It makes more sense to make small leaps before tacking on the big hurdles. You might have expected a reworked mod, but they're making a new product from the ground up. I'm content with the progress made, and it's some pretty far since release. No one ripped you off. There was a disclaimer. We're all testers, and we're being given the chance to test an unfinished product. We provide feedback on the implementation of new items, and report bugs. This isn't a finished game, and it won't be for a while. You read the disclaimers (I hope), and no one ripped you off. The developers have gone through painstaking lengths to remind people this is a buggy, unfinished game in progress. Every time a developer makes a tweet, reddit, or forum post about ANYTHING, someone just has to complain- "No vehicles, this sucks!" or "Why isn't this finished yet, I've been ripped off!". It's Alpha. It's development cycle is barely over. We have six or so months until we hit Beta, and another year until full release. It is VERY early to make grandiose assumptions that the developers have ripped everyone off, made a shitty game, and that the mod is glistening example of superiority and polish (it's not). ArmA wasn't exactly designed for the exact needs of DayZ. They're trying to change that, by making a new game. Not a polished version of the mod. An entirely new game. This will take time, but I've said that a million times before. It just needs to be drilled into the thick heads of a very vocal minority. I've logged in almost 400 hours, and I have reaped more than enough out of the thirty dollars I've spent. Better than any gimmicky ten dollar indie title or triple A sixty dollar game has brought me in a very long time.

Hi, If gasoline is coming with the vehicles, open fire in the world will probably come too. It would be fun to make lines of gasoline and then light them up. Maybe they'll make torches or fire arrows too, just stuff that burnes... Maybe they will make burning houses and wildfires (stuff that has been suggested) So my question to everyone, Should the zeds fear the fire? Whydo I ask that? Well, if you'd set a zed on fire, what does "it" do? If I make a circle of gasoline, light it up and stand in the middle, will the zed still reach me or will he stop in front of the fire? Will they just run through fire (or even burning houses if they should implement them), or will they try to avoid them? Does that work with the new navmesh system? This could influence gameplay and would give fire arrows or molotow cocktails a whole new meaning.

At the rate of production I would fire Rocket H1Z1 is doing what should have been done along time ago by Bohemia they are using the criticism of the players and making a great game in the process they made a game that has vehicles, buildings, unique ideas and concepts and didn't make any money yet in the process while you are just getting money by selling a running simulator.

Vehicles and base building is already planned. Please have a look around in the Announcement and New Player forums, you can read a lot about the current state of, and future plans for, DayZ. Locked.

The problem with giving more admins the power is that there is a certain percentage that WILL abuse it. Some of the powers admins in the mod they had were spawning guns/vehicles not in the loot cycle, have a live updater of a players location every 15 seconds, and above all cheat all the fun and destroying a legitimate plaer with those tools. Yes the admins right now need more power, but I do not want that power given until the private hives role out.

Background: I have been a zombie fanatic for 24 years, I have made an effort to keep the things I've added in line with that passion. I looked at everything I've added and asked "does this make sense?". Rather than just put 8 barracks at Kamenka I made a concious effort to find suitable places for things. I run the latest and best antihacks, and am very active. In addition I have several other seasoned server admins. I care about how fun the game is, and want to do everything I can to make sure you have a good time.

Well, I'm not even against them adding "extreme" weapons. I wouldn't complain if they added a KSVK, M107, or even AS50, but they have to be done correctly. In the mod they were so terrible because you could run around full speed, with full weapon maneuverability, with a weapon that had almost no bullet drop, and very little recoil even from a standing up position. If they were to change that, and make something like an M107 or KSVK be an extremely specialized weapon like that, then I'd have no problem with them, because it would not be worth the time it takes to find all of the extremely rare ammo for a gun that is only useful for long range and essentially cannot be used for anything else (even a bolt-action sniper is capable in close quarters, an AMR isn't) I just don't think they're necessary, because they don't add a whole lot to the gameplay that other, more versatile sniping platforms can. I'm fine with long ranged weapons, it's just I wouldn't add .50s if I was on a constraint for how many ammo calibers we could have. Tanks, are pretty much the same thing. I'm fine with pretty much everything as long as the work it takes to use something effectively is balanced with how effective it is, but my big problem with tanks is that it's hard to destroy them with anything. Helicopters can be brought down with enough concentrated small arms fire, but even older tanks like the T-34/85 which is one of the oldest tanks still in service can shrug off small arms fire like it's nothing. The RPG-7 could be an effective counter for a tank like that but even T-72s and T-55s in the middle east can survive PG-7V rockets. The RPG-7 is generally used in a similar role to the M136/M72 LAW now, against light/medium armored vehicles or to suppress and assault infantry, which would be great in the game. I don't know. I really do want an M72 in the game, though :P

Haha, finally someone that agrees with the posts i have been making for months concerning implementation of tanks into Dayz Standalone. Think of it like this: Alright say you have a tank, you can easily transport people, weapons, food, and other supplies around the map and still be protected with the thick tank armor and devastating firepower. However, you have to maintain this monster with the amount of fuel it consumes, the parts it is missing (depends on the condition you find it in), the tank cannon ammunition (give it some heavy weight to it so it requires a few players to lift it and put it inside the tank), the speed of certain tanks. And hey if the tank breaks down in the middle of combat while you are surrounded by heavily armed combatants, it can either be a damn good bunker, or it can be your metal death bed from a hell fire of explosives and high caliber fire (Armor Piercing, .50 BMG, 12.7x108mm). Also would allow for the implementation of tank mines to place in the road. (Although tank mines can be used to take out people and other vehicles) Tanks would be a huge game changer in Dayz Standalone because it would give a strong post apocalyptic feeling in the sense that it is something that needs extreme care or else it will fail to serve its purpose (whatever purpose you intend that is)

As far as I understand it....just like the mod so... 1, Yes, only on the server you pitched it on though. It stays when you are logged off aswell. 2, Yes and yes. Your tent will always be at risk of someone finding ad looting it. When vehicles come running over tents may become a hobby for some aswell lol

Haven't played the exp so I was not aware of this, but I can see the problem with this. Anyway, this is actually pretty funny because people used to whine about the nights being too dark and now that they have made them brighter people are complaining that now they are too bright. This makes me think that there is actually no problem with the game but the users instead since no matter what the devs will do/fix/add they'll always get s**t from the users. I can't wait to see what kind of c**p people will give them when the vehicles will finally get implemented. Ofcourse this sort of behaviour is to be expected with anything that has large number of people involved in it. No matter what you do, you can never please everybody. And just to make sure, I am not a brown noser. Personally I think there are more than few things that should have been fixed/added already, but I am just pointing out the irony of this community.

Though i'd love for there to be soft body physics or cars simply showing damage/dents, knowing the engines history it's HIGHLY unlikely you'll see anything we havent already(i.e. change in textures thats more scratched/has bullet holes) But for other physics, pretty much everything katana67 said plus something i can't stress enough. proper suspension physics and weight. Though it improved slightly in Arma3, vehicles are still incredibly stiff and "fly" or float when you're going at high speed and get some air. In real life your car will come clanking down if it comes off the ground, but with the arma engine you gently glide down. it's really frustrating, especially when going off road. If they get that right + everything Katana67 said i'll be one happy camper. But at the very least i really want there to be proper suspension physics.

For me, it's quite important that vehicle physics and handling are believable. That means you shouldn't be able to drive off road at any great speed without damaging your car or losing control. Off road is bumpy and it is slippery - if you put a wheel on the verge at the edge of a road while driving at speed, the physics should put you in trouble. You shouldn't be driving around at full tilt all of the time without danger, and the game should allow you to spin or roll the car if you're being reckless. Crashing should have serious consequences for the vehicle and anyone inside it. Ideally, I'd like to see manual gear changing enforced for appropriate vehicles (ie. most of them) - it wouldn't be a difficult thing to implement into the game, and nor would it be particularly difficult for players to get used to. It would give a much better feeling of control and involvement, though, and allow you to regulate your speed more easily.

That inevitably the slow addition of features will lead people to create their own maps like "Dayz nuketown" where you start with an M4 and vehicles are more common than tins of food. Frankie will play on these new maps, increasing their popularity and it will draw players away from the 'true' game.

Well the ammo needs to be more readily available for that 101 AK no way around it really yeah it can be a hard to find weapon but dont make the NATO round spawn just at heli crashes. I dont think the ammo should spawn like rainfall but it needs to be enough to where you have a 50/50 chance of finding one in a military compound or bunker. Hell i think even some of these military vehicles should start spawning a small chance for loot like what the police cars do.

No one on YouTube plays DayZ with that playstyle because it's boring and completely unchallenging. Most people just want to watch people getting blown away. Personally, I find watching PVP in this buggy mess of a game just as boring. That being said, most people on YouTube are bad. DayZ streaming and YouTube channels are a plague. Whatever happened to the good old days when you'd watch someone on YouTube who was actually good? Fatal1ty (CS, Q3, CoD), Ksharp (CS), HeatoN (CS), FlaSh (SC1/SC2), etc. These were players worth watching. They were the very best at their sport. You could improve your game (whatever that may be) by watching them. With the inception of YouTube/Twitch.tv, everyone feels they should be on the internet. It's so irritating when YouTube recommends I watch some complete newbie with 50 hours of DayZ Standalone gameplay struggling to figure out how to fix his broken leg in the middle of a wall-peeking fuckfest in Berezino. People like Sacriel aren't much better; playing DayZ like you'd play Arma against complete newbies calling out things like, "CONFIRMED KILL, HEADSHOT, TETRIS," with a K:D tracker at the top-right of the screen is just as bad. Once this game gains some ground as far as barricading, persistent storage, and perhaps vehicles, it might be entertaining to watch someone play it. In the meantime, DayZ is very much like golf; boring to watch, fun to play.

First of all sorry for my english. ---You dont need to read this part--- DayZ... I like this game, this was the first in my "life" what came out from my dreams. An apocaliptic survival open world with zombies and its multiplayer. Lets analyse this sentence. "An apocaliptic survival": you have barely nothing, the civilization is destroyed, but the survivors can use the things of the lost world to survive and build the new one, and you are one of them. You must eat, drink, keep yourself warm, etc, and you can do it in the wild and/or by looting the ruins of the old world. "Open world": you dont need to follow a storyline, a questline, or anything else, you can do anything you want, and anything you can, its open, you are free. "With zombies": its too easy and boring just survive the hunger, thirst, cold, and diseases? Be happy, you must fight with the hordes of the living dead too! "And its multiplayer": you are not alone, there are more survivors of the apocalypse, and they are not just programmed NPC-s, they are real people! You can fight with or (mostly) against real players. At the begin, I only missed the real builder part. Of course there was lot of things which ones was a little bit annoying (spawn snipers, vehicle hoarders, too strong weapons (as50...), bugs, more bugs, and even more bugs), but beside them i really enjoyed DayZ. I was in the loot/die circle and I knew that if I die most of the times I will lose everything I had, but that was not bad for me, it was only a challenge to stay alive, to survive. And than I was at that point, the "what to do now" point. So i stopped playing "the game of my life". Then I came back, and there was the Epoch and OverPoch, and it was amazing, there was the real builder part what I missed from this game. Not like the buildings in Origins, no, you can build custom building, freely as you want! With my friends we built little shelters, house parks, and massive bases. We fought wars against other player groups, finally we fought with armed helicopters, tank-like land vehicles, heat-seeking rockets, as50/m107/lapua in everyones hands, if we wanted something we made an AI mission, sold their weapons/vehicles, and with the money we bought anything we want. And after weeks when we fought an other battle, I was in a hill sniping our enemies base. After some minutes I heard a zombie and i tought: "f**k you zombie, not now", with my silenced pistol I killed the zombie and went back to sniping. The zombie was only an annoying thing in a zombie survival game! I felt myself in Battlefield Zombieland... not in DayZ. ---Here starts the part which is matters--- I want my real survival DayZ, and I need your help fellow survivors. If there is any ArmA2OA DayZ mod server which have the parameters what I will write down, than just give me its IP. If there are nothing like this, i want to disguss a DayZ mod/server suggestion, which one can have the real survival DayZ experience, the "apocaliptic survival open world with zombies multiplayer game" experience. So here is my list (feel free to give more ideas, or criticize any of it): - Epoch-like building system: cause I love it, its a little bit like lego, and u should find any building supplies in loot, except vaults - no NPCs! so no traders, no AI missions, no AI patrols, etc, EXCEPT the zombies: you cant interact with them as with real people, and NPC traders are so bad for the DayZ experience, you do not need to find the supplies, for example, if you have too much engine-parts, you can sell them and buy the beans you want, ok, its easy, and practical, but its not part of an apocaliptic world, except if u trade with an other survivor (and hope that he/she or his/her friend will not kill you before or after the trade) - no extra buildings: or with extra buildings, make loot more rare - barricades and vehicle-wrecks on roads can be dismantled, and it gives a random vehicle part: like in Epoch - better zombies: I want them to be as a threat, not just an annoying part of the game, so I suggest to give them more blood-point, or make them invincible except for the headshots, and/or, if possible (without bugs) let them run inside buildings too, maybe with these ideas less zombies should spawn and/or the zombies should spawn slower after killing them - zombies spawn if a player is 1000m close to their spawn point, and even if that player is in a vehicle: cause zombie spawn mostly tells that there are a player, so if zombies will spawn from this far and even when you are in a vehicle, you will dont know that there are an other playr or these zombies are spawned bacause of you - clothes with backpacks: make every cloth (skin) to show the backpack (even the ghuillie), or get rid of which ones arent show it: cause a greater backpack should be a disadvantage in visibility - better hunger, thirst: maybe you should need more time to get hungry or thirsty but u should need more food/drink to fill your hunger/thirst meter, and you should not be able to eat/drink as much as you want at a time - no vehicle tow and lift: just because dont make things easy - auto bloodregen, no self bloodbag, and food doesnt gives you blood: your blood regenerates automatically, if your wounds are clean, other players can use bloodbags to give you blood, but only once at a time, and food doesnt gives you any blood, so you must wait to heal up, or you need an other survivors help - no debug monitor: you dont need to know that things, maybe only an FPS meter - no traces, no death messages, no crosshair, no nameplates: its hardcore, I dont know about the 3rd person view, I think it can be available - 8 or 12 hours between server restarts: maybe 4-6 hours day, and 4-6 hours night - better humanity system and make it count: players should take care about their humanity, maybe everyone should start with 0 humanity, the bandits (-5000) should start with no gear after respawn, and the heroes (+5000) should start with extra gear after respawn, beside that you should get -humanity if you kill or hurt someone and you should get +humanity only for giving bloodbag, and by burying dead characters, but every player should get +humanity only once per server restarts for bloodbag-giving and for the bury, with this you cant be a hero with the "I-shot-you-than-bloodbag/bury-you-a-hundred-times" method - original spawn: no halo spawn, no spawn select, you died, it must count - woodcutting system: like in Epoch - weight system: like in Epoch - no smelting, no gold/silver/copper/tin/aluminium bars, no gems, no ore veins, no ammo supply crates (that random black boxes), no keymakers kit, no hotwire kit: cause you do not need them - rare gps, rangefinder, and nightvision /// weapons and ammo: only the available ones, there should be no more beside these in the server(/mod) - chemlites and roadflares (common, can be mostly anywhere) - smoke grenades (avarage, at any military loot places) - flare m203 (rare, only at hangars, military tents, barracks and heli crashes) - explosives (very rare, only at barracks and heli crashes): rgo grenade, m67 grenade, gp-25he, m203he -

You will probably get many different opinions about which to buy. I would recommend you buy the Arma 2 package to get the mod before you buy the standalone. I have been playing the mod for two years and bought the Standalone the first week it came out. A week later, I started playing the mod again. I periodically go back to the Standalone and only can play for about 10 min. before I get bored. The pros of the mod are many including vehicles, different versions, action, etc. The pros of the Standalone are graphics. Once again, my opinion. If you have the $$$ get both. If not, get the Mod package. Get as many opinions as you can and watch YT vids of both to help with your decision. It really comes down to your style of play.

At this current moment, the mod is still more advanced with vehicles and such. However, it being a mod, its harder to run and is less stable. It also is no longer being updated with new features, unless you get player-made mods for the mod (mod-caption :P ) The standalone is at the moment still a bit behind the mod, but in the end will have tons more features and is much easier to run, has slightly better graphics, and is more stable and secure. It is still being updated weekly by the devs. My personal suggestion is to get the standalone, as it will eventually be far better then the mod. However, after reading what I have said above the choice is obviously yours. :)

That's another thing, riding a bicycle needs to tire you out this time around. A significant imbalance in the bicycles in the mod, was that they were essentially just fuel-less motorcycles. Sure your avatar's legs wobbled about as if he/she was pedaling, but you're not expending any energy no matter how hard you're pedaling or how fast you're going. In fact, I'm pretty sure that you don't lose any additional hunger/thirst (by comparison to motorized vehicles) whilst on a bike in the mod. That and you shouldn't just be able to hop off the bike and have a 100% steady sight picture.
