I don't really bother with camps anymore, haven't found one in beards either, all I try to do is keep one tent on the go while i'm alive and fill it with tools for when I next die and keep it well stocked with medical supplies and food and drink, i'm quite happy for anyone to take the weapons that are in it, I put them there fully expecting them to be taken, but what really grinds my gears is I always keep a couple of clips of ammo, never more than 3 or 4 & I really wish people wouldn't rob ammo out of my tent, take what ever you want, but leave the clips its just basic manners..

So.. I think during my time playing dayz I must have installed at least 50+ different beta builds for Arma 2 yet there is no discernible improvement in the game fps wise in Citys, that I can tell, between now & when I fist started playing way back last May. They strike me as being as useless as tits on a bull, what purpose are they serving?

Yeah, I get that, the point i'm making is everyone always bangs on about how poorly optimised the arma 2 engine is (pretty much from it has been released), yet there is the mass of beta builds released and as far as I can see they ain't done jack to optimise the engine in any meaningful way - , ie an improvement of framerates in citys..

Yeah I agree, they should behave more like when a flare is thrown and investigate rather than flat out aggro - it's risky & stressful enough dealing with the prospect of getting shot by a random person, when you are trying to communicate with 'em in DC. - lets face it, you're gonna be on some other 3rd party comms with your mates rather than use ingame chat for that function - having to deal with aggro in an already volatile enough situation is too much.

A long time since i've flown one, but I think its around 1000m

I dunno if its a limitation of the engine, but I seriously don't understand why someone hasn't modded them in the community to greatly reduce their effective range to say 60/80 meters with anything further than that becomming blured and also seriously increase how washed out they get when there is a light source, if they were tweaked then I don't people would fear them that much, it's a bit redic that you can see the full distance with them..

given my experience with their games over the years *ahem* suppose nearly decades now, i'd ecpect that it will probably be about 3 maybe4 years after release will you finally be able to buy a computer that will run the game, heck, Arma 2 lay gathering dust on my shelf for years, cause what is low end now, was high end when the game released and it ran terrible even then tbh, still does to a certain extent now, even with current gen high end pc's..

I play on a server that has J.S.R.S enabled and actively encourages everyone to use it - which I do, and tin cans sounds like thrown tin cans, not grenades + suppressed weapons sound amazing, also I had someone light me up with a mk48 from some trees and I nearly shat myself! the sound was amazing..

Just to clarify its the M4a1 holo that has the torch, not the M4a1 as I see everything else is fixed!!

Infected + night time in the new beta = serious thumping heart..

thats your GUID just type the following into chat in game - #beclient GUID

maybe they could make it that pitching a tent and sleeping at it regains blood over time (the longer you stay in the sleep animation & only a tent that you own and can pack rather than old camping tents already pitched - same effect as a blood bag, as an alternative for lone wolves.

when tents respawned on server restart, and there were camps with thermal weapons / nvgs aplenty, the game was better.. now you find nothing, no camps, hardly any weapons and the craic factor is greatly reduced.. there I said it. Now its tears about Nvg's.. nothing but fucking tears its destroying the game tbh..

mine was working no problem last night on the public hive with the latest DayZ patch and running 101480 beta, however the M4A1 has never worked anytime i've used it..

Hi R4zor49, is there an acknowledgement of the M4A1 torch bug? any "it's on the to do list!" kinda thing? a, "we have our best people working noon and night to recitify the situation!" eh eh? no pressure like..

yeah everyone within a radius of 200m can hear you in DC, thats why I try to initiate contact via text in DC if I can first, don't wanna give away your position too handily

the north star is accurately mapped and clouds always move east, what more do you need? also I don't get the whole crank up brightness and gamma thing it looks awful, just with I HDR I think night time is amazing in game, it's far from not being able to see a thing..

no, I mean what I say, the M4A1 holo torch still isn't working..

M4A1 Holo torch still isn't working!

the server I play on is thankfully perpetually full moon, now that being said and done its also a private hive and white listed, the server was recently reset so I don't think any or maybe a few pairs of NVG's probably exist on the server. The only tweak to my settings I use, is I always turn HDR up High and also give it some time for the moon to rise, dusk is the much harder time i find to see. I've just actually stopped playing on the server for this very reason as it's gmt -5, i'll probably log in again around midnight once the moon has risen..

So how about when you are in combat the gun icon flashes red, when you aggro Z's it flashs the default green - when you are in combat and aggroed it flashes green and red intermittently? or, as another alternative maybe have 2 different icons? 1 combat / 1 aggro.

yeah I know what you mean, but someting when using sd ammo in regular weapons, you can't be sure if you have just gone into combat but not necessarily aggroed any other creatures when in a town and are safe to move or stay positioned..

at the minute i'm living in a black log cabin up north, close to my house - until today I had 2 well stocked tents but i've lost them.. currently I was on the hunt for a cz50 so I could go rabbit hunting - ever been? it's great fun, so difficult.. now i'm back looking for some new tents, lost all my medical supplies so gonna have to repleisih then, lost all my weapons and ammo gonna have to replace them - haven't bothered with a vehicle for weeks, find them all the time and just vandalise the wheels rather than stealing them, usually take and dump all the fuel cans too that are stashed in them, let the oners work!.. longest i've stayed alive has been like 40 days, usually have something to do when I get a chance play, I don't look for trouble but it usually finds me, current server i'm playing on was gonna invite people round to my house for beers on friday night for a chat about the new standalone but they have now disabled comms again on the server.. DayZ still absolutely rocks..
