I liked what they did with The Last Stand Union City where you got a form to fill out at the beginning of the game asking what you did before the apocalypse... But I don't like the idea of started with something because you chose that profession, everyone will just choose to spawn as an army private.

A standalone is DayZ by itself, its not a mod so you won't need ArmA II CO to play it. ArmA II is a great game by itsef, I wouldn't think you've wasted money.

Wow, heres someone who is pretty smart! Anyone who hacks deserves to be banned.

I agree with it as long as it isn't set out like a shitty spy movie. They would have to be in appropriate places and should only go where ventilation ducts need to, they shouldn't be set out with people walking through them in mind.

Anyone else read the title as 'New DayZ high school shooters?'

How about we stick with the casual multiplayer game and scavenge for supplies and kill each other rather than following a quest? Also what happens when you 'beat DayZ'? Does the server shut down? The infection stopped, so whats the point in continuing? Not a good idea.

The only DLC I would like to see would be things like new maps, more locations etc. not a storyline like Fallout where you purify the place and stop the infection.

Not really, 70% of the game is getting killed by assholes, 20% is looting, 10% is teaming up with people and playing together.

NO. No. Also no. I don't want to 'win' DayZ. It should stay as it is.

But you're still starting with a headstart. No from me, sorry.

Isn't that a letter some fucked up serial killer wrote?

I met a guy at the Balota apartment (?) he pointed a shotgun at me, but didn't shoot, then we teamed up and traversed the coast for a while, then we lost each other, then I found him. Then he died, then I logged off. Shame there isn't more friendly people like him. Its just too easy to be a bandit, I hope theres something to counter it in the SA.

NPCs?

Feeling lonely out there in the apocalypse? Well not any more! There would be a 50% chance of a dog spawning in a home, (obviously near the dog kennels) and a 50% chance of spawning in the wilderness. All you have to do is make sure you have a piece of meat in your inventory. You can feed the dog and it will follow you around. Dogs shouldn't 'fetch' anything, but they should be able to attack zombies, but have a risk of getting infected and turning on you. They also could bark randomly, which could set off zombies or alert other players to your position. The dog could also bark / growl if the are players nearby, and sniff along the ground in the direction of them. Dogs also need to kept healthy, so they will have the same temperature, hunger etc effects as you. Hunger: Whimpering, sniffing on the ground Cold: Shivering Pain: Shaking, whimpering, blood patches, leg lifted up Wet: Doing that thing dogs do when they're wet, I don't know what its called. You know, shaking back and forth. They could also get their own food by eating dead players, wildlife and zombies at risk of infection or drinking from oceans, rivers, ponds and the swamp that is seen in the SA, although at the risk of infection. When you die the dog will linger around your corpse, until its killed or someone else finds it. Thanks

I'm sitting in maths right now. I think I'll be fine with the SA. I never really used many of the exploits anyway, apart from the bush-hiding.

No offence, but every time someone brings something up about a server or something like that, you always seem to promote yours?

*sigh* I thought you posted in the can you run it? thread. Don't you trust the people who answered you?

No. I don't want to be set in a position where my character is sad just because I haven't found anything. Bad idea.

No, it won't. Whats the point in spending ~$1000 on a laptop that will struggle and choke at <30 frames on low / normal, when you can spend the equivilent amount on a desktop that will run the game on high at 50FPS? OP, unless you live in a box or a car, I'm sure you can find a little bit of room for a tower, monitor, keyboard and mouse.

Desktop Desktop Desktop. That laptop costs about $900, and I'm buying a desktop thats about 597 times better and about the same price. Intergrated graphics suck for gaming, and the processor will be too slow unless you boost it.

*sob* *sob* The STICKIES. Use the STICKIES please. STICKIES! Stickies.

Yes to the IEDs. Stuff some razor blades and other assorted sharp pointy things in there and wait for the boom. It should be crafted something like this: Tin can, razor blades etc (optional, just improves damage) hand grenade? and string for a trip wire.

...german? Ummm.. uch kuper sausage seige stinkle wurfer? I got nothing.
