of costs to the company (which will need to be recouped from somewhere, remember) as knowing the thief has the source code there must have been major changes made to stop, at the very least, the most obvious of exploits that could be generated with access to the said code. This takes away resources from active development in many quarters and most likely had to apply new resources to "sort" the issue. Manpower, equipment, offices, bureaucracy, travel and more all has a cost and all will have been involved with dealing with this issue. Not to mention the demotivational effect on the team. The thief has in effect "stolen" this time and cost off the company and if "caught" could face many severe fines to cover these. That's excluding any regional/international offences. A knock on effect could be to you, the end user, as the time taken to "sort" this particular issue may have eaten up set aside chunks of dev time/cost so we may not see certain mechanics/items included due to this. These are all vague examples and gestures to try to show that the "hey its just 1's and 0's" argument isnt justified and that there must have been some repercussions. To re iterate, I could well be completely wrong and the thief may have gotten access to old redundant legacy code which has little to do with the "new" engine and how it will process data, in that case, although a massive pain in the bum it could well be that its had little or no effect. It was still a shite thing to do though. So, there's a vague gesture to what may have happened and how it can affect us directly, IMHO that justifies the feeling "robbed" analogy. Rgds LoK

Hello there Let's not compare this person to Rosa Parks. No comparison. What this guy did was wrong. There's NO moral crusade behind it, even if he tries to claim there is. Equating his sneak theft to that of combating Racism is daft in the extreme. Also, he has apparently shared the code, so whats stopping someone else putting it out? It may have already happened. No, this guy is no hero trying to save "you" cash. He's in it for the Kudos. Dont want to pay high server prices? Dont rent a server during Alpha. A to the fact he hacked us rather than "EA" being down to security, well I was going to rob the Swiss banks which contained stolen artifacts from WWII to return them to their rightful owners, but the security was too tight, so I mugged an old lady for her pension instead as it was easier. Dont get me wrong, Im all for freedom fighting, I've been on Anti Fascist Marches myself, were we we assaulted by police who were "protecting" the violent skinheads from a peaceful march, in fact my family has somewhat of a history of fighting extremists. Trust me, this chap is not a freedom fighter, please dont make the old mistake that he is some "Flynn" character fighting against Encom. Rgds LoK

Hello there I rarely pull the Alpha card, but in this case it is legitimate. Yes, of course the devs are looking at opportunities to optimise at many points of the game's development, but to expect anything soon which will affect your play (which isnt to say some jumps may be made) is rather naive IMHO. The fact that one can actually "play" to me is quite astounding at this juncture. IMHO you are thinking too far ahead. Rgds LoK

Hello there Deserve? Alpha. Rgds LoK

No? Dean Hall? no one?

moving to SA section

Hello there I posted this on reddit about 6 months ago. Watch till end of credits. Be astounded. Rgds LoK http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1tjfpw/hype_train_premonition_or_coincidence/

Hello there @all Im feeling a bit too much misogyny creeping in to some posts. You're more than welcome to disagree and argue your points but lets keep the sexism out of any replies. mm'Kay? Rgds LoK

Hello there I have to agree to some degree as "hiring" folk you don't know for such senior positions is fraught with danger/problems. Its far better to entrust these positions to those with whom you've built up a relationship over time. It might work out well for you and indeed I hope it does. Rgds LoK

Hello there @Guppy, I realise your frustration but if you will post in a thread then at least give the OP a little more info. @zootlex, There are several guides around on optimising your fps but at the moment your framerate seems perfectly average. Remember Many Arma optimisation tips carry over to DAYZ. Rgds LoK

Hello there I find it an interesting art/design decision. Plus it adds a tactical element to the game. Keeping the sun behind you is an old trick but works in DAYZ. A2's lighting environment was flawed as if you looked at the floor then at thge horizon you could be almost blinded. DAYZ's fine for me as it is but I do expect it will be tweaked as we move along the dev process especially with the upcoming renderer changes. Rgds LoK

Hello there If you have a pertinent issue for Dev attention, please PM a Mod. Closing. Rgds LoK

Hello there As you are new here, Ill let you off with a verbal warning. Dont use lazy homophobic slang in here please, it may well result in a suspension or indeed a permanent ban. Rgds LoK Same for you, although you should know better. L

Jebus, my eyes.... L

Hello there I think you need to read this. http://dayzdev.tumblr.com/ Hope it helps Rgds LoK

Moving to MOD area. This is the SA Area. Do not Spam topics please. L

Never mock another man's equipment. @OP great idea! L

To quote Rocket, regarding DayZ being part of the steam summer sale "I have no idea why this occurred. It's a complete surprise to me." http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/28kdao/blargh/cibtd0v?context=3 So, dont blame us, k? L

Thread Cleaned. Play nice in the forums, guys, k? L

Hello there As Chroma points out the Anti Cheat systems wont blithely announce their inner workings. We do receive hints and tips from BE though, for example they recently let us know an existing hack is no longer possible. AFAIK VAC say nothing. See? BE is good :) Rgds LoK
