A Lumberjack

Freedom of speech is a beautiful thing... but this mob rule is ridiculous and those who follow the few shouting miscreants on reddit have found their street corner prophets. Honestly I have no idea why people got so mad over... oh wait.. it was those few street corner prophets saying the forum mods were in on it, "to placate their epeens". --on topic-- Personally, I really liked the new food/drink items. It adds some variety to a limited item table. I always found it odd that there are so little food/drink variations whereas in the real world there are a plethora of choices. However saying that all these new items clutter your inventory.. here's a tip: DONT PICK IT UP Thanks to all the community mod devs. Without you guys we would have no updates.. and no dayz. The forum mods also deserve a pat on the back. You guys took this horseshit like a champ. ~Lumber

CPU: AMD FX-8350 8-Core @ 4ghz RAM: 16gb Kingston "Blue" 1600 DDR3 GPU: nVidia GTX 660ti 4gb Display: 32" 720p LG HDTV (this is the last thing I need to upgrade)

Is this a private hive or official hive server?

I think that when you factor in the time and effort it takes to repair and fuel the damned things it kind of balances itself out. It's not so much the ease of flying it, it's the difficulty in keeping it. A well placed AS50 shot can take one down and everyone is after you when they see you flying. My suggestion and I think a lot of us can agree that on veteran servers remove autohover.

A map the size of the United States would be more like a traditional MMORPG. Most likely it would be hosted by a select few high capacity servers. For example, in Eve Online everyone plays on the same server spread out between thousands of solar systems and at peak times they have roughly 35k players in game. Even then there are entire regions of space completely empty while there are thousands surrounding the many market hubs. I love the idea tho. Imagine loading up the convoy to take a cross country trip from Boston to LA. You'll need lots of resources and you may have to do some scavenging on the way. There's a whole lotta plains to drive across.. and you better hope that 1987 Ford Tempo you just bolted together can make it over those rockies.

It's some damn fine entertainment, james.

As everyone is saying, you can't hide it at least not for too long. You basically have two options: 1. Hide it far off away from anything (See: 0,0,0) -or- 2. Hide it out in the open but in a place nobody can reach. I've seen helis parked on top of castle towers, gas station canopy and misc buildings without roof access. While this is clever, just hope nobody disables/destroys the damn thing.

Stop playing ForumZ fellas One word: Hunted

I'd say no. Save the cash you would spend on the textures to buy the SA when it ships

This is what you have to do. Steal a car, even if you already have one. Steal a car and drive west. Once the gas runs out get into a fight. Hitchhike back to Cherno and meet me at the super market. Once you are there I will let you into the most prestigious hotel in Cherno. The Morrison Hotel.

Yes and no. Dayz as it is now is a CPU hog more than a GPU hog. However with the item changes the SA will probably tap into the GPU side a little more and the CPU less. Your GPU is plenty powerful as is but I would take a look at your CPU and see if you need an upgrade to push the FPS even higher.

This was entertaining but the hacking bothers me. At least they didn't nuke the server..

Frankie was already in closed beta. In his latest video he said he's working out a deal to be the first youtuber to upload SA beta footage.

Must have msn messenger

Yes!!! Bears, cougars, wolves, birds of prey, skunks, squirrels, badgers, deer.. Edit: Also with birds of prey (owls, hawks, eagles) could attack rabbits and other small animals for food. Something for the immersion i guess and would be really cool to see an eagle swoop down and grab the rabbit you've been chasing.

Here's the thing about performance in Dayz.. Dayz is a CPU hog more than a GPU hog. If you are in dire need of an upgrade, start with the CPU/mobo and continue from there. The AMD FX-8350 is a fantastic processor for the money you spend. I went from an athlon x-2 4200+ which was giving me 25fps in the woods and about 15 in the cities to a consistent 60fps in the woods and 45fps in the cities while recording with fraps. That upgrade alone was enough to allow me to max my quality settings while getting great fps. Also cured 99% of the freezing and lock ups. Next was the GPU. I went from a Radeon X1650 to a nVidia GTX 660ti which added another 15fps. Up from there don't expect to see much more performance improvement. Last but not least, SSD. With the super high transfer rates loading into a map is incredibly fast. Best bet, go down to your local computer hardware retailer and ask about package deals or whatever specials they have. If you wait and do your research you could save hundreds of dollars. Also if you build the PC yourself you can save some more. Hope this helps.

What's a crowbar?

Can you be a little more descriptive please?

Your skill set for your character is what you know and how you accomplish it. Learning unit tactics in real life can help. I love the fact that this game is a "You Only Live Once" type of deal. Players are already way to protective of their gear as it is.

There was an incident at Namalsk's Object A1. That's all I can say for now.. the 'conglomerate' is after me, gotta run.

Frankie And the realization that choppers have auto-hover after learning how to fly and land without it.

Well honestly? About a month ago that probably would have melted my CPU but since then i've had a pretty decent upgrade. It doesn't seem like its too much trouble. Search 'Carbonatedgamer' in dayz commander to find it.

Pro-Tip: Don't drive an ATV over railroad tracks or bridges. You will most likely die. That being said, you can find two of them at Klen Mountain south of Krasnostav. If they are fresh each of them will have a camping tent in their gear.
