As I said I am not a doctor you my very well be correct , but I suspect it is more than just game stability as all 1stp view games cause the same effect and some of those games are very smooth . All I know for sure is he loves DayZ and can play it fine in 3rd person thus my crusade to keep it . cheers

If he trys to play the first person camera it is instant motion sickness followed by grab a bucket , huey and ralph . Yes we have tried all the different settings for head wobble and alike , it is not just DayZ he can not play any 1st person view game . there is 1 exception and that is flight sims . I suspect it has something to do with in a flight sim you have the cockpit in front of you then the world at large beyond that , he can fly heli's and drive vehicles in 1st person view in DayZ no trouble . I am not a doctor but maybe the muscles in his eyes are weak and they need something to focus on centre screen or else they wander causeing motion sickness , this is just speculation on my part . He can not even watch youtubes of people playing in first person view . any help/sugestions would be great cheers

I know it is exactly what I did and I was trying to avoid it but I saw no way forward . Im sure you are all personally interested and if I tell you you'll know but well also get floods of wood be doctor know it alls giving their opinions . Ok this is as far as I will go , my friends Disability is mainly but not restricted to because of complications called Muscular Dystrophy . I will not say any more but I will go through a Mod to prove I am telling the truth . cheers P.S. for those interested or who would like to maybe make a donation http://mdnsw.org.au/

I have not lied in any of my other posts , I have refrained from telling the whole story that is all , I thought I was protecting my friend and trying to not be seen as "playing the sympathy card" . I am telling the truth , I can only hope you people are likewise being truthfull with me . If you don't believe me fine but that doesn't change anything . cheers Maybe if I could speak to one the the Boss Mods of this site in private as a neutral 3rd party they could confirm what I am saying as true ? and yes I will be accepting apologies .

I knew someone would ask but i'm sorry I am not at liberty to discuss my friends medical problems in an open forum . cheers

I have been rethinking my approach to this thread and I come up with the following . I said some ways back I like everybody else here has a vested interest in their opinions , I may have been doing a disservice to my "vested interest" by not being totally transperent . My vested interest is a friend who is disabled and plays DayZ , my friend can only play in 3rdp view , every step you take to force people into 1st person takes away from my friends ability to play . Many other games take the disabled community into consideration when creating games why cant this game as well . I am only asking for choices . cheers

Arma 2 was an average success game up untill DayZ mod came out and propelled both into the spotlight and much improved sales . That DayZ mod is one containing both view styles and many other options as well , I think that is part of the success the options . I agree Mr Hall has the best intentions for the game at heart but is he not an Employee ? the bean counters hold the purse strings . cheers

I gave you beans for the stuff about cameras and cinematography very interesting thanks . cheers

Correct me if I am wrong but are they not releasing the game in an Alpha state for a price and continuing development into the future ? I could be wrong . cheers

Im starting to agree with you by trying to please everybody he could ruin it as well , maybe he should just decide one way or the other , whatever it is . cheers

Even I could go with that , how the choice comes about isn't a problem so long as we have it , yes cool thumbs up . oh and leave 3rdp view unbutchered . cheers

Lol Nooooo that's just sooooo wrong not in real life , I wonder if the military would use something like that . probably not then they'd be accused of exploiting by the Taliban :P /joke cheers

Oh ok well I was talking about DayZ I assumed in a discussion about Dayz on the DayZ forum it would be kind of obvious , sorry my bad , I don't know anything about Cod or BF so I cant comment on those games . cheers

Ok Ill try and keep this simple for him , Arma 2 since release up untill DayZ mod came out had sold just over 1 million coppies , since then untill very recently the sales of Arma 2 have more than doubled in a much shorter space of time , solely because of the DayZ mod . I never said anything about COD or BF . Oh and Inception I think you misunderstood my post I was politely calling him a wanker . cheers

Having read your reply I must agree you must spend a lot of time playing with your banana . cheers

Both poles are skewed because they have been placed in areas heavily frequented by 1st person view/game players , the only way to get a fair comparison is to poll the player base as a whole . The only surprise I see with this poll is that the the No answer is as big as it is for this site . cheers

Now I could carry on debating here because it's something I genuinely feel strongly about but atm I'm failing to see the point when some are choosing to completely ignore/counter the points I raise, it'll just result in me repeating myself over and over again and that's pretty pointless. Much love. Having re/read your spoiler end to end , I thought I should give a better reply after all the good work you did , maybe not the answer you wanted but atleast im being honest . First thing you jump straight to a conclusion in your very first statment , when the question is about 1stp V 3rdp view styles , why did you instantly say 3rd person needed fixing . Ok bear with me here please having now a fairly good feel for these boards I can see this is by far and away a place visited by first person shooter gamers hence the difference between the polls here and what is happening on the servers . My chances of getting a fair hearing here is I now realise near impossible , the people who are the problem have the ear of Mr Hall , a minority of FPS people who do not represent the player base only a tiny bit of it and they guard that access jealously . You have some really excellent ideas for fixing something that in the eyes of the vast majority of players is not broken . First person view is the play style that is in trouble why not put all those great ideas and energy into improving it so maybe more people will want to play that way . Is Mr Hall reacting to presure from the FPS lobby and would he think differently if he had the full story well now is the time to find out while development is ongoing but my attempts have been blocked or shouted down by juvinile fanboys . I thought I was not explaining myself clearly but I now see you guys know exactly what im talking about and its not part of your aggenda . (when I say you I dont mean you personally Fraggle ) . Thats it thats all , Ill still watch this thread but Ill have to find a better way/place with not so much vested interest to give feedback . cheers p.s. I did read all your posts origionally Fraggle but I couldnt just keep saying your missing the point all the time . Try thinking outside the box sometimes it will set you free.

As I suspected but I had to try . cheers

Ok tommes can we try and have an adult discussion about this , we are not trying to score points off eachother it isn't a I win you loose situation we don't have to go all emo and despise anybody just speak our minds honestly . I would like to ask you do you play 3rdp view and what are your main objections to it ? cheers

All is good Mate , I have done the job myself on a number of sites and I know how difficult it can be dealing with people like me :P I didn't make up the term "blue names" it was just what we were called , so I cant take credit for it . cheers

Now I could carry on debating here because it's something I genuinely feel strongly about but atm I'm failing to see the point when some are choosing to completely ignore/counter the points I raise, it'll just result in me repeating myself over and over again and that's pretty pointless. Much love. Mate no offence taken Im a big boy it just came across as not appropriate but we are just talking about a game its not earth shatteringly important so don't worry about it . cheers

If you prefer to be called Mods ok I ment no disrespect . I see no call to come in heavy handed , I am fully aware you can give me a bad day if you want but I have not been warned and this thread is quiet and respectable even if it is going around and around in circles . Im here to try and get a point across and get a fair hearing for the playstyle many of us enjoy though I can only speak for myself . Sorry slapping is not my thing but whatever floats your boat . cheers

And nobody is saying it is a bad opinion its just not the only opinion . cheers

I can see your point and i'm sorry , against my better judgment I tried to compromise that was a bad idea its the start of the slippery slope you never want to get on , in this case it led to people adding more and more situations where 3rdp view should be forced to 1stp view until it was beyond silly . In future I will stick to my argument , again sorry for the frustration . On another note I just had a look on DayZ Commander wow I didn't realize how desperat the 1stp view people were there are so few servers for them I honestly feel sorry for them , maybe we should be talking about ways to make 1stp view better . cheers

You know how upperty the blue names get when you put words in their mouth , well it works for normal people to . If you want to discuss fine if you want to make up stories sorry im not interested . cheers
