I don't know why there is so much hostility in this thread lol. I have no problem with it, but I agree 100% with what you said about the media groups, that is all that the DayZ community needs right now. Plus, I can't wait for the time when the greatest thing in the history of trolls, tea-bagging, is replaced by literally shitting on somebodies grave... Here's a graph of the new way Day is played. :) ---> :beans: ---> :emptycan: ---> >:( ---> <_< ---> >:( ---> :thumbsup:

The idea of things like this has just gotten annoying to most that play seriously. This game isn't some, Call of Duty, League of Legends, World of Warcraft bullshit. Sorry dude, but if you want to level up, migrate to a game where fucks will be given when you present a valid suggestion. Here, you will only be met with hostility and '*facepalm*s'. In DayZ, you start off with Bandages, a Flashlight, Painkillers, and an 8 slot bag to hold your things; 99% of the serious, non-newbie DayZ community, myself included, doesn't want that to change any time soon. These perks and abilities you speak of, well, would most likely do just that. Not necessarily does it mean you'd start off with more than the average player, but over time, you would have aventage over others, and in DayZ... NOBODY technically has advantage over anyone when it comes down to it (minus script sissies). When it comes down to it, the only thing that seperates the men from the dead in DayZ, is honestly the will to survive virtually. Many may look at that statement as weird, but trust me... I have seen some bambis do some messed up shit.

Exactly what I was talking about. lol

Screenshots, records, game logs. Or you could make a complaint and see where it goes. I have had problems with admins before, but just moved on. Not worth getting so worked up over.

"It's a game I play on the interwebs."

I don't know whether to laugh at this post, or make serious discussion. <-- No offense meant. On one hand, I can see great things come of this. On the other, I see chaos. Imagine someone in a firefight that just randomly whips an AK at someones face, or people throwing M1911s and Makarovs at each other. Crushing rabbits and chickens under Car tires and engines, gathering all the random shit you can to try and Brett Farve a zombie in the face from 50m away. Pure insanity... It's not a terrible idea though dude. It would add to game mechanics and make the game more realistic, once they worked out the bugs (which always takes ages).

I second that motion.

Well, I play on Maxed settings, nd all I have to say is... Good luck finding them tiny little shits in the grass bud. Maybe in the city streets, but I can sure as hell tell you that IF I'm in cherno, the last thing I'm gonna do is zoom in to look at something on the ground that could cause me to see the same thing, fly inbetween my eyeballs.

I don't think that there was a bug man. Lol. Friend of mine has two LEGIT, I stress legit, AS50s. One is in his ural, and one in his tent. He usually carries his DMR, but always logs off at camp. They were there yesterday, and they were there 25 minutes ago.

Hell yes my man, you got my beans. Some bambi stole my UAZ with a M16 M203, 5 HE rounds, and 2 G17s in it while I was killing aggro'ed zeds to refuel in Kamenka two days ago. I hunted his ass from Kamenka to Elektro where he ran out of gas, with a DMR. Ended up turning into a warzone beacause he had met up with his little buddies. Sucks for them that an AK can't reach 650m out, lol. Needless to say, one of the little butthurtee's was obviously a script kiddie, because I suddenly stood up and broke into a little jig before being shot with an AS50 in the back of the head.

Get where you're coming from, no idea where the hell you're going. No way standalone will have extreme rare weapons, not a chance. They also won't OP zeds. DayZ is a survival sim, survival involving zeds AND other players. If you have a problem with CoD kiddies, then don't play lol. I say it's just another person I can get away from. No, there isn't a nessicary reason to S.O.S, but you think in a real life SHTF/WROL/Zombie Apocalypse that people wouldn't shoot on sight? If you do, then you're dreaming man. Not everyone want's a team holding them back, making them do what the team decides to do. You need to wake up dude. P.S, I don't S.O.S, unless that person has something I want, or gets too close.

Being a bandit isn't about killing fresh spawns, those sissies: A) Take a whole mag and almost die trying to kill someone with a hatchet; B) Are often rude, trolling, backstabbing, assholes; C) cannot shoot or lie to save their lives. I have chosen to be a hero once, and a bandit numerous times. The play style of a bandit, a real bandit, has to have some sort of code for doing things. I never shoot fresh spawns, I do not shoot everyone, and I do actually play the game. I don't just hunt others, and I will help the ocassional person, particularly bambis that are getting killed/attacked. Too frequent are the bambi killers and drunken snipers. Right now I have -20k humanity, fully geared, and just killed some poor sap at Balota holding an AK trying to sneak up on me while I was messing with a group of 4 bandits by throwing flares at them in broad daylight from 100m away (LOL); shot em' in the forehead from 50m away with G36C while he peeked from behind a tree to take me out. I choose to be a bandit because, honestly you cannot trust anyone in this game, not even heros, and I play solo. When you lone wolf it, you tend to be much more careful, and will shoot on sight.

I practically piss myself everytime I walk through an un-noticed swamp and all of a sudden hear loud water sounds.

The way you play is up to you, I just don't get people that play like this. The key component of dayz is playing with others.

You're not the only one man, I have experienced possibly every script there is out there. I play 100% legit (I don't take gear or weapons I have the slightest feeling are hacked, no combat logging, no despawning, no recycling, no exploiting of any kind) the most I have ever done is die every once in awhile to get a better spawn if I'm in like BFE. Nothing sucks more than having someone replace my DMR, M107, or even M16A4 ACOG with a bunch of tempting gear that I am going to drop, and a Ghillie that I feel filthy wearing (lol). Or spawning on a bus 12,000m off the map, and being forced to jump out fully geared. Or my personal favorite, being spawned in the ocean/no-return island and having to watch your avatar helplessly float there and starve to death. I recently just started playing on 'private hives', and feel disgusted doing so. I don't feel like I would if I was on a public server. What is worse, is that a lot of the admins of these hives are no better than the damned script kiddies. The most recent server I have been playing, I had just gotten fairly geared with a friend of mine (him: M249 SAW w/ 2 belts, British Pack, food and drink to make two map trips; me: M4A3 CCO w/ 2 1/2 mags, British Pack, Rangefinders, surplus food and drink) and we had found a UAZ, so we fixed it and took it. I had a Fishing boat parked between Cherno and Elektro that we were gonna grab and take to Skalisty to possibly find a chopper, but I decided to check out Rog first. We get up to Rog, and what do we find? Fully green UH-1H huey with a Bambi looting it. We ask him to join us, he doesn't respond, gets out, and proceeds to fire on us with an Enfield. Friend takes him out with a few shots to the body; no biggie. We take the Huey and start strafing fields to find Heli Crashes. We do that for a few hours, and then he decides to hang it up for the night. He parks the Heli WAYYYYYYYY up in a tiny clearing miles from any travelled route where we know nobody would go (by the edges of the map). He dropped me off back at the UAZ and I drove it back up there, parked it about 400m away from the heli to avoid losing it aswell, and hid it in three pine trees where it was COMPLETELY INVISIBLE, then wrote down the coords. on a sticky note and stuck them to my computer desk, and log off DayZ for the night. I log back on THIS MORNING, to check our stuff, and it is all gone. Huey, UAZ, and the two tents I had also set up. We know this wasn't a reset, because it wasn't due for a reset till tonight, and we know it wasn't a hacker. So, that leaves the admins. Which I can tell you for a fact, because they have been using their admin maps to build a 'base' with all the vehicles on the map, they were talking about it in side chat with each other, but I never got a screen of it. Kicker is, that one of the admins had been giving me and my buddy problems about esping, why? I do not know, but I'm thinking it is because we had found the UAZ in the middle of the woods, and he had done a shitty job of hiding it. So he blamed me and my friend for esping, and told us we were being put on watch, when me and my friend both know we have been plaiyng 110% legit. Point I'm getting at with this short story, is that you really are never safe in DayZ from cheating until the standalone. Combat logging, Exploiting, Admin Abuse, and Script Sissies all make me sick, because like you, I love playing this game. I go to work, I go to school, I deal with my wife, and this is the shit I do to blow off steam for 2-3 hours before bed. Suprising how easily a 12 year old moron that thinks he's funny because he just came from CoD: BO2 or BF3 and can't play a combat sim for shit so takes it out by cheating, can ruin your day, and your 30 day survival streak.

Well, clearly this is a question about running DayZ. However, to your relief, it is not the usual "can my computer run this". I'm just wondering the best settings I could probably get max or close to max FPS on. I'm fresh to both PC gaming and 'high-end' desktops, as I'm getting my first gaming build in a few weeks. Here are the specs: -Intel Core i5 3350P(3.10GHz) -NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 1GB -8GB RAM If anymore info is needed, then here is the setup itself: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16883227443 About what would you play this setup at? Everything Low? Medium? High? Very High?
