Since you just stated you know nothing about the game, how do you know the game progress is slow? Compared to what and what issues are the dev team trying to resolve?

Aah so now we know that you aren't privy to any information so until you are, will you PLEASE stop spouting your mouth off like you know it all?

Up until 2 patches ago the list of weapons were Mosin - Russian SKS - Russian M4 - USA baikal shotgun - Russian Blaze 95 - as far as I can tell made up. FNX - Belgium/US Revolver - US? So that's almost half the weapons right there.

Yeah I know. That's why I was "wtf" when they said this vietnamese sniper was the first to use it 50 years ago when it's been in use for ages. In fact it was from this documentary...Go to 15:30 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pq9oqwmnG0

Why can't they fix it?

The perspective is fine though we need the stance system from Arma 3!

In the Documentary I watched (American of course....) they said this Apache sniper was the first to use one. I was instantly shouting "WTF - Hello Ghillie???? It's fucking Scottish!"

LMAO "The Bitch" she was called "Apache" - I watched a documentary about Hathcock yesterday about this lol. OH and she was a bitch, she tortured US troops just within earshot of us bases.

Isn't it amazing how when the devs are adding in new code and they put that in the game and it's broken they suddenly get tto hear about it by us, the aplha testers. The process is working as intended and we're happy to have you on the team and helping test the game :)

This should be in all games.

What the OP is talking about is from your character's POV, it should only render what you can see from your eyes. So if you're standing in a window looking out, it will only show the angle you can see out the window and then black either side of it with nothing. The other, easier fix for this is to play if first person mode.

ROFLMAO!!!!

No you don't! What a complete load of bollocks. Why do they deserve to die and why are you supporting ghosting?

I usually put the kettle on between server changes, I've never been insta kicked from a server though. Sometimes i'll make some food whilst I wait or read something or....

There's more chance of a PS/Xbox port before we'll see a Mac compatible version, if there's ever one at all which is a pity but really, there's no gaming market for a Mac is there other than a few sales? So really the question is, what do BIS want to halt development on so they can make a few extra sales on a Mac? That dev time is going to cost them PC sales.

Nope not always if it's detrimental to the majority of the player base or the game mechanic which ghosting and server hopping is.

I don't have a congested line and even though it sucks, that's your issue, not a fault of the games right?

It's a pain in the ass, especially when some dick shoots you as a fresh spawn but you can learn to adapt. The only times I've been killed is when I went up to other players introducing myself as friendly or shot in the back when I've been looting. Depending on which character i'm playing on hardcore/regular and what gear I have will denote a lot of my play style i.e. whether I want to risk getting shot in the face by being friendly or being less careful in my looting methods. DayZ is not a fast paced game and you need to take your time. I've found people more friendly on the hardcore servers. Scout any area out first, come up with a plan on how you're going to do things and how to minimise your risk and also maximising your advantages. Take the attitude of trying to survive as long as you can - that's really the point of the game so the longer you can do it the better you are at playing it.

Except realistically how many times do you crash? I've crashed maybe 3 times in over 100 hours of game time. Once I'm on a server I'll stick to it pretty much and if I do change, a few minutes is nothing. People getting annoyed by the timer are people constantly hopping servers or are so impatient they should seek out a medical professional for advice. To normal, well adjusted people, a few minutes waiting is nothing.

I have no issue with the timer and if anything think it should be increased though you should never wait to get back on the same server, if you got kicked from it (or it restarted). There should be a 30 minute timer if you leave a server, log into another server and then try to log back into the original server. Logging back into the original server should make you wait 30 minutes as why else would you need to hop out and hop back in other than to ghost.

I know! I'm watching you read this reply from your cupboard right now wondering if I should......**creeeeaaaakkkkk**

Where's the server called "Big Boobies Here!!" then?? ;)

Beat them too it! This is what I'm going to do if it happens to me. Turn on my mic and then load this into my stereo and crank the speakers right up until the house shakes.... Those fuckers won't know what's hit 'em.

FIFY?
