    Any plans for 3PP immersion?

    The only way to properly gauge how 1PP servers would fair in popularity is to force 1PP on all players in a build. Say, .54, all players could only see in 1PP. I wonder if DayZ would lose players....or would the current player base adapt ? I'd love to see a trial like this. I think it would change gameplay for the better. This 'tomb raider" style camera, in my opinion, ruins immersion.

    Help on deaths

    That's the goss. But I hope it's not. Ran from east (Novo) to west (NWAF) and entered a nearby barn. Stopped to check some loot and "you are dead" (Nobody around me from what I could tell) Not conclusive. But it happened again under very similar circumstances. If true, I would rather a fatigue / weight system to warn / hinder a player from excessive exhaustion.

    Comparing DayZ to similar games.

    120fps at all times in Arma III What? Really?

    Do tents wipe every week?

    I understand that it's painful pack it up every week but we are only testing at the moment after all. Seems to real issues with persistence. But if in .53 they stay....then I stand corrected.

    Help on deaths

    I've had both happen to me. On both occasions I had been running for a lengthy amount of time (20 mins etc) and from what I hear, could be a rumor however, it could be a heart attack that causes sudden death. Cannot confirm this but the common denominator was 'running non stop across the map' without a break. There is a some sort of insta-death hack out there. Could have been that. Who knows. A kill cam / log (although unrealistic) would be great for this reason alone. This is alpha. We need to gather info. The Dev team should provide us with all types of info relating to in-game events. Not sure why they don't. We are, after all Alpha testers. Are we not? Other than "my leg is painful (sic)", there are not many valid messages we can fault find with. Server owners fair better. But the majority are just players. We need more info.

    Everything goes. Nothing stays. Pack your tent prior to logging off or you will lose it. Use the search on this forum. This subject has been discussed countless times before. You will find all the info there.

    What to expect from Prison Island?

    Makes me nervous just being out there. Let alone the journey over. I've traveled over there (and back) twice now and each time, as I swim, I am just waiting for the bullet crack to split my head open. But Iv'e been lucky. Once there, it's pot luck really. The repetitious nature of searching each cell becomes a little tiresome. There is a barracks building out back of the guard quarters located in the exercise yard. I have not found much there. As stated above, lots of Raincoats and Handcuffs in the prison. So. If you like paranoia and feeling like you are being watched. If you like long, cold, nervous swims (don't go out on low pop servers....live a little), go for it! It's worth a look - even if it's just to see some new structures. Bring on the boats !!!!
  9. I think the raincoat excess is there to prompt use to make....err really useful, armbands. Too many Raincoats

    Crash Sites

    Zeotrope: Look it up. It's from the industry I work in. - Not Zoetrope (Moving images) Nothing wrong with my English buddy. Keep your lame, smug, "Uh huh" comments to a minimum. You seem to have a real attitude problem here; trolling this thread and adding zero value to the conversation. Go troll youtube.

    Pustoshka Gear Giveaway!

    Wow man. That's an impressive haul. Lot of gear there. That MP5 (?) would be nice. BTW. How did you manage to get DayZ running on your 486? (showing my age) Bad joke. Don't answer.

    Crash Sites

    Putting words into my mouth wont win you an argument. Deal with it.

    Crash Sites

    Indeed it is. It's a preset, predictable, hard-wired feature the game suffers because of. Same as known loot in known areas. Too predictable. This is not a contest to prove which issue is worse, Mookie.

    Crash Sites

    This is so true and is a fundamental flaw in the game. Why should anyone know when they crash. The non-smoking helicopters should be there on re-start. The smoking ones should begin as out of control and fall from the sky. I try so hard to believe that this is not the mod and this is actually a new game.....but sadly, I'm beginning to think nobody at Bohemia / DayZ HQ is programming this beast. They are simply modding a mod.

    Breaking/smashing doors/windows

    I would love to see doors splinter into pieces etc. I would also love to see all doors accessible. I know this wont happen....but its on the wish list.

    How do you use the heat pack?

    I think the LR scope fits on it too.

    Strange behavior with V3S truck

    I'm not saying that sometimes (reportedly) they have been known to kill / injure those who interact with them, but I have found / driven over 20 of these brutes without issue. So 20 / 20 times makes them worthwhile to seek out and drive. But that's my experience. Perhaps lag may play a part in the related issues with these vehicles and the associated interaction with the underlying terrain. They seem to spring to life on approach as if they are reaffirming their placement in the game world. Not sure

    Yes I fixed that.
