That would be your best bet mate. If you password a server atm, it will get blacklisted and all connection to the HIVE will be cut, it might even get shut down without notice. (assuming someone reports it ofc) So character saving wont happen :)

Yeh you need to actually read some of the threads there mate :D Well remember, "everything" experimental will become stabile at some point :) So its not a bad idea to keep an eye on it.

Most likely no, since most of the "other maps" we have seen in the MOD arent made by BI, so in order to use them they need the rights from the authors. Some might not be interested in giving up they're work, especially to DayZ (This game has a bad reputation on the BI forums tbh) The current map will get expanded though, theres more to come :) Perhaps we will get mod tools, similar to Arma, to make maps in the future, but nobody knows yet tbh.

Announcements forum mate :) http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/forum/76-announcements-information/

You will be able to do 99% of what you want, once we get private servers mate. But the isnt any ETA on it yet, so you just have to wait :) If you rent a Public HIVE DayZ server, you cant do anything other then kicking cheaters and restarting it every couple of hours, basicly. Not much else is allowed on the public servers. Ofc its possible, but its not "legal" on a public server. I hope you reported said server mate.

Rofl apears so mate ;)

Thats very true mate, but im just thinking about some of the fantastic people who have been making Arma maps since OFP :) Some of them are still around and working on maps for Arma 3 now, thats more then 10 years of experience, in the RV engine map making. But even with a small map, nobody has ever made seasons or even tryed, to my knowledge. Ofc i cant say for sure the engine doesnt support it, but i will assume thats why nobody has ever attempted it :)

Ahh ok, im just talking from personal experience, with many years of Arma behind me. Ive never seen any map makers do this, not even official BI maps. Even people like Icebreakr have never released any kind of seasonal map, and he is one of the best map designers in the entire Arma community. So im still gonna assume its not possible, or someone, at some point, would have made it tbh. EDIT: Just want to point out, im not 100% sure about my claim, but im thinking theres much more to it then a simple "map makeover" tbh.

Im talking from personal experience, from the mod, so dont go down that road hehe. Been there and it was a sad and lonely place.

And some serious changes to the core engine aswell :) I dont believe the RV engine can handle changing seasons. Ive yet to see it in any Arma games, on any maps, what so ever. Seasons have never been a part of the RV engine games, and i doubt it will ever be mate :) Not a bad idea though, but the works vs. the outcome makes it "not worth it" tbh.

I think we just found a guy to give the: "SPAMMER OF THE DAY AWARD" GZ Boonies :D You have truly earned it!

It works for tens of thousands of people, just fine :) And if its only 30 mins since you tryed, and you havent gotten the mail yet, wait lol. Patience mate, nobody said it was instant, nobody said it was a one click registration. Sounds like you need t relax abit and come back in an hour or two. Also, you arent doing they're job because they "failed" at it...... You have choosen to participate in a development process, simple as that. If you dont like it, dont, just stay away for a year or two, nobody is forcing you to do anything. So either provide feedback or keep on yelling and screaming and see where it gets you :) Have a nice day sir!

Vote all you want mate, its against the forum rules :P The video will get removed and OP will get a warning for doing it, its been like this always here :)

Frowned, dont EVER give information about exploits/cheats ingame on the forums. As stated earlier, report in on the bug tracker and provide information to reproduce it there mate. Thats all you gotta do, but dont ever start posting videos of "how to exploit/cheat" on the forums, you will get a warning and the videos will be removed :) Speaking out of personal experience here. So, in short, lets go to the bug tracker :)-

Hello people :) Can we please talk about getting a pinned post with rules for suggestions? Its become apperant theese forums are flooded with people, making a thread with 100+ different suggestions in it, which helps nothing tbh, and its all one giant clusterfuck now. Is there any chance, the mods of theese forums could talk about this? Im not thinking nazi like rules, more something along theese lines: - Use search function before posting - If your suggestions is already on the forum, your thread will be closed without further notice, you should have added to that discusion, instead of starting your own - Keep thread name and suggestion coherent, nothing like "My suggestions" or "I think we need", stuff like that - Please minimize the suggestions in one thread to a low and focused number, makes discusions easier and gives less chance of de-railing the topic. - Its better to make three thread with very different suggestions, then cramming all of them into one thread I would simply love to have some official words, so this chaos can end and we can have some good discusions about the actual suggestions people have. You can learn much from your fellow "co-workers" on BI's forums, they are truly strict about they're forum and it pays off in the end. Now this is no personal attack on any of the mods, you guys are trying to bring light to a truly dark place atm, and i applaud you for it, i really do :) But something has to be done, if we are to be able to use theese suggestions to anything tbh.

Players are immune to the virus,so it would not be possible :) And this have been talked over 1000's of times now hehe. Next time you get an idea, please search before posting mate, chances are someone already suggested it :)

It supports it fine, theres several snow maps for Arma, where you can see footprints and tire tracks in the snow :) But the problem is, Chernarus isnt a snow map... The engine does not support seasons, at least ive yet to see actual season changes in any arma maps, what so ever :) So in order for this to work, an area of Chernarus would have to be permanently covered in snow, which does fit the area tbh. Its an awsome idea, no doubt about that, but i dont think we will ever see anything like this in DayZ :(

Its an actual condition you can get when your blood pressure is to low and cant bring enough oxygen to the brain :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greyout And yes, its not 100% "authentic" but its a quite cool feature tbh. Makes you try really hard not to get hit by anything.

Ok, so ive been to some dark corners of the "interwebs" to get you this information on desync. Its from Arma 2, but it certaintly applies, at some level, to DayZ. Keep in mind, the whole "network bubble" they build in DayZ, might change things abit, but this is the general idea of what desync is and how its caused Also keep in mind, when they speak of mods, in this materiel, it can be compared to DayZ as "more features" basicly :) If anyone wants to read the entire thread, you can do it here :) Source: http://forums.unitedoperations.net/index.php/topic/7373-why-we-desync/

Its not a bad idea mate, but one questions pops up in my mind now. Who is gonna be responsible for putting threads into the "Mod Approved" thread? Im sure the mods already has enough on they're plate, so it would most likely require "hiring" more staff to moderate the forums, or find one guy to be in charge of this. Dunno if thats possible :) It would certaintly be easier to do this, then to screen the entire suggestion forum each day, and close/merge 100+ threads :D

i can add it varies WIDELY from system to system :) You might get 100% and your best friends have 30%. My GPU never goes above 70% in DayZ, just a single card though.

Ok thats clear enough :) Theres only one thing to do now mate: REPORT REPORT REPORT :D

You are either on stabile branch, trying to join an experimental server or on experimental branch, trying to join a stabile server :) Make up your mind and join the apropriate server :)

Theres been no client optimization done, what so ever, yet guys :) And im quite sure theres no proper SLI profile setup either yet. Give it time and hopefully it will get abit better, but dont expect anything amazing. The lack of utilization of both GPU's is not a new thing for the RV engine, but it got a whole lot better in Arma 3, going from Alpha to Full :) Patience is the best advise here really.
