From that point it was all entirely your fault. If you wanna help people fine, but take an advantage first, I won't never try to help someone w/o showing him I could kill him anytime I want if I so desire. They tend to be a lot more cooperative :)

I hope in the SA if the server have for example Newbie, Regular, Veteran and Expert settings, only the Newbie allows crosshair ON. No crosshair should be a default IMHO.

People who says playing without crosshairs forces you to aim have obvisouly not played Killing Floor, nor CS with Scout/Awp. I can headshot you 100m away in less than 3 shots w/o crosshair. 15 years of experience support my statement. I do agree crosshair should be removed, but just because people will need more skill to aim, not because it makes impossible to aim w/o sighs because it does not.

In CS I can throw my grenade through a window 80x80cm at 100m away with a fail rate less than 20%. Here I can't properly throw my grenade on a Ural at less than 20m distance. So for obvious reasons, I rather play with the CS style.

And its been said quite a lot this game is for hardcore players. Casual players have plenty of offers out there to choose, isn't like we are leaving them w/o anything to play.

Why not? When im seeing a movie I like it to be realism. And If it is a zombies genre film I would say "Ok! lets guess for a minute zombies are real! Would THAT happen as it is shown in the movie? would people act like the idiots they're acting (you know, the usual black guy who has to lose his mind without apparently reason just for him to have an horrifying dead)". "Would all be COMPLETETLY wrecked and destroyed and the cars/buildings on fire like if zombies had superpowers??" If the zombies we're real, I for sure know most situtations shonw in movies wouldn't be real. The same applies to all the rest. Im not agree with the post of your quote, but just saying the "isn't realistic" argument is quite logical and make sense in most occasions.

IMHO 3rd person shouldn't be removed, just tweaked a bit. First of all, you shouldn't be able to shoot a gun in 3rd person. 3rd person must be bound to a lowered gun. And interactive elements around corners (i.e zeds, humans, cars, loot) shouldn't be visible in 3rd person. But you can still see the buildings or the terrain. And last but not least, none of those restriction applies when driving. As it is now ingame, maneuver in 1st person is insane. - Headshake can be lowered already in the mod in the game options. On the lowest setting I barely notice it (though maybe it is because I always play 1st person on everygame I play and Im already used to it). However i'm agree it should be gone in the SA, IRL your view also shakes when you run but you don't notice as you're eyes perception are integrated with the movement. This doesn't happen ingame cuz my char and I are independent entities. - FoV can be user changed in the SA (as far as I remember from a devblog youtube video)

I didn't play the game since months ago and Im now back at playing it thanks to this patch, and so are my friends.

If I know me well, and I think I do, I wouldn't give a shit for anyone in a real situation like that, besides my already friends from now. And I pretty much know this because it already is that way in my normal life. Im not the type who falls in love easy.

In fact they enhancing the experience with the Arma 2.5 engine. I don't think they will refuse any of those features.

did you tried going north at least once?

Gosh! Im willing to finish my exams so I can play this new patch!! So much tears from codkiddies that is almost giving me an orgasm :D

If thats all you know you wouldn't even be able to proper reload a weapon, or even to remove the safety. So why bother using it. That would be skill learning as any other RPG which is a no-go as Rocket stated (if I remember well). Civilians are dead, civilians are zeds. If the average civilan can survive this then no apocalypse would take place. The superior civilan and the trained military are the ones capable of survive this, or to try, at least. And even if civilians could survive, I repeat the same. There's no reason to force all of us to play like a retard. Put realistic ballistics ingame, put weapongs jaming with missuses (you can't just spray a machinegun non-stop like if this was Call of Duty) and whatever you wanna put ingame that IS controlled by the player. But what is not, don't force us to play as a retard. Is all I'm asking. Same with fatigue. You ain't able to run for 5 minutes? well, I am, for 5, for 30, and for 120. So don't force me to play with a fat piggy desk-attached just because it's the average. Average are dead.

My opinion Pros: - Map looks awesome with the new enterable buildings. - Vault while running - Shooting while running (though I hope precision gets null) - Zeds actually looking like zeds - Female zeds - Inventory Drag & Drop - Inventory subdivision - Some of the new animations (like drinking) Cons: - Some of the new animations (like weapon handling) - Crosshair (not this one in particular, ANY crosshair. I hope they're completely removed) - Don't know if its the final weapon or provisional but I expected a much more better weapon graphics. That AK looks like CS 1.6, which is good... for 1999. - Inconsistent & still glitchy zombies. - Inventory space disposal seems to be still incoherent: a rolled map taking the same space as a 2L water Bottle? I expected to see the trousers not with 6 spaces but more like 60, and then an AK magazine takes 15 but an epi-pen only takes 4, a single bullet takes only 1 and so on. - Looks like if for taking items you have to aim at them with highly precision. Which substracts naturallness from the act of looting. In any other game you just have to 'overaim' to the element to interact with it. This feature here is gonna be the most annoying within 5 minutes of playing. - No HUD??? Devs please, don't listen to those yelling a no-hud is more realistic. IT IS NOT. In real life we have 5 senses, ingame we have only 1 and a half (one for audio, half for view), a HUD is a must. I need to know if im hurt and where, or how many mags I have left (not for bullets inside the mag though), - Maybe its only my imagination but the characater seems a bit overweighted? Dat fatty ass... Or maybe the narrow shoulders? I'm not sure about this, its just a feeling.

Well, then I would hate this. Forcing everyone of us to play as a retard isn't the way to go. Let the people put their knowledge in the game. And if its not possible, the game must got that knowledge for granted, which is the case in weapons animations.

Those are my rules. 1.- First of all, have a fucking fire weapon. If not, avoid ANY contact with people. ANY. 2.- When you have your fire weapon, if you meet someone don't FUCKING RUN right directly into them. even if they only carry axes. Instead of that, look for a covering position close enough for starting a conversation. Analyze their intentions, even if they try something you have the advantage, and once they see you're actually not killing them when you could and just go away, you may be surprised how many of them will became your game friends. All the people KoS because all the people KoS, but if you show them you're not a KoSer they will not KoS you either (unless a codkiddie or smth, but those are a minority in fact). However, running straigth to them with an axe isn't the best way to proove your intentions, no matter how loud you scream 'friendly' on the mic.

I confirm. Tested it with 2 friends with major computers and I myself with a shitty laptop. I have around 15 fps at my best when they go around with 60+ always. And doesn't matter if we are full geared, or just clone newspawns, they ALWAYS run more fast than I do. And not by just inches, but almost double me. Only think I can do to catch up on the race (and still lose it, but no by thaaaat much) is look straight down so my fps increases to around 25-30. Can't confirm the same with ping because we have the same internet conection. //EDIT: However, I just remembered. Not about the ping because it's fine but maybe because the zombies are client-side, with so low fps it is only logical my CPU can't handle the zombies behaviour either. So they end up ignoring me most of the time. My friends are always complaining about the zombies attention while Im free to go everywhere in a run w/o almost any attention from them (as long as I don't shoot).

mirrors edge is back !! Finally!!

I still don't get why people get so angry. I don't care if the patch is released tomorrow or in two months, I have plenty ot stuff to do until then. Same with the SA. So empty are your lives?

Real gamers play on computer and dont give a shit about consoles, and console gamers dont give a shit about Day Z (problem is, they do, and this is why we have lots of codkiddies & casual gamers turning this awesome game into crap). So, turns out that I actually want & hope the next-gen consoles takes over Day Z and then we may get rid of all those people.

First of all: - FUCK the street lamps on roads and towns. I have no better way to state this. Regarding the rest of your ideas. I like them. Just one thought, NVG range its fine. If it gets lowered, hope its just a little. What I would do is add batteries (and the staff already said they will) and set the duration to about 2hours or so (depending on how rare are the NVG to find, and the batteries). If I had a NVG which I can only use for about 2 hours, I would only do that on extreme situations (like being shot or smth); rest of the time while traveling I will use my flashlight, which, ofc, has to be able to use with my weapons. And also being able to point straight forward while running and even sprinting As it is now, seems like my character is retarded. While running the flashlight now moves as if he doesn't had one. And he also doesn't know how to do this simple action. But hey, I can shoot from 1.5km with a simple zeroing!

Hope it is possible in the SA, in fact, I think it should be almost the only way to fix a vehicle. Finding similar vehicles to take from until you can find all the parts you need and put it all in the same vehicle.

The hatchet as it is right now fails a LOT

lacks the option "all of them".

Not for opening doors I hope. Is so fucking annoying right now.
