Anyone else having issues with DayZ Commander? I can't download or update anything, just gives a red error triangle
I wouldn't mind if the error wasn't complete gibberish.
Arma 2 still running?
Well i spent about 3 hours trying to get into the MGT server this weekend, got in, got myself all the way to stary, sold some guns i found and bought myself an ATV, i check my map, when i go off the map, some dick had sold it whilst i was on it... ( First time buying a vehicle ) so someone called officer friendly decided to buy me one, halfway down the road after leaving stary, some dicks in a black SUV with a gun on the top kill me for no reason...
Despite this, i met two very nice people, a guy called death, potato and reavan.
I managed to save potato as he broke his legs and had like 2% blood and i found reavans dead body and when he came to get his loot again i had taken it, but gave him it back

Found plenty of bases on MGT. I've seen a few players inside them...people watching i like to call it. I'm not that type of player to snipe unless i'm fired upon and i don't die first.
I see loads of locked damaged trucks/cars etc, do these get reset or left in the woods? Same goes for random safes. Do they get removed if they don't get touched for say 5 days?

no real point in dayzero soon the vanilla mod will be better
I doubt it, but I'll give it a go and hold my hand up if I think you're right.
For me the whining spoilt brat Kiwi has made the SA too tedious and has most certainly missed the boat that was riding the waves of DayZ hysteria.
i just been fishing in electra guys firing at me with dmr im catching trout
best thing was i ran through electra with rod in hand in bandit skin guys firing at me zig zag to firestation find a axe on dead body got up to top and axed him

Just switched over to the new Epoch base buildables. All indestructible after a restart (allowing for self removal until a restart as there is no removal option for some pieces).
Deleted over 9000 objects from the old system, server is silky smooth.
