Quoted. Magic!

rocket, I'm the last person to be bum lick crawly, but you have failed nothing. Adventurous, yes, but not failed.

That may be a babe magnet in RL, but in DayZ it's a sniper training facility.

Well they said they would support it for time to come (SA) it will develop and evolve as time goes by so there will be lots to look forward to, lots of nuggets with regards to the build. Then the Mod will be there also with it's diverging path. I only hope My computer is sorted by the release date, I would hate to miss out on the many hours of fun I could be having (So at my rate, it should come out in June!!) Aren't there Nazis on the moon in COD? When it comes I do hope they have alimited edition with a laser etched Zombie glass weight, I think there is something to say about physical products.

Sounds good, but I'm a bugger with my mouse buttons as it is, I'd probably drop all my important stuff and not realise it until i need to use it.

I can't see the point of tutorial videos. When you spawn in on the coast you want to explore and investigate everything you come across. Having a tute' would spoil the adventure and spirit of the game. I won't be watching any videos of DayZ SA like i did with MOD, there was so much spoiled by it. I ended up not watching videos of the newer maps and enjoyed the game much more so.

Try looking for maps in the game server list's also, youll find more in there. There's more in game than on DayZ Commander. Private hives have more choice than the Public Hive, so you get more to choose from

Someone care to explain the logic for this? Someone must know why they want to do it!

I have it on good authority we will hear something this weekend, You can Quote me on that!

I'm crying, My Gaming P.C. died before christmas, I can't play any DayZ! Whaaaaaaaa Maaaaammmmmyyyyyy Whaaaaaaa

I'm still waiting for the Footage of tht chopper killed with a Makarov. It's nice though to see a player come out and admit they did it, after all this time I would not have remembered.

So, SA anyone looking forward to it? I know I am. But I can wait.

I recall someone suggesting they modify the TOH map of Seattle, that would be a nice map. nice and big!

Well, I for one will forgive and forget the lack of communication, I wil look forward to a well designed game and spend many hours playing it. On topic, when it does come out do you think we will be able to hire out servers again like the mod? or will this be ALL hive servers? I think I read it wil be Hive again, due to statistics and (I believe) a common log in portal. I was always reluctant to rent a server for the Mod, but for the SA I may be tempted.

The point still stands, he stated what may happen if things did not go to plan, Things did not go to plan! Dead simple!

Sorry but being a ex soldier you learn to use your sense quite well, It allows you to have a better perception of your surroundings, I think 3DV offers this as a compensation to some degree, I do believe there should be limits however like limiting view when in certain positions so as to not offer advantage. There are ways to play FPV like server side settings, Why limit the appeal of a game by limiting it? Do you think players play DayZ because of it's FPV? I think my main reasons however are the ability to look around you and enjoy the enviroment, which is spectacular on some map's, the FOV in first person needs fixing as standard in order for it to feel like first person view, and the fact I think FPS games are shoite, but hey that is my opinion. I don't think the SA will come with FPV only considering the engine will allow 3DV none the less, nor have I seen a Bohemia game (Military sim type) come without it. Even TOH has 3rd person view as an option. I think it is safe to say it will be in the SA wether some like it or not, you'll probably have the choice to go play 1st person view servers if you don't like it.

I can see mod crossovers happening when the SA comes out, what better way of improving a game when 2 of the best combine ideas? This will happen to some degree of less, New Ideas are a great way of prolonging an already established idea

So what would be the benefits of this? Just aesthetic? a new vision? I can't get my head around why you would want to have this feature other than vanity and Snow blindness remedy being the only benefit? No offence i just don't get this feature in an apocalypse.

For sniping, I have never heard nor seen a sniper use tin's or bell's for defensive reasons. One of the greatest rules for Snipers is shoot and then scoot, never stay in a position for too long. having the defensive bells behind you would be a foolish method as you'd have to set it up in the first place before you settle down for death dealing. you'd risk being spotted by everyone (Because the first place you'd check would be sniper positions) I can see the benefit of the idea but in a more less specific way. Lots of farms use methods like this for reasons like scaring birds and such, perhaps a few farms / backyards could offer this as a environmental sound putting the player on their toes while moving through areas. More of a distraction, giving the player some spooky sounds to contend with. Imagine your moving through a town and you're already scared because of the Zed presence, the closer you move into the town you hear rattling tins and such, could offer aid with sound or could aggravate the Zeds?! Now imagine this on a pitch black night, you'd be on edge and this is only one small town. (Sidenote: - Would be similar to door bells and chimes when opening doors, you'd not know which doors are affected) Trips with explosives would be great mixed in with the Tin's / Bell's, you wouldn't know what you were getting into if you set one of those buggers off. Randomly set up near well known locations to attract Zeds or Bandit traps.

Buy it, But ask your self, "Do i need a social life this year?" Lingor Chernarus Namalsk Taviana Just a few reasons why, Youwill not be playing these maps in the SA for some time I should imagine. A lot of time will be spent fixing and repairing the SA upon release as opposed to additional content. If you can experience the Mod and play it till you get the SA, you will be in great company. When the SA comes out people will play it to death, but the DayZ community will be moving with the Mod making improvements and additions not in the SA. Rocket may not like to include others work into the mod but others may give permission and we'll have one of the greatest sandboxes available The new SA engine will no doubt offer benefits the mod cannot do so buy both, the world of DayZ will explode this year, awards and notice it deserves. Plus, you can say you have played both and offer a better opinion than the SA users alone (You know what it is like when everyone jumps on the bandwagon) These forums are going to get a lot more mental.

It will come when it's ready and we can all look back on this thread and laugh at how silly we all are. Orlok, You go m8, Damn anyone who thinks otherwise. And I would like to wish everyone (Even Apache) a happy and nice new year.! :thumbsup:

Tis a great idea for those who don't own Dayz, or on the other hand maybe not. You could end up spoiling the experience and familiarising yourself with Chernarus before release (Note the cherno map will be different in the SA) You never know you may like is so much you buy it, and taste the other good things Ama 2 has to offer.

I have had the mod from june, I have also brought it to the attention of a lot of players, who play often. I don't have a web page, if i did it would be there no worries. whats your point? I don't think Bohemia have anything to worry about with regards to DayZ Standalone do you? If I was in a position to miss a given date I would expect the fans to be less childish about it and be patient. but that's me. Check my profile, my age is there. I don't care about the rest of the worlds holidays, I was mentioning it in relation to rockets holiday and the need to let them (inc Bohemia) enjoy it. As stated the new year seems as good as any to start giving us updates and news to the masses. There was news, just in case you missed it. Rocket: DayZ has not been delayed, but it may be pushed back if development doesn't proceed to Hall's satisfaction. "We haven't announced a delay yet," he said. "We're just saying, if it comes down to it, we will slip the date no matter what effect it would have on sales - rather than ship something we believe is not ready as a first step. We're also trying to be honest about the uncertainty over the impact of these major architectural changes. Initially, this was just going to be 'mod on steroid'. This is now really a refurbishment of the engine specifically to suit DayZ." source: http://www.joystiq.com/2012/11/30/dayz-creator-on-games-delay-console-ports-and-why-hes-holdi/ Old news but hey, you hold out for something more official. BTW, my presents are ace, got some good ones this year and they deserve playing with.

Good for you if you only get a few days off in the year, so what? some people actually have 2 weeks of at Christmas, not a few days here there and everywhere (I can appreciate those who don't). I don't know what breaks Bohemia staff have off (Or steam for that matter, It says SA in the quote!) but I'll wager bohemia allow longer than you get, it takes a fair while to fly back to NZ. I do think your being arrogant in not understanding they need a holiday (irregardless of your holiday allowance) and you expect notification from them on the SA. So what, they havent given an official statement on the SA, it's not the end of the world, I expect little news at this time of the year as would most. let them enjoy their holidays and further more only give us news when there is news. If rocket is in charge of the DayZ project then we will have to wait for him and the "dust to settle" A new year is a great time to roll the ball again. Go buy the Arma CO you will understand why some of us are satisfied with what we have, You will appreciate our patience when your playing DayZ, and why most of us can wait. You will find it confusing when you have the SA but others are talking about the MOD, as this will live on after the SA and go in new directions. Things happen, that you don't expect, I believe a lot has happened not expected via Bohemia (2 in prison, Rockets unexpected discharge, Warzzzz being released) 1 of these reasons could hold the SA up. Wait for the official reasons before passing judgement on how or why they didn't inform you. A lot of people have stated end of the year, Only rocket can tell you why, what and when. P.S i didn't mean to offend anyone particularly you Wonderland fan.

Happy new year New Zealand, P.S. rocket take all the time in the world, We have a mod to play in the meantime. :thumbsup: EDIT: an award winning MOD!
