our situation is never explained, so you can't assume we had the time or means for preparation. you spawn on the shore, so maybe you were in a boat that sank and had to swim to shore. like I said in another thread, I get the feeling Rocket would like us to spawn with absolutely nothing

the Six Updater just got me this new beta patch for Arma 2 ftp://downloads.bistudio.com/arma2.com/update/beta/ARMA2_OA_Build_94103.log hopefully the new Day Z patch will be soon

uh, I'm pretty sure they can. but I think most people are complaining because their leg got broken for other quirky reasons (crawling through a doorway, crawling around corners, etc.)

exactly. I don't know what the context of this rant is, but it all comes down to how you deliver your complaints. first of all don't call people names, or make fun of the mentally handicapped ;) and don't phrase your criticism like "why is this like this, it's so fucking stupid". there should be no "why" questions. just state your issue, and maybe offer some possible solutions

but the trash loot is in there with the zeds :cry:

I've been playing for a little over a week. I've seen other players with vehicles, I found a bike stuck in the water, but I've never found a vehicle of my own. is there some place they're usually at or around? what should I be looking for?

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
