Lol. A guy who sits inside of the jailhouse all day waiting to kill people thinking he's better than the guy just logging in.

At least 40% of the playerbase wouldn't be able to run the game. I already have framerate issues when looking into treelines - That plus a thousand meters of rendered grass I'd probably dip under 17 fps. Edit: Might as well force shadows on high aswell, because a guy may be laying down in the shadow of a bush and without that shadow we'll see him.

Give us the ability to delete our character from the main menu.
AllDayZSimon replied to Contriturate's topic in Suggestions
Most people will quit for some time after having their legs broken in the middle of nowhere anyways. Look at the people already being teleported to the ocean and forced to wait a hour plus until their character starves. Edit: Also as for the "You are dead" timers everyone's suggesting.. - That just turned out swell for the WarZ didn't it? Edit:Edit: It's also completely possible to delete your character at the moment anyhow. All you have to do is join a server that isn't legit. (IE: "Bobs Funhouse #####" compared to "US West 1-15 #####") So you'd rather have people glitch to kill their character than to use an actual function? -
Also, whatever type of game you think is being made is going to be drastically changed when they release private hives. "This game has Pvp, pvp is shit in 3rd person" - Until there are no-pvp enforced servers. Then what of your argument?

Teleported to the ocean by some hacker **** and now my char wont die..
AllDayZSimon replied to Stylesz_Live's topic in General Discussion
Legal within the rules? No. Justified? You bet your sweet ass. Edit: If you're going to laugh when you kill unarmed players, don't be surprised when we laugh when something bad happens to you. -
Can admins kick you for suspected server hopping/ghosting?
AllDayZSimon replied to thequantum's topic in General Discussion
How does recording them have any effect when you yourself said it's not cheating and it's simply a loophole.. This is what I was talking about earlier, there's quite a few posts here that just show how much easier things will be when private hives are released. Can we please stop with; "It's not a rule that you can't hop/ghost - But they're in trouble for punishing you. Here have their server removed from ____". You can't kick/ban players for ghosting/logging/hopping. You can't kick/ban players for openly hacking because it very well may just be a glitch in the alpha. You can't kick/ban players who exploit game-breaking glitches (Such as duping). However, you CAN kick/ban a player for saying "Fgt" because it's a racial/homophobic slur. Very solid set of rules. -

AllDayZSimon replied to Stylesz_Live's topic in General Discussion
Did you happen to kill someone who wasn't an immediate threat? As bad as hackers are, a lot of them have been teleporting the players who kill fresh spawns - Which to me, is a justice to the community. But if not, chances are you just encountered a hacker who did it for craps and giggles. -
Color degradation from blood loss has to go (loss of visual fidelity)
AllDayZSimon replied to alleycat's topic in General Discussion
I'd say that the color loss is one of the main incentives not to just kill everyone on sight. When you get low enough that it's a problem, you either get a saline/blood off someone, you die or you learn to live colorblind. -
If it's one good post, it's better than the hundred or so posts of crap other people have said to get a "High Post Count". Also, I agree with him. South Coast to Mid-West is where the maps loaded. They added Riffy and Guba but left crap loot in them.

So why do people refuse being held up?
AllDayZSimon replied to Mays (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
I assume it has to do with the majority of hold ups resulting in a more degrading death anyways. Most people would rather fight/log than be handcuffed and fed disinfectant from a bunch of cackling squeakers. -
FPS Boost is a real thing - What it does is manage background applications to make a selected program use more memory while turning others such as explorer.exe to a lower usage.

I never played the original, why is there 3rd person?
AllDayZSimon replied to infiltrator's topic in General Discussion
And what if he did the opposite out of spite and removed first person all together, how many of you would be sitting here complaining? Edit: And seeing as the majority of the initial DayZ videos were recorded in third person, I'd worry about the amount of people trying to call in false advertisement suits - Especially with the current one over Battlefield. Edit: Edit: Taken from the front page - This shot, among many others implies that third person is in the game. Edit:Edit:Edit: Infact, near everything located on the dev tumblr implies that third person is ingame. -

AllDayZSimon replied to infiltrator's topic in General Discussion
How about you don't force your play style on me - You wouldn't like it if people forced you to play friendly now would you? What if I said the only way you should be able to enter first person is if you're using your weapon? You'd be pretty irritated, but that's exactly what you just said about third with running. You're trying to restrict the way -I- play, to suit -your- play style, which is a two way street. (This isn't meant to be an insult in anyway, I'm just sick of the two faced arguments of "You should be forced to play like ___, but you can't tell me how to play!") -

AllDayZSimon replied to infiltrator's topic in General Discussion
Is that worse than removing features? Might as well get rid of guns too so that we can evolve this game into something better.. Edit: Also, really? "People who play third person won't accept a compromise" - Coming from the people who are complaining that not every server is first person only? The irony is baffling.. -
Meanwhile a hacker teleports behind you and you're forced into waiting for your own death.

8:30 Nice to see that sissy hill snipers attempt to combat log when they're discovered.

Black screen on startup dayz Standalone
AllDayZSimon replied to naaitsabes93's topic in Troubleshooting
You can try "Adding a Non Steam Game" to your library and just selecting the .exe - My friend was having issues running Bioshock Infinite due to the same issue and it seemed to resolve it. -
3 of us died from a hacker last night
AllDayZSimon replied to DirtyscumbagLith's topic in General Discussion
Maybe they should just rely on VAC and allow the hackers to have their Steam Profiles locked? BE Is utter crap, I don't care what anyone says. What would you rather have, the same anti-hack that totally worked for the mod - Or the Anti-Hack that will make all purchased games on the steam account worthless? I'd say the latter gives more incentive.. "Boo hoo, I got banned from ARMA and DayZ" compared to "The $100+ worth of games on my account are all VAC banned now!" -
You thought that unarmed kamikazes were bad before.. Now they'll just keep retrying until you leave the area.

@DEVS: Easy, efficient fixes for: Combatlog/Serverhop eg.
AllDayZSimon replied to krazikilla's topic in Suggestions
I'd be careful suggesting anything that keeps your player in the world without you - Seeing as people are CURRENTLY having their internet crash and are walking through walls in two plus story buildings to their death. -
Some simple fixes that may help (Provided you didn't already do them) V Sync - Off, V Sync is designed to prevent screen tearing at a high performance cost. Post Processing - Off, Post Processing are added elements such as motion blur. Ambient Occlusion - Off, Ambient Occlusion adds shaders to the world among other things, but when turned on and off the background should have a noticeable graphical and Frame rate change. Anti-Aliasing - Off, Anti-Aliasing is a huge issue for many games on lower-end pcs. For example I can play games like "Tomb Raider" at near 40-60 with AA off, compared to the 20-30 I'd get tops with it maxed. Shadows - Off, Shadows off will impact your framerate greatly, but shadows on anything lower than "Low" will leave the world looking strange due to the lack of shadows anywhere.

Suggestion: Plate carriers, SAPI plates, and NVG additions.
AllDayZSimon replied to GH3OSTLY's topic in Suggestions
I really hope that if they do add NVGs, they're not able to use them with equipment. Make them their own item you have to pull out and peek through like binoculars. Using goggles with weapons is a shit idea in my opinion and will only result in people camping hills in the night with long range weaponry. If you don't believe me, go join any server on the mod that is night time with 30 people and go into cherno, see how long before some dude with a NV DMR pops you from 400 meters. -
You seem to forget that the majority are killing themselves because they spawn on the east coast and their friends in Kamenka. If you're going to put up a 20-30 minute timer on respawning in the same location you might as well let us choose our spawn to begin with so we don't try killing ourselves. Believe it or not, a lot of people just log out when a player in their group dies and spawns 45 minutes away. Edit: Also, if it's only registered from combat damage - What's to stop me from camping the same guy for 30 minutes and force feeding him rotten fruit until he quits?

Can admins kick you for suspected server hopping/ghosting?
AllDayZSimon replied to thequantum's topic in General Discussion
Just another example of how the rules failed in the mod - Whether you were server hopping or not this brings up the following; Lets report people who kick and ban Ghost/Hoppers/Combat Loggers because it's a rule that you can't kick and ban - But we're okay because there's no rule stating we cannot Server Hop/Ghost/Log. This is the exact same logic that buried "Public Hive" on the mod six feet in the dirt. -
There would be a huge backlash over the game making background application scans.
