Zombie Jesus

Says the guy who started the players should have to take a shit in game thread a couple of days ago. The medical system is already being reworked so anyone expecting it to be the same in standalone are going to be disappointed.

I see someone is bad with humor, even if the joke was bad it is completely obvious that it was a joke fool. People should read the one line questions for rocket and see all the ideas that are being developed or seriously considered. They even talked about considering taking a dump which came up with someone making a stupid joke.

Well that does suck and I feel bad for the poor advice.

I know it really destroys the complete immersion that comes from firing up your computer, opening dayz commander, and then loading into a server. Edit: sorry I actually think suggestions shouldn't be dismissed so easily and I think the injury system is going to get a complete overhaul I just couldn't resist the oppurtunity to be sarcastic about the immersion.

I am surprised so many people still don't know what these things are, if there are no flies it is not a dead body and every time you find one they have a pistol out while standing. Seems legit, probably just a dead guy right.

Wow, that map looks awesome.

If I have a satchel to spare the tents are gone, if not I won't waste my time loot piling just to be a Dick, not because I am trying to be nice but due to me not caring enough to waste my own time.

Look up server name and dayz on google and you will most likely see a link that says show restarts.

Yea I have died to this bug twice recently, but your body with all your gear should be where you collapsed. I was able to regear last time it happened, but the run to stary will suck, but if you want your gear back that is where it is.

Chernarus feels the most authentic but I have been loving lingor, hard to say really. I want to say lingor but I think it is due to it being new and more casual than chernarus, plus all those miltary spawn sites and most buildings can be entered. I don't like utes, ArmA2 exists for deathmatch so I really don't see the point, but I have dropped in a few times to get some kills then take my death. Takistan, I think my spawns have sucked and the one time I actually found decent gear I got hacker killed a minute later. Takistan life is fun, having to run through a bland desert is not really fun.

And the award for best use of a Venn diagram goes to, Orum. Out of all the unrealistic playstyles in this game camp raiding seems low on the list. In a survival scenario people would raid for supplies, so I will say it falls into the happy coincident category.

It is where you help a girl with pottery like Patrick Swayze. Wait I was just informed that I am too old for the internet, it refers to server hopping to get a better position in combat.

Hoping he meets his own deadline but I could see them having an issue and not wanting to rush out a subpar product. I am going to say mid January that way I can be happy if they meet the target date instead of being pissed they missed it.

Over it, your points are well thought out and valid good sir. We should all read the endless amount of hacker threads and be glad people want to share their stories.

Kill me now if I have to roll around with a double barrel shotgun for any amount of time. You find the military gear at military bases, I do not enjoy getting AS50 sniped nor do I enjoy sniping myself, but it would take away a great deal of danger if these guns were not available. If they were used for overwatch instead of psycho killing sprees most people would not mind, you engage a group and get shot by their sniper you will learn to look for the overwatch position or not engage a group that you are not sure about. If these guns were rare and had durability issues most would not have a problem with them, because most people would not want to waste resources on newb sniping the coast. People saying it is not realistic that these guns are present are being absurd though, did they all disappear magically when the military was overrun (you see military vehicles and dead soldiers everywhere, what guns did they have). A light machine gun would be present in any situation like this, in fact most American military squads will have a SAW gunner and a combat engineer (meaning you would find more explosives, not less than you do now). If they remove the anti material rifles I could live with that (do not like them to begin with) and maybe even the L85 thermal scope (ever used it, the only awesome part of that gun is the optics everything else is pretty standard), but at least keep SVD, DMR, and maybe add some more civilian rifles (depending on the setting these would be all over the place). Maybe European gamers have a different perspective than someone from America, a land that has as many firearms as people (so remove most of the people and you have an absurd amount of ammo and firearms just laying around for looting in this country).

Ok, I now understand, you are just bitching despite knowing the developers are already working on the issue. You are pretty much exhibit A in any discussion on why testing versions should always be closed, at least I now understand so I can stop engaging you like a rational person.

I get the concern and im trying not ti be too big of a dick, but you are still complaining about an issue that is well known and is outside the control of this game's developers. Counter strike started out as a hacker paradise as have other games, I posted a very detailed response I got from rocket about this very issue. So what part of that response sounds like they are not taking this issue seriously? I suspect that you want the something that is impossible, you want the current mod to be hacker free and despite being told numerous times that is a pipe dream you still expect it to happen. Edit: this is a dayz conversation and the mod was never expected to generate this level of interest. I think it ia fair to reserve judgement on THIS project until an actual version comes out. I understand if you are worried about their track record, but you are making wild assumptions about a product you have never used. I hope they address a great deal of the hacking problem, but until it is actually released I feel like these threads are becoming a broken record. We get it, the mod is infested with hackers and unfortunately it can not be addressed until standalone.

Since this is not the end product I would say you are doing so without enough information to call that product defective. You could have patience and wait for that product to be released, or you can continue making false assumptions based on a mod the creators know is deeply flawed.

Implied nothing was a statement of fact about this mod, nothing else. Would I love this.mod to be locked down, yes. Does ArmA2 allow the mod to be locked down, no. Whining about it now does nothing to.change that fact.

Somebody does not understand the problem, the problem is ArmA2 being insanely script friendly. This is a mod of a game, you can not break the actual game to fix a mod, so this leaves us with hackers. To address this issue a standalone is being developed that will make injecting scripts far more difficult and easier to detect, but as it stands now the engine accepts scripting because scripts are a big part of the game. If you do not think the steps being taken to lock down standalone are acceptable I would suggest not purchasing the standalone for a couple of weeks to make sure the issues you find important are addressed. Complaining about the current state of the mod is a little like somebody in Seattle complaining about the rain, it gets old really fast when you should know why it is happening in the first place. If you can not take the current hacking epidemic, stop playing or at least migrate to private servers where it is less frequent due to vigilant admins. For the love of God stop with the rants making it sound like it is easy to fix the current mod, it is not easy and hacking will continue to be a huge problem in the mod and the only relief we will see are ban waves popping up every now and again, quickly followed by new Battleye bypass scripts and more hacking. Either accept this fact, or stop playing a mod that you know has these problems that will not be solved until standalone, it really is that easy.

Look around the forums, read the one line questions to Rocket where he is asked where hacking ranks on his priority list, and actually try to understand the problem before freaking out. Here is a great explanation of what is being done to combat this problem, keep in mind that the same weakness of the ArmA2 game that gives us hackers is the strength that gave us Dayz.

It is funny because I have done the same thing the past two nights, got bored or frustrated with the boring task of switching my camp to another server and logged out and played the new battlefield maps. I had a moment where I shot a guy near some buildings and thought about infected agro. Edit: OP is doing it wrong, after you take a death or two as a high tier player you will almost feel relief to stop playing so cautious. You will then realize that no matter how cautious you are something is going to kill you, why not at least have some fun before taking that death. I had a 28 day old character killed by a rock North of the Ural spawn, my buddy picked up my NVG and GPS, but did not have room for any other gear and it really changed my perspective on how I was playing this game. I could continue to hid the in the forests going on vehicle hunts in remote areas, or I could mix it up and maybe take an enjoyable death instead of getting snipped at the NWAF or killed by rock. Also who cares if they die with an AS50, I hate that gun and would rather run around with an AKM than have to be subjected to sniping. I have lost my favorite rare guns twice now (M240 and MK Mod), but I at least had fun with them after that initial glitch death where I had only used 30 rounds in a week of heavy playtime (my sidearm dealt with infected and I got into one PVP encounter and used about 20 rounds to kill the player). Dying sucks, but living scared is even worse.
