This isn't breaking news. This is an old misquote. He actually said that they will be doing work related to DayZ in the next update (the beta stuff we're using now). Nowhere in the quote does it say that DayZ will be included with ArmA 2. That was an inference that the reporter made. Not a single source has been able to confirm that DayZ will be included with ArmA 2 in anyway.

The dots aren't set for any fixed distances. You have to learn how many dots to move for various distances on your own.

There are plenty of servers that only have 10-15 people during night time. That's about the least you can reasonably expect.

Ah, yes. The old "I'm rubber, you're glue" defense. You're defensiveness and repeated insults on this forum are a pretty clear indication of why people are assholes back to you. You're bringing it on yourself. Let shit go. Don't echo the fight. Don't participate in being an asshole. Be the change that you want to see.

Where did you hear that PFC William? Loot spawns client side. Every time someone enters an area, a check is done and new loot may spawn if it has been long enough since the last spawn. Whether it is just me, or me and 9 other people, it really only spawns when the first person gets close. Then after about 20 minutes the timer should reset so that it can spawn again. Or you can empty all of the loot points from a building and it should respawn faster. I haven't seen any sort of increase in good loot spawning when more people are on the server. I'm pretty sure that the mechanic doesn't exist the way you're describing it.

There's the other drawback that people will just respawn until they start with a gun.

I can play baseball for free. I may need a glove, a bat, and a ball, but baseball is free. You can play DayZ for free. You will need ArmA II and Operation Arrowhead, but DayZ costs nothing. Sure, you can't play DayZ without buying ArmA, but you can't play ArmA without buying a PC first. No one with sense is about to add their computer cost into the cost of ArmA because it is irrelevant. The cost of ArmA is irrelevant to the fact that DayZ is free.

I love hot fixes which introduce new features' date=' hehe. [/quote'] I would rather Rocket fix the seriously broken shit (like no food/drink spawining) rather than adding new shit. Save that for after the game breakers are manageable. Did you not read the first post? Rocket already fixed food.

Officially, it is not an approved mod. You'll probably get kicked for it or fail verification.

I was there. Everyone was teleported up into the air where we fell to our deaths. I didn't see who it might possibly be though. I would be mad if I wasn't out of ammo and trailing about 20 zeds. I wasn't going to survive much longer anyway.

If you're running the beta patch, you can press i to find what server you're on.

I've had issues in the past with installing one beta over another. Renaming or deleting the beta folder and re-running the installer solved them for me. It is worth a try if he is having issues.

Had you used the beta patch before? Did you delete the old beta directory or try to install over it?

Welcome to alpha and pushing the limits of the ArmA engine.

It is about 5 kilometers away as the crow flies, so 15 minutes at a full run would be the fastest. I'd say about a half hour is normal depending on exactly how you go about getting there.

Post-processing is an arma effect that simply can not be removed from days. Adjust your graphics settings. It isn't cheating.

No he hasn't. They said they were doing some work that might help the mod in the next patch. That was a blatant misquote that has been milseading all kinds of people.

Lol. I'm if NWAF with 353 blood right now. A damn glitched ladder took me from 6k down to 153 and now I'm scavenging for beans. It looks grim.

There are some dicks in the world, but most people are content to not shoot you and let you go on your way.
