I dont think that is accurate. I believe that the SA will be less demanding in its vanilla state, but I believe that is to make way for things of importance/significance like OOP ie. Attachments, durability etc. While the SA will be optimized, I dont think saying "It's gonna be better so people can run it" is accurate. I may be wrong but I am sure I am not.

If i make the WhiteBandits...am I racist?

I lvoe when I hop in a Domination server, it's night time, a few people at spawn, then you hear BOOM! and see a flash. Some nub flying Arma vehicles. Love that Postcard BTW.

Fuck that. DayZ for 5 DayZ? I would eventually smash my KB or punch my monitor. I couldnt even watch my favorite movie for that long, let alone play DayZ. The thought of that is so absurd lol. Nothing against DayZ of course...

I would say yes. However my yes means that it was actually a hacker. Not some nub that is server hopping or just actually randomly spawned in on you. Saying he was chasing you while using "what soudned like a shotgun but much faster" makes me wonder if it indeed was just a lucky coincidence. Oh well, better safe than sorry(as long as it doesn't become a habit :) )

Lol have some beanz for the lulz at the end of your point :)

Do it. Make this game a bitch to play. You wanted it for people with balls, that was a great design idea. Do it!

Now we can make use of icon colors in the server browser. Currently high pop(or high avg. pop) is Green, Medium is Yellow and, Graveyard'd servers(I see what I did there) are Red. Something like that. Something, anything that doesn't say "Hey I am full and you will most likely lose your 39 day char" or "Hey I'm so dead you could run butt naked through Cherno to Elektro" Maybe this would discourage randoms from renting servers. Sure I don't want a lack of servers, but there are sooooooooooooo many useless servers being rented ATM. TBH DayZ is a game I wouldn't mind the Devs/Publisher hosting and patrolling(so long as they admins/etc are super active). Darwinism at it's finest. Let the strong survive and the shiittys die out. I have no gripes with that.

Railgun is for fucking nubs. Zero bullet deviation. It's some loser bandits dream to just sit on buildings with it. LAME. Never ever ever ever should have even been part of DZ:Namalsk. Should have been removed from the start. I wonder if servers disable it via configs or not. inb4umadbro - No actually I don't play Namalsk(tried it and it looked amazingly epic however) i just am against a weapon that is strictly trollolol status. Even Germans don't need hax when they have the railgun :P ;) I kid but still. Railgun is shite.

Yea. I'm not going to sit here and say "ZOMG I have never used 3rd person", we all have done it at least once. Sure it's great to stop yourself from falling into a trap, or vice versa. However it really REALLY ruins the immersion, and that's what I thought this was originally intended to be. I get why 3rdP is in it, because of Arma2 but as its own Standalone I really hope there's more of a bias against using 3rdP. Nothing is more lame than some hilltop sniper using 3rd Person, double tapping -(numpad) and just spinning in circles looking for people to shoot. Sure its easier to land a chopper etc in 3rd person, but come on...as I(and Rocket) have said. This game is meant to be real, scary, and above all, emotional. The best stories I read on these forums aren't "LOL 3rdP sniping bambis for 3 hours. lol ysosrs?" Hell the brief version of my fav Dayz Mem was playing at night, using flares, seeing someone in the distance using flares creeping up to ambush me, only to go past me while I threw flares at them to expose them in a field. Then a van drove by beeping. That shit is fun...and more realistic, and I still want to talk about and experience it to this day.

I kinda like the idea. I assume DZ:SA will be on Steam,(may have read that somewhere but not sure) so if you have friends you can probably just join that way. Personally not knowing who or what is in the server is kinda cool. I'm pretty positive Rocket and co want to minimize or eliminate the HUD which is also a good idea IMO. Personally I think he should just go all out. Get rid of 3rd person, eliminate most(if not all) HUD. Inventory is fine as a menu because well if you had a backpack or something on the ground you can see it so its obviously there. I don't know how many liters/pints of blood I have in my body(well the avg for humans is about 10.5pints/5 liters) so i don't really want a health icon blinking when I'm low. Passing out/blurred vision/speed decrease will do just fine. Sickness/disease can also be represented without using an icon. Sight/sound too sholdnt be an issue. If the in game sound is up to par, it should be pretty obvious that you are move visible/audible running in a street, as opposed to crawling at night next to a fence in the grass. I hope he goes more hardcore with the standalone TBH> From day one he said DayZ was a game for people with the stones to play it. As it progressed however I personally feel he may have veered(but not far) of course. He needs to take back the mentality of "My way or the highway" IMO. I just hope he wants to make it a super hardcore survival game.

Jesus it's about time. Glad everyone gets to go back to their lives. Now get back on Chernarus+ STAT!! just kidding ;)

Simple solution could be make your dead body last for X amt of mins/hours but only view-able to everyone but the felled survivor. Non-intrusive. Everyone wins, except for the person who has died and quite honestly, they should be punished for a death, not merely inconvenienced.

I agree. DayZ isnt the only fucking mod for Arma 2. There are some really amazing ones out there. I spent a good 3 hours on a Domination server the other day in an A-10 just raping enemies. Super fun. Ended up with an airforce on our hands. Proof: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=120248518 If you want to buy Arma for only DayZ..yes, wait for the Standalone. If you want a "game" that comes with an amazing mod then get Arma 2 Combined Operations(Arma 2 and Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead) and play it. Seriously the A-10 is so fucking badass on max volume. SO much fun!

Playing at home? In public? Wifi? Hard wired? DMZ/Open ports on router? Cable/DSL/Fiber? Firewall exceptions? Only DayZ?

K 4chan scrub I think translated hes saying the repetitiveness of the same buildings etc is lame. He also must not know that you can actually repair and use cars. Furthermore hes basically naming ideas that will eventually be in the standalone. Regardless hes right but his dumb post is ultimately nullified by his ignorance, and promises for the DayZ SA.

Isnt there already a face in options with Camouflage on it?

My guess is open A2:OA and enable the mod. When I play Namalsk is in expansions but not enabled. Some serious shit goes down with Dayz/DZC and A2. Cant explain it. Think Matt Lightfoot is disconnecting things secretly when no one is looking. FWIW -=- Earlier I couldnt play A2 mods(not fuckign DayZ) beause a filter i usually use <100ping made every game disappear. Try clearing a filter to Default until results are found, then edit it to your preferences. It worked for me....but that was an OA MOD. EDIT -=- I am hammered and cant type but my suggestion remains valid. IS DAYZC UP TO DATE? MANUALLY UPDATE A2OA REINSTALL MODS REMOVE MODS then REINSTALL THEM(via C:Prog/Steam/Common/A2) etc. Remove that shit then reinstall!

Mustache Rides? Should be a Donate Option. I'd buy that! 15USD.

Yea dont shoot me neither. I am super nice, hell I even rebound my salute and surrender keys. If you KOS I will haunt your weapon for the remainder of your life. Im the sexy guy with Oakleys BTW, so leave me the fuck alone! B) wait i mean... >:(

I agree but wouldnt waste my money on a server. It would be nice if there were a few server out there that disallowed KOS and PKs. It might actually be fun except for one thing... The Zed in this game are shit. We all know it. It's impossible to be killed by them unless you make a fatal mistake or are just an idiot(or I guess a defenseless new spawn or some new player). If they actually proved to be a challenge people might actually consider being less douchy. If there was a way to increase the numbers of Zed to a ridiculous amount then I could see this being a real possibility. Personally the only money I am going to spen don DayZ anytiime soon is for the Standalone, which ATM is rumored to be about 18 euro/25 USD.

Public Hive = Server with persistent stats and inventory across ALL servers that run on the Public Hive Private Hive = Server that hosts its own database results for stats and inventory. These private hives differ from SERVER TO SERVER. Say server X,Y,Z are Public Hive servers. Your weapons, items and stats will remain the same regardless of which server you choose. Now server A,B,C are Private Hive servers. Playing on server A will only save your stats etc on server A. Going to server B will make it appear that you are "Starting over". Same thing if you went to server C. EDIT: Granted there are Private hives that are connected like Timmy said. Condsider them to be servers Da Db Dc and they act like Public Hive servers, but only within their own Private Hive group. I hope that helps clarify a bit. Use the "Favorite Server" option on DayZCommander to keep tabs on your favorite servers.

Sergey...is that you? :P

http://balotabuddies.net/ They have some good private hives and whitelisted servers. US, UK and AUS i believe.

lolol
