MF. Ran around for about 3 hours, killed like 50 zombies with my hatchet, found a toolbox, spare tire, fuel parts, and a bus, fixed the bus, was driving along, saw a goat, killed the goat, harvested some goat steaks, and got sniped on my way back to the bus.

"I was bored. I just kill to kill." Per the bastard that killed me.

Had just found a pair of binoculars, too.

Go kill that mofo! Torture him with a spare tire first

The server I was on last night got played by a hacker, who promptly gave everyone on the map full military sniper gear, complete with ghillie suit and AS50 with TWS. I jumped servers, but kept all the gear. While running towards Elektro, I spotted a bambi on the beach who had like 30 zombies chasing him, so I got his attention, and ran down and saved his life. At which time another bambi with a hatchet came screaming out of the woods and slaughtered me.

I think I'm playing this game wrong.

A hacker literally just destroyed my most successful run in Dayz.

EXTREMELY frustrating. I'm going to need a few days to recover.

Several more Q&As on their forum... Devblog update: Where is the Standalone? - Page 37 - DayZ Announcements - Day Z Forums

Q: What about server hosting?
One of the reasons I think DayZ mod works is because responsibility (and reward) is divided, and "survival of the fittest" is alive and well.
We aren't in the business of managing servers. We don't have the skills or the background in the studio for that. We don't feel we need to own the revenue stream for everything, it is in the best interest for us - for there to be competition for hosting and providing the best, most economic, responsive, and active server's out there.

Q: Does the MMO architecture of the improved ArmA2 engine for standalone decrease the need for so much bandwidth when hosting a server? Hive and Player communication requires at least 2TB of bandwidth a month, from what I have seen?
The servers have been greatly optimized with an entirely new executable that runs on a light version of the game data (reduced up to 99% in some cases, drops all kinds of data the server doesn't need like textures). This means the server file is much smaller, reducing reading times for pbos, the optimization benefits are too numerous to detail here. This work is already done, and working, in the standalone.

Q: Will configuration of server settings be more simple?
There will be more options, and enforcing many settings will be done from servers. In some ways, it will be more simpler because there is no mission file. Also, you don't need a special mission file to support 50 or 150 or 200 players - just change the config value and go.

Went in a few servers this morning just to see if my old system (8 years old) would get by until my new rig is built. I can play but jumpy and color on some items in game are not there. This will just make me finish my new build faster.

Can't wait for the stand alone. I found this game by watching videos on arma because I was going to purchase Arma 3, but after playing dayZ it's going to come first on the list.

Gutted my old gaming tower, circa 2003, the other day. Slowing building a new gaming rig; mainly cause I want to play this game.

This game is the only reason I'm upgrading as well. I like monitor, keyboard, headset and speakers for the first turn on. First time I've ever built one and kinda worried how its going to turn out.
