Funny they never seem to take away my axe...

God give the man a chance guys ... At the end of the day we are data makers every little bit we do is logged in the hive and then gives the devs masses of data to make the best decisions as they see it in the direction of the game. They will then use this data and finally bring us a full game for all to enjoy, and the data will bring us the full game ... in time. Good points Rocket shares the view we should make the gameplay , he makes the tools Arma 3 will be the engine, he would be stupid not to. BI would be mental to not assist rocket to make the full game it would cost them millions. He has/is already working on the 3 engine with BI before he got started with DayZ so he knows whats under the hood so to speak My guess - BI will split the path of Arma 3 to allow full blown DayZ and the projects will run side by side. This way DayZ will continue to evolve as it goes as the engines develop Bad Points We have to be patient And Did i mention we have to be patient Its amazing and tragic how this game affects people and the anger and mass posts when something changes, i would do the same change stuff just to gauge the reaction and how intense people take the change. I would say keep changing stuff rocket until you find the right combo that will make this game as great as i hope it will be one day. But the bit that most forget? Its not a game.... Yet

Ive reported this stuff before but nowt got done that i know of, so doubt ill bother trying again. Just lately and its only an observation, there doesn't seem to be any interest in what we are doing or reporting back. Probably big corporate moves happening and stuff like that. Whilst i don't want them to hold my hand , but i would like for someone to acknowledge bug reports on the dev site or close some of the not needed or fixed ones or something like activity. Hopefully dayz is still being developed?

1.7.2.3 was released a few days ago UPDATE : 13 JULY 2012 Affected addons: * dayz_code 1.7.2.3 * dayz_anim 0.4 * dayz_server (server admins only) This was the last update for dayz I would assume you are talking about ARMA2 Beta Updates which has nothing to do with dayz it has to do with the arma 2 community Which yes does change frequently as they are trying to improve the engine that DayZ runs on. Would you prefer that DayZ or ARMA 2 never got better? Its alpha and a testing mod if you cant stand updates dont play m8 or find a server that doesnt change much This is not a game ...Yet

PvP is not the only thing in the world you know.. Yes it will always be present as in the real world scenario of this game but it must not be the only thing. If it was the way this game went i would get completely bored and go find something else to do. I mean sitting on a hill top and waiting for hours for some poor noob who has nothing to wander into view... really ... yes i will engage if threatened and have killed a few over the time ive played but i dont sit and wait for them. I can under stand sniper stuff i love those kind of games but the body has to have something i want, killing a noob for a bandage which your not going to bother getting makes you and idiot imho Anyway back on topic Some good ideas and some that have already been thrashed around I actually think the "game" when it happens will be radicallly different to this alpha, but we shall see.

Ive just done a manual rollback from 95099 to 94876 until the servers i play update Just for Info Manual Rollback only I uninstalled Battleye 1) C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\BattlEye Run the uninstaller 2) Delete the Beta folder - C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta As the uninstaller for the beta isnt there any more 3) Delete the BEClient.dll in this folder C:\Users\Chimaera\AppData\Local\ArmA 2 OA\BattlEye 4) Reinstall the corrrect beta update in my case 94876 which because the Battleye is missing it will also trigger the battleye install 5) Login to a server and sit for a couple of mins till battleye updates Worked for me

I see that a new build is available ARMA2_OA_Build_95054 Does this solve any issues for DayZ or is it mainly for arma2 ? I normally run with the latest version but since getting burned with the 94997 problems and having to rollback im not so keen to update.

Ill have to wait then until my normal servers catch up :P

Our group just has one vehicle, occasionally 2 but we don't need 8 because we drive them, were out trekking round the map doing stuff which is what they are meant for. Its quite fun when you get attacked and have to road rage to get away :P Vehicles definatly enhance the game

Funny that's what we have atm, Ive reported locked/passworded servers a few times and nothing gets done about it that Ive seen. So i don't think your strict rules works. If this game doesn;t get mired down with all the crap and whining and the hacking etc, when it reaches full game they will be hosted by the makers probably, so renting servers may not be an option then anyway. I'm lucky i play on servers where the admin /group seem sensible and run a good server on the whole and we just get on with the testing.

Ok another few hours playtime on 1.7.2.3 and 94876 Few odd glitches . more like artifacts than anything else so probably me Not found any oddities with putting stuff up or down Its mostly working Found clicking too quick re drinks the same can of pepsi even though its not there. Usual acp-1911 swapout still works when it shouldn't. Zombie single hits can still cause broken bone with bleeding but its not all the time. Zombie detection is borked you can be sneaking away and one a hundred yards away comes galloping in yet the ones nearby ignore you. Gunfire doesn't seem to bring them running like it used to. I fired an AKM in the flats and i got 2 infected ??. Walking upstairs in the apartments still brings them running for some strange reason My friend was upstairs and he moved about three feet in crouch walk on the third floor and three came in the door as the responce They just seem a bit tame when your out and about atm needing upping a touch maybe Performance degraded for my friend after a couple hrs play he had to reload to get his fps back up again That's about it for now ill report more later

Ok just having a thumb through the server list before playing and i noticed a load of servers that i couldn't access. I read this in the rules - IT MAY NEVER BE PASSWORDED - NO LOCKING THE SERVER Yet there's a load doing just this ?? I saved a load of images if any mods etc need them let me know and ill upload them for you I had a quick count on the images and about 24 servers when i looked were either locked or passworded

Like this perhaps

- Game purchase only? (Guild Wars stylez) I hated the wow style of monthly payment and thats why i never played it.And if you have in game purchase for stuff you will create have's and have-not's, as the wealthy can do what they like and the poor cant afford the best gear etc Studio developed but with interaction from the community, bit of both Servers atm doesn't really work despite the rules from dayz people and admins still doing what they like (lack of updating and patching etc) so id have to say Studio Servers Part of the attraction for me and my friends is its all out there you just have to put the work in to finding it ... and keeping it .

I would say the other way, we need a map probably 4 times the size of the current one, makes the exploration so much better.

Ok heres the file http://www.mediafire.com/?q7elmass6b87o14

Had a few hours playing time on 1.7.2.3 and 94876 and no major issues Quite a few red chain links from time to time A bit of lag now and again Zombie behavior seems odd but that could be because we are not used to it whilst they seem to lock on earlier it seems less overall aggro and we were just mowing them down in the street with no major ruckus. Server login times have increased from 1.7.2 back to waiting to create again then eventually it starts to load (30 secs or so) Can still replicate and refill ammo 1911 to 45acp and back switch Animals don't disappear so quick so that's good. Ill post more when i find it but seems fine so far. Thx again guys

Im quite willing to give the benefit of the doubt , but its not my call im just making the observation, if a mod/or whoever needs them doesn't ask for the files then nowt will get done i guess. I dont know where else to post it

This was posted in the other thread maybe its the cause

thanks for the Upload , i use DE servers just not the ones you are but ill have a look sometime. Because its only the changed files i think

Agreed there is too much whinging and not enough reporting back of actual problems. You want to help then go here https://dev-heaven.net/projects/dayz and report the problem in a proper concise manner so that other people can add to it and it will maybe find its way into the game. Whining about ive lost my gun just makes you an idiot imho You have an awesome chance to make this game really special by contributing to the extras that get added on the path rocket chooses. This stuff doesn't happen that often. Dont waste that chance by whinging plz And bear in mind the Devs have to get the base code right now so the servers work properly and the world items and mechanics are correct before they build on top of it the extra stuff that is superficial but needed for the immersion. Can i preorder a little bow for the end of my gun :P

Twice tonight for me

Clearly you dont know wtf your talking about dude, we have all been playing for the last cple months while you've been sat watching tv And a shit load of it has been fixed and changed in that time. Development takes time

That was usefull thanks

Ive seen quite a few locked and passworded from time to time ill try and remember to jot down the servers nxt time EDIT is private allowed?
