I'm all for some variety but one of the great things about shotguns is that I can go take 4 different types of shells (caliber aside) and fire them all out of the same weapon with NO need to swap barrels or modify the weapon. Specific barrels can be nice for specific situations don't get me wrong but especially with the shells made today you dont HAVE to have a rifled barrel for slugs, but maybe some barrel chokes to effect shot spread would be neat since there is nothing to go in suppressor slot anyways.

You need to use nvidia inspector to enable the sli bits for the game but it is easily done and there are tutorials around to walk you through it. It works fine with 2 760s, would work even better if my processor could keep up. :)

The sheer fact that you think there is a problem here proves you are the ignorant one .. I usually play on HC servers so ya they tend to be a little emptier but by no means do I shoot for low pop servers to loot wtf is the point in that .... high pop server = some guy already got all my stuff for me I just need to go take it, just because some people want to go loot in low pop servers you think the game is dying? more ignorance. Anyone who is constantly looting on low pop/empty servers only hurts themselves in the long run as it usually just leads to lazy tactics as they get so comfortable being alone, this is fine by me ... easier to hunt them.

been said before but how in the hell would you populate a server if you don't allow anybody into empty servers .... mind blown ... The only "solution" is private hives as any other "solution" you come up with will undoubtedly aim to make everyone play the game your way. Having different ways to play lets people decide for themselves how they want to play, we didn't come here to play YOUR game.

Arma 3 pretty easily has as many players as dayz at any given point it seems and thats even after BIS broke multiplayer with their last patch. I play BP mod and King of the hill alot in arma 3 for now while I wait for DayZ to develop further. But BP is also very aimed at pvp and not alot like dayz other than zombies and resource gathering. All in all I just dont understand naysayers, variety is good imo let everyone who wants to throw a survival game on the table do it and the player population will ultimately decide what is good.

I don't understand why people think when they have "the drop" on somebody that its the time to call out "hey you friendly?" .... of course they are gonna say yes, you have just scared the shit out of somebody (who may not even know where you are yet) and they are trying to buy time to sort your location and take aim.

All this arguing over play styles is exactly why private shards are an important feature, people want slightly different experiences and it would be stupid of ANY game developer to only cater to 1 small fraction of the players they could potentially have.

I think it would be perfect to have ammo found rather easily but only a few rounds at a time in most cases, and I do hope they keep this in mind as they proceed. But I also think its a bit early for them to focus on loot balances yet, they need to make the loot spawning work much better and fix the mag glitching/duping issues first.

Always floored by your logic gib lol .... I have nothing against shooting arrows at people but really? you want a scope for your bow? If you can't see as far as the effective range of a bow/arrow you need your eyes checked.

I think its funny you think banditry is a "problem" :P ... besides the fact OP isn't saying bandits should be hit with some negative attribute as punishment for their deeds, simply a visual difference but this has its own issues. I've always thought it would be nice to have "bandit" and "hero" skins but unless some sort of working self defense system was put in it would be pointless. The need to defend yourself shouldn't make you a bandit but with a system that simple thats what happens, you're branded with a visual cue when it wasn't justified. I do indeed like the beard idea as far as the longer you live the more you can grow (if you choose to not shave it off) but there are for sure far more important things to attend to and it shouldn't have anything to do with labeling people a bandit.

lmao ..... "saved yer life!" boy everyone's just the hero aren't they

I have no problem running the game (any of those games you mention really) with an i5-3570 (OC to 4.3) and a gtx 760 not sure exactly what your problem is, what do you have your ingame settings at? Setting alot of the graphics settings to low offloads them from the gpu to the cpu and actually hurts performance more, if you can't shut it off completely set it to normal and see if that helps any (if your not set at that already)

http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/199315-reddit-hicks-206-on-before-everyone-loses-their-collective-shit-omg-theyre-going-to-a-new-engine/ .... hmmm ok so I'm reading this completely wrong? Sure seems to be about the same thing I said.

Neither one is getting a new engine, the engine they are using for dayz standalone had simply evolved to a point where it was given its own name.

Not entirely sure why OP thinks everyone needs to play the game as they do but .....

Boy what an original idea! Warz totally didn't already do this and look how awesome that game is!

So when the posts about mouse acceleration quit, these start eh?

Alot of the graphics settings when set to low will offload to the cpu which is usually the bottleneck with arma2 anyways. Try setting most things to normal if you can't shut them off altogether, there are plenty of settings tutorials that go into greater detail. Overclocking your cpu will net you some frames but with arma2/dayz SA you will never be happy watching a frame counter, best off to shut it off and if it is playable smooth be happy :P

How is this just happening as of yesterday? I've been having problems with rubberbanding for months ....

Lol sorry I had to :P

derrr plz dont spam photos next time ... here let me quote your post so I spam them too.

ah .. why am I not surprised you don't like "late time" servers, just for the record my parents quit buying my things long ago so I hope that was just a general statement rather than aimed at me. FYI there are quIte a few people that play and enjoy the game in the dim/dark settings of dusk/night/dawn its a very immersive time to play but I suppose you wouldn't know much about immersion with all your video settings turned all the way down.

Lol nah I'm quite able to handle any embarrassment thanks for your concern tho ... just sick of concessions being made in games that effect gameplay to make people on laptops and 10 yr old computers happy, The difference between terrain and shadow settings from low to high makes a huge difference in gameplay especially at dawn/dusk for the shadows. I know its a necessary evil in the beginning because of the lack of optimizations causing performance issues but I hope that once the game is sufficiently optimized these kind of options are not changable.

I bet if we took out buildings as well it would help those still trying to play on their commodore 64, fek everyone else if they have a good enough computer they can turn buildings off too ......
