Nooooooo! I was reading some things about DayZ, and I read that Rocket's goal is to turn DayZ into a stand-alone Free 2 Play game! That's disappointing, so I really hope that's not his aim, and that it was an awkward assumption from the writer... The thing that makes DayZ so great, is the fact that when you're banned, you're forced to buy another CD key to keep playing. That, in itsself, is an anti-cheat. Something that truely deters people from hacking on games like this, are that they're pay to play. Even if it isn't expensive to buy a CD key, it's still money wasted if you cheat. If the game becomes standalone Free 2 Play game, everyone will cheat. Doesn't matter if they're banned or not, they'll just get a kick out of greifing all of the players. The standalone part I'm completely fine with (although I'd hate to have to pay for DayZ again, seeing how I bought Arma 2 solely to play DayZ). Either way, I'd be more satisfied with that, than a free to play version of DayZ. Just sharing my opinion.

I've installed the newest patch (95028) and I'm having a ridiculous amount of trouble connecting to any servers whatsoever. Be it 95208 servers or previous ones. The only hint I'm getting is this: http://vvcap.net/db/...D74WJLJoq3s.htp and http://vvcap.net/db/1jadeW5qNkC03RJRNHZH.htp The rest of my group basically can connect to servers that I cannot, so I'm guessing it's an individual problem rather than an issue with the update... Any insight would be helpful.

Wow, you're a wonderfully creative writer. I'd personally suggest keeping this up-to-date. I'd ignore what anyone else says, I'd do it just for the practice and experience if I were you. Keep it up :)

Wow, talk about some insane luck! My group had a car and a bus, but we lost them to a server reset... We've been playing for a week without them and have found one bike, one car, one ATV. Lost them to a server reset too... xD

Lawl... What an idiot.

*claps* Nantahala rapids in North Carolina. Nothing better than falling into the river looking for the liquor bottle.

Fact of the matter is: Nobody wants to team up with other folks, they find it easier to kill people n' steal their shit. It's supposed to be a sim, but it's not going to be anything like that. Not only is this an open-world PVP-supported game, but there's a large benefit to killing other players. PVP isn't going to stop, it's going to get worse. Get used to it is the only advice I can give. And yes, the Call of Duty community is full of pathetic little children that don't understand the difference between shooter games. It's expected, the only thing they know how to do is kill other players. Forgive them for their stupidity. They're trolls by nature, all good.

Doesn't matter what I try, I always get the same error. The people I'm playing with are running the same patch as I am, and are all able to connect to the same servers. I am unable to do so...

I've been using Six Launcher, but I'm still getting the error. About to start pulling my friggin' hair out.

Not sure what the issue is, but it's becoming a hassle... I've tried almost everything D:<

A tip that helped me a lot: Go to Start-> Documents -> ArmA 2 Find the files ArmA2.cfg and ArmA2OA.cfg and open them both in Notepad (Or whatever text editor you use) Find the lines GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1000; GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=3; And change them both to: GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1; GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=1; That helped my framerate a ridiculous amount, hopefully it helps you too.

Lol, CD Keys are only $15. Not like banning someone is keeping them off the game. And let's face it, Terms of Service are only there to protect the company from law suits in general. Nobody reads them unless you've got a guilt conscience or you're looking to sue for whatever reason. You're my hero.

I haven't noticed much of a difference, although I noticed a HUGE difference after following a guide which told me to change some settings in my Arma2 config files. Good news though, I'll check it out tomorrow.

Holy shit bro, I love you. I went from like 12 FPS to 40 xD Take my beans you sexy bastard.

I could say this was helpful indeed. I was wondering about some of those spawns.

~Recruiting has stopped for the time being. I will bump this thread when accepting new members~ This thread is to recruit new and old players into our survivor's group. We're currently a small but growing community that supports several games. We recently aimed toward recruiting folks to play DayZ with our current group of about 6 or 7. We do not currently have a 'base' set up, but after we aquire more people we intend to do just that. We're fairly experienced players, but nowhere near experts of DayZ. Our entire group is fairly fitted between silenced assault rifles and long range .50's. We play the tactical side of DayZ and attempt to avoid hostile player contact where possible. We attempt to make friendlies in-game, but most people would rather talk with their trigger finger :c We currently have a forum that supports the games that the people in our Community play, and we also have a very large Teamspeak to accommodate anyone who wants to join. If you're interested in joining us, or just want some more information feel free to send me a PM or post on the forums.

So far we've got about 8 people. More people are welcome to join, just PM me or post on the forum.

Yes, anyone else who is interested, keep in mind that we would really like it if you had a mic to communicate. We do not use in-game comms in most cases, so the ability to connect to Teamspeak 3 is very useful. Thanks for the posts so far :)

Cool shit. I liked the "I'll keep a bead on him incase something goes down..." sounds like something I'd say xD

I've been playing DayZ for a little while now, but I'm nowhere near completely understanding the game. I'm having some issues setting up a 'camp' so I'm asking for some insight. I've no idea where to start... I'd imagine a need a tent, but what else? Can I secure my camp? Can I build something to store items permanently? Where should I try to set up a camp so it's secure and I don't have to worry too bad about my items being lost? It's a lot to ask, so any suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks :D

Yeah, this server is bad. Myself and 5 buddies joined this server and within 10 minutes we were all killed. How you ask? I was killed by a flying bus dropping bombs. 3 others were killed by a fully automatic M107 with a teleporting user. The other just dropped dead. There was more than 1 hacker, I'd vote something like 3. Couldn't see their names though because the server doesn't have tags :c Very irritating, gotta love it.

I run around 12-15 FPS in most areas in Chernarus, and I was wondering why we're not allowed to use any FPS Helper mods? With FPS helper, I normally jump to around 35-50 FPS in Chernarus, and it's LOVELY. I'm not sure how FPS helper could give an advantage, and I mention that because that's the only reason I could think that FPS helper would not be allowed... So this thread is asking a reason why we're not allowed to use it now, will be able to use it in the future, or are there any other mods or ways to improve FPS?

My thoughts exactly. ThrottleStop is an alternative if your PC did not already come with hardware clocking software.

So in other words you're saying that FPS Helper will never be allowed? Bummer... What about some suggestions on getting better FPS? I use Gamebooster, low settings & resolution, but I'm open to nearly any suggestions.

Sorry, that makes hardly any sense to me ._.
