Cap'n (DayZ)

5930x1080? I play on mostly Very High, but I've got a res of 1280x720 so that MAY explain why its still playable for me. Oh, and did you steal that PC from NASA and hook it up to an OCTO SLI GTX 780?

Gews, I can't help but feel the greatest of pity for you. The Fellowship of The Roadflare will pray for you.

Yeah, he's one of those late-to-come console gamers who've been partially admitted into the elite society known as "pc gamers". He plays on an older ASUS laptop, and frankly can't handle much above low settings. He's been treated so harsh by poor framerates, flat textures, and expensive games that he has yet fully found a footing in this much, much superior race.

Hello everyone, I am here tonight to talk about possible expansion of Chernarus. For those of you who don't know or are ignorant pricks that never bothered to actually play ArmA 2, the part of Chernarus we actually play in is not the full country. It is but a province, only a small region of a medium sized nation. What I'd like to see is an expansion outside of our current borders, maybe occupying the current space of the debug plains. Chernogorsk is not the actual capital of Chernarus; Novigrad is the official capital if you've read up enough source material about Chernarus. Maybe there could be separate parts of Chernarus that are different maps and could be loaded by traveling "off map". This could alleviate the extra burden of expanding the current map. Anyways, how would you guys feel about the expansion of Chernarus(South Zagoria as it is now). And is anyone else out there as interested in Chernarus itself as a nation? Or is it just an unhealthy obsession and that I need to take medication?

Rocket should just abandon his social life and cater to our needs. Then he will see the true light.

I'm betting with the lighting improvements(Dean mentioned that they borrowed the majority of the lighting assets from A3 engine), and higher quality character textures and models that the standalone will look much better than the mod. Probably run better, too.

I've tried to stress that to people, but there are still a lot out there that don't care. I have a mid range PC, yet I play relatively well on highest settings(35-40 on 1366x768, 45-55 at 1280x720).

I bought the ArmA 2 CO bundle, so I got all the DLCS free(bar ACR, bought it off the side). The textures shure do look Purdy. So detailed. Well, I'll admit, the arm and hand models are blockier than World at War. But from the standalone gameplay, they seem to have fixed that problem.

Sad thing is, even people with the best pc's play on such low settings. It saddens and angers me.

COD doesn't have AA, PP, or detailed textures now does it? A2 hasn't reused that same engine with only minor tweaks in lighting and constantly porting models one game to the next, every year.

If you come near the barn South of Polana, you may run into me. I play on the same server as you. With the reputation you're building, I'd suggest you watch your back.

Hello, my name is Cap'n(forum & ingame) I'm the quiet, reserved, and friendly guy who is always willing to lend a hand to those in need.

Speaking of which, give me a moment to sharpen my bone saw.

It would be classic if someone sat there waiting for someone to refill a canteen, then pounce out of the water with a hatchet.

The laptops GPU is equivilant to a Radeon 7850, tbh

I play on ultra settings and get a comfortable 35 frames. I once asked what the recommended settings for my computer would be. Unanimously everyone said "normal" would be playable. Not only could I play high, but ultra. Everyone makes a big deal about have sixty frames all the time, but as long as you have AT LEAST 25 you're fine. For example; jackfrags has a GTX 670 and an i7 3930k. He plays on near LOWEST settings. I find it hard to enjoy DayZ videos, when even youtubers who can easily max DayZ play on the lowest fucking settings. It disgusts me really. I tried finding a decent gameplay video that showed a friend that A2 doesn't have bad graphics. The only one I found was a benchmark video. Listen, if you've paid more than 120 dollars on a gpu that wasn't a ripoff, you should be playing on high settings.

I can fly the biplane pretty well, but I can only just handle the Huey. I've crashed once before, and after that I practiced a bit and got better. Nothing impressive, but I won't kill anybody. Oh, and why implement advanced flight mechanics when you plan to remove all the vehicles?

I'd assume a 5-10 frame per second boost. They were spawning 3000 zombies before optimization, and they got around 25 frames per second. After optimization, they got 40 frames per second. And that was on highest settings, with a pretty expensive laptop(Dell M17/M18X).

Bohemia is going to make a shit-ton of money regardless of how much it costs. Thousands, maybe even millions of people are anticipating this release and have their wallets armed and loaded at the ready. Plus, Rocket will finally get that lambo and herpes he's always been wanting.

Please stop killing our brain cells.

I'd bet the ArmA community would love us if we ported Chernarus+ to ArmA 3 in the full release.

Twenty bucks seems like a sweet spot for most, and I'm not sure what the currency transfer rate is overseas.

Maybe BIS will make a DLC for ArmA 3 with a campaign taking place in a new part of Chernarus, explaining what happened to the country after the civil war. I'd pay money for that.

I'd bet it would work well, and put on less of a burden. Still, a 400km2 Chernarus expansion wouldn't be so bad. I'd say it would be best to expand into the North and a bit to the East. Then, they could develop more parts of Chernarus to travel to. Say, when you reach the border and attempt to cross, it will send you into another "server" which contains the new map.

I hope I'm not the only person here who has a serious fetish for the female player model. That's not unhealthy, right?
