I think he's trying. Oh you mean a real job......nah they are for the unimaginative. :)

OK i'll play. Why do I have something against third party micro transactions that are open to financial and all sorts of other online frauds? (This conversation could take ages like this.) Every purchase you ever make has the potential to be fraudulent, whether online or not.

Its a really great place for a fire fight. Lots of cover, in a bowl in the woods with a load of good loot. Excellent place for an ambush... see you there. :P

There is nothing to see there.... honestly. Nothing. (its only the best fing place on the map!)

I'm rather wanting you to be deleted... no one likes a wannabe mod. Why do you have such a bee in your bonnet about it? You couldn't pay me enough money be to a mod. I agree the best communities are self moderated, but we really don't need people getting their knickers in a twist over this. If you want to report it, report it. Anyone stupid enough to buy gear is well.. stupid. Unless i'm mistaken this game is for adults.. and as adults we can make our own minds up and mistakes. If you don't like content of a thread the best way to 'moderate' it is not to post in it and it will disappear. Self moderation IMO is not banging on about how the rules are being broken and complaining about it not being deleted or locked. If it was offensive / abusive I'd understand.. this however is not.

Shouldn't the question be: Is the player too big? Never noticed it before, but i think you are right.

WOW some of you really feel the need to be wanna be mods. He hasn't offended anyone or caused any harm.. what's all the moaning about rules for? Let the Mods do their job and decide if he has broken any rules or not. You lot must be a fun bunch to hang around with... "oh look johnny's j-walking call the cops!"

They have all been confirmed and are being created. (Apart from the craft-able torches). EDIT: it's good that you wrote it in large orange text otherwise Dean surly would not have been able to read it.. his eye sight is pretty bad these day.

I play with a few personal rules: #1 Always play on the highest population server possible. Otherwise there is really no risk/danger in the game. It seems so pointless playing on empty servers. No risk & no reward. Simply finding a high loot locations that has not been visited gives you a buzz on a high pop server.

Priceless :P

I enjoyed reading this thread, thank you OP, its like watching a car crash. How you haven't been banned for your verbal abuse is beyond me. The fact that you accuse others or being rude etc etc is the icing on the cake.. all very amusing. :)

No.. CPU is very important for the Arma engine. And unfortunately yours is decidedly pedestrian. Personally i think your laptop is not worth spending any money on in order to get good performance in Dayz. Much better to put the money towards something that can actually give the performance you want over the next few years. Best bang for you buck is a home built desktop.

Had two classics last night on the experimental build. Fell through a wall of a 3rd story building, fully geared up and having just found a green raincoat! :( I then had a really good run as a new spawn, got quickly re-geared with some sweet loot..the hardcore UK server started lagging bad and was restarted. Upon rejoining I lost ALL my gear but did not die but was in the same place I was when the server lagged out... surrounded by zombies in the new town outside Cherno... I laughed, it was funny! Got struck by a zombie and ran around desperately trying to find a rag! Just survived!

I think you are right, apart from the weapons part. No primary weapons, storage boxes that are 4x4 only. Having loot degrade over time would work for me. The gear could stay 'fresh' when the player is not on the server.. when the player is on the server and has been killed since he made the stash their loot deteriorates at a fast rate. This would allow people to raid others' loot but restrict the hoarding of gear and reduce the effect upon the perma-death roll that is so important to the game. It will be interesting to see what the Dev team decide upon. I'd be gutted if the old tents from the mod were copied. The bottom line for me is if 'permanent storage' kills the perma-death of the standalone I'd don't want any permanent storage system. I hope they can work together.

Some interesting discussions here. My conclusion: Storage containers should be small, too small to store weapons.All other gear should become ruined upon players death. The containers / bases remain, but the loot contents are ruined upon death. I want storage to be useful but want death to mean you have to start afresh. I want the game to be tough & death to be brutal; this is what makes it rewarding.

Ok i won't mention it..

Play on hardcore. I'm not even sure it is possible without 3rd person view. I certainly can't do it when i tested it, it's a lot harder. On 'normal' servers you just have to assume everyone does it... but that is okay, we all know everyone on 'normal' servers are just a bunch of cheating, glitching, camping, limp wristed werdios! (joke)

If in real life you get killed, are you still able to dig up your ammo 3 weeks later? Nothing like ignoring the 'elephant in the room'. :P

*sigh Experimental build of an alpha product, say it all. Debugging / testing...etc Don't expect any of these notifications to be in the final build.

A lot of loot is floating 3 foot off the ground. (i.e not on the floor) Not all just some.

Weather effects are in. Damp clothes, You are getting wet, My clothes are soaked, Soaked notification.. The weather is FLYING along... clouds are seriously moving! There is a lot of floating loot... think this might be an attempt to get all the missing loot out of the floor.

If you are referring to me as the OP: I'm not asking for them to be added and then wanting to stop people using the them.. they are being added, that has been confirmed, but they need to stay within the principles of the ethos & realism of the game. Having them limitless would be a mistake IMO. And no i have never played a RPG or MMO.

Weather affects.. cold, illness, damp clothing.... that is what i'm expecting.

Pretty please can we see a change log in new thread.. :beans: :beans: :beans:

LOL I bet you were a joy to be around as a child as you have grown up to be such a nice person.
