I think they will most likely randomize the damage status of the vehicles upon release, however since this is a testing phase it makes more sense to force the use of the repair mechanics.

my post had much nicer formatting ;)

Agreed.

While its hard to argue with op and his logic, this is so far down the list of shit this game needs that to me its almost insignificant. and---AND is something that could easily be toggled in a server config option. Like dayzweapondamage=whatever

Why do we have to save positional data in the hive? Wouldn't it make more sense since tents and vehicles are server specific that player positional data would be as well? Would be incentive for one to stick with a specific hive server and eliminate server hopping. I took a quick boo around and didn't find this particular idea so feel free to merge if you found something i didnt...

source or GTFO! lol i kid i kid

Sweet, thats a nice little machine. Should do you just fine. And if you become unsatisfied you can incrementally upgrade it. Congrats my friend.

I agree, this is an exploit to the system. Why not implement a timer with within say 35 minutes were if you hop into one server leave, go to another then come right back you position gets randomized? Server A---->Server B---->Server A < 35 minutes = randomized position.

Why not just enable it as a third server option? Totally private, semi private, and totally public?

Its not that hate server hoppers or really care other than those high loot areas of the map become useless, you can sit and scout, be ever so careful and you're most likely to run into a dude that just popped in there.

The only one that isnt complete junk is the alienware, which is 125$ cheaper here http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA6R434G4395 But for the same price as that alienware in your op is this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227568Rwhich is a much better machine.

Just booted into my primary O/S (Linux) and BAM! saw Arma 3 ready to install! This is so exciting, surely this means we will have DayZ support someday or at least we can hope for it! https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Arma-3-Linux-Beta screenie:

If anybody has any suggestions I would be very grateful! LIke I said the low settings isn't an issue. As long as it's playable. Cheers, oh good lord son, spoiler that stuff lol. Anyways I'm surprised your laptop can play at any sort of level. A really good guide to help you squeeze the most out of it is this http://dayzintel.com/dayz-guides/dayz-standalone-performance-guide

well at least your misfortune has served to educate others, i would not have known this and had been looking for a spray can

Yeah im with BB. Also I assume at some point there will be aircraft of some sort, would make shooting those very difficult.

even at 2.5ghz that i7 would have no issues. I run this game with that cpu paired with a lesser 870m and it runs like a dream.

You can stand by what ever you want, but your not helping when you look at a guy getting 18fps on low settings with a reduced rendering resolution while rocking a 980m and a haswell i7 and figure the best solution is to tell him to pound sand.

Maybe look a little deeper instead of just telling him to f-off

Hey man those frames don't match your hardware , have you tried looking to see if your using your discrete card instead of the intel onboard? EDIT: This is definably happening. https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/715964/fix-for-games-using-integrated-instead-of-discrete-gpu/

Shit, i was just about to come help, i was growing tomatoes 15 minutes away

yeah that pc will dayz as well as anyone's, which at the moment isnt wonderful. I had a 6 core i7 with and ssd 32gb of ram and a GTX 780 and it still shit the bed in a lot of places cranked.

how much is the intel one?

SSD stands for solid state drive, they read write speed on those as opposed to mechanical (think traditional drives) the only drawback is a loss in storage capacity for the price. h ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQEjGKYXjw8

Truer words have never been spoken lol

Those are both nice, the intel one is much better for dayz. If you are upping your budget it wouldn't hurt to throw an ssd in there.
