Eh, screw it. Let's just go isometric and turn based combat. Problem solved!

I have made friends in-game. Random people whom I now play other games with. Weird.

Have you checked the support over at battleeye.com? Or even on BIS's forum? Also, is it Steam or not? It might work manually downloading from BE and re-installing (and verifying caches as administrator in Steam and all that jazz). EDIT: Is it one server or many servers? Private hives or public? Nom nom nom more information taste so good. :)

This was back in April, literally some of the first people to play DayZ. Some of them have probably received testing keys as well. From dslyecxi's blog: Q: I am sure as of late, you have probably been asked this quite a bit, But will yourself or any other ShackTac members be partaking/providing video content with the closed DayZ testing? How do you and ShackTac feel about DayZ in its current state? A: Some of us will be participating, no idea if we’ll be doing videos of it. As to DayZ - I’m not interested in the current mod version right now, but we had good fun with it back in April of 2012. I hope standalone can rekindle that fun.

Because everyone agrees that the limited testing is awesome, and disagreeing is way more fun.

Depends on what developer and what publisher we are talking about. :)

How I hope we'll see a continuation of the Days Ahead series from ShackTac. They were among the first to play the mod when it was first released, so it seems fitting. :)

Had some guys over to remove all the doors in the building. Can't trust'em!

Like a kick in the nuts. In a good way.

Don't be silly. Then!

If only doing that for that reason I would consider it cheating. But some people might do it because of performance issues and then, well, what can you do? :) As I said before: if it is so important for people to "win" maybe this is not the game to play. I'm not playing it to win anyway.

Animals that aren't infected but are carrying the infection would be fun in the worst kind of way meaning the best kind of way.

I'm not being sarcastic here or anything, I genuinely wonder: how do you mean? Please elaborate! :)

There is a forum with a lot of helpful sticky threads about this. Can't seem to recall the URL though.

Some of them are answered in the post! Mostly previously answered stuff though... :)

Join a random server and stay in the lobby. Write #beclient GUID in the chat. Pretty sure most servers requiring white listing informs about this!

I don't mind being able to do it IF you find proper tools and IF finding cartridges and all that is required. And even then they should be very unsafe to use.

Now we just have to wait a while for some interesting updates in the "Just saw rocket" thread. Thanks!

http://www.wikihow.com/Hand-Load-Ammunition It is do-able. But not easy.

Like it or not, but that IS part of the game. So you want to be able to run into a town, grab a bunch of stuff and then safely just log out? Where is the fun in that?

I don't get the feeling that anyone is fighting though. :) Discussions like these are extremely healthy, especially for a game still in development and with developers so open to feedback from the community! I have made my stance on the whole thing pretty clear but I do realize why others disagree and can understand many of the points brought up. As I said before; discussuions are fun! (and good)

Pretty much this yes. If I would like convenience and quick access to the action I would play another game more designed for that. Not having waypoints or any other means helps with the illusion of being lost in a new dangerous world.

Yeah, sorry, meant "leave the computer". I thought about 2 seconds about editing that but then I thought about 200 other things I'd rather do. :) EDIT: My point is that if you are in a position where you can't safely leave the computer for a few minutes you should not be able to abort either. OT now; there is a baby hawk right outside my window. It is adorable.

Same here. Vanilla settings. And normal* difficulty as well, as in no crosshairs, no 3rd person, no waypoints and no side chat. * everything else is crybaby easy mode ;)

If my child fell down I wouldn't bother logging out, I would just leave the game.
