Question: since a majority of the buildings/homes are closed off, are we going to be allowed inside more of the buildings before the stand alone is released? if so, will there be more spawn points added, or spawn points spread out more?

So many people seem to be playing this. Im interested but I hear it's a pain to install?

some people have issues with the install (like myself), but others get it up and running with no issues. i actually had a few different problems, but all the answers were found on the forums. compared to most installs where you just press install and you're up and running, this one does look a bit more complecated to some people. once you're in your first few tries of the game, it all becomes worth it.

perma death, paranoia, scavanging or hunt for food, having to eat/drink to survive, have to watch your body temp, repair and opperate vehicles (atv, boats, helicoptors, etc),  etc, etc, etc... it's a pretty sick concept. dude just seems to want to make the game as real as he can. it gets better with almost every patch imo.

Do not get rid of the hive servers... that would be a bad move..

Part the pull of the game for most people is the fact the game is persistant accross all servers.. Do not get rid of this..

This mod does indeed (or did - haven't played for a while) work with Arma II Free.

You need the Chernarus map from either Arma II or the free version, and the game engine from Operation Arrowhead which can be picked up on Steam for around £11.

Ok, it's not totally free, but it's the most fun I ever had for the price of a pizza and a beer.

Not at all when you use the Six Launcher.

I see the live stream is scheduled to take place tomorrow, on the 19th, but about what time specifically? It'd be great to know in advance so I could be certain to watch.

6PM EDT!

EDIT: The tentative time is 6PM EDT. We'll have a solid time for you some time tomorrow. I'll do up a new news post then. No worries!

not really sure how to work this into a question, but there is word that they may make an 8 hour respawn timer. this would be kind of cool for vets, but new players would be really pissed off by this. even vets can be picked off by coastal stalkers still. i have a few friends that just started playing this with me, and with how long it takes to find each other, they wouldn't be playing with me anymore if the night ended after the first time they died. we make plans to play for Friday and saturday nights. 46 minute average life (as of this post) =/= 8 hour respawn timer. it's just a bad idea.

the more new players this game gets the better imho. all the vets have the bandit mentality from what i've come across, and the new players are all wanting to play friendly. the more friendlies the better. they make my game time more fun for me instead of just running around in some big deathmatch.

Question: what are some of the plans for dealing with bandits and when can we expect to try those changes? the bandit skins were a decent idea, but never really handled the issues players were complaining about on the DayZ forums.

Thanks so much for the update!

removed as this was just answered on PC mag interview today.

1. Do you intend to implement some kind of goals in the game that motivate players to work together?

2. Any plans to release this game for Arma 3?

how the hell do you get the link to come up? it's just sitting on some random blacklight page. hate fpsguru so much..
