This would be cool, I like the idea. Can't see any flaws. I don't like the constant side chat. There could also be ham radios introduced and people could sit up in Gvozdno and broadcast crazy rants, perhaps with a much less powerful signal. Hehehehe for whatever reason I just got reminded of the "NO RADIO!" signs of 1980 through 1990s New York... no connection, just amusing.

I probably get 15-25 on average, at least on the servers I usually play on... Standards... they are high.

I couldn't care less about graphics as long as it runs smooth (which it frequently doesn't)... I got killed the other day entirely due to laggy frames, I had the jump on the guy but I couldn't hit him at 4 fps... I was so pissed. <_<

Watch those people... I remember being betrayed by someone, met up with him and his CZ550 buddy, he was unarmed, I gave him an M1014 and he immediately put several slugs into me to get my M24... Over side chat: Me: "Wtf?" Bubba 1: "That's DayZ for you." Bubba 2: "Sorry about my friend, shit happens, want me to kill him for you?" Me: "No, it's fine." Bubba 2: "You sure?" Me: "Yeah, it's totally fine! :) " Bubba 2: "Wow... I respect you for that. See you round." I immediately spent the next couple hours trying to hunt those fuckers down. :ph34r:

I hope they spend a lot of time on melee weapons... of course these weapons would become useless if there are too many guns (or perhaps too much ammunition) in the standalone. My two biggest fears concerning these weapons: -throwing knives and axes... stooooopid, don't include them! -knifing insta-kills... stooooopid, please no!

Actually CZ did make a full-auto version. http://www.czub.cz/e...mm-automat.aspx The CZ75 Automatic first appeared in 1992 and was intended for special police and military forces. To help control the gun, a spare magazine can be fitted upside down into a special attachment under the front of the slide, where it then assists the user as a front pistol grip. The CZ75 :Automatic has been fitted with a longer ported or compensated barrel as well as with the standard length barrel. However it's extremely rare and if I saw one in the game I'd think to myself "what the fuck is this gun doing here"? It would be cool in almost any normal shooter, but DayZ is going for a more realistic feel, and in DayZ I believe the weapons should try to be plausible, and fit the setting. Lehman and Swartz been there, done that. :lol: The fact these types of fully automatic pistols are so rare suggests they are not very effective weapons, at least outside of very specific situations. True "machine pistols" have been around since the days of the Broomhandle Mausers but they've never caught on, and there's a good reason for that.

Everything as low as possible, 1024x768 resolution...

Most likely a graphics glitch from a helicopter crash. Other players may or may not see it. I used to wonder what it was all the time... "Hey, there's a massive wall of flames" "Where? I don't see it" "Are you kidding, it's all around us" "I don't see anything... are you high?" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnBo-tBcGYk

You generally don't use "SD" ammo with a 5.56 silencer. If you did it wouldn't cycle the action reliably. You need a special scope mount, either original or aftermarket, you can't just pop it on and off. One of the things which irritates me about ArmA 3 is how I can just pick up a telescopic sight and put it on my rifle instantly, no tools, no waiting, the rifle doesn't even need to be the same caliber or type, it just magically "works"... way too video-gamey for a simulator, I actually don't like that feature. It could work at the start of a mission when choosing a loadout, but it irritates me in-game. They'd have to find some reasonably realistic way of portraying it. At least require the player to have a toolbox or something, and make it take a couple minutes.

At my school we wrapped clothes around our heads and pretended to be members of an Islamic insurgency. The teachers were not amused. You could include a uniform (dat vest) and lots of running. Also, being a DayZ club, DayZ marathons. Benefits to the school... make a channel, get it partnered, give them some promo and all the moolah. :ph34r: I'm serious!

Click on them? They're too big to post all at once and they'd need to be hosted on a different site like Imgur or Photobucket. Those Takistani buildings look cool.

They still spawn AFAIK. Some admins don't like 50 caliber rifles. Also the AS50 has bugged sights and damage. Some admins also took out the M107 because an update made it "lock on" to targets.

You can trust people if you like, after all, what's to lose? It's all an experience. Don't be attached to your gear. I wouldn't be doe-eyed and trusting of any player I ran across, but you don't have to shoot every player on sight. Also the largest and most obvious tip: stay out of Cherno and Elektro if you want to live a while. You should go to a hospital in either city before venturing North and pick up a couple morphine and antibiotics, but after that, just run out of there. You can find most other stuff in less dangerous locations. Also, regarding PVP - perhaps the most important thing you can do is making sure you see them first...

But as Jona mentioned, they could kill themselves if they wanted to suddenly be closer to Cherno, or if they got kidnapped. Suicide is acceptable if you're glitched and can't move, or possibly if you're horribly injured. I don't want any form of casual suicide in the game, the Kamenka lighthouse is bad enough. In real life there are actually consequences for killing yourself, such as killing yourself.

Unless you're a samurai or an ancient Jewish zealot you're probably not going to kill yourself if capture is imminent... How about they add it in, but if you kill yourself you get a 2-day ban?

Like you said, InfiStar is a hack, plain and simple, shouldn't have been using it.... :| :| :|

Bahahaha Der Gesetzgeber ist ein Schweinehund!

Simo Hayha preferred iron sights over optics partially because he was able to spot the light reflecting from Soviet snipers' scopes. What veterans did you talk to that used SV-98s though? I don't want to see any reflection off lenses in DayZ. When you have a scope you want it to collect all the light it can, it gives a bright and better picture. Almost every telescopic scope (and binoculars, etc) these days will have some sort of coating. They might reflect some light but any in-game attempt at modelling that would definitely overdo it... otherwise it would be almost unnoticeable in 99% of cases. They'd almost be better off modelling reflection from buttons on your character's clothing or backpack. <_<

I feel pumped...

Ding ding.

I don't care either way, more clothing would be nice though. Kill zombie priest -> dress like Father Karras.

The age old decision between saving the skin and saving the bambis. ^_^

Speaking from a "realism" perspective the hero / bandit system makes no sense and should be removed... however I actually don't mind it. The stuff that really bothers me almost always has to do with weapons and to a lesser degree, vehicles, "that's my issue", so to speak. I actually like the bandit skin... ^_^ that or ghillies.

Things I'm not proud of? Loading my AS50 and Mk48 in an AN-2, then trying to take off into the air before I got up to an appropriate speed... boom... :| I don't do things I wouldn't be proud of to other people. :lol:
