Yes I wasn't aware that I start with pistol+flashlight and that I always find head torch. The night, as it is, is too dark (pitch black), hence why people don't like it. If you can't understand that...well, I woun't waste any more of my time with you. Well why not to make night tad lighter? That I can see 10 meters in front of me or something. After all, it is still just a game, they are NOT even trying to be 100% realistic (devs said that), but rather authentic. I do not think making night tad brighter would hurt anything.

Why not to add the prevalent weapons first? Why add a weapon early, that might be frikkin rare, but take a long time to add workhorses like AK74? Pistols....FNX and Magnum first? Makarov or Tokarev nowhere to be seen? "Longhorn" almost in game? You have already stated, that you dislike AK's and most likely majority of Russian weapons, makes me think that H1Z1 might be a lot better game for you :) . But then again if Devs cater to gamers like you, DayZ Standalone will become just another of your generic games, when speaking about weapons atleast. Hope that makes you happy..yeah it most likely does.

I was tad sarcastic, but I guess you would not know. Anyway enjoy, you are most likely one of those that Devs wants to cater for in regards to weapons. God forbids the majority of guns were eastern/Russian right?

After Scubamand3D (Torchia dude?) posted on Reddit, that "did not want to go too Russia-centric in the game to make it easier to transition to other settings on future maps" I pretty much gave up on hoping that SA will have reasonably authentic weapon for poor post-Soviet country. So yea, add range finders, thermal scopes, portable nuclear warheads and maybe even SCUD missiles. God forbids that some yankee would get scared by prevalence of Eastern weapons in fictional post-Soviet country, nobody would want that to happen!

I don't know, but I dislike night time unless I crank up gamma/brightness. I mean yeah, we start with flashlight...but can we defend ourselves with flashlight in hand? So I should always drop flashlight on the ground to fight zombies or players that go after me? For me night is just not good when it's pitch black. If it was tad less black, I might like it. Btw would love nicely done fog or snowing.

Yeah some people are really making some hilarious claims as what cheating is. But I have to give credit to this guy, it was (for me) the 1st time seeing anybody claiming using of TeamSpeak is cheating.

You for real? Or do you have just no friends to be on TS with? Wait for private hives and join some hardcore RP community, that has the same needs as you. Majority of players most likely do not share your hipsterish hardcore RP opinion, please do not try to enforce it to others.

Please enough of this H1Z1 nonsence. You can't even play it at this moment, yet some people already claim how great this Pay 2 Win game will be. I mean feel free to move to H1Z1, just don't expect everybody to be hype about it, because at this moment, it does not look good at all (from vids). Man BF4 is a disaster. Made by DICE, who has surely more then 100 developers, and backed by EA, who earns billions of Dollars every year. And what do they create? Rushed BF4, that has such a shitty hit detection it is not even funny, but hey, they are pros in creating sun glares that Michael Bay would approve of !! No way they will get any more money from me, I'm so glad I haven't paid for premium atleast. TL;DR: Gigantic game corporation are spewing rubbish game (BF4, COD and others). Bohemia is a lot smaller company, it's no wonder their development takes more time. Also DayZ SA is still frikking unique as compared to majority of today's game and I believe it will be worth the waiting. Yes, it will have it's share of bugs, but as in mod, these bugs woun't most likely prevent people from having fun!

Oh CRAP, it is really happening?

I like how you, Rick1633 and others like you, try to appear as victims of oppressive moderators regime :D . Also if you think that spouting random bollocks will make game better, then you are very lying to yourself. I bet that most of you so vocal critics just want the game to be finished tomorrow latest. And when you wake up and realise, it will take a lot longer, you can't accept it and have to rant on forums to ease up the pain.

Yeah obviously the first bigger attempt has it flaws as it puts a lot of strain to server CPU causing rubberbanding. Anyway I'm excited Devs are getting closer to implementing working respawn mechanics, because that will make SA a lot better. Then fix zombies, improve client FPS and we got stable foundations upon which anything can be added!

Thanks for the comment, wish it was me who created that guide :-D. And yes, good point about core unparking, I did it after Standalone came out and I was trying to milk max FPS possible.

That's not the worst first thing you can think about! :P

Here is nice guide for all your SSD settings needs, both Win7 and Win8. Some Sean chap did very good job, beans to him. Don't be discouraged by how complex it is. It is easily navigated and have even youtube how-to vids. Covers pretty much everything. http://www.overclock.net/t/1156654/seans-windows-7-install-optimization-guide-for-ssds-hdds

I have 120GB SSD already, with Win7 64bit + DayZ SA, and still i need to put object detail often to low, when in Cherno, Elektro or Berezino. That's with i7-4770K, 8GB DDR3 and Radeon HD 7870 2GB. So for me it's back to waiting for when devs update the renderer part of engine. btw to be honest, after guaranteed system msg, I was getting a lot more smooth gaming experience!

Yes M4 mags are the most abundant magazines of them all, which again does not make sense. I would expect pistol mags, atleast for CR75, to be more abundant. Also it would seem more balanced, since pistols are good to maybe 30 meters max.

When you are running somewhere and then get suddenly ported back to the starting position. Btw yes, I'm also experiencing this since last pach, but Rocket's notice explains why that is happening. Hope they will fix it soonish, because experimental is unplayable for me now. EDIT: Ah, the new spawn technique causing rubberbanding will not be part of today's patch, which is good. Still looking forward when loot respawn will be implemented since that will move DayZ SA forward by a mile.

As good folks said, more features = more fun. KOS will never totally disapear, nor it should! It's just a problem when everybody does it. Regarding .22 LR rifle. I find it absurd I found magazines only in "camo" buildings. Does it mean that .22 LR rifle magazines are considered military stuff now? Damn it, .22LR mags should spawn in civilian buildings, such as the rifle & pistol itself. Devs should change it as it would help to promote using of .22LR weapons (they are shit without mag). Same nonsence is crossbow and quivers in Police Station.

DayZ servers down during regular Wednesday's maintenance window???

Guys was I really the one, who after last night's patch experienced hardcore rubber banding? I was ported back every 5 seconds of so, I could not even run away from NEA hangar to the tree line...I was always sucked back, I felt like hamster running in that wheel thing. Same was happening for my buddy, who was there as well. We were getting also "red chain" icon, so maybe the server was under extra stress or something. Prior to that yesterdays patch, experimental was almost butter smooth for me, the guaranteed msg system was making wonders!! This was actualy thing that made me very optimistic about the future of DayZ SA. If they can pull more such moves, then we are up for some real treat. First network bubble, now guaranteed messages....if they can do something similar with client optimalization such as updating the aged renderer....geez, it's gonna be something!

I wish we had some kind of survey of what kind & how many of weapons civilians use in countries like Ukraine and Russian Federation, hell even here in Czech republic. There really would not be many of Scar's, P90's and stuff like that. But ok, I will stop ranting on this subject, it's too early to judge rarity of weapons anyway.

You got some good points. Game happen in fictional post-soviet country, but it should remain authentic, that's what Devs said. They are aiming for authenticity. To achieve that, the biggest % of used firearms should be made mostly of eastern block weapons, plus equipment that the "intervention" forces from west used. I can't imagine people from poor eastern country buying guns like Tavor, M4's etc. I don't think that the main goal is to introduce every single weapon that somebody happen to think is cool (Desert eagle, hi-tech sniper rifles etc). That would, I think, just hurt the game. Btw also Steyr AUG is used by some special police units in Czech republic. I've seen that one more often then P90. p.s. I might appear as to be needlessly b*tching, but I just does not want Dayz to lose it's "eastern" setting, I believe it's part of it's charm.

Exited and launched Steam again, patch downloaded. Got to DE hardcore server...immediately experience BRUTAL desyncs. I was literally running for 2 minutes, but always got ported back after few seconds. Most heavy rubberbanding for me I've ever experienced in DayZ. Oh well, hopefully this will get looked at soon, up to this todays update, experimental was running smooth as butter for me.

Guess we will have to wait and see.

Oh boomer, my bad :o Still heavily dislike idea of UZI, P90 or Tavor. And please don't tell me these weapons are given to US troops or that they are noticeably spread in eastern Europe.
