trinsic (DayZ)

Check out our group. www.42ndaar.com We are mostly an arma2oa gaming group but we have a small group of people that play dayz when we are not playing arma2 missions.

This is an important point. This game is not a death match game. If people want to play this game that are are coming from console shooters they are going to have to adapt to the way this game was designed. Not the other way around. It only proves that there are more people that have played the game longer and know how to survive that extra few minutes. This is beside the point anyway. You can't use life expectancy of a growing game to show that devolving into permanent pvp isn't a problem. Nice side step though :) The extra 3 minutes shows that people are learning how to survive better' date=' yes. That's exactly my point. It's increasing. The bandit skin removal didn't really do anything to the life expectancy. If DayZ suddenly became a deathmatch, like some people are claiming, it would be decreasing rapidly regardless of minor increase in average player skill. [/quote'] Nah you've missed my point. It's got nothing to do with life expectancy, it's the type of game it has become since this change. You've also missed the point that life expectancy for beginners has increased as they know how to handle zombies better. Don't forget they have as much, if not more effect over life expectancy than bandits. There are almost 0 players now that are interested in team play, including myself, which is a huge disappointment to have to change play style like that. There needs to be a balance so people can have the best of what this was originally about, both teamplay and pvp. Sorry you are flat out wrong. I see lots of team play happening regardless. quit whining about it and find people to play with using team speak or find another server to play on that have more friendly people playing.

I wanted to respond to this thread with a possible solution. It seems like dayz might put a a larger load on your video card during certain situations. My fiancee was getting frame rate drops every couple of mins and we pinpointed it to the video card becoming over heated. It was getting up to 115 degrees. So I went ahead an added an extra fan and pulled of the heat sink off and applied some arctic silver compound to the gpu (read instructions carefully with that stuff). I also blew out the heat ventilation ports because if they get clogged up they prevent heat from flowing off the heat sink. booted it back up and now its running at 75 degress and holding with no frame rate drops. If you need to check your video card temp you can try using riva tuner or or hwmonitor. there are a few others out there I believe.
