dont update if you can cause there is only like 5-6 euro servers with the latest hotfix and they are all full.

FlyingIrishMan

Looks like there is still problems with 1.7.1.4, we could be on 1.7 for a while.
(Not complaining )

No. You lose nothing.

BlitzKrieg

Does that include character textures? My clothing texture looks horrid, like some Nintendo 64 Goldeneye crap. Not sure if it's a graphic bug or just Arma 2 showing age...

The starting skin is a PMC skin, so I guess if you don't have the DLC it's low-res textures.

You can probably tell from the clothing in this screencap if yours is low-res or not:

Sorry about that vti. Couldn't see where you went after killing that goat, and may have been slightly (totally) responsible for your untimely death...and i couldnt even find your corpse to steal all your stuff :P

You do realise that by restricting the pass to a Social Group you are inviting casual players/lurkers) to spam this thread , to get the 25 posts needed to join one ?

Thats a boards thing itself, we can't undo that.

Either way, we don't want people joining boards specifically to join us (exceptions of friends of boards members)

fair enough

25 posts doesn't gurantee access to the community and I would propose that only people who have donated towards the server get access.

Jaypers

having said that , i just hadnt realised private servers were allowed atm..no worries

There is no private server???

The server was password protected and locked while we tested the latest patch :rolleyes:

Jaypers

no worries, have fun

1.7.4 is very difficult when starting out...no weapons and the zombs have stupidly good eyesight.

Though I still got killed by a damn bandit after finally putting the crossbow to use for once.

Varik

what happens if you log off in a vehicle.

You're not the only one, loads of people are dying from the looks of it. Don't help that it's night on the boards server.

Think rocket specifically wanted it to be much harder he was perplexed at the fact people where living a whole 5 mins longer on average just lately /o\

It puts you back to the place where you were last outside the vehicle.

Rocket is complaining on the forums about server admins who updated the server to 1.7.1.4 but not the server update from 1.7.1.3, just letting ye know in case we are one of those servers :rolleyes:

The patch has made the zombies much more dangerous and can see you waaaaay off.

Was well outside a town, used my binoculars to read on the sign what town it was. Read it and got up to move when a jumper zombie who was behind the sign spotted me and chased me through the woods. Their new animation is bizarre as their arms swing manically.

I first logged in tonight at the apartments in Berezino, turned to my left where a guy was at the stairs looking down them. Fired a steel bolt into his head but then Kilth's and some guy named Duke's name appeared as having been killed at the same time. Wasn't sure which one it was I'd murdered :pac:

Either way, I've learnt to love the crossbow for the past few weeks.

Anyways, been trekking along the map to the camp. I've roused the zombies so many times out in the middle of forests and fields without even seeing them. Would be travelling along through the forests when next thing a zombie crops up out of nowhere on my arse.

Found a working tractor in a forest which helped speed up my travels a bit until I had to abandon it due to it pissing off too many zombies and attracting too much attention.

Probably would've been a funny sight for someone to come across a tractor out in the middle of a field going around in circles trying to run down a load of zombies

New zombies are awful. Unless you're crawling on your belling the whole time, you will alert them. And since they're so fast, there's always one on your backside, so evasion/escape is an uninteresting chore. Keep running in and out of buildings until they stop coming, for whatever reason, because breaking LOS does not f'ing work. /rant
