Exactly. With that said, we are screwed cause this engine was never made to be played on an open network. The only way ARMA 2 community has survived is by closing their servers to keep the scriptors out. I want DayZ on ARMA engine, but for it to be viable, the original designers have to care. They don't. You know, and I know it. We lose.

The article says that the US army is requiring a new engine and many bidders (7) are vying for the seat. That is competition for BI, whether it is viable competition, I cannot argue (VBS2 is amazing for closed networks) but it is competition nonetheless. That means, BI will focus on that, as opposed to the commercial market. I feel bad, not only for us, the DayZ community but for the ARMA community, because they will surely be left in the dust, as well.

I love how zeds thought he had it right and when I proved him wrong, he is nowhere to be found. Feels good, man...

Albatross and Bright, your inane comments have been duly noted and stored away in the round file.

Honestly, Suspense. I like you, you know I do. But the standalone, will more than likely have the same problems. Also, you haven't answered my question about the million plus that paid to play DayZ (this version). What will come of us? Will this game ever progress? Or, will this game just be like this forever.. an Alpha test product with scriptors galore? I think the latter. No matter how you spin it, we got ripped off and many others will get ripped off again next go around. Including myself. I just want a solid product that I can play and enjoy. It sucks that this amazing innovative concept is rife with this BS and probably won't ever be fixed.

So I guess I was right and BI has to compete with 7 other bidders to create a new engine, by 2014. What say you?

Now, read this article... http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2012-08/01/us-army-shooter-game They have to create a new engine, or get their contract booted.

KoS. Even if I am unarmed, and someone tries to help me. I tell them that when I find a gun I will kill them. I make no qualms about it. It is what I do. The only reason they aren't killing me is because I have nothing or nothing they want. If I had a DMR on my back and a coyote, they would try to put me down, 9 times out of 10. So, why wouldn't I want to do the nicest thing possible and either, KoS or tell them their fate?

All I am saying is, secure this game, first. Is that so much to ask?

All that says, is that there are new training scenarios that will be implemented into the engine. What are you talking about? OM...

If he had any power, then why aren't steps being taken with ARMA 2 to take care of the million plus consumers who are playing it? If you say, "why would he, when he can make another version (secure) on the next engine and get our money twice" I ask you, what is to stop him/them from ripping us off again? Cause we were ripped off, no matter how you spin it. There are a million + people and counting that bought ARMA 2 for DayZ not, ARMA 2. I guess we aren't important. What is to stop them from doing this again? Why should I trust them a second time around. You understand that nothing will come from this version, right?

Nah, you haven't a clue and are just aimlessly defending them. I would like a serious discussion, not people nit picking nor insulting. Thank you.

The base designer would have to implement the tools, in order for Rocket or anyone else to make it secure, right? Those tools do not exist, because ARMA 3 is not made for that, right? Where does that leave Rocket, DayZ and us, the consumers?

No, you make no sense. ARMA 3 is an engine that is not secure for open play. Therefor, if DayZ is put on that engine, it will have the same problems as this version of the game. Why should I pay more money into it. I already bought ARMA 2 for DayZ (don't tell me to go play ARMA 2, blah blah blah). The whole thing is stupid, and with you defending them, it makes them think they are right. They aren't. I would like a serious discussion so they can see there are people out there that are pissed. Not only will the version I bought not be finished but the new version that will be peddled will be broken and full of scriptors, as well.

Is your input really needed? This game is on an engine that is never going to be secure. 1 million people and counting bought the test (we didn't buy arma 2 for that game, we bought it for DayZ) and many people will buy the standalone. The fact remains, that if Rocket uses the ARMA 3 engine (which is BS cause what about us, the people that bought this engine) the game will have the same issues as this version. If you have nothing constructive to add, go back to work. ;)

It depends on a couple factors. First of all, the HIVE might have been messing up and spawning shitty loot. (it happens -- bad coding) Second of all, and more than likely, you were in a shitty town and that is all there is there. Go to Cherno or Electro the bigger cities for better gear. Or, go up North to find the best gear. GL!

Well, honestly, they are just as guilty as the massive douches that thunderdome everyone. I have played since May 5th or so. I have worked at learning the terrain and figuring out where to go for gear. Gear is finite and very easy to get. Esp now, that the tents are all fucked up. There are tents with gear everywhere! There is no excuse to script in, even small items, for your survival. It ruins the game, period.

you mean like how i play with your mother?

This is how to troll. ROFL!

It takes a team with multiple people a while to repair it. Even if you are organized, which we were. Took us about 2 hours. To get her fixed fully and refueled.

When I dropped my aim on a person cause his voice reminded me of my dead dad. Then I took some fire from the side. Scariest moment in DayZ for me. Now, I just channel their salty cries into sweetness. It helps a lot with the grief and anguish I feel every night.
