I bane- True and i really like all the other aspects you have mentioned and feel they are working well or on the way to be working well. Dont get me wrong i think SA has tons of potential and some great ideas are in the pipeline, I thinkI have just finally lost a bit of faith of the end of sub par zombies and i still believe they should be a very big part of the game, it is called Dayz for a reason rather than DayS for survival. As others have said the lack of a decent threat ( even in the mod ) has caused the deathmatch situation. I still very stongly believe that factions and a punishment for killing ppl in your faction would be the answer alongside decent zeds. I'm sure it could be implemented so its not just wasteland with zombies i do understand ppls concerns that factions would ruin the concept of the game but i think it makes sense and would bring people together. There would still be room for a lot of PVP, people in real life would form comunitys in an apocolypse as much as some would be all for all / lone wolf. Thanks for the decent replys, we should be able to discuss a game regardless of stage in development :)

I'l have a look at the when i'm back from work , thanks. I dont have a great deal of faith in regards to the Zombies and surley a game that is a Zombie game they should be the no1 priorty along side the standard foundation of a game. But yeah will have a look later. Do you or anyone have more faith after watching it?

I dont play a great deal of Dayz ( mostly play wasteland on the busiest servers i can find ) but when i do i play low pops - for me 20 is the best number. I will tell you why. For me i want to the apocolypse to feel like one and if i'm bumping into ppl all the time it RUINS the imersion, normally an apocolypse scenario is small collections of ppl and most of the world wiped out. On full pops its just sooo predicitable where you will see ppl and pretty much guaranted, that in itself reminds me i'm playing a game. I play Breaking point A3 for this very reason, even when the servers are so full because altis is such a huge map you have long periods of solice and the irmersion really sets in. I remember a friend asking me why i prefer tactical shooters like Project Reality, Neotokyo , Arma etc. He likes past pace arcade games and said he finds realism boring. For me the excitement is the tension of what could be, and trekking for 40 mins say in Pr to finally have an engagement is where the tension breaks and feels so much more real / enjoyable than constant action ( if i want constant deathmatch action will play quake etc ) I dont think i have ever seen anyone adivse on this angle as they normally want to play low pops to learn the game or gear up and then move to busier servers, or if they are tired and just want to relax in the enviroment of dayz ( something i also like ) 100 man sever on chernous map sounds like an utter nightmare : | i got very bored of deathmatch years ago, squad work / teamwork is where its at for me. Its funny i see all the ref's to COD kiddies all the time and ppl seem to think themselves superior due to Arma engine being a relistic simulation, well dayz is as we know but its also really just a deathmatch game ( like cod) so its a tad ironic but nevermind.

Bump- anything in this?

Same always use low sens and no acell or smoothing- Mouse acell is a nightmare

There already is an official first person server - i logged into it the other night ( mercenary not veteran ) Its ok now there is a FOV slider but having a way of seeing your character would be nice * in game *

I remember when i first started playing bf2 - after a few times of taking a flag and then getting cained by arty or aircraft i learnt to take the flag and find cover or move out, or to take the flag in half and then move to next so teammates behind can fully capture the one i have taken down. Learn from your mistakes and never comprmise unless you have to.

As mentioned this could relate to any game- Just put your time in and learn from your mistakes < there is probally enough user guides to dayz arma on thenet already. The guns in SA dont really relate to the behaviour of the wepaons in A2 ( yet ) so i dont think a vet as the OP put it has this as an advantage. Map knowledge yeah but it dont take long to learn. Just put your time in and learn from your mistakes.

Its really anoying and no its not a arma thing - a2 is fine. I always use very low sens in fps, and like others no mouse accel smoothing etc. I have a mouse with dpi switches and have to switch it up so my mouse is not slow in menu / gear screen then have to switch it back when playing otherise its to quick. As mentioned mouse sens does not seem to turn off.

As said a million times - the only way you will get rid of KOS is factions- Me personally it doesnt bother me, mod / game full of guns not a surprise ppl will use them.

FNX- killed someone with this , i think i hit a hs on my third shot but managed to get 5 or so shots off into him from behind about 2 mtrs. Surprised he died.

Ok- There is nothing wrong with discussing faults of the game but to wine like the op has ( and others ) is not correct. Personally I would of prefered the game to spend more time in dev and have a more stable release ( i know this is alpha ) funniely enough a lot of the people that are making knee jerk posts are probally the ones that were wining about it taking too long oh the irony. The eat drink thing is anoying and hopefully will get sorted soon, i pretty much ignored it bar early on and havnt passed out yet ( only 3 hours in ) anyone else have the bug where is sounds like there are zombies tailing you but cant be seen ? Liking the Alpha so far , not seen it in daylight yet bar ppls vids/ streams

Had this problem in overwatch from time to time with certain guns - fal , xm and elcan, its anoying and makes you a bigger target. Dont know the cause

I think the problem lies with volumes and location. They know that there will be a good amout of people in the south citys of electroand cherno. Yes the nwaf and starey will guarantee footfall but its not as contained as the 2 citys and there is no elavated firing positions that are so close and so safe in nwaf and starey as sniper hill. Mix in there targets have lesser weaponry and you have ur answer. It exists but that is the risk of going into the big coastal citys rather than heading straight to a smaller town up north. If you spawn west just find the edge of the map and head north, then all you have to cover is halfed as the west, south west and north west is dead space.

Overwatch Zero And aftermath when its out :)

Why drop the gun?

I wish there was falluja wasteland :( but i imagine it would be like 2 fps given how zagabad runs.

Yes castle loot is now high val military. Found a dmr and g17 at zub the other night.

Sorry ( i actually dont care) but it is op. the comparison with the akm? Is pointless good luck being able to see as well with iron sights at that distance. The reason the dmr is op is its close range capibilities, likethe svd its auto and deady in close even with no x hair. They both are pretty op to be honest. As said before i dont really care because i like choice and difference but find it amusing the 50 cal witchunt.

Dmr is so op. funny how lots cried about as50 and got it removed when the dmr is way more op. Personally the more gun choice the better. But it will be nice if the standalone is less prolific on guns.

Not seen many recently. As kos said arma 3 wasteland seems to have a few these days.

Yeah i figured , just wondered where the og one went. Shame they were quite funny in places.

Where is the OG google? Im guesing he valued his normal account more than the google one.

Same here, re install fixed it.

Yes Joberg in SA - And there are tons of other examples- You cant excuse certain countrys just because you feel its an extreme minority, you confirm the troubles in africa over the years but for some reason want to remove them from the rationale ? Africa is a big place and is a huge example of human nature in certain situations or do you just want to include a white picket fence enviroment only :| I remember a documentry where this women was telling a story about her son was just standing with a friend in the street in a shanty town and a guy comes up to him. The guy asks him for a cigerette , the son gives him a cig and the guy guy gunned him down dead for no reason. Maybe look for stats on murders in cold blood with no motive etc etc. Its not just isolated incidents. Near where i used to work in london the local estate had police line do not cross on daily basis for shootings, yes a lot the police atribute to gang shootings but this is not really disimular to dayz * if you level out the obvious difference in repercussios between a game and rl * Anyone most ppl meet in dayz are treated as a rival and squads in dayz are nothing more than gangs. You canot have perfect matching examples in rl to game comparisons, so slightly stark analogys must be stuck. So please no more " we are talking about KOS here" where 2 ppl say are running along see each other and gun each other down , well that is so much linked to a computor game rather than real life as a good percentage of those ppl wouldnt do it unless the world became lawless. People say you never know somebody untill you live with them, well try that same phrase with a zombie apoc and tons of guns around like dayz and you would prob be amazed at true colours or panic, because thets face it KOS happens for a multitude of varibles in dayz , and most actions have a reason deep down . Its not as black and white as Stable minded - Psycho. Again If you want a pve + pvp< survivor game then you have to have factions and punishment for tk etc i truely see this as the only way it will work. . I mostly play wasteland and have only been tk' like 2 or three times by idiots or glitches in marker. You cant control Human natuure in game without the aforementioned or a niche group of like minded ppl. There are good eggs in life and bad eggs in life. yes a lot of people will team up in rl in a bad situation but a lot would be very bad as well.
