It's already done, they went with the first option with the animation. The instant swap isn't right for DayZ IMO.

It would be easier to just use an 'always on' mic broadcast rather than push to talk.

I'm not sure how heli crashes will work or if servers will even need to be restarted in the standalone. I'm not too keen on the masses of dead people idea in the OP, but I would like to see some heli crash alternatives... Maybe crashed ambulances with med supplies, crashed police cars with weapons/radios/etc.

I'm not really too fussed about more weapons and stuff being added. This I strongly agree with though!

The devs said that they would be keeping the same forums. My theory is that the current DayZGame.com is just a placeholder to stop anyone else from taking the URL, which will be revamped and the forums moved over there when the time comes. That's just my personal speculation though. Nothing confirmed.

I have to agree. The first time I opened my bag it scared the crap out of me! It's a really nice touch. It's just a bit... loud, lol.

It's Summer Overture by Clint Mansell from the Requiem For A Dream soundtrack. It's a very famous piece of music.

Yeah, it got mixed reactions. A lot of people loved it, a few said it was their least favourite part of 1.8. I think allowing server owners to disable it was a good call. Are there any EU test servers? I've been playing on BMRF, but I get 220 ping. :(

The CPU is really slow and it doesn't have a graphics card. That laptop is not meant for gaming, in fact I'm surprised that you haven't fried it yet. You have a graphics card, the OP does not. He's running on integrated graphics. Not playing on that machine he won't.

You should have more than enough time to shoot them between the player starting to stand up and them being ready to shoot. :S

Indeed, the bans are issued by BattlEye and effective on ArmA 2: Operation Arrowhead. It's nothing to do with us. Locked.

Yeah, it'll run but I'd recommend saving up for a new GPU as soon as possible. Looks like a decent rig otherwise and most of the power will be wasted. :(

Yes, all new Intel CPUs will be using the new socket now. The 3570k would be fine for a good few years though, especially if you're overclocking. I think upgrading your graphics card is the more pressing matter for your system as the 6850 will bottleneck an Ivy Bridge or Haswell CPU at this point.

Last night I saw someone popping flares in Kamenka so, knowing that something mildly amusing was inevitable, I followed him down the road through Komorovo and watched him get destroyed by zombies. xD I saw him bleating for help in side chat today so I missioned it all the way to Cherno and helped him out with a blood transfusion and some painkillers though... And then he got killed by a bandit camping the hospital roof 30 seconds later...

Any kind of barn, Winnies, machetes, food and drink. I can't get enough. Also, I just found an M14 AIM in a red roofed barn in the 1.8 test server. LOL WUT?

Well I'm not 100% sure at this point. When you're hit by a zombie you have a 1% chance of getting sepsis. You then have 15 minutes to use an antibacterial wipe or it takes full effect in a similar way that 'infection' did. I'm not sure if 'infection' still exists through drinking unclean water, eating raw meat or blood transfusions. Hopefully someone else can clear this up...

Derpwashed. Can we try and stay on the topic of recruitment, please.

Played for a good 4 hours or so and I'm absolutely loving it! From what I saw in side chat so is everyone else, so I think it'll be pretty well received. I get 220 ping with it being a US server, but I don't think I'll be able to go back to 1.7.7.1 now, I'll probably play on the BMRF test server until release. Zombies feel like a real threat now, but in a much more authentic way than infection provided in 1.7.7. The drop rate on the wipes is good, relatively common but they aren't all over the place. Also, I love the new UI and inventory system. I'm not sure if it's an intended feature, but you're able to swap the mellee weapon in the 'carrying' slot for a second primary though. That needs to be looked at if it's not intended. The mod's starting to feel much more like a game in it's own right than an ArmA 2 mod now. Really great job. :thumbsup:

It is. Use the startup parameter -nopause, it does exactly what you're looking for.

Have you thought about making the blood depletion a tad slower and upping antibiotic drop rates slightly? Maybe half the current rate or something would give players more of a fighting chance.

Thanks mate. Found it on my own right as you posted though. xD Downloading now... Excited to try it out, everything looks really good. :)

I was just gonna jump on the BMRF test server but their download link appears to be broken... http://bmrf.me/dayz-1-8-test-server-live/ Anyone got one that works? :) Nevermind, I found it... http://bmrf.me/vbforums/showthread.php?9440-DayZ-1-8-Test-Server-LIVE!-%28current-version-1-8-C%29

Ah, okay. That makes sense. :) What about 'infection' through water, raw meat, blood transfusions and temperature? Is that still a feature?

How does one cure sepsis? Also, will 'infection' in it's current state exist in 1.8?

Actually, I'm finding that infection really adds to the game. I've been infected for the past three days and we've been roving around the map checking the hospitals for antibiotics and blood bags, and hunting animals to keep my blood levels up. It's been quite challenging at times and it's given us an objective other than find lootZ. Of course, if you take the easy way out and just kill yourself and go back for your gear then it will seem boring.
