If it has no slots to hold items I doubt that it is a "stab proof vest". Is that a funny British territory way of saying bullet proof?

Everyone forgets that as your character gets older your beard is supposed to grow right? I also recall injuries/scaring will be visable as the character gets older. I don't think it was planned to have "add a beard" to the character selection screen.

What needs to be done is the 5 guys working on DayZ need to buckle down on the engine issues and just get them fixed. Polish the engine asap. Bohemia then should push as many people are they can to create the content for the game under the direction of Rocket. This should provide the fastest way to a succesful beta and official game launch. Blah blah blah you sound like you haven't worked in game developement before. Makes sense to me. The fact that silly little scripts like "lick battery" and putting resources to create pay day 2 masks right before the alpha with huge glaring issues like the no-clip zombies shows a huge time management issue.

Experimental server. Need to opt into the "beta" for the DayZ alpha through steam properties for the game.

Pretty sure that a press vest that looks like that would be a plate carrier. With so few out there, you should test it. Have someone shoot you in the chest from 75 meters away. Me and my friends have been doing it with various things we find. Ballistic helmet takes 2 handgun shots, knocks you out for a few seconds, only makes you bleed a little. The helmet almost takes one 5.56 bullet from about 25 meters away, knocked out bleeding. Both were prestine and became ruined. With a prestine set of TTsKO clothing I took one bullet to the stomach from about 100 meters and I was dead. I was surprised about that actually...

Hopefully once the 5 people who are working on DayZ fix all the crap with the engine Bohemia will send over massive amounts of people to start chugging out new weapons, gear, etc. Doing this could really accelerate the process of the alpha and lead to a full game that is packed with content.

As early? How about finally.

Change your steam profile name...

The issue is the Arma engine. It is funny, a while back Rocket had said something along the lines as "So and so engine isn't good with having lots of things going on at once on opposite ends of the map". He was talking about the Arma engine. Very strange to use an engine that is bad at what DayZ inherently needs to run well.

Salaries?

I was surprised that they stopped doing updates, after recieving so much support for such a unfinished project I thought they would be gung ho about pushing ahead. I don't feel "entitled" and I get having a vacation around the holidays, it was not long ago someone took off 2 months in the middle of a multimillion dollars project no? Everyone is a human and needs time off, but I can not say that I am disappointed that the alpha updates and more importantly communication has stopped.

While I agree with you all if the game was out of alpha, I know that the people I play with want to be able to test gun damage and clothing resistance. The ability to lock a server and spawn gear should exist because we are testing. Database wipes should be occurring with each patch release and we should have the ability to thoroughly test each game mechanic. Right now it is difficult because the game is difficult (which is a good thing).

Have you seen what he is adding? Rocket is not trying to reduce PvP. He is trying to increase interaction between players. You can feed rotten fruit to other players? Handcuff people? Force-feed someone morphine? Put a burlap sack over someone's head? The game is going to be all about messing with each other.

3rd person faggotry? The whole point of the Arma engine is the third person ability to move through your enviroment. It is not counter strike.

You need to play on servers that you have a better ping to. Default max pings for DayZ mod was 200, it should be 100. Nothing more frustrating seeing someone hitting you through walls.

These two maps are different, the first is a "heat" map, the second is a few hours worth of paths taken by players on a populated server. I am pretty sure the heat map records logins/logouts and/or kills and deaths. Regardless of what they record, they are very accurate.

Screenshots? Map cords? Saying that you went by "those trees" by "that hill" on an Arma map is pretty vague.

At first the new food and drink system made no sense, then I found someone on the forum mention that you spawn in almost starving and dehydrated. Somewhere around 30% energy and thirst. Then I found a pastebin which had variables or some sort copied from the game files. This has helped me out tremendously. Everyone that joins our teamspeak new we share this with them, thought I would share it with everyone. I'd give credit to whomever made this but all it says is anonymous. Sorry about the spacing, direct copy/paste. http://pastebin.com/pMmkK1F6 Beck posted a much better link however: http://dayzdb.com/guide/11-standalone-status-effects TS3: 64.94.238.119 steam: bregan5

Are those correct though? If max energy or something is around 20,000 you start to regenerate health when your energy is above 5,000? That seems to be a bit of a low number. 25%? That pastebin of mine also did not have a "healthly" variable. Would explain why my character always says healthy.

That link is a much better organized version of that link. Awesome. I haven't ever looked much at the dayzdb wiki before.

Dayz is a game with perma death and military grade weaponry. It is a hardcore survival game. Its not some my little pony friendship forever farming game. If you are seeing people and are not equipped to defend yourself you are playing wrong. Learn to adapt and avoid players. KOS is a survival method. If you are not in my teamspeak have a gun and i can not avoid you, you are near a gun, or you have something I need I am going to scrub the floor with you. People want create convoluted methods of marking players who kill each other or expect rocket to make the number ONE survival method have huge repercussions. Learn to manage your defense not ask rocket to.

Another reason why this public hive thing is garbage. Rocket should have just made a private hive scheme off the bat. The public hive is what almost killed Dayz. While they should just be testing the game because unless you force yourself to go explore and test things there is little to do, there is no private method to play the game. Can you imagine paying 90+ dollars a month for just a Dayz server? Insane.

We are DayZ mod vets since day 1 and are loving standalone. We have a successful Epoch server and will also run a standalone when the private files are released. Our community is small, we have about 50 people across time zones who play our various servers. We are all adults and very mature who like to take days seriously but also have fun. We are not picky about who joins, just as long as they can be mature. Our teamspeak is 64.94.238.119 no port
