Nah, he was some moron that has a problem with me because I let an admin know he was spamming. Now he just does it whenever I'm on. I do ignore it most of the time, but when I'm bored I can't help egging it on. rofl

Most of my facepalm moments come from this forum... lol

Look at the cute little smiley face.... so cute. It pretty much comes down to playstyle... If you don't want to risk getting infected, then don't use melee. If you want to take a chance and reap the reward of not aggro'ing everything within 100m, then go for it. This is a realistic game. Do you think if there ever were a real apocalypse with zombies that you'd be able to get bitten and scratched by rotting corpses filled with bacteria, and not get infected? IMO this infection system makes the game SO MUCH BETTER. Now you're scared to go near zombies, when in a firefight zombies are actually a threat instead of a bother that you should run from. Instead of setting up position within range of aggro, you now have to take zombies into consideration.

Dean isn't my 'hero', I do however have the utmost respect for someone that deals with thousands of tools like you on a daily basis. You're merely another one of those 'conspiracy' nuts that thrives on knocking the game and its progress. I honestly don't care about all the devblogs and news from rocket, because that means the game is getting worked on. I wouldn't care if the standalone isn't released till next year either, because I'm a loyal and patient member of the DayZ community who values content over selfishness. You sound like you need to take a break from DayZ, and go simmer down somewhere else before you have a stroke from all your hissy fits. I love how you magically know what is actually happening with the development with the game, and when it will not be released. I'm sure we're going to be looking at a 2015 release date, that has to be on the top ten list of stupidest things that were said with seriousness I have heard on this forum, and there have been some REAL fuckin idiots on here. It's okay lok, it's not to hard to keep cool around tools that are intent on using harsh language and bright text to get their points across. GF four letter words.

He's looking for a partner, not a troll with useless posts. Take your worthless self somewhere else. Now, on topic. How old are you?How long have you been playing?What is your play style?Have you ever thought of joining a clan?

Aye yigh yigh.... Every thread about people looking for clans is a breeding ground for Copy+Pasters.... I need to know a few simple things Infiltrates... How old are you?Do you have Teamspeak?How long have you been playing DayZ?What are your system specs?What mods/versions are you okay playing?

No, I'm merely at a loss for words at how ignorant some people are. :D

You wouldn't happen to have been stoned when you thought of this? JW

I don't know what you're seeing with these links. There is nothing there to even hint SA actually releasing. They are merely announcing playable versions that are going to be at gamecom, not hinting at a release of the game at all.

Makes thread based around part of game that is no longer valid. Takes only his opinion into consideration throughout the entire thread. Gets angry at people who disagree. I'm sorry, I can't stop lol'ing at this thread. This is a classic case of someone not having the skills to do something right, and then coming to a forum and complaining about said thing being useless in the game. I can use melee just fine, however I haven't been able to kill anything with a tin can yet... therefore they are pointless in-game. I should go make a thread about it! Then I can get angry at people who disagree with me aswell! :O

You honestly think that is going to take 5+ months? No. Plus, this is an APLHA. Rocket has said himself that people shouldn't be expecting much from the Alpha, and not to buy into it for a few months after release if you want a full game. In my honest opinion, NOBODY should be this excited. 90% of the people that buy SA alpha are going to bitch and moan about how shitty it is, and about how it isn't a full game... EVEN THOUGH Rocket clearly stated that it wouldn't be a full game. They could go ahead and post this in the cart when people go to buy it: ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA What would happen? People would still bitch about it.

16 posts on the forum, knows the SA won't be out this year. Seems legit. You know as much as we do, so sit down and shut up. I find it funny that the only people that ever throw out any 'info' about the SA are people with under 50 posts. The SA has been in development for a long while (aka the DECEMBER release date LAST YEAR). If they were even slightly thinking about releasing LAST YEAR, what does that tell you about its progress? What do you think they were gonna release? Pac-Man 2? Rocket is doing what he can, he isn't the whole team. I just wish brainless twits like you would hop off his ass and stop jumping to conclusions. You act like Dean Hall IS the DayZ dev team, and whenever something goes wrong he is the sole person to blame. Honestly he has more balls than most of the people in the community for taking the heat this long and not going crazy.

Looks pretty solid, and not too expensive.

While true, it is hard to have a compelling argument with an idiot, so he has a point. Awesome, you trust the devs... congratulations. But still the point remains. You have not the slightest idea what it is like to run a server of your own. Would you want to pay 30 dollars a month and take your chances at having a server that nobody plays on? Would you? If you say yes, then you ARE an idiot. Fact of the matter is, people don't play on vanilla servers anymore, because they want something new. There are just so many servers out there that if every one of them was vanilla, there would never be a point to owning a server. On top of that, if owning a private hive wasn't available or wasn't appealing, we wouldn't have (almost) hacker free servers to play on. Public hives/non-admined private hives are a breeding ground for hacking, you know it, I know it, we all know it. I find it hard to argue with someone that doesn't know what they are talking about. As a former top-ranked server owner, I know without a reasonable doubt what dealing with DayZ servers and their popularity is like. You, do not have said experience, therefore you can't reasonably make an argument. If you owned a private hive with your ideals, then you'd be out of business in a month tops. So, why don't you just stick to your Vanilla servers, and go comment somewhere you are needed instead of stinking up a perfectly good thread.

:(((( We all gotta eat lok. I never knock anyone elses lifestyle, I just can't seem to understand where people come from on this viewpoint. Everyone else that tries to explain it always comes off as a mad lunatic PETA nut...

While what you say may be true, Arma is a very strangely optimized game. It requires a high end CPU to run. I'm not good with anything related to AMD, but I can from that 2.1GHz that it isn't the best. Strange that you have been getting such low fps... Seems like everyone is having trouble with their fps lately, lol. Try playing with your settings and read this: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/28160-guide-how-to-set-up-your-graphics-properly/ Other than that, I can't do anything more. It's hard to troubleshoot when you don't have to PC in front of you.

Is your system running hot? Is your case clean? Are vsync, AA, and PPAA disabled? When is the last time you did a defrag? Have you changed anything at all since you have seen the FPs drop? Edit: 30 is playable, your GPU beats mine, however... I'm not sure about that i7.... I can't find any bench info on it so I couldn't tell you, but that probably has something to do with it.

This one is confusing.... He should be running at tip top shape......Fuckin' A. All I have left to suggest is doing a complete system Defrag, verifying all your caches, and possibly even uninstalling/reinstalling A2 & A2OA and DayZ Commander and doing another defrag after that is done.... Doesn't make any sense that you are running this low of fps with vsync off, a stable internet connection, a cool PC, and those specs. Maybe technology just hates you dude... idfk. Maybe open your case and clean it? You said you have no other problems aside from just with DayZ..... You might wanna bring a priest in or something, perform an exorcism on that shit. I can't think of anything else to suggest.. the only other reason I can think of to cause such issues is that your files are all out of whack. If nothing else works than uninstalling/reinstalling is your best bet.

Is your system running hot? I'm not seeing any reasons why it wouldn't be running at max settings, a 3570k is more than enough to run DayZ.

You should be running max settings with these specs. Do what Ben said and disable Vsync.... that is what is locking your frame-rate. While your at it, disable Anti-aliasing, PPAA, and Vsync aswell. Hit your view distance @ 3,000-3,600 and match your Res with your 3D @ 1920x1080p. Makes sure your internet has a strong connection and you'll be running 60+ fps @ maxed settings.

Even though I'm feeling very techie today... I can't help with this one. Haven't had any experience with SSD. But out of curiousness, what are the sizes and models of both your HDD and SSD? I have been looking to go with a lone SSD option for awhile, but I may just go with both.

You said you had it clocked @ 2.4 but then restored it to factory? Why? Was it over heating? If not I'd suggest going back to those settings. Also, post other specs... GPU, exact CPU model... What settings are you running? Need more info

The great can debate -> the great bigfoot debate..... Prepare your anuses....
