NoRailgunner 0 Posted May 22, 2012 Zombies and survival themes are now quite popular.... but if this hype disappears only few of these players will stay with A2OA/A3. Imo its a lucky situation and I just hope that Rocket/BIS will use the experience/infos for A3. Just think about selecting a faction (GreekResistance/IranianForces/NATO) and survive/adapt/win on Limnos TvT/Coop/all mixed mp missions.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maturin 12 Posted May 22, 2012 Please put the Time Since Save reading back on the de-bug monitor! I had a character come back to life FOUR times last night, because the server couldn't keep up with me. I was also jumping back 200m in-between server changes. I used to be able to just wait for the timer to reset, and be absolutely sure that a glitch isn't going to rob me of my brand new item or dump me into a horde of zombies because of a failed save.

Yes, I can easily imagine a warfare-like MP mission with a persistence system similar to Dayz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pathetic_berserker 4 Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) Interesting. I can't speak for OFP, but what about VBS? Seems that ArmA 2 is based on VBS and not the other way around. VBS was actualy developed originaly from OFP, a member from the band Seven wich featured on the OFP soundtrack stepped up with a proposal, hence BIA, and VBS. And ever since they have been helping each other to various degrees , wich explains why ArmA incorporated many VBS functions Personaly I have no problem with something like DayZ becoming an offical mod. Thematic 'modern military' mods are created by the community with relative ease. In fact its probably better if BIS focused on mods that were a bit thematicly different as these are the ones that often lead to expansions in engine functions wich gives the community more opportunities to mod and creates this cool creative loop.

Variable 322 Posted May 23, 2012 What's the thing with the getting sick because of low temperature? Just to make things clear, people don't get sick with flue and cough because of low temperature! They get sick because of viruses and germs. That's it. Cold can get you sick only in hypothermia, but that's not what is being simulated in the latest update. Apart from that - great mod! You managed to turn a Zombie hater to zombie lover :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krycek 349 Posted May 23, 2012 Ok I like the temperature thingie but if Rocket keeps adding survival features this will turn into a Bear Grylls mod.It's been so long since I actually bothered with zombies in towns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[aps]gnat 28 Posted May 23, 2012 SHIT Shit shit !! Clicked the RESPAWN in the menu by accident instead of OPTIONS !! Not happy ! ............ I have NEVER died ingame to that point :( .... lost everything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sickboy 13 Posted May 23, 2012 Shit! That's too bad!!! (Quite an achievement still being alive!) Perhaps put a ticket up on their tracker requesting removal of the Respawn button, or changed behavior (confirmation requirement etc) :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigMorgan 11 Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) Heh, I managed to click respawn once during a Warfare game while logged in as admin. Needless to say the rage I caused amongst my mates was much worse than losing a character. EDIT: To avoid a double post, let me ask: Are there any DayZ servers out there permitting some basic mods? Mostly I'm looking to be able to use J.S.R.S. and Oktane's noBlur, but Shack Tac movement and TruMod GUI would be great to have in this too.

On_Sabbatical 11 Posted May 23, 2012 Yes,maybe devs can create a dialog after you press RESPAWN in which you re whether to continue or not .... i lost a rangefinder cuz of that ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beagle 684 Posted May 23, 2012 Yes,maybe devs can create a dialog after you press RESPAWN in which you re whether to continue or not .... i lost a rangefinder cuz of that !Well what do you need a rangefinder for in a gameworld that has 400m viewdistance at best.

Are You Really Sure? Are You Absolutely Positive, because it's not trouble to cancel now. Last chance. After this all your gear is gone and you are left in the game as the day you were born with nowt but your pride (Y/N). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nikiller 18 Posted May 23, 2012 hi, Are there any DayZ servers out there permitting some basic mods? Mostly I'm looking to be able to use J.S.R.S. and Oktane's noBlur, but Shack Tac movement and TruMod GUI would be great to have in this too. Agree for the tac move it really lacks especially when you play with it since a long time. While I am at it, some others client addons like GDT plants could increase fps. Maybe ask permission to directly implement those addons to the mod? At least the tac move would really help to not be stuck in building while you have 30 zombies who want to eat you :D And PLEASE allow sound mods :pray: on servers. cya. Nikiller.

Franklin 0 Posted May 23, 2012 BigMorgan, I had originally allowed all those mods on my US Hardcore servers, but there was an issue about the way certain information was saved to the hive. It was screwing everything up, and caused the developers some big headaches trying to figure out the source. Until they can find a way to store info correctly with or without the addons, they will not be back. We may not see that till beta, or ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BadJokeHD 1 Posted May 23, 2012 Hey, It seems that this is the right thread to post in, if not please correct me. I just wanted to say that I wanted a game like this, where you are placed in a realistic apocalyptic world full of zombies, since I can remember. And now, that I found such a game, I'll do everything to play that. I just bought a new PC and the full game, just because of this mod. I want to support Bohemia Interactive, that they are so close with their community and allow such things like mods *cough* EA *cough* BF3 *cough*.
