With the zombies being server sided, looking into a town will no longer give you that magic marker " there's a player in there because I see zombies". What this means from my perspective is I don't feel I have to rush any longer to get through a town because that guy on the hill with the sniper rifle is going to have fun shooting at my crawling body - that's why I run through towns, n=because my very presence there is given away by the zeds. Now that this is being removed and all buildings are enterable, I can take my time knowing that my presence isn't obvious and that with many buildings to loot, it won't be obvious which one's i'm going for where as before, with 5 enterable buildings meeting a player has a much higher chance. I'm looking forward to creeping around zeds and I hope they're AI is done right to make them a threat but not impossible (like it is now) to sneak around them.

I don't see it much of an issue unless there's only one or the other. For example, I play Panthera a fair bit right now and the two servers that we play on, both are 3rd person so I'd like a 1st person option too but it should be a server sided choice. If people want an "in between" option idk but 3rd person gives many unfair advantages and takes away from the intensity. It's much more adrenaline inducing to crouch and sneak up to look over a hill than it is to simply switch to 3rd person and cheat.

Yes it's high time these were implemented - I suppose the percentage of female players on DayZ doesn't justify the work right now (although they could simply give female players the regular ghillie suit, you can't really tell who is under there after all) or we have mysogynists working on the mod. As for the spawn points, it never takes more than 20 minutes to hook up with your friends if you've been playing for any length of time. I guess if I die it gives me a quicker option to get back to my body - though I'm sure we'd want to keep away from that mechanic. Thing is, the mod came out and it had attributes to it. One of these is spawning randomly on the coast and that works, it's not buggy so why now the need to change it? That dev time could have gone into - more options for female players rather than fixing something that isn't broken. Perhaps the majority of players just can't wait to get back into the PVP action, in that case why not just cut out cherno and electro into a new minimap and give them that instead?
