Quote 1: Bwahahahahahaha! Quote 2: Bwahahahahahahahahaha! Quote 3. Bwahahahahahahahahahaahahahaha! And to not make this post just a laughing spam... They just have to get the zombie through door and wall stuff cleared, loot regulated and equipment damage to a realistic level ( f.e. a tac vest won't be destroyed from just beeing hit with bare fists, and you can't rip it either that way because you can drag a guy wearing that away by the loop on he rear ). Seems the difficulty is scaring pople off now and hopefully remind them that they are playing a zombie survival game and not CoD. When i just started playing the mod just one zombie scared the shit out of me just 10 minutes after i spawned the first time and because i didn't know what to do and where to run i was so frustrated that i almost quit never to play it again... :lol:

That's what he wants prevented. Hopping and farming "safe" empty servers should not pay off => the more players connect, the more risk, the more loot spawns.

According to news some russian dictator sent his special troops to eliminate protestors in a certain country...that was in the last century though.

You should be able to launch it from outside the game unless they changed it somehow because of steam. Don't have the game though, look for a dayz.exe or so should be easy to find.

Then players will hop raid server in groups of 10+ in order to get loot and solo players ( i didn't mention Lone Wolves in this case because it affects all smaller groups and solo players in particular ) go out empty! Not so nice idea..although more eyes find more it should be find what you see and not find more the more you are.

A workmate has an i5 ( dunno the type but it's also 2.6ish ) and a GTX? 640M he has around 30fps, playable but tough on you in towns. Doesn't really matter if you have 50gb or 1TB free hdd space, RAM should be at 4GB minimum, windows unfortunately requires a lot for itself already.

Imo that isn't a gaming gpu either... http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-NVS-5200M.76732.0.html < linky linky I assume since you say your original gpu seems to be outdated that your whole system is far from suboptimal for playing the game....save the money, wait until DayZ has progressed to a playable state and then get a decent desktop pc...

The origins build system was quite interesting but it took too much effort to create a home with all the groups KoSing 24/7. You can get something similiar with Epoch by now you just have be careful to choose a good server and not a 24/7, AS 50 starting gear, 50 million gold, trader safezone ( have only found one server without safezone so far ) server. Vanilla is still quite interesting although lacking because it's secondary to the SA. I'm just waiting for Epoch to use the same gear system from vanilla then i think i'll be happy with it.

I never said you mouth off and i don't know how your conversation with that server owner went before you called him 'git. An insult is an insult no matter how nice you wrap it up, how would you have reacted in his position? We had a case in my clan where a clanmate wasn't insulted but outplayed and annoyed by another player and he really wanted to kick/ban that player from the server because of his stubborn playstyle, so i quickly logged in and blocked access and talked some reason into him because i know he isn't like that. Then i assisted him in getting in game revenge on that player and it was aok. In the end it's what goes around, comes around. And with your experience you know why players want their own servers so they won't be depending on a douche admin or someone shutting the server down, it is much to be hoped that they don't become the same as the people who made them rent a server in the first place. And you really seem to have a streak of bad luck when choosing servers...

Why would i want another mouth to feed when i'm already living hand to mouth myself?

I'd rather want a server that refuses players connecting above a certain ping so the overall fps won't be drawn down by a player whose ping is too high resulting in desync and such. Of course they'd have to offer enough servers to serve the amount of players in an area of let's say up to 150ms as an example. I know you can already do that with BE but some admins don't seem to know how to or don't care or don't know high ping players affect server performance.

You are clearly playing on the wrong server(s) if that happens to you all the time. Haven't been kicked or banend by an admin yet but then again i don't yap around like a 5yo challenging them to some gangbang every 5 mins. It's also depending a lot on the players behaviour, you kill them be proud and stfu...you can them noobs and what else you deserve the kick/ban. You show them respect they show you respect, you show them respect they don't show you respect leave and look for another server, that simple. I don't mind having a good player or two on a server, it gives you a challenge to become better than him. We were around 20th place in the OFP league back then and weren't really that good when i joined the clan but new players, a lot of training and discipline brought us up to the top 5 with a ( let me lie ) 15+ win streak eventually ended by a draw with the 1st placed clan and even won in 2 other small leagues, others were pissed and didn't like us for that because they were jealous but didn't want to put some effort into in themselves. But you are right, always having the same players can get boring after a while, but you also have some casuals who show up every now and then. If you keep KoSing and pvp at a controlled level they will happily come back for another asswhooping either for you or for them but you can't deny that even if you had a ton of public servers you only play on a select few and you will get to know every one of them too eventually. The most dangerous thing that can happen on a private server is the admin not updating the server fast enough ( either update or features ) and a stalemate between factions. One side will become bored and quit.

Russian riot control = Berkut - they shoot live ammo.

You can rant all you want about private hives ruining the game...it is fact that they did and the same will happen in the SA once they allow it. But don't forget there are also a decent amount of private hive servers who don't buttfeed the players with starting gear and premium loot and want present a more authentic survival experience compared to the daily KoSing. Your opinion is kind of biased.

That's pretty normal. The server brings down the clients fps and when you are using a map you will notice a huge frame drop etc. RV Engine normality.

When BE finally has their list of 10000 hackers they will instaban them. Not enough of them caught yet so be patient.

I had enough encounters where one of my group was shot at and it didn't end well for the attacker because of the zeds. I was looting in a town with a buddy and suddenly got shot at by a player with a makarov - i had a winchester. So i decided to duck and turn my head to acquire the target while zeds were closing in. I pinned him down by shooting at his cover multiple times to scare the shit out of him until i circled around his cover exposing him and somehow he decided to bolt over the street and i shot his leg, i heard a crack and i ran away...soon after he was swarmed by zeds end met his end the second time in 5 mins and countless times in an hour like the PVPer he was...

A player KoSed it...or you reduced too many details.

With KoS all around i wonder how you will survive the moment a players sees you...zombie or not.

Solution...don't KoS!!!

^This ^ And that ...and also...a huge difference between ArmA as a whole and MMOs. The engine was never made with tons of players in mind although they claim it to be. It originated from VBS and was designed for small scale training applications for civilian and military organizations. Only proper scripting can reduce the workload for client and server, i wonder why the devs didn't do it yet. A buddy thought about it when he made a large mission because he knew the limitations.

You could either choose mike in game which transmits with ptt or voice activation or no mike and it disables input in windows...whoever uses a program has to choose yes and provide a hotkey this way.

The only application would be for "war purposes" and it's not like players love night time and you would need like a thousand backpacks to light up the night for seconds...there is a ton of more practical light sources.
