Sminky

Love the mod, and played it solidly for a week or two when i first discoverd it some 6 weeks back. I and now dip in and out to try new features for half an hour or so over the last few weeks. With each new update i hope i can finally place my tent (resonable), that i've been carrying around for weeks. Each time 'nope' For me i really want to be able to carve out a little palce that is mine, my enjoyment of how i play would make that the intial ultimate goal. I really hope it' sorted soon. It jsut somehow seems hollow until i can

thanks for the advice, i tried that though for about 10 mins that it dawned; what am i doing, this is surposed to be my free time. really hope it coms in a patch soon. Want to get back into DAy z

Even the dota/ LOL communitys are less (just) full of self rightouse 'geeks'. OP, it's a valid point bud.

I found the Mp5SD very usefull, and kind of miss not having one. It's not great for PVP, unlesss you get them within 150m. But for moving through towns wipping out Z's it's great. Just make sure you have it on single shot mode and it's an acurrate 1 hit head shot with a large mag. It's relativly useless in full auto in any situation.

Will the Arma 2 beta patch be 'official' by the time this is out (ie it will download via steam), as looking at the instructions it seems A) quite complicaited, B) is causing problems for lots of people (mostly due to unclear install instructions), and C) it removes steam overlay.

It's a core mechanic and as others have (rather harshly) said it's central to the experiance, and there are things YOU could have done. If you want to survive on more then just luck always take your time, and always scope out a situation before comiting. Except for glitches i have never died when being more carful and aware wouldn't have helped me. That said i still belive somthing needs to be done with the PVP system in it's current state ;)

Nice idea, vision that occasionaly blurs, and hallucinating other players and zombies for the true evil bandit seems quite fitting.

but the map you get is in English, as in the place names are different, genuis.

People who have gone so far in the game and stopped playing while waiting for significant new content to be added i'd imagine. But they'd be in good heatlth, and alive for a while.

YES Although the distance trail off could be confussing, and it would have to work at great ranges to be of use.

Angry, Angry, Geeky, Angry.

Even more unplayable with stock video settings. Go try it out yourself. :) I always play with stock settings. Yeah it sounds like bulls**t but I'm being honest' date=' I'd rather have the excitement of night time rather than the boring eye-wounding monochrome of high-gamma/high-brightness (which not everyone knows about/does, so its automatically unfair). Simply put - the mod wasn't developed for you to change your settings during the night time, night time exists so you can't see and adds a whole new element to the game - seeing clear-as-day around the clock would make the game boring in my opinion and remove a whole side of the game. You know flares? The bright red light things that you [i']spawn with? They're there for a reason too. If you don't want to be "one of those guys" who uses flares to light up the night landscape, I'm afraid there isn't much I or the devs or anyone can do for you - after all, you don't have built-in ocular brightness/gamma settings on your eyes in real life, do you :huh: ? (inb4 you have bionic eyes that can do this) Nearly no one wants to play in the pitch dark, especially as easily availble light sources will just get you shot. People jumping to light timezones is a testerment to this, and puts even more load on struggling free server space.

Some nice changes there. However personaly i'm holding off playing again until tents are properly fixed.

I like this idea.... However they would be a nightmare due to the inevertable sniper/ bandit camp.

go at dusk, take it slow and enter from the back ignoring hangers (worked for me). Or just go to an emptyish night time server, get to a central location (but out of the way) then jsut server hop. There's rarely anyhting good in the barraks though as server hopers/ farmers tend to clear them out, firetower is a better bet.

Yes' date=' how dare he not update an alpha mod while he was at E3 promoting for his company. The nerve of that guy... [/quote'] so many a holes on this forum

yeah they could do with at least a donnations button to try and speed the process along.

think the're some good sugestions, espcially a NPC gaurded safe zone (ala Eve online) where you could meet people to arange an exhibition / grouping. It is a game and far from real in the first place, and yes if you look at any human disaster in history people do tend to band together (it's out nature), but there will always be 'dicks' It is a game and needs certain mechanics to make it more enjoyable and rewarding, otherwise it will jsut stay as an incredible fun, short, novelty.

this game needs to be handled like butterfly wings. It would be so easy to fuck it up, it wil be interesting to see if he/ they do. The curent impression is that those wings are getting jabed hard by grubby little fingers,

it was always bad, and curently it's worse, try one, wait 5 mins if no joy try another, only option i'm affraid.

Iv'e got me a nice tent by a lake, hunting suppiles, and wepons, i feel i've survived (at least how i play this game). Down the line do you think Bohima could make the player limit much higher on sinle servers, i dont just want to surive, i want to survive with people, be a part of carving out our own little place on the map, and forma comunity ( i geuss clan). For that to be workable we'd need much larger servers, and more devloped game mechanics (which hopefully will come). Does anyone working on this mod, or is more faimilar with Arma 2 / Bohima and it's limitations think this could ever be a possiblity?

that's what i was wondering, i think the map can definetly surport 200+ players as far as gameplay goes. I just belive it needs more, and a more persistant world. Over a 1000 and yes that would start to get very silly. A 'Tranquilty ' server sounds interesting, but i dont think i underatand what that will do.

it's 2000 in any single 'instance' so in theroy 2000 people could all meet at the same spot. IT's insane, and will be hugley impressive if they can pull it off, and yes 2000 would be far to many for any Day Z map. But if 2000 is a possiblity for some devs, would 200 be achivable in a single server do you think without it all going to hell.

G17, you can use silenced Ammo for it (game bug means that it also make the wepon silenced to z's if not other players). 17 in the clip, being quite means you can safely take down Z's in one head shot hit that you think might get in the way. If you spend your time in more player populaited towns thouhg M1911, as the G17 sucks at PVP if you get caught of gaurd. Plus running wiht a flashlight at the night through the woods is great for 'spooky vibes'

yup i would, Day Z is technically free, yet i'd wager a large majority brought an aspect of Arma 2 to play it, seeing as it's being devloped by Bohima staff (official or not), it would defiently cause a lot of bad blood. For that reason alone they would be mad to cease updating this mod, they're not bankrupt yet, so i'd guess they're not mad. But 'sustainable payment models' is worrying, i love day Z but would never pay a subsciption for any game, and seeing as a model of Free to play is becoming the norm and workable (not that i think that would work for day Z), i'd hate to see them do a subscirption and diminish the player base. A one of £40 assuming you have lots of great ideas where to take this and i'm yours though ;)
