Disgraced

I thin, I read somewhere that you can use the free version of Arma II and buy operation arrowhead. Search and see if you can find a thread about it. Proceed at your own risk! L

wouldn't be "realistic" without it. especially when everyone in the forum keep harping on about realism. personally' date=' i would love rape in game, along with children survivors/ zombies, and torture. i would like to see just how far a game like that would go, not much i suppose [/quote'] You're fooling youself. Although its a great psych experiment, it's deluded to think that people behave in this game in any way like they would in real life. Killing in real life takes a tremendous effort of will for most people. The people who so wantonly kill here know its not real, it doesn't feel real, and they are only killing pixels. Realism is something we can strive for. Saying "realistic" is patently absurd, especially when you get into decisions that would have ultimate moral repercussions in real life and mean nothing in game. A lot has been made of "perma death" in this game, but frankly, that's bs. It's gear loss, and that's it. People sometimes suicide by zombie because they've bled too much. There is absolutely no penalty for dying in this game. Adding those things (rape and child killing), would just make them hollow psychological experiences, as well. The game has moved beyond the psychological factors that rocket and the early players saw, I think. That's why people are complaining about the "cod kiddies" and PKing. The game has, ironically, lost it's soul. In my opinion. L

Congratulation! You are the 1,000,000th person to make this statement!

For a while, I thought that there was a certain nobility to the dev attempts to equalize the server community. Unfortunately, every day there are three or four servers, that I can see, that are passworded with only a couple of players, or a small number, in attendance on that server. As I've not seen anyone mowing down people on real servers with gear or anything snazzy that their privations might have garnered, I don't worry about it too much. But yeah, it's obvious that something is afoot and the "don't password" rule is rubbish, or only allowable for certain people. L

I would guess that you are both using the same CD key. L

Hey, if Mumble and the state laws let him get away with it, what can you do? It's a simple, real world exploit! (I agree that it's .... Odd behaviour to spy on other people like this, but I also think its odd to take advantage of competitive, multi player game bugs. Apparently, neither group can help themselves.)

So far, I've seen reference to "rape" three times since the skins for females came out a few hours ago. Way to keep it classy, dayz community.

I like the idea of spawning with nothing or less. How is having that Makarlv going to help me against that group with AKMs and NVG, anyway? The game, however, would really need to become more realistic to do this. I would need to have, as someone said, a shove or punch mechanic. And I would need to make running viable. As it stands, zombies will pursue me forever. If I had not found a weapon, and some started chasing me, I would suddenly realize that its a game and it would benefit my use of precious real life gaming time to just stop, let them kill me, and try again. There would have to be some modicum of chance that I could outrun or outwit or lose them in trees or something. L

Uh.... The zombies can clip through doors... So you'd have died, anyway. L Before you start playing, go into key binds and unbind CAPS LOCK and 2x CAPS LOCK. These will open up server wide VCR comms and you will drive everyone nuts and risk their undying anger. Also, write down which server you are on if friends will be joining you. It's not visible anywhere in game.

I spent two careful days creeping there.. Worked my way north. Stopped in at the mil tents in Stary Sobor. Finally got up there, circled wide to make a northern approach. I didn't hear any gunfire. I watched a break in the chain link for a while, then made my move. Found a broken section in the bottom portion of the wall, crawled in where there's a patch of forest on the inside, near the large Quonset buildings. I had to go and logged out laying on the bushes, looking forward to my next session. When I logged in.... Back at the coast.. Sigh. No new patch or anything. Just an arbitrary respawn (but with no gear loss, so a minor plus!) Welcome to beta.

Yes, he wants to control player slots, kick and ban people at his whim. This game really brings out the little Napoleon complex in a lot of people! L

Yes, this is true. There are rules that server admins are expected to follow. What a shock!! If you want to have impunity to do what you want, as a server admkn, then make your own game, and host it! Problem solved.. L

I tried a search and couldn't find it... I tried 'L' and nothing happened. I NEED TO KNOW... How do I activate and deactivate my Remmy 850 mounted flashlight???

Ah, it doesn't work until a certain time?? I had no idea. Thanks... L

I had the same experience in Balota... A little better in Stary Sobor.. but not much. My first crack at the NW airfield in the next couple of days. I have the worst luck with loot! L

For myself, though I haven't respawned, I've played a bit. Everything seems good, temp want back up from 8 to 100 while checking out some buildings in daytime. Pickup seems ok (though I haven't tried a new backpack, yet). I haven't been in a fight yet, though I did distract a zombie with a smoke grenade. From here, (playing on Dallas 11), all seems well. L

You should probably stop playing it until it's out of ALPHA. and maybe you should stop being a dick im aware the game is an alpha but the latest issues are quite severe in comparison to the previous alpha state Chances are though too' date=' that at some point a new build could even reset everyone... hahaha... Watch this place explode with angry deluded people then... Rocket would need to start bottling some of those tears for future moments of retrospect.. [/quote'] Yes, entitlement + reset = huge headache. How can the community communicate any clearer, though, to everyone that these things are part of what is being done? I think that the server code should, every time someone dies and respawns, give them a screen with a link or message making reality clear to them. L

Lulz. My guy "goes" when I do, you all just don't know it. When I take a "bio" break, I,just leave my survivor crouched in a bush and hope he doesn't use the wrong leaves. Ok, totally childish now.... You know... Coughing from being sick.... And everyones eating those beans, too...

Are you all making sure that the server you are using is updated??

Agreed. Only problems: Tweaking new environment stuff to fit original vision Lag problems with new patch Zombies spotting and attacking through walls Other than that, leave it alone for now. None of this crap. Those things and other bugs, that's it.

Wow, I wish people knew that. So often people are using server wide channels to have local conversations. Ah well.
