all this talk of "polish" is kinda irrelevant because we were told it would be released 'unfinished' using this 'minecraft mode'. we weren't expecting a bug free game. in fact I was expecting to pay money for something that I knew probably be very buggy, and I was fine with that

I just feel like at the moment we're kinda in limbo, and maybe it's not the time to try to make conclusive statements about the release

well if you have sort of conflicting statements, wouldn't you go with the more recent one? you're right I might be taking that statement out of context. that's why people have been saying they don't like these 'riddles'

a lot of things have been officially stated by Rocket. including the recent statement about "there are many forms and ways to release something" I don't remember him saying it would "only" be on Steam

are you making an official statement?

you guys had 3 helicopters?

notice they've pretty much moved on to Wasteland seems like they figured out there's better mods for their style of play

still could be a threat :o

looks like it's really a box of bullets. maybe it's a threat :o

I'll take that as confirmation that Half Life 3 is just around the corner

where did I say I didn't want them to be harder to fly? I want them to be so difficult to fly and maintain that they might as well not be in the game

people that actually own a small helicopter also have the resources to maintain them. once 'the shit hits the fan', many of those resources would quickly dry up. the first would be the specialized fuel. not to mention the knowledge needed for maintenance and operation. if your car stalls, or otherwise breaks down, you might have to walk. if your helicopter stalls or breaks down in mid air... yeah... to make a long story short, it doesn't respawn of course there's hypothetical situations you can think of where you could operate and maintain a helicopter after 'the apocalypse' , I just don't think they're probable enough to make them part of the game and personally I panic more when I hear a gun shot or a (land) vehicle, then when I hear a helicopter

as the mod is, there's only supposed to one heli per server. I definitely don't think this game needs more than 2-3 heli's per server. and like I said before, I'm not sure they belong in a 'survival' game at all

yeah, I would think that's probably something (possibly malicious) running in the background. OP might want to run something like malwarebytes to look into that I think overheating issues usually lead to shut-down, and not decreased performance

it could mean something else we're not thinking of

I wouldn't mind if there were no helicopters in DayZ SA plenty of 'normal' people have some working knowledge of cars and guns. helicopters, not so much...

if I hear shots, I want to know where they came from, so I can figure out: were they shooting at me? are they coming my way, or am I going their way? were they shooting at players or zombies? do they have a bandit skin? etc...

that's not a "graphics card". it's the integrated graphics the i5 has, and it's not that great for gaming I'll add that if you get a graphics card, you might also need to upgrade the psu

oh god, now the "if the game never comes out, I'll still be happy" shit starts :rolleyes:

there's no inherent reason they can't go to whitelisted servers. there's only the hope that they wouldn't bother to go through the whitelisting process, but that's hardly a guarantee ultimately the most important thing is an active admin... that's not hacking or otherwise cheating themselves

if you wish to to say something is delayed, you must first invent the universe :P Merry Christmas folks

beans, ammo, and an outhouse... there's a joke somewhere there :P anyway, you gotta move around to find the 'spot' where you get the 'gear' option. sometimes it's hard to find, but I don't think I've ever not been able to find it

you'll notice you got the same advice here that I gave you first of all just spawn and try to hurry down that ladder. there shouldn't be zombies around when you first spawn, unless there's other players around (a high probability at NW Airfield). just know that if you hang around up there long enough, someone will help you down... with a bullet in the head all jokes aside, you're in one of the most dangerous areas on the map. and you got teleported there, so you're not even really ready to be in that area. it's like if you just started playing a game and got teleported to the 'last level'. you're not gonna be prepared, because you didn't get there on your own

use a program, like fraps, that displays your fps, and play with the settings (it's easier to tell what's making a difference when you have an actual number to look at). turning anti-aliasing down or off will generally help a lot. as will adjusting post-processing, but I will say that turning post-processing 'off' is cheating IMO
