Cap'n (DayZ)

You've offended me once already by taking a punch at Counter Strike players like me, but I'll give MY two cents on your opinions. #1, the map is larger than several states here in the U.S. I live in a pretty rural area(NC), and the entire Chernarus map is maybe a third the size of our state. But for a game, that's freaking huge. Imagine the textures and scripts that need to be loaded, and not to mention how good one's computer may be. #2, the majority of people who started playing in April are still playing. I've been playing since November, and more and more people like me are coming to this game. People are willing to pay hundreds, if not THOUSANDS on a computer just to play DayZ. While this may be a waste of money, it goes to show this game nor its standalone counterpart will be "dead". #3, Rocket is a freaking mastermind. He's also one of the few game devs who ACTUALLY understands what players want. While some features of the standalone I'm not looking forward to, I'm the minority and I'm happy if everyone else is happy. Rocket and the team at Bohemia are making a kick ass game and you can't accept that. #4, mentioned above in #3. Many people who don't play are waiting patiently for the standalone. Others have also purchased/built a computer JUST to play the standalone. Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. And in your case, you ain't gettin' no anal praise.

I've been thinking, is the DayZ standalone going to run off of the Real Virtuality 4 used in ArmA 3 or some kind of hybrid of the older ArmA 2 engine. From the gameplay I've seen the lighting and texture detail looks WAY better, and that was only on medium settings. So, what do you guys know?

Am I the only person happy about the new guns? I think we need more guns. Lots of guns. Big guns, little guns. Guns that make stuff blow up. I want guns that shoot roadflares. My demands must be met. There are twenty orphaned kittens that can attest to that. If my demands aren't met, they'll be drowned in their own tears. Sich beeilen!

I like what I'm hearing. I'm still worried that they'll retain the current ugly 1st person hand & arm models. That's something I would like to see improved, but from what I've read the devs are doing a pretty good job.

This is not my suggestions, just what I'm hoping to see in the standalone game. Even if most of these don't make it, I'll still buy the game. Please forgive me if its jumbled but it won't let me use enter on the post maker. First of all, I'm hoping that there will be separate spawns for both Utes and Chernarus. This would separate players a bit and give the 150 players a tiny bit more breathing room. I want to see less Western military weapons and more guns typical to Eastern Europe, with a big focus on AK variants. I'd also love to see Rocket outsource weapons from community mods, such as ACE and the RH series weapon packs. I'm also hoping that most of the current sniper rifles are removed, and that loot spawns will be handled by the server owner. And last but not least, dogs. It gets lonely for us lone wolves you know :P

Getting your first kill is like losing your viriginity. Its all a rush, and the excitement overwhelms you. After that you get a boost in ego and some lingering guilt. By the second time however, its become apparent that you're now either lucky or a serious man whore. In this case, you're either an innocent survivor put in a bad situation or a greedy bastard.

This guy has a Mac Pro. I can tell because he has two server CPU's(which work fine for regular use), but he also has a pretty weak graphics card. Why don't you go on Ebay or Amazon and look for a used/refurbished ATI Radeon HD 5870 if you can't afford it brand new. Then you'll have to install windows in boot camp, and it MIGHT work. But I don't know if ArmA can run in boot camp, so you'll have to try.

None but I have yet to master the phosphorus ignited sabre, and none shall. I hereby challenge every member of the Balota Buddies server to take me on with nothing but Hatchets. We'll see who makes it out alive. Trust me, it'll be a bloodbath of 3rd degree burns and lead paint.

Am I the only person who hums The Ride of the Valkyries when riding in a helicopter?

Wrong thread, bub. Go to the new player discussion area of the forum and look for the "Can You Run It?" thread.

But can he smite a boar with a roadflare?

Set everything to Very High and High if it doesn't have the option, and PP and AA on. Don't like 3 frames a second on your 8800GT and Core 2 Duo? Too bad, because we need to reinforce the stereotype that only rich nerdy jerks with no life can afford PC gaming. Its not like Bohemia needs money to maintain updates for DayZ and ArmA 3, right?

Not shure where to post this, so I'll just leave it here. I was just curious what graphical settings everyone plays on, as the quality of screenshots/videos on this forum varies greatly. I've been playing it with about 40 frames on Very High with AA on and Post Processing disabled, and some things set to high and medium instead of very high(like object detail and shadow detail). I see people on youtube who have pretty nice pc's that play this on pretty low settings with vegetation and shadows disabled so they can have some kind of tactical advantage(if there is one?). I don't believe in making my game look crappy just so I can squeeze out the extra frames. So brahs and brahs, what settings do YOU play on?

I lol'ed

I can take a joke, put I pray to god you aren't serious.

Same here. I've got a sort-of-mid range desktop, with a 7850 and the fx 8350. Of course, it helps to have a monstrous processor like mine because this game is pretty CPU intensive. What are your PC specs?

I play on a gender enabled server because my GF plays with me from time to time. I suggest you check if your server has gender selection disabled and move to another one, or deal with the fact that your lady friend will be manifested into a mans body. Sounds creepy, right?

I say we send this thread to where it belongs. Six feet under the ground, if you know what I mean *hint for complete morons: graveyard*

How can you put up with this?

Road flares. Why not?

If you don't like it, don't come to us and complain. You even mentioned you'd suggest things that would make the game better, but I don't see anything. And why would you complain that the scenario is unrealisitic when it DOES NOT EXIST. And shure, a lot of people KOS. But not everybody. Its a good 50/50 despite what some say, and that's what I've seen on just about every server I've played on. Why should we even bother reading this thread?

I keep a road flare drawn just in case they try anything funny. And if they do, I'll scald their eye sockets with some phosphorus badassery!

Do the test servers support 150 players like they said?

I actually managed to get on to a server Frankie was playing on. I did make it in to one of his episodes, Hunted I believe. I was the guy with an M9 in the blue van, and I had agreed to help some guys kill the bastard. Of course, we all died but I managed to hit Jack once or twice. All in all, I didn't feel like God just because I made my way into a famous streamers vid. I just wanted to kill the bastard to prove he isn't some ultimate badass as people put him to be, and it was fun while it lasted. Some of the people I met on the server were pretty cool too, and we all had similar goals. It warmed my heart to see so many people working together to be total douchebags.

The AKM is still my favorite assault rifle. It can be zeroed, has fairly good accuracy, and the highest damage among the assault rifles. Shure, it doesn't have a fancy red dot sight or scope, but it does its job well and its ammo can be found anywhere and everywhere.
