Liar. Ghost server? Do you expect Rocket to believe such a lie? You guys were caught. There's plenty of evidence to support it. Rocket should ban you for life. Bye bye.

Perfect. :| ROFL :D

^^ HAHAHA!!

I've personally decided to stop playing DayZ until the new patch comes out. I've read all the arguments regarding the reasons why it hasn't been released yet, and it namely comes down to too many people are playing still, and the hive would be under too much strain in its transition to the new patch. So... that being said, I'm doing my part to open the way for Rocket to make a smooth transition. I've ceased playing until 1.5.8 is released. I'm petitioning all of you to do the same. The patch is clearly ready... why keep playing the game if we know that a better version is waiting for us??

haha, i don't get it ;)

you sould all get banned for disrespecting the devs like that' date=' fuckin spoiled kids [/quote'] Yes, a bit uncalled for.

1.) Continuing to TEST 1.5.7 is pointless' date=' as 1.5.8 is already done and waiting for us. Why continue testing an outdated version of the game? 2.) The continued playing of DayZ will cause too much stress on "the hive" (the central database server which holds all of our precious character progress). Since thousands of people are playing currently, if Rocket were to push the patch through, then all of those thousands of people would rush to get the new patch, invevitably rejoining the server, then thousands of people will be sitting and waiting at the "Waiting for Server Response" screen [many being denied - thus trying over and over again'], essentially DDoS'ing the hive server(s), cause the database to crash, and possibly corrupting the character save data. This problem would be ameliorated if their were a more elaborate database server system, but this is probably a couple servers that Rocket (and company) are managing themselves. We can't expect a $100k+ server infrastructure from a private mod team. dude u should definitely change places with rocket cause u obviously know everything about this mod... some ppl... I never said, or remotely insinuated that I know more than Rocket, however, based on what Rocket (and many others have proclaimed), that what I said above is 100% accurate. If you have proof that what I'm saying is wrong, then please, prove me wrong. However, replying with a pointless and sarcastic claim, with no evidence that I'm wrong, goes against the mission that the server admins repeatedly reinforce in this forum.

To Forum Admins and/or Moderators and/or Dev: I use a iOS app on iPhone called Tapatalk to access a varied amount of forums while staying mobile. I've tried to connect via Tapatalk, and the DayZ forum does show up (which means it's built on an eligible forum platform). When trying to access the forum via tapatalk, i get this message: "Cannot connect to Forum. This forum is either restricting access from Tapatalk of the installed Tapatalk plugin is not working. Please contact your forum administrator." So, that's what I'm doing. Tapatalk is a god send for managing forum use on a smart-phone (i believe it's on Android too). So, I'm hoping that you can get the Tapatalk plugin working! It's so convenient!! Thanks! Bump this thread if you're interested in the same thing. If you're interested in Tapatalk, watch this: Once you start using it, your mobile forum "dayz" will never be the same!

Tomato Tamato :P

Yeah, it's been past the 6 hours that Rocket claimed it would happen in.... It's time to put an end to this charade. o.O

OP: You'll never survive a real apocalypse with an attitude like that. The problem is, that you think this is a "game". This is a zombie survival simulator. What happens in DayZ, and how you treat it, will likely happen in the real world. You'd be dead.

It's not coming tonight.

More like whinehammer, amirite? ;) jk. jk. I think the real question is: do you think society will become anything less in the event of a real life zombie outbreak? In real life, I'm going to be spawn camping the hell out of newbs... if only for their precious beans...

I'm sure most of use will agree that random server events would be awesome. The question is, how awesome can they be? Very awesome. How difficult is it for Rocket to incorporate such a system? I don't know. So, I wanted to throw out a number of scenarios that will get some proverbial balls rolling, but first, I'd like to lead off with this amazing video, which is slightly hilarious: Events could be as simple as Jets flying over head, helicopters flying over-head (giving the feeling of a larger conflict - a global conflict, because the war against zombies has started), or could be something more complex. Here's my list of ideas: 1.) Jet/Helicopter Crash - in real-time. 1a.) Jet/Helicopter Fly-overs 2.) Military Convoy - traveling from NE to SW, into and out of the map. 3.) Bandaging an incapacitated civilian 4.) Special Zombie - all-black/devoid-of-light, with special loot, has more health, and faster running. 5.) Quarantine Zone - Military personnel defending a small area 6.)Nuke - offmap/onmap:
