the Stand Alone and Mod will not share a Hive, they will be unique from each other so the Stand Alone means a fresh start for all players, and with a bit of luck an escape from the hackers.

It's not Ignorance its simeply people who want zombies and not terrorists, I am one of the people that got Arma simply to play this, and while I know quite a bit about Arma, I really could not care less about the game and have no intention of playing it, if I wanted to play something like it I would have played something else. People need to understand that while this is a mod, for a lot of people its the sole reason for owning a copy of Arma.

BITE MY ASS... Look how fast their moving and while not only AIMING but shooting, this speed is not evident in DayZ. so next time before you shoot your mouth have some facts to back it up.

I wish you would stop tripping on about Arma being a sim, this is not ARMA this is DayZ, sure its a mod, but it stopped being about an Army sim the second they flung us into a world with zombies. So pull your head out your arma'ss and get with the Zombie picture. SCREW ARMA!. I only paid for the game to play DayZ, and could not care less about ARMA, so just because thats how its done in Arma is not a reason not to or to be forced to do something in dayZ.

for the love of god NO!.. I would rather jump of the Kamenka Bridge and spend ten minutes looking at a loading screen to get a new spawn than run from Kamenka to get back to my body, this idea is terrible and not very well thought out at all, you have to ask yourselves one question, if its not that bad of a deal to spawn all the way out there then why are there so MANY players on so MANY servers perma killing themselves just to avoid the damn place. Its the worst area and spawn in the bloody game and as if being killed and possibly losing all your stuff was not bad enough but then you have to run for 30+ minutes to get back to where you died to meet up with friends or possibly find your dead body. NO. Simply NO!. The way I see it there are 3 options, 1 is to spawn everyone in either Elektro or Cherno randomly in the city not the coast. 2 is to let people chose which spawn point they use, they can then pick the one closest to their death point. 3 make them spawn with a pushbike that despawns as soon as they get off. I would vote for letting the player pick their spawn, if I die in Berizino and then spawn in Kamenka, even with your 10 minute rule I would still wait those 10 minutes and then just kill myself, its still going to be way faster to try for a better spawn than to run..

the doors in your world must be all made of paper and sticks then, but here in the real world doors come in many shapes and sizes and types, hell most homes come with multi locks that hold back law enforcment door pinches never mind you and your big foot. then look at some of the metal doors around the map try kicking in one of those your leg will snap, shoot it and the bullet will rebound and gratz you just head shotted yourself. I second the idea of being able to lock things, personally I think all vehicles should require a key, and that a player with the key should be able to just get in and drive, a player without a key should need to get the key from the other player either by asking or killing and taking it, if a player logs out and does not come back in a set period of time, say 48 hours then the key should respawn inside the car for some one else to take.

they should put that and Lingor in the sea off the coast of Chern..

I play as our groups sniper, but were not all snipers, in fact a few of us hate/cant snipe to save their lives, they use more close range guns, I do kinda agree tho that far to many people are running around as snipers using sniper rifles who frankly have no buisiness using those weapons and have no clue how to play that role in any sort of effective way. As a sniper a 1:1 kill death ratio is not good MKay!. I had one guy tell me he was a brilliant sniper, I asked him how many shots he takes before he moves, his reply was "Why move I sit all day and snipe from the same spot in cherno" .. ROFL... idiots I tell ya, half of them are idiots. In ALL fairness tho and I have said this before, if the close combat gun game with Assault rifles was as fluid as something like CoD or CS then more people might use it, but at the moment the close combat gun game is very clunky, no one likes to run around without their gun aimed and ready to fire, hell the special forces dont move without having their gun aimed the direction their going so why does arma force the players gun down. Make the close combat gun game more fluid and less people will snipe, leaving the real snipers to get down to it without the hassle of idiots on a hill shooting 30 rounds and then being surprised when they get shot in the back of the head.

As a thirdparty and not connected to either group here, 14int your a total asshat, have no clue how bad the hacking is , are selfish to try and force them into opening the server when they were trying to fix damage done by a hacker, and need to stop spitting your dummy out of your pram.. FIRST RULE : Dont get attached to your gear. I suggest you learn it, and for the love of god please stay the hell away from UK / EU servers, we really dont need an ass like you over this side of the pond we have enough problems of our own.

video or it didnt happen.

Kamenka here as well, I sware the game spawns me as far from my body as possible, players hould get to pick a spawn point along the coast not just be given one at random. The metrics will back this up players are simple killing themselves time and time again when they dont get the spawn they want, I am sure thats not what rocket wants, look at kamenka its got about 50 bodies in it at any given time. Let us pick our spawn, or auto spawn us at the closest point to our death it will keep pvp thick and fast and not slow it down while we suicide a tons of times just to spawn closer.

Actually its the Armaa II Engine with some extra's flung on so before you go bashing some one you might want to fact check, the reason Rocket went with the A2 Engine is because(his words) the multiplayer is so important and the A2 Engine has a tested and proven system in place. as well as having a proven engine in place. So Arma 2 Engine, with extras making it Arma 2.5, again these are rockets words not mine. fact check next time sucker.

Items will still spawn in tents when a reset is done as long as people do not save the changes, a lot of people will take out their stuff and then NOT save so that it all pops back on reset. But yeah it does open the game up to hackers and other players finding your tent and screwing you over by taking everything out and saving your tent empty. Tents need to degrade over time, the longer they go the should rip, get holes, and if they do not get repaired then they should vanish off the server, we could use bandages or some new item material to repair them, this would get rid of a load f north tents that just sit there full of gear and get used once in a blue moon.

I was wondering if flipped ATV options were in the game yet, I know they were talking about it for that last patch but I just flipped and ATV and cant seem to get it back on its wheels. Also when will they fix the DOCK's so that it does not make an ATV spaz out. Oh and do Choppers now save or are they still going to reset, finally why the hell can Rocket not write a decent patch note, I dont get why he's so lazy when it comes to informing his fans of whats in or out of the patch.

I have to agree, if they fix all the dupes and then the hackers are still all over the place then people will leave the game in droves, how are you supposed to survive when a hacker insta kills you every five minutes and takes your hunting knife and axe. Your forced back into a city or town to find those basic essential tools, putting you into conflict with other players who are equally geared, so its not going to take people out of cherno its going to force more in, and the game will become even more about running round cherno with a makarov and a lot less about just surviving out the in wild. The tent and item dupes are bad, but right now their the only thing available to players to counter act the impact hackers have on the game and a players progress.

I dont agree, I am a Sniper as well, have been in every game I play that allows them, and been doing so since Duke Nukem and Doom well where possible since then at least. The problem with snipers in Dayz is not the rifles, or the bullet drop or the distances, its the other guns, people take a sniper rifles because it kills fast but they run and gun with them , they need to make the game more fluid for people with M4A1's make it more fluid like something oh I dunno QUAKE, running around with an assault rifle can be a bit of a chore and thats why there are so many snipers around. all they need to do is make the assault rifles more usable and the only people with sniper rifles will be the ones who actually enjoy sitting behind a rock for 6 hours to get 1 shot at 1 person.

I think the StandAlone and the mod need to prevent players from Spawning in within say 100 meters of a player structure. I have sat for hours now and watched as players from other servers have spawned in prone in front of a tent in our base, grabbed stuff and instantly logged out to take the loot back to their own server, it completely nullifies the use of basic defensive like wire, sandbags and tank traps. If a player spawns in and the game detects a tent or player structure within 100 meters it should push the players spawn in point out of the 100 meter area, this will prevent players from ghosting into camps, and prevent them from ghosting past wire and tank traps. It's crazy having an item in the game thats totally redundant when all you need to do is hop server run 5 feet hop back and bingo your on the other side of a defensive wall that might have taken a player days to complete.

I think the best way to sort this out is to make them use batteries, and that the batteries take up 1 bag slot and last for 10 minutes of constant use, or longer if the player uses them only when really needed, the trade off would then be taking a few batteries and having less ammo, possibly make them take up two slots as well to really enforce the trade off. Even with tent dupes, forcing the player to carry them about, would mean that at some point a players night vision would run out of power and he would not be close enough to his base to get new batteries, so it would bite him in the ass and he would be left blind in the dark like the rest of us. Personally I LOVE night time play and have been asking our admin to sort out the time for ages so that it actually gets dark before 2am, seems me like 90% of the people who whine about playing at night are the same run n gun cherno types who are in it for the player kills and not the overall survival experience

I'm sure that it being only 100 meters, if he some how misses a load of tents and wire fencing then he's probably not gona notice that his login position is a little off from his logout position, in fact he would need to be blind not to see a camp less than 100 meters away. I am sure they could manage it so that its not going to drop a player in a zombie mosh pit, hardly a big issue!.

I think we need some more Animals in the game, something for the players to interact with while playing the game and trying to avoid that most dangerous of animals, the Human. Horses : Players could ride them ? a mount, or vehicle that you cant save, you can ride it where ever you want, but when you get off, it would wander back into an open field, or back to its original open field, when killed it should re-spawn kinda quick. Bat's and Birds : At the moment we have that Ambient noise, like a Pigeon taking flight / flee and it scares the crap out of you the first few times until you realize its only Ambient, but what if we had these little flocks of crows, and when a player gets close they make a hell of a noise as they take flight, flying around above the player for a few minutes making noise until the player moves away, these flocks should spawn in open fields near bush's and single tree's and in the middle of forests. With the bats it would be in buildings, barns, if a player walks into a building or barn with bats they would freak out the same as the crows, giving notice to any players around that a human is nearby. Wolves : Should be easy with the dog patch coming, put wolves in the forests, they should be silent, kreeping and stalking their human pray, until their less than 10 meters away then they should sprint at the player snarling, howling and biting, at night or during the day this would scare the utter crap out of players who don't see it coming. Bears : Wolves but big and fat, with the bear they should get within about 20 meters and then rear on their hind legs and roar, again will scare the crap out of players that dont see it coming, as in real life the player then has a choice, try and run away from a bear thats a faster runner, or try and scare the bear off with a gun shot in the air, or try and kill the bear with a high powered rifle shot to the head. they should be hard to kill with body shots making running or scaring them off a better tactical choice. Chickens : I think the player should be able to pick them up, they should then NOT walk through walls, like fencing , sandbags or tant traps, a player could then build a basic chicken pen to house some chickens, if more than one chicken is in the pen then they should have a chance to spawn another chicken or lay an egg. Like the dogs, a kept animal would require feeding, the player could collect seed from the fields. or shops. Cooking : We can make a fire cool, we can cook meat, cool, why cant we heat up beans, or pasta, or how about a nice fried egg from those chickens hes been keeping.

I was wondering if all those people who are moaning about the tents not saving, and dupping crap out every restart have even thought about what life would be like in game when they get fixed. I mean think about it.. just for a second... How long do you normally go before a hacker joins the server and insta kills you and you lose all your stuff ? think on it.. For me, its about an hour, I can play for about an hour on average before eventually and ultimatly a hacker joins spawns at my back and rapes me of my loot, hides my body and spawns all the vehicles into debug. For me the only thing keeping me in game is that Tents Dupe and I can and have resisted the urge to leave the game because of the hackers because I know that my tent is there keeping me in game. I want them fixed. But not until the hackers are gone, I can handle losing my kit, but not to a hacker who can kill me without me even having a chance to fight back. so think about it.......

First of all I am not moaning about the hackers, just pointing out that people that have a moan about the tents might wana think about the subsequent consequences when a hacker visits their server. As for being geared, thanks to the tent bug I have gear coming out my ass which is why the hackers dont bother me at the moment, I know I can get my stuff back after a reset, but if and when those tents get fixed I will be a lot more angry and annoyed when I die to a hacker, because I will know I cant get my stuff back. I have killed my fair share of hackers, even have some funny video thanks to fraps as a result , but once their action start to have a real impact on the players, the number of posts here about it will go through the roof. I guess my final thought is, that its possible the devs are holding back on a tent and vehicle fix because they know what the impact will be if they cant and dont fix the hacker issue first, I do not think the chopper spawning every reset is a mistake I think the devs wanted that to happen as the chopper is by far the best vehicle and the one the hackers screw over the most as soon as they spawn in.

I think the wild animals should give more health than the cows, and farm animals. It's far to easy to just walk up and bang a cow in the face, or a sheep or goat, or chicken, and yet they currently yield the best. I think the boar, rabbit should yield the most, as well as being a lot harder to get close to, hunting them at the moment is a waste of time.

Would be nice if the animals like boar and rabbit did not let players get within say 4 or 5 hundred meters without running away from them, at the moment it kinda sucks you just walk upto a wild animal and plug it in the head with your pistol. Cows I can understand cos their tame....

Your talking out your ass , the TWS is not god mode, or over powered I have no idea why they took it out, before finding one myself (taken from a player) My setup was and still is CCO SD, AS50 and an L85, I would spot with the L85, Zero into the players position, take a mental note opf what ever bush or tree hes behind, switch to the basic AS50 and then blow the shit out of him, My miss count was higher but only because once I switched guns I was essentially shooting at something I could no longer see, but I still knew where he was. Now with the AS50 TWS, the only change my whole game play style is that I no longer need to fill my bag with the L85, and I can AIM and Fire without having to change guns , so im shaving a whole 4 seconds off my Spot, Aim, Fire rotation. SO NO!, Sorry but calling it over powered or a bad gun is simply bullshit, its all down to the player, its a gun, and requires skill to use, even making a 1000 meter shot on a still target can be hard, a moving target requires buckets of skill, put that TWS in the hands of a noob and they might get a few extra kills on targets they might have not noticed before, but no more kills than they would have gotten with the L85 in their hands. So i'm with that guy, if I shoot some one and take it from them, I am damn well gona use it.
