Swineflew

Valid concern imo.

I'd use it if I needed to trade, but would likely raid it seeing as how I think this is badly setup. I'd like the challenge of raiding a "secure" area. On that note, I'd also like the challenge of organizing and defending a trade outpost.

I support this idea. I think there needs to be a viable way to identify characters also. Anonymity is bad thing in the evolution of the game imo.

This is an awesome example of good metagaming. Create a subforum for trading and eventually people will become white listed and trusted to be trade mediators. This is a great thing for the game and community.

This thread is proof that we need an official source of ingame items. And no, a wiki shouldn't be that source.

I've been busy, so I haven't gotten to play the last couple days, but I've played with a couple of the guys and had a lot of fun. Really looking forward to playing a lot more with these guys.

I haven't been in the thread for awhile, can I get an update? I'm assuming you haven't died yet, so what's the kill tally?

This thread sucks. Stop bumping it.

Since this is such a huge problem you won't have any issues creating a video of you getting killed by an obvious hacker in less than.... let's say 40 minutes? PM the youtube link thanks.

The sky, it's falling.

Was this installed through steam, and if so have you tried to "verify the integrity of game cache"?

I bought Arma and OA just for DayZ, and I've only played DayZ. I'm totally addicted to this game like a nerd. Just let it be known that this can be a very harsh game, which appeals to me. It's the same reason I played Eve Online and loved it. I've played a couple months alone, and recently I've been grouping up because playing alone for me got boring. Personally I got enough enjoyment out of the mod alone to Justify spending $30. I'd suggest watching a lot of videos of the game so you truly understand what it's about before buying it.

I mean, we've had to deal with artifacting for what? Like a week, is that really a good reason to quit? Maybe I don't hang out in cherno enough, but I really don't run into these hackers 24/7 like all these other people seem to.

I have sort of an interesting situation, I'm trying to help my brother install DayZ, but I'm not physically there so there's a bit of a barrier when I'm trying to help him. He has the correct files in the @DayZ folder and has the extension -mod=@dayz and -nosplash in the startup params. He says that when he tries to launch the game he sees a cmd prompt for a brief moment and then nothing happens from that point. He's able to launch the standalone games, but not when he launches Combined Ops. I'll get more info later today when he gets home from work and I know I'm not giving much information to go on, but I was hoping to see if anyone had any ideas in the mean time. We haven't tried sixlauncher or dayzcommander yet, but that is an option. Thanks in advance for your help!

He did a file verification and I guess there was a file missing. He's going to reinstall and we'll try this all over again.

Thanks, I guess I was searching for things too DayZ specific when I typed in game crash on startup, I'll have him try that when he gets home. He can't even find that file in the arma2 OA folder, I can't either tbh.

Oh, so instead of looking for a stable server you want something that nobody plays so you can just loot till your pretty little arms get tired and then log into populated servers? I have no sympathy for your cause. It's not hard.

If admins don't like the rules, then don't host servers? Stop acting like it's hard to find a semi-decent server to play on. All this "sky is falling" stuff is getting really really old.

You mean other than admitting you use hacked weapons on the official forums, you mean proof other than that? Also if 1 person hacks in weapons, but the whole clan uses them, does that mean only 1 person should be banned even though the whole clan uses hacked weapons/gear?

Find a server you like and stick to it?

So what happens if you rejoin the server where you spawned on the beach, also what happens if you play that spawned character, does it override your other character. I don't know, it sounds a lot like a private server, I've never heard of debug zone acting like this, but also I don't read much about it since I've never ran into it.

If bikes were more common shit like this wouldn't be amazing.

I have nothing to contribute.... but I find your suggestions a little..... interesting.
