Bandit Hunter

Helicopter will be shot down. Wreck will be looted. NPC traders helmet will become a status symbol for bandit tribe.

Gotta get creative. milkshake frosted pound cakes were pretty good. And the beefaroni was almost currency at times. But yeah' date=' MRE's would be an awesome addition to the game. Maybe on par with cooked meat food and blood wise? [/quote'] Why, why, why do I always get veggie burger... :huh:

Well, you can change back afterwards if nothing goes wrong, and you may as well wear it while you have it, in my opinion.

Is this a new error since 1.6.0.1?

To handle the error messages, try redownloading (manually) all the patch files. It is a hassle, but has worked well for others, in my experience. The waiting for server response message is simply a fact of life in Alpha, give it 10-15 minuets before giving up, you will likely get in. Also, be advised a new hotfix is coming tomorrow, you may want to wait until than to redownload files.

Ok so it is a social experiment... This would of been much more fun if it was intended for RP instead of a "Social Experiment" Let me solve the riddle for this experiment right now. If you put a gun in the avg. players hands and have a boring enemy and no rules he will shoot other players because they are the only challenge and have the best supplies even though he might not need them. You may believe it would be more fun your way, just as many people would rather have features they would personally enjoy. There are no tailor-made game, not in 2012. This is Rocket's mod, we are just blessed with the ability to play it. He sets the rules. If you don't like them, there is little you can do, other than suggest improvements in the forum, or stop playing. Again, I have met MANY friendly players in DayZ. Maybe its the hours/servers I play on, but I have successfully teamed up with, traded with, and talked with FAR more players than I have even engaged in gun battles. Perhaps you have had a run of bad luck. Give it some more time, or find another RP more suited to your taste.

There's a suggestion to this exact tune that was posted earlier in the suggestion forum. His idea was far different than yours, and yours would be much easier to implement than his, without frying the games engine. Ask to have this moved to the suggestion forum/merged with the other topic for discussion.

I have not been in since the new update, waiting for FPS hotfix. From what i've heard so far, you're skin is a loot item. When you place one skin on, the other sits in your inventory. The only lootable item is the skin in the inventory. Not sure if it carries over after death, I doubt it.

Tip: Don't even touch the mouse until you're very comfortable flying with the keyboard. I've been playing ARMA for over a year, and this is the number one tip most new pilots in my group we're given. The mouse is great for gun runs in an attack helicopter, but causes inexperienced pilots to eat dirt. Edit: Open up the editor and place a helicopter on a map, rather than trying to push through missions. Much easier.

The feeling is priceless, that's whats holding 95,000 players here. Good summed up post.

This mod is not at all about RP. It has been stated by the developer that is more of a social experiment than a game. If the players decide to create this fabled "deathmatch" environment that everyone seems to be talking about, that is how it will be. The creator will not limit any group in any way to "force" anyone in any direction. Other ARMA RP mods do it better, because they are intended to be RP mods. Edit: I should not say its "not at all" about RP. It can be about RP if you want it to be.. but there is no requirement that other players need to RP with you.

Zeds ARE dangerous, in my humble opinion. People who think they are not dangerous probably disconnect as soon as they're aggro is activated.

One, you can already lower your rifle. Click left control twice. Two, you can already salute. Click \ in game. Three, add your suggestions in the suggestion forum Long story short, its an ALPHA. You're going to find hitches in the game design, frequently. The "deathmatch" thing is way over exaggerated. I've met more friendlies than baddies, period. This game can produce some of the best morality-stretching moments in any game, ever. It can produce some of the most exiting emergent gameplay, ever. Its not about the "deathmatch" thing. Enough of it.

In fact, you will have to update once more tomorrow, as a hot fix is likely on the way. It will become more stable in time.

It is the debug forest. I do not know the technical reason for its existence.

Right now, not very reliable, as it is nearly impossible to place them. (tents)

Servers are not cleaning up after themselves again, says the word on the street. Fix coming.

115% for MRE's. I'd love to see them. Not sure if Eastern European countries are using MRE's right now, its pretty unlikely, but i'm sure they have something similar. The rest of the suggestion is unrealistic and can't be justified in any way, no matter how rare.. maybe the citizens of Chernarus we're big on twinkies, but even than they'd just slow you down with high sugar/calories. I haven't seen zombie land.

I think we'll see zombies spawning in the forest in time. It has been discussed for a while. I personally would rather see angry, hungry wild animals in the woods, to flippy flop the experience a bit.

Sure. I truly don't know how a modern day hunting crossbow would operate with carved wooden bolts in real life, but i'll suspend my disbelief in the name of a good suggestion.

I found another folded up piece of paper in my pocket. It has a vote on it.

Have you seen this post by the developer in this very thread? 1. Go to bathroom 2. Check whether you have a penis or a vagina 3. Select gender in game according to results 4. If you have a gender identity disorder' date=' choose whichever one you feel most. [/quote'] I have seen it. And again, you have to cater to the majorady to a certain degree. Try thinking about the majorady, being selfish is not the way success in game design. I bring up my point again, why can I change race, not only when I respawn, but with the same character who hasn't even died, so I could be white, black, asian, etc. all in the same life. (not to mention the zombie faces Which kinda break down the whole "look at your gender" argument to begin with, noones a zombie, but can pick a zombie face) Say a female chooses female, but then, as this forum shows, gets hounded for her gender and feels uncomfortable? Now she is not allowed to change genders to play the game comfortably, she just has to deal with the hounding or quit the game? This is a common issue in many games across the internet, and hence why many women will play as men. Being selfish is not the way to be. Thinking about everyone, every possibility, that is what one should do. My main point is that this should be a character thing, once per character, but it should not be an account based thing to where you get a choice once every 30 dollars. That is it. What the fuck is a 'majorady'? Spielburg, in as simple terms as I can put: You did not pay a dime for Rocket's mod, and he is under NO obligation to cater to anyone but himself. Every one of us DayZ players just happens to be allowed to enjoy HIS mod, and we're playing it his way. The only way you can try and change anything, is through the suggestions forum.

There is an email request set up at the moment, for those with this specific problem. Its somewhere in the Announcements forum, under the 1.6.0.1 topic.
