We just all have to hope,that standalone will be a lot better so fewer hackers, no duping of items, no ammo glitching etc. If we spent money on standalone and it's nothing like I have mentioned above,then Rocket will feel our righteous wrath!

In order to get some stories I've changed my playstyle. I no longer head much to the north, I do not hoard stuff nor vehicles. Instead I am trying to get humanity so basically talk to the people before shooting. Does it get me killed a lot? Oh yes, but there are also times when I meet friendly people and they usually say something like I am the first person that did not try to murder them on sight. Try this playstyle. It is doable, you just have to accept the higher probability of dying and you need to let go the fear of losing stuff. I'm totally ok with just having winchester or enfield and I tend to find AK/AKM or M4/M16 quite a lot while adventuring in Cherno / Elektro. In past 3 days I had bandit shooting me in the head while I was tending to his wounds, sniper with AS50 on killing spree, saving my buddy few times, meeting 3 friendly people (I've added one finnish lad to Steam friend list) and lots of interesting gameplay down in the south :-). I still can't decide if to shoot "towel heads" on sight even if they are unarmed and I will probably resort to this soon.

I also wish this ATV could be flipped back even if it took 2 people to do it. As it is now, they are bloody ridiculous, I keep finding them all the time flipped in bizzare positions.

My only gripe againts devs is the lack of info in past few weeks. I understand that they are busy with standalone DayZ,but they should manage to give us some feedback anyway. As for glitches Im lucky,that changing HDR keeps them away for some time so I can play quite ok.

What we had before: Bandits killing everyone on sight. Survivors being killed on sight, they could not say whos bandit or not, so resorted to killing on sight as well. What we have now: Bandits still kill everyone on sight. Survivors have a better chance to tell who is meaning them harm, so they shoot only towel head bandits. All in all it seems like slight improvement, would not you say?

Funny thing is, that such cheating guys might come later and say that zombies are too easy and need to be buffed ;) . Anyway ultimate douchebaggery is attacking someone,then D/C when having your arse kicked, reposition on different server, come back and kill the legit player that have stayed there. D/C from Zeds is just icing on the cake made of shit.

Because the glitches were present in 2.4 as well dude.

Dude are you stoned? Stupid arse Ubisoft caters to console kiddies whereas Arma series is for PC adults!

Heh the Bob "guy" just wanted ride guys. Also never leave driver's seat with stranger onboard, but I guess now you will remember. Btw did Bob tow wounded guy out of harm's way? He could have run, but he tried to save him only to get knocked down by explosion.

With DayZ being standalone Devs can hack it to the core and fix a lot of problems we have now. Also they are going to sell standalone, so they will have to put more effort into it as well. Last thing,some stuff you mention like no self transfusion and zeds breaking legs are NOT bugs. They are just stuff Devs put into the game, they could always change it. Devs could easily change the code to allow for self transfusion, but they want to promote team play a bit. If you are chronical lonewolf, you can always carry several cooked steaks with you anyway. Also many people still think that Zeds are no threat at all, hence they can sometimes knock you out and eat you alive. So I am not worried that we will have Arma 2.5 engine instead of full Arma 3 but instead I welcome it. Only in such way they will be able to deliver DayZ standalone in playable version before end of this year.

If they could just fix glitches, tents and vehicles, then I think we would be good for quite some time and Devs would have lots of time to mess with standalone.

The dude in church in episode 1 was clearly asking if you guys were friendly. Since you did not reply he assumed (quite rightly) that you are hostile and started shooting. Anyway not bad videos, nothing uber special but I like to watch such gameplays while in work :) edit: I see that in 3rd vid you have murdered that stranger just for fun. Not good in my book.

Is it normal that stuff from lootpiles sometimes just vanishes? I went to fireguard station in Elektro, there was DMR on first floor, I went to check other floors too, found and took AKM, went back for DMR and just as I was about to grab it from lootpile it vanished in thin air and every other loot in that building too.

Glad you are helping, pitty you have -164K humanity so no hero skin for you in near future (would be so much cooler instead of having towel wrapped around your head, that will get honest people worried).

If you are attached to your gear, you will have to basically kill on sight. If you don't hoard stuff and are ok with basic weapons like Enfield or good old AK, then you can risc talking to people before shooting. Past few days I play as helpfull stranger around Cherno / Elektro. Sure my lifespan isn't in days, but it's fun and more intense. For example I check woods north of these towns and I kill every guy that is camping there with sniper rifle. Only thing that pisses me off is, that my humanity is on slow decline since I had 3900 and now its down to 2900. I've lost like 200 humanity for killing a guy that started shooting me with colt 45 in Firestation (I've yelled friendly to no success). Funny thing was meeting a guy in camo with M4 SD and NV who actually DID NOT shoot me on sight, we talked a bit and then went our ways. So usually when I meet someone I try to take cover a bit and tell them I'm friendly unless they have towel wrapped around their heads,then I usually shoot or swing my axe. p.s. funny stuff was also when bandit in bus drove to elektro honking. We talked and he then gave me ride to Cherno (where I died minutes later ech).

Well if I am not totally off, then one barracks are south west and the other are northeast. As for mentioned weapons, I would take AKM over plain M4, but if the M4 was with Aimpoint, then I would probably keep that. Also AKM with 6 mags > M4 with 2 by a long shot. Personally I like open sights of AKM and AK74 more then the closed ones of M4/M16.

I will keep both mod and standalone for some time. Regarding engine for standalone, what Rocket has said points to something like Arma 2.5 engine. Not the same as Arma 3 will have,but surely not the same as Arma 2 either. I think it will look better and if hacking and duping can be tamed, it would be great.

Dude you must be out of your mind if you think, that during any kind of apocalypse people would spend hard to get ammo to kill folks just for giggles. Or do you think folks would "shit" .50 Cal bullets as not to care how they spend them? Yea there would be some psychopats, but such fools that would waste their ammo on random people without any valuable stuff, would be killed in the end anyway since bullets do not grow on trees. Also what does "If you don't want people trying to kill you, you suck at surviving anyways." mean? Are you trying to press your mindset on other people? Maybe they like to explore, get some stuff, help fellow survivor, fight some zombies and such. Only thing that I can agree with you is, that zombies are not very big of threat and that is simply wrong, because they should be biggest enemy. I'm bit sad that this mod has degenerated into deathmatch with some zombies in the background, but there is a hope yet. Rocket did not add every feature he plans to, so in the end, we might get a game that is really about SURVIVAL and not about killing random folks by bushwookies with .50 cals. If that means the game might lose some griefers like you? I have zero problem with that ;) Atleast the ammount of trigger happy fools would be reduced to somehow more realistic figures.

Some say that it was the God who has abandoned us...!

That's because you are bad person who is murdering other people. Enjoy your new ninjacowl.

If somebody shoots you first and you kill him,surely you can not be punished by lowering your humanity? Did you really test this or do you assume that killing non bandits, even in selfdefence, is considered murder?

I'm ok with Xbow in main hand but yea, the 1 bolt per inventory slot is bad as well as ironsights on that thing.

Back in old times,I've played Operation Flashpoint. Next two Armas kinda went by me, bought Arma 2 CO + DLC's for DayZ. After playing DayZ a lot a decided to give Arma 2 MP a go. Downloaded ACE + ACRE and I love it (Domination and Insurgency). It's not so good on public servers since people there seldom cooperate, but on some clan servers,that are open for public, it can be really fun (hello to Wrecking Crew lads). So yea, I've played Arma 2 and I will most likely buy Arma 3 as well, this time right after release. Btw I've talked 5 other people into buying Arma X, some for DayZ, some for playing Arma2 campaing in coop.

Unless you fix your poll and add options like "I am shemale and I play trannie" then its gonna enrage some people!! Btw females are cool but being unable to wear dmp or ghillie is very uncool.

Guys why cant we just get along? DayZ is a little bit borked at the moment, lets play some arma 2 MP instead or enjoy a book or glass of wine. Btw Im a bit hyped for next patch (I guess before end of next week) that should come after gamescom that started just today.
