Double post... delete this one Damn phone

This is EXACTLY what im talking about. Ive been in the exact same position before. I was prone on a rooftop overlooking the firetower in churno. (the one with the blue roofing) Instead of killing them, I had more fun scaring them.. "I SEEEEE YOUUUUU!" YEAH YOU IN THE FIRETOWER! Watching the reactions from a distance was well rewarding, this went on for about 10 minutes... me repeating their every move. After a bit of playing with them, We started chatting and while they thought I was scary and creepy... we ran into each other again 6 hours later. And talked for a while again... That was a month ago... on a private server. Now we run together when we can as a group. Some of the BEST moments in game have all been because of side chat allowed it to happen.

Thread speaks for its self really

I dont know what problem the OP has been getting, But when i updated to 2.4 I got a tent dupe.... from 2 tents to 20. Same again the next day and 2 days after that. Its also duped 3 tents full of items. I now have 32 tents stowed. Im worried that at some point... it will blow out and cover the whole area.... spreading like a plague day by day.... until eventually.. THE WHOLE MAP! AAAHHH!!! WE'RE ALL GONA DIE!

If anything If you max out your stinkyness... you basically become zed undetectable! I mean think about it... You mum always said... phwaaaarr.... you smell like something crawled up someones ass and died! OK... I know theyre not dead... but have a think about why they dont attack eachother. Id say like the walking dead.... scent. if you smell like them... then they would not notice you. But on the downside... Cows charge within 200m. If your upwind.. watch out!

your only as good as how you play... not the avatar. Xp would just artificially make you better at something... your actually really shit at. If you suck at aiming at a zed.... then you will only get better with practice. If you dont get better... that's because YOU suck... not because your avatar sux. YOU ARE your avatar. So if your improving its because YOU are improving. We dont need, or want... artificial perks that make us unrealistic tier 1 operatives. If in real life your an office worker and never held a gun in your life... then thats who you are in game. Some noob with a gun.. and you'll start out like one... but as time goes on you'll improve and become..... erm. this guy But you will be "Authentic" :D

you know what would be cool.. Using Googlemaps to include a street view version of this. Would probably be one hell of a task but. some how coding a virtual camera that can do 360 deg snapshotting every few meters along all the roads in the game.

Exactly, side chat reduced pvp A LOT. If you can talk to everyone... you can make friends, you can orginise groups. I saw a friend in the player list the other day... as if I could tell him though. Without side chatt.. the game feels very isolated. You are more likely to kill someone that you have not talked to.

Ban the lot of them.. their admin matty for their UMAD clan server is an admin abuser.

First off Id like to point out Im content with the way it is.. however... I think if we go down this path.. than players can choose pvp or pve at the start. But all on the same servers. pvp players can kill anyone. PvE players can kill PVP players... but not other PVE players. Identified by skin difference, whats being worn. (red vs blue?) Dark red cap/pants / Dark blue cap/pants. (red names or green names above head is obviously not authentic) "OH BUT WHAT ABOUT GHILLIE SUITS!!" Same as above.... Slightly different cammo colours... one cool greens one warm greens. Again... personally I dont care if it happens... but if it did.. that's how id suggest a solution.

Hands up Who hated the old batman films? Hands up who loves the new batman films? Im gona go out on a limb and say most of you like the new trilogy to the old ones? Why? My thoughts are this. They are much more grounded in reality. They have a sense of "this is not entirely realistic... but its not totally Unbelievable" And that's the thing about any good movie. or game for that matter. Costumes, characters, weapons, vehicles, setting. They all have to feel believable to the viewer. Could I stretch that as far to say as... more Authentic? even... Immersive? I don't think that's such a stupid comment. Batman... is not real, its fantasy, its creative... But... it still has believability. So, what I say taking away from this... is that just like any fictional movie that's grounded in reality. A game, grounded in reality like dayZ... Can have creative exceptions to "realism"... If its not nessisarally "realistic" but has some grounding in reality.. than it will work. Any game needs balance for it to work, Realism shouldn't come at the cost of breaking a game. So I think its important to not get bogged down in an argument over tiny details that in the end... wont matter.

lol It reminds me of how naive people on the internet can be. Most guy's World of Warcraft girlfriend's for example: http://edge.ebaumswo...ernetDating.png

Why in game do I hear no farts? Why is the whole place not flooded and 50 degrees. We eat so many fucking beans, bloody well should be :P Cows don't help either.

The mod may indeed crash and burn with peoples feet doing the talking, but you know what.. It means nothing, because I bet almost every single one of them that left out of disappointment due to bugs, hackers and bandits will come back when the stand alone is here. Call it human curiosity. I think of things to come, I'm reminded of the movie the wizard of oz. We were in cansas, all dull, black and white. Right now were at the point of the twister, shit is crazy, confusing, a mess. Everyone running for cover.... bandits and hackers and bugs.... oh my! Hackers want to get us....and our little dog too. But soon, we are going to come to a sudden stop. We will dust ourselves off, see what the fuss is about, And find ourselves in a strange new land, fully of mystery and wonder. Everything is bloody bright and gruesomly beautiful. A land called (insert title). So shutup and wait.... you fucking munchkin :P

I just came into this thread, read most of the op.. got the gist of it. Overall, a little short sighted and a little too quick to judge. This is more of a wait and see, were in it for the long haul kinda thing. This game is not failing, its actually doing the opposite right now. Its turning 100,000 members nearly every few weeks. When I started a month or 2 ago it was around 500,000. Its Now pushing towards 1 million. That's a pretty big milestone in such a short time since it went public. And here's the kicker.... its not even a game... its an alpha stage proof of concept for a future release of a game. Rocket was very very smart for ill bet UN-intentionally, releasing a mod in alpha stage to the public. He has created a massive fan base and essentially created free publicity driven by the community for something that doesn't even really exist yet. (future game) He also has a massive resource of alpha testers and think tank and the bastard isn't even paying them! lol. Thanks to the community forums. Now pit this against.. oh lets say Bioware. MASSIVE game developer, HUGE resources, money and some of the best of the best in the industry at their disposal. Owned by EA! Their mmo baby "the old republic" is tanking, From 1.3million subscribers, down to Id say from whats been said... between 550,000-700,000 and its still dropping, all within 7 months since launch. Why? Because Players make or break the game.. no players.. no game. Players increasing at the rate they are, is proof of whats failing or not failing. You dont get to decide if this mod is failing or not, because you are not 944,000 players. If players start leaving in droves of 100,000 every month or so... id still not agree with you. Not while its just a mod of Arma 2. Because fundamentally that's all it is... and its getting closer and closer to hitting a brick wall as far as evolving goes. Because there's only so much rocket can do without access to the source code. So it has to leave arma 2, and thats a big game changer. It changes EVERYTHING. What we currently have will be gone... dust. But out of the ashes... something new will be born. So all this "the sky is falling the sky is falling" talk... is all for nothing. Your playing a tech demo... not a game. Its a long road ahead... and this is just the tip of the iceberg. Give it a year and then come back and see if you still feel the same way.

no

LOL at the OP name with this thread. Fuck fuckity fuck fuck. Is this a FPS? NO its a milisim

Just to clarify my previous short answer, I don't think sniper rifles and silenced guns should be removed. Not really an option.

I was about to post a thread for a garage sale. I had a tent dupe bug happen to my camp after server went to 2.4. Had 3 tents turn into 25. (huge mess to cleanup) This duped lots of items. So I have 25 tents X4 cyotes X2 m1912 / m9sd / g17 / m14 aim / mp5sd X1 pdw X12 grenades X3 toolboxes Plus Other tool belt dupes X2 antibiotics To trade for: Nvgs Ghillie suit M107 or dmr M240 or mk48 M4a1cco sd Gps Range finder

I gave my beans... just so I could take them away. NO

I think they should have a 30 min re spawn delay, realistically if you cleared an area they should be gone. people don't hang around longer than 30 mins in most places. But this should be dependant on where. Frequency should change depending on if its an open area, mid sized town or city. Cities should be a 15 min delay on each individual zed. Not as a pack.

O.o WTF dude. Have you ever been in shock? I can tell you, you don't feel like running...or doing much of anything for that matter. I think your confusing shock with adrenaline. Now if you had started this post with an adrenaline shot as a lootable item then you may have something.

Ask anyone in the police or military about shooting while running, see what they say.

They are a nessisarry evil at this stage of development. They find holes in software and point out security flaws. These are the kinds of people that get hired and get paid by companies to break their shit (ones that make the hacks I mean.) Think long term, take it on the chin and change servers.

Id love to know where this is on the map. Can you even get to it walking? Why would BI even put it in the map... Dev testing?
