oh my god, a complaint about the map size... ...it has begun

I've already seen female player-controlled models in Arma 3

All online gaming servers need a restart. Most are once-weekly. This mod is in alpha, and run on privately-owned servers...

prevents people exploiting infinite ammo

I love these suggestions

Also, you hit ALT-F4 as a reaction, you will get no sympathy from anyone.

Finding a UAZ full of EVERYTHING, and have it disappear from a server restart.

Frankly, this game is where games should have been at 5 years ago. BIS arent a large company, neither is their bank accounts...Most major publishers pour money in to marketing and graphical design. Shareholder interest trumps gaming innovation.

nice kill vids...Im always forgetting to turn my FRAPs on when I kill

hahahhaa...naming and shaming hackers. I love it!

Those of you who started playing back around 1.2 will know that it started out as extremely cooperative...no-one knew what to do, and everyone was working together. ...As the days went by, the trust disappeared. Then the direct communications failed, which just led to anarchy. Where we are now as a DayZ society may not be reversible

Im sorry but I need to see this comic at least 4 times per day:

Not bad. PM Adam

When you step outside in to the real world one day, you are going to be sorely disappointed

Well all I can say is that this mod got popular by being difficult, and it looks like the majority want to keep it that way.

Yes' date=' people who group others up into a VERY general group while talking down about said group are very attractive. Especially when they are ignorant of the topic at hand and assume it is an example of what they are talking down about, when it is actually the opposite. [/quote'] How long have you been playing this game? As mentioned earlier, it's all a learn-from-your-mistakes experience. Im on my 20-something character, and each character lasts longer than the previous. What you want is instant gratification. You wont get that. The medical supplies spawn where you'd find medical supplies...around hospitals and in medical tents, or even military barracks. Yes, to go and get them is a risk...but then, they are not a life-or-death necessity. Only food and water is, and you can thank your lucky stars the dev team has decided to make them abundant. Medical supplies are a convenience. Just like the equipment at the military bases, they are not needed to survive, but you can risk your life attaining them. As for shooting other players to get them...great, you do that. You can just as easily cooperate with them to go to the danger-zones, or simply just ask them if they have any to spare...it is a choice you have overlooked. You are not applying real-world decision-making to your situation, you are simply looking for an easy-way-out solution that is usually found in casual games. Griff'd.

AFAIK they have fixed the time-syncs between dayz mod (data) and server. The glitch may be in the Arma 2 engine and server now.

anywhere generally. High population areas = higher chance

direct chat has been fixed. And have you tried strafing through a doorway at home with your arms stretched out infront of you holding a gun?

You want this game to be changed to cater to your needs so you dont have a hard decision to make in regards to survival. This is something I have feared for a couple of weeks...the wider gaming community will jump on this mod and start asking the mod to be changed so it is more "newbie friendly", until eventually it is not a survival sandbox any more.

^ My friend has learned to navigate by stars IRL with the help of this mod

I think you're missing the point of this game

That's the name of the game...you decide how you survive. Personally, if Im alone, Ill climb to a hospital roof and grab med supplies (they arent JUST inside the glass doors).

I see the wider gaming community has joined the Arma ranks...oh dear. Locking thread. If you are new to the Arma community, know this; Immature behaviour and abuse in the forums will NOT be tolerated. Arma devs have always had a close relationship with the community, and childish behaviour will push them away.
