I would refrain from playing the next couple days. There will probably be game breaking bugs and a lot of people will get burned. Happens with all updates.

if you killed him the loot should be yours.

And BattlEye has your ass.

I picked a good week for travelling, then. From reading the opinion thread, 1 or 2 hotfixes are needed

Lost my L85 in this update. Seems to have been removed from the game, I guess? Still, it appears when I press F for some reason, but since it isn't there I can't use it or anything.

Dude, just exercise some willpower and don't play for a couple days. There are bug reports all over the place.

Anyway, this made me LOL:

Day Z is insulting to LGBT people

The developer of Day Z, Rocket or Dean Hall, is inflicting his own outdated and insulting beliefs to everyone who plays Day Z.

At launch, you get a GIANT warning of how your gender is ONE TIME and is permanently bound. You can never change it.

This is just downright pathetic. First of all, gender is not binary. There are many people who identify themselves as something other than male or female, but I won't get into that.

Secondly, gender is not static. People can, and do change their sex / gender, and it's their choice. I'm not trans, but I fully support their cause of expressing themselves.

But if I played Day Z prior to that, I'll be forced to be male - something I don't want to be. There's a reason why there are sex changes. Gender is not static, it can be changed.

The developer of Day Z instead insists that it cannot be changed for no valid reason other than personal beliefs. The developer is also an employee of Bohemia Interactive, and can be said to represent ARMA in a way.

Bohemia should do the right thing and fire Dean Hall, for going against the LGBT movement and imposing his own anti-transgender beliefs. But what you can do is, don't buy Day Z. It's not worth it. And don't support an anti-LGBT company / individual. Support companies like Google who give you the option of selecting a non-binary gender, not selecting one at all, and changing it whenever you like.

that looks like trolling to me

you can't change gender when making a new character/profile/whatever? strange, but of course completely irrelevant unless hitbox issues or some shit

Poe's Law applies to this.
It's so retarded you can't be sure whether the person who wrote this is sarcastic or not.

I hear what you're saying, but unlike CCP with Eve, or Blizzard with WoW - this project isn't based on a subscription model. In fact, this project isn't based on any money at all.

It's a bit shit, but the only way for the experiment to continue is with mistakes. I have to keep being bold. There is a reason the game everyone always thought of was never made, and this is it. Because nobody could deal with the fallout from the insufferable process of trial and error associated with pushing the boundaries to make it happen.

Battleye is a tool of US hegemony

Do you mind expanding on what that means? I truly have no idea what you are trying to say there.

And thanks again for perking my interest in Arma so many years ago. It's the best damn shit I've played in many years barring one or two other games.

I'll have to look up a UO server one of these dayz. See if we can steal your vehicles.

I've heard that Skalisty Island is chock full of clan tent cities, so maybe a raid is in order.
If that's the case we should probably go in with nothing save for a makarov a piece with an extra magazine, so we can carry more out and so whatever we lose at most is a makarov.

And our dignity.

And Vent's empty as usual. Seriously, does no one play this at 8 PM? ( or 2 PM in the US whatever)

Strangely, two and a half hours after you posted that three of us were online in vent. You didn't miss much though as only thesoup was able to get online with the new patch. I did see you one time a few days ago but you sat alone in your own channel for some reason. As has been said before in over 28 pages, the few of us that group together are willing to do a few missions with whoever wants to join us, yet we all have different schedules and live on different continents. Just hang in there for awhile.

Amazing thing happened. I joined a 1.7.2 server with 1.7.1.5 (though not deliberately; idiots forgot to update the server name). I was invisible to zombies; no sound, no visibility (but not to players). I didn't starve or dehydrate and rate of fire with the axe was very rapid, like a machine gun. When I hit zombies, they flied back from multiple hits. I saw three players running away from a small horde and decided to go after them with the axe, to see if they could see me. I went through the horde with the axe like a grinder. One of them gave me the salute and they turned to go their marry way. They thought I was helping them. LOL. When two of them lied down, I chopped them up but the other guy shot me before I could get to him. His shot knocked me out but didn't kill me outright. I immediately disconnected and joined a 1.7.1.5 server. I was reset to my last location in a previous 1.7.1.5 server and had no injuries. Also, my murder count hadn't gone up.

Weird version incompatibility but it was fun.

I always wonder how someone from 2011 can have over 4000 posts and I don't recognize the name. Is there some secret forum here that I'm not aware of? Thanks for the link though, I got a good chuckle.

Villain: I think you've been living in the bush too long. Do you have interesting dreams?

Ulminati, thanks again for the Vent, you are a true bro. I'll give you a bandage and an AKU-74S if you ever show up. Maybe a couple of mags too.

I'd tell you about the forum but it'd be breaking rule 1

Really? I didn't see you that time. I wish I could escape my mortal binds and substitute sleep for even more gaming, but alas!

Yeah, just keep showing up, done a run or two with you, you're welcome in my eyes. (I'm looking at you Villain).

Did Dean "I got severely injured on a routine military training exercise but try to play it up like I was Bear Grylls" Hall fix the stuff the last patch fucked up yet?
