I'd sell you my arma 2 and OAH for 15 if you really wanted to play. too bad i own too many steam games to do that. (no longer playing dayz till standalone, don't want to burn myself out for the full game) However, they said latest December for a release date for alpha multiple times. Though i guess they could change there mind before then. (Matt Lightfoot said December is aimmed for the release date) edit:dang it ninja'd by morgan lol

i want to be a chicken now.. :X minus the youtube :I

Since everyone knows that the standalone is coming out soon; was wondering if there would be a test demo before buying similar to how minecraft had it? I had a couple of friends buy arma 2, that could obviously could run arma 2 but when running dayz (lag issues/fps) couldn't play it. So i was wondering if there was going to be like a test demo for people to test before buying/downloading it? Obviously you can't copy minecraft in this way with it running in the browser for a test demo, but just wondering if the game would be more optimized to solve this issue in the standalone and if there'd be a way to test it before buying it? Thanks in advance, cant wait for the release. -inb4 people say you can test the game in the mod :C not the point! lol- And yes i can understand that pc recommended requirements could solve this, but i guess the demo could also show people if they like the game or not too. (short 2 minute connection demo or something similar) edit: http://www.wowwiki.com/Soon

once you input the hide command you can leave. sometimes its instant, sometimes its not. But once you do it, its going to sink. eventually. as for OP, i hide bodies alot because of reasons people explained before. It's better then me just waiting for the people to come back to there bodies and keep rekilling, thats even more of a dickmove (that i don't do)

eh won't really matter once the standalone comes out. however, i'd figure if hackers can hack pretty much anything in the current game, why couldn't they just automatically start a vote to save and instantly make it succeeded to have the server save after the mayhem. and what the people said before me about people abusing it and also duping items lol.

dev could probably do it, but then you'd probably beg for more :/ atleast most people would, you'd lose the survivor taste. As for the 7 day grace period for vehicles spawn. Im pretty sure it works like this. (not 100% since i don't own a server, but it makes sense as to why your vehicles haven't spawned yet) Say vehicles spawn on friday night. You buy a server monday, instead of adding you to the list now, it's automatically added EXACTLY after 7 days. so it'd be added after the respawn vehicle date. so you'd have to wait till the following friday to get the vehicles. just my 2 cents, just might be a lack of communication, they say 7 days, but really its a bit longer then that depending on when you bought your server and when the vehicle spawn time/date is if there is even a set one lol. edit: before you ask why they couldnt just tell you the date they spawned. You'd just camp all the vehicle spawns on any server, even if you didn't own one and it'd get out to the public eventually. Also how do you know they haven't spawned yet and you weren't sleeping or something? Don't think the server keeps track of vehicle spawn but im not quite sure.

exactly! you see where im going with this :P

So i signed up just to post in this thread really. If this game was to become realistic, it would probably become boring to most. I wouldn't mind personally if it did, but ALOT of things would need to change. 1. Items can't respawn in real life. 2. Servers would have to be 1 huge world. 3. GL getting ammo in a realistic apocolapyse without people already there camping it for survivors. Or even people just looking to kill. You get where im going with this, pretty much it wouldn't really be a game anymore, and everything would be limited. Even animals and such. GL living without any food :< lol one thing i would hope they'd fix when the full game is out is the amount of ammo that is found (hopefully they solve duping bugs and such by then) more melee weapons such as hatchets and possibly other weapons such as knifes and machettes* would be used while ammo would be scarce... (sorry for typos too tired to actually fix any of them atm) * i know theres not a machette in this game, and you can't use knives for combat, but in the full game release, they could add pretty much anything i would think. Utentials and such
