I wished you would play again too atleast waistland mod due it not requiring as much time as DayZ since its simply spawn>Find Gun>Find Car>Kill People>Die>Do Objective>log off

After watching the Standalone Preview Video By Dean. I KINDA felt like they MAY be taking the Whole Reality thing TOO far.Like with the Having to Reload Your Clips(meaning Fill the Actual Clips with ammo , Then Put them in Your gun),,and such. No doubt it will appeal To MANY gamers, I just wonder if it will be TOO "detailed"(or like a pain in the ass to deal with it) for lack of a better term.Just My opinion is all,,,Actually more of a concern Really.(Wasn't from THIS video,,it was a developer interview, discussion,,Might be speculation, although My concern is still the same)Could've been in the Rhinocrunch Developer interview about the standalone, possibly.Game Look's great though.I'm just scared it will go from Simulation/MMO, to MMORPG'ish.

I actually took a short break from DayZ and started playing waistland with the TPU guys and wished you would hop in and join us to murder people.
Ditto that. I had loads of fun playing with Easy on DayZ. Wish he would join us on Wasteland.

i admit that playing daylight servers is nice but if you remove night time altogether, it removes a good level of suspense and challenge to the game. If you have no night, why have flashlights or NG goggles still spawning? It is fun to play on a server that shifts from day to night and back even if nighttime is only an hour or so. Not one of those servers where it is 24/7 night. those suck.

Amen brother. Wish you would play with us on Wasteland. I know you bugged me about it earlier but now i'm playing it and i don't see you.

And Jboydgolfer, i think they are missing a couple of other things they could do with the houses. Like if you have wood and matches, allow you to make a fire in the fireplace. And if you did, smoke would exit the chimney and the house would warm up so that you did not have to stand in the fire to warm up and dry off. People would also be able to see that someone was in the house. Imagine coming to a town and seeing smoke leaving all the chimneys in town? And not smoke that goes straight up, since they have volumetric clouds, make the smoke respond to wind and such. They could also add in more stuff from ArmA III like the firing stances, the menu system they have for attachments etc. Add in stuff like finding ingredients to make a stew over the fire or something... and so on. That would be very realistic but could add in some more fun.

Last night was a good run on cherno for BLUFOR! I had a nice scope on my AK but killing the targets was another thing

Creating bases on waistland was very cool and I think we should get onto the larger populated server of the two so we can build a base and have a massive battle.

Definitely,,There is NO question that there are endless possibilities. I spoke with a friend, whom was saying how it would be kinda nice if There were some way to "take Over" a house,, like a base that is. It would add an entirely new dynamic to the game, like mini-bases(which could be locked,to protect goodies). I've been watching this game develop since the first week's , and have high hope's for it, Hell, if they ONLY removed that Damn AWFUL Arma in-Game player interface, it would change the game 100% in a positive direction. As an Arma 2 player, I can say with out ANY hesitation, that for a Simulation type game, the "clunky" Scroll, and Click menu is as Far from "simulation" as One could ever get. Yes, You DO get better @ dealing with it, but imagine not HAVING to Get better @ it. Anyway, ALL will be revealed soon enough.

That server was laggy as hell man. I don't understand why it went from relatively smooth as butter with high settings to lag fest on high settings in 10-15 min. Maybe I need to reboot my router since it has been up for at least 1 month straight?


<b>UPDATE</b>
My router has been up for 33 Days and 18 hours................reboot?

I didn't lag too bad last night but with 80 people in the server is probably the issue.
