I imagine a lot of us took a long hiatus (myself included) in the last couple of years - maybe sporadically updated and logged in just out of curiousity - but it's nice to finally see our faith in BI starting to pay off and enthusiasm growing, even in the press!! At the end of it all, 5 years for what they developed is a more than fair amount of time so well done to the development team, warts and all. Now I can't wait to see what the modders will come up with over the next year or two. Anyone want to give me odds that Adult oriented material will be among the first additions? I'll take that bet, anyway! Good times ahead Survivors! And boy does "survivors" mean a whole lot more after how much we've gone through with this game. And even though I know there is still plenty to go, all good things come to those who wait and I'm seeing the signs of those good things appearing on the horizon. Just thought my can of beans no one asked for. :)

I didn't actually realise virtually any of that (night time is hard to miss :P), I was just coming back with the enthusiasm of the hype and had not actually played it in over two years so a lot had changed for me making it seem that IT was actually happening. 2) that sucks 3) I have not tried building a base because I'm also playing survivor solo in the woods somewhere so a basic tent setup is generally more than sufficient. 4) The lack of animals is something I put down to tweaking-in-progress. 5) See #3 above. 6) I see crashed ones eveywhere, what's your problem?! Just kidding, yeah that was one biggie I have a gripe with considering how long ago we were shown the alpha helicopter footage. 7) Same as 6 above. But I was hoping to actually find one, didn't realise they weren't implemented yet. That is a bit disappointing, even just a pedal bike especially now that energy and nutritional levels are more important now. 8) I've only clocked about 40 hours on this new version so can't really comment on soft skills. My beard is coming along nicely though. :) 9) Yup, 100% with you here. Hordes could really make or break the "house-of-cards of promises. It's literally the number 1 prerequisite of any zombie/infected game.

I agree, I'd say tracking people with kills immediately after a log out/in would be very easy. The bad connection excuse could easily be disproven once you look at their overall connection stats. I'm sure there could be plenty of other ways of naming, shaming and punishing these kinds of players. Otherwise, just let us all teleport and make it a game we all hate.

Funny you say that cause actually, afterwards, I set up a landmine right behind the same barrel with another ak (just an empty mag this time and nothing else) and put a tank of petrol in front to cover it up - and to help distract anyone walking in from looking too closely. When I came back yesterday everything in the area was ruined so I think I got my revenge. :P God I love this game.

I have cable reels and shovels I'm willing to trade for land mines and some M4 ammo. Not going to have this offer up for long so make sure to get onto while stocks last. ;P

Oh I see... my mistake has been just exploring around the one server with one "main" character... well two when the other one is offline the odd time...

I must be missing something because I just tend to wonder around forests (on my way to gearing) and never find a tent let alone a base.

So what you;'re saying is...

I've been living de2 experimental prison island for 4 days and the closest I've come to meeting somebody is finding my AK stolen from my barrel. Seemss server hopping iss necesssary evil for the time there is a very small player base. Otherwise you'll just have veteran griefers runiing newcomers when 1.0 launches. Unless I'm missing something?

I never take my clothes off for the water, keep them wet to drenched all the time and you'll suffer very little heat issues.

Forced mic could never work, background noises and general static and interference would make the game itself sound like it's going through an AM radio. I do think we need whisper option though.

I'm having the same issue on AMD RX 480s. Flashing yellow, I think I got it working (sort of momentarily) with whitelist app arma 3 profile but haven't had time to fully explore it. It definitely won't work in windowed mode it seems anyway. Is there any official position on crossfire support at the moment?

Yeah it was a nice aim for 2016 release but it's very common for a project to go over by 12-24 months. Though in it's current state now its a very playable so my patience has been placated again. :) Plenty of time for the helicopters, wolves and hazmat's yet! :)

So I stumbled upon this and never seen anything like it before. Nearly wet myself laughing. Can we have this added as a feature?

It's not my video otherwise I definitely would have come around for a second look but it's bloody hilarious, reminds me of all those old school b-movies, specifically Attack of the 50 Foot Woman. :D

According to your criteria SA probably, especially with it's future. But make sure to read the warning before buying. :)

It makes the game look very retro, almost like a HD version of a PS2 game... but then maybe my memory is warped. :) It might look good to colour blind people too, and I genuinely don't mean that as an insult.

Will the server be US or EU based?

I've never actually RP'ed on DayZ itself but I have heard of a couple; http://www.dayzrp.com/has been around for a while and I've heard great things about it from people. https://twitter.com/tehredzone is a more recent addition to the roleplay scene and generally more intended for use by Twitch streamers than regular players, though some do manage to get through their application process. Edit: I've never RP'ed on RP servers, I regularly do it for fun when messing with KoS'ers or things like that. :P

That's so cool, I can't believe I only noticed it now. It's a shame it goes up relatively quick, it could be a good way of identifying a sniper nest being used frequently. Could be very useful on private and RP servers.

I don't see a point in posting a review in Alpha stage unless you are just saying "I did/didn't enjoy it because it's not finished".

Man I have to say some of the little things that have been added make a huge difference and are AMAZING, I noticed today that when crawling through grass you actually flatten it making a visible mark. Does that mean we will be able to track people? Or is that only showing up locally? I play on max settings everything alllowable. (Except AA)

At this stage I just give connecting 5 minutes each day and if it doesn't work out I keep busy with something else. I was lucky and got a good taste on the first and second nights so I can wait till it calms down a bit now. Besides, FO4 GECK is out too now...sounds like a perfect time to get your modding practice in before DayZ comes out! :)

They're all old arguments against AMD which are really not relevant to next gen at all. Polaris is likely to be more power efficient than Pascal and also be more supported in DX12 and Vulkan APIs. At the end of the day all I care about is performance per euro, it can bake a radiation cake in my case for all I care! And at performance per euro the 10 quid a year on electricity is not really going to make a dent when deciding what card to buy. Still won't know until they're released but early benchmarks show promising results.
