I love you, Bane. The AI choppers being removed will hopefully greatly help my fps.

Hopefully I'll see you on there later tonight.

Get a little bird and start doing an air show over Electro/Cherno.

As log as I can cut off zombie heads with my machete, I'm happy.

Your story reminds me a lot of my 14 day old character. The only difference is I died to a hacker but I had very similar experiences to yours.

Like Statik said, DayZ will never be 100% realistic. I don't really think there is much that could be done to stop someone from looting their body after they die. While the zombies ripping apart a dead body is kind of good, it has its own issues. Not being allowed to loot your body after you die isn't a good idea either imo. Especially since it's so easy to die to random glitches and bugs. Hopefully SA won't have glitches and bugs that can kill you but there is still the chance that there will be. I think that if someone wants to run back to their body to grab their gear, then let them. I myself don't usually like to loot my body after I die. Sometimes I'll have my friends grab a few items off my body like a backpack, or gun, but I generally like to start over with looting after I die. However I have nothing against players who loot their body after they die. They took the time to run back to their body so let them get gear from it.

I think everyone figured the OP was trolling. Magic in DayZ is the most absurd idea I've heard.

I kind of got bored of vanilla DayZ. I've been playing DayZ since July of last year and while vanilla is still kind of fun, I don't enjoy it as much as I use to. To me, there isn't much else to do after I've geared up. I could get a car, and a chopper, but I've done that so much it just doesn't give me enjoyment like it use to. As far as public hives go, US 3480 is pretty good. I played on it several times a few weeks ago and it was nice. The admins seemed to be active, and I don't remember having an issue with a hacker. The only problem I did have was that there were a ton of spawn killers.

There are a few reasons that some DayZ mods and maps don't get noticed imo. 1. Like someone else said, there are so many mods and maps of DayZ that the community just isn't big enough to fill them. 2. Not enough publicity and advertisement. The mods and maps that are being covered by the big youtubers are the ones that are going to be more popular and known about. Also, if the mod/map development team doesn't have the proper means to advertise, than that can also affect the popularity of the mod/map. 3. Mod doesn't offer enough stuff or is almost the same as another one. For maps it could be that they are too small, or lack anything interesting. For me personally, the only other map that I have actually liked is Namalsk. All the other maps are boring imo because the only thing that makes them different from Chernarus is that they have different scenery and towns. Namalsk actually offers really cool things. 4. The mod/map just sucks. Enough said.

An idea almost exactly like this was posted several days ago. I think it's a good idea though, and would be cool to see in SA.

Everybody died. It's just us on the forums left. On a serious note, the wiki is open for people to edit so it seems like no one has gotten around to editing or adding anything. "Here you'll find a source of information on the ARMA II Mod: DayZ as well as the upcoming DayZ Standalone. Feel free to appropriately add and edit information."

OK I'll try and find some more links. I remember having this issue last year when I first got Arma but I don't remember how I fixed it. Have you tried running steam as administrator and then running Arma 2 and Arma 2 OA? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=It9d6exmCsA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FG1SXN6oIGY http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3039440

Awesome! Thanks for posting that, Smash. I really like that going prone will make you go into first person.

You still going on about that? lol I think you should suggest this on DayZ epoch's forums. Not here. http://dayzepoch.com/forum/

You got a problem with Inception or something? No need to go all out on him like that.

He's 4.

When someone hit me with a car in Cherno and I flew almost all the way to Electro. Also when my friend hit my car with his, and I flew like a thousand meters in the air.

Really well written review. Thank you.

I don't like the idea because it doesn't fit for DayZ imo.

Well I like third person, but I suggested an idea.

So moving on to ideas for 3rd person... Maybe a way they could "tweak" it is somehow cut off your vision if you're up near a wall or something. I'll try and explain what I mean. So there you are, looking straight forward. There is a wall on your right. You are in 3rd person and you walk over to the right. You have your head right up next to the wall. Your fov in 3rd person has now been cut off on your right, and you CAN'T see over the wall. I don't know if it's possible to do what I suggested, but none the less, it is a suggestion.

Yes. If you zoom all the way out, then look near the bottom right corner of the map, you'll see a very tiny island.

Next time you should take them out to the small island on the bottom right corner of the map. It's 11k away from mainland so they're screwed out there.

This makes trading and selling a thousand times easier.
