Flawed

No standalone info (screens or vids), damn :(

Inventory Management - the #1 newbie killer in the current DayZ.

Canned pasta - more cals/carbs :thumbsup:

A zombie stole my lunchbox yesterday :( :emptycan:

Listen to this, it will explain everything you need to know. (Turn lights off, it helps you concentrate)

Never set off without the three B's: Beans, Bandages and Bullets! Oh, and Water :thumbsup:

Please refer to my Signature

Are you fucking kidding me?

No. No. No. That is not what we are saying at all. Griff answered it, so everything is peachy now.

There you go then - that is what many of us want to hear, clear communication.

I agree with him, if I am on the same page, I sincerely hope DayZ will be using the Arma 3 engine. Otherwise, why pay again for another game that may be the in the same state of its predecessor? I understand the frustrations due the the bugs and hacking, so he has a right to be wary. I love DayZ, totally got my money's worth. However, I want the standalone to be that much better, not another alpha with the potential to have same problems of the original.

Not my question. People here say that DayZ is free, but it's not

Everyone seems to forget that in order to play DayZ that you must buy Arma 2 first. If there is another way to play DayZ for free, please - let all of us know.

Huge achievement, and no Rocket posts? wtf?

Just started following HybridPanda - dude is funny as hell.

I was almost with you, but you failed to defecate on the bodies. 2/10

At first I raged when I read his comment "recommend at the moment to do private servers for the live streams." Some people watch these live streams, and buy the game as a result. If they are only watching a canned environment, where hackers are dealt with quickly, and then buy a game in which they are forced into a unstable (hacked) environment (hive/non-private) - that's just wrong. However, at the end of his statement he seems to come back into awareness of a possible solution to hackers, as a result of private servers. Glad this happened while he was talking to them. That whole video was pretty sad to be honest. The constant hacking, battle eye bans, etc really showcased the current state of the game - and many, many people witnessed it.

Read my posts. I'm not saying he deserves a refund, he deserves to play the game he paid for - regardless if it is a mod. You need to take a knee, and hydrate. I run into hackers all the time, and I deal with it my own way and keep on playing. However, the OP deserves more than "lol faggut its mod herp derp alpha"

I understand that DayZ is not a product. However, he paid money for Arma 2 to play DayZ. He should at least have the option to play it, but he can't since he is unable to respawn. Most of us here have no interest in Arma II

How's that swimming simulator working out for you? I'm sorry this happened to you. I, just like yourself, bought this game for DayZ - not the Arma milsim. For it to be in this state, and for people to defend it because "it is in Alpha" is frustrating. You should have *at least* the option to kill yourself/respawn, in order to attempt to play DayZ, and get something for your money. Shitty situation, and no one should defend a product (Mod or not) in this way which is basically useless in your current situation.

Lots of people are saying that if the game is based off the same engine as War Inc, that it will fail. I did a quick look at some vids last night, and I think that the graphics, UI, and Inventory Management are far superior than what we have in DayZ. Now, I do not know if the WarZ engine has bullet drop and the like, but by looking at the attached video (skip to about halfway through) the environment and chr models seem pretty good. This from a video dated early 2011. Seems like an easy port from War Inc to WarZ. Now if the DayZ standalone uses the Arma III engine, that could really sway things.

If that's the case, we wont have to pay for Arma III. DayZ will be a standalone game that just happens to use the engine that is used in Arma III. Engine does not mean game.

I've searched, and there are no post that are specific to Technicals (some are mentioned in other threads). They already exist in Arma II - how cool would it be to cruise in one of these in Cherno! (Although, the life expectancy of the gun operator would be minimal :)
