    Boonie hats are in!

    @Stryker7x ... I get you. I like these ... very much. 8-} Nice find OP.
  2. Ummm ... errrr ... Zombie Survival ... aren't they supposed to be a threat or did I miss something. I have no problem with gearing up and KOS and Banditry and gun-fights at Elektro Coral ... but I am very happy that the Zombies are a threat ... as it should be. Tonight ... I play. 8-}

    Post your clever joke names for DayZ!

    RunZ ... either due to the walking/running or the rotten fruit ... both work. 8-}

    so whats SSAO?

    It stands for Screen Space Ambient Occlusion. Wiki: Wiki Page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_space_ambient_occlusion Screen Images: https://www.google.co.za/search?q=SSAO&espv=210&es_sm=122&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=tCoMU9n0F8eN7QaF2YCIDg&ved=0CJ0BEIke&biw=1489&bih=849 Most modern game engines support SSAO or implement SSAO in some form or another. HTH

    Foldable backpacks?

    Good idea. As long as it was only certain backpacks and it could be balanced correctly. 8-}

    Zombies, and zombie disguise.

    Without trolling you bud ... use the search ... this topic has been discussed like a gazillion times ... well except for the Zombie disguise one. Been watching Walking Dead again? 8-}

    Where am I right now?

    1. How close is the Church to the Firestation? 2. Is the Firestation next to a large open field? 3. Is the Church near the Pier? If you answer Close to 1 and Yes to 2 ... you are probably in Elektro. If you answer yes to 3 ... you are probably in Cherno.

    My first impressions!

    I guess there is not much to say ... these are the unfortunate things that happen because it is an alpha and you are not alone. I bought the game to support the Devs but I actually haven't installed it yet ... primarily to avoid frustration. There are tons of things that could have gone wrong here ... and unfortunately these things will happen until the Devs can get around to resolving these issues.

    Tips for better situational awareness?

    @mzltv said it the best. 8-} Good luck!!!

    taking an item off my hand and then.....

    I see what you did there. 8-} Rather interesting bug ... can you replicate it?

    Doors opening direction

    But doors don't typically open in both directions in the real world? So if you want realism, no ... but personally if the door opens both ways is really not a problem for me.

    Dayz Steam Trading Cards

    There is normally a notification in the Steam overlay ... but so does notifications of when your friends come online. I personally don't get the Trading Cards concept ... but I won't say no to this. 8-}
  14. Signed. Agree that this would be one step too far.

    The Way of the Bandit

    I guess if the individual doesn't want to be held up ... they can just log when they are in Handcuffs ... that will kill them. I for one will choose to avoid you ... but if I do get caught ... will play out the situation ... 8-}

    Any servers that still have gender select?

    From what I understand ... the first time you connect on the server it doesn't give you a choice ... but once you die and respawn ... you are given the option. Well this has been how I have perceived it. HTH.

    This game is shit

    Wow you have had access to the Standalone for a long time. There are numerous reasons for this, unoptomised network code, network congestion, network contention ... hell just a very early buggy game that needs a lot of work ... you however did agree to buy the game knowing full well it is in Alpha. Quoted from Wikipedia: Having said that ... this is a broad description of Alpha and I am sorry that you are unhappy ... but once again ... nobody held a gun to your head and forced you to buy the game in the current state. I would reccomend you stop playing the game for a while and give it a couple of releases and then try again.

    making dayz work on my pc

    Get a better Graphics card ... 512MB for your Graphics Card is a little weak for a game like this. DayZ Minimum System RequirementsOS: Windows Vista SP2 or Windows 7 SP1CPU: Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz or Athlon X2 2.5 GHzRAM: 2GB System MemoryGPU RAM: 512MB Graphics MemoryGPU: Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT 512MB or AMD Radeon HD 3830DX: DirectX 9.0cHDD: 10 GB Free Hard Drive Space DayZ Recommended System RequirementsOS: Windows 7 SP1CPU: 2.8 GHz Quad Core Intel Core i5-2300 or 3GHz AMD Phenom II X4 940RAM: 4 GB System MemoryGPU RAM: 1 GB Graphics MemoryGPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 or AMD Radeon HD 7750HDD: 14 GB Free Hard Drive Space Minimum means pretty much that ... run it at low resolution and low detail ... etc.
  19. Google is your friend ... so is searching on this website ... but anyway. Never done it myself ... good luck.

    Why would you discourage KoS?

    I don't think you are missing anything ... you can't really comment on KOS until the game is released ... hence I don't even bother. The same applies for character wipes and glitches ... when the game is released and these things are still happening ... then we should be able to discuss it and ask the devs to sort it out. Right now discussing this stuff is a moot point.

    M4: auto and semi theory

    Actually the latency has nothing to do with the amount of times you click the button but the physical projectiles that get generated by the weapon. This is where your latency is. For example: -> 3rd Burst mode ... one click - 3 bullets -> Single fire ... three clicks - 3 bullets The same amount of physical projectile objects in the game are created and these need to be ghosted to all clients via the server. This is assuming the engine works like most game engines ... so don't quote me on that.

    If someone kills me ?

    Play with friends ... avoid people you don't know ... stay off the coast ... and generally stay in cover and out of open areas. Bottom line is ... you are going to die and die often ... don't get attached to your gear (especially because it is still Alpha). Play with groups of people you trust ... or stick it alone ... that is DayZ.

    Saurland server not working?

    Server IP ... Mod required ... What version are you running? Have you updated all your files? Have you contacted the server owner? We need some more information before we can help you or at least try to help you.

    Counter the brightness at night time

    What happens if you change your GFX Card or get a new Monitor? The easiest way to counter this is as follows: When a player connects notify all other players that they have a changed Gamma Setting. (i.e. Player Bob connected with a Gamma of 1.75).Allow admins to set a max gamma setting for their server (almost like max ping) and inform the player they need to change their gamma back down to the level before they can start playing. Not sure if this would be viable ... but anyway.

    Broken legs, a temporary 'fix'.

    But maybe they want to test the repairing broken legs game-mechanics and crawling game-mechanics. *shrug* I guess the Devs can't always please everyone and it can be a thankless job. I do tend to agree that glitching walls and stuff like that should be fixed first before they implement the mechanics around repairing legs and stuff. But I guess we just have to suffer the Alpha status and forge ahead regardless.
