Fraggle (DayZ)

I think we may have been to late. He probably gave up :(. Anyway, I'll add your step to my handy guide next time. Cheers.

lol. I can confirm it isn't.

^Correct, locked.

Chill out with the bumping, once a day is fine, cheers ;)

Honestly, it could be many reasons. Maybe they are poorly hidden, if someone on the server has a heli then vehicles are very easy to find almost wherever you put them. Maybe the admins are up to no good, if you think this is the case then ask them about it outright (without accusing them) and see what they say.

He's closed his servers? But Mr Laughingman, I thought this was just a hobby for you and you didn't need the money. I guess he's moved on to basket-weaving or origami then. See kids, crime doesn't pay. Locked.

Hmmm, I'm not finding those screenshots looking particularly great either. Where's the volumetric clouds? The textures look really flat too. All I see is bloom overload.

I like the idea of a map based in Colorado but TBH the WarZ one is very badly designed and way too small.

Err, no it won't. When Rocket get's back they're going to review the progress of the SA and then hopefully give us a release date.

There's quite a few popular private servers that are constantly full, the problem is that most of them aren't vanilla :/. Some only have a few variations though so the experience is just the same. Private doesn't mean it's just a group of friends running about it just means it's not connected to the main hive so any progress you make on that server stays on that server. Balota Buddies run very good and busy servers but I'm bias because my friends run it :) . They have servers in the UK/US and AUS although the UK one is quiet ATM because it's just gone through some changes. It's not vanilla though, that's the tricky bit. I've heard good things about BMRF servers too. Edit - Anyhoo, I'm off to bed, happy hunting.

Yeh, he's not far off. Oh, just as a heads up, there are some good private servers that run Vanilla DayZ. One of the many changes that happened while you were away is that many players have migrated over to private hives because the admins have more control and can deal with hacking more easily. It's down to personal taste though, finding a good server to play in is the key to enjoying DayZ. There's some great admins out there but sadly there's plenty of twats too so it can take a while to separate the wheat from the chaff.

Are you spamming topics with your server details? If you'd actually bothered to read he wants a vanilla server. Stop spamming.

I really like the idea of there being a chance of spawning in a cell, not a locked one requiring a puzzle to get out though, would get a bit annoying after the first couple of times.

Have you tried a different server? If not try it now, it's probably only related to that server.

Actually, now I think about it, it was a smoke grenade I let off, not a flare.

I've no idea if it's normal but one of my first ever deaths in DayZ was when I accidentally threw a flare in a house and the whole thing collapsed on me :/

^^Ignore every word of that, it's very, very wrong, you don't need to have bought Combined Operations. Also, having one retail-hard copy and one on Steam doesn't matter. Combined operations is just Arma 2 and Operation Arrowhead combined, you already own both so you should be good to go. Uninstall everything and follow these steps to the letter and you should be sorted in no time, it's actually pretty straight forward but there's so much confusing advice knocking around it can be baffling if you're new: 1. Run ArmA II. Wait until you can see the main menu, then quit. 2. Do the same for Arma II: Operation Arrowhead. (following these two steps means that both versions will combine) 3. Download and install the latest version of DayZCommander (it's free): http://www.dayzcommander.com/ (use this link, DO NOT download it from any other sources). 5. Update your ArmA II beta patch to the latest edition. 6. Install the latest version of DayZ (Or a previous version if you intend to join a server running it). 8. SHAZZAAAM!!! You can now join a a server using Commander to find one. I advise using our forums to find a good server, there's tons of shite ones out there run by dodgy admins with massive ego's. 7. [OPTIONAL] Install any add-on maps you wish you play on. Let me know how you get on, PM me if you need to.

:(

No, not if it's not ready. If you buy in to a game in development you just have to accept that some things won't be ready and you'll have to wait. Your idea would require more (pointless) work for the devs just to tide us over.

Steak tries to ride anything that doesn't try to kill him.

I thought they fixed that :/. I had a camp in a lake for ages until the patch changed things. Anyhoo, the best place for a camp probably isn't in a vid showing where the best camp positions are. I generally prefer obsure places in plain sight if I have any tents at all.

I disagree and find Arma 3 to be a vast improvement but I guess only time will tell. I'd imagine whatever they come up with will be unique to DayZ with the new skeletons/animations ect.

Don't forget that what you're looking at in the vids is a very early test build. The SA will have new player skeletons (newer than Arma 3) allowing for much better animations, these new animations are all being mocapped especially for the SA. And to take one sentence he spouted of the cuff about clothing ages ago to criticise him just seems a bit silly, if you've read the devblogs and watched the interviews you'll know that he isn't making a dress up doll game.

URGRGRGRGRHRHHHHHHGHHGGHHGH!!!!!!! I know you're trolling but I STILL HAVE TO ANSWER!!!!!! GOD HELP MEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! FFS...... Can't..... not ....... answer!!!!!! The reason vehicles are being held back is to give them a complete overhaul (customisation, damage ect). Having to develop another game mechanic such as riding pigs around instead would pretty much defeat the purpose of doing this. When I first played DayZ seeing a vehicle was very rare, I hope it's like this in the SA too. I played for weeks before I saw one and I hope the SA makes them rare and special again.

I'll dance on your insides.
