as it is now you have to make your own goals. I heard everyone likes to meet up at Stary Sobor and play twister. at least I think that's what those contorted bodies on the floor were doing...

and wheres that? :P

ok, I just found this: http://dayzwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Vehicles

where do the sandbags come from? is it an item like the tank traps and barbed wire?

Or' date=' perhaps it shows a keen understanding since they apparently know exactly how to put that particular part of your human nature to the test in a way that has clearly taken you out of your comfort zone and made you feel emotions you're not used to feeling in a game which is precisely what rocket has said he intends to do with the product. Like magic, no? [/quote'] Is being bored an emotion? Because thats all removing side chat makes me feel. I'm not sure you even get it. I want side chat back because it was fun. Removing it didn't bring any new emotions. You seem to think people miss side chat for game play reasons, but that isn't the case for me. I liked talking to people while doing boring tasks in game, I liked answering newbie questions and defending the poor Russians. It has nothing to do with what you presume people's reasons are. how is it possible to be typing in side chat while "doing boring tasks in game"? They said they have a plan for alternative global communication (probably through radios) they should make it a radio with several channels, and make it so you can listen in on other's convos. oh the fuckery...

in before the lock/ban (why can't people express themselves without a slew of insults? oh interwebs...)

the post I was responding to was talking about automatically killing server hopping characters edit: oh, you weren't responding to me. nvm

people disconnecting is a problem in many games. the problem is it's hard to distinguish between someone disconnecting to take advantage of some exploit, or someone disconnecting because they really lost connection, or even people that disconnect because they really have to get off the game right away. they've tried penalizing players in other games for this kinda stuff, and it always ends with a shitstorm of people claiming they just lost connection and honestly it happens a lot in this game (it's an alpha, blah, blah..). the other night I lost connection right as I was going through the tents in Stary. right away I knew it wasn't gonna be a good thing. I joined a new server, it actually spawned me outside the tents (cause I guess that's where I last had a connection), but I was killed in about 3 seconds. and I'm sure whoever shot me thought I was trying to pull some slick shit one thing I think should not be allowed is people server hopping with their private locked server. and that seems like something they could control

just get that Six Updater

did you mess with the advanced settings at all? you can probably turn some things up, just make sure AA and Post Processing are off also know that Arma 2 Free only has low res textures, so what you're seeing isn't representative of the full game

did something just happen with the forums?

Honestly the map is fucking huge where did you log out...if you logged out in a high traffic area...then well you have yourself to blame If you were in the middle of no where...then well you beez unlucky as shiat exactly. I get the feeling the TS was trying to server-hop and things went wrong. either way, you should always try to log off in a 'safe' area

does the mic icon come up when you press caps-lock? make sure it's the default device through windows. right click the windows speaker icon, select "recording devices", and make sure it's the default device but I also haven't had much success with Direct Chat since the last few updates...

and then make sure you have it and not you primary weapon selected. I made that mistake lastnight. I was ready to cry foul about it not working but then I noticed I had my enfield out

I hate when players try to dump their train of zeds on me. someone did it to me the other day in the airfield on the south coast. I had just recently spawned, but luckily had already found a hatchet. I was looking through the hanger for goodies, and in runs this unarmed player with 3 zeds in tow. he sees me, and starts running at and away from me to try to get his zed buddies to focus on me. luckily I was able to kill all 3 zeds, but I got hit and was bleeding. I bandaged myself up, walked over to the other player, and chopped his ass up as well. I felt kinda bad, but I was pissed he almost got me killed I was also thinking it would be cool if you could do this with the wildlife. like if you got a bunch of zeds on your tail, you could run near a cow, and they would all attack it instead

new players will have to learn how to play like everyone else. the important part is learning what types of buildings to look for, and where those buildings are located. I've only been playing for a week (solo the whole time) and have no problem finding food, drink, and guns

my main issue is them seeing and/or hearing you through walls and objects. as well as them then walking through the wall to get you. it sucks when you're outside, they're inside a building, you can't see them (although you can usually hear them), and then they just walk through the wall and attack you. as it is now, you just have to be aware and try to avoid these things issues where it takes you out of prone suck as well. and of course breaking your leg when crawling through a door or whatever the way the terrain changes can be annoying too. you could be crouch-walking along through the grass with 1-2 'sight bars', then step on some mystery gravel, your bars shoot up to 4-5, and zeds see you
