So with local servers you mean servers in Australia? As "local" in computing means the server is on the same network :) There were some issues with multiple people playing from the same network. Did he clear all his filters? Could he reach the servers when connecting to them directly?

Seriously? You want a serious answer? Your "problems" are just the thing other people love about DayZ. There is nothing to explain. Yeah, people barricade, thus block entrances to defend themselves, there is nothing to look into. And people killing people, that's just how it works. So yeah, there is really nothing to say. And well, if Legacy responds like that, it IS just like that :P I would say Legacy is one of the better forum staff members around here. What did you expect that people would say, comment or ask when you opened the thread? You don't make any real point.

I sold my Winchester for 2 mountain dew once, and my nightvision for 6. Yeah, I couldn't see at night, but I did have my mountain dew!!!

1. I never said I buy Windows (I do for company reasons) 2. Yeah, so weird people buy the software they use several hours per day for years and years, but they do buy games they sometimes only play a few hours and then leave it collecting dust. So weird.

But if you make zombies only a tiny bit slower' date=' this will probably not change the problem enough. That can only be found out by experiment: I think we will see many different speeds the coming month. Please note that there are also many players who do not play in the cities. The situation should also hold for barns and small towns. true

I am not going to start this whole argument again. The game is built around security, not being entirely sure if someone is friendly beforehand. That’s why bandit skins were removed, and that’s why anything else helping you “know who you can trust” will probably not make it into the game. The point is, there is only ONE person in the position to determine if a feature is fit or not. He did not remove side chat for nothing: he did it for the exact purpose YOU want it back. I am just saying, don’t expect it. I just wanted to “motivate” you to clear out your point a little bit to come up with an alternative. Obviously your response is not very friendly, also you are ill-informed on Rocket his point of view on the game.

When people have 20 zombies behind them, this would just make those people camp and, if they don't see a way out, disconnect.

Warping is of course not on purpose and will be fixed eventually. However, slow zombies induces some problems. The lower the speed, the more zombies you need to impose a threat. Also, with the newest fix outrunning/hiding from zombies is doable. Random speed would be great!

Well, first off, since you say you never played the game, just play it?

Could you guys also provide concrete examples of situations where this is really neccesary? Also, please note that a "friendly server of regulars" can not be enforced. I don't really see how side chat can help with that to be honest, except for immersion breaking reasons.

thanks for that' date=' maybe just maybe my laptop could run arma 2 with dayz but id assume..not a chance :( [/quote'] Another option (however, feasibility is starting to suffer I guess) is to re-partition your harddrive and install a second windows 7. Then you get a dialogue at boot asking which version of windows 7 you want to play. So if your friends are offline, you reboot your PC, start your other Windows 7 and you can have fun!!!

It is not unrealistic, but the point is that we don’t always play when we are awake. This forces players to be online most of the time, since you can be attacked where-ever you are, and you cannot defend yourself against adversaries. Furthermore, there are some problems. I saw on the frontpage that around 75000 people play the game, and we have like 150 servers right now? That would mean that around 600 plays would be on a single server. Going from the alive characters, this would be 1800 players. Of course, the world is very large, but this induces some problems as it means that the servers do not have to grow depending on then-current active players, but on prospected players being alive. Also, it is quite hard to find a “safe” place, as people can warp around from other servers. The ONLY way I think this is possible is by binding players to servers, and the question is if this is desirable. Lastly, people will not be happy if they can't login for a day, effectively doubling the chance of them being killed. It does not add anything, I'd rather have some sleeping state for a few minutes after going to sleep, and then you vanish.

Maybe I had to make my point clear. I have yet to commit a murder, and if I did, I would not do it by backstabbing a party member of mine. The problem is, when you group up with someone, it is this notion of (dis)trust which makes the game so much more then the interaction you have with your teammates in "regular" games. I don't like backshooters at all, but simply saying they can't exist because of that is madness.

You can always ask in the threads or send a PM. Also, sometimes people ask to post solutions. Point is, your thread will be disappearing in a few hours because of all the new posts in other threads, so better take matter into your own hands!

Okay, then I will contact Apple that I have trouble running ArmA2 on Windows 7. While I'm at it, I will ask Apple to also take a look at my car and if they can fix my windshield. Also, how can you be offended? From what I read in your reply, you are not American, or at least very poor at writing in your own language.

I don't like it. It is again an artificial mechanic which fucks up play style. How can a bandit backstab someone, if he is forced to use this "friend"-system? Really, I also would like to see less PvP, but I would really, really hate this system. And please, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD stop saying stuff like "Don't tell me about realism in zombie survival anyway", because that's just bullshit, we don't have lasers and aliens and unicorns in it for a reason, and so we can miss other less-realistic elements as well. If you don't understand why that argument is invalid, you are ignorant. Rocket will never accept this mechanic.

That's the whole thing right? Somebody can kill everybody and then just change into a survivor and play together with people, or just keep on backstabbing people after winning their trust. That's what is so awesome about the game.

ITT: someone comes up with some calculations, using numbers which are not proven or explained and seem to be grasped from thin air, then proposes a team system, then people mock him for both his idea and his calculations, then he proposes a system for finding friends, people mock him again, so everyone has brain damage and is stupider then his morning slipper. I'm outta here!

I hope you mean for flying? Because yeah, flying with a gamepad is better than a keyboard. Or did you also run around and shoot with a 360 controller?

Now I'm not doubting your story, but I saw some threads yesterday about the same issues (killing someone, and they respawn with the same gear). I'm not sure if it's a bug or genuine hacking...
