i have no idea what this even means

What's a post phone? also i've not lost any trust in rocket as a developer. rather the opposite. he's one of my favourites out there. he doesn't try to meet deadlines if the product is not satisfactory. he's a stand up fella

core i3 2350M cpu, GT 630 gpu. not on high settings or anything, but at relatively decent graphics its good good also this. :P

i've got a much worse cpu and gfx card, and i get 30-60 fps outside towns and 25-30 in them. i'd say this can run it fine. although i did spend quite a long time optimising arma, and my system, for the game itself.

one of the best parts about playing dayZ for the first time is that you're completely lost :D enjoy it while it lasts, soon you'll know the coast better than you know the way to school :P

the bug exists, it's when a player is unconscious, shooting them anywhere but the head seems to do absolutely nothing. it is damn annoying actually and i'm surprised that nothing's been done about it really

zombie master is the shit! love that mod, played it so much back in the day!

even with a bloody fan on, i still run at temperatures of around 80 when playing dayZ. it sucks butt. i've tried bloody everything but naff all seems to work :(

i am green with envy of those temperatures.

does your computer get hot? i have a stuttering issue that's somewhat similar and i got an external fan to fix the problem. to check your temperatures while running games you can download CPUID or a similar programme. if anything is going above 80c then that's probably the issue.

50% of the time it works.... every time.

care to explain? i'm having difficulty understanding what you mean

i hate you so much

Yeah, the idea of having one life per day would limit the amount of playtime you would get out of the game, but if there was a 12 or 24 hour wait before you could respawn again, it would really give each player a massive attachment to their character. Each player would become their own person and i reckon it would really reduce KoS as people would not want to risk getting killed themselves. I know it would make it alot more difficult for friends to play together, but there could be servers for people who don't want it, and servers for those who do. (obviously there would be many more server for those who don't want it because the majority of players atm are cod kids who just want to deathmatch in elektro, which in my opinion is the complete opposite of what dayZ is about and completely ruins the immersion.) But, please give it some thought. I for one think it would really benefit dayZ as its own unique game and would really make a player more attached to their character. With the massive amount of creative potential given to a player now what with all the new stuff being added for the standalone, it would make each life completely unique. Possibly if you get killed within five minutes or something by some butthead camping at the coast then you could get an instant respawn, but after that you gotta wait the 12 hours or whatever. Or it could be 3 hours. The point is to give the player a reason to want to stay alive, and not to just start killing everyone they see. I know it's a pretty strange idea, but i'm just throwing it out there as i really like it. I'm obviously open to any criticism as i know it is pretty flawed at the moment, but i think it could and would work in the dayZ standalone.

yep, and i agree. don't implement my idea :P

i couldnt agree more. i read your thread on how you think ideas like mine would simply increase KoS, and you make some good points. i guess only time will tell if the KoS mentality can be beaten at all. here's hoping!

i vote for goo0gle to become admin :-DDD

the GT 330 is bottlenecking your system pretty badly. also there are several threads that show you how to optimise arma 2/ dayZ so you can get better framerates. also, dayZ/arma2 themselves are extremely poorly optimised so they can work really badly even on the best of PC's.

extremely productive.

really? don't be sorry haha, if that's true then there is still hope for the community.

that's what i was afraid of really, i know it to be true because look at what's happened to the mod recently. are there even any public hive servers left? they're all 1000 VEHICLES SUPER PVP SPAWN WITH AS50 AND GHILLIE servers now. there's no hope for the standalone if it's left to the community, because once again we'll end up with more SUPER PVP servers :(

nevermind, i'll just not reply to KoS because he rarely says anything productive other than 'hurr durr i like to KoS'

has it been suggested before? and i also said that there could be plenty of servers that didn't have this side-rule as part of them. i'm not trying to impose the rule on everyone, only on people who want it imposed. if there were servers that specifically had this 'rule' then i think they would work well and would really embody the idea behind dayZ.

i adressed that in my wall of text :P
