I don't mind them. I just think we need a 15, 10, 5, 3, and 1 minute remaining warnings, so we know what is happening.

Whoa there... What exactly is it about people with PC's that makes them think they are so much better?

Bear in mind there are what 5 or so guns in the game. I'm sure more will be added. So they might get slightly less difficult to find.

It doesn't bother me. I don't have a console.

I just recently got a mouse with a DPI switch on it. I never use it with the DPI turned up high cause the precision is terrible, but I'd be willing to test your theory by turning it up on my mouse in game for a bit. I'll let you know what happens. EDIT: For me I experienced no negative acceleration when I turned my mouse DPI up. Not sure what other players have experienced though

I must admit to having a similar experience. I have always had an initial dislike of the 1PP. Not sure exactly why, but it never felt right for some reason. Despite this the other day I joined a 3PP off server and gave it a go. After a little while I decided I actually preferred the feel of playing in 1st person. I felt really sucked in. It might have been because I decided to turn the head bob right down (something I'd never bothered with before), that made it tolerable, I dunno. But I'd like to say that I was wrong about 1PP and I will now be playing on 1PP servers only. However as someone that has been a 3PP'er before I will not be giving them any stick :) but I would urge them to try it after turning the head bob off.

My interactions with other people in DayZ have largely been non-hostile. Not necessarily friendly, but most of them don't result in someone dying. To tar all players with the same brush is a little unfounded and unnecessary.

Its a bit temperamental at the moment, I'm assuming that it is something to do with the separation of hardcore and regular servers. I was restarted today then discovered my character was still around later---which was weird. One even placed me back to a character that I'd used quite a while ago. Its a bit all over the place, but its quite nice to see the new items :)

They might well spawn in those places in Cherno and Electro, however if you think about the traffic in those areas, you might not actually find them before someone else does. I have only ever found them in barns and cars.

You can turn head bob off :)

I wanted to record a DayZ video the other day, however I was unable to do so because for some reason Shadowplay wouldn't let me. The screen went black for a few seconds after I pressed Alt+F9 and then the screen reappeared, however in the top left there was a green dot with a red line through it---which I presume means that there is some issue with recording DayZ using this software. Does anyone know if there is a fix for this?

Is there any point? From what it seems all the experimental servers are full. Might as well wait.

And this is why patience pays off. Everybody wants to try the new patch, everyone updates to the experimental branch all on the same day. Nobody has any fun cause the servers are full and the loot is gone. Meanwhile, I sit and wait for the patch to be released across all servers, happily I might add.

I appreciate your sentiments. I have spent many a moment sighing upon seeing the 'You Are Dead' screen and wishing that people would give interaction a chance before shooting me. But then I realise that much as we would all like this game to be an accurate simulation it is still just a game and something that people do for entertainment. Some people just find it entertaining to kill you, even if you have nothing. Some people do it just cause they have a gun and want to shoot stuff because that is what they find entertaining, others kill you specifically to cause grief because that entertains them. Just as in life, we cannot control our circumstances in such a way that all of our experiences are exactly tuned in a way that pleases ourselves and nobody else. We just need to learn to accept what happens to us. To want other players in DayZ to not shoot you is like wanting everyone you meet in the street to give you money. It won't happen. To want the game changed so that people are forced not to shoot you is like petitioning the government to pass a law that forces everyone to give you money. Really you just need to accept that not everyone wants to give you money and its useless to expect it. Other players do not need to change how they wish to entertain themselves, you need to change your response to them. That's all you can and ever will be able to change. It's that or you stop playing the game because it does not entertain you.

About letting go of your feelings DayZ it is. Rage not you must hmmmm.....

Do a search :) this has been covered extensively That is not to say a consensus has been reached though

Nope

The most obvious answer is that it would have taken much more work to create an engine that can do what the RV engine does from scratch. We would still be awaiting the Standalone most probably. Secondly, Rocket created the mod in Arma 2 which uses the RV engine and required the purchase of that game in order to play it. Rocket subsequently made a load of money for BI with his mod, meaning they were the go to people when he wanted to talk about making a Standalone game. I doubt that they would have been interested if he'd have said; "oh by the way I'm not going to use your engine this time". There are lots of other reasons. As I said in a previous topic on a similar subject, despite its weird performance, the RV engine is great for DayZ. Its clunkiness adds to the tension of the game, not being able to open a gate in time or climb up that ladder. It's erratic and sometimes frustrating, but I love those tense moments when you have a load of zombies after you and you can't seem to get the icon to appear that will allow you to climb onto the roof. Being able to do it every time without fail would detract from things in my opinion. A slick engine wouldn't be as fun or unpredictable,

Not really a review as such. Not to be too disparaging, but a review is of something finished. You could call it a preview I guess, or a first impressions....

Whatever is valuable. Bullets maybe, or fuel, or whatever. People establish a currency by what they deem valuable, in certain circumstances a blood bag might be worth a gun and loads of ammo, in others it is worth nothing, it depends what your needs are

I dunno why people bother putting troll bait in the name of their server....

Wait until they add vehicles before you play :)

I answered with my opinion given the options available. However I think I'd be happy to always play 1PP and have 3PP removed if 1PP was better.

DayZ isn't very fun at the moment to be honest. That is not to say it won't be, but at the moment the game involves running around finding items, eating and drinking then once you are geared up you will get bored to the point where you'll be putting your character into positions in the hope that you will die and thus have something to do again. Of course it might be a bit more fun with another person to play with, but you'll not have much to do other than run around together and look for other people to do whatever with (there's no vehicles or bases or anything yet). I wouldn't buy it now, it's a bit boring.

I think you can get a trial version of either Fraps or Dxtory that will allow you to see your fps There may also be a better way, but that is my suggestion.
