Really enjoying what you have done here guys :thumbsup: Played some last night was lucky enough to get a chinook up and running,did a few missions of picking people up and transporting them around but a bandit killed me near NE airfield...ah well....had some fun and really loved the lighting in the streets now the whole atmosphere changes to another level and for me makes playing in the night more of a pleasure than a pain and the zombies are definitely a threat in those numbers. :beans:

Got on this morning and met up with 2 friendlies in Cherno (Lukus and JohnnyRodger) and got a little bird up and running and we managed to get ourselves some nice guns from heli crash sites and even found another little bird which we was in the middle of refueling before the server went down :(

Look forward to playing some more with v1.04 and maybe the little birds will be there still or another db wipe? :P

Oh and did i read that after you clear an area of zombies they shouldn't respawn for an hour?....not sure that was right as we took care of zombies in an area and they respawned quite quickly?

Anyway.....see you all on the server some more soon, beans all round :beans:

Cannot for the LIFE of me get this thing to work. Created an OA shortcut to directly launh the mod, but it says I have the wrong version of Arma? I have used Dayz commander AND sixlauncher to make sure I was up to date but still not working. Am i missing something?

EDIT: never mind, it was because of steam i was having the issue...still, a lot of fucking around just to get this thing going.

in case anyone else has any issues, try this link: http://www.tacticalgamer.com/dayz-mod-installation-support/186539-how-use-beta-patches-steam-version-arma2.html

This is a first. I will look into getting a standalone launcher for it

This MOD sounds fucking great, begs the question - why hasn't Rocket already done some of this stuff, a weapons list revision at least.

Dont know but we have been asked by rocket about the changes. So he may be taking a couple of them for either standalone or dayz mod. Also in his Eurocon video, he stated we may be testing out things for him. But dont know

Good.

I am very interested in testing this mod.

I hope beans will rain down on your angelic soul.

Can i suggest making some loot less common? After all you claim this mod too be harder than the original dayz. I find certain loot in normal dayz to be way too common. Like hunting knife, hatchet, bandages, flares and chemlights, macaroni ammo, painkillers and so on. I would suggest changing half the macaroni pistols with a g17 and half the macaroni ammo with g17 ammo. That would make finding a pistol just as easy, but finding the right ammo for that pistol twice as hard.

Other suggestions:

-Put watches on dead zombies(3% chance) instead of the shop.

-Make the higher slot backpacks more rare. Alice packs are too comon in normal dayz.

-Remove barbed wire from the game, it's just an annoyance.

-I would personally leave the rangefinder in the game, you cant shoot while looking through them anyway.

-Increase the distance when zombies start spawning (200m in normal dayz) to 400m so it's harder to tell from a distance if someone is in a town or you spawned them yourself. You could perhaps do this to specific zombie spawns rather then all of them to decrease load on the server. EDIT: Just noticed on page 4 the spawn distance is 800meters, good :) tip: update the first post and put changes in there?

-Decrease spawn chance of most common loot by 50%. (bandages, painkillers, hatchets, hunting knifes, flares, chemlights)

-Decrease spawn of food and drink by 20%.

-Change the spawn mechanics to avoid farming. In normal days you can empty a building of it's loot, drop the unwanted loot outside and wait 5 minutes at a minimum of 30meters away from the building for new loot to spawn. I suggest changing this to 10 minutes minimum.

Just my 2 cents.

Its a star clear night and its pitch black. The night is one big camper tent as everyone waits for the others to pull out a chemlight or flashlight. Server laggy as fuck atm.

[toxicsludge 406]

Yeah don't know if it's just me but I tried to play last nite, was so laggy it was unplayable :(

I will get the night time fixed. It shouldnt that pitch black

This should be fixed in 1.05

[Delta Smoke 01 765]

Gonna jump on and test this now. not sure i like the removal .50 snipers, but the rest looks golden. I could PM you my personal feedback if you are still testing :)

[Venzire 76]

We're still testing it and adding even more features!

[Delta Smoke 01 765]

Had a quick hour and a half on this. Here's what i found. The lights in towns and citys was pretty cool. Im sure your working illuminating the actual lamp posts too so thats a definite +.

The removal of torch for chemlights i did not like or understand. Unless pre-DayZ we were all at a rave, we would be more likely to have a torch at hand, no ?

Upon asking in side chat what people thought about new and total darkness , around 5 people said just boost gamma. This to me says fail. I think you should put the torch back in.

I finally reached cherno and had a wander round. There were literally hundreds of zombies around. At first i thought this was cool, untill i realized there was no loot. After waiting a good 30 mins, tin cans began to appear.

After 45 mins, i finally got a can of coke. There were only 7 people playing at this point. If the server filled it would be unplayable and likely crash. Upon being noticed as a dayz mod while chatting to a few people about the potential of this, i was promptly told to stfu, leave and go fix the real mod (people still dont get what we mods do :S we moderate posts on the forums lol ><). Nothing new there then :)

To summarize, you guys are doing well with this. However, you need to realize the boundries in which arma 2 can stretch. There is a reason why rocket doesnt have hundreds of zeds around at once :)

Hope you dont take any of this the wrong way, this is just my constructive criticism. I really hope you guys can iron this out, as it will breathe new life into the mod :)

Thanks for the feedback. We are always trying to make it better. I will keep in mind about the darkness and other things

the loot not spawing IS bieng fix in the 1.05 patch today

[duggedank 28]

This is definately looking good guys. I actually didn't expect you to release something this quick ;)

Good job proving me wrong, I'll probably try this out after you've ironed out the worst lag issues and stuff.

Its definitely a work in progress. I know saying more players would cause more lag, but the more the better as we can fix it faster.

[Fonziе 159]

Seems more and more awesome with the new stuff. Will play more today when you release the new version so I actually have the chance to get some stuff.
