Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

All opinions about side chat are of course valid. That's why we need to have it optional for the servers to enable it or not.

A realism mod needs to make it as real as possible' date=' and you can't magically chat with people 20km away in a zombie apocalypse.

If at all, make it so you need radios with batteries, which both spawn extremly rare. I think we will see something like this later on.

But for now its side chat off, if you want to chat go on steam or xfire to chat ingame or just hook up on ts, no need for 40+ people to read all that.

For alpha purposes side should be toggleable. Trying to find friendlies is very difficult without it as most people are bandits or just paranoid shoot on sight (like me). If radios will be available, side can be shut down. Batteries should not be rare... I have at least 20 lying around here...

The reality aspect is not that high at this state anyway. Why are there guns and grenades all over the place? Why are most buildings non-enterable? Why can females not wear camo or ghillie suits? It's because it's a mod for a game and it's fricking alpha.

NO. He will just shut down the whole mod with 300.000 players playing it.

ARE YOU RETARDED ? :@

this happened to Minecraft for a while too. Once Notch became popular he was flying all around the world to give interviews and attend events while the game got neglected for a while.

You seem very focused on retardation, it's like a fixation of some sort. Every other post from you is "ARE YOU RETARDED??? RAAAWRR!!"

Cool off chief.

Yeah, realism, because batteries are so hard to find. Besides, cellphone network and the internet should still be up and running as these zombies are "infected. Not to mention CB radio.

But don't get me wrong, I think it's good that the side chat is turend off.

dont y'all think its too much for alpha version?

There's no power. Cellphone towers need power. So do computers.

You people need to understand that when a new update is released, there is always a chance for a memory leak or some other performance crippling feature/bug. 1.7.1.5 is extremely stable and allows us alpha testers to do our job. In my opinion, bear traps will only contribute to the already ridiculous amount of griefing made possible by razor wire/tank traps. I like new content and updates as much as the next guy, but if you see it the way I do, I'm happy to stay with the current build for I get more time actually playing rather than waiting for a hotfix to repair a broken build, as what happened with 1.7.1 and beyond.

I admit batteries wouldn't be the hardest to find (especially if they spawn in grocery stores and gas stations) , but internet and cell phones would not be working... Think about people panicking, hitting telephone poles, power plants abandoned, and etc. There would be no power... Later on you would see small areas of power (hence the "generator" you see very rarely) and eventually small rebuilt AM/FM radio towers.

Anyways, the only reason why I liked side chat is because it worked, reliably. Direct communication chat seems a bit wonky.. I believe my mic works fine all the time from what friends say, but a lot of kids don't have mic's or do not know how to set them up properly and when you see someone suddenly, its easier to yell over the mic than to try and type to them. Mic's should be mandatory in my honest opinion.

This. +1. One of the few guys I've seen who actually understand the concept of alpha builds.

sense?

[Yoshi667 8]

It's ArmA and BattleEye not DayZ. Report the hacker with proof and he will get banned.

Veteran server so no tags or message about who killed me. Guess the only way would be to get a mod to check the logs but I'm not a mod of that server and I don't know one.

Really sucks because it was a good server for my friends and I in regards to play times and pings/amount of players. We worked really hard for the last three days gathering materials and risking our necks for weapons and to just have it all taken away like that is maddening. We really wanted that to be our home server, we aren't hoppers and are looking for somewhere to settle down :(

[lastkossack 2]

I think bear traps will be nerf'd :/

[belgarionnl 22]

why? just crawl

even if you guys place hundreds of traps around your tents/vehicles I will still get to it! since you can only break my bones once!

You people saying where is the update please fucking read the post before just saying shit as seen here it will be monday its sunday currently ffs

Target date is Monday. Backup is for Saturday during offpeak time.

The update will include some new functionality. Currently, it includes some leftover fixes from the end of 1.7.1
