    Great alternative to the action menu

    I do like the way that the icon pops up in front of you when you glance at objects. It's unique and very usable, and makes actions really quick. Still compared to say BF3, it is very outdated. I think we just need a button to interact, ie keep G for gear but have E for interact, say to get in a car or out with ease and without having to scroll. Great video by the way, yet another enlightenment from you. :)

    I'm overwhelmed by tactical-ness.

    Looking for a survivor to film Dayz videos with

    Looking for someone to film with, yet you don't have the PC to film... Why make the thread? Also, please post your specs and I can give you advice on upgrades you could consider. :)

    DayZ Standalone Discussion

    Think about it realistically. In real life, it's hard to fit an underbarrel grenade launcher as well as a foregrip. Most modern firearms have one or two rails, and very rarely 4 or more. On an AR-15, for example, a typical loadout could consist of an 8x zoom scope, as well as a bipod and foregrip, turning it from a versatile assault weapon to a more specialised weapon for longer range support. I imagine the weapons in standalone will conform to real life standards, so you will only be able to fit so many attachments on one gun. An ACR (adaptive combat rifle) for example, was designed specifically to be modified for situations. They can have as many as 4 rails, so I imagine on weapons like that you would be able to mount many more attachments. So to summarize, I'm no standalone expert but if it's based off real firearms, then it will differ by gun what attachments you can add.

    Your Opinion on Dayz Standalone Progress So Far (Gamescom)

    Well. DayZ standalone, though having progressed slowly so far, seems to be getting where Rocket wants it to. My worries aren't around graphics, items, HUD, field of view or anything like that, but more so existing issues. For example, we are still yet to see any ideas directly intended to combatting a kill on sight mentality, and that's what disheartens me the most. There is no doubt that the standalone will be significantly better than the current game, but existing issues may turn it into a repeat of the bloodbath of inhumanity that is DayZ mod. Though intentionally a psychological thriller/post apocalyptic game, DayZ, for some, seems to have taken a turn for a first-person shooter with added zombies. I sincerely hope there are no "22nd ground forces - Spawn with AS50, Ghillie suit, M9 SD Swag Yolo if you don't like us kill yourself" type servers in the standalone. All I can say is that existing issues may ruin a yet to be created game, if not countered properly.
  9. You should look into this getting officially hosted. Besides, why enter if you can't win prizes? You need some sponsors. I would recommend talking to some of the DayZ staff about it, and perhaps taking your own spin on it rather than directly copying a previous event. Just my 2 cents.

    Idea for KoS

    The bandit skin? Natural camo? I'm not sure how much more wrong you could possibly be. It stands out like a sore thumb and it's near-white desert camo doesn't fit Chernarus to any degree. It does however look significantly more badass than the survivor skins. My favourite is the Hero Skin, but of course it takes so much effort to get, let alone maintain. As previously stated, customisable clothes will be a very important character in the Kill on sight/humanity debate, and will hopefully add another aspect of eeriness and mystery to DayZ.

    A mate wondered why i still play DayZ

    Because it looks nice with ATOC on? By today's standards, ArmA II's graphics are considered ugly.

    Share your /facepalm moments

    Sniped in one of those small pine trees, and then the next thing I saw was zombies. Oh god, the zombies. The amount of leg breakage was too damn high!

    Computer Freezes/crashes during gameplay

    Buy a new graphics card, underclock your current one, buy a better HDD, also more clarity would be nice. Your PC could be overheating or over-volted. Judging by the sound of things, your PC won't be needing more than 450 watts of power. If you have a 600+ PSU it could be causing problems. Download MSI afterburner, check the temp log consistently in 5-10 minute intervals. If your temps are above 80 at any time that's not stable.

    Dayz mod and dayz standalone

    People are so narrow-minded; as soon as they see footage of a game, regardless of what stage of testing it's in, they presume that the final product will be the same distinct thing. It's almost like no one realizes that games change with updates and development, particularly in their alpha and beta stages. If they stayed the same, why would there even be a dev team? As fraggle said, derp.

    M240 & 249

    I would sooner take the MK48 or M240 than the 249. 556 weapons are icky.

    *DAYZ SA SKIN SUGGESTIONS*

    You could go for a more traditional look.

    a SIMPLE guide to getting the most FPS

    Still a lot of unpublished features. I would love to help you create an ultimate guide to FPS increase, if you'd be interested in a joint effort let me know.
  18. You just summarised three valid arguments and proceeded to neutralise them in the same sentences. Bravo, thread point defeated.

    Suggestion: Easter Egg

    Why not "what is love" or "heyyeyaaeyaaaeyaeyaa"?

    Any DayZ Mod/Way To Play On Older Versions?

    In DayZ commander, just download an older version of the mod and filter for your mod version only. It will only show servers running whatever version you downloaded.

    Can I Run DayZ Mod? (POST HERE)

    It won't run anything without a graphics card.

    Pistol damage is STILL broken

    For me, a 4 or 5 shot kill pistol is perfect. Say they took the damage up to 2.5K per shot, they would be much more effective as actual weapons.

    Tips on aiming?

    Something you can do is drag the mouse smoothing option way down. It impacts your aim very noticeably.
  24. I don't speak Russian, but I love the medical suggestions and ideas, very creative! :)
