Of course they aren't the same game. I just used my most recently benchmarked AAA title(and bioshock is regarded as one of the best looking games of the year by many). I can say that I easily got 40 fps in the Arma 2 dayz mod on high/ultra, and I don't get anywhere near the 20fps I get here on any other title I own, whether that be GW2, Tomb Raider, or Rome 2. I promise, I know what I'm talking about. But all of that's beside the point. I'm hoping by the time optimization is done I can pull a consistent 30 fps. That's super playable.

Just a PSA of sorts. Tons of people keep asking why they get such low fps and how to fix it. Simply put, I don't believe it's your fault and there isn't anything you can do at the moment. The standalone is simply not very well optimized right now. I'm sure it will be much better as time goes on, but it is very early in the game. For comparison, I'll use a game I bought at the same time as DayZ, Bioshock Infinite. Running on ultra, I consistently average 53 or so fps in all areas. In DayZ on a combo of high/medium, I'm sitting at 20ish on average. I run almost every other game at around the same fps I get on Bioshock. All in all, I think we are all getting low fps right now, simply because the alpha isn't optimized yet. So, just be patient. It WILL improve.

How's the customization of vehicles and bases compared to Origins? Can you build your own village as in Origins, if not, what is there instead? Thanks!

Hi, I'm a longtime Dayz player looking to get into Origins. I can be a good guy or a bad guy, I'm open to all kinds of groups. If anyone is looking for somebody to play with, I'd be happy to help! Thanks.

Do we need to PM you op?

I'm definently interested, it sounds like a fun time.

The point of TS isn't to get an advantage. It's to talk to your friends. A lot of people simply want to hang out with their group while playing video games, and it just so happens they are on this one. They would be using TS whether playing WoW, DayZ, or My Little Pony. It's just a social thing.

Name: Josh Age: 18 TeamSpeak Name: thejoshknight Mic: Yes, I use Turtle Beach X12's Why do I want to join: I've played for a while by myself, so I'm interested in how playing as part of a group will go. Experience in game, 1-10: 6 Timezone: US Central Time Bio: I'm an 18 year old high school Senior. I'm much better at killing players than zombies for whatever reason. Maybe it's the awful zigzag the zombies do. Anyway, I follow directions, get along with almost everyone, and am generally a laid back guy. IGN: Josh How long I've played: Since August of last year. So for about 9 months now. There was about 2 months in there I did'nt touch the game though. How often do I play a week: It depends on what else I have going on. This week will be my Spring Break, so probably a lot. Once school starts back up, a few days a week in the evenings and on weekends. Any questions? Nope.

Bump.

I'm interested. I played DayZ for a few months a while back, then figured I'd wait until the actual game came out. I come back an find that it's still not out, so I might as well start playing again!

I'll be adding you on skype later tonight, group sounds great!

I haven't. I'm playing Minez until this is released standalone, which according to rocket is targeted at 4 months or less :) Although I do regret paying 30 bucks for something I only used for like a month. Oh well, I'll play arma eventually.

My thoughts exactly. I just don't understand some people in this world. It's like logic and common sense doesn't even phase them.

Yeah, they weren't the brightest bunch, but I'm amazed they didn't dc during the situation,and I respect them for it. Though, I didn't find a smoke grenade on them, which suprised me, since they had hit most spawns up before me. The sniper was probably the weirdest kill of the bunch. I don't believe he noticed me in the apartment, it was getting dark on the server, and I was at a bad angle for sighting me. The only reason I noticed him was I was passing between both walls as they both had windows, and I noticed him walking around on the firehouse. Was gonna let him go till I saw the sniper rifle, then dropped him at that point.
