I did say allow adjustment at the start of the game and not during gameplay. At the least they would have to log and exit the server to make adjustments. As far as using windows settings to make adjustments. After giving pc support to people I'm surprised some people can even turn on their pc. I once had a person ask me which key was the "any" key. Another when instructed to put a disk in the cdrom drive asked "oh you mean the cup holder?"

Even if a server offers third person I stay in first person or what I prefer to call mouselook. I do have to turn down head bob so I don't have a seizure while running, but as that is a medical necessity and it stays the same way through out my game play. Ok I'm off now to Disney World I'll make sure to ask them to turn on all the lights in the Haunted Mansion ride cause I sure don't want to be immersed in the ride experience.

First I prefer to not team up with anyone, does not mean I play DayZ with a kos attitude. Quite the opposite I enjoy the random meetings I have with people. Sometimes I help them, sometimes they help me, sometimes we talk and join up for a short while and yes sometimes it's kill or be killed. Some days I'm medic or a taxi driver/pilot. That's the way I play DayZ if I wanted team mates and run around playing a combat simulator I would buy COD or Battlefield. Stop forcing your style of game play on other people. If a game I paid for EVER restricted my playing of the game I would NEVER purchase it in the first place or had that not been made clear at the time of purchase would demand my money back. That is why I don't own warz. I still don't understand why there is not a class action lawsuit against the devs of warz. Anyway what I'm saying is DayZ appeals to different people in different ways that is what makes DayZ such a great game.

Will you make it so gamma and brightness settings can only be set at the start of a game and never during? Or will you let players keep on cheating?

Does anyone know the rules for setting up a DayZ fan website? Are there any resources available like approved logos and pics? Also if I do build a site can I post a link here somewhere?

Thanks been wondering how to do that myself.

First on giving early release to Youtubers and streamers. I created an account on twitch and YouTube in anticipation of the dayz stand alone. Guess I'll be beat to the exposure because I just found out about dayz a couple of weeks ago and no not on YouTube but on steam. I still shelled out like $26 Knowing the standalone would be released in less than a month, or was reported to being released, and that I would have to purchase it again. If your testing servers or the game fine I understand that in that case give it to a random 150 people. That way you will get a better demographic of your user base and the bugs or issues they may have. Second I built my first computer 8 years ago over a period of 10 months. Started with the case and added on from there each month as I could afford. Since then I have replaced bits as upgrades I wanted became available. You could look at it this way, I have an 8 year old computer that is top off the line today, and it only cost me on average $400 a year to stay on top. Doing it this way anyone could own a top gaming computer.

Hello I'm new to Dayz and FPS games I prefer to learn on my own and yes have died a few times already but that just makes the game real. I want to play on servers that only have the default DayZ setup and load out. I hate bullet tracers and name labels in game I have learned how to tell when a server is using those. I use DayZ Commander and have filter set to "DayZ only" but I joined a server and had all kinds of gear at spawn. Is there a way to tell which servers give you extra gear from the ones that don't? I do read server description but load out is not always there.

Don't zeds spawn at random now and wander everywhere? Not sure if spotting a zed far away is telltale of another player anymore unless they are in agro.

I agree with you 100% but what percentage of DayZ players think that way? For how long will a new player think that way if every time they see someone in world they get killed? A reward system was just an idea to get people who don't think like us to stop killing on sight. To put in perspective you could say there is no reason to hand out medals in the Olympics cause winning is it's own reward. Or buy little Johnny that thing he wants so bad for getting A's in school. Just tell him the education is the reward.

Like I said I'm new to DayZ maybe I don't understand. Is it COD with zeds added? If so that is a shame.

I understand that surviving is in itself the reward. Maybe I didn't clarify in my post. People are fed up with kos and would like to see more coop play, people are maybe to quick to engage in a firefight because there is no consequence to dying, losing loot is no longer a deterant, offer reward system to give people a reason to survive a long time. Not all but maybe some people will stop playing a kos game. I understand some people actually rp dayz and do not need a reward system. My post was not about those few. But the people that think there playing cod or battlefield.

Found a Mountain Dew my Second day in DayZ was so happy, and right before I logged for the night. Felt good! Time to play again started up DayZ couldn't remember what server I had played on, no problem set filter to DayZ Only grabbed a likely server and spawned. Wow had all this extra crap I didn't want like a machine gun maps and more. Got the hell out of there fast. Noticed the recent tab in DayZ Commander and there was the server from the night before yay. Logged in opened my gear so I could marvel at my Mountain Dew and dream about when I would drink it........gone was everything all I had was a flashlight a bandage and some pain killers. In the Marines as a Tanker (mos 1811) it was the canned apricots in the c-rations that always caused bad luck. To this day I won't let a can of apricots in my home now I will have to add Mountain Dew to that list.

Not true I'm a noob and can get geared up pretty good in a couple of hours depending where I spawn. So really nothing to lose. Now I know that's not the good stuff. But I'm a sneaky bastard and have had the opportunity more than once to kill someone and upgrade so to speak. I just don't want to play the game that way at least not yet. It doesn't fit in with my rp. The first thing I did when looking at a map was ask myself where would I hide a cache? Duh up north in the hills. So if you want the best gear and lots of it hit them thar hills. Talk about tent city.

Recently I was just on a forum on how to set up a xbox controller with DayZ the fighting that started over that war amazed me. M&KB or controller......who cares? As long as a lot of people are buying the stand alone version and the developers are making lots of money, so they keep working on the game to make it better. Now for all you people who keep emphasizing that DayZ is a pc game, if or I should say when they port DayZ to consoles, where do you think the most revenue is going to be made? From all those (insert your favorite term for console users here) not the pc crowd. Another thing to think about once ported will there be separate servers for pc users and console users, I don't think so. Get ready for a huge influx of console users. In my option this will just make DayZ better.

I guess I worded it wrong went off on a tangent sorry. Was just curious why so many people get heated up over what input devices people use to play games.
