Yes of course this is the likely scenario - a big game company like BIS that have been going for well over a decade decides to waste everybody's time by pretending to make a game. They have tried this several times before, in fact, where they pretended to make a game but fucked it completely up and actually made the game!!!! Examples of such fuck ups are "Operation Flash Point", "Take on Helicopters", "Bad Girls like it big!" and "Armed Assault" Marek was pissed! "How could you fuck this up so bad!???" He yelled at his developers, "I knew I should have just employed pretend developers and just made sock puppets like Sergey Titov did!" Marek is really, really annoyed at the sales they made too and in a recent press conference admitted that he's "done pretending to make games and is actually going to try and make some real ones instead." :P

Bludgeoned to death by a blunt excrement?

I was on Panthera a while back and we were on the big island off the mainland. We were looting a crash site on the grass airfield and I was down at our PBX when I see a player swimming from the mainland. He had almost made it when I spoke over direct and told him to turn around. He replied "don't shoot me" and I told him if he swam away I wouldn't and that we were almost done and could come back when we left. In one amazing stroke of luck which has been nothing but a pvp server, Panthera again, I died at some point and then the next 5 people i ran into were all friendly, some of which got on our TS server. Killing people on the most part is cheap kills - always against a player who's back is to you or a fresh spawn. Just watch Youtube to see these dicks reveling in their kills - "WOW OMG you're so L337!!! You totally killed that fresh spawn as he was sucking that zombies dick you're so cool I wish I was like you lolz" Like these people showed any skill whatsoever, used 3rd person to get an advantage and then think they're actually good player because they can get some kills but against players that have no idea they're there. Maybe they should go try that on BF3 or something.

Yes you both get it :) How is it running like shit though? Do you mean frame rates?

Yes as much as cycling to the shops is more extreme than sitting at home and ordering it online. You would hardly call someone more "extreme" because they chose to cycle - the point is, it's a non issue.

Ok so I have the same issue with zed. I was crawling once and got spotted from 50m away, crouching is a waste of time - solution, run as fast as you can through town. Are there videos where people are sneaking through towns getting no agro?

Saying "playing in first person is hardcore" is like someone telling you that your an extreme sportsman because you rode your bike to the shops and when you go "how's that extreme" the moronic response is "well it's more extreme than sitting in my armchair". DayZ was made to hunt for gear, survive and get around zombies. The various mods out there that dumb the game down cannot be labelled dayz, likewise the mods that make the game impossible, cannot be called dayz. Playing the game in 1st person is normal, as is having to hunt for gear spending hours doing this. A decent zombie threat is meant to be present but we all know that's coming and cannot be achieved in the mod. If you are on a server that you get geared up in 10 minutes and have a car that is not DayZ, likewise if it takes you 2 hours and all you find is a can of beans, that isn't dayz either. I would say these two states are the difficulties - One is easy mode, the other is hardcore mode. DayZ has always been about finding gear and getting the basics fairly quickly and then slowly building up more and more to better gear, fixing up a vehicle, getting some tents down and player encounters. Making things too easy or too rare isn't Dayz imo.

The BS is saying that playing 1st person is hardcore to begin with. It isn't anywhere near "hardcore". Also people use 3rd person as an exploit, not just for comfort.

Or because Z is the last letter of the alphabet signifying the last day of humanity...

I think the tent has a 1% chance every time you sleep in it so really, don't even bother. After 30 attempts you'll realise why. Infection is why i won't play vanilla and moved to dayzero - vanilla just became "antibiotic sim 2013" and no matter where I looked that people would suggest, I never found them. When you spend more than 10 hours looking for an item, that isn't fun, only not to find it and die. Not only that, but knowing that if you do find 1, you'll be doing the same thing all over again when you next get infected.

I have no problem with self bloodbagging, you can do it in rl. Just make it take 5 minutes for both, it should be something that takes a long time, not 30 seconds and my whole stock of blood is magically replenished. Maybe skills should be added to dayz that you can learn but that's probably opening up a can of worms.

Vee haff vays of making you SPELL!!! LOL hold still so I can shoot you with the bullets I don't have? Pretty much all bandits I come across can't aim for shit

Polls wrong, I'll always check a body I kill but I don't always kill to check a body. My ROE is, U shoot me I'll shoot you back. Lately that's been working out badly for them. :)

Bullshit - so playing BF3 is hardcore now or any other first person shooter? are they all hard core - no. They have the EXACT same view as every other fps out there. Trying to argue this is not the case is asinine. What the 3rd person crowd are trying to do is get everyone away from the truth which is, "3rd person view is a crutch and can be exploited to your advantage which is why 99% of FPS's don't have this as an option" FPS is the normal mode for a first person shooter. Easy mode is 3rd person - there is no hardcore mode.

Actually the people I was referring to are the 3rd person supports saying it's too hardcore to play 1st person. And wtf is this tunnel vision you're talking about ? YT vids are better shot in 3rd person that isn't an argument. Player preference isn't an argument - the game will still sell 1st person only.

People are stating that the game is hardcore if you want to play first person which is obvious bollocks. I then pointed out how absurd this is by using examples.

But this shouldn't be the reason for making it 1st person only right? I thought Rocket was making a game about an experience which 3rd person not only ruins but allows to be exploited as well. When game devs try to please everyone it always ends up bad for the game. Rocket should take a stance and stick with it. It's unlikely a compromise will be made to getting 3rd person so it can't be exploited, as if you make it that way then it'll most likely render 3rd person useless.

Can we all please stop with this fallacy that 1st person view is "hardcore" - I mean seriously, how long have some of you been gaming. Since when has first person ever been "hardcore" OMG you're playing quake you're so hardcore Ghost recon? fuck me you're hardcore OMFGZ you're playing BF3 you're so l337!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! First person view is not hardcore any more than using a mouse is hardcore but if your argument hinges on trying to convince everyone that 1st person is so unplayable then you've just admitted how much of a noob you are because you can't play the most basic FPS which every gamer can since they were about 5 years old.

But it isn't realistic to use 3rd person so why give someone who wishes to exploit 3rd person have all the advantages? What if we could zoom out to 500m in 3rd person, then we could see the tops of buildings right? The radius idea is a good one, the best that you could compromise with I think but the 3rd person crowd won't want it as 3rd person is primarily used in PVP?

BS to that! I want a dedicated zombie world and engine, a map that looks like a zombie apocalypse with a darker twist to it, a zombie gene that mutates randomly and brings newer zombies out that even the game devs won't know what it is - IDK what I want but I want something way better than the SA will bring on the arma engine.

Maybe the girls u do jiggy on are getting bored of you and she just cba to bother exciting you anymore? ;)

How many people here took the AS50 thermal when it was being hacked into all the servers? Why shouldn't we have them in the servers, i bet most people would play on those too so let's get rocket to just add them in as starter rifles.

Yes that's it you got it right there omg you're so clever :rolleyes:

This is probably going to be wasted on you but you need to stop and think for a moment and try to understand why we use polls and why they are fairly accurate. Your analogy above and your previous posts are also wrong. Nobody wants to play on an empty server so if most people are on 3rd person servers, that's where other people will go, to the populated servers but does that tell you what they want to play or would play or be bothered to play? No. It simply says players go to play with other players, naturally the populated servers get populated. Btw, by your logic I can also say that most people want to play on servers that have lots of loot spawns and vehicles so they must want that too, right? So you see how far removed the game is now from where it started right? To the point that it is simply not the same game that everyone came to play. Slight changes were made that nobody noticed but we all remember playing this for the first time over a year ago and we know what brought us here and it wasn't this
