I mean - Me and my group from TS have been playing/loving/enjoying & hating every single aspect of Dayz. That being says, one of the most biggest debates to always occur in convo day after day, is the element of "coop". There is NO coop left in dayz simple because, there is no punishment for slaughter to a player. There is no steady thought in ones mind when they come across another player randomly to think "Too shoot or not too shoot?" - Why? Its simple... Because the "bandit skin" no longer applies. Now bare with me - i know most say that the removal of the skin was for a better thing, but in all seriousness....was it? Wasnt it so much more friendly when people would hesitate to shoot another player, simply because they didnt want to tarnish there "murder" score, or to end up with the bandit skin, simply because it was a moving target for people to shoot, since it was after-all, a punishment. The problem now is there is NO punishment given to anyone who wants to free willingly go into the game, just to fuck peoples scores/dayz up. I say that rocket has to implement something similar to the bandit skin, that will get people to think or regret the choice they have made, and this is simply why, dayz has become the Deathmatch way. EDIT: Me and a friend are once again discussing this, and he actually brought up something i love, for anyone who commits a cold blood out murder ( i know it would be hard to determine, but take it for example the way bandit skin worked ), anyone who commits a murder, should show up on the map for 5-15min, "maybe as a lil skull + crossbones" that allows people WITH maps, to see that person. From here, it would be a players choice to either avoid that area + person, simply because they dont want to be killed, OR it would give so called "groups" of players out there, to now conjure up a new way of playing dayz, "Bounty hunters". They can choose to go try kill this murderer themselves, for the sake of his loot, or anything. Now this is only an example - if anyone has other ones, feel free to share. But again, it brings out the fun factor of murdering, and the negatives of it also. Bring back punishment! Bring back Bandit skins! Bring back coop gameplay!

Strange... Its my friend that actually owns the server, and hes curious about it now. I see my name on the list and a few friends of mine, so i know it wasnt us, but weird thing is, i dont recall or remember seing any hackers, or helicopters, or anything else being blowing up. The server was really quiet if anything, but we were kinda far out from any civilization. Were gonna look into it, but if you find any other proof, let us know asap.

cool..

same here, its so strange, after 1.6 - fps went to 10 again. after 1.6.0.1 i joined TX4 - and my fps was 30-45fps, this was a miracle considering the machine i used, and i noticed, that tx4 at the time was actually bugging, and the storm cloud in the sky, kept vanishing, for everytime it vanished, i was steadily at 45fps. It goes to show you that this game can be configured in a way, to let even old machines/specs, run this game successfully. Theres obviously some main factor to either the coding or the weather dynamics or something, thats making the fps drop to bad. Im now gaining (after a pc reboot) - 15fps, after 10min of game play - 7fps... Sucks :(

No seriously, i am... Before patch i was averaging 20-25 fps, and now im stuck constantly on 9fps - Whether i look at the sky, ground, a wall....it never goes by 9-10fps now. Please Rocket, do something pronto! And before asking specs etc, i understand half of you out there can afford too pay drastic amounts of money to gaming + your rigs, and i know some if not most of you out there will not be experiencing any delays or fps drops etc cause your rigs are so super duper cool! But remember for the little guys and the poor ones of us out there, who only run of a HD radeon 4670 1gb, and built there pc 7 year ago, we have bills, responsibilities, gas, etc to worry about. So i understand when trolls come to say there witty bs, its all in good fun. But ill intend to upgrade in the next month - but until then, my main problem is that, i "was" getting 20-25fps with my shit rig before the patch, now im stuck on 9fps. Just saying so rocket can maybe have a little look over the last patch details, and maybe come to some conclusion that will "quickly" fix it in time for me to get back out on the road again, cause 9fps....is murder. Thank you again! TL;DR - Stuck on 9fps since last patch, cant do shit, will upgrade soon, thank you!

I know im not running the best setup til i upgrade. But i to ATI Radeon user - am having fps spikes like mad. Once entering a server you can tally up an easy 25-30fps, then from there as rendering starts, no matter Very low - med - high, the fps slowly starts to melt away. By 15min in a game, im sitting on between 5-10fps in almost every part of the map, until i restart the game, and it starts an average of 30fps again, every setting, every 3d res, everything on and off...

Well - By now i thought there woulda been a sticky of friendlies tbh, but i guess this will do! Its not only good seeing the names of those who are trusted, but also reading the storys as to why they are trusted. Im not a big RP fan - but you gotta admit, this mod really brings out the RP in most people. :P Great storys guys, keep em coming!

Well, new player here, so Hello survivors & bandits! IVe been following the game for about a week now, and if im gonna be honest ive not actually even bought the game yet ( i know, i suck!) - But now i just have! Ive been watching friends streams, youtube vids and anything else relating to dayz for a week now, and i must admit - regardless of the trollers + haters, this mod is absolutely outstanding looking, so well done for that Rocket! Now one thing i do come across constantly through forums, streams, rants - is the "lack" of trust. This to me, makes the mod all the more sweet, that adrenaline feel when coming across a player and instinctively not known whether or not to trust or shoot? That to me makes the game, but i also noticed in threads, there would always be the "random" guy who is amazing,helpful,friendly - and these are the type of people who genuinely bring a good aura to the game, while trying to survive. So dont bash me if this has already been done, or if its even a bad idea...cause i havent seen any yet. But i want to make a "Trust" thread - a place to put the names or storys of people who deserved to be named, due to there valiant offers just to help people. Now i know EVERYONE will have come across bandits, but this thread is to name those who are actually friendly and help, this way it gives people a great idea of "Who to look out for" while gaming. Heres a great example story! "RE: Day Z...WAS.....fun Today I had my second direct contact with random survivor, and he was willing to scout me to the hospital across Cherno just for me to get a blood transfusion. I unfortunately died on the way, as I had only 2k blood and zombies attacked but damn, it was nice having him. If you guys pass through Sightless, trust him." (If its a bad idea, or been done, lock and throw away!) :) I for one, am a helper + survivor! So feel free to look me up when i soon start to play! (1hr remaining!)
