I want to be able to do powerful attack with melee weapon straight from spriting. Something like holding an axe over your head and sprintin towards that other player, who is desperately trying to shoot you with his makarov, while shouting BANZAAAAII! Over Direct chat.

NVG wouldn't be that much of a propblem if it wasn't so easy to come by because of all the duppers. I've never found a legit NVG in barracks or any place else. I've come a cross dozens of NVGs but all of those have been on guys with GPS and Rangefinders, obvious dupped gear.

pfffff everyone knows the book and the movie came before chernobyl. The game that loans from those is set to chernobyl though, and yes, when I first thought of post apocalyptic game set in Ukraine, Stalker!

ARMA3 will allow you to do this so it might just get into standalone DayZ.

I mainly just avoid zeds like the next guy but sometimes, something just cracks inside my head and I go in full rampage mode. Had this happen recently, put 8 AKM clips in my inventory and proceeded to move down every zed that came for me in Zelenogorsk. When there was no more coming I just started shooting in the air until I ran out of bullets. It's good to let of some steam once in a while.

Of course I expect things like zed's walking insides and D/Cing to be fixed in stand alone. I just remember the times me and my buddy used to crawl everywhere and avoid the zed's all together. Novadays it's just running through a town with train behind you looting everything as fast as possible and finally running through some house, out smarting zed's... Houses shouldn't be safe havens, they should be death traps.

I'm with OP on this one. Zed's speed is still ridiculous and the only way to lose them is to run through a building, up ther hill, down a slope or just shoot them. Reducing zed's speed makes the animations less buggy and actually hitting them a bit less pain in the ass. Of course you can't just reduce zed's speed and just call it a day. You'll have to tweak the whole system to get it work right. First of make zed's punching animation reach a lot further and not to make them stop in their tracks (I know they sometimesdo this run by hit but you can still safely run away from them). Second thing is to make zed's more slow, maybe just a little bit faster than player running with W pressed, but still lower than player using double tapped W to sprint. Thridly introduce exhaustion when sprinting (note this would only affect double tapping sprint so you could still travel by foot). Also make sprinting bit faster and normal running just a little bit slower to create more difference between them. So in conclusion we would have a system where the sprinting (double tapping W) would be only used in life threatening situations like zed chasing you. You could out run it for a while, maybe even get enough distance to hide, but you could only keep on sprinting for a minute or so and your aim would shake extemely for next 20 seconds making aiming really hard. Also zeds would gain you slowly if you would only run (one press of W) but a less slower rate than currently. Running would still be unlimited to allow people lacking vehicles to travel across Chernarus.

no

The point was about hospitals. Easy explanation is you've been in coma for couple of weeks like 28 days later or Wlking dead. And of course the gear you had would be determined by your spawn point. You spawn in hospital, only having some thin sheet covering your body with no gear (there is plenty of things to loot near those hospitals). If you spawn in the coast you could have a bit gear on you but not too much.

I'd like to see Saiga-12 rather than AA-12, would fit the setting much better. Saiga is even in the base game, so it would be just adding it to loot sheet. Hell, it would be even plausible find in civil areas since they actually use Saigas for hunting in Eastern Europe. Just make it rare civilian loot and we're good to go.

I have also wondered this. Sometimes does this side stepping animation when just moving around.

lol, thats actually the face paint scottish freedom fighter William Wallace wore in the late 13th century. Fun fact: He was executed in one of the most brytal methods ever practised by being hanged, drawn and quartered. Even famous plotter, Guy Fawkes preferred to just kill himself in the first part, rather than go through the whole process

I'd say Ghillie, but only when away from big cities. When looting civilian clothes. If wearing special clothes around other players, you'll propably get shot (same with civilian, but special clothing seems to attract PKers little more) edit. Of course if you have bandit towel, wear any other clothing over it.

Kind of same for me. First when I updated, I had humanity at 0 always starting out with that towel on my head, but it would change after playing a while. So I log in this one server and now my humanity is -945000, no idea why, haven't got any murder nor bandit kills, only +100 zed kills. Maybe it wasn't synched and it takes in account your previous lives? Maybe it is bugged?

After getting some fps drops in areas like Cherno, I put my shadows to normal, instead of high. FPS raised significantly but I saw no difference in shadows between high and normal. Is this the thing Rocket was talking about, that setting some settings to lower, actually just puts them on CPU instead of GPU? Does anyone know, if any other setting handles the same way? I have a i5-2500k @4,4GHz so it's pretty capable in handling some of the work of my GPU.
