It seems impossible that BI could possibly have a new game engine ready, so what is actually going to be in the feature set of DayZ standalone? Will any major engine improvements be achieved with this release, or are we just going to pay for the same DayZ with its own hard disk footprint? This is what DayZ needs to be worth paying for: - Larger servers - Elimination of duping and hacking - Logoff timers - Anti-ghosting measures Is any of that actually going to happen?

Obviously, you underestimate the audacity of "law enforcement" in the United States.

I want to see the OP travel 8 km with a backpack, rifle, pistol, hundreds of rounds of ammo, food, water, first aid, binoculars, and a hatchet, and I want to see him do it in less than a day. Then come back and whine about how hard it is to hold down a key on a computer keyboard for 30 minutes.

Is this still going? If so, please add me on steam (cosmicosmo4) or, preferably, PM me the current teamspeak details. I have been looking for a good, organized group for ages.

Beta 94945 here, stuck on Wait for Host before even getting to the slotting screen, on every server.

This sounds perfect for me. I am an EVE and ArmA (ACE/ACRE) player and am definitely a "guy who wants to be on the front lines with an AR." I don't normally use steam much but I'll go shoot you a friend request.

Mind cluing us in on what sort of server-hopping fix you have in mind, so that we can discuss it in theory? Once the technology gets in place, we want you to implement the best possible version of the fix.

So operator. I am in awe of your operatorness.

You want a harsh, realistic world? You want threats in the wilderness without having to spawn zombies everywhere and bog down the servers? One bear can do the work of 20 zombies. They're hard to kill, they maim in a single swing, and they can smell the meat in your pack from a kilometer off. We need bears.

Some less-lethal combat options would be fantastic. Pepper spray, tasers, rubber bullets/beanbags, zip-tie cuffs, and knockdowns (blunt/unarmed melee) would all be great additions.

Are you stupid, or just terrible? Deer stands are just about the *easiest* structure to loot without aggroing zombies.

I don't agree.

Your character is stored on the hive server. You can't delete it even if you want to. If you want to save your user profile, which contains all of your keybinds and settings, backup the ArmA2 and OA folders that are in My Documents. However, if you're just reinstalling the game, I don't think the installer will even overwrite those.

I think the average life expectancy is programmed to ignore lives that last under 1 minute or something. By making people suicide-run into zombies or find a weapon, you would actually create a lot more 3-5 minute lives and drop the reported life expectancy.

I don't think you know what PvP means. The CZ550 drop rate was already nerfed. Sniper rifles are fine, go cry elsewhere.
