Can you imagine if they added bases and means of storage and then needed to refresh the database meaning a complete character wipe? I can see all the whine posts now from people who took the many warnings with a pinch of salt when they 'bought into the development phase'. I'm not going to say the 'A' word but you bought an unfinished product, you were told it was an unfinished product and as such you are playing an unfinished product. When the majority of developers won't release a game until it is, in their eyes, a finished product, you should be thankful you have the opportunity to 'test' what they have so far, and your cash goes toward adding content and paying the people that add that content. People need to stop treating this like a full release, be patient with the development and let them get it right, rather than rush out features to appease those that did not heed the many warnings that warned you that it was an unfinished product. Christ, if it were 5 years ago you'd still be watching occasional dev videos and reading devblogs about what is in the game so far with absolutely NO opportunity to play it until it's full release, which equates to AT LEAST another year. Some people don't know when they got it good.

With the added interiors a lot of people may be running through towns and right past people inside buildings without either party even being aware of each other. Set up in a town somewhere and wait, eventually you'll have players come to you rather than you looking for them.

This isn't ogrish.com or Liveleak dude. I just had my 12 yr old son with me, looking through the forums, he likes watching me play DayZ and has a go too, so he sometimes sits with me while I look at these forums. This IS NOT what I want him to stumble across on a site for a computer game. You even acknowledge the fact that it may not be acceptable yet you do nothing about it, no decency whatsoever. I despair for the intelligence of some members of the human race and I request you take it down immediately. I also hope they ban you anyway. What an idiot.

Dayum. I guess now that's gonna put me out of business. Thanks..

And if they did you'd be back complaining how your framerate has nosedived. It would mean rendering grass for up to a km radius from you, sapping your performance and probably making the game unplayable, even before you bring up the scope. Maybe in 5 - 10 years, and that's optimistic.

You shouldn't have bought the game in Alpha state then. Everyone knew there were no vehicles at release, yet I keep seeing these posts by people who obviously can't read and who obviously don't understand that once they paid their money, they gave up the right to complain about what ISN'T implemented yet because there were warnings everywhere. That is what's ridiculous. Your fault, pipe down. Be patient / play mod.

They've spoken about journals being included that keep a record of various achievments and kill count. I'd prefer to see the player have an option to 'show journal' to other players to show they are good people or vice versa, be asked to show their journal, and if you restrain a player you can 'read journal' to see if they are a murderer or not. Most people may think twice about killing or torturing them if they have helped others, and if they are a 'bandit' they may inflict a longer, torturous death on them. Either way the interraction will be directly influenced by the choices the player in question has made in the past. Have it as an inventory item up top with helmets, glasses etc that you can't drop on the ground. It also means that if you find a player body you can check their identity as well as a history of their short (or even long) life.

2 days ago met a guy in a hospital when I was trying to get loot, just spawned I was in 'not a single f**k was given' mode and ran round the corner at the bottom of the stairwell where it's a dead end with the benches piled up. There was a guy crouching there with a magnum in his hand and I said 'Hi, I'm friendly'. No repsonse, no movement, nothing. I guessed he was AFK and was thinking what I could do for a laugh but as I had no real gear I decided to leave him, worked my way upstairs and as I went out onto the roof he came up behind me. I turned round and said 'Hi' again and he raised the magnum at me and fired off 3 shots. All missed. It was like that moment in Pulp Fiction where the guy comes out the bathroom and fires at Samuel L Jackson. He then said over direct, 'I'm out of bullets, your lucky day'. At that I rushed at him as he was standing by the edge and bumped him clean off the roof to his death. I know he heard me when I shouted 'Not yours though is it?!' His body vanished by the time I got down the ladder.

How would first person cause more lag / stutters than 3rd? If anything there is less strain on your system as the game doesn't have to render your character along with all it's textures at full detail in 1st. Maybe I'm missing something here.

In regards to items spawning on top of cupboards and such, it would help first person players if the Vicinity loot window worked better. As it is, I sometimes have to crouch for things to appear that are right in front of me on the floor and with stuff on top of cupboards, sometimes they won't appear at all in the Vicinity window, and if I'm in 3rd Person I have to switch to first person to point the crosshair at it to pick it up, and even this won't always work. Maybe increasing the radius of the vicinity mechanic in the vertical plane may help or maybe scrap the loot spots at high level altogether. It's a small headache but a headache nonetheless. As for which style is better, 1st or 3rd, I prefer 1st, but that's because I use Freetrack and is also my personal opinion. I think both styles should be supported on their own hives as someone playing in 1st can be completely outplayed by someone using 3rd. Don't see why people would argue about the two though, seems pretty immature to do so.

Personally I like first person, always believed that DayZ should be played that way and don't like how third person gives an advantage like peering over walls etc. But, saying that I have an advantage in that I use Freetrack in game. It's a poor man's (lol) alternative to Track IR and allows me independent control over the view using my head to look around instead of using ALT. This means that I can be running around and looking around while still being able to change direction with the mouse which wouldn't be possible without Freetrack / Track IR. It also allows me to lean in game by leaning in real life, again without any keypresses so on top of the added freedom of movement I have the ALT, Q, and E keys free to bind to other things, although I haven't yet, waiting for added features to be implemented that may need some quick access keybinds. Doorframes are a pain, always have been in the Arma games unless you had the movement mods of ShackTac but with my setup they are minor annoyances if at all. I'd recommend anyone give Freetrack a try as it's not overly expensive to set yourself up. In my example I bought a second hand Microsoft VX3000 webcam from eBay for £8, a Trackclip Pro (made for Track IR but works for Freetrack) for £20 (which was in a sale, but don't expect to pay over £30 tops), and the software is free. The only downside is it takes a bit to set up and tweak the software and you may (not always) need to remove the IR filter from the webcam. So, £28-£35 for a system that will increase your situational awareness in game without giving you hand cramps. A Track IR setup would cost you at least £150 and although is more sensitive and may perform better, I am more than happy with my Freetrack and could never justify paying £150+ for a negligible increase in quality. There are many games that support Track IR and most of them will also support Freetrack. I use it in Falcon BMS, DCS World (and A10C), both flight sims that utilize 6 axis (X,Y,Z, Yaw, Pitch, Roll), and Arma 2 which works exactly the same as DayZ (I use the same profile). So there's just one way you can overcome the clunky movement in DayZ / Arma2, plus it gives more immersion, realism, and some may argue an advantage over other players. Search YouTube for Freetrack and see some demonstrations of how it looks. One thing is for sure, I could not go back to playing without it, and sometimes when I'm playing other games I find myself moving my head expecting the view to change, lol.

Did Fitzwilliam I and Fitzwilliam II both die in suspicious circumstances perchance old boy?

Just shows ya, women are always listening...

Keep reading... You'll see that it was a plan that never came to fruition. But the nuclear aspect is not a requirement, chemical / biological achieves the effect just as well on it's own. Note to everyone else, read the whole post before commenting.
