There is a certain level of maturity that should be kept whilst naming anything.

Please learn to read the full post before asking questions. I answer a lot of problems in several places (Including the Steam discussion pages for ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead and ARMA 2: DayZ Mod.) and it gets very dull, very quick when someone asks something that was answered already.

I would understand getting videos, tweets, interview links and whatnot -- all in one thread, but why the devblogs? They have their own, easy-to-find page as it is. It's way harder to find a single thread on a forum than a separate site.

Take On Helicopters will implement pretty complex weather, as far as I know. (Engine-wise, anyway.)

I want to see you hit anything past 1000 meters with your first 2 shots without an SVD. That thing is essential for actual sniping in ARMA 2. Without a proper Rangefinder, of course.

Let me guess. You've never played ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead before? I used to have that problem a lot. It happens when the resolution of your game is one that your monitor does not support. Be it a wrong aspect ratio, a resolution too small, or too big. So changing your resolution to the same one as your screen resolution will fix it. Optionally you might want to run the game in a window so you can change the resolution in-game.

Disagreement creates conversation, which brings in even more opinions and points of view. If only the people who agreed with you would come here and pat you on the back for the perfect suggestion, there would be no community. Accept that not all agree with you, or go do something else. Wrong. Rocket has SPECIFICLY said that he wants the zombies to be like in the movie "28 days later." You cannot know that and at the same time suggest zombies with different attributes. Because those kind of zombies didn't exist in the movie. This applies to both, the mod, and the Standalone. It's why the zombies die from bodyshots, as opposed to just a headshot.

Your name and avatar are hilarious. Just wanted to say that.

It's not about realism. It's about authentic context. The zombies are not undead, nor do they have some kind of super-infection that mutates the human body. Watch the movie "28 days later." That's the kind of zombies we're dealing with in DayZ. The infection is kind of a mad cow disease(This is not official knowledge, just my way to explain it.), except much more aggressive, and affects only humans. It causes extreme aggression and invokes the most feral instincts in humans, making them want to hunt for food whenever possible, but not by killing each other.

I like every other suggestion besides the zipline thing. Seems a bit too game-y for DayZ. I don't think he meant that you are supposed to hold the door shut WHILE bandaging. He said that you can hold the door closed so your friend can bandage. Or vice versa.

The second image would be a cool idea, if Rocket wasn't trying to eliminate the HUD entirely. I do approve of the top one, though.

For Closed Alpha. And they have already been selected. Come on guys. Get it right.

As far as the inventory question goes; Does it have to be overly complex? It would feel like a gimmick to use a scroll wheel to open a menu, go into gear, and click on the stuff to move it into your inventory, or go into gear, open your backpack, and then do the same -- if it wasn't like that years before DayZ even existed. Having to aim at an item and press E to pick up doesn't kill the game. It's a minor convenience, which isn't even required from you to perform. (You should note that the whole drag-and-drop wasn't the only way to do things.) Edit; As for physics? Yeah, general physics are no doubt fixed so that a gently opening door won't slap your ass so hard that you break both of your legs. Vehicles won't be in the foundation release for the Standalone at first. (You knew that, right?) I'm sure they will get tweaked as well. I don't think the E3 was "ass licking." They were showing the current progress on the Alpha that we hadn't yet seen in the devBlogs. Probably not all of the changes, but at least the major ones.

The final answer is "unlimited." But not before the Closed Alpha has ended. Which has the top limit of 1000 people, all of whom are invited already. ^ Read: You can't get into Closed Alpha.

You guys are all wrong. Even you, Incep. :c Edit; There were 1000 invites given out at the end of last year. (If I remember correctly.) These included forum staff, Reddit moderators, BI employees and random people from the forum that the ones already picked recommended. There won't be any more invites being given out, and NOT ALL of the 1000 people have access to the Closed Alpha yet. Currently there is approximately 50-150 people involved in the Closed Alpha. Once the Alpha is in a stable enough state, it will be released on Steam as an Open Alpha at a low price-point. Estimates are around $7,99 - $14,99.

That link is unnecessary. What the guy said was entirely correct. Matt said that the demonstration was running locally, in "singleplayer" (Meaning, having no other players), because it was too difficult to get a stable connection during E3. (There is no room for cables in there. And the wireless network is hell with hundreds of connections up all the time.)

You insult us veterans with your post. Pack your stuff and do a rollback to 1.7.6.1. Edit; You have successfully crafted to potato.

You get FPS drops from 50+ to 10-20 on an i7 because of Hyperthreading and other things. So yes, even with a high-end PC it's common to get FPS drops while playing ARMA 2 / DayZ. ARMA 2 is an old, old game and has never been optimized properly. And definitely does not support the newer hardware.

A modified/extended version of Chernarus. Edit; Welp. That was a massive ninja if I've ever seen one.

Who the hell magically appears at a shore of a random location? The only "backstory" for DayZ is that you're washed up on the shore, and that's it. You don't GET to have the luxury of having something to defend yourself with. If you can't find a weapon in time, then tough luck. Try again. (That said, you might want to read the links in my signature.)

There's nothing the DayZ -- or any other -- mod can do about it. The netcode of ARMA 2 prevents anybody from making the body persistent.

AS50 and M107 were simply removed from the spawn tables. And even if a hacker DOES spawn the weapon in-game, it will deal no damage, since the mod changed the damage to 0. That said, just because the weapon itself is "banned," it does not mean that he will be banned as well for using it. (A server admin might ban him from the server for having an illegitimate weapon, but he can't get Global Banned.)

I hope you also don't like servers with third-person mode enabled. (Because that would be hypocrisy.) You can peek around corners and over walls because of the displaced camera, so that gives other players an unfair advantage. You don't have to do it, but it's better if you do, since others are doing it as well.

Who what? Someone confirm? (I always assumed it was related to your current health/blood level.) Edit; No matter what game you're playing, you will always have it more difficult if your ping is too high and/or FPS is too low.

http://puu.sh/3dQyJ.png Might want to change that to something a lot lower. (Like I have set it to 3.)
