okay, so this is basically a buggier taviana with custom vehicle skins. the npc island is cool and all, but the time i made it there, i found one dead npc and the rest of the island was empty. pretty anticlimactic if you ask me.

Just curious if you know which providers are offering this for server rental. Don't have a box I can dedicate to it, but would love to drop the coin to host one.

just don't sacrifice stable and logical gameplay for the sake of this mission, rocket. some hud elements probably will be necessary, using sound bytes isn't all that much better than relying on an icon for the stuff that just doesn't make sense (such as thirst).

Memory hacks are incredibly easy to detect, so I wouldn't worry too much. Hopefully they have a dedicated software engineer working on this kind of stuff.

Missed the "No, it has some good ideas but also falls flat on its face" option

That sure was a long winded way of saying nothing. I get that you don't want to get ahead of yourself here, but as the window you provided us with has passed without a word, it might be nice to get some sort of idea. 2013, sure, that sounds great. But are we looking at the next few months? Maybe longer? Even an answer that isn't really definitive would be nice by now. I love the mod, but as time passes with zero notification, I'm getting less excited for standalone, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Especially given the state of the mod, and the fact that chernarus (even if it is modified/improved) can only contain so much fun.

Most people tend to get banned from individual servers, not the entire game, when they do stuff like pick up a hacked weapon. You'll only face trouble if you use an actual cheat program. But honestly, I think you did the right thing going for Arma 2 now. DayZ is honestly not even the best thing this mod has to offer. Stuff like wasteland offer an interesting look into what military shooters should be (screw all that COD, BF nonsense), and there are even more mods that get into the survival/sim aspects. And I think you'll go a bit farther in standalone having experienced the mod in a rougher form.

I think this has to do with security permissions, and I think your name is the login name for your windows login. For instance, I can edit my main profile at home, no problem, because I have the max security permissions on my login at home. But at work, I can't, and my name is tied to my windows login name. I would try making sure your permissions are set to the max and see if it'll let you change the name.

Default vehicle load out, or no? bean me if it's not default (just so I know you responded), you can unbean it later.

Commander is typically pretty quick to pick up the updates, Taviana seems a bit different due to the hosting differences. Probably won't take too much longer, if it doesn't have it already.

Namalsk, Panthera, and of course Lingor (my personal favorite). Taviana is great, if you find a server with a lot of vehicles, otherwise you'll spend 99% of the time walking, and you had better hope you don't pick the wrong direction, otherwise you'll just starve to death. Celle is also pretty cool, but suffers from the same issue of don't go the wrong way.

I'd say just sell your computer and pick up a nasty drug habit or something. Whatever keeps your kind out of wonderful games like this. You'll probably get the same kind of instant gratification as you would from cheating, since that is apparently what you're after.

That's about how much I would keep, too. What you got seems about perfect. Include 2 bandages and the rest sidearm ammo, and you should be good to go.

kid! you need to upload more bro! it's been a while! hit me up and lets rock some namalsk or some shit!

I've even seen servers that are friendly only. They'll ban you for killing any players. Naturally, I join those servers and get banned pretty quickly.
