There's no way to convince any side to change their minds on this subject. Not even with valid points. I kind of agree with OP, about those rookie/hardcore servers which could run on separate databases, though adding more variations wouldn't be a good idea. I'm pretty sure I've seen those in mod ( easy, veteran, veteran + no TPV ). So yeah, for me either you play on softcore server with nametags, maps working like gps etc. or hardcore server with no tpv and different loot tables, like ultra rare m4 and other military guns, etc. Although I'd love to see 3rd person completely removed, no matter how hard I wish for it, it feels like it's not going to happen. By introducing difficulty levels devs could kill two birds with one stone. There'd be FPV/TPV servers and FPV only. There's to hope that experimental build with no TPV becomes primary one, even just to see how it works out. But I feel like gamma exploit should be addressed before cameras.

Apparently, for some people, easier gameplay counts as pro of 3rd person. Being in advantage also might be pro. Depends how you look at it. Tuning gamma and playing 3rd person in DayZ is like drawing dicks on Mona Lisa painting. It just doesn't feel right. At least that's how I see it.

You don't get the point at all. There are people who enjoy playing at nights or with just a 1st person, but game is kind of forcing you to exploit gamma and use third person to see over your character. If you don't do so you'll be the only one running with flashlight at night on whole server and therefore exposing yourself while other clearly are not. That's why it'll be nice to see it forced either way. EDIT: It just subtracts a bit enjoyment from the game if I know that most people on the server are exploiting game settings while I'm not.

How many players actually use experimental builds? How many of total DayZ players even checked for it or read the forums? I'd use it before if I knew that it existed. So yeah, your argument about e-feets seems invalid to me. EDIT: I was just about to suggest it aswell. Seems unfair for me, having both avaliable at once since one of them is clearly putting player at disadvantage.

Not sure, but I've read somewhere on the forums that there's experimental build already that you can download through Steam, which disables 3rd person view. Hope they implement it for good. EDIT: Yeah, just tested it. There's downloadable patch 113899 through steam and on those servers you can't use 3rd person. The only problem is that there are very few experimental servers.

It's good as it is, makes robbery more rewarding and therefore encourages to team up. I guess it's gonna change in the future, but I'm hoping for that they're not gonna change it much.

Servers that allow 3rd person should work on different hive and spawn new players fully geared in Balota or Cherno all the time. In my opinion 3rd person just ruins immervise gameplay. Would be nice to see it removed as fast as possible, so no more people gets used to it. I guess that everyone who uses 3rd person also exploits gamma at nights. I do enjoy the game even now, but it would be even better with just 1st person view.

I like how it is now, respawn only when unconscious and tied, maybe add to those respawn while in water. However if it's going to be implemented, I'm okay with it as long as it can't be abused to respawn till you get your desired spawnpoint. Never had any problem being stuck, always managed to get out of glitched geometry, but if I'd get stuck, I'd probably change my mind.

Wasn't this the godmode bug?

As far as I know, it's not possible. I think he meant different shards of official hive. Haven't tested it so I'm not sure but I've heard some servers are running on different shard of database. Like the PL servers are 2nd shard, DE 3rd and so on.

I might be wrong, but zeroing doesn't affect bulletspread? Correct me if I'm wrong. Indeed this one seems more logical than before. Though I'm not sure why you're suggesting temp value just for that. Actually in my eyes, he actually added something useful to this thread. Also, I'd like to say, that you actually need to stop and take a breath or two to rest, so you can aim better. Maybe that's the case. Or maybe my client is cheated, because I've not encountered problems with accuracy yet.

Well, seems like my nighttime is different than yours. My nighttime isn't turned to be greyscale unless I'm low on blood. Here's how it looks when I'm full on blood, freshly spawned: There are colors if you use flashlight, and you can see a bit of the coastline. And here's the one without many colors due to me being a bit low on blood: It's also a bit darker since moon wasn't too generous.

Your pseudo code stated to Set brightness value, which is wrong in this case. If you're trying to educate someone and show off your pro coding skills, at least do this properly and think about it. Shouldn't take long for you though, you're coding and fixing bugs in one second, so yeah. I wish people like you would work in Bohemia and optimise engine even more, so I could enjoy the game even further, without fps drops. Maybe you could do it before going sleep tonight?

You murderer... Ban this madman, he's killing players!

Make sure that your weapon is 'Pristine'. As far as I know it affects accuracy, though haven't tested it. My M4 is pretty accurate, even at a distance. EDIT: So much bullshit.
