This is why you're supposed to use DayZ Commander.

The DayZ patches are community-made. Rocket only approves them. At least, that's what I've gathered.

Darn. So close. You don't clip into the wall, but look above it.

There's also an evil Santa in one of the tall chimneys in Chernogorsk. East side. And no, I am not kidding. If you climb up the ladders and face the chimney while looking down, your camera will clip through the wall and there's a black texture with Santa's face on it. And he looks like he was possessed by Satan.

DICK.

DayZ Commander tends to mess up some people's connections because of the amount of servers it pings at once. (My connection included.) Go to the settings and limit the amount of servers to connect to, to about 3. He will still find the same amount of total servers, but just slightly slower.

Most people do. It used to be way better.

I demand this. Now.

For the Standalone, sure! For the mod? Not really all that possible/easy.

Proof or you're making this up. Come on. Naw. Regardless. There is a thing called "server FPS," and your FPS is in fact also affected by the server you're on. No matter your computer specs or the game you're playing. If you did some quick research you'd pretty easily gather what server FPS does and how it can cause problems.

DayZ Origins doesn't work if you download it through DayZ Commander for some reason. I had to manually download it from their website in order to be able to play. - http://www.dayzorigins.com/

As someone who has played Unreal Tournament 3 and watched a ton of different people play DayZ, this isn't going to make you survive unless the killer really doesn't care whether you died or not. People will shoot a couple(1-10) extra rounds into corpses to make sure they're dead. But. It'd be fun anyway. You could fake to be a corpse someone else has killed and BAM. Shotgun in the face.

They didn't lose their keys because of the mission they downloaded -- because there either was no actual mod, or the key-stealer was installed alongside with it. But yes, that is a minor valid point. Then again, who says nobody is going to make a "DayZ Standalone [CRACKED]" torrent with a keystealer/malware in it?

Obviously they would continue their current existence within the DayZ mod on ARMA 2. But it will probably take a long while for them to get ported, if ever. I'm not saying that customization is bad -- quite the opposite. The more freedom within a game, the better. But I think giving people the ability to change where the loot spawns would quickly bring the Standalone to the same halt that the mod is having, with people spawning in with full-on assault-gear, night-vision goggles, etc. (Even if you couldn't change the starting gear in the Standalone.)

Having a map-editor in the Standalone would make it pretty much the same as what ARMA 2 is. Just with less scripts. I want to play the original DayZ mod on A2:OA right now. Problem is, the hackers are plaguing the official hive, and the private hives are either very empty, have very high ping, or just aren't fun since you can't switch to another server for any reason you may have. (Server-hopping/avoiding zombies is not a reason.) Official maps would be a way better option than an actual editor, I feel. Mainly because it would lessen the variation between servers and that way it would also make a lot more sense.

Didn't Rocket say something about new maps possibly being made specificly for the DayZ Standalone? Not recently, but around the 1.7.2 patches or earlier?

The people who can't deal with the whole "You die, you lose all your gear" thing will either start hosting, or start looking for servers that have a lot of high-end loot near the spawn locations. Not only that, but people might make entire "pvp arena" servers, where the spawns are walled off to some kind of an area with military loot spawning everywhere, with the sole intention of the players killing each other instead of zombies. The community doesn't always know the best. It's already been proven. Edit; And to add to that, the people who want to ensure that they actually get players for the server they probably rented off from somebody else will probably once again join in with whatever kind of servers have the most players. PvP servers always full? Make a PvP server with tons of weapons. PvE/RP servers where bandits get banned? Start doing that with your own private server. (I am assuming that server hosts will be able to ban people. Then again the whole "MMO" style would highly suggest otherwise.)

Take a look at the current DayZ mod. 1-5% of the servers is hosting the original mod. completely unchanged. Even if making the map that you want means that it won't be connected to the official hive. it's not going to stop people from making their own maps or using those on their servers that are the most played. It will mean that DayZ will once again become a hive of separate communities, all prisoners to their own little servers.

No.

..From the settings, one would assume? You could also edit the .cfg file in My Documents.

The white, it BURNS.

As long as there's more than one variation of it, people will collect it. If the Standalone didn't have hats of any kind, but 200+ jackets, people would collect those and kill just to get one that they don't yet own. So.. The hat point feels pretty invalid, to me. As for the 'warm clothing' stuff, Rocket did say that running around naked is going to cause problems. Especially with the addition of various diseases, temperature and clothing are going to play a significant part in the Standalone.

A hacker failed at making a script that dropped a crapton of boats into the map -- by not giving them enough space. There's your explanation.

Most of the mods(the active ones at least) are admins on those servers. Everybody who browses these forums regularly know that Balota Buddies is pretty much the best, most secure and reliable little private-hive with a couple servers. The mods don't have to be "unbiased," by the way. They are people with their own personal opinions.
