Ok, my bad then :) I just remember something about some pants being partially visible, due to a bug in the current build. But i cant find the source now ofc -_-

You are correct, however, when i play this game, or any of the Arma games for that matter, i NEVER use 3pp, but since i could not be sure other people didnt use it on the server, they where given an unfair advantage over me, simply because i dont like it. Ofc you can exploit it, look over walls, around corners, inside buildings, without ever exposing one self. That, in my world, was never the intend tbh. Now we can lean back and rest assure every single player on the server, we join, have the exact same advantage or disadvantage as one self. Perfect solution really. And since theres no fundamental change to gameplay, from Regular to Hardcore, i dont believe it will have an impact on the community, and i believe neither did the devs when they though this beauty up :) Finally we can lay this 1st vs. 3rd rage war to rest :D We can move on to a better place and use our time and effort, to talk about much more important stuff.

Mate, no offense, but you are writing in the official statement thread :D This thread is the statement, this is the reason why it wont save progression on some servers atm :)

No no, not as far as i understand. The update, which had this impact on the saving/loading of chars, was to create "shards" inside the DB, so it can handle regular and hardcore servers, inside the same DB, but different "branches". There was no mention of private servers, what so ever, at least not yet :) Basicly, again as i understand it, the main issue here isnt actually the patch or the servers or the DB, but some configuration of the OS (most likely windows server) from which the servers are running, so instead of either connecting to the regular or hardcore "DB Shard" it simply doesnt connect, and thats why you cant save progress on some server atm :) EDIT: But Vilayer are correct in they're terminology, the only difference, at the moment, between Regular and Hardcore, is the 1st/3rd persoon view options :)

No no, it was done before the alpha even came out mate. Thoose videos are from last year, from the devblog :) But still keep in mind, zombies are broken and full of flaws hehe, so it might not work 100% as it should yet ;)

Unintuitive? All you have to do is click your name and change it, it could simply not be more easy mate :) Theres no reason to "pack it away" in another menu, this solutions works very well.

Look at some of the videos on the devblog and you will see this is not true, they changed from a system, exactly like you describe, to a much more dynamic system, where they actually change path, based on your current location, in releations to the Z's :) Theres a long video about it in the archives, right here: http://dayzdev.tumblr.com/archive

Its already there, thats why we have regular/hardcore servers now. You will ge private server in due time mate, but the public's need to work first tbh :) As far as i know, theres no date for private server support yet.

Does it matter when you can change the name in the menu now? :)

Welcome to dayZ ;) Jokes aside, zombies have a ton of issues atm, which are all on the bug tracker, so just be patient and wait for a fix. It could be long though. Nobody but the dev team knows :)

Glad to see you are on it guys :) Dont play for a couple of days to be on the safe side tbh :) They are working on the problem, which is much better then working on a list of "working servers". Patience my friend :)

If this doesnt help you mate, you should contact steam, as the people on this forum has no control over it tbh. I am having the same issue with Dota 2 and have always had, but ive learned to live with it :)

Can they do this without getting into any kind of copyright issues? If so, do it :) The more items the better tbh, we should end up swimming in thousands of different items, so we can customize as much as possible hehe.

Its a known bug in the current build mate :) Back to topic: I came here, thinking i would find a wall of text and a rage war, but instead i find Hetstaine, trolling the fuck out of the community ;) Nice one mate haha, made me laugh!

Well, they tried to make a much more complex system and ofc its far from polished mate :) But in the end, it will work a hell of alot better then a simple "eat and get blood" system, as the mod had tbh, which is to easy. Ofc you are free to think its crap, but with the time they already spend on it, i truly dont believe it will ever get removed again. Now, dare i say it? Alpha ;) Very very very early alpha hehe, expect things to not work, expect your char to die for no reason, expect the game to fuck you over on every possible way atm. Thats the essence of alpha testing :)

Yeh like some people already said, survive at first. Once you feel like you understand how the food/thirst and medical system works, you can start to work your way towards being a Hero :) But its a steeeeeeeeeep learning curve mate, be prepared for some rough times ahead.

Ask the dev team why it should be called hardcore, but my guess is they got more up they're sleeve for theese servers. Possibly remove alot UI stuff, like crosshair and player list, etc. It cant be simply because of 1st person view, because some "regular" server are using it atm, so im quite confident we will see more to make them truly "hardcore" :) It also doesnt make sense to split the HIVE, simply because of a view option, theres gotta be more to it. Well, where you around in the community 1-2 years ago? It was a complete clusterfuck back then. Compare the forum of that time to now, and the people are actually really nice and polite now lol, as strange and unbelieveable as it sounds :)

As with everything in DayZ. "You get it when you get it" lol :) Patience people, we are barely over a month into the alpha development hehe. If i would have to give a estimated guess, i would say mid to late Beta most likely. They have no reason to release it before then tbh. Its easier to control development, when the server files are under "lockdown".

Report the server, so the scums can get whats coming to them. We players need to start doing this more, Admins should be afraid of the "power" we have, so they simply dont abuse they're power anymore. Report the bastard i say!!! I want to add aswell, for SA, refer to the rules posted in the SA forums, not the mod forums tbh. Thats why they are sepperated tbh. DayZ SA server rules: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/158966-dayz-standalone-server-hosting-rules-server-reporting/ EDIT: I see theres no actual rule about kicking, strangely enough though, my bad folks.... -_- EDIT2: Ive written the forums mods, asking them to clarify the rules for SA, because i simply dont believe they will condone kicking for no reason, when that was never the case in the mod. Lets see what they say about it :)

Yes that would be awsome tbh, but im pretty sure they already though of such a nostagic thing :) If they havent, well, they gone F'ed up son!

Dont derail the topic mate, go to the proper thread and dicuss it :)

True mate :) And im sure they are on it. Bohemia Interactive isnt know for slacking off, when it comes to development tbh. They have some awsome people, really talented, and they know every little bit of the engine, like the palm of they're hand aswell :) But do remember, this is "untested" ground for them, they have never made the RV engine do, what DayZ demands of it, so its as much trail and error for them atm, as its something they can easily fix :)

Exactly, and thats why its AWSOME they are dividing it into regular/hardcore. Everybody has the same "tools" now, so everybody has the same dis- & advantage now :) Im truly loving this move.

So basicly you are saying "fuck minorities", because you dont beleive my "anecdote"? Nice one..... jeez. It has something to do with the RV engine and this has been a problem ever since the first Arma mate, its not new and its not a lie.... Go to the BI forums, search for this subject and you will see, its been an issue for a long time. The engine have the capabality to remove this from the "mere fraction" of the users, so why not? I want to add, ive been in a couple of milsim communities, in my Arma time, and theres always been 5-10 people with this issue, always.... EDIT: See what you have done? You have made this "true 3rd person view hater" defend 3rd person view lol, simply because you dont believe me.... Damn, i feel violated right now!
