Cleaned. Let's leave the politics where they belong.

Let's remain on topic and avoid the personal attacks. Thanks.

You are free to host your own machine with your own connection and use the files provided via steam to host your own DayZ server. No one is forcing you to purchase a server from an server provider.

Why is it always DOOM when a guy progresses in his career?

So I was hiking behind my house when I saw Rocket for the second time. He is totally slacking and seemed to have gone full caveman. I could only grab a quick shot of him with my 2003 cellphone before he ran off into the woods but I figured I'd share. Bonus picture from Rezzed.

Cleaned. Any suggestion of duping as some sort of legit form of playing because of X or Y will be cleaned. Don't make me steak you.

Sinistok. It's generally my last stop before I hit the dirt square at the NW edge of the map for a suicide (an old tradition I've had throughout the many builds).

Let's remain on topic please.

If you know of a potentially game breaking exploit, please report it to the feedback tracker and mark it to private. DO NOT post about it here or hint at what it could be. Thank you.

Maybe I missed it but where did the devs say SurvivorGameZ would be part of 1.0?

Please do not spread false information. Hicks was not fired.

In like Flynn.

Your base will remain the server you built it on.

People have asked for this since the mod without considering the negative impacts this would have.

I play all sorts of games but I won't waste my time playing a survival game without freelook or eye zoom. I can certainly play a game made of nothing but blocks or even a game in a tiny arena but I wouldn't be happy if DayZ became something like that. Since someone else mentioned the change increasing the need to use of binos and optics, yes, I use them too as they are far more effective than eye zoom but the ability to scan your surroundings with a bit more detail still helps. Unless binocs become super common this change for whatever technical reason will lead to less interaction and more KOS. I for one am far more likely to let someone carry on about their way if I don't already have them zeroed in with my crosshairs on center mass. (btw, i loathe this new forum software.. yuck.. where's my raw post so I can properly multiquote?)

Here's my problem, I never stare in one direction for very long. I play like a paranoid bunny with freelook because you never know when some a-hole pops up behind you over the ridge. This is probably a behavior I learned in the mod when hackers would pop up behind you but it is what it is and has saved me even in the SA.

The combat looked really smooth at the end of the video otherwise. Someone else pointed out the range and fire mode being in the center of the screen near the crosshairs, kudos for that for damn sure.

Oh, and I've not read, heard, or seen anything about leaning. That too is required in my humble opinion. I can't even imagine playing this game without either of those features. (not being a hater, I'm a hardcore fan but.. the fact there's even a discussion on the dev level about not including the eye zoom worries me)

This is counterproductive. I use the eye zoom for much more than fights. In fact use it to AVOID fights. I use it literally ALL the time. The solution above is simply not a solution. Now if we want to just look at something with a greater zoom in order to determine what it is we'll need to raise our weapons AND aim down the sites? A raised weapon is an indicator of hostile intentions and needing to ADS just to see if what you saw was a player or something interesting is going to lead to more KOS and even more fumbling with keys to accomplish simple acts that many of us have been using for 5 years. Eye zoom is a requirement for this game. There is no way around it.

Willing to help on the Public Hive but my availability fluctuates. I'll stock up on medical supplies and go full Hawkeye on it. Standalone only (I keep running into closed doors on the mod). US and EU servers possible.

yeah.. that's generally what body armor does.. it absorbs the impact. Kevlar is a weave and is not something reused after serving its purpose.

The content displayed as "unread content" should be the content viewed when a user clicks "Activity". "Unread Content" should be more specialized to the user., their groups, friends, etc. I suggest this now before mods or beta arrives and the tab most visible to users shows only a long stream of beans given. Edit: edit timer should also be removed or reduced.

How much of a difference is there between designing A2/A3 maps to desinging a map for DayZ/Enfusion? Are the file formats and tools different enough to warrant current map designers to abandon their works entirely or should they carry on?

The quality of the structure and door should obviously impact the ability to break through it. That said, 2 hits, or 20, or even 200, it will be broken into. Magic safes and buildings should be for mods, not for hardcore vanilla. Traps should definitely be supported though. Traps should not be some preset location where a smart player could look into a building from another window to determine if it is safe. That fancy advanced placement should be used with shotgun tripwires and such to allow creative challenges. I'm also still a fan of removing a plank in any house to make a stash that doesn't have a change in texture for the removable plank. I'd be happy to bury a single gun with mag under a bed in any of the smaller houses with wooden floors. If not added to vanilla, this will be one of my mods. Oh, and as for hackers, that stash should not show up locally in client unless you're practically on top of it.
