The general consensus about this everywhere else this has been posted is positive. People want this, and it should be implemented. Like my god. Some of you have issues distinguishing fantasy from reality...

I can't believe people are really like "EW" in a zombie game. You've seen worse in other horror games. But this, nah this is over-the-top and disgusting! Think of the children!

This is disgusting to people? It's a representation of something, it's not real. If I was confronted with such a sight in real life, yes I would be disgusted, but tis' a game and is not real. It's just a depiction.

So, it seems the latest experimental the crossbow no longer one shots. I had some asshole try to kill me with it in an ambush. Shot me 4 times with the bow and it didn't do all that much damage. He even complained over chat that it "usually" kills in 1 hit. Actually the first time i've encountered someone using the xbow as a weapon, and it really didn't do that much damage. Can anyone else confirm the xbow is complete crap?

I had to axe the guy to death. Made me bleed, and scramble for rags, but like why try?

Uh it helps maintain erections and stuff. I don't want to go into it that much, google is your very graphic friend!

It's not a gun part, it's a cock ring.

It barely impacts FPS at all. Like, it's so marginal, I don't even.

Well, I for one.. if I found a tank.. I would hope in that sucker and do my best to try and operate the driving portion of the operation. Or convert it to scrap metal, or just convert parts of it.

Oh, because I have access to a exploit the same as you means it's fair because we can both use it? That's not how it works.. You shouldn't be using that to your "advantage". 3PP isn't a "tool" that's just idiocy. So you enjoy peeking over walls with 0 risk to yourself in PvP. I get it, you're a cheater, you like to abuse something like that for an edge over another person. Cool.

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiet. Oj was innocent man, like totally innocent man!

No point in trying to argue rational and logical thoughts with him. He's got a hard on for 3PP and is unable to reach climax. He doesn't understand, and no amount of explaining will even make him consider his view is skewed.

Are you mentally deficient?

Yes I did, and know what I did on my 3PP character? I sat in a bush with 3PP on; near a highly traffic'd area in Berezino. (Policestation) and fired indiscriminately at any passer by. Killed 2 fresh spawns, just using the 3PP dot for hipfire. I could see outside of the bush, and I was concealed very well. Hopped onto my first person character went to a bush and guess what I was greeted with! My screen was covered in foliage! I couldn't see through my concealment to kill other players!

You let me know first there champ.

3PP is a PLAYSTYLE now? Gosh darnit! I thought 3PP was a view perspective! It shouldn't have ANY ramifications on an actual playstyle. (Like hero, survivor ect) 3PP is a fucking crutch, when I can hide around a corner and camp it, wait for someone to come along who has 0 fucking chance of knowing what's on the other side of that corner, but you're there, waiting fully concealed with 0 risk to yourself to gather that intel, that's a fucking crutch. Simple as that, you can't defend something so inherently broken like that. It's just not possible. You cheapen the experience for yourself and others. DayZ from Day 1 should've been 1PP, it gives everyone equal footing in all situations. Not one person has an advantage over another person because one person can have 100% situational awareness with no consequences to themselves. It's a risk vs reward thing, like in the video. You can scream and shout all you like, but the point still stands, 3PP is a crutch and needs to be FIXED or removed.

That's due to their own lack of situation awareness. There is a difference between getting sneaked upon by someone with the capability to kill you from range, but with a melee weapon, a good stealthy kill is impossible, you can see like 5 feet behind you. I don't see you explaining how 3PP isn't a gamebreaking problem with the game. Also, if I was talking out of my ass it would be a fart.

It's pretty much impossible to sneak up on someone camping in a building with 3PP, it gives you all the advantage with no risks. It's stupid, it's pointless and it needs to go. Don't give me the bullshit you want to see your character, in all his leet gear. That's just shit. 3PP damages the whole "Hardcore survival" aspect. It gives you a wider FoV, allows you to see over objects you shouldn't. It removes almost all the tension in the game, that's an awful thing for a game that's considered "Horror" It always seems like the 3PP crowd has no legs to stand on about this topic. Tell me how 3PP helps promote fair gameplay. It doesn't.

Game should never have had 3PP in the first place. It detracts so much from the experience. You like having 100% situation awareness because of your god vision floating above you? It's absurd. It's pointless and does nothing but harm what this game is supposed to be about. I mean for god sakes, you can't even SNEAK up on a person who is using 3PP because they can fucking see you coming up behind them. It makes stealthy melee ambushes totally out of the question because they can see behind their heads without even needing to look away from what their looking at; at the time.

I'm for an over-the shoulder kind of feel, but something that doesn't give you ESP.

Wouldn't mind a Russian T-Series chassis used as a base for an improvised APC like the Kangaroo carrier. Would be fun to play around with. (They just need to add shooting from vehicles with rifles. (Seen it in a VBS2 video so it's entirely possible, don't let them lie to you and say it's not.) Or any APC with tires like the LAV just make the main cannon non-functional or blown up or w/e. But a good base for further end game vehicle modifications. It's not like those vehicles have disappeared. I wouldn't mind it, since we'll be getting small improvised explosive devices. I wouldn't mind a few AT launchers with rare as hell ammunition. Hell, make an AT-4 launcher rare as hell spawn, and can ONLY fire 1 shot, then the weapon is useless. (Like real life) I wouldn't mind tanks as long as the main gun can not be used. I don't want to see players leveling structures with the gun, but using the vehicle it's self as an battering ram against fortifications. I think of them as mobile fortress. Protection for the crew but almost 0 combat capability for the endgame.

The solution is this; The camera is locked in the position behind you. You can not look around with ALT with 3PP enabled. You must turn your body to adjust the camera.

Not over-powered. An annoyance if you didn't have one and a god-send if you did. I would usually trail the debug zone looking for choppers hidden in crevices and valleys of the debug hills. Once I found a working one, or a stash that had the supplies to get one running, I would use it to scout for bases and look for the locations of cars. Once I found what I was looking for and knew the areas I should be searching I would bail the chopper into a main city like Cherno or Electro. If I survived the landing I would go start looking at the grids where I spotted stashes and cars. Even got into a few helicopter duels with other clans. Those were fun. Huey is easy as fuck to take down with anything that fires 7.62 and took more work if you were using something that used 5.56 but it still banged those babies up nice. The gunners were exposed so easy as hell to just spray and at least wound a gunner, and that usually forces the chopper to get out asap to bandage or risk loosing their gunner and if they did lose a man, that left them exposed for tracking so they could go pick up their buddy. The MI17 though.. that thing is too beastly to be armed, just no matter what you do, the .50's even had trouble going through the glass. No MI17's that are armed pl0x. I would like to only see civilian versions of that whale. And don't get me started on the little bird thing was easy to swat. It was like that annoying fly.

So, a guy named N-word Jim offends you? Really? It's the internet, get over it really. "BUT I'M OFFENDED FOR OTHER PEOPLE." They should get over it too. You won't and can't limit what people will call themselves on the internet, especially where there is anonymity. Just get a thicker skin and point your nose up because you're above them, that's about it.

Uh.. derpity derp derp? The 7.62 could literally smash a Hueys main rotor. Took more 5.56 but the both worked equally well. Sure it was difficult to land good shots on a moving huey, but that's why you play smart and ambush the chopper when it needs to hover, or is flying low. I've taken out many a pilot by leading my shots and just firing. It's not guaranteed but it can be done, requires luck and skill. The MI17 however.. that thing was a flying tank. Amg.
