Ehm.... Is that even a problem lol?

Already suggested. We where told to use :emptycan:

What about the things we love? :D

No, its a direct violation of the DayZ spirit. HEATHEN!!!! DayZ without permadeath is.... *cough* WarZ *cough*

Not to mention if you put so much heavy iron on a vehicle, it will become significantly slower :) (assuming it will be iron/steel, to prevent bullets from getting into the vehicle) Unless it has a beast of an engine. but lets face it, this is Chernarus hehe and most of theese vehicles would not really be able to handle a couple hundred pounds of metal on top of them. But good list, would like to see at least a handful of theese in the game, at a later stage :)

FPS overlay is the only option atm. Like fraps for example. It is, like ALL other RV engine games :)

Wow lets not start this flame war please. Dont compare a month old "pre-alpha" to games which have been out for years and have x1000 the amount of time spend of developing it :) Give DayZ a year of development and then start to compare it, because atm its nothing but a "empty shell", compared to the end product hehe. Nope mate, Arma 3, like DayZ, is not running on CD-keys like Arma 2 was, its bound to your steam account, so theres no stealing keys, therefor no easy way to get back into the game if you get banned from hacking. Basicly you need to buy it again :)

Will start by saying, theres no such thing as a "Veteran of the standalone" lol, its not even a game yet, Alpha's been out a month :) In a year or two, you can call yourself a veteran of the game hehe. More zombies have been confirmed, they are working on it. As for the zombie behavior, sound and sight, we will have to wait and see how they make it, but im pretty sure the devs are leaning towards some, if not most, of your points. EXCEPT special zombies, has been confirmed it wont happen, Rocket does not want anything like that, although we might see Z's with military body armor or so, but thats about it. Would also like to add, the main "problem" in the game atm, is that its an Alpha thats not ment to be played at all. Purely for testing, nothing else right now.

Good idea, but it should be as simple as a "time indicator" in the server list, nothing else. :) I have to say I, and 99% of all the people i know, have never had watches, because we have had cellphones and now smart phones, so why use a watch. You will be surprised how few people actually cary watches theese days :)

The Arma series supports TrackIR, which can do exactly this for you :) (minus weapon rotation ofc) I am not sure DayZ has support for it yet though, but would be surprised if they didnt implement it, as the engine supports it.

This will happen in 3rd person aswell, due to your weapon hitting the side of the doorway, but it is a matter of getting used to :) I also believe you forgot to mention the incredible increase of tension 1st person adds to the game, it feels much more "spooky and terrifying" then 3rd person. Surely it takes away the arcadish feel you can get from 3rd.

Great guide mate, just wanna say, you might wanna organize it better with spoiler tags, so people can configure it easily, epsecially when we get more weapons :) But please do not add a map, merely describe the places it can be found. It should not be to easy :D

One reason only, to help test it and report bugs. That is the only reason what so ever to buy the game atm. If you dont want to test it, wait 6 months or so and come back :)

OR...... You could simply read the warning, which are littered all over steam and in the game it self, which state you should not buy the game to play it. Simple as that, it is far from done and BI only recommend buying it, if you want to help test it, not to play.

Have you tryed using start parameters? :) http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma2:_Startup_Parameters I might not help you, but it might also do the trick, worth a shot anyhow. EDIT: Just noticed you found the source of the issue. -_- Guess im abit tired this morning hehe

Honestly, this would take the fun out of finding loot ingame. Just like using lootmaps and other online "helpers", can suck the fun right out of it. I believe if this wil be made, it will made by a member of the community and not BI. They should not waste time with applications like this tbh, let somebody from the community make it, but i will personally never ever use such a thing, exactly like i never have or will i ever use a lootmap online.

"Ohh lord, im taking evasive maneuvers" "Ohh my, they are coming for me.... Damn i guess they really wanted that autograph" "Im sorry i dont speak third world" Damn this is awsome hahahahahahahaha. Keep em comming mate.

At the same time, please compare the size of the dev team and the amount of time they have spend on the development, prior to alpha and you will notice why Arma 3 had more content. And FYI, Arma 3 ran like horse crap for the first 2 months of Alpha, about 50% of all the people who bought it could not get more then 10 FPS, so please dont say A3 Alpha ran smoother then DayZ, i was there from the beginning and it sure as hell didnt :)

My point exactly, the humanity system it self is the flaw. We need something different, something new and creative. Not a point based system, because it can never anticipate every single encounter we can see in the game, thus making it "flawed" like we saw in the mod and the mods of the mod :)

Not true mate. Its based on Arma 2, with Arma 3 and TOH code put into it aswell. So its far from an upgraded Arma 2 engine. They basicly stripped the entire engine down and started building a brand new multiplayer architecture, to remove the clients rights from Arma 2, and make the server "boss", to prevent the scripting we can do in Arma. So saying this is "just updated Arma 2" is not true really, its so much more, thats why it took them so long to get the pre-alpha out. Coz lets face it, this is not even an alpha yet, its basicly just a giant stress test of the new engine architecture, nothing else atm really :) Thats why its littered with notes telling people not to buy it to play it yet, and thats why it will be in alpha till late 2014. EDIT: Actually im not entirely correct there. This is taken from DayZ WIKI: http://dayz.gamepedia.com/DayZ_Standalone

Well, one of the key aspects of DayZ os player interaction, which would be impossible offline :) I dont think they will make offline mode, the best you can hope for is an indebt tutorial, to help you learn the game. But it kinda defeats the purpose of the game, to go offline. Im not saying im totally against it, im just saying i really doubt it will ever happen hehe

You cant do anything mate. DayZ = 1 character with 1 life Thats it :) Perhaps in the future, we will se private servers with they're own databases, so you can have a char there and a char on the public servers. But you will most likely never get the chance to have more then 1 char on the public servers.

SImply to redo it, to fit the SA architecture better. Tons of stuff has been moved from client to server, most of the stuff they took out, was "not good enough" for the game yet.

Ok so how is it gonna be less boring with "armbands" or what ever? How is it gonna make people use comms more? How is it gonna be any different, then the pvp clusterfuck we see in the mod? You can play what ever way you want on your server, that you have payed for, i dont care. I just dont see how this will change the KOS, humanity didnt change it in the mod, so whats the difference here? Im sorry mate, im not trying to offend you, i simply dont understand how it would change anything.

Again, why should a game have more control over my PC then i have? Nope not gonna happen lol. Trust me, if this was ever implemented, people would run away from this game so fast, it would never hit Beta stage....
