    I've got convinced to play 1pp more.

    It's probably a matter or degree. The more you see the more your brain has to anchor onto. I honestly don't know but imo the biggest factor is frame drop/jitter. I'd guess a constant 20fps would be less troubling than 10 then 50 then 20 fps in quick succession. To be honest, I thought the motion sickness people were weak, sickly people until it happened to me. I've never properly had it in any other game. I got a bit of a headache in arma but didn't connect it to the game. It was one day in dayz at the apartments north of cherno that I figured it out. I cannot overstate how much I dislike 3rd person games. If there's some lauded 3p game my though is "I wish they made this into a fps then I could play it." Also what I found was it's the instability of fps that is the main cause i.e. when you are going from 16 to 60 and back again. It's the jitter that causes it, for me anyway. Before I got ssds all I had to do is go to those apartments north of cherno for a while. Again, I say that as someone who thought the motion sickness people were some sort of tiny minority with brain problems. It's a real thing and will affect all humans playing fps when they are dealing with jittering/low frame rates. Also, right or wrong, I think a wider fov equals a lower framerate so I have mine quite narrow - to the point of wearing blinkers and that exacerbates the disorientation.

    Not at all. This is just a theory by some people who are unaffected and can't understand the very basic reason is low or stuttering fps. It's not complicated. Once the engine can achieve a steady rate of frames no-one will suffer from motion sickness - head bob or no head bob.

    First person is a much better game BUT the motion sickness thing is real. It's not caused by headbob or any of the other reasons people who don't suffer claim. It's caused by low and stuttering fps. In third seeing your character means that your brain has something to anchor onto so fps stutters aren't so disorientating. I found the best thing I did was get a couple of sdds and although they didn't magically deliver high fps, I wasn't going from teen fps up to 60ish and back again. I used to have to avoid certain built up areas on the map because of the fps (e.g. apartments north of cherno/zelen/novo.) Makes me laugh this theory people have that 3rd person players instead of just saying they prefer 3rd would make up an illness as an excuse because they fear the derision of super hardcore players. That's demented. I hate 3rd person games yet I played hundreds of hours of 3rd person dayz. Maybe instead of making up a conspiracy theory that I'm just covering up being a coward by pretending to get ill playing in first we could admit there's a problem and aim at ways of fixing that.

    Do items become ruined in hands?

    Had the same with the sawn off. Click click..."You are dead"

    I'm loving the amount of zombies there are now!

    As a red rag is to a bull, So a mp5 is to a zombie. Stary was always heavily populated with zombies anyway but I've found firing the mp5 even in traditionally less populated areas is a disaster too.

    Anyway to fix Desync lag?

    You need to register a separate account for the tracker.

    persistent tens + wallhackers

    I'd like to bury weapon stashes.

    Modular Vehicles: What are they?

    I'd love if we could salvage parts for heli crashes to maybe make some of these. Or something.

    I miss my dot

    that's what I like about it. I find I can generally see it indoors but out doors when I'm running it's not that intrusive. I think, by release, we'll have an opacity setting.

    I miss my dot

    I hated it when it first arrived on experimental as a full circle but I like it as it is now. I would've prefered to have the old dot ideally but I think they had to change it. I never experienced the exp build where people were complaining that the dot was moving with breathing but I think the new cross hairs allow them to average out that movement in a larger area and so get rid of the breathing jitter that was noticeable with the dot.

    .55 loot, I'll just leave it at this.

    I've played a couple of private hives and a couple of public and the difference is night and day. The private are barren, public have less loot than .54 but still plenty. Police stations and more so jeeps on public are better than heli crashes. So basically your experience of .55 depends on the server you play on. I can totally understand both arguments on loot.
  15. What? If you just relax and pick your shots you will never be overwhelmed by zombies. It's one head shot with most weapons. Two body shots. I love the new way they stagger back when shot too.
  16. It's shocking how much of a laugh I got out of that! Love the new zombies. Wish there were more. Love the old homeless/farmer zombie.

    Has anyone managed to get a disease yet?

    I just watched this
  18. You'd be better off checking cars and police stations. Oh and toilets.

    imo anyone who doesn't think it is better has a very low iq, lacks imagination and probably cannot tie their shoe laces. If people like you had your way humanity wouldn't progress. You'd be the guy at the wright's first flight telling them it was shit and they should just give it up as they hardly got off the ground at all.

    now they are good ideas. Get thee to the tracker
  21. freethink

    I don't understand

    imo it was the anti-game because it introduced perma-death i.e. you don't respawn with all your gear after you die. Typically you die in other games you just go back a bit and have all the gear you had. That was the anti part. Nothing more, nothing less.

    Tents have now become more important than ever

    I'm not going to use tents for a while.

    .55 loot, I'll just leave it at this.

    I didn't assume anything. I play on a private hive too. And one that disabled persistence until it was enforced. It was full for .54 and it's full now. So maybe it's you assuming that the patch is to blame for everything when it's not? Also how can you say it has nothing to do with loot on one hand when on the other you say btw I heard that there were issues with private hives that were previously set to persistence off - contact eugen if you are getting NO loot whatsoever. Are you renting from multiplay? Best way to contact eugen would probably be via the tracker or twitter. Here's his twitter: https://twitter.com/eugenharton It may just be your server is bugged. Good luck

    How is the server useless? There are still people playing the game. If you bought your server to farm loot then yes maybe it is useless but if you paid for it to provide a place for people to play the game then it far from useless.
