Um, i missed some of DayZ history there. Why are they disabled?

SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! [ continue ] [ exit ]

I would like to propose a voting on the "auto complete journal VS manual complete journal" thing...

Don't know about the aggro, but my strongest suspicion is that they walk towards you because they DID detect something indeed.. they're just not sure what it is and are they going to investigate. At least in my experience, this kind of behaviour only happens when zombies are relatively close (5-10mts) and not when they are 50mts away

I took this for granted

I WOULD go for the following: -Run faster (or longer) after several *real* hours of sprinting (as in training your legs). -Steadier aim or faster reload times after several *real* hours of shootin' n' reloadin'. -Better medical expertise after patching up many times. The curve being steep enough not to unbalance PvP but still 'feel' like you are making some physical progress... I don't think he's asking for Skyrim or a dumbed down version of DayZ. These are just ideas, lay down the flame-cannon people...

+1 for this! I already wrote my thoughts on THIS thread, which I came across first but is basically the same.

+1 to this. I was just thinking this myself yesterday when I came across the "notes" section when you press M to see the map. First things first.. as already noted: The map seems to share the landmark notes of anyone who added them in any other map. As in "mega-wi-fi-map-thing-network-thingy"... To the subject at hand: I would enable the aforementioned "notes" section to the purpose the OP suggests. A freely editable writing space without the need of a map or anything else (at least at this stage). Now what I hadn't thought about, was the possibility of leaving those notes behind when you die, to be picked by another player. That is simply genious! My original idea meant that maybe the "file" which saves the contents of the notes would be saved locally, in the player's drive -to avoid server flooding- and somehow linked to the character or cdkey at the start of each session. My concerns now are that if these notes are attainable by others, they might eventually overload the server or the hive with information, or something like that; and more so if the notes can be left willingly in the form of post-its or stickies or whatever. EDIT: I don't think that automatically sharing statistics is "realistic" and therefore a good idea. UNLESS the original owner of the notes has chosen to manually write them down.

[ Game purchase only ]. (F2P sucks unless it's really free, and monthly fee makes you feel you're wasting money/time when you're not playing) [ Studio developed ]. (Not sure I understand the differences in this, but I feel the creator's vision is spot on, though I like community feedback) [ Community servers ] (EDIT: I had forgotten this.--- The servers should be regulated to a degree so as not to have "KNIFE ONLY" matches and crap like that. Maybe a few studio servers too?) Kickstarter is certainly an option but I feel it's over-saturated right now and "spoiling the soil". And I don't know many other ways you could finance this other than external producers. Can't hurt to try though, right? Kickstarter I mean.. As I was typing I saw this guy's post and thought... "well, why keep wasting time". These are my thoughts exactly:

um.. I don't want to be as agressive... chill out and try another server. If in the end it doesn't work, you know this isn't for you.

This is an exploit right? I didn't know this. Has it been going for long? I do recall a time when I tried to loot my own body after I had died and it was gone; I didn't disconnect at all in between.. :(

Don't join through Six Launcher. Do it by opening Combined Operations and browsing the servers in "Multiplayer" (you might have to add a few parameters to your shortcut for the game to recognize both the beta patch and DayZ. This can be found here http://dayzwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=How_to_install_DayZ#Make_a_shortcut_to_launch_ARMA2_Beta_with_Steam_Overlay_.28Optional.29

Yes, that is correct. At least as of now. Maybe tomorrow you can play with 94945. EDIT: the beta folder is in the "Expansion" folder mate!

My experience with 6UPDATER is slim but i would assure you that it would automatically update the files to the LATEST build. So no, I don't think that's possible. The manual process is pretty simple though, and nothing to be afraid of. Download 94876. Execute installer. Go to steam/steamapps/common/arma 2 operation arrowhead/Expansion/beta and copy arma2oa.exe. Paste and replace in operation arrowhead folder (might wanna backup older .exe though) and that's it! EDIT: yeah, pretty sure you have to delete your beta folder clean previous to executing the installer. Sorry! Ignore it and keep installing

OFFICIAL SOLUTION!! XD

THIS crossed my mind

Do we have an "official" solution to that so far?

Ok, that's a certain point of view. But I myself agree completely with "Ammo"... there's no way that developer like you, under this degree of stress, could be "incompetent" (as in screwing the experience). Every wrong step is to be expected right now. Please don't buy a lambo, they pollute and you'll die in a crash....... and herpies sting like hell.

Man, I don't want to disagree with you but, how can it be incompetence when we are talking about things in alpha state? It is THE time to f**k up. It's like now or never! Be it misplacing a file or deleting a texture, all is within parameters of a developing project which doesn't ask a penny out of the testers' pockets and doesn't have to meet a commercial deadline. At least that's my own experience and that's how I see it. Sorry, all of this is better discussed elsewhere. I'm sure there is a thread already. /end of staying out of thread. :P

I was also wondering this same thing. I haven't tried updating yet but I saw many users reporting this problem (in my head it's like 5 out of 10) Those getting this, what file versions are you using? meaning both DayZ and beta patch. And what were you using before you upgraded? I myself had similar problems when 1.7.2 first came out... I was stuck on "Loading" so i reverted back into 1.7.1.5 since then.

Um, yes it is? What incompetence are you talking about? do you even know the process of forging a piece of software? dude, as if I were to expect all your drawings to come finished and fully coloured as soon as you put the pencil on the paper! don't ever let me catch you drawing guide lines. interesting content there

Fair enough. So 1.7.2.3 requieres you to start your character from scratch? did I understand correctly? Also what beta patch are you on?

THE ANSWER for many

what happens if you download and apply an earlier beta patch? does it upgrade automatically? if it's 6UPDATER doing that, have you tried not using it?

94876 was buggy depending on which server you played.. dunno about 94945, but i would skip the previous one.
