So after roughly 300 hours since I trusted my last random person...
OrLoK replied to Grimey Rick's topic in General Discussion
Hello there One can get away with saying a lot of things on this forum, but even we have our limits. The R word is one we frown on. It's not to be used. Simples. Rdgs LoK -
Poll: Are you happy with update news/management?
OrLoK replied to Ugly (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
Hello there Absolute poppycock. There are bucket loads of threads criticising the game. If you've had a post hidden or closed its because you were breaking a rule or plain rude. We dont delete anything here and im happy to bring up one or two choice examples to show everyone the type of post you can spout sometimes. Also, all the info is here or linked to here if you bother to look (then again you KNOW that as another person posted) Finally, you're on a temp suspension so I dont really know why Im bothering to reply to this. I suppose its for the benefit of our other forum members. Lets see how you act when you return. Rgds LoK -
Hello there No explanations on how to dupe, please. Check the bugtracker for updates. Rgds LoK

Hello there Firstly, You are NOT free to say whatever you want and if we think its inappropriate we WILL censor you. You are lucky Kichilron already dealt with your post, I would have given you a warning point and temporarily suspended you. You got off very lightly. Criticism is welcomed but your attitude in that post is not. Dont do it again. Rgds LoK -

Hello there 2 posts, both "drive-by's". Contribute, man contribute! Rgds LoK

Hello there Why quick? The game will play the same with or without one. Or is a back story that important to you/others? Rgds LoK

Hello there I don mean to rain on your parade but the Armaverse has personally never affected me in anyway and on the whole ive ignored it although I adore the games. The most I pay attention is the rough setting and even in that Im vague. To me Chernarus is in "Russia" or at the very least is a communistic outer state of the USSR I do know where its really based but tbh on the whole Ive never needed a lore behind the games to enjoy it. Its the same with the Zeds/Infected. Im not fussed what they are only what threat they are to me. Perhaps Im a souless realist, but to me the background history isnt at all important. That said I do understand that folk really do go in for that kind of thing, so in that spirit and to stop being a grumpy bugger I think DAYZ should live in a parallel Armaverse rather than the Milsim/game one. IMHO they are to disparate to co exist. Rgds LoK

Hello there You are NOT relegated to use 3rd party services. Their twitter feed is pushed to the forums. It may not be presented to you on a silver platter but all the main info is here. Why should the devs NOT post in Twitter or Reddit? Also, the devs do visit here and any groovy threads we pass onto them regularly. They just tend not to post directly here. As has been pointed out, yes these are the official forums but the Tumbler and reddit are official too. Rgds LoK -
Hello there So, who often to folk "expect" updates? Why do they have to be on an exact time schedule? In what why do you guys want to receive updates? Im truly interested as we mods are often too close to the woods to see the trees, so if you have a truly realistic and worthwhile comment please leave it here. I think we DO have a firm grasp on things, but its as well to check in case we have missed something. As to the forums being a little scruffy, well yes they are a bit, but remember we have rules and regs to live by the same as you lot so we cant always clean up as much as we like. For many of you that's probably a good thing. Rgds LoK

Hello there You'll need to install steam. Rgds LoK

Hello there As we go further down the development route we will see more and more players fall by the wayside. This is going to be a tough niche game. Personally, I think most of OPS complaints are non issues as we know they are already known and are due to be addressed. Is the RV engine THE engine to run a game like DAYZ? Perhaps, perhaps not, but without the RV engine DAYZ would never have happened. All engines have their pros and cons. Well, good luck OP. Have fun in the future whichever game you find. Safe up that cash ok? Rgds LoK

I get lost so easily on this game - Need navigation tips
OrLoK replied to TommyP88's topic in New Player Discussion
Hello there NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO No. No... Just No. Dont use external maps, yes its easier but you loose out so much of the fun. Ive been playing on Cherno since the release of A2 and I still get lost. BUT half the fun is on finding your way back. Ignore my poor and foolish fellow mods advice to use external maps, I shall administer his pills more regularly in future. Rgds LoK -
Items to add... (Hope Devs and community will like them)
OrLoK replied to GunnyITA's topic in Suggestions
Hello there You realise that's not a flare gun, but Deckard's weapon from Bladerunner? Here's a flare gun. Rgds LoK -
Hello there I dont know how long the discount is for I am afraid. Rgds LoK

Hello there Yes, its all you need for the DAYZ MOD to work. The SA is its own standalone game. There is still plenty of mileage in the MOD and A2 with mods. Rgds LoK PS if you can GET the COMPLETE edition

Hello there This either means two things. Either you were an enormous arse and did indeed do something stupid in real life or you are pretending that you did. Both are rather pathetic and for that reason I'm closing this. Rgds LoK

Hello there We greatly dislike actions like that. It can get you perma banned from here at the very least. Just FYI Rgds LoK

Why do .22 mags spawn exclusively in military loot pools
OrLoK replied to TheScruffyBandit's topic in Suggestions
Hello there We could ask you the same thing :) If this is true, it does need addressing IMHO for the reasons above. During the Alpha do expect the balance and locations of lootspanws to vary wildly whilst they are worked on and tweaked, but kudos tot you for bringing it up. If you are 100pc certain this is occurring have you thought about entering it into the bugtracker? Thats where it belongs although its of a lower priority. Rgds LoK -
Hello there This has been suggested before and goes against the "cannon" of the DAYZ background and history. TBH I think, IF handled correctly, it could be an interesting mechanic. Dont expect to see it in game though as vanilla. Perhaps as a mod? Rgds LoK

Could polarisation of the community be hurting development of the game?
OrLoK replied to tenshu's topic in General Discussion
Hello there Please remember the devs dont apease the community. They listen to feedback but have a very firm idea of the game they want. This will NOT appeal to many who played the mod. Id advise any casual player not to host a server. Not yet. If you knowingly buy something that you KNOW will be restricted/broken and acknowledged the fact then that is your choice. Criticism and feedback is wanted. What we dont like is ranting and crazy supposition. We are very relaxed here. Try posting in the BiS forums and see how you fare. We are very transparent too, although we get the usual abuse and conspiracy claims. Is everything 100pc perfect? Gosh no. But are We like the WARZ devs/ (old) mods? Heck no. Rgds LoK -

Check the dev blog it had an update very recently. Rgds LoK -

OrLoK replied to tenshu's topic in General Discussion
Hello there A quick glance at your previous posts, it does seem that you have quite a negative stance. This alpha was never about the cash, if you had been following the development youd know that. If you buy something and do NOT read the T and C's then you ONLY have yourself to blame. I too have been involved in other game development and DAYZ is speeding ahead. I dont know where you get your slow/poor development from. As to being odds with reality, we have recieved a vast amount of feedback which has assisted the devs in moving things forward. Rdgs LoK
