SkrooLoose (DayZ)

Wanted to mention that I've been downloading Lingor for a few hours now and I gave up on trying to download Chen. It's only averaging ~70KB/s. It's taking a LONG time. I'm not complaining... I really enjoy the mod and know you guys are doing a ton of work. Just wanted to mention it in case something might be up with the download server.

Launch A2OA; go in to "Expansions"; disable "@DayZ"; restart; play A2OA.

If you OA for $32 then it must have been awhile ago, because it sells for $20 now.

Significantly less? Combined Ops is only $32 and Operation Arrowhead is only $20. I find it hard to see DayZ being less than $20. Why would B.I. sell (what is obviously) a much anticipated release for less than other games / add-ons currently in their library.

No, thank god. I read about it awhile back. B.I. implemented security which throws bullets everywhere except where you're aiming if you use an illegal copy.

It doesn't harm anyone? Did you think this through before posting? You make an argument that combat logging is bad for the "other" players experience yet zed logging isn't... but what about the player who was taking up position to scout out the town because he noticed zeds were agro'd? Then all the sudden all the zeds disappear, meaning who ever was just in town logged. So now this player's experience WAS just harmed as you described. *edit Ah, for some reason the thread wasn't showing a 2nd page when I posted this, and someone has already given the same response as I have.

I thought the word was that it'll be cheaper for those of us already playing dayz? *I'm not stating this as fact; I'm asking if that's what was said.*

There's a ban appeal forum for private hives?

Ah, alright. Sorry about that.

Giving a player a chance to drop his weapon and stay alive is worse than just shooting them?

Yep, I completely understand that. I just brought up the point because I have read many posts where people simply want to play for the zombie / horror / survival aspect. While that does sound completely boring to some, others enjoy it. They generally seem to understand that killing at times is necessary. But what seems to rub them the wrong way are those who group up and tactically stalk and kill other players for nothing more than the kill. It's not about protection; it's not about needing gear or food; it's not about survival. It's about using DayZ to play ArmA. And that's what upsets so many. Again, I'm not saying what's right or wrong. I'm just reiterating the general picture which is formed after reading so many posts from others.

Maybe many are upset because some try to play DayZ as if it were ArmA instead of actually playing ArmA itself? I'm not saying how the game should / shouldn't be played, I'm just throwing this reasoning out there.

Ah no, don't get me wrong. I wasn't complaining. I didn't know the dogs weren't 100% yet. I just didn't know if there was a certain process to use the dogs which maybe I was missing. The mod seems to be coming along great and I'm enjoying it.

Wow, are you really this pathetic or were you just joking? Who are you to dictate how a game should or shouldn't be played? Who are you to dictate what play style others should be following? And then to top it off by saying that you hope his server fails... Sorry, but it's you who doesn't belong in the DayZ community. Or any community for that matter. If you can't think about others then why be amongst them?

Question about the dogs... how do we use them? I played for awhile yesterday and "tamed" a few but couldn't figure out how to actually do anything with them. When the tame option came up, I selected it and the dog disappeared. Then in my scroll menu I had the "move to" option, but selecting it does nothing. For each dog I tamed, I had a separate "move to" option but couldn't do anything and had no way to remove it.

You could just download the free version of ArmA 2 and then buy OA. Honestly though, in my opinion, with all the different maps and mods available on the private servers right now, I'd spend the $40 if I had to. Even after the stand alone releases, I'll still be playing on the modded servers. There's just too much fun to be had.

I'm having the same problem myself. I ran it and it didn't find my @BreakingPoint folder, when in all actually it's where it has always been. As seen in the picture, the @Breaking folder is there yet the launcher stated it's not.

Nope. The old launchers never give the option to launch the game. They've always stated to download the latest version of the launcher. Last time I fired it up, the old launcher took me right to the download for the new launcher (which, I'd like to add is a nice feature), I downloaded the latest version, and ran the updates. After that is when I had the issue listed above. *edit As a matter of fact, it just did it again. I just downloaded and installed the newest launcher, it updated, and I got the large error message about deleting unsigned files (or whatever that huge message is). I believe the problem comes from the fact that earlier I played on a different server running a different modded version of DayZ. In order to get that one running I had to manually disable @breaking in the A2OA expansions. So just now, when trying to launch the Breaking mod, I still have to go in and manually enable it first. The launcher doesn't automatically do it. Like I mentioned before, it's not a problem for me because I know what the issue is and how to quickly resolve it. But others may not know that they may have to check to make sure it's enabled.

Hey guys... did you give up on the server? It's been quite awhile now since anyone can get in to the server? It just hangs on the loading screen.

Actually, yesterday when I first tried joining with the new launcher I too couldn't get in. I got the "bunch of files need signed or removed" message. But I knew that was just a matter of me simply having to launch A2OA and enabling the @Breaking mod. Once I did that it launched fine with the launcher. I didn't bother mentioning it because I knew what to do... but some others may not.

With all the outhouses around, finding shit shouldn't be too surprising.

Ah yes, I had that problem before also and forgot to mention it.

Ha. I was just getting ready to post here about the crossbow. I was on the server last night and used it for the first time and loved it. No one else was on so I just went on a zed kill spree from Electro to Cherno. http://youtu.be/j4DDtACwdm0

I do agree, to an extent. I too wish the necessities were much more rare. But lets not forget that there has to be a line between a harsh existence and keeping a server full. When players are literally dying from starvation after only a few hours of game play, it's going to start thinning out server fairly quickly.
