Well, the truth is FPV players are severly punished in DayZ. Since it is the harder option and server admins like to make DayZ as easy as possible, only few servers have FP only. Think of how much better and harder DayZ would be without 24/7 daylight, self blood bagging, third person view, and repaired & fueled cars. Going off topic, but this is also why we, as a community, shouldn't be trusted with our own servers. Rocket said he wanted to be unforgiving... so far, the mod has gotten pretty forgiving.

What is DayZ about then? (Also, I stated no where that DayZ is all about the realism, even though it is. The realism in DayZ is what distinguishes it from just another Left 4 Dead wanna-be)

No party will agree, but TPV players can not say that they choose the more realistic and authentic option. That is all I'm trying to argue.FPV players and TPV players will never be able to mingle on servers fairly, since FPV players do not get a camera to peek over walls.

DayZ Vanilla is a rare server type itself. Filter for all mods variants. I have to disagree. A FPV player will ALWAYS have a more authentic and realistic experience in DayZ than a TPV player. Why? Simple. They can't use their magical third eye to poke out of cover to see their assailant. They don't know if he's flanking them, rushing, or taking cover also. They can't keep tabs on him from behind a wall. TPV player can keep their crosshairs on him from behind cover! And you're telling me that's authentic?!With FPV, turning a corner is a surprise. Will there be a zombie right there? A player? A car? You don't know. Mister magical TPV player does, though. He's already surveyed the entire street before he's come out of the corner. Authentic? No. Casual play? Yes. To prove my point, watch any major YouTuber. What happens when they get in a firefight? Dive for cover and third person over cover. Not authentic at all.

What about things like suppression or snipers? Snipers are very effective for pinning whole squads down because, in FPV, they need to expose themselves to either return fire or find said sniper. In TPV, you just hide behind a wall and scan. Same with suppression. You can't pin a guy when he can already be aiming at your torso as he pops out from behind cover. What about attempting to flank someone who is suppressed? He can just use his magical third eye to see you moving while behind cover and be ready for you, As I mentioned in another post, gunplay, effective tactics, and suppression will be on par with COD in DayZ until third person is removed or if you play on a FPV only server. Trust me, after switching from FPV only servers to TPV servers, my enjoyment in DayZ plummeted. Also, TPV gives the player a HUUUGE advantage over FPV players. To the point where you can't beat them, you must join them, or you will continue to die. This community rants about bandit skins being unrealistic and gun damage being unrealistic, but somehow the magical third eye 90% of people play with is fine. "That's realistic, because it gives ME an advantage, and that's fine!"

I play on an Origin server that is FPV only and has ~15 on average on 7 days a week.It's not listed there. Where'd you find this list and what are you filtering for? Yeah, but when the forum rants about realism and all that and how "this" isn't realistic or "that" isn't realistic or something ruins their immersion while third person spying over a wall, Rocket needs to step up and do what the community rants for. First step towards the realism we want is no third person. An FOV slider should be enabled, but no 3rd person at all.DayZ will never be the realistic zombie survival sim people want until 3rdPV is eliminated. Until then, things like suppression, effective tactics, and gunplay will be on par with COD.

Is that you, goo0gle?

The FOV change is so small from third to first person. Spam the camera switch button and see for yourself. It's only your perception of increased FOV because you can see your character and what's out of his peripherals. The game does need an FOV slider, but I seriously doubt that will change anything. People will just come up with another excuse like being aware of your immediate surroundings and such.

Use to play on Chicago 12 FP only. Sadly it closed down. I've got to say, I never ran in to a scripter playing on FP only servers. They were just too casual for me I guess! Going to be blunt here. Most people who say they'd love to play on FP only servers are lying. There are tons around with people on them, it's just people have gotten custom to peeking around corners and over walls with third person. Even I have that bad habit. Was playing ArmA 3 missions and I kept accidentally switching to third person to see over a hill. I'd usually catch myself and switch back, but it just goes to show how the habit is almost instinctive. Without it, you lose your omnipotent-like power of seeing over objects and around corners.

Am I the only one around here that feels no empathy for this copy cat? I'm not even happy he's gone, because in my books he's never been there.

But Lev, the coding to spawn in more than 10 items is just not possible in this day and age, it's just not possible..

Dean decien mucho tiempo ese Él no tiene un "Micro Transaction" sistema. Pues, Yo tengo que decir, tu idea es muy interesante. Yo voy que tu intentas a explicar. ¿El video juego da tu DayZcoins para el tiempo tu juegas el video juego y tu usas el DayZCoins a compras cosas? ¿O solo vidas? (Lo siento para me horible espanol y falta de acentos, es muy "oxidado") I think what he is saying is that you get "DayZCoins" for a certain amount of time you play and you can buy things with them and then you can also buy them. 30 hours = 30 "DayZCoins" I guess he believes this will stop spawn killing, because if you don't survive long enough, you will have to buy your next life, so people would get off the coast quickly.

Well, a friend of a friend told me he was once stranded on an island with no food or water. He escaped by tying sea turtles to his feet and swimming 'til he hit land.

Wrong Go0oo00gle.

Can we get this man a medal? Give him all the DayZ Standalone. All of it.

I concur. (Although it's an updated version, still beats the Mona Lisa)

If I'm not mistaking, I'm pretty sure you can get them from fresh UAZ spawns, along with those Russian grenades (forgot the name, ROF/RDF/Something), maybe they've fixed that, though.

SmokeShellYellow (looking into it) makes me think of the smoke shell used in the 40mm grenade launcher Nope, they're regular smoke 'nades. They're a pretty rare color, IIRC, so if he's getting them multiple times in one play session, I'd say he's: 1) scripting. 2) duping.

You're trying too hard.

I can say with confidence that by even taking the time to say this, you're more mature than 60% of the people who play this mod. It's no one's fault, it's just that the Internet got its hand's on the mod and... Well, it's the Internet. But here on the forums, it's a more mature place, I like to think. Off-Topic: I believe this was a question and not a discussion on the Standalone. If he wanted a discussion, he would've asked for one. But I will respond to amuse you.I recommend not waiting for the SA, because it has no release date and will be, presumably, very buggy on release. DayZmod is a sort of polished Alpha-Beta hybrid of the SA that will give you a general idea on what to expect. You also will get access to several different mods, that vary in core mechanics, guns, loot, and objectives. Then, by owning ArmA 2, you can delve into the pretty awesome world of ACE/ACRE MilSim, if you're into that stuff.

Spawns on Skalisty Island? How could you..

This one time I had a M9 with one mag and a group of 6 bandits walked into the house I was looting and were like "lol wtf" and tried killing me but I killed them all... ...Wow, this is fun!

What's the difference between a bandit and a zombie? One's a brainless killer and the other smells bad. You decide which is which. hue hue hue hue too funni

This would give you zero connection to your character, making immersion non existent if you just knew some kid could log on while you're logging off, see all his awesome gear he just got with no effort, run to Cherno, die, and then log off and back on until he gets another character. Number of exploitations is too damn high!

He leaved :o What will he do next?! FIND OUT IN EPISODE 2!
