Yeah, they need to be careful, but so what? I am so fucking hyped for standalone purely because it will give a better platform for better improvements to probably my favourite game.. ever.

Ah, why not. Minecraft had more players before Minecon happened though, and I'm not sure we're the same kind of community as the Minecraft one.

The point was reasonably valid, sure it was exaggerated, but the meaning was the same. You can still see that guy on the football field, so why can't a zed? If you're sprinting around like a madman I could probably see you from quite far. Ripped from google: 'Dust, water vapour and pollution in the air will rarely let you see more than 20 kilometres (12 miles), even on a clear day.'

I don't know.. I just don't like the idea of giving 'perks' to playstyles. Sure they're minor things but why make it even easier for people who only live to PvP to PvP? I do agree that the bandit skin should come at a much lower humanity than it currently does. I got bored once, killed a load of people in Cherno (unlike me usually) and now am stuck with a bandit skin, meaning players north of Mogilevka (i.e. where the fun actually starts) just shoot me on sight rather than giving me a second chance, all thanks to me doing this one murder spree. Makes it basically impossible not to KoS in the wildy for me. Just back to your ideas, your example seems to me like an attempt at adding 'balance' to the game, which Rocket has stated many a time is not one of the key features of DayZ.

Am I the only one who enjoys the new way in the update that zeds can just swarm you in a room, leaving you to fight it out to the last? Makes it seem more like there's more than 10 zeds in Cherno.

Always wanted a game where it was your chance to survive the zombie apocalypse, like in the movies/TV shows. Wanted ultra-realism, ArmA is about as real as it can get without being ridiculous these days. All in all, pretty happy. Just wish DayZ was about 20 times harder and that the map was bigger.

Maybe you're right, but I thought they said that it was just the one. Who knows. At least I've got the mod.

^ Also YouCanRun don't we all.

Checked out the account seems pretty legit to me.

I agree somewhat, I don't want to see things that Rocket and the team aren't happy with or want to release, but seeing more interiors/areas keeps me happy. Just Rocket walking into that house which has always before been unenterable set me off.

I'm sorry, but I've got at least 600 hours on DayZ and I've not once been Thunderdomed or killed by a hacker. I've had stuff given to me twice, and some helos spawned in by me but I don't play on password servers and the problems really not as bad as you'd think.

It's a reflex almost - it's an emergency escape. He probably dc'd before he knew he was dead. People don't like losing stuff.

It would become a troll item just like wire fencing and tank traps have become.

...You see Heinz Baked Beans and feel an instinctive urge to take them. ...Get really excited when you see Mountain Dew. ...Can't think of any more right now.

He does seem to have trouble

Hackers.

Right, so basically I have been having this thing ever since I started playing DayZ where after about 2-5 minutes of joining ANY game, I get a full yellow chain, immediately followed by a full red chain, meaning I have to leave and rejoin the game. Now, this gets incredibly tiresome, and so I asked about it here on the forums. One guy suggested reinstalling Windows and Arma, which I have just completed. After setting up DayZ and actually getting it to work properly again (the most recent beta has problems with Steam for some reason), I join a game and everything looks good, until 5 mins later BAM and the yellow chain appears. I've just quit the game in frustration again, bit of a waste of time seeing as DayZ was the only reason I did it really. But anyway, rant aside, does anyone else have this problem or have any idea how to fix it? I'm on the verge of giving up with DayZ until Standalone. Me when Yellow Chain appears: http://nooooooooooooooo.com/

Hi bob, here is my speedtest on a wireless connection, I use both wireless and wired. http://www.speedtest.net/result/2144118007.png I will check my port now. The strange thing is is that my brother sits next to me when playing and he has none of the same problems, using exactly the same network as me. Will check my Windows Firewall ports. Noone else is online at the moment, but as I say during the day my brother is. noone else though. I do have a reasonably similar random-kick problem with minecraft, and Chrome downloads usually drop out and make me redownload.

Definitely: Glitches Hackers Players Zombies

Good idea, would it work with the engine is my question. Guess it couldn't be that difficult to do.

So, currently I am bored with DayZ and am looking for something to do, most of my friends have stopped playing due to bugs/hackers so its just one other guy and me. So what I'm thinking is to set up, in one of the diners in Cherno, Elektro or Berezino, a shop. I would pick a server and set up a base in one of the diners, with my friends as bodyguards (they like the idea) and basically barter with anyone who came in looking for things. Probably quite risky but with 4 bodyguards hopefully it would work.

Will give it a go when DayZ is working again for me, has bugged out to hell recently

I have been having the connection problems too, every server I try to join has said 'Bad version, rejected connection' although I'm certain everything is up to date. I don't know if some servers have backdated possibly to try and stop the graphical glitches, although they don't say it. I have just reinstalled Windows while trying to fix the recurring 'Yellow chain -> Red chain' kick problem I have been getting a couple of minutes into every game I join. TBH right now I am just about finished with all the shit DayZ has given me. Also Battleye has caused me to lose my best life yet. What would really be nice sometimes is if Rocket would actually give us an UPDATE or something as to what is going on... I have moved on to other games now. Hopefully I'll be back by Standalone, or if these things are fixed sooner. Sorry for the moan it is just really getting on my nerves.

Seeing as the release as standalone is coming up, this means that it is likely Heinz Beans will have to be removed, as they are a brand that has not been allowed by that company to be in an OFFICIAL game. However, I can't see why they wouldn't want free advertising to potentially 1 million or so players who may switch over to standalone, and others who will buy it on release. So, I'm thinking I will send them an email, who wants to join me? Without Heinz DayZ has no soul. Save the beans.

U can build Tents obviously, also u can place wire fencing, tank traps and sandbags (although you need an entrenching tool). Rocket has said in interviews that he wants to add more base options, specifically underground bases where they can be upgraded, he goes on about 'Red Faction Style'. Watch some of the interviews about standalone that may help
