37 UK, Survivor and Medic. Skype details in my sig for anyone who has a medical emergency or is just looking for a group. I've been playing Arma 2 since it's release, play lots of different Arma 2 MP missions and mods so feel free to ask me questions about installation, different mod setup and game mechanics also. Edit: It appears that two threads got merged, hence my two posts close together on this page.

I'm 37 years old and I recently got my ass whooped by a 74year old on Dirt 2 and I consider myself pretty good at that game. I'm hanging around Cherno and Elektro atm, trying to help new spawns get some decent loot before they venture off in to the interior. I also like to visit the sniper camp locations around the cities and clear out those nasty bandit snipers. I'm on skype when I take a shift at being a medic or looking for some team play.

This is fantastic, DayZ team release an update and it fixes some stuff and breaks others. No, I'm not being sarcastic or trolling. Testing new implementations and ideas is part of the alpha process and it's progress, whether that progress is positive or negative matters not. With each build the devs learn something new and can use that knowledge to build a better final release. People bitch and whine about final releases that are full of bugs and accuse devs of poor testing and QA. We get to be involved in a project from very early on in it's development and could have an impact on it's direction. WTF are we whining at ?

So you found a good sniper spot on a low pop server, then server hopped to a high pop server gain kills and more loot chances, then whine about a player Alt-F4ing. You and the sniper are both ****s imo.

I pre-ordered Carrier Command HD from BIS, I'm not sure what engine that uses but I'd imagine it's based on the current Arma/RV3 engine core and it looks and feels very different to Arma 2 too. I don't see why DayZ couldn't get it's own incarnation of the RV3/RV4 engine and tools also.

You replying directly to me ? Squad made KSP available for a minimum donation, I think it was $7 at the time I purchased it. This give the community access to beta builds and the final release. The $7 was a discounted pre-order price and I donated a lot more than $7 for this wonderful little game. I'd pay above a minimum donation to get beta/early access to DayZ too. I appreciate how much time and energy that goes into a project like this and am willing to pay good money for good products. I'm a massive supporter of the gaming industry by simply buying and not pirating any of the hundreds of games I play too.

Congratulations to Rocket and all the devs involved. I'm so glad DayZ is going to be made 'proper' and equally excited that BIS are involved too. You(the devs) should consider making pre-orders available via a minimum donation. Squad did this with Kerbal Space Program, I and many others paid above the minimum donation to get access to the beta builds and final product. Good Luck DayZ team. I really am so happy for you :thumbsup:

I've never had cause to use them. I think the chance of getting an infection is as rare as the chance of finding them.

I've mentioned this in other threads on hacking, the fact that hacks are so much of a problem is because of the very thing that allowed DayZ to happen in the first place. The VR engine has a very powerful editor and scripting language allowing for some of the best mods made for any game out there. Project Reality, Advanced Combat Environment, ACRE, the MSO scripts, community made maps and weapons systems, the list goes on. Rocket has had to hack/script Arma 2 to it's core to get DayZ working and BIS has helped him and other mod makers achieve the similar. BIS has a hard task to do, they have to help squash hacks without harming the the very thing that makes these mods achievable in the first place. I'm afraid we'll have to deal with hacks until DayZ goes standalone.

OK please stop trolling, it's Insurgency on the Takistan map and you know it

Lol that's not DayZ, it's not even on the Chernerus map. Anyone can spawn as a bird in the Arma 2 armoury.

I've only ever had to use a heat pack once so don't carry them any more. Maybe when winter comes they'll be more useful, I'm not sure what time of year the servers are set too at the moment though or if they even follow real time seasons. Arma 2 proper does have settings for time of year when you set up missions. Anyone know the answer to that ?

I made a pointless thread yesterday apparently, fair enough, I may of done. Some fool came in and highlighted the fact he thought it was a pointless thread and bumped it. Pretty much what I'm doing now. Sometimes people can't help being internet tards, myself included.

Typical, all mouth no substance. Pretty much sums up the attitude on these forums. Takes all day to trawl through all the shit talk posted. You feel better now ? Seriously though, what do you think about the metagaming elements of DayZ, good or bad ? Edit: Thanks for editing the insult out of your initial reply. My point still stands though.
