Agreed. This is pretty bad. Please allow Australian hosted servers to have a realistic day/night schedule for us.

We have asked Vilayer to implement this in their fork specifically for this reason. When a hacker kills 8 people in one hit you can then SEE who it was, rather than hoping their are not hacking with a tool that hides their activity from the logs.

Remove temporarily until we can resolve annoyances with it. I see almost zero use aside from trolls pissing off other players with it.

ViLayer have managed it. They have a private Hive with tons of servers on where they have fixed the Tent and Vehicle issues. They don't work for BI, they are not the creators of DayZ. So tell us again what is so hard about it again? I personally believe they have diverted 98% focus on the Standalone game and have left the mod to rot. That's fine... But don't expect the players who made this game popular in the first place (your early adopter market and initial round one revenue stream for the stand alone) get very pissed and start to walk away.

My 2 cents on this one as a long time user of the L85A2 AWS as a backup to an M4-SD/AS-50 combo. Having the thermal scope mounted on ANY weapon is too much of an advantage in DayZ. It should be a seperate observation scope that can be used instead of Binocuars or the Vector Rangefinder. Then the player is forced to either team up with a sniper and play the intended role of sniper support/spotter OR switch to a primary weapon to fire. Also worth noting that the AWS is a FICTIONAL sight system that incorporates two very different sight systems that currently cant be mounted together on a L85A2 and certainly dont appear in any hybrid model. Frankly if they have this in the game they may as well have jet packs and hover boards. In response to the question of effective range of the thermal scope. The model depicted in the game as part of this made up "AWS" is the Qioptic VIPIR-2 which has an effective range of 1200m. The more powerful sniper system variant the SVIPIR-2+ is effective upto 1500m. Incidentally, we are seeing 4-5 players a day join our servers with "found" AS-50 TWS. Getting to become a joke and something we plan on policing much more seriously in the coming days/weeks.

No. Move on.

Of the M9 and Glock, I'd take the Glock. Only because the ammo is more plentiful in the game and it has a tactical light. Of all sidearms in the game I disagree with most here. I would always go for the PDW. It accepts mags from almost all other handguns bar the .45's (1911 and Revolver) The M9 SD is a dream come true specifically for crash site raids but sadly the ammo is as rare as hens teeth. Use until you can get a PDW.

Great idea. Anything that grows the DayZ fan base and heaps riches on the Rocket man. You deserve success mate. Plus, it will get the kids off my back so that I don't have to share my PC Version!

Primary: L85A2, SVD Camo (minimal clips) Secondary: M9 SD Full Toolbelt, NVG, Rangerfinder, Morphine, 2 Water Bottles

Sorry to say but the Graphical Glitches are still there on mine and several of our groups. This is running very latest beta and full Torrent version of 1.7.2.5. Flush doesn't resolve it. No change from my perspective :( Also everyone who was playing earlier in my group (8-10 guys) when the Hive seemed to go down all got their locations reset to the coast when they next logged in. I had to run 7Km back to the location :o

Not anymore mate ;)

I firmly believe that the Chernarus theatre is based in the Georgia/Chechnya region. Nowhere near France. The FAMAS was first produced in the early 70's and has been the primary long arm of the French Army since the late 70's. It's not a "new" rifle. Fabrique Nationale (FN) is Belgian company based in Herstal. The FN Minimi (5.56mm) is found in the game under its US M249 Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW) designation. It is also used extensively in the British armed forces under the BAF L108A1 designation. Either of these could account for finding the weapon system in this game. The FN MAG (7.62mm) is also found in the game in its US M240B designations, as well as the FN LWMG in its Mk.48 Mod 0 SOCOM variant. I would prefer to see time spent on the inventory system than adding more weapons. This isn't a Call of Duty DLC pack.

HUD Waypoint markers are available on Vetern servers by default. The beginner servers show your position and heading on the map and don't display any waypoints you set. GPS are unrealistically extremely rare. In fact, I'm a DayZ addict and I have NEVER found one that was not in a tent or on a bandit body. I believe that either the waypoint should remain or GPS become more prevalent.

I'm my experience the survivor audible range is 3-4 times that of the Zed range in those tables.

I'm sorry but this conversation is simply painful to read. It's like listening to primary school children arguing about the relative pros/cons of Pokemon. Yes, you can build a great gaming PC (probably two) for the price of a MBP Retina. Yes, the MBP Retina will run DayZ although not as fast as a dedicated gaming desktop/laptop Yes, a lot of people like Mac's. Yes, a lot of people hate Apple. No, this argument will never end. Move on.

Hi Mr Rocket Sir, Request: Implement the ability to purchase different accounts under the same copy of DayZ Standalone I am an older gamer and self confessed DayZ addict. I have purchased three copies of ARMA2 through Steam to allow myself and my two boys to be able to play our own characters on the same PC. We can't afford to have three separate PCs capable of playing ARMA2, let alone ARMA3, so having the ability to purchase and switch between logic accounts is something that I know a lot of people will require. The current workarounds of setting up multiple Steam accounts, exporting and then reimporting registry tree nodes to switch CD Keys is not very pretty and well beyond the range of some people. Not doing so will cause young boys to cry, so you know what you have to do. Go on, I'll give my beans Sir. APE

I thing you're missing my point. I don't want to play with them, they're crap (love you boys, but you could hit a barn with a truck). They just love playing DayZ. It's about them being able to play their own public character on the public hive. I am more than happy to pay per account, as I am now, an more than happy to again multi times for the standalone version. I would just like the ability to do it on the same machine without having to result to highly technical workarounds. There is nothing insidious here and people will work out how to do it. Besides, more accounts = more My Little Pony toys for Rocket and BI. It's a win/win.

+2 Rare as hens teeth.

Found 4 in 2 days. You need to spend time hunting for Crash Sites ;-)

What can I say, they like Zombies! Also less swearing than COD.. :-)

If you find out let me know. I'd much rather have Black-Hot or White-Hot.

Why anyone would want to do that is beyond me. Bandits harassing noobs on the other hand.. That's what my L85A2 is for ;-)

No worries, makes sense now. Nothing wrong with being bi-curious about your weapon systems ;-) It's how we learn what's useful to our playing styles... and everyone plays differently :-) I gave up a spare ACOG for a SAW from a crash site just yesterday, would have jumped at the M4 SD APE

If you found one early on, with it's low recoil, low audible signature, great range and scope, plentiful ammo. It woud be great as an intermediate weapon system. However, wanting to switch from an M4 SD down to the ACOG is odd. With that M4 you could take any cash site with ease. Slip in, do your business, cap 1-2 Zeds who get curious along the way, job done son. You walk away with AS-50, NVG, Mk 48, etc...

Why? I'd give you two M16A2 ACOG for an M4 SD. Have you used the ACOG? Yeah that variant looks very cool, but you have two very different weapons there. One is perfect for silent CQ (crash sites) the other with its non-variable x4 ACOG and 800m zero is only really good for longer range 500m-800m engagements. I'd stick with the M4 SD and head up North, get yourself a bigger pack and load up with an M107 or AS-50 from a crash site. APE
