One time my team mate and me went to Olsha to check out the nearby vehicle spawn points there ...ever been there ?...there is absolutely nothing ...not even one enterable building..however... we started to kill the, as it seems, few roaming zombies and ended up attacked and chased by dozens of them..we really were good equipped (M4 and M14) but nearly ran out of ammo ...they were really everywhere.. I was knocked down and my friend had to even drag me while shooting with his M4. We somehow managed to escape to the Radio tower on Olsha hill where I killed a zed climbing down the ladder with my lasst bullet, Finally we moved on to the airstrip to search for ammo and were attacked by a large group of zeds again. We made our stand in one of the hangars using finally only our hatchets...we survived and headed for Black Mountain... we had killed more than 50 Zeds.....

hey gamersdream...better to come back later when we all have got our pills from the nurses....see you in the lounge guys

of course having different server options is always a way to satisfy all kind of preferences....first person...third person..crosshair..no crosshair..gore or no gore...unlimited vehicles..etc etc..where do you draw the line ?

there is nothing wrong with 3rd person in general and in in some game like Max Payne it is truely amazing but if you have an MMO including PVP and providing both kind of personal views, you can't give one group that much and unfair advantages...being able to look over fences and walls or around corners is a completely pain in the behind...not forget to mention these f.....g rooftop camping snipers .....

rocket already stated that zed kids will most likely not make it into the game for technical reasons ( new skeleton animation and stuff)

dwarven females have beards I've heard..but this is in NZ ähhhmm middle earth

I hope that 3rd person will be restricted in such way ( no crosshair no free look, no zooming, lowered camera no switching to first person on the fly etc) that it will be useful for immersion only...see yourself in your cool new clothes standing in the sunset and stuff...but being more or less useless for combat and all kind of interactions...as I said before I guess that is the plan... but we will have to wait and see Edit: and I am sure that even with the game play focused on first person we will still get our youtube vids ;)

do we have any information about making some of the weapons more realistic regarding the country ...it defenetely should be a Mosin Nagant instead of the Lee Enfield and a Saiga Shotgun ..not a Remington...

same here.... :blush:

wasn't that the plan anyway ..maybe not that detailed ??

talking about gaming...russian game developers and modding community are amazing...but most of russian players are sadly only big in hacking and killing on sight.... at least in my experience

grmpf..what I am saying is that there should not be any kind of safe strategy ..just spawning the zeds right from the start is not enough...there should be a lot of variation where they spawn, how many of them spawn, if they spawn at all or if they spawn maybe delayed...the time for their respawn after being killed ( could be a range from 3 minutes to 3 hours for example)... imagine you are approaching a village...and there are no zombies...this could mean..they have been killed..have been lured away...there are no zombies at all ...there are zombies only inside the buildings...or zombies will be spawned delayed.....maybe exactly when you coming out of a building ( what a surprise)....next time you go to the same village and it will be maybe flooded with zeds....

but vice versa...if there are no zeds.. :D ??? Spawnpoints should be not always the same !

first of all... hunting for background lore and information about the virus would be simply one more immersive thing to do in the gameworld, especially for people who are not that big in the squadfightingwehavetofindachopper thing :P ....finding out more about the situation ( the virus) and the hope for a cure and therefore a future not only for ourselves but maybe for all mankind, would be a big motivation to survive.... beside this, giving small historical or general information about the gameworld ,in this case a russian country, make things a lot more believable.... BUT...sometimes no lore is more lore (not Mordor :D ) ! Since Rocket confirmed that writing notes,letters and even books ingame will be possible I really hope for creative input from the player community...maybe people will start writing about what has happened in their home countries or to their families etc .. I imagine something like what is going on with Metro2033...the Metro Universe...the novel, most of you will know,is taking place in Moscow after a nuclear war.After discussing it on the forums people from all over the world are starting to write novels and short stories now about what has happend in the different parts of the world in this "metro universe"... for the dayz universe this means, without too much official lore, people are free to write their own stories..but based on a few basic things like the virus...

"it means if you want to shoot someone and you now don't have a cross hair, your going to have to aim down the sights so that's going to be a key focus on what we want to do" since the majority voted for removing crosshairs also..it seems obvoius that they decided to do so "and because of some of the changes to first and third person (you aren't going to be able to change between first and third person as quickly now as you will have to go into your menu to change that) " clearly stated for me that changing personal view will not work on the fly any longer... but maybe I am totally wrong :P

seems this is the compromise... @ Max Planck just my conclusion ;)

if they have to keep 3rd person for different reasons they have to equalise the advantages people have playing in 3rd person like looking around corners and behind walls and fences for example

exactly to remove this advantage.....

crosshairs will be removed entirely but they will keep 3rd person view in the game. Without crosshairs people using 3rd person will have to switch to 1st person view if they want to aim and shoot properly. This will not work on the fly but by going into the options.....

pretty excited about writing notes, letters and books ( maps??) ingame (one of my big hopes), finding background lore about the virus, having radios and maybe even a whisper chat...this will be sooooooo immersive...hopefully this will prevent a lot of people from using skype or teamspeak ....

go and play the game that shall not be named if you like it quick and unsatisfying....I would not mind if it comes out even in June..I will play (maybe mod) it for years..so talking about a few weeks seems really pointless...

stop...does this mean if he would go for good the SA would be on Steam next week.... sorry.friend..we all like you..but it's time to go.... :D

these ARE of course miltary tents....logically the miltary would build evac centers, field hospitals and check points in case of an outbreak....I don't think we will find many weapons in there but the place will be swarmed by infected :)

would love to see such stuff..mixed with background about the virus and the outbreak.. btw...there would be no NATO presence in Chernarus without the Arma2 background story...no M4..no M16...no Humvee..no Huey..
