To me, the DayZmod should be some sort of trial for the standalone. Make it so that people are able to have a sort of glimpse of the game. And if they like it maybe buy the standalone.

I feel for you man. And that is why I've stopped playing. Yes, I've killed many people myself and shot first because, unfortunately this is the only way to have fun through DayZ. Trying to talk to a stranger now is just going to equal death. I remember too when random survivors cooperated. I fear XXI that the community has gone to shit.....for now.

What other map would you want it to be? Fallujah? or hilly takistan for that barren feel? OR maybe a map from your own perverted imagination! Spit our your ideas to your hearts content!

WRONG. You need friends to play with you to provide you 360 vision! So it is possible to look in all directions with a little help from your friends....if you have any, which I doubt after reading your posts in this thread.

LOL

Dude. Chill out. Your killing the mood man.

I really enjoy the fact that this happens on friday saturdays, really fits in my schedule! You guys are very organized! Definitely joining! I pmed you Publik! Excited to help out!

Sometimes people get too angry playing this game. So why not take a little coffee break and play what ArmA 2 has to offer other than DayZ! It's a great time to do so with the patches having a few little problems that tend to twitch our nerves! Take a good look at Project Reality for ArmA 2, where people can get a little nice glimpse of team co-ordinated battles in public servers. Invasion 1944, a WW2 mod for those enthusiasts(and I know many of you are!) to try out bundles of weapons, cars, tanks, and airplanes! World War 2 not your type? Prefer other stuff? Well complain no more Armaholic has everything you want in ArmA! Just bringing a little joy in the forums since everyone has been pretty douchey lately due to all the problems with the patches recently. As rocket does his best to solve many of these issues please consider my alternatives! DayZ is great and ArmA 2 outside of DayZ is great also!

I love watching Shacktac videos! They're astounding and filled with awesome in every single video!

How old are you? You paid $30 for ArmA 2. DayZ Is not a game. Think he was just being sarcastic there haha! I've managed to get a whole lot of my buddies into some awesome I44 and got them a little into realism (almost there to fully converting them).

No starting weapon equals more deaths, YES. Once you get used to sneaking around zombies and find a weapon, value of your life AMAZINGLY INCREASED. I find that people will be more less gung-ho with no starter weapon. Yes, it will be a bitch from the get-go, but hey! Now atleast you'll know that the survivor that just spawned won't be shooting at you and bandits(hopefully) won't be shooting at you! Another point with the no starter weapon is to get you more attuned with how the zeds work in the new update, once you know how to get around them you'll be more prepared to survive! I really think Rocket is trying to get more people to value their life more in DayZ. And gotta tell you Rocket, it is working.

I believe in bug fixing thats for sure! But balancing....what sorts of balancing does he mean?

Date/Time: 12:20 AM What happened: I have played a little with a friends and we were in the factory south of Polana. My internet bugged out and I lost connection, when I joined back in I found myself in the wilderness with a bunch of survivors with no name. I logged out and joined a server that shows where I am. Where you were: Factory south of Polana What you were doing: Looting. *Current installed version: 1.7 *Server(s) you were on: Dallas 48 *Your system specs: Windows 7 Ultimate (SP1) - AMD X4 8550 - 2GB RAM - Video Card Radeon 4850HD *Timeline of events before/after error: Was looting factory and lost connection in a concrete shed.

The server has set an insanely low ping limit, I tried to join and had a constant ping of 110-140 and get kicked out of it constantly, its a shame....it was fine a few days ago.

^Yes to the disappeared humanity score now there should be no worry with how you play it.

Water would be a bitch in takistan.

Your theory is that evil(people who constantly kill for the joy) have a better survival rate than those who don't kill people can vary. I do agree that there should be some sort of punishment for evil people as there are people who just spawn and start killing until they die just to cause some other person to lose valuable loot. This sort of play simply isn't survival, just mere "griefing" and this system will dissuade people to play like that. On the other hand you shouldn't make the punishment too high for those who kill within reason (Oh, I need beans and I prefer to kill than to loot). It'll need a lot of tinkering that is for sure. Edit: Survivors who choose not to kill can live longer than evil characters, and that just because they don't kill and gain karma for that isn't fair. What I suggest is you can only gain karma by actually helping someone than just not killing. bandaging others and giving them food/water will increase your karma + humanity.

The moment VoIP gets back in track, hopefully we'll see an decrease in hostilities and little more random cooperation. Typing won't help much and its proven very well. In the meantime, cooperation must be found through the survivor HQ forum and just stay away from others if you are not a killer.

When you managed to get off the coast into the woods without getting shot. ....that feel everyday.

DAMNIT, I SHOULD'VE KILLED YOU! (Just kidding, I've never ventured to the airfield, I heard of bad happenings there + I'm chicken)

That was an enjoyable video! And yeah I've seen you guys around the ArmA community before. The best weapon I ever attained was a SAW gun. Most intense part for me actually getting it. My buddy died after he killed the SAW gunner trying to loot all of it after he got shot in the back by a bandit, luckily I was near and heard his makarov shots. I saw the bandit looting my buddy and pow pow! from my winchester and down he goes. I quickly take the backpack and SAW and see another survivor nearby and let loose on him. I usually don't kill survivors, but this one I knew was out to get me. After that I ran so so far away.
