It's cool that DayZ is being kept fresh with this new system, even if it isn't to your (or my) liking, however..... With being 'forced' to play PvP, won't that compromise your 'Humanity' ? - doesn't Rocket have secret future plans for 'Humanity' ? And the new Action System forces you risk not being able to take advantage of the future 'Humanity' related goodies. And if all that's stopping me from ALT-TABbing and hitting CLOSE in DZC, is a sarcastic system message on the server - what kind of deterrent is that ? Noone gives a monkey's if x number of complete strangers know you logged out. And given that it can't detect between a lost connection / power cut and ALT-TAB, CLOSE, EVERYONE affected will just say "I lost my connection" and there will be so many of these people that the Admins won't know who is a liar and who is being honest. If an Admin chose to ban everyone regardless then there's 5,000 other servers to play on anyway.

You're a CHEATING SCUMBAG !! 257 zombie kills and not a SINGLE MILLILITRE OF BLOOD LOST, plus you have enough hi-tech weaponry to give even Ted Nugent a major boner ! Even a God damned Laser Rangefinder ! I say again - YOU CHEATING, CHEATING, SCUMBAG !! Here's to Battleye canning your IP.

Yeah yeah kiddies, it's school holidays now now fuck off.

Has anyone else come to the point with the Mod where you are wondering what the point of playing anymore is ? You've got the swanky kit and serious firepower, you've visited all the sites of major interest on the map. And when you've done that then the risk of getting killed and losing everything outweighs the urge to carry on playing. But then what if you don't feel like that ? Does the Mod just become another FPS Deathmatch where folks shoot each other ? What ? What is there to do ? There is no longer any purpose. The Mod for me can now be summed up as RUNNING AROUND THE WOODS LOOKING FOR PEPSI. There must must must be much more to the mooted standalone version when it finally arrives.

This was 'fixed' (for me) when Battleye updated itself a couple of days ago, and now Battleye has changed some other shit with all that global banning malarchy and now we can't connect again. I just went to Battleye website and downloaded it - and despite the in game Battleye telling me that it was up to date, the DLL I downloaded was 7 MONTHS newer than the one in my folder !!! It still didn't fix the problem. Battleye is the cause of all this again, no doubt.

You should try removing your Dad's cock from your mouth. You're exactly the kind of needledick douche bag the guy was talking about.

Now that it has been announced that the game will become standalone, something HAS to be done to solve the problem of players who shoot other players. There comes a point - usually when you have managed to find good weapons yourself - when you are needlessly murdered by a dickhead and you lose the lot, that you think to yourself "What is the point of playing this ? There's no purpose to this game. I have to start all over again with nothing !". As a standalone, I wouldn't spend money on something that has no point and has no long term gameplay. Also. as a standalone game, DayZ stands to be murdered by WarZ - which REWARDS PLAYERS WITH XP TO LEVEL UP, and has real trading etc. DayZ has NOTHING. To fix the murderer problem which is killing the MOD, I suggest..... * If you murder a player then Zombies will become x percent more able to seek you out. AND/OR * When you murder a player, the FADE aiming feature will kick in making it EXTREMELY DIFFICULT for the murderer to aim his/her weapon for x minutes. * Make it impossible for a player to shoot his/her weapon at another player WHOSE WEAPON IS LOWERED. OF COURSE, WE ALSO NEED A LEVELLING SYSTEM WITH XP - SOMETHING TO CREATE A PURPOSE AND A REASON TO KEEP COMING BACK.

I can.

I paid Hong Kong prices for my non-steam Arma 2 AO back in the day - equivalent of 80 UK pounds, so there's no way I am lining BIS pockets even more. Especially not until they create a proper gaming experience with a purpose, and deal with the murderer problem.

All this talk of 'authenticity' - it's a God damn game, and it's supposed to be FUN - for EVERYONE. If it's authentic, why can't I break a plank off of a fence and use it as a weapon ? Or climb a tree ? Let's add the need to piss and shit too. And when I get hungry why can't I eat my shit, and drink the said piss when I am thirsty. Heck, let's add special 'Dance Party' key presses to time our breathing too !! IT'S A GAME !!

The game WILL change this, it HAS to else it will die when it becomes a paid game. The head in the sand, sarcastic, dinosaur, old school mentality that this thread has attracted means jack compared to the requirements of making the game as accessible as possible to THE MASSES (and I don't meed the zombie hordes). It's maximum revenue full steam ahead, and all this old school BS will die with it.

You need XP and levelling up and a trading system too - like WarZ. Also, proper punishments for murdering - zombies are x percent better able to seek out a murderer, weapons won't aim properly for x minutes (ala FADE), or you cannot shoot someone with a lowered weapon. This will be a PROPER GAME now, so you can't cater for hardcore tastes only, the game has to be accessible to EVERYONE. Also, there should be NO PENALTIES for playing 'Lone Wolf'. I have no friends obviously, but if I did, I wouldn't want to be wandering around a post apocalyptic world listening to their inane blather over my headphones - it breaks the immersion.

The same problem exists for alot of NON-STEAM users too (from searching this section of the forum), so a sticky would be cool - not as cool as a fix though.

The only time I have managed to play the mod was the time after I installed it. Now when I launch (latest beta version of OA) via 6 Launcher or DayZ Commander, it goes through the first loading bar with no problems, then when it comes to the 2nd loading bar (the one that says 'LOADING') it just stays at this screen (presumably) forever - I have only waited 15 mins. Was there a corruption in the 'save' file in my initial game that means the game can't load ? If so, how do I get around this insurmountable problem ?

BUMP

Bump (hopefully not going to get an Admin warning for too many bumps, but you never know)

I'm surprised there's no sticky about this.

BUMP

Me too, same problem. I was wondering if our 'save' games got corrupted somehow ? I hope someone has a fix.
