Seems to have improved a bit last few days, thx guys

It will be the same engine as Arma3 quote from reddit Its the same engine just they are dividing the path so Arma3 has its own and DayZ will have a modified engine to allow them to remove and change whats not needed and add in what is i guess. So basically Arma 3 DayZ style :P

Thats interesting stuff being able to see the similarities, thx for posting

Me and a friend keep getting put on the coast each time Getting annoying now, we have had to stop playing as its pointless running across to group up then doing it again the next login. Please have a look at this devs..

This was added to the feature requests a long time ago https://dev-heaven.net/issues/35534

I dont think there is a way to tell other than enter the server I think but dont quote me its something admins can turn off so its gonna be donwn to the server really

Good suggestion I like it !! But i would suggest both but we also need deer to make it believable

Your just giving them another special way to kill you if you have got it in your hands at the time The Wank Kill ? The Lust Kill? I dont even want to contribute anymore aaaargh

I'm sure they will "come" to some sort of agreement ... on how stupid this thread is :P

Lol id vote for that You can just picture all the little weiner faces when they realise they are bright pink, id spend days hunting them down

Absolutely start with a fresh sheet for all including the cheaters. Personally i hope the bloke who makes the maps for Arma (cant remember his name but clever fellow) makes one 4 times as big for retail DayZ and includes hidden stuff caves/ abandoned military bunkers/ fortresses etc

Congrats to all the team You made a fantastic creation and with our help, you will now get to make the real thing. At least it is following the common sense path i suggested a while ago would happen. e.g. BI would bring him into the fold and split the Arma3 path to allow a different route that can still use code from either path. Not my business but i hope BI gave rocket a large bonus for selling so many copies of an old game. Moving forward an end to some of the worst aspects of the game DCing, hackers etc, finally will get some sensible gaming, Ive put many many hours into this game/mod and on the whole it was a very pleasurable experience which has reminded me how good online gaming can be, prior to this game i hadn't bothered for 5 + yrs, i was sick of games that glorify killing just for the sake of it and also some of the things that happen in DayZ camping etc. But in DayZ you come to realize that real life enters the game and real people bring their own morals with it and that's what makes it the game what it is. A few thoughts going forward to rocket Please Don't !! Be swayed from the path by corporate mentality, by its very nature in a games company they will try and make you follow the path they have always followed and this will spoil the game. Because this is a new breed of realism game, and if that is changed by corporate thinking it will just end up with the cod/BF games and fail. Don't just allow for one type of gamer, you have a rare chance here to make all sides happy, maybe some of us don't want to build underground compounds and just explore instead. I couldn't care less about killing other players but my m8 relishes it, there has to be a balance for all Please Do !! Stick to that idea in your head of what the game needs. You've been right so far for the most part. Make use of the better aspects of Arma 3, it will look fantastic Definitely stop the DCing and the duping and the hackers. Make use of use what about an alpha test only open to to those of us who have logged 20+ steam or game hours in game, i don't mind signing an NDS or even an extra skin for those that faithfully reported faults on the devheaven site, you get the picture. And we get to pay again, so be it , it will be well worth it to say in some small part. I helped to make that game possible .....

The vehicle kill is hard to get Im upto 1 Death and 1 wounded so far with vehicles 1 Clean Roadkill with V3S and the other i clipped him with a Quad and put him down bleeding but i left him to repair and moved on

We are a group of friends looking for a new home . [4-5 of us] We have tried several servers which have either gone pear shaped or had suspect admins or hackers etc Our last server which we had more than a month on has changed names more times in the last 2 days than i change underwear and is resetting every time you achieve anything. We are not battle hardened veterans but more regular players who will kill if challenged. Ideally we would like GMT-6 as we all play from UK 9pm onwards till 2am and we don't do night play 3DP On CH On And if luck was smiling on us Map On, so our guide can find where we are :P But the last one is reaching a bit But what we need is a server where admins are around and contactable Server does not restart because admins toys are missing. And just some friendly people to kill or be killed by. Any suggestions as we are getting a bit tired of constantly trying to find a nice server Sorry but no US servers the ping is a killer for us in uk

Ok i know hackers are everywhere but a server that at least tries to keep control even though its very diffucult for them is preferable Im aware its generally regular but a lot turn it off [ it is a lessor requirement to finding a home though] I would expect a server to be restarted regularly as a matter of course just not after i nicked the admins truck or killed his best m8 etc. Friendly: i m not talking about best buds i will shoot on sight make no mistake and so should they, im taking about friendly and welcoming sort of place where we feel comfortable. Thx for the offer from jackwitter but US servers are no good for us, the ping is too high

Ghillie is fine but drop your pack first move away and put on the suit then go and pick up your pack

Came across a murderer last night he killed 2 of the party within a couple of secs and i legged it under a hail of bullets and hid until i could find where he was, eventually i retrieved the corpse items for the lads, he never even bothered to look

I noticed in the last few days one of the servers we sometimes use seems to be changing names and messing about rolling back to 1.7.2.3 It started as DE 90 which we used on and off quite regularly i think it was run by blacky in the title but not sure, the admin was very slow at updating and never seemed to be around Then it changed to De 88 on the 30th and seemed to have an active admin for a while Lastly it changed to DE 157 and its been up and down like a yoyo all day with it going offline at 19.51 and it appears to be locked and down Its annoying as id found a vehicle and stashed some loot and the usual stuff we do in Dayz, and now before it went down it rolled back to 1.7.2.3 and everything is lost. Now im not bothered about the loot etc although it is annoying, its alpha after all. But why do these servers change like this? can anyone explain?

Possibly but now since it went offline the last time its been locked and playing with 2 players in it on and off Its starting to look dodgy for DE 157 and i wont be going back in there so i guess its time to find a new home, shame it used to be a good server :o(

Yes we know but you play it as a game ffs Anyway ... It has good and bad points, hopefully some of the good stuff will be even better if it reaches full game . I think if they wait to long there will be releases from the main houses and they will miss the boat in a sea of clones. But that aside using arma is a good start for the testing, arma 3 will improve what can be done but will need a DayZ breakaway path to achieve what the game is possible of. Because arma is open to community its also open to abuse that will need looking at definatly. On the whole its been a good game and im still playing after 2 months and ive reported as much as possible to help make it better. The weird thing with DayZ is how it divides the community when people post opinions.

Alpha !!

Which is against the rules, its supposed to be a persistent world for all not just your mates

You can be sure he wouldn't have that many if he had to go up against someone at close combat in a field. Sitting in a bush or tower sniping noobs and login out at any sign of aggro isn't gaming dude (and yes im assuming). I rarely get above 4 because we take people on face to face

You are probably correct though, unfortunately by having this attitude they most most of the thrills this game gives. Dont get me wrong we have a stash as well but we were operational before going back there. I don't think you can ultimately, someone will always get the jump on you. We got killed near our truck last night, don't know how he managed it we jumped and stayed behind the truck my m8 was prone nr front bumper angling for a shot and he was dead one shot. I was behind vehicle and was seemingly shot through the vehicle? Either way we both died and had to start again. Thats DayZ i guess

Somebody commented about zombies had to see you My m8 stood right in front of one and it was banging into him trying to follow its path, he kept moving and jigging about and it just ignored him. Zombs were well weird last night And i got my favorite respawn last night and im back up and running with alice pack and essentials all the way from Kamenka and back with my teammate after loads of adventures. Dunno why people moan about the spawns. But then i don't just run across the map i play the game and check deerstands and buildings and generally do things within the game, me and me m8 both got killed he got Cherno and i got Kamenka we still managed to get to a meet at Zelenogorsk and get to Aircraft sites and a load of other stuff we did last night. If all your going to do is run to your m8s tents to reequip in a panic and not enter any buildings to find stuff or engage any zombies. Why are you here ?!?
