Are you actually talking abou tthe DayZ Mod at all? Because we are a modification for an already existing game and we're limited in what we can do.

There are a few threads out there advertising "true vanilla mod gameplay", I will have to find those. I will also look into another idea how to promote actual DayZ.

Rightclick your ARMA 2 and ARMA 2 Operation Arrowhead on Steam and go to Properties. In the window that opens, press the Tab named "Local Files" and then "Verify Integrity of Game Cache". Also reinstall any / all mods you have. Make sure that your firewall allows both BattlEye as well as ARMA 2 OA to work properly. Also - the message you're being kicked with would be nice (might require a second person already playing on the server to relay this information to us when you're being kicked, as it's possible you won't get a message).

I usually play on US Servers, as everyone can join those. Australians, Americans, EU-folks - it's the nice middleground. Even a constant ping of 180 is fine. You can usually assume for both ARMA as well as DayZ that a ping of 200 is still playable.

I see loads of more articles on that website and I don't really understand where he's aiming at, which is why a specific link would be nice.

Please do elaborate and post a link to what you're talking about, as at the moment it's just a link to some website.

What a poor and sad life that must have been.

This one paragraph alone shows me that you haven't even read this thread. I have talked about this already and explained that we're not receiving any money for this and that we're part of the community ourselves, originating from the Mod, which didn't make any money anyway (actually, we as volunteers spent a lot of money on website and servers back when it was a mod without ever getting anything back.) We are no employees, especially noone's secretary. I do not owe you anything, you didn't pay me anything, you're not my customer. I have no obligation to even talk to you, nor do I have to do this in a professional manner and you have no right whatsoever to stay in this Forum just because you bought the product - as this is a community Forum and we can kick you out whenever we want to. This is actually what I will do right now, verbally warn you and kick you out of this thread, as it is clear that you are one of those people I have already been talking about in this thread and the fact that you didn't even read the thread and merely came in here to spout out your random lies about the game-development doesn't feel like you're taking any of this seriously nor that you are even interested in the game. You just want to cause troubles. You now have the chance to leave without troubles. Take this chance.

63, 78 would be the first coordinate 40, 116 would be the second coordinateYou take the coordinates, divide them by 100 and have the map-position. The 200 is most likely the compass-orientation (ranges from 0 to 360) Even thought you're most likely taking this from a vehicle, trying to track that?

Why, thank you. I love you, too. The reason these comments towards us as staff in this Forum usually arise is coming from the fact, that the people expect us to be paid for what we're doing here, because we're around so often. This might come as a shock to you - but we're not. We're not getting anything for this and merely doing it because we once were just like everyone else and stood out due to our involvement on a voluntary basis as well as the thought we were putting in our post. Might also be the reason why not many are Forum Staff these days, as thoughtful posts are getting rarer and rarer. Back to the topic, however - and this might be where I was misunderstood with me copying what Brian posted on the Steam Forum and stickied it (though I actually had a reason for it): We are currently not in a state of the game where you can expect everything to be perfect. Everything's being mashed into the game and bugs are being fixed as everyone's going along. Some of the biggest bugs are atleast attempted to be fixed, though this is not the main concern of this stage. As soon as the Beta hits and we're going in the next stage, we will see a lot of improvements and I personally do not understand anyone that says there are some white knights about yelling "Alpha" at everyone. They might be and they might be rude in their doing (which is punishable through us as well, if they're being too rude about it - just remember to report it to us) - but they're still right and this is where we cycle back to what I posted earlier: We are still in Alpha and anyone pointing this out again to others is correctThose "others" tend to forget that we are in Alpha and what it is forWe do not expect huge fixes in this current stage nor is anyone focusing on it (as advertised, though)I personally wouldn't do it any different, as there's literally 0 point in fixing bugs that I know will be broken with the next patch anyway when I introduce a different featureAnyone that knows more than their average "I Have Been On The DayZ Forum And A Lot Of People Say The Devs Are Shit"-attitude knows the above is true, as:You can't start fixing an environment that is currently being developed and stripped and changed Now, if you have a problem with me as a Moderator, then contact boneboys about it, as he's the bane of us Moderators and strictly punishing us for misbehaviour. If you have a personal problem with me, however, contact me personally in a PM. Though I sound grumpy, I usually am not - I am just German. Related to this you might want to take a look at this, as it explains a little more.

Contact BE, don't shout at us for being banned. EDIT: Ninja'd by Bones. :(

Have you tried rightclicking them at all?!

I am a cynic as well and this cynic now tells everyone: there are people being hired from this money it takes for these people to find their spots in the team it also takes time for them to get affiliated with their work we already see the money being spent well and we see the results of this Anything else the trolls spout out are just straight lies and they know it. Anyone that can read more than 5 words in the DevBlogs knows those are lies. I actually do like where this discussion is going and there is no need to derail it this way - as so many people in this community have proven that this discussion can be a good and supportive one. But if the random lies of Bohemia shutting DayZ down will continue, actions will be taken against this.

Bloodbagging to get humanity is out the window, as there aren't enough bloodbags anymore to do this. Everyone's a different bloodtype and there aren't enough transfusionkits to be worth the humanitygain anymore. They're worth quite a lot these days and I don't see anyone gaining loads of humanity as a normal person just through bloodbagging anyone. And supplying with the wrong bloodtype doesn't give you + humanity.

This is not about the DayZ-Mod. Make sure to double-check the section you're posting in. There is also no reason for these kind of insults, so stop it.

Very well thought through, Bullet-Catcher. What I meant to say and didn't quite come out correctly: having a whole variety of skins isn't too hard to do if you have a 3D-Modeler. We can use existing skins, mix them, add Backpack-Proxies and have proper skins. This does not the whole humanity-system will be gone - but the current system definitely needs a revamp.

I will contact Jimmy for you and make sure he responds back, as this is his stomping ground.

I personally would like to have a bigger variety of skins, so that people can chose what they're wearing instead of being uniformly dressed as Bandits / Heroes.

Considering that was the spawn for when we were testing and this seems to be some sort of debug-spawn I would definitely say he's not incorrect. It can always be some weird glitch and I personally couldn't think of a reason why anyone would want to teleport you there.

Actually, any car that is being sold these days isn't going through the tests they used to - simply because it's easier to repair 200,000 breaks on broken down cars instead testing it properly in the first place. The "Alpha-Release" concept isn't only a thing in the games-industry, it happens to car-manufacturers as well.

If we would we would by called hypocrites again and have even more people yelling at us... Especially as I don't mind the discussion going on in here for once. Keep it calm and steady and this thread shall remain. I think everyone around here but you has heard of deadlines and actually knows how to read. The plan was to not even be near Beta at this point in time and at the earliest at around end of the year (which is atleast 3-4 months from now). So - deadlines are there and they're still atleast one quarter away. We're going to use the term "Alpha" as long as it's an Alpha. As that's what it is. Now, if you will, go back to your girlfriend / psychologist / mother / priest and yell at them when they are finally going to stop calling "cheese" by what it is.
