1 Thing: Your a bad troll. Bohemia Interactive Studios and Rocket's Rag Tag Army are 2 seperate entities. Bohemia has sold 700+ copies thru steam specifically for Dayz, Thats roughly 20 million dollars, how much % does steam get, I don't know. but thats alot of dough. So as a company for Bohemia to STOP all support on this mod after rocket releases his standalone would be a bad business decision. Not to mention... if you want to play Dayzmod. you still have to buy arma II from them... still generating revenue... You will find that they will support the mod, maybe only for a year after the standalone, maybe more... who knows but Bohemia isn't stupid enough to give the middle finger to 1 million people who will probably never buy anything they have anything to do with ever again. Thats why they won't be turning their backs on us. Why aren't you buying the game? Because I support people who deserve my money. and DAYZ the game could be the worst game in the world but i'm still buying it because thanks to rocket I've had the most fun I can remember in an online game. Focus on a new engine? there is no point right now. they are ironing out the details, the gameplay, how things work. Once you get the basic game principle down, then you can focus on implementing it under a new engine. WE DON'T EVEN HAVE PROPER AMMO SPAWN RATIOS YET. in short.... buy DAYZ the game, support our friends, and be patient for one of the best games ever to become just that... a real game.

I can assure you, if there is a stand alone game released for dayz. someone, will continue to support this mod. You really think they would turn their back on all of their players? How many times has rocket said that we the players are sending a message to game companies? why on earth would they abandon us after all those statements? and why aren't you buying the standalone? you bought arma 2 not dayz BTW.

Save yourself the headache and don't watch. <3 charb

I noticed in some cases you had to stand ***RIGHT*** on top of corpses to take the raw meat, but since last patch, I'd say this bugs out alot more frequently and we have to just abandon the corpse.

sitting in cherno killing players adds no value to the growth of this mod... you know this right?

What is the average time you own and keep a vehicle? I don't mean you had one car for 1 day and another for 3 and another for 6 so your average is 3.3 days. It seems as of lately, with all the new players, I can't seem to keep a car for more than 2 days. How about you guys?

I find it funny no one ever returns to steal the bicycles next to the cars. perhaps not enough risk vs reward going back to someones camp. I really miss that blue mini-van. narrow enough to easily avoid roadblocks and seats 7 !!!

since last patch? the sun... anytime during dusk, looking away fixes it.

these were arma changes not dayz changes. people are aware of the issue. search is your friend. thanks for playing.

How does one hunt a bandit if you don't even know what or who you are looking at? Really should play on a server that doesn't have tags on. makes the game much better. ( e.g you hover over a survivor in a bush and it says SURVIVOR DAVE 190M ) pretty much in full agreeance with flambo

You Can ***NOT*** put a bag within a bag. You CAN put a bag inside a tent, or a car. Tents hold up to 5 bags. so next time your at camp, drop off your alice bag in your tent and get another one for yourself. rinse and repeat... Alice bags are fairly common tho...

Where is the thumbs down option?

I think you will find it will be a while before a stable standalone game. Also, I'm certain you will still be able to find committed DAYZ servers, just perhaps... not as many

I don't know about you... but its not like you bump into a cow every 5 feet. I'm not sure if its based on a regular, veteran or expert server difficulty, but it seems to me that the hunger and thirst meters go down MUCH quicker than the last few weeks, but again, perhaps because I'm not playing on regular servers anymore... Last thing I need is to be starving in the wilderness and have a zombie from a low level industrial spawn in the middle of nowhere (those stupid covered open shacks) eating my goat !!!

Dayz isn't about warm cozy feelings. its wrought with fear and paranoia. I started without a weapon and had to run aimlessly trying to read highway signs to meet my friends in the wilderness. Somewhere in that lost and confused state I actually felt challenged, and thats what this game is, a continuation of challenges.

F12 is your friend.

sadly... it works on so many levels. GJ guys !!!

This is what we need ! all players to spawn in wooden rowboats so we can have epic rowboat derby in cherno bay !!!

You Have Obviously never been hit by a floor zombie while in a building and gotten the shakes 3 minutes after playing. painkillers and a bandage, great starting items.

whats hostile? you don't want someone to come near you so you fire a warning shot, now they think you want to kill them. you try to signal/wave your friendly, they think its a trick. you see another player and you both think the same thing, its him or me. everyone/thing is hostile. All my kills have been "justified". Some guy trying to take our car, someone who killed my buddy. but there was this one guy at the NW airfield Skunk or something, he was crawling outside the barracks so I fired a single shot from my 1911 and he started screaming friendly! friendly! so I instictively finished my clip into him as he screamed NO NO NO NO NO. I feel like an ass, but I didn't die that day. Blind trust isn't enough for team building. the thing about pvp is... me killing that guy was one thing for survival, sitting in elektro/cherno killing noobs because your a little bitch is another. best teambuilding I've done is actually as a noob with other noobs without weapons. throw a gun in the mix and someone goes crazy with power.

How does one store NV goggles in the same place as a lee enfield and a makarov. tsk tsk.

Guns don't need to be harder to find, nor the ammo. The problem is, the fact once you have 1 gun and 1 round you have infinite ammo by simply logging in and out. We need a counter system for ammunition to prevent these magic refills from happening. once that does happen, if anything, players are going to complain they don't have enough ammo, and have to swap back and forth between 2 guns in their pack/pistol. This will create more of a choice between what weapon you need to use for each situation. and finding another AK clip or Stanag round will be that much more of an event instead of, meh, why do I need 4 or these? food and water harder to find? no way. Its about where it needs to be at the moment. you might find a can of beans and get 200 health from a house, or you can make a run to the market and risk bumping into someone else.

A quiver is a dumb idea. it has been proposed before, the biggest problem with a "quiver" is now the fact you have to run around like a tool to find yet ANOTHER item to use in conjunction with a bow. So now you have to find the weapon itself, ammo (oh great you found 1 bolt next to it ! ), and this 3rd item. that is why quivers are a flawed idea. Knife idea has been beaten to death :(

Ah neat ! didn't realize mountain dew was a currency. I have 5 in a tent, so if your trying to trade 1 for a SVD camo and such... 5 must be worth... what? a TANK? WTT 5 mountain dews for TANK pst

My friend and I were trying to find a new home after all the server renames. Today we played on US 535. ran about for a bit, died, got some gear, started working on setting up a base camp. We got sniped outside Pogorevka, thought nothing of it, and continued playing. After having some of the worst luck getting back on our feet I finally managed to get back north near our base and continued out to search for items. I came across some sort of base camp with 6 or so tents (right where we got sniped of course) and began looting it dilligently. we did a pretty good job of taking basically everything and on our last attempt to make a final trip the server reboots... and upon logging back to the lobby we are greeted with [WAR] tranz and [WAR] Foo Fighter speaking/typing that he and I were both dead. so we steal your loot, some of which was ours to begin with... you rollback the server, and examine the logs to see it was us who did it? be real nice if I had the ability to see everytime someone took something from my tent. \ tents are west of rogovo, just north of that small pond within the willows if anyone feels up for some sniping. <- Meta-Gaming, not abusing log files or bringing down server to prevent from updating to hive.
