The average on the main pages doesn't count lifes under 2min. So if you respawn instantly it does not count. I haven't played much yet but both of my two life's were about 5-6 hours.

This seems good. There is a huge lumber industry in Chernarus so chainsaws would fit. Molotovs also make sense. Cherno will burn!

You know ArmA 2 is a military simulator. There is already great human AI. Play the vanilla game once and see for yourself. There is no need to for the HUMANS to have upgraded zombie AI. It is very very easy to spawn in patrols in the editor. It is also easy to have them patrol roads. This is all possible in the engine. If they have Czech backpacks they should carry the Czech assault rifle SA58. Imagine the Chernarus was devastated by the apocalypse but the Czech republic survived and they send kill squads into Chernarus to clean the area up

SA58 is not a FN FAL clone. It is a Czech republic assault rifle. It looks similar to an AK series rifle but it is different internally. The main similarity is the ammo. After that the similarities end. Link to thread. Wikipedia link is in the thread. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/34182-vz58-sa58pv-rifles-should-be-added/

The Czech republic DLC is coming out for ArmA soon. I heard dogs will become an active part of combat in the DLC and will be added into dayZ. Chernarus is obviously fictional but it would have to be semi close to the Czech republic

I should mention that this is an eastern bloc weapon. It seems people want moar of those!

I just made a thread on the Sa58 rifle. You guys should check it out. I go into detail there

I scoffed when I saw the title but you pleasently surprised me. Nothing too important but a side mission. A player would need a radio to be notified although if a player didn't have a radio that player could still participate if he/she discovered the scene manually. Also the mission should be extremely risky for the reward. Lots of Zeds and players converging on a location would be VERY risky.

Lol bad aim

It is possible that you killed the truck. A ural (the truck they had) isn't armored and it is possible that your shots and grenades hit the fuel tank or something. Once severely damaged any vehicle could ignite! Is there a self destruct feature for vehicles?

Well done!

That's lucky to find a truck unguarded. I know where your talking too. Im going to check there for stashes in the future. Also remember you can store supplies and other things in all cars. They are like mobile tents

In vanilla ArmA 2 there is the independent faction called NAPA. They are guerillas that use homemade camouflage. DayZ should use these skins over the current British Armed Forces (BAF) for the camo skin. I have heard that these skins can't use backpacks but surely that would be a simple fix. The BAF camo doesn't fit in with the low tech theme. The camo is low tech and very effective. Also the NAPA skins wouldn't require DLC to be high resolution. The BAF skins look crappy without the BAF DLC. Give me your opinions or reasons this would or wouldnt work. Here is a picture.

Maybe a player could customize his starting clothes. Instead of a identical people, players could choose their starting clothings. Like a hunter or fisherman. It wouldn't affect gameplay and it would be purely cosmetic. This could apply to camo too. When a player equips camouflage it will look customized. Some players could choose the camo that is in now while others could look like guerillas. Obviously this could apply to ghillie. The NAPA ghillie suit is pretty sweet!

Rocket has said that he doesn't want classes but for players to do what they would do IRL. Customizable clothes would be great

Iphonez r teh grateest omgz. Hahaha

With time my friend. With time

Sounds similar to my first life. I watch videos on YouTube and I play vanilla ArmA so I knew what to do. On my first life I lived about 5-6 hours! I grabbed an axe on the coast and headed inland. I reached a small town ( which I later learned to be called Pusta). I was lucky and found a Lee Enfield, a revolver, and a large backpack! I set off and was at large for a while searching for food and water. I Searched several small towns and found nothing notable really. I got all the way up to Novy Sobor with out dying. I saw my first player running out town followed by Zeds. I tried to find him but couldn't. He cleared most of the loot and Zeds. So it was easy to go through town. I found a few decent things but nothing exceptional. A zombies hit me but I didn't bleed. It was getting late so I logged out for the night. When I logged back in I was bleeding and I eventually died. Also I had just found a AKM!

I heard that 6 updater was experiencing problems. Go look at the news on the main page. Read that. I believe you will have to: A. Wait till 6-updater is fixed. B. revert to a older version if DayZ.

I have seem tracers ricochet off objects. They are in the game in some form. At least in vanilla ArmA

The picture didn't work because I'm on an iPhone

Remember it is an anti-material rifle. If a vehicle is ruining your day don't be afraid to blow it to pieces!

Good idea. A basic toolbox should be able to partially repair a weapon. But only military repair kits could restore a weapon to full. Or... Only civilian guns could be repaired with a toolbox and military weapon needed special attention

Nice find! I have never heard of those before
