Spammer :( @topic: Yay, empty cans!

i second that. Use Six Updater as it's WAY easier. It updates exactly what is needed and always makes sure you use the latest version.

That, too.

I don't think that unofficial servers qualify as "stealing hard work". Sure, you don't run the way as intended, but it comes with features that the official servers don't have, which in my case fit the needs of my community more. A big difference is that unofficial servers often have more friendly'ish play, where official servers are simply Kill-On-Sight servers due to the lack of communication.

My first ever vehicle happened the following way: I was roaming around with my fancy AKM, as a sniper starts to shoot at me. He kills me. I respawn. I see a motorcycle. Profit!

As suggested before, play on a non-official server, which is not connected to the hive. You will then use a seperate character which only works on that specific server. I actually run one of those servers myself.

You're qualified as a lucky ass and as a result you'll be camping in cherno or elektro hunting down unsuspecting noobies :D

Well done killing them SOBs :D I don't think someone should ever feel guilty when killing people. Its the goal of DayZ to survive, if that means you have to kill a player to do so, so be it. If that makes them rage and quit the game, it means you've done a good job, eliminating yet another threat from the world of DayZ.

use 5 empty cans on fireplace > spawn random weapon Would be cool

Why does it suck? Arma / DayZ are games based on realism. Have you ever seen people in the army or whatever ask for 'second characters'?

Find another player who also has an empty can. Throw them at eachother and if your cans hit eachother in mid-air, 2 SVD Camo's will spawn along with 6 ammo clips.

Simplest answer ever to a topic: Yes.

Just to point you into the right direction: read this thread.

This is actually a really good question. I am aware that people 'like' scripting and tend to ruin the game as well. However, we will not simply ban people based on accusations. Every claim against hackers will be thoroughly looked into and only with enough proof that the person was indeed hacking we shall initiate a ban. I know how people are these days, if they get killed a lot by someone, they claim he 'hacks'. Hell I've even had people say that I had 'godmode' on through admin access because they couldn't kill me (not knowing I had an entire backpack full of Cooked Meat to heal myself :P) I think I won't be able to guarantee hack-free servers, nobody can. But I can give the promise that we will do whatever we can to keep the servers as clean as possible. If we decide to hand out a ban to a certain player, we will create a specific topic on our own forum which contains: Playername, BE GUID, Date of ban, Reason of ban and proof. This way the players will be able to see who got banned and why and there can be no arguments about wether the ban was necessary or not, since we provide the proof.

I will try to answer them all, although I do not know exact answers to each query. Q1. If this only occurs when you launch the mod, I would expect it's a parameter you send to the 'game' when launching it. Check your shortcut's parameters for (for example) '-windowed'. Q2. If you prefer to do your installation manually, you will just have to re-download the mod and the beta patch every time an update is released. Though I would strongly suggest to use Six Launcher. Six Launcher will patch your game automatically whenever an update is released. Saved you a lot of trouble. Q3. The way the mod is launched is through added 'parameters' in your shortcut. If you want to play vanilla Arma2 / AO, simply launch the game through the actual *.exe Q4. I am not very familiar with the vanilla game (I only bought Arma2 CO because DayZ is so super awesome) but as far as I know, you can simply launch your game through steam the 'normal' way and you'll be able to play the vanilla game. Hope this helps you out at least a bit.

I was wondering what's everyone's favourite difficulty. And while we are at it, do you feel like a higher difficulty affects the loot in the server?

I only just rolled into DayZ this week and for a while been stuck on finding just hatchets and loads of ammo. Last night however finally managed to find myself some guns. First gun I managed to get my hands on was a fancy AK-74 :-)

Added Expert to my previous post.

I'll just paste the default data straight from my server for you, so you can compare it yourself: As you can see there are just minor differences like cursor and hud are on/off

Personally playing on Veteran (which is the difficulty on my own official server) and switching to my Regular server when it hits nighttime. Nighttime on veteran doesn't make me happy :(

Lol this reminds me of the time when i saw someone walk into an already half-barricaded Firestation and i placed a barbed wire to trap him in there :D

Some great patch notes there, rocket! I'm very excited to see an anti-ALTF4 fix coming up. People abuse it way too often :( I also like that 'respawning' is disabled...people tend to smash the respawn button as long as needed to get a spawn near the Airstrip :( Looking forward to test the new version asap :D Keep up the pro work ^_^

I like the Winchester, its pretty quiet compared to the usual 'rifles' you find, especially the Double Barrelled Shotgun which attracts half a town on use.
