mistery

Casually?! Maybe he is busy working to casually respond to everyone. Have a little patience. They are moving faster than developers on much bigger and monetized projects. Go outside for a while or play another game. Find a way to chill and check back every couple days.

Props to Rocket for not caving in under the torrent of whining here. Never had problems with bandits really. And if it happened, then wow big deal. Nobody lives forever. We are here to alphatest the shit out of this mod, not to cry for losing a pair of binoculars and a map. So our positions have to be reset every now and then for a cleanup. And maybe it just happens you spawn in the wrong place. Yeah, bad luck totally doesn't happen in real life. We can patch that shit out and make sure it doesn't happen again because elephants! I keep hearing about this teaming up on TS thing. Not sure what kind of alternate weapon it is but will have to try it out of curiosity. If anything, this mod might do with a few more zombies per house. PS: isn't it the norm in gaming that the "bad guys win"? I never commited murder btw. Avoiding contact is the way to go unless you are sure of their intentions and don't want to kill someone.

awesome, could not play all day with rolling updates and patches for patches. Have some tears.

Is there a way I can check how long my character was alive in hours? Game displays alive time in days but that also counts offline time so this is not very relevant.

Excellent initiative!

I think this would be bad for the feel and mood in DayZ. It's definetly a must have in other games. The dev team just needs to sort direct comms and that is enough in a zombie survival simulator methinks.

Option 2. Clean and simple. PS: Hoodies pls.

Just drop your weapons and play without one. Surviving zombies without a weapon is fun . You aren't going to take out the CZ sniper from the cities and towers with the enfield anyway :P.

The idea is probably that as a survivor constantly under the pressure of dying a horrible death by CZ bullet, zombie teeth, ladder fall or freezing to death coupled with walking a daily 15 kms puts a bit of a strain on your stomach. But yeah, eating needs in DayZ could be reduced. That said there is plenty of food and soda lying around in most towns.

I respect players that do this to help the community. It takes patience and commitment to do anything right. That said, I feel like too many games these days have all their aspects too well documented. There is a map, a guide, a how to for every ingame thing, mechanic or hurdle. It takes the magic out of finding something for yourself just because you decided to take a peek in one shack. Sure, people can choose just not to use these resources... but they are like huge SPOILER ALERT buttons on forums and we all know everyone just clicks those anyway.

Well this settles it! I will be sending you tears in mailbags every time I kill some dude not in a bandit outfit. But shit, just do it. This is the time to test things. Change it all. And mix things up. Thats why we are here in an Alpha isn't it? Oh and no polls please. I think you will get the big picture from the countless forum threads and hate mail. Keep fighting the good fight and bring us the stuff we need. We can have the stuff we deserve later. And I want a bat cape.

What is this flawed game mechanic? Anyone being able to shoot you was intended, no? CoD trolls are there to grief you in real life too. Wether it was a bully or something in school, a dickish teacher who never gave a shit about your studies just because you had one funny comment in class or your coworkers and even some peple you might know in real life. Douchebags are reality, not a flawed game mechanic. In the same way, some people are too weak to fight them back, some people choose not to fight them back and some people just declare all out war on their asses. You can see this everywhere even if it something as small as an office rivalry started by someone signing just himself on an email with collective ideas - more than once.

I picked up Arma II for this mod as well. I am quite afraid to start playing the originals because of how much of a time consuming endeavor that would be. But that is a different story :). The point is that the great dev team of this mod created an EXPERIMENT. It's not a finished product and it likely never will be. They have proven countless points however. Some of those is that yes there is a very large player base who enjoys good sandbox games and not being force fed their story, instead each one of them making up their own sotory in the game. Another point is that you can revitalise a game that has not seen major sales in 2 years to the point that it surpasses current AAA title sales. How awesome is that?! This game created WUB WUB hype without dubstep intros and trailers. There are many other fun things that this mod showed the gaming community. I am pretty sure some big industry heads are looking at DayZ with jaw supports in disbelief even in this moment. The best thing is, Arma 2 is still Arma 2 and Dayz is a mod. It could be a standalone but that is probably not the direction they are taking. Oh and I doubt BI looks at this and says, ok let's dumb down ARMA III to cater to carebears and CoD players. DayZ proves exactly that such a thing is not needed. Wait a while until the ingame chat system is sorted and only direct chat will be available. That will take the game to a new level without the omgzzzzz another CZ killer texts everywhere. Most importantly, keep in mind this is Alpha.

- Game purchase only (Guild Wars stylez)-This - Free to play, buy your shit? If that shit is comsetic only. No P2W please! Also: - Community developed or studio developed? Whatever keeps this game true to your initial vision without fundamental changes to game concept. - Community or studio servers? or both? Studio is best (but difficult with 1 time purchase). - Kickstarter? I hate that word. ProTip: Consider adding skins and other non game influencing stuff for moneyz. People love to stand out of the crowd.

Is there something that stops me from going all GTA on another's vehicle while they are grabbing groceries? An ignition key that you can take with you would be nice. Together with the option to hotwire cars :))

These people will probably attract most murderers just for the thrill. I'm certain they would love to get trophies too for killing a veteran.

This really depends on your system specs. Keep in mind that if you want to record videos with FRAPS or other programs, you will be hogging more resources. Start by running the game in your monitor native resolution. From there, you begin raising the detail levels until you see framerate drop. Then you start dialing the settings in selecting things that are important. A very very power hungry setting is shadows. Turning that up is very atmospheric but if you lack in the hardware department, you will lack in FPS. It's a question of you finding a setup that works well on your machine. This is part of the fun. Not many PCs have the exact same specs/drivers/number of viruses and trojans hogging resources so performance will vary a lot between machines.

Can I avoid this if I have a primary equipped? For some reason I can't holster secondaries, only primaries. Thx.
