You sometimes have to try other guides to get the best results. Since the engine is changing, aim more for Arma 3 tweak guides, you might find that useful in the near future of dayz. Just saying prepping ahead of time, works for me :)

Not much in the game to be worth not crying about. I had to take a break, as the constant push backs are mind numbing say the least. Ill be back though. I check into the forums from time to time, and whine some more like the rest of you guys hehe

Takes tons of man power, and tons of cash to make it right. You can almost quit your day time job just filling in the environment. I know, been doing some of it myself. So many hours spent trying to make a perfect game play. I can only dream remaking a whole mod, or SA game without some assistance making it right. SA will be good, it wont be the same as the mod in the end. It will however take a good number of years to make it right. If only they can jump over some of these horrible bugs, maybe that arma 3 engine will destroy some of that, and push the team past it all.

I've been telling people to try Arma3 Epoch, or Arma 3 with mods. Really a sight to see. All for the sake of pvp etc.. not really much anyone can do but loot and kill zombies. Very boring atm. I hope it gets better myself, looking forward to searching through houses, or the woods and a group of bandits come at me. But you cant force people to play alpha in its current state, if they find it boring then by all means try other games to fill the void until its a more polished game. Hopefully the Zeds are fixed prior to beta, to a more meaningful spawn.

Alpha should have been hosted by BI, so they could have paid for testing. After alpha then start introducing server hosting, to get all the bugs out. Right now, without subscribers to private hives or public your pretty much paying for the whole shot yourself. The changes also may prove to be too much to some and felt the hosting is a waist of money.

Its just villagers poor services. Every time I go with them, something is completely broken. Such a poor service provider :( First it was dayz, then it was arma 3 servers. Wipes, crashes, hangups oh boy. Don't get paranoid OP, its not always admins doing anything. Sometimes its the damn DNS not syncing with the master hive or its random weirdness with most of vilayers services. I swear, hosting dayz was a complete waist of money, and horrible work on admins end. For the money spent, we got took. Dayz was much to blame on some things hosting poorly in alpha, but I am sure one day it will get better. For the enjoyment factor? none other then hanging out with your friends. This doesn't excuse the poor admins and players renting services to PVP - rage loot so they can pvp on random(s) all over different servers. That is grievers and should be dealt with, by removing public services and go with private ownership. Its abuse like this that makes companies lose potential revenue or lose its client base.

Sigh, Call of duty and battlefield feels like an arcade game, spawn and re spawn over and over repeating maps. I've played them all, great games in there own genre. I feel as you should add America's Army to that list. I do recommend those that love Dayz to really test out Arma 3. So much you can do. Do refer to what type of game you want to play as, or all. Roll playing servers, as robbers or cops, or you can play Dinosaurs, and war type games. The mods make it exciting, and experience those modders out there with experience beyond. The combat system stands by itself in Arma 3, Different mods offer different weapons, clothing, items in general. You can fly jets, or helicopters. The vehicles are awesome. Like I said the mods make it all worth while. Do experience it, because it will give you a better understanding of Dayz. Dayz has many features like mods in Arma. It was on sale, for like 50% off and a bunch of us purchased it. Myself I ended up paying like 130+ cdn and another 27 for the new marksman, dlc. I am not selling you on it, just giving you another experience game, before beta comes.

That is so true, if Dayz allows modding it would open up lots more to do for those whom love PVP. Base building is awesome. in q4 should be loads of fun. Nothing wrong with vanilla either, have fun and enjoy it. I just don't know the direction yet of Modding or Hosting. So many unknown answers, left open now. I will however wait until beta is around the corner. I've done my time testing products, items and reporting issues. I am rather burnt out of that. .55 was a prime example why I didn't carry on with limited resources. Until then I am enjoying scripting and arma 3. So much to do, and experience. A well rounded game.

@op Arma :) even the AI are better then most of the dayz pvp's lol

Back on track with the topic, unless you take some clampy bipod it just wouldn't work. Even with one it'd be awkward as hell, and you'd need to make sure it doesn't stick very far above the rifle as it'd take up the space inbetween your rear and front sight post. How about taking sticks like you'd make a splint and instead have a makeshift bipod to prop up a rifle. Like a little X shape held together by rope or rags, I don't know. Anything is better then that sway, a rock, the ability to see over the grass laying down. After running for so long I can say yes to a 6-8 inch sway but with the ability to stop that quickly. The current system seems so unlikely even for those cherno's hands :) Now do we a favor, Heav. Run up one of those mountains I see you shooting those awesome looking rifles and see if you have a 6 foot swing aim catching your breath HAHAHHA... Remember that you have a zombie chasing you or some enemy right behind you. Stop, Aim and see if you have a 6 foot sway. Heck even see if you can see one of those black bears chasing you.. I have to stop, I keep remembering those good old days.

would be nice if half the mechanics in dayz worked the way it is suppose to be. After playing Arma 3, with mods I am happy to say its filling my void of special effects. I cant wait for dayz to be completed, as long as it isn't boring. I would play WarZ, infestation for that pleasure. :(

I wish I was out west again, Live in Ontario. I love Alberta, BC some day ill retire there I said. Southwest Ontario really doesn't have all that much :( Are those your guns? would love to test those baby's out. Especially the one in the center hehe

Id be careful installing any mods for SA at this time. Until you get full confirmations from the Dev.'s that its approved. Its not like arma series where we can mod, because its a platform. This is a Standalone product, with Anti cheat enabled. Doing so might ban you on the next ban wave.

and, shutting down server hosting as well until at least beta, whist all the bugs are fixed so server hosters don't say things like "Hey EH its buggy you know" lol but I get you hicks, improve on the good old days of alpha, beta testing when you actually placed your name, and address to the name you tested from. But then again no funding, blah!

Do you ever get the feeling your being ignored?

Hate to say it but now you have to take "Wobo" videos with a grain of salt now, because with every patch something else gets broken or changed. In that very case, sometimes its shear luck the zombie one hits a solid character, other times it takes 15 hits to do any sort of damage. Nobody at this time can explain what is the current system, or what is not. I love wobo's videos, they are great.

Ah heck, just drink it.. You only live once =D

no I am meaning arma 3 zombie clones get squashed by BI. Its in their policy. If anyone tries to make an exact copy. Squashed. I love arma 3 now, since buying it after .55, I think it blows dayz away. But I still will hold onto dayz, because it smells better :)

The final game :rolleyes:

I'd like to know too, must have turned all updated ports off lmao. still how?

It will be changed, like every other patch. For the rest of those hating this patch: This is a test folks you need to realize this most likely wont be the final game look. Actually we can bet on that one. There will be more patches, changes and more changes and each week you will hate and love it like others do. Each patch to stable, its I love this patch, I hate this patch, I quit this patch etc... put the game up, come back when its more to your liking. Its not final, and its in your steam directory and you don't have to play it, until the patches are more to your liking. Heck you already paid for it, why not just wait until it goes to beta. After all you don't have to be the alpha tester. Offer suggestions. Crying on the forums don't really get you anywhere. Offer up bugs and suggestions are the way to get heard, and some strong advice always helps the dev.'s Just saying

squashed as in the dayz - Zombies mods, or some of them.

Ill tell you why.. It wasn't because of the Dayz the way it is. Its because everyone said they could do it better, or didn't like some methods. I can make a Dayz mod better in Arma. Sorry but you didn't find out the real facts, by asking those Modder's why they wanted to create a Dayz type mod. Arma 3 got squashed already. Some of these Modder's are really good and have the ability to hash out some pretty decent mods. They don't have the time a whole team has to circle jerk around some artwork but they do their best. Others just wanted to try. When SA is done, it will look great, I am sure. But players will still go play other games with different mods, and abilities. I am torn between both (except the current state of Dayz). Some just don't plain care about the games, they like to mod and try to be better. I am not a Modder by any means but I am learning to script, and update my own server with the mods they provide. Its a butt load of work. (just to figure out what someone else was thinking, no documentations). Now remember BI has squashed anyone trying to make a better mod then dayz, its been already done FYI. (Artwork doesn't play a part)

Sounds like everything is in place, except the zombies and the AI pathing, clipping through ground etc. I wonder what is causing this to happen? I was hoping that the team would wait until the AI was completely working before putting it into stable. Items seem to be a major concern still, in development. I would think getting the AI, Controls, and then work on the items would be my priorities. This is why I wont play until the controls are working better. I feel I am not alone in that decision. I don't wish to test buggy AI week after week.

I agree with the whole statement, and those that think this is the final stages your mistaken. This isn't the dayz final, stop defending it with a handful of people. Your testing the bugs and new loot, plain and simple. Just your paying the devs to test it for them. I walked away till final release. Not spending another dollar so others can hop servers and pvp elsewhere.
