When you change to ghillie suits you become a "sniper" or a BLUFOR unit and thats why the dot is green. I bet camo clothing is the same if a BLUFOR template is used.

These are not a Day Z feature. ARMA has had it for years to replicate peripheral vision as stated before. I don't know if it is easy to remove or make an optional feature but I can assure you its not something Rocket implemented for this Mod. It was developed under normal ARMA gameplay concepts, not post-apocalyptic mods. For instance hunting, gutting and cooking goats was never intended when ARMA was developed.

A power grid that can be secured and restored for periods of time. - Secured means a system that isnt easy to kill so campers cant just keep the grid down non-stop. Something like a battery charge system and once a battery is hooked into the grid it has 10-15min of use that is undisturbed. Could also use gas cans in generators under the same principle. ACRE or something similar where environment and distance / frequency affects radio use. Require batteries or power sources like a small solar charger unit. The ability to become infected or diseased by "Stage Two Contact" STC disease is from being around the dead too long etc. but is curable unlike the Stage One Contact that the zombies have. CROWS! Rocket had a good idea that people shot down. Crows follow people that give them fresh food and or kills. Crows do not pick at zombies. Environmental factors that require teamwork such as military structures or research labs that can only be entered when security lockdowns are circumvented. Those methods would require 3 or more people to work in unison. NO GENERIC MMO TEMPLATES for grouping. Putting a bazilion zombies at a barracks is just a numbers game and is a weak method for promoting teamwork.

Im sorry but this post made me laugh. Respawn abuse totally screwed you man, sorry.

I always try to hide. If they appear to have seen me I shoot them and run.

The largest map in any game ever is the racing game FUEL. If they used that platform to create the world and added more cities it would be absolutely gigantic.

Charging for Standalone is a bunch of bull. Charging for ARMA 2 is a bunch of bull. Charging bulls are a bunch of bull. Everything should be free and Rocket should live off the same can of beans the rest of his life so I don't have to pay for anything.

Maybe you could cry more and put a river in your picture.

Really? Nothing else has been. I'm not bashing the patches I'm just sayin' that pretty much everything introduced has bugs or balance issues. I guess dogs will be perfect.

I am not the same person if you meant me. ( Spelling is different ) I was simply responding to your post. As you can see I have posted the HPD Academy and SWAT details numbers that I called looking for Tersidre's offers. Nobody knows what he is talking about and he wont offer information on his class number, contacts or schedules.

So what option do you suggest that is profitable for them? I mean they need to eat and they are a business so saying they should make DayZ standalone for free is pretty much something they can't do. DayZ is a mod, not a full game so Im not sure I follow what the alternative to having a standalone is. Jut keep using this buggy unstable mod? Or make it stable and bug free without charging anything more than the base price for an outdated game. Iron Front is a standalone game based off the BI ARMA engine but it makes more sense to focus on that type of game and make the changes there than play a buggy player made version.

Well it depends on how you read the statement from Rocket. The "this year, early alpha" part tells me that there will be an early alpha this year and not a complete game. Also later on he states that they need to "have something" this year which also indicates to me that they plan to have something out and moderately playable, but not a finished product. Of course it can also be read as a complete game, done and released in under 5 months. That just seems odd to me given BI's reputation for not releasing chopped up half complete games.

Not as funny as original post.

thats hilarious

Yes. C'mon really, you didnt know this?

There's no way this thread will survive until they announce a standalone version of DayZ. Now way that will happen. Nope. Not a chance in... wait... what?

I play this on my PC with an Xbox 360 controller. Isnt that pretty much the same thing as having it on a console?

Well that makes sense. At least with only three people you can run back to your corpse easy enough.

Personally I think the server hopping is just as bad as combat logging. If you want items go look for them, tought it out like a Survivor. Dont magically teleport around like a scared Bandit ninja.

How do you know it was the same guy?

This. It counts as long as you are alive, even if you don't log in.

Dude stop complaining.

Dude I killed Static in one shot from a makarov as he flew over in a Huey. He obviously ain't no hacka.

Well just provide the information. HPD course number, instructor and location/contact person. As I said, I called the HPD directly and they don't know anything about survival classes offered to the public. Odd since your class is huge for a survival course. If you are reaching out to the community then give information the community can use.

I am in Houston and incidentally dont report back to Ft Hood until next week. First we have to make an appointment because if you "stop in" the academy they send you to go make an appointment. Second who do ask for? If you are indeed an educator there that provides "free to the public" education then you are allowed to provide your name. I know that since McClelland brought it up a while back in the Citizen's Police Academy statements. The number for the Academy at HPD is: 281 230-2300 but nobody there can offer information on a survival tactical instuctor or classes. We need more information from you on what to ask for. Maybe other forum members can check in and have better luck. SWAT details number is 713 646 3930 and I assume you havent chosen your people yet because the are unaware of this survival course. Legally you will have to offer simunition safety training prior to allowing and civilian onto the training area since sim rounds will be live. Luckily I am a Simunition Range Program instructor and can already attend your training if you are willing to provide a method to contact you, such as your name, course name an number and minimum safety protocols. You Said: I disgust you? I think your taking things a bit too seriously here and i openly invite any civilian to actually attend my classes if your ever in the houston texas area drop by the police academy and ask about survival classes. They are free to the public (within limited reason) and I will show you what actual survival might be like. Speaking of which I am actually looking to do a field simulation of a survival situation. I am picking a team of 5 of my best students to go "live" in the woods near the academy for a week and to survive. They will be able to bring food and water and such but are only going to be armed with sim rounds. What they dont know is that im also selected 5 SWAT team members to go and "steal their beans" who are also going to be armed with sim rounds. If anyone is in the houston area in the next three days they should stop by the academy and ask about it I might be able to find a place for them.
