Hi. I agree whole heartedly. 3rd person perspective should not have been included in DayZ. It was no more than a crutch included in the engine to help rookies learn how to stay alive in OpF, Soon as you were skilled enough to crank up the difficulty 3PP and silly UT style aiming reticules were disabled. I guess it was also useful for checking out their characters ass, if that's what turns them on. ^_^ I realize more casual gamers will want the game as dumbed down as possible, for example today some people are calling for the zeds to get nerfed, lol, but really these overly casual types are basically ruining the game. I can't for the life of me figure out why it's too hard for people to use a weapons sights like they would irl. Regards. PS - I'm probably coming across as some sort of elitist douchebag, but really I'm not, I just lost all interest in the hyper-frag-snipe some guy 400 meters away while your running/bunny hopping/jumping off some 20 foot high roof arcade shooters 12 years ago.

Hi. Funny most people tend to say the zombies pose no threat at all, yet we still get people calling for nerfs :huh: This is crazy, if anything the zombies need to be made tougher, a lot tougher. Regards.

Hi. I've found them most often in non-military buildings. Think they are fairly common, last night I found 2 in one session, 1 in a regular house, the other in the restaurant/cafe. Now if I could only find a 357 :lol: Thats on a hardcore server, dunno if it makes a difference with the lootspawns or not. Regards.

Hi. I believe they labeled it 'weapon switching' or something similar. it's generally one of the first things I do after logging in. I've read in the forum(haven't tested myself) that it switches the shotgun to shoot both barrels at once. Regards. Edit: Ok scratch that, I checked in game and its labeled "toggle weapons". I get the feeling english is the second language of whomever named these commands lol. It seems a bit confusing at best, 'toggle fire mode' or just a plain 'fire mode' would be more direct.

^This. In the rv engine 3PP was never meant or designed to be used in battle. You are trying to fix something that works as intended. I guess this is why so many people were whining that they couldn't hit people 20 feet away. Learn how to use the sights ffs :lol:

Hi. This is how the silly aiming reticule has always worked in rv engine games since 2001. This isn't UT, If you aren't using your scope/iron sights your doing it wrong. Although it's great when some rookie tries to ambush you in 3PP and instead fills the ground 2 feet in front of him :lol: I'm surprised the devs even left it in. OpF and the ArmA series only let you use it at the lower skill level settings. I'm hoping Rocket will at least remove it on the hardcore servers. Regards.

Hi. Well in the case of nerfing drop rates in military tents, maybe, I dunno, to get people to alpha test the other side of the map instead of all day death match on the south coast. I was happier than a fly in pigshit when I read they nerfed them. Now after reading this about it just being a bug...meh Regards.

Hi. You have always been able to switch faces in the OpF/ArmA series. I get the feeling it's been left out here simply because its early alpha, maybe for optimization reasons. Hopefully we will get more options later. Regards.

When you spray it, the weapon(or attachment in the case of the M4) disappears, then gets replaced with a new one on the ground in front/beside you. Depending on server lag, It may take a few seconds. I wouldn't do it inside or on a hill because it may end up far away or under something. Also I wouldn't spray a mosin until they fix the ammo bug. Regards. Edit: Actually, I wouldn't spray the mosin period. In the age of plastic crap, real woodgrain has a certain appeal/nostalgia to it :)

:huh:

Hi. I sprayed the magpul parts, they work fine. As far as I can tell, you can't do the camo paintjob on them, just straight black, or green. I didn't try spraying any clips. Regards.

^This You(or the server) are lagging when this happens. I haven't really seen this going on since ArmA 1 came out. That game had serious online issues at first. Regards.

Hi. I'm glad that blood type changes. It's bad enough that clan/groups get easy mode healing. Regards.

Hi. Like it says in the google links. This happens when B.E. detects something wrong with the games memory. Usually caused by hacks, though sometimes legit arma addons that alter the exe through the memory create false positives. If a full reinstall of the game won't fix it, then, I would think B.E. support is the only place to find the help your looking for. Regards.

Hi. Easy fix: Always aim your shots. If you have time to go prone, you have time to aim. Imagine a real world combatant that hip shoots while prone lmao. They really should remove that silly aiming dot, it's even on the so-called hardcore servers. Is this why there were so many people saying they couldn't hit people 20 meters away :huh: Regards.

Hi. Are you by chance shooting in 3PP, using the silly arcade aiming dot? If you aim down the scope like you would a real gun you should hit your target. Well, unless your aiming at the ground :lol: Maybe there's some bug with the mosin I don't know of, but I've never experienced this in any RV engine game while aiming properly, though it's a well known issue for people who shoot in 3PP. Regards.

Hi. When playing as a lone wolf, I don't think healing through regeneration needs a nerf. At least not while groups can heal squad members before a firefight is even finished. Regards.

Hi. I touched the spray cans :blush: I painted the M4 magpul parts. Couldn't figure out a way to do camo though, just black or green. Regards.

Hi. Today I'm still seeing people getting booted from yesterdays ban wave. Loving it B) Regards.

Hi. The tents had way too much loot before, but yeah I guess going from getting multiple 60 round clips, hundreds of rounds and all your attachments in 1 trip, to being totally empty is kind of funny, maybe the devs are well, you know, trying to get more people testing other places on the map. On a side note I did manage to find 2 pristine m4's last night. On one server of course. Regards.

Hi. I think it's pretty random atm. I bought SA about a week after initial release and the first day I had 2 zeds come up the stairs in a schoolhouse, of course when I mentioned this before I ended up with some guys jumping down my throat here as if I was lying lol. I've also seen them not able to get upstairs, walking on floors as well as in floors. Hence why I say its random. Regards.

Hi. Last night there were some servers showing the server time of day as being daytime, and they were all full. So I'm guessing they still work. Maybe there was something about night that the devs needed to test, who knows. Regards.

Hi. Have you tried switching to the hardcore servers. Your supposed to have different characters for regular/hardcore servers so it might work. Regards.

Hi. My only gripe with the blood system is the obvious advantage squad/clan groups have over the lone wolf types. Of course it makes sense to get advantages from group play, but healing from wounds that much faster is a huge difference. Regards.

Hi. I hate the idea of them being in DayZ. When I want that, I play ArmA 3, but alas I am in the minority on this subject. Regards.
