I was ROFL. Have some beans :) PS how do you flip the finger at people?

If you want an intense 1st person experiance then there is nothing stopping you from hitting that button and getting it. By removing it you take that choice away from the player and restrict the ways the game can be played. At least you can admit its not a cheat and if more people begin to see it as the tool it is then i think less would complain. Ok so its a "cheap" move. Every game has these moves aka rocket nabs on games like BF. Its cheap but you could respawn with an rpg and play that game right back at them. Same goes for 3rd in Dayz. I just feel id loose a lot from dayz (and not tactical advantages) if it was removed. No more admiring my gear on that 3k run. No more epic screenshots. Also whats the point of us bleding from where we got shot from if we carnt see it. Il always defend 3rd person, because IMO it adds a lot to the game ;)

im not saying i dont like 1st person, i use it for firefights and stuff. But i love 3rd for scouting and when im just running around unpopulated areas. Alll i want is one of these 3rd person haters to give me a solid argument as to why its CHEATING. Its just point blank not cheating if the option is there for everyone to use. And unbalanced??? If someone is too stubborn to use 3rd and will only use 1st, thats there CHOICE. they are choosing to put themselfs at a disadvantage when they could easily hit 1 key and be completly balanced with the person they fighting against.

Not sure how much storage will help atm. I think that there will be regular database wipes trough the alpha phase so in a way best not to have em. Better to just loose personal gear rather than a whole camp ;)

Dear Santa I have been a very good boy all year and all i want for christmas is RESPAWNING ZEDS :)

Its not a cheat...give us a resonable argument as to why its a cheat. A cheat is something that gives you an advantage....you could also look over the wall im hiding behind, so i have no advantage. I could question your inteligence for running round a corner you havent checked when the option is openly there for you to use ;)

Hahahah sorry if using shorthand denotes a lack of inteligence on my part. Didnt think my grammer was too bad tho. How about a counter point to my argument as apposed to pulling appart the phonetics of my post?? no....thats because my argument is sound ;)

How is server hopping killing a game that hasnt even been relesed yet? Hate to say it but alpher!! lol This is such a small issue atm, much bigger fish to fry. Noone can say its ruining there dayz experiance as no one is really playing dayz yet, we are all testing it out and giving feedback. The mod identified server hopping as a problem regarding loot, so loot respawn times were upped to 15 mins to prevent farming and server hopping. Combat logging was sorted by a 15 sec logout timer. This shows that even befor the alpha was out that things were bieng put in place to sort this out. They will implement there new better features for this but only when they feel the basic stability issues are sorted. Give tiiiiime lol Its been out for what....just over a week and people are complaining about gameplay issues that obviously wont be addressed till much further down the line.

3rd person rocks! Games like stalker were ruined for me by lack of 3rd person. Constantly getting all this good new gear, with no way to acctually see it on my toon. Its not cheating if everyone has it, its a tool. Poeple can choose not to use that tool, but they shouldnt cry when someone using it bests them, as the option for them to use t was always there ;)

I dont think acceleration would cause a "zig zag" of the mouse. I did see a thread about a mouse issue that made the cursor jump everywhere, could this be the prob? Try a search for mouse, i carnt remember if someone found a fix or not.

Heres a pic for the guy who asked ;)

Got my first SA kill yesterday :) So im looting trough Stary and I see a zed chase someone into the market. I proceed to the market and see the guy killing zeds at the back.I wave from the door to show im friendly and after he kills his last zed he waves back. We both take some stuff from the market, then I wave goodbye and go to loot another house. While im looting I see hes followed me into the house. I don't really mind as he seemed friendly so I just leave and head towards NWA. Iv only been running down the road a few seconds when he comes barrelling past me in sprint axe swinging as he goes.....I still give him the benefit of the doubt and leave my axe on my back while jogging. Suddenly he gets a hit in and im bleeding.....that's it! I draw my axe and we start dancing round eachother swinging axes. After a few seconds I manage to kill him. After getting some extra food and drink I carry on my way. Let this be a lesson to all you little backstabbers.....just because some of us play friendly dosent mean we wont kick ur ass if you try something :P

Yeah when I was leaving town (when he actually attacked me) I was at a jog...tryin to save food and water. He just sprinted after me at full speed lol :)

Rain was one of the first SA updates I saw as it was raining on the first server I joined. I loved it strait away, looks so nice compared to arma 2 rain :)

Varied run speeds is already in. I ran from a bunch of about 8 of em yesterday and some fell away quickly, some took longer as they were a bit quicker and then this 1 persistant one chased me at even speed for ages:) I say give em great view distance and chain the agro. Then if one spots you on the fringe of a city....all of a sudden there could be loooooads running up the hill at you from all over the place :)

Im against gun wielding npc's, but I would like some more PvE from things like animal dens or places with armored zeds. Anything as long as the risk in trying to do it alone is so big that you would prefer to team up to do it. Dosent even hurt bandits as they could wait for the friendlys to clean it out then snipe them all and take the loot. Maybe even encourage bandits to form groups aswell lol. If there is gonna be benefits to hero'ing, there would need to be benefits to banditry aswell. Maybe some slight after effects of combat that are worse for a hero than a bandit. Unless of course the hero killed a bandit, then he/she wouldn't feel remorse. Also if the hero was fired upon first the effects would be less pronounced. But if he chose to kill, just because he didn't like the look of the guy, it would be much greater. No safe trading! :P trading in dayz is and should be one of the most heart punding situations you can experience. Well that's for meeting a new guy to trade for 1st time anyway. Any sort of Safety is a no go for me, should always be scared for your life. Currency and buying things im against aswell, for me it detracts from the apocalyptic surviving off the land sort of thing. EDIT - guess what I mean is we make our own currency. Il give you my quad and a ghillie for your nvg or whatever. And the trade rates change on what you need....that car you spent 3 hours fixing is suddenly worth a can of food in the right situation ;)

Oh man.... a ghosting topic....right above....another ghosting topic...lol. This will get sorted but I think its too early to think bout things like this.....we aint even got loot and zed respawns up yet. ) Im not a fan of moving the player on server switch though.

The devs know about this problem, there will be a fix....its too much of a small gameplay issue to bother fixing now....server stability and security first!!! Server hopping is an EXPLOIT, just because the features to combat it aren't turned on yet dosent make it part of the game mechanic lol

Was good to hear that Dayz pre alpha was such a success. But what will this cash injection actually mean for the project? Will it mean more staff to help advance quicker, or will that be a lot of marketing cash for further towards the game actually coming out? This thread is to speculate, discuss and share info you have found about it. Maybe even a dev response :)

Might take longer than 5 mins. Try a search im sure theres a few topics on this ;)

For me steam + the new cloaths system makes nametags redundant. You can finally say to a friend im in black shirt green pants (or whatever). In the mod the PMC skins were random colour for everyone. And just as in the mod its always a risk approaching someone you don't know. Iv had many encounters and made friends on the mod without nametags. It adds to the immersion and keeps my heart rate high during first time meets. Hope it stays that way on SA :)

Varied zombie run speeds Inventory Cloaths Map Sun Enterable Buildings Having to open tins That's not in any particular order :)

The tools such as handcuffs and things aren't just for bandits. I play friendly 90% of the time, I have still handcuffed 2 peeps so far just to be safe as they were heavily armed. One of which I actually got to surrender with an empty mosin :) I could see the benefit of removing guns until zombie respawns are enabled. But I think too many bandits would cry about not being able to shoot everyone :)

Isnt that occlusion what they are attempting to do with the network bubble thing? And yeah I was thinkin GTA4 ;)

If the engine can handle it why hasn't it opened up for more players on PC then? Theres no way that engine can populate the entire map at once....it would have a heart attack lol
