That is sad. What is even the purpose of this game if you server hop for everything you have? You take all the thrill out about finding nice gear and then being scared to lose it. You make it like: I died, ok. Now I server hop for 5 mins to get it back. You wont even discover map and places, because reason you go somewhere in Dayz is loot. Loot is essential for this game and if you take the essence out by server hopping, you are left with nothing more but wasteland on Arma 2.5 engine with couple of guns and no vehicles (yet). And I agree with elf cakes. In mod times, idiots were quite easy to repair or they just stayed quiet. But now there was a flood which makes them unmanagable. It becomes pretty tiring to read same shit over and over again.

First of all no hummer! Some of the newer cars there are authenticity/immersion killers right there. As well some of the larger military vehicles should be rare like the Ural was in the Mod. Do not want everyone driving around in Dakar Rally vehicles now do we. Also liked the mud mechanics in those Spin Tires screenshots. Maybe something in DayZ could be implemented like some cars cannot drive up some hills/dirt roads/swamps etc or they will wear out quicker. I do like anything before the 90s for civ vehicles and maybe some newer ones that are rare. I've also seen somewhere in a thread a suggestion that vehicles be almost everywhere but parts and fuel are rare. What do you guys think? My two cents.. Sobaka TYS

A beginner's tip that would've saved me if only I knew. If you get sepsis infection, use a disinfecting wipe, then apply bandage to the wound. If you don't have any and need time, try to find antibiotics. Otherwise you will die. Last time I played the Moon was on my South West. Not sure if it's always there. I didn't have time to find the Pole Star so I had to find another solution to get around. Other tip that helped me. Look at the map of Chernarus and try to memorize the big lines of it. The vehicles are located at different spots obviously, unless the server is freshly spawned or the vehicle got destroyed. But try to remember the bigger towns and their location. It's necessary knowledge IMO.

"However, most players I talk to all have the same feelings on one thing. There are not enough ranged weapons." lol fix the goddamn desync and add vehicles thats what most players feel still nice weapons :)

I like this function a lot. But does it take in consideration, driving vehicles and or rubber-banding etc?

This ^ Dean isn't an idiot, we all know that. While 10 minutes is very short and completely ruins the aspect of long group fights (I had a group fight with my team for over an hour yesterday in KAMYSHOVO!), it's also a PLACEHOLDER! The servers are lagging; We all know the servers suck right now and no one wants to play on laggy servers. Temporary fix? Remove dead bodies. You all seem to prefer perma-bodies over fixed servers? This will most likely just stay here until they find the real problem behind the servers (which would include rubber-banding, "RECEIVING", etc.). "but I'm not lagging! These servers are perfect for me!" Good for you! Sadly, not everyone is having the same luck, and they're aiming for the majority of player's here. Anyway; Didn't anyone play DarkRP on Garry's Mod?! NLR - New Life Rule; It was a rule implemented to allow admins to ban any player that came back to the location they died at for revenge, reinforcements, etc... It's supposed to be realistic! If I died IRL and was reincarnated, the chance of me wandering back to some weapon arsenal with vehicles and money that I had personally stored in my previous life would be such a small percentage! Therefore; the chance of you getting a good spawn and being able to get back to your body in time should also be a small percentage! :D Either way; ALPHER PLACEHOLDER!

And what about all the ones that do not? What do you propose we do about them? The "effect on the community" in the mod was dozens and dozens of rogue admins running "join and get kicked" servers, passwording their servers for their clan and friends, randomly restarting the server when firefights didn't go their way or in order to "roll back" vehicle positions if one of their vehicles got stolen, etc. It was a mess and I hope the developers can find a way to avoid it for the SA. Opening up a bunch of tools right now would be a mistake imo.

have they confirmed " Air vehicles" yet? The major issuse with the island is: No variation in terrain or locations. Have you seen one town or village you have seen them all. This gets very boring after some time. When you know everthing on the island looks the same and there is absolutly nothing more to explore. This need to be fixed and the island needs so many new static object buildings or new epic locations for players to explore. Players love to find new locations that does not look the same as the last town/village the just passed by. The ship wreck on the north coast is the only new Static Object building for players to explore at the moment. :o I suggest at least 20 new Static Object buildings. The map needs an extrem makeover, the leveldesigner need to do alot of work and the 3D-Artists need to make a lot of new Static Objects building etc. Then make enviorment work with the gameplay, yes very time consuming. I know. :blush:

69.39.239.141:3357 This server is ran by an admin named Smooth137, he is a french canadian that abuses admin, kicks people for killing him or his girlfriend. spawns vehicles left and right for him self and Gear. this player does not play or run a server fairly. this server if you see it i advise you to stay away, its named QC/FR/US |||REAL SURVIVAL||| *bring 3 friends = 1 full breifcase* (active admin) |MEGA LOOT [100 barracks]+ GOOD LOADOUT + Lots of choppers&cars. DO NOT PLAY THIS SERVER ADMIN ABUSES. NOT A FUN SERVER TO PLAY IN. this server SUCKS

I was thinking about this in the context of setting the edge of the map. A combination of natural barriers (rock faces etc) and a radiation zone with a damaged nuclear reactor visible off in the distance would be a plausible solution to the current rolling hills of nothing. Air vehicles might complicate this.

Instead of making a lot of threads about one thing here is a list of my suggestions *Will Be Updated Randomly* Some of this may have been mentioned before but this is a compilation remember! Terrain- Caves (have found a few but they aren't really caves) Rivers More Dense Forests Snowy Mountains in the North! (give me a reason to want cold gear!) More large islands (think about Utes off the east coast) Some more flatland's down south (add canals for irrigation, and water travel) Gameplay- More Crafting abilities using what we already have (i.e. Burlap Sack and Sand for sandbags/Wraping guns in burlap) More immersion (some radios in houses can have batteries in them/can be turned on to hear broadcasts telling the story of what happened) More player activated noises, the damn twigs in the woods that snap should be animal/player activated Foraging/Hunting/Fishing/Cannibalism Barricading Houses Clan system (just maybe a way to organize your people in-game) Pinning a note to someones chest after they are dead (with a nail) (maybe even when they are detained 0.o) Making bases and all of that good jazz Only getting wood by actually hitting a tree with an axe of any sorts, thus making noise Only way to keep a weapon on your back is with a sling Ability to take two long firearms instead of a melee and a long gun 9I wouldn't use it as I like my fireaxe :P) Towing boats with a trailer and a vehicle "Crafting" Vehicles (meaning taking parts out of a lot of vehicles around the map to make a vehicle) Fortifying vehicles with armor made out of scraps of metal and stuff Pulling materials off of pre-placed buildings (possible?) Reloading Ammo Making gunpowder out of Saltpeter, Charcoal, and Sulfur Make Bullets/Casings with Molds and metal (Im lost on getting primers, maybe have them spawn in gun shops or something?) Ability to craft clothing Players body comes back as a Zombie NO MORE RUINGING GEAR WHEN I KILL PEOPLE (DAMN YOU DEAN) :) Make Gump Running (look at avatar) normal running style (obviously a joke) Items- Barges (not large (think of a ferry) but something that can carry vehicles using the attachTo command to attach to the deck of it (could work for helicopters) Craft-able Raft Craft-able Canoe Pontoons to make docks for bases Static weapons with no ammo at military bases (ammo could be found but VERY rare)(For people to fortify their clan bases, think of a emplaced DshKm or AT gun) Ability to pack up inflatable rafts or boats (motors would be separate) Ultra Light Aircraft (helicopters) Hang Gliders More Weapons (duh) More types of clothing (think loose clothing for more concealment (Vasiley Tzitsev in Enemy At the Gates comes to mind) -Dusters/Cowboy Hats/Belts/Cowboy Boots/Face Bandanas/Hip Holsters (wanna Clint Eastwood this shit(Obviously a joke(but would be cool to have this stuff) Ability to craft clan patches (maybe cloth and a sewing kit? *using squad.xml of course) Kevlar Vests(stop up to 5.56) and Plate Carries (plate found separately) that stop up to 7.62x39 MOAR HATS AND MASKS Muzzle-loaders/Black Powder Weapons Craft-able Hanging Rope SWORDZ (More like machettes but whatevs if they add eastern-euro replicas)

I'd be happy with a bicycle. Motor vehicles are difficult to repair and maintain post-apocalypse, but bicycles are relatively easy and should be more plentiful.

This is a suppressed M4. Suppressor drops 30-40 dBA from normal firing signature and makes it much harder to estimate the shooter's firing position. Ideal for use inside buildings and vehicles.

I have a question, will you also be doing minecraft style updates in the future eg: an update specifically based on an element of the game for example guns or vehicles or map additions or will you be adding content randomly as it becomes available.

Keep in mind helicopters are far more valuable vehicles then biplanes ingame. I think biplane could be potential civilian aircraft you could find in large barns in NW fields of Chenarus, rather in risky areas of the airfields. Their limited landing areas also offer better opportunities for people to steal it, rather then try shooting it down on sight and settlers of distant camps and Utes island would find this vehicle useful.

Same. As soon as SA was released i deleted the mod. Didn't see the point. But now after a month or so, the SA is really simple and boring. Seems more polished and areas, but due to its early alpha state, there just isnt much to do at the moment. First thing i noticed after going back to the mod is all the bullshit zombies lol annoying hell outta me. Can't wait for the SA to get more content, and possibly vehicles :P I can see the mod still being popular for at least another year til the alpha changes to beta or something.

The concept of the helicopter crash sites in the original mod was great in that it added a randomized variable to the game world that rewarded players for exploring the environment on their own accord instead of mindlessly following a map. I feel that this concept should be expanded further in a smaller form factor through randomized survivor corpses. -- When a server starts up/restarts, a good number of survivor corpses will be placed all throughout the game world. These corpses can be found in or around anywhere that loot can be normally found, such as houses in towns and cities, fire stations, military barracks, markets, so on and so forth. -- The loot you find on a corpse will be reminiscent to the environment the corpse is located in or around, and the loot will typically consist of some of the better possible items you could find in that environment. A corpse found in a small town may have a small backpack filled with canned food and water, minor equipment, additional clothing and possibly a civilian weapon; a corpse found near a military site may have a larger backpack, an assault vest, bulkier clothing, rare equipment, an ammunition box and possibly a military-grade weapon. -- Examining a survivor corpse and taking their loot into context can tell how this survivor met their ultimate fate. An emaciated corpse with empty cans of food and water probably died of starvation; a bloodied corpse with gunshot wounds to the back and a journal entry depicting an uneasy relationship with another survivor could point to a betrayal of trust. -- The "flies surrounding a corpse" sound effect from the original mod could be implemented again as a means of more easily locating a nearby survivor corpse that would otherwise be concealed by the environment. -- Not all corpses will be face down on the ground. Some can be slouched back into a chair, huddled up in a corner, leaning over a table or counter, found within vehicles, or have been torn asunder by the infected. -- These corpses will be more common than helicopter crash sites, but still relatively uncommon. You may find one of these survivor corpses in every other town, and usually one or two in each given city. These corpses will serve the same functionality of helicopter crash sites, but on a smaller form factor. These would promote the more extensive exploration of one's environment in order to find and reap the benefits of loot found on these corpses, and the more unique characteristics of each corpse and how they passed can help add an additional layer of immersion and dread to the game world. This all may sound redundant in comparison to the survivor corpses of actual players, but I feel this would better help promote the exploration of areas where players aren't as likely to explore/die within themselves.

Also no auto-hover, even if it is a real thing. No automatic parachutes either. You should have to equip that shit and it replaces your backpack. Anyway, choppers aren't coming for a while if they are coming at all. Do we have any confirmed mentions of Rocket's plans for vehicles? Battle-bus? Specific engine components?

Change log date: 2014-20-20 #Added a new Trader at hero camp. This hero requires to have SUPER humanity (50000+) And will have Additional weapons/armed vehicles(tanks maybe? - you never know!) that cannot be found anywhere else! #Added new missions to the pack. -6 Helicopter patrols all over the map. Be ware! They can shoot! -4 Paratrooper drops that happen randomly (consisting of 8 paratroopers). Watch the sky! You never know when they will come for you!

i heard they pass wording them while they sort the vehicles out

Yep the vehicles need and are getting a full overhaul. Personally (although i would love to see it) years of sim racing have taught me that manual clutch just isnt possable on a keyboard. Sure its doable, but it would never feel right at all. Best bet, like others have said is a semi-auto box. Clutch is taken care of but shifting is done by the player. As for helis, i dont like the idea. They are overpowered by a mile, and not just for picking people up. You can scout the entire map edge in around 10 mins. Find and destroy any camps out there in 20. Then be back at base after checking all the mill spawns in 30. What i would like to see is a plane....like the AN-2 that found its way into a lot of mod servers. The advantage/dissadvantage with a plane is its inability to vtol. If they made it a lot harder to land, and the distance required to take off and land was uped, then it couldnt be used the way helis are. Sure you could get from north to south pretty quick, but you are limited on where you can safely land :)

Truth is, I hate killing people its not my way of play style. If I wanted to make an attempt at killing someone, I usually hop on a good wasteland server (no tws) guns and ammo are plenty with vehicles galore. To the OP... I usually try to make every encounter a friendly one. It may be still be hard to communicate with some people but they don't deserve to be shot just because they can't speak english or know where talk button is. If I have spare gear and I'm on the coast I share my gear...maybe even give a bambi my only pristine can opener, or even give him/her 90% of my gear and show them where some water is. Some people just want to kill you and that is that :D
