Tbh i went the free with OA route and i can get it to look real nice but obviously i have a high end machine Back on topic You need these to run DayZ Arma II Free <<< Free to Get Arma II Operation Arrowhead <<< Costs about £15 ish DayZ <<< Free Mod For the above Or wait for the standalone version Dec/Jan

Possibly contact one of the mods or the community coders or rocket himself and see if they require it

Being the cynic that I am I would imagine a certain percentage would deliberately keep you squirming for their own amusement. But other than that it would also be good if your noise triggered zombies as well.

Well done as always guys and thank god the L85 is gone. you could remove the FAL version as well for me. community effort rocks...

If i wanted to play Stalker then i would, lets find some new ideas instead I wish they had locale maps like uk and usa etc etc so we could play on other countries set-ups just by logging onto their servers, but the internet is not a forgiving animal and the ping would be a killer

It would be stupid to remove the option from the servers For some of us that suffer from motion sickness , 3rd person is the only way i can play the game. 1st person makes me incredibly ill within a short space of time as the input from my eyes differs from the liquid in my ears as I'm sat still but my brain thinks I'm looking to the side etc. So for me 3DP ON is a must At the end of the day if you don't like it play on the servers that dont use it...

Thx for having a look ill report back if i go in again.

Had a play earlier it was ok Lots of glitches flickering bushes, white roads that had been added onto the map and the colour didnt work High hills not that impressive for ground cover Black buildings which turn white at wrong angle No loot that i could find ( didnt find a single thing in nearly an hour ) and yet server was full ish No zombies either I think it will need tweaking before i try again

Thanks for the reply ill ask the others

Im just curious where is the server located as we play on UK/EUR mainly. So i would be interested in knowing Thx P.s the form isnt accesible unless your a member

Shame the same cant be said for the proper hive... If it was the case i would still play on the normal hive

Despite who the concept belongs to As far as the map goes ive stopped playing it, without trying to offend its fine for 100-150 person server but no use for 40 You run more than you do in Chernarus lol It looks nice but not enough buildings to access and no loot to find if you do And as far as the anti cheat solutions The sheet i was in had a possible hacker in it running round blowing buildings up in the town with satchel charges ...?? in a ghillie and dmr and a vehicle. So i guess a little more needs to be done

Im sorry to say im not blown away on the one i tried Hardly any loot ( Big lack compared to Lingor but tad less than Chernarus) Never saw another player Never saw a vehicle Spent all my time running ... Hardly any enterable buildings (that i found) but that could be me.. It worked ok zombies were triggered silly style 2 miles away as normal (i wish they would fix that) Usual one zombie hit bleeding (i wish they would fix that as well) Ill try again later with a squad m8 but god knows how ill find him ....

Thanks for clarifying, i wouldnt know im just a player. As long as the devs of both sides get together for the betterment of the game all will be well.. A what if for you. What if a amatuer dev who was on a private hive worked out how to do 300 person server and it never came to light, how sad for the game and the community would that be ??? Work together guys, i know the admins and devs etc have had differences but work at it. We will all reap the benifit then

Well done guys about time Shame it couldnt have been done before, but thats another story. I dont know which they use on the vilayer servers for lingor but there is quite a number using the same hive and overall seems like they are well in control of it with tweaks and stuff so probably worth finding out. Just dont tie them in red tape and silly rules though or they wont help, and they already proved they dont need the main hive... Keep up the good work

I agree I played about 2 months on cherarus and was fed up to the teeth with all the antics on there + i got bored we had driven every vehicle, found all the good stuff, zombies arnt challenging, no end game or further potential etc etc equates to bored i guess So we play on Lingor now, active admins, friendly players (in chat), and just much better. My only hope is that the devs take the rush to private hives seriously and make sure the game is bulletproof because if i buy the retail version and im getting blown in the air or teleported etc all the usual things i will just stop playing. Which would be a shame as its a really good concept

I play with this dude most nights and he really isnt a bandit as such we just put ourselves in the thick of it. We did all the explore stuff in the early dayz but now there isnt much to do other than run round lingor and shoot lol (and its not like others hold back is it) Until the real DayZ happens then we get to start again with a clean sheet.

Rocket has said he will provide the tools and we build the game in how we use them Games like this are very rare FFs people the mod is like it is because the origanal game engine is exploitable why can no one understand this it has nothing to do with dayz Arma was built for modding so dont be surprised if people can exploit it The biggest problem with DayZ at this time is perception It was built from an idea on the back of a fairly decent engine which allowed them to make what to all looks and feels like a game but it isnt.. Its an information gathering tool to build a game from The fact that it went nuts and massivly over subscribed is not anyones fault but we prob can expect a game because it did that. Be thankfull that it did.. it might be the best game we see in a long while.

Zombies attracting other zombies When you trigger a zombie which needs sorting for the standalone to remove the dont trigger at 2 paces but trigger at 100 mts stuff and addition i propose is As the zombie triggers its screams as it sets off which makes the other nearby zombies take an interest. Therefore turning them in you direction and possibly making your life harder if they catch sight of you. Zombies hanging onto you If you get mobbed by them maybe some form of grab mechanic for the zombies maybe round your leg to make it harder to get away until you have killed the hanger on.. So if you wernt carefully they could impede your progress and pull you down.. Zombies in houses When more enterable houses is a reality then have zombies inside the houses and do things like your sneaking along a wall of a house near a window and the zombie inside smashes the window and tries to grab you through the window. I think this one would really shit you up if you wern't expecting it And lastly more of a gripe than an idea Find a way to stop people using zombies as a player check, make the distance greater so that its not possible, therefore you can never be sure which adds to the danger.

Which is not what im talking about that was a bug Im talking about smashing windows and trying to grab you through the window different thing altogether

Or maybe implement a hand carried holdall so you can only carry a pistol while lugging it around Increased risk/reward

Amen to that brother Has anyone noticed how the screaming for stuff has gone subtle now everyone makes suggestions that will gradually take away why i started playing. Dont even tempt me to mention CoD kiddies etc... :P Heres my tenpenneth It should be realistic as far as is humanly possible within the boundries of the code. You should not find all you need without extensive looking (in a apocolypse people wouldnt say as they were dying ooh player xx is coming so ill put out his pyjamas on the floor ffs) We need better loot pile less empty cans and make empty cans non selectable as the scroll item so the can can only be accessed by the gear menu (ie when there is a can and a bandage the can is the pickup item..) Get rid of all the silly weapons (all fancy hardware AS50 e.g. would be locked in secure military bunkers or sites it would not be laying in a fecking tent for eg or at a heli site) Ammo should be found by the bullet not the clip, full clips would be rare. Make zonbies tons harder and then survivng will mean something

At least we will be there right from the start Ive played about 3 months and i wouldnt miss it for the world but when the standalone starts ill be changing over fairly quick. All this was just the getting up to speed to release a standalone. AAs to the OP's question If you want to get a feel for DayZ then spend your money for armaAO but dont buy the all singing and dancing ArmaCO, just get the AO If you dont want to get acustomed to a mod that will be different (probably very different) to the final game just wait. Its up to you

Thanks these are more for the make them harder and more of a threat in the game cos lets face it they definatly are not in the mod

And that's the spirit of using hacked weapons and sitting on a hilltop with an AS50 and snipping noobs is it? Or throwing everyone in an arena and give them axes to kill each other etc etc I did about just under 3 months on the hive and we wer lucky to have as few deaths to hackers etc as we did. But the community is missing as every one shoots whether they have to or not On private where i have been for the last month we still kill each other but at least people go ey up m8 hows it going as soon as you enter and you can have a chat if you want. id be quite happy to let people go without them knowing how close to death they were but on the hive i cant i must kill for self preservation On lingor we just have fun
