Why is everyone the same black guy model ? -_-

Well this suggestion is really to have more realism but mostly to make running with a gun out more of an option when you don't like switching back and forth between the gun and another item.. Basically my idea is, as long as you have a compass (or watch when implemented ) in your pocket you could "take a peek " at the item by using a set button and your character would pull the compass out of his pocket (complete with real animation of him doing so ) to reveal where to go on the fly while still holding the gun you had equipped in your left (or right ) hand .. After you press the "peak" key or whatever , your character pulls out the compass with one hand and remains a grip on the gun with the other (and I'm imagining the person still running Which is basically why I suggest this ) your camera wouldn't snap towards the pocket automatically either , you would literally have to free look your head down towards the arm/pocket that's holding the compass . And for those that still don't get what I'm talking about : it's like runnin with a two handed weapon , and when you need to briefly look at a compass per se , you don't have to change items just incase someone is about to come a round a tree or something and blow you away ... This way you could hold the "peek" button and then freelook towards the arm with the compass while still holding your weapon in the other hand / arm ... Maybe it wouldn't work with the mechanics and it's sort of an insignificant thing compared to the grand scope of things but I've always wanted an easier way to look at my compass with my gun still readied , as we can obviously do it in real life , even while running .

I like the duct tape idea but peaking requires no extra supplies besides what your peaking at (and pants with pockets of course) and it's something that would greatly increase agility when dealing with protecting yourself with your gun while navigating .. Like when we need to get across a huge mass of land but always want to be prepared with a gun in hand so if you were caught by surprise by a random hostile while peeking (at a compass) it's as easy as "let Go of peek button and shoot " instead of "hit 1 ten times and hope the rifle comes back out in time when you see a hostile .. In my opinion it just adds another dimension of realism , and could be put in along with the duct tape idea ... Attaching a compass to your rifle would be cool but like someone said before it would need a spot to fit, and besides where the scope is held there's not A very good area for it to go to be visible to the person holding the weapon (considering we can't move our necks and heads in game as freely as we can in the real world ) which is really why id prefer the peeking method :) ! But that's just my opinion :O !!

Never seen a hacker on us/uk servers in over 700 hours , just glitchers looking through walls and with glitched ammo . Honestly I think a lot of people are having the same effect that people who recently saw UFO's have; over 60% don't actually even see anything at all ... Whether you believe in that or not doesn't matter , but what does matter is people love to assume ... So I honesty believe it's just misinterpretations of glitches , Desync/lag, and over confidence after being killed which turns into denial . Although I will agree that there are plenty of hackers out there, I highly doubt they plague all servers as much as some of us like to believe .. As just the other dayme an a friend were together in the office building he took a phone call and he remained on the first floor , in this minute time span I ran upstairs , he came back to his laptop and saw me desyncing on the first floor of the office building when I was actually on the second floor , when I changed weapons my characters image teleported to its actual position on the second floor .. If anyone else had seen this besides my friend they would have assumed a teleporter must be around , but again this is a product of Desync . But then there's that nasty "take all your stuff off of your character just by looking at you " hack , which I've never seen firsthand but this one seems to be the only one I'll believe cuz there's no other way this could happen by a glitch, so it would be more clearly a hack, unless the victim of the "hack" is just plain lying ..

Well as the topic certainly says ; where's the talk of barricades ?!? This has been my most beloved feature on the roadmap (and is on the roadmap for quarter 3 which technically ends by the beginning of October ) but there has been absolutely no talk of it for the entire alpha development ... I'm assuming the zombies clipping through walls would have to be addressed before they could start to work on the barricades but im surprised more people don't talk about this ... So barricadeZ, if anyone has any info , spill the beanz , otherwise post your comments of obsessions over 2x4's here !!

True true , well at least we know there will be plenty of good stuff to look forward to after the renderer is switched out and zombies improved ;)

Sweet , it's good to know Its being talked about at least, thanks pillock .. and if anyone from the future reads this then post your barricade info findings here ;) !

Isador , just a tip , being a mercenary usually infers that you freelance ... You should Probly leave your clan if you wanna do this ... Otherwise good idea and I think you should have a "rewards " section in which you post screenshots or videos of you checking the selected bandits pulse for proof... I think I will steal your idea soon and become doge bounty hunter with my friend pinhead Larry .

Wow I for some reason thought they removed all of the buildings on the island when they moved to standalone ... I'm gonna check this beast out soon, I loved the feelin of going to skalitsy mostly to check for helicopters , but it also really made you feel like the island was a safe haven of sorts , having to swim out to it .. But at any rate I think I'll have my first barricaded house (we need barricades soon!! ) at skalitsy maybe a lil' farm up on that bitch, Id be set .

Lol survive the nights is only a prototype with no multiplayer and a 64km squared map (and noone knows what the second game is Probly crap ) where as chernarus is 224 km squared ... And when you add multiplayer a whole lot more problems crop up ... Keep crying kid , all you gotta wait for is that arcadey hold your hand h1z1 game and you'll fit right in with all the whiners that are bitching about this game :) .

Great update dev team , I just wish barricades could be mentioned soon , I'm fearing that they've been forgotten about but its one of the things I'm Looking forward to most :/ ... I mean how are we gonna protect our stash of crops if we can't barricade ourselves into our farms ? ;) .

It's a glitch buddy don't get too flustered over it ... :)

We definitely don't need to change this building , just the other night I rushed into the middle jail building of the NW airfield : there was a camper with his back against the wall (I knew because two minutes earlier I opened the door and quickly jumped to the side like I always do out of suspicion , turns out my suspicion was right as he unloaded at least 20 akm bullets towards the opening door ) . I took one bullet to my body maybe more but luckily wasn't unconcious , so I rush in and zig zag towards the stairs, I somehow miss the stairs and end up right next to him against the wall next to the stairs , we both quickly realized our positions and fired madly .. Luckily he hadn't reloaded and only had ten bullets or so to spray at me , which most hit the stairs as he pulled the trigger while turning (dumb idea if you have no ammo to waste ) and during this I unleash the beast of a black sks I have into his chest and skull .. Check and mate son the camper goes down due to a bit of luck , good aim and rushing ... But if you don't want to try your luck if there are campers in this building try this method which I use if I don't want to die : 1.) either wait for another person to be gunned down in the doorway and wildly shoot into the door when you see the campers looting, or 2.) keep running past the door and opening it , the campers will be scared enough to shoot at least half the time ; then when you hear the reloading ammo sound you dash in , hoping to not be taken down by another camper who isn't reloading at the time (both tricky methods but better than not doing anything then dying after trying to rush in at a random time ).

This ^ ... In my opinion the only reason you made this thread (whoever the original poster is ) was to bash the devs or at least get a couple kids on board to start a whine fest... I hope this is out of general curiosity and not to start some bullshit flame storm about the new patch not coming out when "promised" or something , but if you are truly curious than it's ok , but IMO there's no reason for such a poll seeing as the experimental branch is close to receiving a new update so common sense says as long as there's no problems we will see it pushed to stable just a few days after, and If it doesn't make it this month then it will be a few days into September , no biggie smallz at all .

I'm looking forward to this feature I've been glitched or desperately sad about my characters progress (lol) and I juSt want to live my characters life how some do in movies : blow my brains out when I don't like how things are going, but I believe there should be a limit of how many times you can do this in a day , maybe one suicide per server per day or 3 suicides a day total (just to prevent suicide trolling).

I like this idea to a point , it definitely could help you in maybe 20% of altercations , the example the OP had is probably the only situation that it would be helpful but hey, I love the idea of adding more complex Layers to the whole trust thing.. even if that guy (in the ops example) had some how not gotten shot and was in fact innocent, it adds a new dynamic which is further paranoia towards strangers ... I think if this was in it should definitely not be in the scroll wheel options cuz that would be annoying lol . But I say if this isn't too hard to implement then go for it but like others have stated there's only a small amount of use for it but if we start adding in these little things now the game will be amazing just with these small details, so it could be worth it .

Well it's obviously not for freshies dude lol ... It of course would be end game content for people who have nothing else to do and don't want to loot forever to feed their entire clan ... And for the sake of gameplay I'm sure it won't take forever to grow them but it's not going to grow "instantly" either .. Definitely need horticulture , cuz when my clan of 20 is hungry it will be a lot easier going out back to the garden and harvest what I got rather than having to raid an entire town and risk being engaged by bandits ..

Do it yourself bro , you can make a poll you know , if you're so confident go ask.. I guarantee your attitude will be repeated through a small handful of like mjnds but to be honest not many are cynical towards the devs as you may think . I know things that are planned don't always work out but for the console to just "takeover" the PC development simply because they wanna make more Money doesn't make sense to me because Bohemia is an ... HONEST studio , we all know that ELECTRONIC ARTs are crooks , we've known that forever now, let's not let all the other corrupt studios out there smear our view of a company that's done me right for 3 years now (bi) all the way back to the first mod I played (dayz breaking point) ... And yes A lot of people will say the development went too slow but what does that have to do with anything ? PC version is being worked on by the original crew and the console version isn't even slated until 2016 and is also being developed by another separate team,so I guarantee you this game (PC version ) will be done by then (as in totally finished by December 2016 no doubt ) and the only thing that needs to be done to the PC version at that point is some updates here and there ( and hopefully some expansions).

Wrong - the console version is being developed by a different studio altogether (and dean stated that all results will be shared within the two studios , I.e there will be no "unique features" for either PC or console version , they will both be exactly alike except Maybe for inventory system ) and the console version is being prioritized lower than the PC version , rocket already stated that "dumbing down the PC Version " will not happen , and that everything will be exactly the same except for things like inventory layout cuz there's no mouse involved ... and even when rocket leaves at the end of the year i adamantly believe that bi won't just stop working on the PC version just to complete the ps4 version(or dull it down because by then the games out of alpha stage so there can be no "dumbing down " ) ... Oh and anther big flaw in your thought process : dayz for ps4 won't be out or playable until at least the middle to end of 2016, and by then dayz on PC will be far past beta lawl ! Also playing on a controller : not as "impossible" as you may believe . You should do some research before posting because before the .47 update I occasionally played with a controller (.47 update for some reason broke the use of controllers ), and I used almost every key binding by having certain actions be a combination of two different buttons on the controller , so I have all my single buttons bound to certain keys/actions and then I'll have my inventory hot bar 1- 10 activated by holding down left trigger(or right trigger ) and pressing one of the d-pad directions. So for people who believe that controllers can't be used with this game or the inventory system you're wrong ( I even set up my mouse to be my right analog stick so with a controller I could control the mouse in the game AND in the inventory , it was just a tad. Bit slower than normal ) and for the people who truly believe the PC version is going to be "dulled down" or forgotten about you need not worry cuz in my opinion , even if Bohemia was the greediest company out there and just wanted to make a big buck off of reissuing dayz to consoles they wouldn't make the mistake of ruining the PC dayz because that's where it all started and that's where the fan base lies (as everyone agrees console gamers are usually more casual and cannot deal with certain things like bugs and such so why on earth would Bohemia studios or dean decide to just push dayz to consoles without completely finishing dayz on pc , or at least get it through to beta ) ? Answer is they wouldn't , simply because this (dayz) is their brainchild , I mean besides arma 3 bi doesn't have much out there that's this popular , they will not fuck it up cuz they know this is their chance to finally have a great PC game Ported to console. TLDR: have faith in Bohemia studios and dean , they ARE NOT dice or EA studios , so let's not pretend just because battlefield was a monstrosity that dayz will be the same way , that's like comparing apples and oranges and anyone who does that should not be taken seriously . Lay off of all the flaming ( cuz that's all this community does ) and start getting excited for something that EVERYONE wanted from the start (except for those snobby types that still believe it will ruin PC version , lawl).

I have great belief that we will not be harvesting our plants in any less than a day (24 hrs REAL time) . If anyone here has played harvest moon 64 as a kid , we all know great horticulture is the basis for getting yourself established , making mad bills and marrying the prettiest girl in town .. But most importantly that it takes a long time ... The devs surely will realize this considering they have a huge thing for realism (in standalone at least , compared to the mod ) . So after finding seeds , maybe you have to germinate the seeds first by dropping it in your water bottle with less than 5% left (not supposed to be drenched in water just in a wet paper towel but I'm sure we don't want to add paper towels to the database lol) but then after planting and covering back up with a shovel and hoe , it takes let's say any where from 1-2 real days (maybe 40 hrs real time max to make it easier ) and of course you'll see , after restart, your plant slowly grow ( unless it could grow real time Right before your eyes ). Can't wait for horticulture lol .

It would be an awesome idea , after all even people in the apocalypse are looking after other animals , I for one would love to find a wounded hog , I would bandage him up or fix his leg and let him run off hog wild (pun intended ) even if I was starving only because it's a unique experience that's only experienced in real life , dayz thrives to be super realistic and this would only make it more realistic ( imagine being able to knock animals unconcious and use them as bait , or to find a group of veterinary survivors trying to get a cow back on its feet from a bacterial infection , either helping or killing them all and taking the cow ) . Definitely worth adding at the end of alpha .

Isn't there something you can do by pressing control and the - key (subtract) and then typing flushdns? Or is this now a bigger problem :,(?

I just stay observant , when I see or hear people I tell them to put their weapon down (pointed down) after hiding behind cover , if they don't after 3 times asking I open fire . on the other hand if they do dearm I converse with them , but my rule for conversation is to never talk for longer than a minute or two and observe everything they say ; cuz it could giveaway their true intentions .. While talking make sure to keep your back against a wall or just keep strafing around just in case. Never let the stranger get close or get behind you and if they keep coming closer after they have pointed their weapon to the ground they no doubt want a fight , so shoot on sight if they get within 5 feet (after a warning of course) . And in regards to teaming up with strangers : don't ever do it unless you're absolutely sure , because even the best and most observant heroes can become victim to evil doers , and never trust anyone you've been teaming with unless you've teamed with them before successfully (and unless their a real life friend still be suspicious keeping them in sight ). The best way to practice handling these situations is to spend less time server hopping for loot (or even searching one server for loot ) as soon as you spawn run to the nearest populated area (now usually novodomitrovsk , was berezino before ) and pick up a gun and some ammo , don't waste time looting and just start to talk with people , first hiding in cover, second commanding the suspect to Holster or point the weapon down , third is to quickly interrogate them (and try not to kill them otherwise you've missed the point of communication ) . If the conversation runs smooth tell him to drop his weapons (all firearms) on the ground and after that bolt outta there (remember people can have MANY weapons if they wish to fill their backpack with them but typically the gun hoarders only carry 4 max two mains one in hand and one on back and two pistols so be prepared to tell them that you know they have more guns cuz they usually have a lot lol . )

And that dignified discussion was happening before you entered . Put your negativity towards your own life not here .

This..... Is the general discussions ? this is generally where we .... Discuss The game lol. I personally have no idea why so many of you forum goers read this entire thread just to post a negative remark , its certainly ridiculous . Have you never wanted to let a deuche bag (that tried to rob/kill you) know that their little twisted tactic didn't work ? In any case if there's no video there's no reason to have this posted anywhere else , and rudette if it's redundant then stop reading when you feel that , or don't waste energy on posting afterwards .
