Fraggle (DayZ)

Yup, just find yourself a good private server, it'll save you a hell of a lot of trouble in the future.

We're testing. 30 keys (or less? Not really sure) have been given out for server/stress testing ect. Nothings slipped out because we're not douches :)

Plus loads of info. I for one didn't realise that DayZ would be using new player skeletons (as in completely new), they don't even have those for Arma 3, which is rather awesome BTW.

It's the high stakes of perma-death and losing everything that made DayZ so popular to begin with, that's where the tension comes from and the sense of reward when you manage to survive for a long time. I don't see that changing. Ever. This isn't a game of quick thrills and isn't likely ever to be one. It's supposed to be hard and frustrating, that's the point.

People keep talking about Arma3 as if Stratis is the only map (it's the smallest one). This is just the alpha, there is much more to come.

STOP BUMPING YOUR THREAD. READ THE RULES. ONCE A DAY IS FINE. CHEERS.

It's a free mod for DayZ I think, seems to be pretty popular though.

Have a friend carry a can of Mountain Due and nothing else from one side of the map to the other. You and anyone else on the team have to defend him, if he dies someone else has to pick up the can and drop their weapons and meds. Do it on a busy server and make him walk through Cherno and Electro for maximum challengness. Edit - I forgot to name my challenge. It shall be known as "Pilgrimage of the Dew". Double edit - I've just read everyone elses and I think I'm the only one that didn't understand the format :/

Here you go. I think all the info you need is in there somewhere: http://dayzmod.com/f...filters-update/ And here's the actual filters: https://code.google.com/p/dayz-community-banlist/source/browse/filters

Yup. Learning your way around and learning to read the map and the landscape is a big part of DayZ. You and your friends will all spawn on the south coast so as long you stay on or near the coast you'll figure it out.

For around £25 you get a lot of game. You get 2 full games and access to hundreds of free mods (DayZ is just one of these).

OP, aren't you the guy/girl that was having CD key issues in Febuary? If that's the case you said you Purchased the game via Steam so you'll need to contact them regarding that. Now I'm really confused. Call me a cynic but something doesn't add up here. Double locked.

A year or 2 ago? DayZ didn't exist then? You don't get banned for having a high ping, that's just not how it works. Anyway, you need to contact Battleye as they are the only ones that can help you.

I would say yes. You can buy both games as one called Combined Operations. Shop around a bit as there are many good deals to be had ATM.

It really is a choice only you can make. Here's the development blog for the SA which is the full game being developed dur to the success of the mod: http://dayzdev.tumblr.com/ If money is no issue for you then I'd recommend buying Arma to play the mod but I'm biased because I love the game. If you're counting your pennies then you may want to wait for the full game although we don't have a release date yet. Read up on both and make your choice :)

Legacy. Please read your PM's. Your original post was merged with an ongoing discussion so as to not dilute the debate. This is now the third time you've made the same topic after we have clearly told you what to do and what happened with your original post. |We also answered your question. Please read this AGAIN and DO NOT make another (4th) thread about it. Also, DO NOT bump a post one minute after you have posted it.

I don't remember attacking you. I simply offered you what I thought. Your initial comment said that you felt "raped by BIS". We spent some time trying to explain why maybe we thought you shouldn't. Sure, we're mods but we're also allowed to express our opinions. I didn't shoot you down, I gave you good reasoning and backed it up with facts. Your initial complaint could have been worded better to avoid confusion and you did move the goal posts slightly when you realised they were both separate games. Anyway, to sum up, I hope you don't feel under attack. It's just a discussion. I've been openly critical too of the DayZ devs in the past as well as BIS when the need arises, I just don't happen to think this issue was something that should have left you so angry (especially considering you have already been offered a refund :/ ). I hope Steam sort you out.

Might be worth chasing it up then if you feel it's worth your time.

Have you asked on the Arma forums or Steam yet? Maybe they can explain better than us.

As I said, the people that bought OA on it's own (it is a game in it's own right) and then later wanted to upgrade to Combined Operations would only need to buy Arma 2. OA has it's own campaign as does Arma 2 and they both have a shed load of content and have both been supported by BIS for many years after their release so wanting to recoupe some money for that support seems fair enough to me. BIS are well respected by their fanbase for supporting their games and free mods for many years after the initial games are released. Of all of the thingS raping you of your money in the game industry right now (micro-transactions, paid for DLC that's ALREADY ON YOUR HD on initial install and devs dropping support for games the second they have your money without even fixing game breaking patches, I can't help but think you're barking up the wrong tree.

Why not? They're both 2 separate games. Some people will have bought Arma2 in the past, others might own OA. My friend actually owned OA and needed to buy Arma 2 to play DayZ . To combine them users will only need to purchase the other one, do you see?

@ DrGonzo - There is no need to be upset. As you said a quick read on here (our front page says to buy Combined Ops for DayZ) or 2 mins research would have solved your problem. As mentioned above, some people already own Arma2 and only need OA, lets not forget they are both standalone games in their own right, you don't need one to play the other. I fail to see anything shady about that or anything else. Regarding the SA the devblogs are very open about how they're not rushing out the SA. Arma 3 was in development long before DayZ SA was even thought of and their development paths are entirely separate too. I'd imagine they do want us to buy ARMA 3, that was the point of making it. You can out your tin hat away for now.

Your skills are coming along nicely Steak, keep at it. I can't even see the joins any more.

Op has his answer. Locked.
