The massive assumption that we all like war games is wrong I looked at arma 2 and hated it from 30 secs in so i shut it off and still play DayZ And just to clarify, Im a member of the DayZ community not arma regardless that we use the same engine etc does not mean we are the same community. And arma2 wouldnt have all those sales on its own m8, DayZ did that. Even when arma 3 comes out i would not play it, i came here only for DayZ nothing else.

Here's some of our group footage from a nights play on Lingor Were a small group about 6 members or so but we try to have fun :P

As Ive stated before imho The zombies should be an ever present scary threat (which they are not... more like fluffy kittens atm) But the encounters with other players should be terrifying + the shooting at the player brings real grief from the zombies. Zombies need to be made a lot harder so that scavenging a town becomes a real challenge forcing you to use a gun and precious bullets, which also has the danger of alerting a player to your presence. They should try and trap you in a building forcing a shoot out to get free etc etc you get the picture. But its got to be done sensibly Not im a 1000 yards away and the zombie is already running stuff. They need to turn down the distance and make them more effective all round. One thing i hope they add is make the zombies appear earlier so we cant use them as a way of anticipating players. Thats just daft we need all the survival possibilities possible but sort the duping and make things rare then it will be fine

Ok a quick heads up No this is not the section for lingor island realted stuff No its not because your character is alive No it does not keep your character ( its a seperate hive ) No you start from scratch Please try and read up or use google as the Lingor mod is not supported by the developers

I would like to see a more realistic approach For example In a Post world crash you would not see bloody As50's they would be locked in military installations behind security. Which you are not able to access without special things All the silly ass extreme weapons would not be available, joe public would not be able to buy let alone afford. The weapons should be restricted to what is actually available and should require cleaning for malfunctions etc. Count how many As50's & AWS's you see laying around on your way to the shops ... Not many huh? Im not saying completely remove them but make them so rare and the ammo so rare its a treasured gun if you get one. .... until you die.. People should be saying oooh i found one, it took me a month.. etc Not ive shot 100 people in Cherno with it today

Yes that's true but this is a dayz patch not lingor And yes i am playing lingor as i got completely bored with chernarus but im on .34 which is the the latest So i have no idea why its showing 1.7.2.5.33

I kill them because if i didn't they would kill me. Plain and simple I used to let people pass by i wont now as a good deed gets punished by some idiot, so i just kill em all the second i see them.

For some reason mine shows 1.7.2.5.33 ?? Any ideas why it didnt show 1.7.2.6

Ungrateful idiot its because you are an alpha testing mule, if you cant deal with changing and testing stuff go elsewhere Is this all you people are bothered about?? Geez id sooner have a working mod so that the majority can still play until retail time. And for the general whining .. Grow a pair .. at least something is happening which helps you play. Thanks devs for trying to sort some of the problems out.

Thank you for helping out

Just lately Ive been noticing a trend that i really don't like. People running around with no weapon in their hands making out they are noobs then pulling it out the backpack as soon as your back is turned. And my m8 wonders why i kill anyone on sight if they spot me... And yes i know its part of the game etc but it doesn't mean i have to like it.

Shame there's no manual download as i cant use the other methods.. Hopefully soon

Thanks for the update any chance of a complete wipe and send us back to the stone age to get rid of all the duping rubbish?

If it can be kept away from doors etc and doesn't cause probs then No But if its going to be stupid like the last time then Yes Yes and more Yes

Im not really into the holding them up business, never done and doubt i ever will. We live in suspicious times i guess.

I'm curious about this aspect of the full game I don't and never will play minecraft Ive seen it on my sons PC often enough and don't like the look of it. Im assuming we are not going for the 8 bit look :P But what does it actually entail in the "Minecraft Model" ? Anyone familiar enough with it to comment sensibly? Here's hoping ...

Is this also going to cure the long load times as well? Sometimes i can be waiting 30+ seconds to load any page on here, doesn't make for a good experience.. It happens with latest IE or Firefox, its slightly better when there is less people here which would suggest bandwidth. All other pages in the blink of an eye this is the only slow site i have

Tbh ive played on both sides of Chernarus private and non and also Lingor Island And i have had less problems on private Admins in general seem fine and they care about their servers, the one we play on they are banning hackers and stuff all the time. They are available to ask questions or a team member is, which is drastically different to hive ones as lots ive played on in the last 3 mnths on the hive are absent or are up to no good. The servers arnt always the smoothest but they restart regulary On the whole the experience has been good and i think more people try to play the game on private hive as apposed to the player killfest on hive. On hive it was death every few second from the As50/ghillie combo on private people seem more about doing the game and confrontations just happen as they should do. But that could just be my perspective

I think you are being naive. I know lots who just cant be bothered to mess about with it anymore. Just my opinion, but if the devs had kept in touch a bit more would still be here ... 3- 4 posts would have quelled most of the hundred or so pages on the .2.5 thread. Lots will buy the retail of course they will but if its more of the same BI will still make its money back and the dedicated few will linger on. Id sooner have millions playing a thriving game ... Im still hoping i get my wish but im not so sure its going to happen.

For all you idiots that try to hack Dayz without actually doing the work yourselves by just grabbing the latest hack you see. This is what happens when you do Quote from the Battleye site http://www.battleye.com/

Id have a look and then realise i have all the stuff anyway and move on :P

Ive no idea who the actual team are, or how many there are, has anyone? This is the worrying bit, people are fickle and they will just go elsewhere, other games are out all the time. The group i play in still play dayz nearly every night but we play private servers and Lingor Island because we are sick to death of all the problems(ill not list them again many others have all ready). I still have a character on the main hive but it hasnt moved for 15 days probably because every time i login im back on the beach again or im chucked in a sandbag arena to fight to the death and many other things. Complete waste of time playing it as i cant do what i want to do. One comment about private servers i will make. At least the admins seem to be able to do things like deal with the hackers, and keep control of the wrongdoing. Which is where the system goes wrong with normal dayz because the hive team have too many rules which prevent admins doing their part. If your going to work together for the full release in a similar manner, BI and rocket are going to have to get a better solution to stop some of the worst excess. Unless they plan to host all the games themselves. Back On Topic At least we have had some news. Quote from Twitter from rocket :P

Thanks for the update @rocket I think your a victim of your own success m8 You came up with an idea and a mod that went nuts and people still believe its a full game (because it plays like it and a hundred other reasons). Me and my m8s are still playing every night and we are months into it, and its all we talk about at work, deaths /kills/ tactics etc. I think you had one of those turning points in history where it was just the right thing at the right time, it obviously moves people to be passionate. Just dont fall into the normal big game company path and dumb it down. Be proud of what you created and make the full game magnificent ..

The ammo and gun duping is the problem, when AS50s become extremly rare again and you cant make 50 to stick in the tent with ammo to go with it then less sniping will occur. In standalone i hope he reduces sniper guns and ammo to really really low spawns so it makes them valuable. Not as common as makrovs which they are atm

Its been suggested before in the dev suggestions site either roving military areas with npc patrolling and no guns inside or An instance like the private buildable areas where no guns are allowed
