Regardless of what you think, you have to realize that you did, infact, buy ArmA 2 NOT Dayz the mod. I dont know why people cant realise that. You bought a game to play a free mod and thats the bottom line. Stop being such a cheap fuck and support what is going on here. A game created by one man, a game that everyone said couldn't be made, has garnered a player base of over 1 million with an advertising budget of zero and a Dev team of less than 5 people. And its all thanks to us, the players. Rocket has given us an incredible game for free, and the least we could do is repay him for what he's given us. I'd pay: No more than 30$ for alpha 35$ for beta $50 MAX for final product 20$ MAX for DLC I truly want DayZ to be the best game that it possibly can be and i will pay whatever is needed to make that happen. I would have donated something like 50$ if Rocket had started a kickstarter a few months ago. P.S. I discovered ArmA 2 because of DayZ and it is actually a fantastic little sim. Everyone who has DayZ should give it a whirl and you can be damn sure that I will be buying ArmA 3. Cheers

In a survival situation, a person would use any means they can to haul everything they need to survive. You would be able to find shopping carts around general stores and they would be able to hold 2 backpacks, 50 item slots, and 3 weapon slots. You can fill them with supplies and use them as a "traveling tent" however, traveling with a shopping cart has a big impact on your movement speed, making you more vulnerable to players and zombies alike. This idea was inspired by homeless people.

Ahhh youre completely right. My bad lol

great idea

The kind of "zombie" we have is the infected 28 days later kind. I think a zombie would still be able to run and stuff even if it was on fire. I say the brain because tis the most effective way to kill anything and removing the head or destroying the brain is always the most effective method of killing in zombie movies

Understand that this is notreallly a thread that brings new ideas to the table. it is merely a list of reccemendations that i think could vastly improve dayz and make it more fun/challenging.

I want to make it as authentic as possible, but still fun. Nailguns is a no for me personally. As for everything else, sure i wouldnt mind improvised explosives and molotovs. You do know that molotovs would be useless against zombies irl right? it would take forever for fire to actually consume the brain.

I was thinking of more modern weaponry like ak variants all the way from 47 to 74 to 101 all the way to the AS VAL. A mosin nagant and a PPSh41 dont sound like bad ideas at all though.

Many players believe that a class system is the answer to Random deathmatch and a great way of facilitating teamwork. What do YOU think. Weigh in here and post your opinions!

Q: What Engine do you envision the standalone being built on. What improvements will come from the new engine?

I want to preface this by saying that I am admin of two servers and that I have been playing DayZ since winchesters had pellet rounds. I've been playing since 1.6 or 1.5 and never encountered any serious hacking until 1.7.1.5. So like any clan, we have a base. 7 vehicles, lots of tents, some barbed wire and sandbags, all that jazz. About two weeks ago, we logged in and noticed something different. ALL the trees in the immediate area are knocked over, all tents are flattened, all vehicles are now burnt wrecks. As I'm running around my base, three satchel charges go off simultaneously and I am killed instantly. This process was repeated three times over the course of a week. Server gets restarted, destroyed vehicles respawn, we drive around, come back to base, find ALL our stuff destroyed. We get out to see if we can salvage anything from the wreckage. Almost instantly, there is automatic fire. Most of us die, and all of us that are left are blow up by satchel charges. Luckily, i was up on a hill next to our base, I see a guy running around in a ghillie. He runs up to our Ural, DOESNT check the inventory and blows it up with satchel charges. Thats where the hacking suspicion comes in. Any normal player would check a vehicle for loot, any normal player would loot my teamates bodies, any normal player would take atleast one car. But no this guy strolls along and then just logs out. His job is done, everyones dead, hes done griefing people. About a minute later, I notice lots of objects in the sky. They get closer, they look like arrows. Then they get closer, theres easily 100 of these objects between me and the farthest distance i can see. They were bombs. They explode and i die. I then get kicked from MY server. My friend goes to ban this guy in the server's R-Con. The ban option doesnt work to ban him. We try to do it manually. His information is hidden from our server logs. He was technically, never in the server. This hacking thing has gotten out of control. Admins are powerless to stop it. Its completely ruining the game. Hackers have more control than anyone else, even on Battleye "protected" servers. They're not even there to PK or play the game. They are there for the sole purpose of griefing. We cant even fight or see them. They will teleport and blow you up with satchel charges. I find this incessant trolling to be outrageous. And moreover, the information to use these hacks is readily available and its only getting worse. I'm having a hacker encounter every three hours of play. It would be every 5 mins if i spawned at my base. After the event above occurred, we shut down our server for three days and completely changed the name. Iogged in yesterday. I took out my map and looked at we're our base was. There was an "X" on the map at my bases exact coordinates. It had some text next to it. "We're back"

You see, i didnt know about that. Thankyou for notifying me that something is actually being done.

item duping happens wether you do it intentionally or not. In the current version, tents regen thier items following server resets. Also, where there are clans, there are duped items. If i was being killed by duped items, i wouldnt really care. Ok so id get killed by a gun that someone duped, but its still within the contents of the game. The only advantage dupers have is infinite ammo and infinite gear. The above post is a result of Hacking not duplication. And yes i can see why you would think this is funny. 100 bombs? Atleast he didnt turn me into a cow...

An email cant have backers.

Heres some evidence. Idrt its even needed Two blown up buses, multiple flipped trees, a destroyed ATV. Its the only pic i have

I have: HIS Radeon 6950 HD OC Phenom II X4 @ 2.9ghz 8gb G skill RAM 700 Watt Corsair PSU gaming edition 1tb 7200rpm HDD my fps is at 27 in the forests and drops into the teens when I'm in cities. What gives? I'm on maximum settings at 1280x1040

if i had a dime for every time someone said zombie speed should be tweaked...

So i killed a hacker at my base, and he had satchel charges. are they even in game?

hmmm alright

They are so slow. Any survivor with one would be bound to paved roads.

it would act as a vehicle and stay where it is and save to the server

AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA FUCK NO

Rocket already said no to this...

Rocket has already said that he will NEVER implement a mechanic to punish banditry

its better than nothing
