My friend has an Alienware M14x and he was complaining about the performance while playing DayZ, even at low/normal graphics settings. I guess it must be rough playing on older laptops since a lot of PC players complain of the performance as well.

That's one of the reasons i enjoy the game much more when i have "low level" gear. When i get too much stuff the tension is just so overwhelming that it ruins my experience. Love the Lee Enfield :D

That's exactly what i thought. A billboard to promote trading for example would be a good thing. But i doubt it would work anyway.

This is a SANDBOX game, right? I like to role-play when i'm in the game with my friends, we pretend we are X-Men and our power is to communicate with each other over long distances. So, i guess this is allowed right? We simulate this power by using TeamSpeak/Skype, and it works very well! /Sarcasm. God, please, threads like this make me sick. <_<

I Am Legend is just as cool as Call of Duty, bro.

If you were playing on a Hive server (official) your character will be saved across all the other Hive servers. Maybe you entered a non-Hive server (private) after that, which means you character is not saved there. Playing on a non-Hive server makes your character to get saved ONLY in that server, and only there. Maybe that's what happened, maybe.

+1 I never miss-clicked it with a full set of gear, but i did it a few times and it made me really pissed. This would be a cool feature.

Some of the ideas are cool, but the third one, really? I'm pretty sure you're forgetting this is a computer game after all. Communicating with friends to play a game is an exploit? So let's think about it for a second, you're here in the forum, maybe you're going to sleep in a few hours, or maybe you're sleeping right now. Isn't that an exploit too? I mean, you're safe inside your house, in your bed, don't you feel ashamed to turn the game off like that and run away? You should be ashamed. If you were that hardcore your computer would stay ONLINE 24/7! /Sarcasm. Honestly, what is wrong with some people when DayZ is the subject.

You can always switch server for one without the full moon i believe. I had a lot of fun in a server i played a few days ago, it was night with a full moon, it was dark but we could see stuff, really scary and amazing.

I wish stuff like this could only happen in Cherno. This happens everywhere, dude. Makes me SUPER SAD, but that's the way things are in Chernarus right now, you can't trust people unless they're your friends. If you want to play co-op gather your friends in TeamSpeak/Skype and roll together, but be careful.

I can't fire the first shot either, that's why i'll probably always play as a survivor, not a bandit. That's why most of the time i get shot without even seeing my attacker. Anyway, what the hell, that's just the way i like to play, don't want to start killing people for nothing just because almost everyone else do that.

"This is our story" - i was waiting for that sound from Law & Order after that, "tan tan" Anyway, nice video! My friend was killed some time ago in an apartment building in Berezino, i could avenge him killing the bandit but i died in the process. It's always nice to avenge our buddies!

What the hell was that. I wish i was there to see this, amazing stuff, hahahahaha. I guess that hacker didn't complete the ARMA 2 boot camp to learn how to fly that damn plane, lol.

Like people said, the game shows for how many days your character is still alive when you log in, but keeping track of how many hours you spent playing per day to estimate your time alive would be a real pain. Maybe this will be implemented one day, it would be a cool feature.

If i'm not mistaken, when you press "i" inside the game, a screen will come up with the name of the server and the players currently playing. I believe along with your name, there will be a column showing a number that represents how many minutes you are actually alive. Wrong information, sorry.

I use Six-updater and Six-launcher myself, but it's sad that sometimes it takes at least a day to detect a new Arma 2 Beta Patch version and make the download, forcing us to manually install the Beta Patch or to wait until it's detected. Not to mention the pings on the servers that sometimes seems pretty screwed up.

This might help: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com This website can check your current specs and tell you how well you can run the game. But anyway, from my experience i can run a lot of games at high/ultra settings (games like BattleField 3, Skyrim, etc.) and still my computer cries a little bit running DayZ (this is something the developers are working on, i believe).

Well, when i play DayZ (i have the Steam version of Arma 2: Combined Operations) i don't actually use Steam to play, i use a software called Six-Launcher, that helps me tracking down my favorite servers so i can join the game right from my desktop. I also checked on Steam for how many hours i did play the game, but it's not right since i'm not using Steam to play DayZ. A lot of players also play this way, so what you see there won't tell you the real numbers (I guess). I think it's worth buying, but you need patience since the mod is still in development and there are a lot of bugs and fixes to be made.

What if we kill so many players, that our speed is decreasing so much that we just stop walking, and then we kill one more player and we start walking backwards? That would be amazing, moon-walking around Cherno with so much style, i doubt people would kill you.

That is a great suggestion, couldn't tell if this could be implemented easily with the current engine though.

Sure, at the current state the PvP system is just fine, we probably need Killstreaks added to the game. 5 kills - launch a UAV that spots people for you on your map 10 kills - send a zombie horde after players in a specific direction 20 kills - launch a nuclear strike that kills everyone in Chernarus and after that the line "die carebears" appear on the victim's computer I think that would be amazing, why even bother to listen to other people's opinions regarding the PvP system? /Sarcasm :cool: People who complain are obviously not satisfied with how things are working out, and people who come to raise their swords trying to make things to stay the same are obviously the "internet badass" kind of guys, so please, just listen. Maybe DayZ is not here to hold your hand, but i doubt it's here to become your everyday FPS game also. Maybe we can discuss and i promise it will be OK if in the end of the day you guys have different opinions, it's OK. Be cool, guys. A lot of people are pretty sure that adding PENALTIES to murderers is the solution, i think this wouldn't work, at least in my opinion. But for being a sandbox game like some people love to remind us here, cooperation is expected, and even if you don't want it, some people do.

From what i heard this is not a bug, but a negative status called SHOCK that you receive after being shot or by damaging yourself. Happened to me before, you just need to stay online for those 5 minutes so the status can disappear, otherwise if you disconnect and connect again, you will spawn unconscious. Unless this isn't the case, then it would probably be a bug of some sort.

And don't forget you can actually pick your bolts from the zombies corpses after you killed them. Just look straight at the bolt and scroll the middle mouse button until the option "Take steel bolt" appears, then you can get it again. Crossbow is an amazing weapon to start, but you will get pissed eventually when players start to kill you, since it's not that useful against other players, at least i felt that way. Cool video!

I thought it would only be fully released in the Arma 3 engine as well, since from what i heard, Arma 3 will be released this year, right? I'll be buying it anyway though (if it becomes necessary)!

One thing you should know is this: if you're playing on official DayZ servers, your character, gear, and position on the map will be saved through all the other official DayZ servers, but they won't be saved on the non-official/private servers, and this is probably the case. (The private servers will be shown on your server list, mixed with the official ones, so maybe you just couldn't tell the difference? It happens) If you're playing on a non-official/private server, your stuff will only be saved in that server, and nowhere else. I could be wrong, but you might want to check this out!
