Died and spawned and died again tonight and I think I'm kinda done for a while. Too much jank and some not quite refined elements (no reason to not kill every player you see, and in fact you should kill everyone because they'll likely kill you) are hurting my enjoyment a bit. Still an amazing mod, and I can't wait for a proper stand alone, or for someone else to turn this concept into a complete more polished game.

Like tonight, I tried to save my so close to dead character, but without a transfuse and no luck on my loot spawns (all i needed was fucking matches) three nights in a row it was grim. I was blacking out constantly, couldn't see anything while running through Cherno at night and randomly losing blood until at 400 I just died. :( Naturally I had decent kit beyond the lack of matches, I even had a Coyote backpack for the first time. Ah well.

Then I respawn near Cherno on a daytime server and get shot running past the town. All I had on me was a hatchet. So that's annoying, but I respawn again and I'm near Elektro and 10 minutes later I take a bullet in the head from... somewhere and die. I didn't even have a fucking hatchet this time. :P

There has never been a need for high tech anti hacker software since this game fulfills a niche role in the gaming realm.

Now Bohemia is feeling the heat.

[Beads]

If my legs were randomly broken and then everyone on the server was teleported to the debug plains, did the server I was on get hit by a hacker?

I haven't had that specific one happen to me yet but I'd say yes.

[Beads]

Probably.

I thought something weird was going on because when I joined and walked out of a building in Solnichniy, there was a helicopter and 3 bodies. Managed to get an ALICE pack and a silenced G3 with 6 mags. I guess it was too good to be true...

[Piercedveil]

Can BattlEye or Bohemia really do anything about the hackers since the script stuff sounds like its part of ArmA? A patch of some kind so that the server is not so vulnerable?

there's a lot of things they could do but it would require a lot of time and labor, something they would rather give to arma3

[TheNiX]

So in a ridiculous stroke of good fortune, I logged on tonight and managed to snag myself yet another M4 SD. Technically still Day 0 for this character and I'm pretty much back up to full speed with my M4 & SVD. No sign of any NVGs but if my luck with the spawns holds up, it can't be long!

This ruins the experience. Rocket just needs to remove everything but the shittiest of weapons.

The pace of this feels too fast at the moment.

You need to eat and drink every 20 minutes.
Zombies running like maniacs.
Equipment being somewhat overly available once you learn the spawn points/building types.
Never ending player sprinting.

Assuming this isn't staged, this is how you hack. None of this mass killing or player transporting crap.

i swear eternal fealty to you, o' great hacker.

yes, there's an odd balance to the game where some things are ultra realistic and then others not so...which is a shame. Personally I'd prefer time went quicker too al la GTA/RDR that way the eating & drinking would make a bit more sense.

[goonergaz]

This ruins the experience. Rocket just needs to remove everything but the weakest of weapons.

this really...or at least make the better guns ultra rare. still beta and all that...

Yeah I've been saying for ages that you get thirsty far to quickly and it seems a bit silly with the game being in real time.

[EVIL]

Fixed.

Also i'd rather have the time stay as it is and ad a system where you need to consume 2 liters of fluid each day, just in real life. drink only 1 liter for several days and you can become severely dehydrated, risking death

[Mr Nightman]

well on the way to meet my buddy who spawned around balota, from up north, I found a complete in tact uaz! Drove it down, we fueled up, and took off to make camp somewhere remote. The game has officially started for my group!

[The M.O.B]

Suddenly, Lingor.

That area at the bottom right must be a death trap, it's just a giant open field with no trees or anything.

I played Lingor once before with regular Arma and it looked great.

One problem I see with Lingor in DayZ

Bridges will be camped as it is the only way to get from island to island without a water vehicle. Unlike Cherneraus, Lingor is full of narrow chokepoints between islands which just screams sniper heaven. An interesting difference from Chernaraus but I don't think it's a good difference.

Sniping is easy enough, giving snipers narrow lanes to snipe will be awful.

[Photolysis]

this really...or at least make the better guns ultra rare. still beta and all that...

From what I can tell regarding the loot spawns, both of those are extremely rare (something like 0.11% chance of spawning, similar to NVGs, which is why I couldn't believe my luck.

The SVD is so rare that lots of people are willing to make ridiculous trades for it.

I agree that military weapons in general should be rarer - I'd like to see more lower tier weapons, especially melee - but in this particular case it was just a piece of very good luck.

Also i'd rather have the time stay as it is and ad a system where you need to consume 2 liters of fluid each day, just in real life. drink only 1 liter for several days and you can become severely dehydrated, risking death

I'd like some refinement of the system as well. Dehydration should be linked to what you're doing and the time of day. When low your vision should start to blur, you lose the ability to eat, and at dangerously low levels you should only be able to walk and start to faint randomly.

Just hope this wont split the fan base like dota1 vs dota2 vs hon vs lol

Yeah, I was just being lazy and hoping someone else would create it :) Thanks.

[Photolysis]

One other feature I'd really like to see is the ability to customise weapons from finding (rare) parts around.

So instead of say finding an M4 with a red dot sight you'd find the basic gun (possibly have a gun with attachment as a very rare spawn), and be able to fit attachments such as IR laser sights, holographic sights, suppressors, under-barrel grenade launchers etc.

I'd also like it if you had to repair weapons you found to get them working, rather than finding fully functioning stuff that's been exposed to the elements. Having most weapons spawn with rusted barrels seems like a reasonable solution without overcomplicating it.

Does anyone actually find a way to effectively remove the graphical clitches? Or does anyone know when the next patch is rolling out?
The game is nearly unplayable at the moment especially in citys and military camps.

[blahblah...blah]

I haven't played this in about two weeks, a little bit tired of it. Shall I try Lingor? Are there some UK servers running it?

Enabling and then disabling V-sync works for me every time. If that doesn't do it, restart.

[KPunk]

none of these tricks seem to work for me, included the new popular flush command. hopefully this standalone game doesn't effect the people that play the beta. we should still have full support until the standalone is released, even though it already seems to have slowed down.

what is a flush command?

[blahblah...blah]

Two weeks away from the game and my nerves have gone to shit. Just finished a fairly successful loot in Cherno (well, loads of equipment and a pistol with plenty of ammo, but no real primary!), ran out into the woods, and aborted at the first sound of shooting, even though it was way away from me and not a threat. I need to work back up to feeling over-confident!

[Woo-Fu]

Most of the graphics fixes are just flushes in disguise.

What I've found will work most every time is this:

Get to where the corruption is constantly on your screen. Exit the game. Restart the game. Voila. It seems that if I start in area where I'd already see the corruption I don't actually get the corruption.

Oh, btw, new arma2 beta patch just hit, 95724. http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php

[95691] Changed: buildRequired is now limited by the server version, server can never require a higher version than its own.

[LiquidMetal14]

Wait, there are some servers running a different map?

Yes but not every server obviously and from what I read here, it won't save your progress as it's not officially official yet.

Awesome, I just hope that it's not using the ridiculously clunky Arma engine. Maybe Arma 3 is better but I can't remember the last time I played a game with such bad FPS movement and controls

the Stalker engine might have been pretty good for this game actually, its just the right balance of simulation and fun for gunplay and it can render huge maps

Arma is Bohemia's engine.. so I wouldnt expect a change. Stand a lone though hopefully he can turn off scripts and such so hackers arent so bad.

Arma isn't the engine, it is the game built on top of the engine.

The engine is Real Virtuality 3 for Arma2 and Real Virtuality 4 for Arma3.

The largest question in my mind is how much of the almost entirely script-driven nature of Arma2 comes from the engine and how much is just the game design? This is a very important question when considering how well they'll be able to implement anticheat in the standalone.

They haven't decided whether it will be on RV3 or RV4 at this point.

you actually like the ArmA 2 engine?

It really doesn't matter whether I like it or not.

What you are hoping for has absolutely zero chance of happening.

I never said it will happen, I just said it would have been cool.

edit: oh you mean new engine and not Stalker? well yeah, but if they're using Arma2/3, won't they just not be able to stop hackers without modifying how the engine handles the client?
