Disgraced

I believe they said that would come with 1.7.2. Sorry...

Indeed. Ral hackers/crackers like a challenge and have better things to do. This is really just griefing, and it doesn't take much more talent than throwing a brick through a shop window or slash a few tires You just have to be enough of a prick to do it.

This has been happening to some people. It's some kind of database snafu, not a reused cd key. They are doing something, right now, if I'm not mistaken, to fix the hive database so it works correctly with arma x guids. Just respawn.

Is this fucking serious? Jesus christ, give us a bit of warning next time you pull a 'maintenance' during Australian prime time. Im surprised your government even allows you people to play DayZ, what with all the blood and violence. Do you guys have a version that squirts out butterflies instead of blood? Jokes on you, R18 just got passed in Australia, meaning we get the same games as amerifats now. Enjoy your ban.

No, not really. Yes, they could do what you suggest. But they would still be dealing with many hours' work maintaining the "public alpha" infrastructure. At least at last public admission, this is an all volunteer, free time team. Yes, bohemian has made a lot of sales, and tacit support seems to be there at least in the form of base game beta patches, but I believe that my main point still stands. They could fold the public part of this, get better feedback and save tons of wheel spinning time. I think, perhaps, you and I agree that the reason this hasn't happened yet is that the team IS so dedicated. That dedication may crash harshly into reality soon.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if this ridiculous activity pushed the mod into a real, non public alpha. The dev team and mods must be extremely dedicated to put up with the weight of all of this bullshit and not give up on at least the "public alpha" aspect of this project. It's been great so far, but think of all the hours spent on the thousands of forum posts and dealing with server set up requests. Chop all of that out, run, say 10 servers with dedicated alpha testers under NDA, and a fuckton more development gets done. We are all just extra workload that slows the development of the mod down.

Stop playing on a graphing calculator display?

Meh. It's already been pointd out. I'm sure that the revs have better things to do at the moment. I'm sure op feels quite "clever" for having "noticed" this, though. Too bad it's a bit tarnished since its been mentioned 1,000 times. We all agree, it would be nice. I would say save it for beta or even release. For alpha... Guns work. Now shush.

If you are both using the same steam account simultaneously, that's not allowed. Two separate steam accounts should have no problems. There are three players in my house on two machines. Each has their own cd key. No problems.

For quite a while, I was against long range weapons. Im all for leaving them in, WHEN they are actually represented by their supposed rarity. Frankly, every other player seems to have supposedly rare gear. The loot tables are a bullshit guide to rarity with duping and server hopping going on. That said, if they really fix duping, I hope an entire database reset, stem to stern, is part of the fix. Then, these kinds of weapons might START to reflect their actual rarity.

Zed is just the way that the letter Z is said in French. I THINK that the term (in reference to zombies), came from the book "World War Z" although it may predate. My fiancée is half French-Canadian and she says zed instead of Z all the time, even when zombies are not involved. In fact, she dislikes the term in relation to zombies, despite loving zombie games.

Throw and access gear while you have your primary out. Doing these two things with a pistol in hand results in your character getting up to do them. This can be very dangerous in infested areas.

Too much work. If you have two separate steam accounts, just create a windows account for each, then switch both sets of log ins to play on each.

The shed next to the hangar at ne airstrip. Total luck. Just for fun, I tossed a red smoke grenade out onto the runway and since the little shed building was now clear, I popped in on my way into the woods heading to the market to the west to look for just this item!

Agreed. Zombies aren't luddites. They won't go targeting electricity-powered machines, and the idea that nobody would have an interest somewhere to keep those machines going is far-fetched. These machines tend to also have backup generators and what not. These arguments are outside the box until someone points out a working street light. Hell, I'd prefer that we just have civilian cell phones "in game" that we could text or call friends and use for gps. Player to player communication is one of those things that would be great to have in game, but people will go for the convenience of external methods.

Yeah this is weird and happens with your pistol in hand. Switch to your primary weapon and you won't get up to throw or use your gear menu.

LOL my post has nothing to do with run and gun.I want more weapon sway at start means I want COD?Just a touch more weapon sway that gets removed to where it is now if you survive for a good while.....to signal learning to shoot actually maikes the game harder in a few ways. It was the "want to shoot things" and the mention of perqs. I know there are a lot of guns in the game, but that line sounds like someone that wants that run and gun experience. Nothing wrong with that, I just don't prefer it. I played for a couple hours yesterday. Granted, I am gearing up, but I shot once. At a cow. But that's part of what I enjoy in the game. I can have tension from a player to player encounter without it being a firefight... As far a perqs go, so far nothing on the horizon that shows that the mod is going in that direction. People have gone so far as to suggest skill sets and classes, but I doubt they will be implemented. Suddenly, the debs would have to focus on balance.

Well thanks to this thread, and the reasonable admin feedback and response, I feel that I might have another reasonably safe place to play. I will have to check it out to see if there are too many tagged clan members on for me to try it out, though. I find that thriving clans make for shitty servers for us solo players.

Refreshing. Thank you for making this never-before-made-on-these-forums point! And addressing the dev directly, you canny bastard!

Two separate windows accounts, one for each steam account.
