How about make allow players to choose spawn or at least the vicinity. Iam all up for making the game as hard as possible but the team play should be promoted a bit more and respawn is being used as players who wanna play together are just not willing to spend 30 minutes in game running to meat their mates, hence the constant respawning. The location of the spaws should be rearranged and allow player something like: Spawn at close vicinity to: Cherno ( spawns at costal line from Balota to Cherno) Elektro ( spawns at costal line from Kamyshovo to Elektro ) Berezino ( spawns at costal line from Nizhonoye to Berezino ) optionally Stary Sobor ( spawns from Vyshnoye to Stay Sobor) If possible when spawning server should always spawn you not in vicinity of previously spawned player. Check map here: http://avidblur.com/arma2/ With out of the game map being used I would also suggest the map loot because more common ( maybe even lootable from zombies )

It should be 90 seconds timer, so everyone would make sure to DC on "safe" spot. The way how to handle it: When someone want to disconnect trough menu his character SIT's on the floor and 90 seconds timer starts, if you do not move your character after 90 it gets disconnected. In case character moved or was attacked the timer resets. While siting you have the option to quit game but your character is registered on server for the rest of the timer. In case you alt+f4 or kill arma2 client your character stays behind for 90 seconds. With such feature no more escaping and reseting zobmies or avoiding PvP with ALT+F4. It would also in some way prevent constant respawning to get on a better location.

Why such complicated process ? Here you have NORMAL manual process that works for me and 20+ of my friends, we all use the SAME procesdude and some have Arma 2 free some Arma 2 retail. STEAM INSTALLATION 1) Download both ARMA 2 and ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead through Steam. 2) Run the game once before proceeding. 3) Download DayZ Mod files. http://armafiles.info/dayz/ 4) Make a folder named "@DayZ" in your Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead directory. 5) Inside "@DayZ" folder create another folder named "Addons". It should look like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\@DayZ\Addons 6) Unpack all DayZ Mod files in the "Addons" folder. 7) Download and install beta patch from http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php (Latest patch is in the green field top of page) 8) Add Arma2AO.exe beta as steam shortcut Make a new non-steam shortcut, choose Browse then point it to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe The box will close so then choose Add Selected Programs button in the steam add programs box. Find the shortcut you just made in your Steam library, right click and choose properties. Rename the steam shortcut to Dayz or Arma2 OA BETA. Press target line and delete the target line and copy paste the following: ( edit paths if you have different installation folder ) "c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe" "-beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion" "-mod=c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2;Expansion;ca;@dayz" -nosplash skipIntro -cpuCount=4 -world=empty Once you're done making sure that the pathways are correct you paste that into the target line in the steam options of the shortcut, all of it. Delete the Start In line and replace it with this. (edit this if you have a different installation location) "c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\" Quote: ARMA 2 FREE + OA Copy folder Addons from \arma2 free\Addons to \arma 2 operation arrowhead\Addons Target line: "c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe" "-beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion" "-mod=c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 free;Expansion;ca;@dayz" -nosplash p.s. If you have Arma 2 retail and AO Steam make sure you change target line path.

this + original looks way better

I hoped that zombies would hit you when they run after you. Its still to easy to escape them.

Is there a way to modify it for more slots ? p.s. Iam running with with dayz mod enabled without problems.

Is it possible for players with Arma 2 free and the ones that bought it to play together on same server ? I see there are two different versions and Arma 2 free one is 1.3 while the other one is 1.4

Few suggestions for debug monitor Please consider adding new info's SURVIVED: ( number of days/hours/minutes character survived .. ingame time ) TRAVELED: ( number of kilometers character traveled ) SERVER: ( server name ) Source: http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1584 Removing info As we have Blood & Tempreture icon's those should be removed from Debug Monitor. Show info/numbers on Icons If its possible add the info numbers by hoovering or clicking on : Temp, Blood, Water, Food. Edit: If not then maybe just add numbers bellow icons. Changing the Debug Monitor UI: Instead of having vertical windows we could have all info on top of the screen in horizontal fashion without any background. example: KILLS Zombies/Headshots: xxx/xxx Murderers/Bandits:xxx/xxx | Survived:20h 32mins TRAVELED:33,4 km | Zombies:xxx | Server: xxxxxxxxx p.s. Please dont go offtopic, only post ideas for debug monitor. Ifyou like suggestions post /approve or /disaprove if you don't.

3€ per month

Updated with SERVER NAME

Please consider removing miltary type of vheicles and as well all air one's as helicopter. ( repairable ones ) We could use bikes and motorbikes but in general it would be great if we just stick with the ones available bellow: http://www.arma2.com/arma-2-vehicles/chernarussian-civilian-vehicles_en.html + Few of the boats. http://www.arma2.com/arma-2-vehicles/ships-and-boats_en.html Due huge distances it would be nice if motorbikes are added ( and not rare), they should be very loud but highely available.

I hope we will get bikes and motorbikes :)

Assuming you are from EU ( primary play time 19:00 till 23:59 CET ) and you are mature feel free to drop by on our team speak 3. Details in my sig. www.futilez.com

You can get it for 29€ now: http://store.steampowered.com/agecheck/sub/8701

I prefer the one with effects

Part 2 will be ready soon :) p.s. Till then check out Promotional one in my sig

Its possible but then this would become more of a game and less of surviving simulation.

lol Decap ... I told you to make sure that TS voice is removed.

Why would you even care ? On disconnect character should stay ingame for additional 2 to 5 minutes so everyone should make sure they log off at "safe" spot.
