Fraggle (DayZ)

Are you skipping between public and private servers? Did you actually "die" or did you just spawn in fresh when you joined? More details please.

I believe the SA will have some kind of online stats linked to game accounts. I may be wring though.

The reason people hate skiddies so much is simple. At one point they nearly destroyed the mod. Many of us here work hard for our money and value the little amount of time we have to relax and enjoy a bit of escapism. To have that ruined by a jumped up little shit that used him mums card to buy some scripts that allow him to ruin the game for everyone else makes me angrier than anything. They are also the reason most games cost much more than they should. Luckily the OP got caught and banned before he was allowed to destroy the game further. Because of skiddies many of us now have to spend a lot of time running private servers and dealing with the hacker issue, this is time that could be better spent enjoying the game. I hope you understand now.

Agreed, I'd only like to see it if it's at all feasable IRL. And yes you can supress a swan with a bottle but you need permission from the Queen first.

I honestly think think this idea still has legs and would fit well with the new weapon customisation and more "home-made" style their going for in the SA. It's better than my swan farming idea.

they have opened at least 90% of the doors for the SA, not sure about blowing everything up though.

I would say if you feel like you've learned your lesson then wait for the SA. Bear in mind though that if anything it will be tougher and even more unforgiving. If you resorted to hacking/scripting simply because you wanted cool stuff and found it frustrating trying to survive the hard way then maybe don't bother at all. DayZ is about enjoying the journey and enjoying/hating the experience you have trying to survive the harshness, not taking short cuts to show off how cool your latest gun is and pwn people, there's plenty of other games out there that'll get you your quick fix if that's what you like.

:( - Well, it was a nice idea. Maybe it's best off staying in Max Payne 3

It wouldn't be a "lie" ffs. Rocket has said several times in official statements that the game would be pushed back if necessary. He is simply not willing to compromise the game in order to rush it out for Xmas. if you want to know what happens when devs try that there's a pretty good recent example that goes by the name WarZ. If thats the way you want DayZ to go then you're going to be disapointed.

Yup agreed. This is what happens when server admins have too much control. Remember what happened to BF3? At least in the SA it won't be possible so the games integrity will stay in tact.

It should be a bit clearer in the SA.

Why would killing someone turn them into a Zombie? In DayZ the "Zombies" are humans that have become infected with an unknown virus. We (survivors) are part of a small perecentage of the population that are immune to that virus, hence we are not zombies and cannot become zombies.

Did you dance at any point?

As long as he doesn't over do it and forget to actually release the game ;)

I like it. I played Max Payne 3 and enjoyed that part. I have literally no knowledge about how guns in the real world work though so I'm sure a gun-nut will be along shortly to tell us why it would never work IRL.

With that outfit Orlok I'm sure you'll get one soon.

OP - In your initial recruitment thread you said your aim is not to harass or to seek revenge. This post makes me think that maybe you weren't being honest with people as you are hinting at doing both. Of course meta-gaming is allowed and your initial concept is interesting. Group infiltration is part of DayZ as are many other play styles, that is the beauty of it. This post worries me however. Of course I can only take action if a member is being harassed on the forums, outside of that there is literally nothing I can do but I'd just like to let you know that any form of harassment on the forums won't be tolerated. Please take this in the spirit it is intended. As I said, you have an interesting idea and it's these kind of ideas that keep DayZ exciting so I wouldn't want you to think I'm against that initial concept, I'm just worried that it could turn into something personal or more serious. Infiltrating a clan or group is one thing. Trying to ruin a community someone has spent a long time building up is something else entirely.

That pretty much sums up how I play mostly. I wouldn't class myself as a hero or a bandit. When the SA rolls out though I may dust of my medic badge and get back to it.

Agreed. If they were to release it to take advantage of Xmas sales and then things went wrong it'd be pretty unforgivable. If they delay it to act like responsible devs some still accuse them of trying to maximise sales, really it makes me laugh.

If you have Arma 2 free you will need to buy Operation Arrowhead to be able to play DayZ. If you're running A2 Free as opposed to Arma 2 (full version) you will have lower quality textures and sound on much of the map and textures. With that set-up you will be able to play the other mods though. I would say that for the price difference ($6) it's worth getting combined ops.

You are registered with many hacking sites. If you've been using them, don't waste BE's time please.

You are registered with many Russian hacking sites, don't bother contacting BE.

Wow, speculation about speculation, this is interesting.

Hi Yoad, have fun!

In that article it says "the next Xbox will have 4 CPU's more powerfull than any gaming PC". Well that's bollocks right there. An Xbox basically is a PC, just a standardised version focused on gaming and for a fixed price.
