Yea but will it run crysis? +1 for Bliss

Tail rotors are very week on choppers, playing Domination / Evo (normal arma 2 for those who dont know) I used to wind up my friends every now and then with a few well placed shots into the tail rotor and watch them spin like a top :-) Option B is as you did to go for the cockpit, through the glass at the pilot will kill him outright, through the metal its pot luck I'm affraid.

Nope Never loved it :-p TBH my friends and I when it's happened and we've been near cherno / electro we've gone fk it and raided the hospital for those wonderful supplies so it does have it's uses. The worst time was when I spawned in Kamenka ran all the way to near the NW airfield where my friends were logged out in one go only to get shot in the face looking for a safe place to log :-(

If you're sure its stuck on loading and not just taking a long time (I think the hive may be stressed atm) I can reccomend launching a second DayZ / Arma instance and trying to connect with that one. I've found that if you do that and make a successful connection you avoid spawning on the coast, if you alt-tab and close a session thats suck loading I think you're in the debug plains and recently it was added that if you were in the "waterworld" or the debug plains that on the next login you'd be on the coast. Word of warning I ended up with 4 arma sessions on the go, in the end two ended up connected at the same time and I've picked up an auto ban for server hopping but that beats spawning on the coast again!

Just tried to log onto UK143 and apparently I'm on the banned list for server hopping, I'm assuming this is an automated ban and would if possible like it rescinded. If I may offer a defence, after recently noticing I was missing 2GB of my 6GB ram I upgraded my mobo bios, the result here was that I got the 2GB back but my computer started restarting randomly I believe due to the flipping MIT that gigabyte seem to insist you have on this bios version overclocking my memory, this mixed with the loading screen bug which upon encountering I've been launching another instance of Dayz until I get one that connects to avoid being spawned back at the beach again has meant quite a few disconnects in the past 24 hours and I even at one point ended up connected to two servers at the same time in different locations, go figure! I've got my mobo back to a stable configuration and bios level though I still suffer like others from the stuck at loading screen but my login count should be back to normal. I've attached a screen grab of my event viewer, I think if you check the time of the ban it will correspond with the outages on the 18th, I have not ever and will never server hop, it would be nice to get the ban removed. many thanks Ingame Name Super Six One

As the standealone is based on the arma engine he wont abandon the work so far as it's all still relevant, the real question is with the announcement that it will be paid from alpha onwards just when the switch will be made.

Funny I never noticed we get the Day X at the bottom right when logging in, just think when you die a total timer of days and hours you managed to survive would be pretty cool.

After playing DayZ for a few weeks now I had a simple idea that I thought might add a little something to the game, I've seen a few people wanting more of an endgame and thought maybe something as simple as just a survival timer would add a sort of goal in the game. The suggestion is that when you die you get the usual youre dead message with a message telling you how long you survived. i.e. You Died You Survived For 1D 3H Would maybe give rise to some comparisons and maybe some form of achievement for lasting longer than last time or longer than 35 Minutes :P
