Hi. I'm pretty much always on low-pop servers. I can't really help it, due to the time of day that I tend to be able to play, it's almost always night time in game, and I refuse to follow the sheep to 24/7 daytime servers. Regards.

Hi. I'd prefer to see 3rd person removed, rather than fixed, however since the vast majority seem to prefer being able to see things that they shouldn't, it just isn't going to happen. That fix stopping people from seeing others without proper LOS would be hilarious. People would walk out right in front of you thinking there was nobody there lol. Regards.

Hi. I don't have a bipod, but the 1st time I had an M4 it was stock with pristine oe parts including iron sights. While I never tried any ranged shots, it was easy to 1 shot agro'd zeds and had no problem taking out a player that surprised me close range inside a military building. It's why I don't understand people saying they cant hit things 20 meters away lol. Of course I run the ArmA series with the lame-arsed crosshairs off, and in 1st person view I can hip shoot targets further away than that so maybe that's why, I dunno... Regards.

Hi. I probably haven't used the m4 enough to judge, but it doesn't really seem that bad to me, unless people are trying to use it as a sniper? For easy testing I joined an empty server and shot a few zeds and used some trees for targets. With the m68 optics I had absolutely no troubles headshotting zeds at ranges of about 150 - 250 meters, and I was able to easily hit tree trunks from further out than that. My tests were done in single shot mode, both crouched & prone, with pristine optics, pristine mp grip and a worn mp buttstock. I could only see it being easier with the acog, but unfortunately, I'm yet to find a pristine one. Obviously if your game is to snipe people a 1/2km+ away then the m4 isn't for you. But if you can't hit your target under 200 meters, either your equipment is broken(they really need to show the damage level on weapons) or your just doing it wrong(especially the people who say they cant hit targets 20 meters away, I went into cherno during nighttime and 1 shot every zed that came at me). Regards.

Hi. I've never been a fan of grenades, I always removed them when making DM style maps for my friends and myself to play in OpF and the ArmA series. They are great when used tactfully, but there's something that always bugged me about people running around randomly throwing grenades, I guess I will have to adapt once they are in. I would prefer satchel charges, or some type of IED, so I can destroy peoples vehicles or high end loot buildings(preferably while people are inside looting) :P Even better they would come in handy for blowing up the hotels while there is 5 douchebags upstairs sniping unarmed spawns :lol: Regards.

Hi. While it isn't taking me the 5 minutes you posted, I did notice my game is launching much slower today. Joining servers seemed about the same. Regards.

"maybe they picked Real Virtuality because Bohemia let them use the engine while Crytek wanted 1.5 million?" Hi. That might actually make sense if you couldn't use the full version cryengine for free to develop mods or even no charge full-games. Also for independent developers that want to charge for the game, you still don't have to buy the engine(pay 1.5 million lol) they have royalty only licensing i.e. 20% of profit goes to crytek. Regards.

Hi. Going by how you set up proper fov in driving simulators, I would say neither option will portray the world the same way you would see it irl. Really, unless your playing on a projector or something similarly huge, the proper fov would need to be quite small to show the world(and everything in it) with proper proportions. Basically what I'm saying is, the zoomed view is closer to reality but still not there. Regards.

O hell no. People need to stop trying to turn DayZ into something it isn't. I'm sure if he wanted DayZ to be like the ever-so-typical AAA titles he would have made the mod with the crytek engine or UDK or something.

Hi. I think people are missing the point of these effects entirely. It isn't just there to SHOW you your injured. It's to make an injured person less effective in battle. Of course, I'm sure that's the true reason most of you are bitching about it, not because the graphics don't look so good. If anything, they should increase it, AND separate the injury-induced blur from the PP settings to keep people from turning it off. Regards.

Hi. I enjoyed private hives in the mod. There were a few that I actively played in. Sure some were no good, but once you figure out a servers settings or admins were no good you just stop playing there, not sure what the problem is. For me, the best DayZ mod experiences came on private hives with good, active admins. It was great seeing script kiddies and nimrods that sang songs in global booted and banned that fast. Also, while some preferred the vanilla DayZ mod, I enjoyed some of the user modded versions more. All public hive servers are the same, I liked using different maps, after all, variety is the spice of life. Regards.

Hi. I wouldn't want magic waypoints visible in the world ala the arma series, however, if gps's find their way into the game, I wouldn't see anything wrong with it showing your position on the GPS screen(but not on your map). Even the most basic gps in phones do this. That said, I have no problem navigating chernarus as it is. Regards.

Hi. 17 rounds? lol Try pressing "T" for single-fire and aiming with iron sights or scope, instead of full auto spraying bullets everywhere except into your target. 1 in the head or a few in the chest should drop anybody that isn't decked out in ballistic gear, nobodys taking 17 hits and surviving. Regards.

"it would be cool if high value loot only spawns into servers with lots of players" Hi. Terrible idea. I'd rather not be forced to play on carebear daytime servers. How about instead high value loot only spawns in the night time. I know that's a bad idea too, but your idea forces people to play on daytime-only servers. B.T.W. I could care less if my idea forces the carebears to play on proper servers. Daytime servers have basically ruined the game. Most times when I log in proper servers have 1-5 players whilst the daytime only servers are chock full with the carebears. Regards.

Hi. Though I've always turned mouse acc. off in other game engines, I like it in the rv engine. Anybody who thinks they can run around fully kitted(hell even with just a rifle in hand), doing 360's whilst maintaining perfect aim irl is obviously a delusional idiot. I like how in the rv engine the body and weapon have inertia, unlike all the AAA garbage games on the market. If mouse acc. is the only way Rocket can achieve this, then so be it. Go play cod or some other trashy, twitch shooter dm game. Regards.

Hi. I have a habit of being in bad places for server restarts. Twice it happened to me on the 2nd floor of the military jailhouse(or whatever the one with a jail on the 1st floor is called). The first time I logged back in long enough to get my rifle equipped when a guy ran up the stairs right in front of me, I panicked lol and twitched about 4 shots into his chest...The second time I peeked over the stairs and saw a guy crouched at the bottom, watching the front door, and since I prefer to only kill when I have to I watched and waited till he left before going on my way. Regards.

Hi. It's happened to me a few times as well. Not sure if its a bug or a server set-up issue. Regards.

"Or you will see less ppl period....lol" Hi. If those people are the DayZ deathmatch crowd then this is a good move :thumbsup: Regards.

Hi. Until they add more rifle types it will still seem like everyone and their brother has one :lol: Unless people would prefer an axe-murder competition, I feel nerfing the drops is bad. Regards.

Hi. Sorry, but terrible idea. I'm on nearly empty servers MOST of the time. Not for easy looting, but because the overwhelming majority of players only play on 24/7 daytime servers. That crap is what causes the problem your complaining about. Seems any given time I look at the list 24/7 daytime servers have at least 20-40+ players and the servers that are set up the way the game was meant to be played are almost empty(2-14 players). IMHO, 24/7 daylight servers ruin DayZ. Regards.

Hi. IMHO, its kind of odd lowering the drop rate of weapons or ammo at this stage. I've seen some of the complaints about too much ammo or guns, but I figured it was only this way because of the extremely limited types of guns available. Add more weapon and ammo types and there would automatically be less m4's and its respective ammo. Guess new spawns will have even more fun trying to evade the bambi hunters :lol: Either way, I guess they will have to adjust the drop rates again when there are more guns to choose from. Regards.

Hi. I think some of the buildings may be bugged or just not have loot spawns implemented currently. Like the barns with lofts on either side, in the mod they always had loot inside, but in SA I'm yet to find a single drop in any that I've entered. Same goes for a certain house model(don't really know how to describe the house though). Regards.

Hi. I've had that error pop a few times, but I just selected a different server and everything was OK. Regards.

Hi. It's holiday time. I wouldn't expect very much to happen this time of year. Besides its already been stated the game will not even reach beta status for a year. Regards.

Hi. If that's how you choose to play it, blame yourself, not the game. Regards.
