Can you find Gordon Freeman's Hazard Suit? Sounds like you need one to survive. I'm also wondering if fighting infections will be any more fun than in the real world. Can't wait for the next flu to prepare for SA! Can you use gasoline or other flammables to get rid of corpses? Maybe KOS and burning mofo's rotten corpses without touching their loot will be considered a hero-like playstyle.

What's up with that? Over a million this week. Can this be only due to the new patch finally reporting correctly or is it anything else?

Just don't get over expecting what SA will do. It will be an alpha. That means 'work in progress'. The focus will be in solidifying the product quality and stability. Then the cool stuff will be added gradually. So keep cool and give it some time!

Vultures over dead bodies would be nice.

Arma2 and DayZ profit from fast I/O speeds.

You should run everything on an SSD if you can. With 64 Gig this will NOT be possible. I have an 128 GB SSD with Win7, Arma2 CO and DayZ and a few minor programs installed and I have only 50 GB left. I'm already over 64 GB if you noticed with nothing big installed but Arma2 with 16.7 GB. Of course you can install other programs on you regular HDD, but won't have much of the speed advantage of the SSD when starting or running these....and that advantage is massive. You will never want any spinning disks if you once tasted something like an SSD!

Sorry Bro, but not that smart. Having the OS on a SSD will improve boot times and startup of ANY programm A LOT! If you don't install your OS on the SSD you could as well rip it out of your system.

The system is pretty good. However I would upgrade that SSD to at least 128 GB. 64 Gigs is a bit low for Win7. FPS in DayZ oftenly depend on the server and it's load. So no guarantee there that FPS won't go down in certain situations.

So then they would be killed with a reason.

For DayZ you should get something with a SSD and the fastes CPU you can afford. "Dedicated Graphics Card" does not provide enough information. It should be really decent one to play any sort of 3D game.

Get DayZ Commander and update.

For Arma2-based games CPU and SSD. For any other game video card.

The guy with the bandit skin could have gotten it by just defending himself or others. The whole skin changing thing is rather stupid and should be abandoned.

You can't talk to some random dudes on the server in TeamSpeak.

The community does not have to make it. Rocket is right now.

An optional nametag without the distance displayed and only working maybe up to 50 meters would be nice. Maybe it could be working only with players you've seen before and marked as recognized. Would be more plausible than peripheral dots, at least for servers with low skill settings.

Nothing new and not entertaining.

I drop it for an axe anytime. Hopefully the new one will be useful.

>is about starting Arma >realizes there's a beaner right in front

That's called practice.

I never heard of any regulations of medieval melee weapons. Not even here in Germany where gun laws are very strict. I agree on beeing them rare and not really necessary. Implementing them would only be about diversity.

The long runs of boringness give you a much higher kick when you finally get into action. Ever got ambushed while running through a forest? Makes you pumping with adrenaline in an instant. In regular shooter games you start with a weapon get in a firefight within 30 seconds to the point where you don't care anymore about being shot at. In DayZ even seeing another player in the distance gets you excited. Silence makes you value sounds more.

You have to if they go to Cherno, Elektro or if they move their eyebrow. ^^

Every survivor is a threat or a loot pile. If he is not yet, he is striving to get one by picking up all my loot I didn't come to pick up yet. So better dispatch him now. It's like keeping vermin population down. Just to make it clear, I personally don't shoot beaners off the coast or other weaklings as long as they don't ask for it by annoying me. I just elaborated the mind of a KoS-anybody-bandit.

Just don't play 5+ hours a day and you'll be fine for a long time.
