ah just wait for the standalone dude. Maybe just watch frankies videos in the time until it comes out. lots of hackers atm and buggy, so just wait.
-
the devs kept it in-game for a reason, because its more realistic with a 180 view. For me, I cannot stand First person and it drops my fps like crazy.

Low Pop Pros -Less Hackers, Survive MUCH Longer -HUGE FPS and performance increase -Easier to get your friends on and play - A bit less stressful really and more relaxing Cons -Cant really think of any.... High pop servers Pros - more players to play with Cons -Less Loot -Huge FPS decrease -A lot of players could be hackers I think a lot of the hardcore players have found a nice small or private server to play on. What do you prefer?

Lets say DayZ releases for Console. What would be your main way of playing, PC or Console? I can't imagine the world being that big on xbox, like minecraft, they have to limit it. That would take the fun out of it for me, for me its all about the sense of being in a massive world with other players trying to survive. So my main way of playing will always be PC. (Will they release for ps3 too?) Will your main way of playing DayZ change if it released on Consoles?

Whenever I head towards a town, zombies always seem to see me and start chasing me. I have to go fully prone everywhere throughout the city, when I see people not running around the city not being chased... what are some methods I can use to loot a city without being chased by a horde of z's?

Is there anyway to check your humanity?
Smirl replied to Undead Knight's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
no way yet, only by what skin you have bandit/hero/survivor...etc -
You need to have ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead to play DayZ. Which costs $

How do I abandon my terrible bandit ways and become a survivor again! (maybe even hero!)
Smirl replied to tuckerfoxy's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Once a bandit, always a bandit. Unite brothas! -
Please I just want to play!
Smirl replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Yeah man. One thing is going to solve this. Standalone. Right now, you need to look for the best server. I was lucky enough to find a good server that has around 50 player average that is heavily monitored by admins. -
What Should I Upgrade to Improve FPS Rate?
Smirl replied to Infiniti's topic in New Player Discussion
I think if you had an Nvidia your set. I have a 2.3 GHz laptop which runs DayZ on medium settings with acceptable fps. Your graphics card is a negative though, upgrade that and I think your set. Good Luck -
Your problem is you have a macbook. Any game for me lags like hell, i have a very fast mac too. Thats why I don't use it for gaming. I tried to run Bootcamp with GTA IV, and DayZ and it never worked. A lot of people will get tons of issues doing that, ArmA 2 engine is a heavy fps user. Now on your part I do not know if you can fix it, I tried too, but I just bought a '17 inch pc for gaming. That is probably your best bet if you're serious about gaming.

Standalone could slip to 2013
Smirl replied to despair (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Everytime they mention console release my heart sinks a bit. -
Well, a lot of things would be changed already in DayZ, but because it is only a modification using the Arma 2 engine there a lot of things that can't be changed about it. But I think a lot of added stuff will take place ion the new standalone. I believe they will use VAC instead of BattlEye which is better.
-
Suggestions for the DayZ standalone - thinking outside of the limitations of an Arma 2 mod.
Smirl replied to ruarz's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
I would like to see zombie attacks less frequent, but much more dangerous. That would be great. These ideas would make this game incredible. -
Buy it now, it still fun. Who knows how long we'll have to wait for the standalone. You also get Arma to play too, so maybe look up Arma OA and that might interest you.
-
wait for standalone man, its going to be much better and less buggy
-
yah same here I'm not hacking or doing anything, and I'm getting kicked constantly.

I think once DayZ releases its standalone it will explode in popularity. Number 1, its on Steam, the most popular provider for PC gamers. That is going to get the game more well known. Number 2, its much easier to play now. You don't have to have Arma 2 to play DayZ and for 3, They will have more control over hackers, and it will be harder for them to ruin the people who want to have fun. I think the new added features will interest a lot of new players, like the added weather system. Personally, I have stopped playing DayZ until the standalone releases. I can't wait. What do you think will happen after release?

Would you quit if servers went expert?
Smirl replied to bad_mojo (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Lol I would play even more, I love it on expert setting, it makes it more fair when everyone is on 1st person, and more realistic without names, crosshairs etc. -
alright fine, maybe the idea was a bit bad. things like that should be kept for single player games.
