Bleh. Trying to find a server that I can play with decent ping - any suggestions? I'm in Ireland.

Arma's netcode is shitty regardless, don't be afraid to try like 200 ping servers

[Baneling]

I guess that's why I'm hanging at "Waiting for server response".

DayZ, y u hate me?

Loading takes a while usually, especially if it's your first time, it takes forever.

Update released, followed by server crashing flood of people. The news said that all the servers died but the site and forum servers seem to be half working now, I'm downloading but I don't know if it's possible to actually play yet.

Heres the changelog:

   Developer's Note:
      * To collect firewood, you can either find it in loot piles, or go into a forest and use the hatchet (gear > Right Click). I will expand this mechanic but its enough for now.
      * You get a ONE TIME OFFER to change your player gender!
      * Only two types of new skins are available in this update, "Camo" and "Ghillie Suit" in addition to normal survivor
      * Skins a player is wearing are NOT lootable.

[PTTG??]

Nice changes, I have to say. I guess the hatchets make sense.

[sluissa]

I'm half laughing and half facepalming at the "The female models are slightly thinner! Balance problems!" discussions.

[Bdthemag]

I'm laughing over female models even being added in the first place.

[sluissa]

Why?

[Bdthemag]

Because it's completely useless and not needed in an alpha, no reason to be in other than so teenage boys can play as girls, and that the "Girl Gamers" who stream can get more attention.

[Flying Dice]

Did they at least change it so that female characters can hold guns? I seem to recall that was impossible in vanilla Arma II.

[sluissa]

I assume so. I saw screenshots of one holding a gun as well as wearing an ALICE pack. At the moment though, they're limited to the default skin, none of the alternative skins will work.

[Astral]

I like the part "If you want a players skin, you will need to make them take it off first."

It puts the lotion on its skin and gives the skin to me...

[ScriptWolf]

Well now with the new skins in instead of dayz phrase being "you friendly?" it will now be "take of your clothes and no one has to die"

[dragonshardz]

I'm up to play with any dorfs I can find.

Same name as here.
