Ah any game is better for more Scottish players! :thumbsup: :beans:

I bought full versions of Arma II and Combined Ops and mine seem to look just as good as those. Or maybe those are the quality if you buy the full versions. I'm happy with what I have. :thumbsup:

*hands you the award* :D :beans: :thumbsup: Speech! Speech! *claps loudly*

Damn that price is so good I want to buy it again! I had no idea there were so many parts available to Arma II. I wonder if people will recall in say ten years time just how great Arma II is and that it was the origins of the world's greatest game, DayZ :thumbsup:

Pockets7vens, really? That is amazingly bad luck. When you spawned did you run along the beach or up into the hills? Good luck with youtube, Davidian. Though you're late to the game. There are many thousands already out there! :thumbsup:

Which server did this happen on, exactly? Not sure how you can ask how buggy a game is when it hasn't been released yet.

Yep, HerrJon put it well. :thumbsup:

Join as many private hive servers as you like! You don't have to just stick with one. Go to the Private Hive Discussion Forum to see them, as that's where the "adverts" go. I'm helping out at balota buddies hive as a moderator temporarily, and as you'd expect I do recommend it but seriously, I recommend all the ones I've tried. Well almost. There was one that had a 16 year old crapbag for an admin, thanks to mummy and daddy's credit card, who killed me for a magazine of ammo but apart from that many of them are great. Check out the comments. :thumbsup:

Who are you calling asses? :o *wonders if Ninetyniner meant "assess"* :huh:

We're all in the same boat, we all want to play the standalone as soon as possible. Thanks to most of you for being patient and understanding. Like most of you, I've never come across Rocket but I read his posts and understand he and the team are working their backsides off. The truth is I'm happy to wait because I'd rather have a game that works than one that's been rushed out for an impossible deadline. I don't expect any game to be glitch free but honestly, I'd rather not fall through any more roofs. :thumbsup: :beans:

Just give it a poke and see what happens. :thumbsup:

Tetris. Try Tetris. Frankly, I can't see any way in dayz to avoid zombies for long. *sighs*

Kids. :rolleyes:

Yet another one that should be in Private Hive Discussion Forum? Or perhaps I'm wrong. I'll check.

Shouldn't this be in Private Hive Discussion Forum?

What authority does the poll have? Will it actually impact on the game or is this just someone posting a thread?

Go look in Private Hive Discussion Forum, that's where all the adverts for servers/hives are located. I'm temporarily helping out at Balota Buddies and recommend them. Go here to be whitelisted http://balotabuddies.net/ BUT there are many private hives, all worth joining. I play on probably a 100+. I recommend you visit the forum and join lots of them - better to have a choice than none at all! :thumbsup:

If you play on lots of servers you will find some are useless for tents because other players help themselves and on others they're fine. I often lay down a dummy tent to cause a distraction from my real tent. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I prefer to play lots of servers so as to keep things fresh not get used to kit and players. It all goes in the end.

The empty backpacks are not the supermarket's contents and haven't been dropped by players, usually. If you arrive, especially on an empty server, or a recently restarted one, there will be one of a lot of things in many spawn points until players enter the buildings. Such as tents or tin cans or backpacks. There is also a delay where you have to go a certain distance from the loot spots and then return a few minutes later to get the loot. Of course, other times you will never find a backpack no matter where you look. Frankly, if you find alice packs grab one and never let it go. :thumbsup: Also, I think Beastlyoverlord meant the opposite of what he wrote. Play on private servers if you want to avoid hackers. Look in the Private Hive Discussion forum for lists of all the private servers.

I thought the official hive was offline. I can't find any servers.

It is up to you, indeed. However, dayz commander is much more user friendly. I've used both and there's a big difference. Commander will make game updating and access quick and easy in my view.

No you don't. All you have to do is simply enjoy the game and not worry about who killed whom or who has killed most players. No one needs to "claim" a kill. Not part of the game.

Yes, I was admin-in-training on balota buddies UK servers. I'm still there temporarily,helping out and I'd still play there and recommend their servers. No hassle from hackers and none of those hideous scripter kiddies. But then I would say that as I represent them but, as Nicemod points out, there are lots of good servers (I'm sure his is another good one). So why not go look in the Private Hive Discussion Forum as that is where all the "adverts" are for all the private hive servers and you can have a look through to see if there are a few you like. You can join as many as you like. :thumbsup:

I haven't read this thread. I just saw your first point, LordHussyPants and decided to comment on that. The fact that you are asking what is the point now you can't see how many people you have killed, in myview, shows you should not be playing this game but something more PvPer like CoD. This is not a player v player game. It's - and for the love of god I'm sick of saying it - is a survival game set in a sandbox environment where you can play as you choose with the tools available to you. As it's an alpha those tools may change. (That means you can kill players if you like but that is not the purpose of the game. The purpose is different for everyone. If you can't imagine other reasons to play then perhaps you should think about that.) And that's true for everyone. We are not all killers wanting high kill scores, which is good as that information isn't part of the game. Many of us don't shoot other players ever. I died last night helping a little shitbag with food and water, killing the zeds who attacked him and then got a bullet in the head for my efforts but that's the risk I choose to take. So there's no point complaining that you don't know how many people you've killed. That information has never been available except in the developers' debug monitor, which is clearly temporary (unless they choose to add it to the standalone) because it's an alpha test mod. And to everyone who says this is boring or that is boring - you are wrong. If it makes someone happy then it's right for them. It doesn't have to be right for you. If you're happy with the way you play fair enough but stop whining because we won't play the way you want the rest of the world to. Real life isn't like that and neither is dayz.

I'm amazed at the languages you speak yet you say English is your mother tongue? Are you sure you're English? We're not meant to be very good at languages. For example, this is my finest .... Deux croissants et une cafe creme s'il vous plait, Monsieur. :huh:
