nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! my 2 beautiful tents! my 2 MP5 SD, my 2 AKMs, my AKS Kobra, my M14 Red Dot, my NVG... all gone! D:

^I agree completely, it's a great way to prevent people from abusing scoped weapons. at 500 meters any assault rifle stands a pretty good chance against a sniper rifle, if you can spot your enemy. and, it can be explained easily (that's the stuff in the air that makes zombies out of dead people, for example). I say keep it full-time

lol @"Entrenching tool"

in ArmA you usually have to have the object next to the other object for them to work with one another. I'll test it tomorrow

AFAIK, 'packs go in increments of 4. Coyote has 8 slots, that small thing - 12, Czech pack -16, ALICE - 20, and that mythical Coyote Elite - 24

if you mean you had your tent before 1.5.2, then it's normal, all tents were deleted prior to patching to 5.2

you're not giving enough credit to the Lee Enfield. it's a beast. it's very accurate at long ranges (you can pop people's heads at a 1000 meters). if you're good with it, it's a better weapon than that hunting rifle hands down

it doesn't sometimes. waited for 2000+ seconds once, got tired of waiting and disconnected. on reconnecting found that it had actually saved my state, just never told me about it

I was on that server when it happened. vanomas found a sniping spot in Chernogorsk and began killing every player he could see. he kept bragging in chat how he'd "kill every noob that enters Cherno". people kept throwing themselves at him to try and at least pin-point his location.

Date/Time: April, 30 What happened: My character (at full health at the time) started bleeding, then fell over, the white icon representing some sort of a snap (like a D/C) appeared in the bottom right corner, then the hourglass icon appeared, then I died with approximately 6000 blood left Where you were: in the woods to the west of Krasnostav What you were doing: nothing, just spawned in, moved a few feet, and then started bleeding heavily *Current installed version: 1.5.2 *Server(s) you were on: either FR5 or EU4, then RU (where the bug occurred) *Timeline of events before/after error: We were playing on a Europe-based server. the three of us were moving from Krasnostav to the NW Airfield, passing through Devil's Castle. when we arrived at the Airfield, the server crashed/was restarted. we then connected to the RU server, where we realized our whole progress from Krasno to the Airfield hadn't been saved. we spawned in near Krasnostav again with our old inventory, that's when the bug occurred

does the game save your progress? do you see "unsaved: false" at any time?

have tents been fixed?

again, ArmA 2 Free is there only for the map and the units, if you make a Combined Ops Lite with ArmA Free and Operation Arrowhead. you just launch Operation Arrowhead with an extra command line, that treats Arma Free as a mod.

Yes, you can install mods if you have OA + ArmA Free. it's called Combined Operations Lite you just write an extra line in your .exe's start-up properties. I can't look it up, because the Bohemia Interactive site is down also, Day Z REQUIRES Combined Operations, not just ArmA2. so you'll have to buy Operation Arrowhead or CO anyway

the only thing that I don't understand is that knock-down move. I don't know about your world's lore, but I find it hard to believe that a zombie would be able to keep me pinned down for so long alone, considering he's some dead (?) farmer, and I still have my gun :-/

and checking this link from time to time ;) http://dayzmod.com/leader/murders.php

frankly, I don't trust a person even if he's shouting "FRIENDLY", have been killed in a situation like this. if the person isn't pointing his gun at me, minds his own business, I won't shoot. but saying "friendly" in chat has no weight with me

this

to tell you the truth, I think it doesn't even correspond with servers' locations. I tried logging on a EU server yesterday noon only to find it was night time in-game (3 AM). switched to a US server and realized it was 10 AM there. edit: just asked a friend, it's 12 PM in Russia, the RU server's in-game time is 7 AM. so yeah, it's completely borked

ahaha, c'mon, man. humans outrun zombies in movies because the main characters have to stay alive for at least 1 and a half hours of screen time

enough about the ladder already... it's as if you don't know what a mess ArmA's engine is in terms of physics if you think an exploit such as this will remain in the game only because you're afraid you'll glitch and "lose all your stuff", you have another thing coming. I have a solution for you: don't climb ladders.

this. we're not in a jungle area, where the canopy doesn't let any light through. under a clear sky I expect to see at least silhouettes of buildings :-/
