they don't know all alien abduction experiences can be explained by people thinking saving private ryan was a documentary

Wow what a clusterfuck. Is this at least as moddable as the Arma 2 version? Hopefully modders can save this from the usual Rocket idiocy and make it fun.

Because Rocket, that's why. Fuckin' jerk.

I'm going to go ahead and preemptively buy this poo poo, because I actually want to play the standalone later and I know they're gonna up the price the minute this is remotely playable. But I'm not going to do it with my happy face on. No siree bob.

I'm literally rolling on the floor laughing this.

You know that Rocket is a troll, whose development is a disastrous pisstake of ineptitude, arrogance and idiocy - but you're going to throw money at him anyway?

Bravo, sir.

Eventually it will be moddable apparently, but otherwise rocket is too scared of people cheating.

Which is funny because i saw someone posted this to the DayZ subreddit before it disappeared:

Nah, ESP was never going away. It won't be server wide ESP but it's just not going away.

The 'cheating' that was (allegedly) prevented was ARMA2 script injection, i.e stuff like making the entire server commit suicide or dance Gangam style.

Edit: ditto for wallhacking and aimbots, I'm impressed cheaters worked this poo poo out so quickly but at the end of the day I guess 'minor alterations from the ARMA2 client-side engine' also means 'minor alterations to make ARMA2 cheats viable for the new engine'.

Some cans are clickable and then you click eat, others require you to drag a can opener over on it to open it first. Some people are saying other tools ie knifes, screwdrivers etc are working, try for yourself if you have other tools.

I played a bit today, and despite the messages of starvation and exhaustion getting spammed on my screen, I managed to walk around for over an hour - without food, water, anything. I guess people are running around a bit too much. The real problem is that loot isn't apparently respawning, so you have a hard time finding anything to eat and drink to extinguish your needs.

To throw my two cents in, while this may be a hella buggy mess so was Day Z the mod in addition to being full of hackers and it was still the most fun I've had playing a game this year.

From my experience playing it so far if he fixes the loot spawning and the exhaustion mechanics that'll improve it to the level of "a working Day Z".

This game is totally retarded and I'm having a freaking blast. You just have to accept repeated, nonsensical/hilarious deaths. I spawned in last night, saw four flashlights being shone sorta wildly all around this little compound area about 300m ahead of me, so I figured "I need some friends I'll head over there". As I got closer I heard little snippets of voice chat but couldn't really figure out what they were on about, then I got around the wall, and suddenly I realize two of the flashlights are still on and belong to dead people. Suddenly someone sprints by me yelling in directional "HE'S A KILLER OH GOD DON'T TRUST HIIIIIIIIIM" and then some dude jumped out of the dark and beat me half to death with a crowbar.

I spawned as a black woman and immediately upon spawning I saw a man searching a house along the coast with a flashlight. I ran inside, shut the door, and then beat him to death with my fists shouting "YOU'RE IN THE WRONG NEIGHBORHOOD" over direct chat. Once he fell to the ground, my character said "I feel like having a drink." Cold-blooded and an alcoholic, good pairing.

Considering there is gently caress all spawns, that guy must be pissed. Or he hacked the gear somehow.

not sure what the deal is with books right now, but I carry a couple on me when I have the space. Should I find a slotted flannel shirt on the ground, I can leave a pristine copy of Wuthering Heights or Call of the Wild inside!

As for pens, they write text notes on scraps of paper. Any message from Dark Souls is fun to leave laying about.

Hahahaha yeah, you're figuratively rolling on the floor laughing. You're literally sitting on your rear end silently typing about how a stranger spends his money. If it will give you peace of mind; disregarding sawsuck (and why wouldn't you), I'm probably the person in this thread with the most money to toss away on bullshit. My fiscal situation is fine. Thank you for worrying.

I've had a lot of fun with DayZ. I might have a lot of fun on the SA. It's worth a shot, seeing as the current product tells me nothing about six months down the line. Too bad Rocket didn't wait until he had a more finished product, but as I love ARMA I don't feel bad about throwing Bohemia of all companies some of my cash.

Honestly Rust is way more fun. Its stupid because everyone is jumping aboard this bandwagon (I bought it too, I'm part of the problem), and most people are overlooking rust, which if what they like abotu DayZ is pvp than hoenstly rust provide a much much better enviornment for it, while also letting you establish your own little colonies.

I am just really in love with rust right now.
