malau (DayZ)

Is this a cheater who downloaded the software mentioned in the Battleye warning, trying to tell people how to get around the ban ?

I put the CAMO on and gained 750 Humanity (!)

Man that SUCKS !! You earned a Hero status only to (potentially) lose it to a bug. Do you even know if it is the Southern Sea or the Eastern Sea ? You could end up swimming in the wrong direction. And what about the 'feature' where swimming has an x percent chance of wiping out your rucksack contents ? Oh man !

Don't use the update feature on DZC, it was never worked properly, it can't even update itself. Download the installs manually from http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php/

DRH needs to spend more time coding and less time appearing on pointless 60 minutes videos with the 2 gay guys from IGN.

I wish this wasn't fixed in 1.7.2.6 because once you reach the point where you have the best gear you could ever want, then you avoid pvp to make sure you keep it. Then all there is to do is kill zombies, for that you need the infinite ammo bug or else you have to make endless trips to the NWAF to pick up mags. This is why I won't install 1.7.2.6 until there are absolutely no servers left with 1.7.2.5.

Eh ? What do you mean ? The lack of commas and fullstops is a real problem. You have bought OA and on your DVD was Arma FREE version ?

Isn't Chernarus + just Chernarus with all the bits DRH removed to create The Wilderness put back in ? They are still part of the map in Arma 2, he just removed all the trees and objects for Dayz.

The illusion breaking thing is if you go to a small village and conduct a Long Barn massacre, you can go on killing literally forever. Meaning that there are more zombies that there are beds in the village (not to mention they are all homosexual, as there are no women).

I'm with you. I have no more gear to find, everything is perfect. That being said there's NO WAY I'M GOING TO RISK LOSING IT ALL IN A PVP (or to a hacker) ! So the game is effectively over for me too. All there is to do is have Long Barn massacres to up your Zombie kill score (easy with DMR and infinite bullets exploit). Now what ? I have a score of 3,000 kills and humanity of 3,250 - I'M GOING TO RISK LOSING THIS IN PVP (or to a hacker) EVEN LESS NOW.

Underground bases Well yeah AT SOME POINT in the distant future, definitely not in the initial releases of the Standalone (from what DRH has said in interviews)

If you want a vehicle, go and play A2 Armoury - see how awful they are ? Now go and drive one in Dayz and imagine a bright flashing BULLSEYE on your head, as every player who ever sees you tries to kill you. Their only good purpose is as giant storage posts hidden out in the depths of the forest for you to steal from.

They've been releasing Arma 2 beta's so quickly these days, and they NEVER put anything in the bloody changelist !

Cry Engine 3 would die on it's ass trying to run a 225sqkm game, let alone one with the complexity and graphical beauty as the one Arma 2 does. And then on top of that HUNDREDS of AI all doing their pathing ON THE FLY. No, no way, Cry Engine can barely deal with the small environments they have in Crysis. Arma engines are the only engines out there that can run a massive, beautiful looking world with so many AI.

Is the series finished.

I complained to BE about this awhile ago. The BE guy mistook me for an Admin and actually replied! He told me to send him the server.txt (server dot something anyway). He said these errors are caused by admins not updating server dot whatever to a compatible version or have made a non standard addition to the file.

While we're on the subject of fantasy scenarios - WESTWORLD would be a good one.

NVG is essential on the Mod for night-time play until DRH implements the Arma 3 version of nighttime in the 'Standalone' with it's infinitely more subtle shades of darkness. The only reason NVG's don't seem rare - and you've seen the percentage spawn chance so you know they SHOULD be rare - is because hackers and item dupers have multiple copies in their tents, which then get looted.

FINALLY ! Someone who knows how to use punctuation and how to capitalize letters !

You're not missing out on anything. In a vehicle you are just a sitting target for any Johnny within range. Not to mention the myriad ways to injure / kill yourself by crashing or glitching (and this being a military FPS you can imagine how the vehicles handle). If I see a hoarded vehicle I blow it up with a frag grenade so that someone else potentially more worthy has the chance to use it when it respawns. But that probably doesn't work in 1.7.2.5 anymore, so i'm probably just wasting grenades.

I thought the DayZ Draw Distance was deliberately limited to something like 400-500m ?? Would a player even register onscreen from 600m away ?

You know, the usual thing that most sandbox games have these days, a stats screen, with things like: (just making this up as I go along obviously) * Longest kill shot * Highest elevation reached. * Percentage of map explored. * Distance Walked / ran * Distance crawled * Distance swam * Distance driven * Distance flown * Favourite weapon by percentage of kills * # Tins of food eaten * # Cans of Drinks consumed * # Meat consumed * Number of animals killed. * Longest zombie kill-streak * Number of Towns visited * Location visited most often * Total number of supermarket visits * Number of helicopter crash sites raided * Number of times spotted by other players * Number of times spotted by zombies * Number of times fainted * Number of limbs broken * Favourite clothing * Number of tents found / looted * Number of vehicles stolen * Barbed wire laid / removed * Tank Traps laid / removed * Sandbags laid / removed

I meant private stats that only you can see, not hive stats.

No hacker tears ?! Where's my hacker tears ? I DEMAND SOME DELICIOUS HACKER TEARS !

Oh no ! The shame and the loss of face must be.........wait a minute....that's a meaningless punishment - mocked by strangers................the shame and the loss of face must be.................
