"Bullsh*t, you can be mine." - Maverick, Top Gun

Actually, that came up during an interview-- I believe it was the TotalBuscuit interview. Rocket stated he had only killed 1 individual in cold blood since he began DayZ. Again, if memory serves... I may be wrong on which interview because I'm getting old but it was one of the recent ones.

Hellvern. Watch this video. It's of a guy walking you through right after he spawns in with a fresh survivor. He begins with no gun since it's a current tutorial vid and shows you what he does to deal with the zeds while gearing up in a major city. Give it a look. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiz9208kRLg&feature=player_embedded

What pastebin link, mate? Wouldn't mind seeing it myself.

Hope nothing serious. Good luck and look forward to seeing ya soon.

Not everyone, sir. It's just that the civilized path can become too steep for some -- especially in times of great crisis. For others, they will overcome any challenge in order to maintain their integrity and honor. Perhaps that is or is part of the experiment?

Sounds like you're missing the beta patch. Either manually download and install beta patch from http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php or obtain a loader utility such as Six Launcher http://www.six-updater.net/p/download.html or Dayzcommander http://www.dayzcommander.com/ and have it take care of things like that for you. Be sure to read the New Player stickies-- it covers just about all the questions you've been asking.

*rummage* *rummage* *rummage* Ah there's my satchel charge. *wide eyed and grinning*

Hell I'm also concerned about "Well, what the hell did this do the authenticity of the main product." Perhaps time to do some lurking on the Arma 2 forums and see what the milsim blokes think.

Fantastic.

I was SO there with ya on that one. Had the image in my head and everything. Damn it, I need to find a buddy willing to create a "Kenny" profile and always be on point duty.

You would put it at 4. You have 4 CPU cores which support Hyperthreading- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper-threading That's why it reports itself as 8. However, it's my understanding that Arma 2 has been patched up so that specifying this information is no longer necessary and is autodetected.

Give this video a watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiz9208kRLg&feature=player_embedded Be sure to use headphones the flaw of this video is the voice over is too quiet but if you can sort out your soundmixer (turn off 3d effects, etc) you can hear him well enough, and it's a quick starter. Especially because it shows you HOW to avoid the infected after you've been spotted.

It took the Wild West many years to overcome it's moniker. The law still came.

Well look at it this way-- with the nerf to many weapons, especially sidearms, you're going to need all that ammo now. Long live spray and pray?

Gamma warrior who plays at night-- I have an easier time gathering supplies. Still haven't sorted out how to get through a town during the day unscathed. Probably because I need to be much more aggressive, gather stuff up, and use the buildings as my weapons vs. Zs. This will become more and more possible as I memorize which building models are interactive and have 2 exits

I suppose it's possible. I mean how old is that Cuban boy that stole America's heart now... 18...19?

*chuckle* I didn't understand the relationship between his quoting you and that vid either but I still got a good laugh out of it because it's a good flick. 'course I'm dumber than a bag a' hammers so... vOv

I disagree. After all, the world was not "born" civilized yet here we are.

Yep, I'd read more.

Small thing to add. One thing to try is different servers. Individual servers can adversely affect your frame rates. For instance, few days ago, I logged into a server and got... 6 frames per second (FRAPS). Que the raised eyebrow - Rig was an I7-4Ghz 12GB Win64Bit GTX580 SLI rig. I changed servers and fps went back to normal locked & steady 60 (I run with Adaptive Vsync). Regards, Chan

Except that last one -- a pioneer of his kind. :rolleyes:

1. if it´s a fps, with zombies in the mix? It's a survival sim with zombies. 2. Cause apperantly (sp?) there is perma death in game There is perma-death. After death, you respawn with your starting gear. 3. So what can you actually do during this time? Obtain key learnings that you apply to your next survivor pushing your survival time upwards and accomplishing more. 4. If you collect part for vehicles etc they are all lost, and you start from scratch? Yes, since you're dead. Could always try to find your body and get the stuff if it hasn't been looted. ;) 5. So what draws you guys back into the game time after time when you´ve died? I accomplish more after each death. The feeling of improvement is palpable. I become increasingly able to formulate plans and execute them successfully. 6. And is there anything like "guild" ingame, and how does that work if the leaders etc die? There are clans, yes, as well as "lone wolfs." If a leader dies, they respawn with a starter pack and work to link up with their mates. Larger clans may have obtained transportation to speed that process. 7. And I do need both Arma II and Arma II: Operation Arrowhead right? Yes 8. Also, can I join in at once if I get it Yes

Oh that guy... I know exactly who he is.

A newbie question regarding the map. I've obtained it a number of times on different survivors. Now in the many youtube videos I've watched when other players bring up their map they have a pretty blue dot that showed them where they were. I, however, never do. My map is just a map with a "good luck finding where you are." Is there something special I need to do to make that happen? With that said, it's still been a fun meta-game to do it manually all this time but after two weeks, I'm beginning to feel shafted ;)
