Hi. While I haven't tried crouching while fists are raised, I remember before the patch, I couldn't raise my fists while crouching. lol, maybe related... Regards.

Hi. After all the times I lost gear swimming in ArmA 2, you will never catch me swimming in DayZ :D Regards.

Hi. Maybe my description seems harsh but still valid. Easy because there simply is no easier way of doing it. Lazy because any good method that only effects people that are actually in combat would require much more coding. But as you said it's certainly better than nothing. Regards.

Hi. I was one of the non combat loggers opposed to the new system, trust me your complaints will fall on deaf ears. They had to implement some type of anti-combat log system, and for whatever reason chose the easy lazy route. All that you can do is adapt. Regards.

Hi. My game crashed today too. Making it worse was when I logged back in it spawned me just outside the front door of a military building, that I had been away from more than 5 minutes. Luckily for me there wasn't anyone around lol. One strange thing I've noticed with this patch is when I launch the game and my character loads his rifle at the menu screen, my sound system freaks out for about 5-10 seconds. It also happened once in game. This never happened to me during my 100+ hours before the patch. Regards.

Hi. I severely dislike the no-warnings on server restart as well, it almost always seems to happen to me while inside some damn military building lol, though I would strongly disagree on the buying Rust instead part. Regards.

Hi. I'm glad they implemented this, however I don't know how much it will actually stop the server hopping. In the brief time I played today, I hid and watched the player list for about 10 minutes. During that time I noticed 5 or 6 different people hop in then leave within a few minutes. Regards.

Hi. I can confirm about not being able to use ruined items, found out the hard way when my pocket full of rags were in ruined state lol. - Player now can take and hide rifle in crouched run - Not sure what that even means lol. Not so sure about the reduced spawn rate on those backpacks, I was in four military buildings and they all had at least one mountain pack, while one building had two. One thing I noticed with the animations with rifle up is that you no longer get stuck going through doorways diagonally, which is good, however now you easily see through the wall where you would previously have been stuck. This is in 1PP, have no idea how the changes effect 3PP. I would suggest checking you inventory the first time you log in, as like I said my rags were somehow all ruined, so I really had to scramble after a zed sucker punched me in a tree lol. Was kind of funny, I saw one zed coming for me ran sideways towards trees and noticed the zed didn't actually follow me, she just kept going straight, then while I crouched in a tree watching her run away the other zed hit me from behind. Regards.

Hi. I voted for the 74. In a modern soviet/former soviet state it just seems to make more sense to me. Though I don't actually have a clue if they still issue 47's anymore. Regards.

Hi. Maybe not directly, but in this engine at least, your performance is drastically effected by server performance. You can get 100 fps in single player, but if the server is bogged down at 15-25 fps yours will be shyte as well. That 5-10 fps server performance can have a huge impact on client side performance, depending on your system. Usually the better your system the greater the effect will be. i.e. if your running a system that would max out at 30 fps in single player, you probably won't notice the difference, but people with better systems will reap the rewards. Regards.

Hi. Wonder why the M4 was gone then. Maybe he was nice enough to let somebody take it, but it somehow seems more likely to me that he took the M4 and split, then this other dude found your bodies at the wrong time. Regards.

Hi. Killing some random guy that had nothing to do with the guy that killed y'all was your most satisfying experience in DayZ? LoL, am I the only person laughing at the irony between this and the thread title? Cool story tho. Regards.

Hi. Why do people have so much trouble getting semi-auto with the M4? Is there a bug I don't know about? Semi has always worked for me. Regards.

Am I the only one seeing humor in this? Give some random server, find a relatively safe spot and watch all the badasses converge on Cherno killing eachother :lol:

Hi. IIRC, dragging the wounded was in vanilla ArmA 2(though I may be confusing it with mods). If so I don't see what would be so hard about doing it with wounded mates or corpses in DayZ. Regards.

Hi. OP if you are suggesting something along the lines of a server has say 20 slots always reserved for owner and his friends/clanmates and another 20 open for whoever joins that seems like a very good idea to me. As long as there is some mechanism in place to stop people from reserving all the slots to turn the server into his own/clans personal loot farm. However TheEmgee's idea of the server randomly kicking players is terrible imo. Your looting the ATC in NWAF, or a firestaion in elektro when the server decides to kick you to let admins friend in. Wonderful, now your stuck logging into a new server in one of the worst spots. I understand that people pay for the servers(and I thank them big time), but I don't think that gives them the right to ruin the average players experience, at least not until private hives arrive. Pretty sure there's a reason server hosting rules don't allow you to kick non-abusive players. You do realize kicking people to make space for your friends can actually cause you to lose your server without refund right? Regards.

Hi. While I can't compare systems with you, this thread in new player discussion forum should be the best place to find the help you seek. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/154395-can-i-run-dayz-retail-post-here/ Regards.

Yep, I hear you. Looks like its going to take a lot of time though. Maybe we will get beta status in 10 months :blush: Regards.

Hi. Not trying to flame or anything, but I'm pretty sure they have added two "stupid gun"s to the game :blush: Besides, do you really think adding more guns is the devs top priority? Regards.

Hi. Not sure if you're bragging, but, it's easy to kill people when they haven't seen you. While those 'sucky bandits' fail pretty hard lol, at least they tried to have actual interaction and for that I applaud them, well except for the chump who combat logged because a guy had an axe lol. Regards.

Hi e47. Some very valid points, but iirc data streaming was introduced to the rv engine in ArmA 2. That's why chernarus was so much larger than their previous maps. Though maybe you are talking about streaming more than just the actual map. Regards.

Hi. Pretty sure what you want is a private hive server. They aren't available yet. Locked puplic hive servers aren't allowed because groups can exploit them as an easy gearing up server before going to pvp on the other servers. Regards.

Hi. Looks interesting, but I disagree about it being 'best looking'. I know graphics are subjective(beauty is in the eye of the beholder), but to me JC2 and most of the newer games people tend to say have the best graphics look very cartoony to me. No need to jump down my throat though, it's just my opinion, and no words can change that lol. Having that many people on the server sounds pretty amazing :D Regards.

Hi. Without those ssd's you would probably be getting a lot of lod popping. I wouldn't expect ssd's to provide much along the lines of fps improvements in games, just faster loading times. Regards.

LoL whats this? Are the server hopper tears already starting to flow? :huh: To the OP, glad you have it figured out now :D Regards.
