Seriously what the heck? I have 2 range finders and a pistol light + a weapon light...If this continues I will demand potato power

Haha sorry I just wanted to be on the supply-side of complaints for a change. Loving the game, been away for ~2 years (same time I left forums) due to work, picked it up again last week and it really is enjoyable. One downfall it has is playing alone can be very, very boring.

This game dev cycle is pretty standard for games of this size (open-world, crafting, persistent) Also, hello

Hey guys, As a forum admin, I sometimes do background checks on people who "stand-out" on my forum, make sure they're just citizens, and not anything malicious. Anyway, I'm noticing a disturbing trend of naivety when it comes to internet privacy...sometimes I find I have access to far too much information than a stranger should...and I am using methods that regular forum members can use. Please don't the following: DO NOT use your real name as a display name. DO NOT put your real name in online profiles. DO NOT use the same email in personal and public settings. DO NOT use your real name in your emails, but if you must; DO NOT use your name-email in non-official locations such as forums/site registration/etc. DO NOT use the same name everywhere on the internet. DO NOT leave your facebook profiles open to everyone. The only times you should be using your real name online is if you are a public figure. Unless you are in a position to filter who can reach you, you should never be easy to find on the internet. Real names are for business and family to research you, like LinkedIn...and never should your forum email trace someone back to it.

This forum is for bandits to share tips and stories. There is NO flaming bandits in here. If you are a victim of a bandit attack, feel free to ask your bandit here on how he did it, or read the posts to find out how best to avoid being killed.

I closed the original because the discussion became stale, and when threads get a large number of replies, the whole forum starts to slow. Vent your thoughts here.

Does anyone else think 3rd person should be removed?

http://dayzdev.tumblr.com/ Let’s see some DayZ video! A quiet start for us with a video blog, we’re only detailing a few areas of progress in this weeks update. We show a peek at the new UI, some detail on the new clothing functions available in the engine, and take a tour round a few of the many new areas inside the updated Chernarus map. We’ve edited out our use of the Inventory system, which we’re keeping under wraps for the moment (covered out with hilarious images photoshopped by forum members on the official DayZ forums at dayzmod.com!) So where are we at? Development is continuing to progress in extremely positive ways for us. The architectural decisions we have taken are providing continued dividends with the development of our disease mechanics, and in the ability to create notes in the world. Inventory is fully synchronizing with the central database, including inventory inside clothing items. Essentially your clothing is like many little backpacks. We’re getting plenty of bugs coming in from our closed internal testing, and we haven’t moved to our closed external testing just yet. There is still no timeframe for when this will happen, but we’re committed to continuing with these development updates and blog posts. What is next? We’re working very hard on the inventory system even more, and it looks like the crafting system is close in next in our development. It would be fair to say that inventory and crafting are the key development objective currently, second only to the client/server architecture (makes DayZ more like an MMO), and new zombie AI mechanics (an ongoing task). We look forward to giving even more information, new exciting areas, features, functions, and updates in the coming blogs! We’re all confident it won’t be too long before you’ll be able to join in the development yourself.

Please keep discussion civil and relevant

From where I sit, the standalone development is moving along, but its hard for everyone to keep the hype for a game going for 6+ months. A break from announcements would be ok if it means we can all get excited again. Just relax and enjoy the mods that the community is churning out in the meantime. The standalone is still being worked on, announcements or not :)

I use a PCI card, recording does absolutely nothing to my framerate. Like I said: open broadcasting software

http://obsproject.com/I use it over the avermedia default program because its actually better than premium software

well...you cant accuse them of scripting their videos

locking thread. The issue is over, let sleeping dogs lie. To sum up: Cans were put in as a tribute to mods by *some* devs (not all). Mods had no input on the matter, and found out after the fact. Devs responded to complaints. Cans canned. Development communication improved. Let us all move on together as a single gaming community to help improve both the mod and the standalone. While you may have different opinions on the actions taken, the ultimate outcome is a lesson learned for the development team for future iterations :)

theyre not just re-doing the animations, they're re-doing the model skeletons. Those who have been playing arma for a long while are probably far more excited about this, as it will probably be a look at what will be in Arma 3 in terms of movement.

I've told rocket off for promising regular updates and never delivering them on time :P. You guys will just have to forget about the next blog update and Rocket will post 1 without prior warning

President Obama currently does not do much actual work, instead Joe Biden and other oval office staff actually do most of the bill signing. This is why some bills that Obama opposed during his campaigns such as the US citizen assassination bill has passed in to law. I base this entirely on my own conclusions and have nothing to back it up whatsoever.Please don't spread misinformation :P (also dont start a political debate in here, this is just an example)

You can turn head-bob off...rocket kept it on...kept it on high. Moving around with head-bob off is fine.

Looting in the street will always be followed by gunshots

January 8, 2013 Us forum moderators got together and asked Matthew Lightfoot a bunch of pressing questions that you guys in these forums have been asking: Enjoy :) Text version: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/116479-interview-with-matthew-lightfoot/page__st__40#entry1102050 PS: STOP ASKING FOR CLOSED TESTING ACCESS!!!!

Yea my stream wont be anywhere near as good as the other streamers, but variety is good...and maybe some of you prefer Kiwi accents ;)

I've started a Twitch.TV channel specifically for streaming DayZ closed alpha @ http://www.twitch.tv/griffnz Feedback on quality vs. framerate would be helpful.

Well-done everyone who helped raise awareness, and a special thanks to those who contacted the governments involved. Beans for all.
