It's an SSD. Best upgrade ever! Especially for Arma2 and related.

Survival is boring. I don't understand people staying far off any other players. After basic gearing up the fun part of DayZ is player interaction. Either playing with them or shooting their faces. If you die, so what? Just starts the looting part again which is fun too. Btw, zombie spawning and behaviour is completely redone in standalone. Rocket said so.

I give a damn about lifetime and Zombiekills. I don't give a damn about dying ingame. If I had fun, it was worth it. Living without having fun...what it probably is if you never die...has no point.

We played a couple of nights ago on that server, I think it was Tuesday night, and encountered at least one hacker who killed some of us a couple of times but also took me aboard his helicopter. Got him on Video too. Everything else was ok though. I think the server restarts often so vehicle spawns are often equipped. The last two nights we've been on that server too an everything was fine.

DayZ-Commander is awesome! Use it! Right top there's a button "versions". There you update.

Exploding cars are almost as stupid as smoke grenades knocking down entire houses. Hope the standalone won't be that ridiculus.

Install DayZ-Commander. Go to "versions" on the upper right. Update. Enjoy! Don't Alt-F4 or try to server hop!

My language of choice is Russian...AK-74 bullets. Pretty much universal.

It is. "Not a game" is outside your door.

The mechanics are already there with shaking gun and everything. They're just to weak.

No. This is no RPG! Either you aquire those skills for real or not. No stupid skill level table with experience points! Don't make this game into dice rolling!

That is just part of the map and you can't use it. You'll find plenty of hatchets in barns and industrial areas. You'll recognize them by their distinctive red color.

You guys have a non-argument here. @Staatsfeind They're a group who set themselves up a nice little role play. That's how you enjoy games. That's exactly the kind of stuff Rocket encourages people to do. And hence you like to harass playerkillers and hoarders yourself you should see that you guys actually are on the same side. @regulators I think the "problem" here is just that your demo-video isn't all that impressive compared to your little speech and nobody likes posers. Now back to the beans. Enjoy your role playing. Both sides. ^^

You dumb.

Prologue We're a bunch of guy just playing as a group for the first time last thursday night. Me and two others meet at the NWAF. It was like 22:30 on the server and almost dark with good moonlight. Low pop (less than 10 other players). As we wander down to Stary Sobor suddenly I notice a bus parking on the north side of the well known Stary Sobor Sniper Hill. I am alerted and wanted to check the area for the owner but one of my mates isn't that concerned an just jumps in the bus which is in good enough condition to drive. So we just jump on board too and drive off awaiting the retribution of whoever parked it there but nobody seemed to care. We drive around randomly for a while, just enjoying ourselves as it's the first time any of us ever drove a vehicle in DayZ when some other mates come online, mostly spawning at the southern coast somewhere. So we drive down to pick them up. At Cherno the headcount is six. We decide to get medical supplies at Elektro hospital by just driving in front of it and filling up the bus. Then the guy we picked up last starts Fraps... Language is German. There wasn't said anything important though. ^^ Part 1 to 3 nothing special happens. We just maraud Chernarus more or less randomly, picking up car parts and stuff and celebrating our luck. Then we go up north to Stary Sobor military camp and loot that. The guy Fraps'ing leaves his character in the bus an goes to have a leak and make a cigarette run while some of the other guys notice some broke down cars right at the camp und manage to fix one of it. So we had a red Lada or something too. While they celebrate I notice another bus right in the middle of the hill next to the camp. I check it out and it's fully functional. That's when our Fraps-guy comes back from his piss break an can't believe what has happened while turning his back on us for five minutes. :) That is when part 4 starts...and we got ourselves a convoy... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAPRrdgYU7o Disclaimer: None of us knows how to hack and spawn stuff. We just figured those vehicles probably have been spawned by some hacker who just didn't care much about them and there would be no harm in enjoying this experience. In the process we lost the red car (just vanished, disconnecting the two drivers) and the first bus (got stuck in some roadblock). We tried to hide the last remaining bus but did that lazily due to the fact that it was 4:30 in the morning and some of us had to go to work in a couple of hours. Of course it was gone as we later checked.

They get headshots. All of them.

I support your motion. Ladder climbing is annoyingly bad implemented.

Yesterday...well it was night... got a Zed aggroed while prone. Saw him running and was wondering who he's after...well it was me. Absolutely random. Lost half my blood in the process and was annoyed. While prone you are almost invisible to Zeds. Even in daylight. They walk right past you without aggro. Usually.

You'd have to watch where you go prone.

It is not plausible to have creatures spawning out of thin air in a supposedly realistic environment. For me it's annoying to have a group of Zeds spawning at deer stand when coming close. So every experienced player in vicinity is aware that somebody is sneaking around this place. It would be more plausible to have group of them constantly circling that place. You kill off some and after a few minutes they get replaced. Would make more sense and favor sneakiness as well as making it possible to clear out an area for some time.

He didn't say he needed. He just did.

Like in real life. Show them your big gun.

You have a full HD version of that? Or maybe one with more boobs? ^^

I have now 8 Gigs. An additional 16 GB (identical to what already is in my box) would cost €87,-. Arma2-Folder has 16,7 GB size. 17 GB RAMdisk would be enough. Still 7 GB for the system, which is plenty. My SSD has write speed of 500 MB/s, so that would be around 34 seconds. I'm tempted to do it just for the kicks but cost probably outweighs the benefit. But still want to know how much performance gain could be expected? Any idea? A good guess maybe?

When somebody stood in front of you asking you if you're gonna shot him or not, you picked the appropriate channel first? My troops weren't that sophisticated. We just talked to each other. Quite oldschool. I know.
