But do you run for 50km all day long with that gear? I think not mate :) Or you would be very very fit hehe. Sure i go hiking alot aswell, with 20-30kg of gear, but i sure as hell cant even run 5km with that without having to take a long break.

I have to admit i miss the "X Days" stat, we had in the mod at login. Coz the goal of this is simply to survive as long as possible, not kill the most humans or Z's, just survive and do what you gotta do to survive hehe. But thats about it. The servers in the mod which had Players killed and Z's killed, usually was a giant PVP fight because of this. People would go kill as much as possible, simply to be the one who "killed the most", and that kinda broke the game abit. Took away the focus of all the other aspects of the game :) Just my 2 cents.

Ok just tryed with theese search word for host ingame: ZombieSkelper Skelper Zombie 1-109 109 Nothing showed up. - Remote works fine, like you say though. But i did notice you are running port 2802, where the standard is 2302, i dont know if it has anything to say, but maybe it "fucks" with the serverlist somehow. It would be worth looking into, if the server isnt on the list afther the 4-5 days, like they promissed :)

Heres the definition of MMO from Wiki: A massively multiplayer online game (also called MMO and MMOG) is a multiplayer video game which is capable of supporting large numbers of players simultaneously Thats exactly what DayZ does, and it DOES NOT have to be on the same server, so stop this please. We even have persistant, evolving worlds, like most MMO's out there atm. We have one HIVE supporting over a million players atm, and more are comming everyday. Its an MMO........ EDIT: Heres another line from the wiki, which fits spot on to DayZ and is the thing that makes up a MMO: MMOs create a persistent universe where the game milieu continues regardless of interaction. Since these games emphasize multiplayer gameplay, many have only basic single-player aspects and the artificial intelligence on the server is primarily designed to support group play. As a result, players cannot "finish" MMOGs in the typical sense of single-player games. It only states MOST MMO's have a large player base on each server, but it does not say its a requirement to be an MMO. + the devs are calling it a MMO aswell. Ohh and BF and Planetside is not persistant evolving worlds either, hence why its not MMO at all.

It looks and funktions sooooo much better now mate, awsome :) Have some beans hehe

One simple reason, you should not have to "level up" any skills to do anything in game, its not an RPG. What will happen when you die and cant do anything again? Take repairing vehicles for example, if we needed some skills, aka levels, to do this, nobody would be able to do it, because people die all the time lol. This is not an RPG, so no xp, no levels, no skills please :) And please dont use the "we can do it on another server" argument, thats exactly what killed the entire mod off and split the community completely. That is why Rocket is very hesitant to give people the option to mod and have private server, like the mod had, and im betting he has a different version of private servers in mind :) Lol... MMO = Massive Multiplayer Online So if its not a MMO, just what the f*** is it mate? Its massive, its multiplayer ONLY and its online ONLY :) Sounds like a MMO to me lol, but just remember its not a MMO-RPG :) More like MMO-Survival.

Whats the servername? Could check if i can see it, if you want to mate. But honestly im not sure how long it takes, i guess thats a matter of how fast SteamWorks are with stuff like that :) They swapped Gamespy serverlisting to SteamWorks, so its not like the mod at all :) But i cant give you a definate answer though.

Not to "piss on your parade" or anything mate, but a 2 GHz processer is not really enough to run this game well. All games based on the RV engine (Arma, Take on Helicopters and now DayZ) are very CPU dependant, above all else :) Upgrade the CPU and see how HUGE a difference it makes, and while your at it, throw a SSD in there. DayZ does alot of reading directly from the HDD, so SSD makes a big difference aswell :) Im running the game on meduim/high settings with 60+ in forests and 30-40 in cities, look at my specs in the spoiler below, it does not take much, but a decent CPU is really important in this game. I have to say ARma 3 got improved, it runs a hell of lot better now then in the beginning of Alpha, thats for sure :) But dont expect a giant difference, thats true.

Just wait a year and see how awsome it will be :D Atm its simply an "empty shell" of what i can become, nothing else hehe

It would not be "unrealistic" to carry two weapons, it should however slow you down and reduce your mobility abit. It should not be "pure pwnage" and a must, it should be a choice to do it, based on the consequenses of doing it :) Say, running around with a handgun and a rifle, gives you more mobility and you can change weapons faster, running with two riffles should slow you down (more weight, big unhandy weapons) and make changing weapons alot slower, because its not as easy as putting away a handgun. Im just trying to say, it should have some kind of consequense to do this, compared to running around with 1 rifle or a rifle+handgun or rifle+melee or handgun+melee :)

Not a bad idea, but it should be super rare and require alot of batteries to funtion tbh. Im not sure how many of theese we would see in a post-soviet state in the 90's though :)

But it wont fit the DayZ lore, because they are still living humans with infections, so stopping the heart will kill them :)

I was thinking the spoilers could be for each weapon. So basicly you scroll down the list, find the weapon you want and click SPOILER to see the weapon + attachments + possible info :) Just to make it easier to find what you need. Small example :) NEXT BIG ASS HANDGUN NAME That way it will be very very easy to find your weapon, and the info you need :) And it wont end up being a giant scroll post, when we get 30+ weapons :) Coz atm, its already quite abit to scroll through, if you dont need that info. This guide has alot of potential, but needs some cleaning to make it super easy to use tbh :)

Suggest all you want mate, but you are trying to get a core part of the game (which has been around since the beginning of the mod and is what the entire concept is build on) changed :) Giving server owners the option to remove permadeath will most certaintly have a GIANT impact on the game and the entire community, it will split it right down the middle and cause chaos. Crosshair and 1st/3rd person is not a fundamental part of any game tbh, its a feature, which doesnt have a whole lot of impact on the way you play tbh. But removing permadeath will change the way people play and the game it self will be different. It is in no way a personal attack on you or your suggestions, but i dont think you understand how big a part of DayZ perma death really is and what could happen if it was changed tbh. I think its naive to think people will play the game the same way without permadeath tbh.

Lol, what a nice example of "ive payed for this, you better do what i say".......................

In a ex-soviet state in the middle of the 90's? :) Would like some proff of that tbh hehe

Soooo, force the game to have a open mic, with no PTT? Damn thats a bad idea. Would force us players to listen to more crap from others, simply because they cant turn they're mic off during gameplay.

True not a giant truck like that, but try to put a couple of tons of sheet metal on a VAS, or any of the other small soviet vehicles, and see what happens to it hehe.

Tbh i dont think this will even be an issue, once we get 1000+ Z's on the map. The dev team has already said, if they turn loot of, they can run several thousand Z's on the map, with no major performance issues. Imagine what they can do, once they get the loot and Z systems written correctly :)

Looking from a completely different perspective, a poncho could keep you dry during rain? So you dont have to make a fire and dry your clothes. So basicly when it rains, you pull out the poncho, put it on and keep doing what you are doing, then take it off afterwards. Just a thought.

The only reason your character is human, is because he is immune to the virus, which has turned the rest of the population into infected. Just like real life, a small percentage is always immune. (us the players) That is also why you can kill them by shooting then in the chest, it is not a "regular zombie", so this idea is far from "lore friendly" :) Would like to add aswell, the "respawn" is not an actual respawn, its a new life. That is why we have permadeath. When you die, you "reinkarnate" into another human survivor, i feel respawn is a very bad word for a game with permadeath :)

Not bad. But i would much rather see theese items in the world, so players can find them and find people to "play" with. We should not have any dedicated "safe-zone-gambling-den" anywhere, players need to create that on they're own :) But it would be nice to run into a stranger and yell "Wanna play Russian roulette" :D

But you need to understand, a game needs a set of rules, which apply to ALL players, especially in a MP enviorement. This is one of thoose rules, perma death, which should apply to all, at any given time. Its a core element of the game. This thread is a very good example of the new "I want everything" generation. You cannot have everything all the time, you need to follow some simple rules like everything else. Its kinda sad that people are so "enlightened", they feel its they're right to chance stuff like this, simply because you payed for it. Basicly it sounds like you want to be able to costumize your game 100%, which no developer will ever do, because they have a vision for the game. (unless its 100% costumization ofc, which is NOT the case here)

Im all for ponchos. Of all colors and patterns :) I use my own alot when i go hiking, so it should not be uncommon to find cheap ponchoc in a ex-soviet country, where it rains alot hehe But you should change the thread name mate, people are gonna bitch because we already have rain coats :)

As much as i would like to run down the road and come across 100 Z's, coming straight for me, i have to agree with most of the others. It does not make sense some of them do it :) Either all of them are roamers or none of them tbh.
