    Every Day Items Turned Into Useful Things

    I think time should be spent making things that'll contribute more to game play than a bunch of junk items.

    Heavy pistol weapon idea

    Big deal, pistols are pistols. Whats the difference? Its a gun, and from what I understand you don't classify pistols with "heavy" and "light". Its just a pistol, it'd be easier just to mention the pistols you want to see implemented by name. Not like anyone would care.

    DayZ Standalone map editor

    My dreams are crushed! Anyways, I'd prefer it to be a private hive thing. Someone could make their own private hive map, and choose to make it public or keep it to themselves. And people could choose pre built maps. The map editor would be similar to Visitor 3 or based off of Visitor 4, so it wouldn't be easy enough for any noob to make a map(probably a good thing). The map editor could have all of the new buildings pre scripted with loot spawns, and road painters and terrain painters, and the ability to place wrecks and environmental features. What's not to like?
  4. From my experiences, PvP frequency is not too bad up North. I can understand your concern about losing your gear, btu what fun is this game without taking a risk. I travel all along the North every day just so I can keep myself busy, and as long as I'm vigilant and not being a total noob, I don't usually run into people. Since I don't make camps, I have to rely off of looted food and wild animals. As easy as it may sound to hunt, animals aren't always around so I do travel out sometimes. I also enjoy hunting for cars at their respective spawns, and I do delight in the occasional NWA trip. What I'm trying to say is, taking risks makes this game fun and as much as I hate dying, PvP is a helluva a lot fun.

    Can I Run DayZ Mod? (POST HERE)

    Hey guys, I'm thinking of getting a new laptop but I'm having trouble finding what I want. You see, the majority of decent gaming laptops carry Nvidia graphics cards. Now that's fine and all for others, but I have brand loyalty to AMD and I'd prefer to get a laptop with an AMD GPU and an Intel CPU in the sub 1000 $ dollar range. It has to be equal to or better than a GT 650m in terms of gaming performance and I'd prefer that it has an Intel CPU as AMD mobile processors aren't all that good. It should be a minimum of an i5, and I'm okay with getting a laptop that's a little older, but no too old as I'm trying to replace my current(ASUS G73Jh). I'd prefer a quick response, and no trolling/fanboyism. (I understand some of you have a prejudice against laptops, but I'm asking an honest question and stop being assholes and telling people to get a desktop. They are usually getting a laptop for a reason!)

    A 7770 is better than a 650 -_-

    High 30 FPS @ 1080p, High 45 FPS @ 720P. Normal will get you 40-50 FPS depending upon resolution. If you desire more than 60 frames, you'd have to switch to mostly Low. I'd recommend you just turn down the resolution and go with a mix of High and Normal, so it doesn't look like shite.

    GTX 670m is similar to a GTX 650 Ti, GTX 660m is similar in performance to a GTX 650, and the GT 650m is similar to a GT 640. All of these can run DayZ on high above 30 frames. If you want 60, you'll have to do some scaling back on resolution and settings. Anything above those can run DayZ on high. AMD mobile GPU's, they are either High end or Low end, no Medium end like Nvidia. The 7850m is a little bit better than the 660m, and the 7870m is between the 660m and 670m. The 7790m is VERY close to the 660m in terms of performance. There isn't really an AMD equal to the GT 650m, as its just smack dab in the middle of the performance spectrum.

    Did he run it in 720p resolution? That pretty much gives you a 50% framerate boost, and my laptop is 900p so I get a lesser performance increase but there still is one.
  11. I would like the areas west of South Zagoria to be added. There are already three community maps showcasing full terrain of Chernarus, and it could be like fast travel when you reach near the end of the map.

    I doubt an integrated graphics chip could get by with medium, especially the HD 3000. The new Haswells? Maybe, but you'd spend a shit ton of money on one of those. AMD? Maybe. But not an HD 3000. Your laptop could handle medium easy. Its got a better GPU than my current one(5870M, Asus G73Jh) yet I can run high pretty well. I'd bet you could run high even better.

    Its a quad core mobile i7...it'd run similar to a mid end i5, maybe the 3330 or 3470. Its not THAT bad.

    Who is your best friend in Dayz?

    I vote AS50 firing squad

    Who is your best friend in Dayz?

    Some days it feels like your best friend is your own hand. Until you find a female survivor, and come to find out that's it really a cross dresser. Of course the first time I actually found a girl in DayZ it was unusually awkward. It made it worse that she was my hostage. Gave me a good excuse to feel "rapey" :)

    How about a river?

    Damn it, someone help me create an over stereotypical British gypsy so I can show my utter indifference to having a river. Britons, aren't you willing to help an ignorant American brother?

    Snakes

    This brings back the nightmares I had back when the Harleys kept me in the insane asylum...those damn Harleys, damn Harleys, Harleys, uhmghm.

    Anyone get pre-Alpha invite?

    Stop you reddit bastards, you're stealing our beloved rocket!

    Anyone get pre-Alpha invite?

    I'd prefer to threaten removal of his genitalia by force. Nothing comes between a man and his loins. NOTHING.

    Comic Series: Nooby McNoob

    Actually, Elektro is originally from ArmA 2 and therefore he would be sued by Bohemia for stealing that name. Anyways, the last bit of Rocket entertained me.

    Creepy stuff

    Don't worry, I heard roadflares are very affective against ghosts and transparent hipsters. But first, you must master the art of road flare(the space makes it special). I could take you in, but it'll come at a price. 19.95 USD, not including shipping and handling, roadflares will not be provided so you must bring your own.
  24. It'll benefit us because Rocket and team will make more money off a console release because it would cost more and more people play on the consoles. Some console players have given up the console for dayZ or are waiting for a console release, so there is already an audience. Not that I'm glorifying them, console players are on a much lower level than us. That's right guys, embrace elitism. They have nothing against us that they can back up, so why should we care?
  25. My old GPU(5770) could chug along at a variable mix of High and Normal. I had a Core 2 Quad oc'ed to 3.2 ghz(I remember the days when 3ghz was a high clock speed). I just don't understand why people assume you need a monster PC to get past low settings. A 700$ PC will do fine on high provided you've picked the right parts.
