Seperate Arma 2 patches just for DayZ?

[zq7 67]

DayZ has finally gotten the green light from BI and the long awaited standalone is rearing it's ugly head on the horizon.

Isn't it time for DayZ getting a seperate Arma 2 patches from vanilla Arma 2?

A few things I would like to point out:

• DayZ's player base > Arma 2 vanilla player base.
  
• DayZ's interest =/= Arma 2 vanilla interest.
  
• A great way for Rocket and the DayZ devs to go beyond the mod.
  
• Single player is already disabled in DayZ.
  
• Stopping hackers is much times easier (just disable scripting).
  

There are probably a few more things that would make my point even better but I think this sums it pretty well up.

DayZ outgrew Arma 2 vanilla a long time ago, it's finally possible to see changes being made to the 'engine' to optimize this game/mod.

This obviously has to be done so that Arma 2 players can still enjoy the game and aren't left out but I think the 1 million DayZ users deserve to be heard and it's time stop the scripting once and for all.

Thoughts?

Yes, I think you got a entitlement problem.

BIS is providing updates on a daily basis to improve mod support, for a game that is the age where most devs would have abandoned it.

Rocket is providing a free mod, for you to play.

They are going above and beyond.

Fair point although I'm just suggesting somethign not demanding it - but sure I got me some crazy entitlement problems..

I'm not saying that they aren't working their assess of for this mod just that they might want to do something different.

IMO, this is no longer a 'mod', mods are not developed by the software studio that made the game.. this is more like a free DLC now, ijs.

Just so you know, patches 95724 and 95777 actually disabled a few things that scripters use to spawn items - but it got accidentally disabled and in the latest patch (95819) it's back, mainly because it broke some of the other mods and how they spawned vehicles.

In the end, I think it might in BI best interest to do this.. so the 1 million DayZ players can play in peace.
