    Aye, its a bit like that. The trick is to have all the advantages(to sound like a broken record in this thread)... EVERYONE is friendly, if you have a bead on em, and they arnt sure where you are... not to say they stay friendly when they figure it out.

    I got sick o being shot in the back o the head by friendlies around june, so now my idea o being friendly is not killing them, and vice versa. I team up with clan mates, and dont kill new spawns... And certainly dont kill someone who has shown good intentions, but i dont let em get to close, and sure as hell dont team up with them...

    But my son does team up all the time on my account with strangers, somehow? So it can be done.

    what is the link to download this map and how do I install correctly?

    I'm struggling!

    Use dayz commander... its easier than explaining ;) But the first post has links to sumraks site, and the download links. And installing tthis way is still pretty simple(if i recall correct, yah just extract zip to OA, and it creates correct folders, then just enable mod, through yah launcher, or by editing yah start up parameters... its just easier to use commander.)

    Fucking get over it. The game is super easy as is, they're trying to make it harder.

    It sounds fine to me, also a lot more realistic like what people seem to be screaming out for

    You're talking shit... what the thread author is proposing is to make it more realistic, but across the board. Rather than specifically targeting one player group... did you even read his proposals?

    ive given myself iv's o saline before today (cheats way to stay hydrated) yah dont need a pole , just stick it in an arm or hand vein, and either hold end o bag with mouth, or if yah really need a smoke, use left hand for bag, leaving right hand free to roll yah smoke :thumbsup:(can be hard to get a vein if yah really dehydrated though) Hell if a junky can do it, anyone can.

    Edit in my point, you dont need special gear... If yah got the gear and know how to do someone else, you already should be able to give yerself a bag... But they shouldnt fully regenerate health. And come with risks ( septacemia)

    I agree with the sentiment, just not the delivery.

    Day Z is profoundly -NOT- about "balance", it's about giving players tools. The DMR's main fault is that the ammunition is currently too readily found to be realistic, 20 round magazines available in every industrial shed or deer stand. The weapon itself doesn't need to be balanced, but the ammunition availability needs to be more realistic and brought in line with most everything else.

    On the other end of the spectrum, I understand why things like the L85 Thermal shouldn't be in the game from a "balance" perspective, but it's again, something about realism and rarity. I personally didn't ever have a problem with people using anti-materiel rifles and TWS, but I understand why these can be seen as griefing tools with no real world application in terms of Day Z.

    I don't think Day Z really -needs- .338 LM or similar type rounds, simply because engagements don't usually exceed 500m. I think it'd be a waste of resources, but I'm all for gun variety... so what the hell.

    im all tact ;) Dont disagree with yer there, or yah point on the m107.

    Well if they want to get all realistic n shit... perhaps blood bags should be dropped down to 500mls... so about 1000 blood(if loosing 12000 is death) In the field... so a chance o septicemia, without antibiotics obviously(which would be death, very quickly ) And so long as yah not starving, blood slowly regenerates on its own... it seems this is all about penalizing a particular play style.. whilst encouraging another... kinda something that has been expressly spoken against by rocket himself...

    A group already has a large advantage over an individual... If they keep getting messed up by individual "deathmatchers", it speaks volumes o the players within the groups skill level...

    I hate how the comunity is starting to sound like the bf3 forums.... and wanting to balance weapons n shit... a 7.62/308 should f you up. A dmr is a great rifle. If you are being constantly sniped by noobs, perhaps you need to adapt yah play style.

    It has been stated by rocket in this thread that they are changing the weapons tables,to more realisticly reflect weaponry found in life... i hope they have thrown in .300 whinchester mags, .30 06s, 338s or some o the super high velocity stuff, like the ole .270 they f shit up compared to a .308. Time will tell i suppose. But it will piss me off no end if it ends up with weapons being nerfed n nuked because whiners like in bf3. Not all weapons are equall, deal with it. End rant :P

    I think the dude got hired by BI to do urban tactical animations for ArmA 3. Could be as easy as turning their head slightly and yell through the office or giving him a call. But those animations are also high-speed-low-drag-tactical-ninja-advanced-operator moves, so I don't know how well they fit in to the narrative of the player being some average dumbass waking up at the beach.

    All the joe blogs are either zombies or Zombie lunches... thats how evolution works... survival of the fittest... so the average joes are all dead at this stage o the apocalypse ;) (i suppose if theyve been in a coma floating on their backs in the ocean for the last three weeks ... with their mouths open being rehydrate by passing squalls, an average joe may still be alive... but he will run around screaming friendly over voice... and subsequentially be shot in the face one street into cherno... so no average joes)

    And yeah.. take on helicopters aint that hard to fly

    I hope they have leather undies.. and gimp masks... and studded leather chokers, and studded suspenders... cause everyone knows this is the proper attire for us bandits in a post apocalyptic world! ^_^

    Go google ram disk for dayz dude... I dont have issues and am running it on just a 7200rpm hrd drive... but i run my system of an ssd... and will be getting a few more now they are reasonably priced to run games off, and another for FRAPS... but ram disk is a free option to get around the fact arma is a bit limited by read speeds on hard drives.

    (if you are running yah system, and games off the same harddrive... and its not a raid configiration... this is probably the issue.)

    Yea i agree with yer on this... and im a bandit. I dont mind being killed, because i enjoy searching for treasure! I just dont play on servers that start yah kitted out, there are plenty conventional private hive servers. (i havnt played chernarus in many months, so soley play private hives)

    I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the Heli controls potentially being ported in from TOH yet, I thought many would find that controversial because it'll make life much harder in terms of flying. I love the idea though. Thoughts?

    Hell, i brought take on helicopters a month or two back... with the sole reasoning that i figured there was a good possibility, they would use the controls from that.... and who knows... they may add a large city map in the future too... :rolleyes: So bring it i say

    I quite like the changes... Although i think i should be able to eat the blood suckers! They look like they would taste like chicken... Just because the evaporating animal issue needs of settin.. Or fixin.. Other day i went through two rabbits, one cow, one goat and a pig before finally got a sheep who didnt vanish into thin air. And had starved to below 3k blood at that stage. I had bAsically gone lemgth o map at that stage

    . So the rare animal spawn. Would be sufficent.. If half o them werent ghost animals.. That vanish before yah eyes... End gripe

    Ive never played the ACE mod, ive never been in recon(was a rifle company scout though)... i have how ever dropped two outta three goats once at 900m with a .270(maps work fine for ranging IRL and in game) ... and some how managed to do it without a spotter. Id be curious as to what your realism is like? With a bipod and say a 6x-25x-50mm scope, its piss easy to fire a ranger (you have about a seconds flight time, heaps to refocus from recoil) adjust and send the next one down before they hear the report from your rifle.

    IRL a lot o people suck at shooting... but its because they flinch with recoil in my experience (last second shutting o eyes and flinching, in anticipation o the kick to the shoulder) . How exactly do you model that? Im all for windage... but you cant see/or feel the wind in game, unlike IRL.

    Im not a sniper in game, but i dont have a problem with them either.

    Your registry has been corrupted... just go through to yah steam, right click on OA and arma .exe, properties/ local files/ verify game cache. then run both games individually up to the menu (ensuring that you are running steam as administrator) to rewirte yah registry.

    hopefully this will work... other wise you will have to delete your ARMA & OA registry before doing the above steps. Ive posted links before on how to do this, but dont have time right now to locate them. (the other posts... about 6 of them would be in people posting similiar issues, but probably under heading o "kicked from game" or similiar.
