freethink

love it but am not keen on the way it works now in .57 i.e. get automatic weapon, have fight, get another automatic weapon etc the battles in dayz are intense because they are semi-rare. when they aren't rare and it's easy to get re-geared the thrill is gone

Unfortunately sound was broken for the presentation stream so you are better off waiting for the status report which will basically cover the same stuff and maybe more. Apparently other people (including Brian) were also recording but I haven't seen/heard any of that yet.

He actually mentions that in the talk. I've been involved in some software (non-game) alphas and this is a lot more like them than say bf4 alpha. I think this alpha is actually unique as any other proper alphas I've been involved with has never even been worried about the alphas being fully functional whereas the stable branch of this aims to give a playable game. Great to hear in this interview that development will go on past 1.0. Have to say that's another amazing thing that bohemia have going for them. Most other studios would have stopped arma 3 development ages ago and just be pushing arma 4. They are kind of unique in that respect.

I'd never heard of the guy when I initially bought the game but he's earned my respect since rocket left. Mainly it's because I see him in so many streams etc but also because he recognises that it's not really the consumers fault that they don't come from a software development background and can't be expected to understand the whole 'alpha' concept.

Yep I think it'll be back in the top 10 if .58 turns out being a good release. Most people I played with abandoned ship around .55/.57 but have recently started to want to play again.

I'm not saying it's fully balanced but it's so much better than 57. I played 57 tonight and never left berezino yet had an akm + drum mag + 2 30 round mags and an ak74u+mags minutes after I respawned. In exp. since the last update I'd say I've played 10 hours and I'm thrilled to finally have a magnum (before that I had a shotgun.) Obviously there's still some balancing to do but 58 is vastly superior to 57 despite everything.

best way to suggest stuff like this is the tracker. http://feedback.dayzgame.com/my_view_page.php(you need a separate account) it's not something i'm desperate for but also not something i have any issue with them adding to the game

yep. I just feel like the key assignments are complicated enough already without adding more

op is going to be really pissed off with .58

hit the same button you used to equip it. i.e. if 1 is your axe button, hitting 1 will put it back again. If that's too much for you then I don't know.

.59 coming to experimental. Mainly, the end to the stupid amounts of military loot in coastal towns and persistence.

Does it increase accuracy of the first bullet you shoot? I thought the idea was it reduces recoil/barrel rise so you have more chance of being accurate with your subsequent shots. tbh I'm not sure what dispersion is in arma - is it like the movement of the barrel after a shot or is it a random factor added to calculate bullet trajectory? I may be wrong but whatever it is, I've a feeling the compensator reduces that.

without watching the video, the answer is kill some kid naive enough to pay for duping service/hacks

what are they saying then? I read it as if you pitch a tent it'll e there for 45 days unless someone raids it, picks it up and runs away with it. People on experimental have had entire camps disappear.

Honestly, it's the best release of dayz in a long time but I've no idea why they put in the bit about tents last for 45 days. That just doesn't happen and they know that. Is there a plan for the next 45 days to say to everyone had a camp disappear that it was raided. Yeah that might work 99% of the time but someone (wobo probably) will prove those claims are untrue and then there will be a huge backlash. .58 is a great release and it wouldn't be diminished by admitting that tents have a great chance of disappearing after a few days rather than this nutty pretence that they'll last 45 days

Honestly the statement "The only issue we currently see as a blocker on experimental (0.58.128852) is visually represented as "floating loot" seems a bit demented to me. There's a lot worse bugs than that. imo that's a bug that doesn't even affect playability. The cle is the main isue. Currently the nwaf is great if you want a field shovel or boots that's a bigger issue than pants spawning above hunting stands. I really like 58 regardless I just don't think the high pants is any more of a stopper than anything else. Plus persistence doesn't work. Are we pretending it does? That's only going to cause more outrage. telling players their tents will persist for 45 days when none of us on experimental have had a camp for anything close to that is just a little bit disingenuous. Love you guys but come on.

at best you hit him one time and i'm not sure you even landed then. the rest of your shots were at solid walls

Die loads of times. Get used to the adrenaline of fire fights. Don't play on low pops as all you'll get is super geared server hoppers plus playing on low pops lowers your guard so when you do meet a play you panic. On high pops even though you mightn't see a player for ages it's not as much of a shock. Never say "Friendly!" - Just say hello or hey man but don't approach a geared player and expect them to adopt you. If you are running in the open - zigzag in an unpredictable manner. You'll be hard to hit. Don't go left for a sec, right for a sec, then left for a sec. Mix it up. Go left, right, left, left or whatever. Most times I fancy my chances v a geared player just by running. Run away then circle back around the back of them then choose your moment to kill. If you do make contact, never stop and talk - keep moving back and forth so he or his sniper pal doesn't have an easy shot.

I didn't meet one other player

In first person the view would be underwater when the trees in the background go blue despite the water never rising to eye level. Therefore, the camera is below eye level. It's just a theory but the first person camera seems low to me. I tried to go back to the same spot and switch between views but I couldn't stand in the same place to recreate it unfortunately as my character kept on swimming. Next time I can recreate I will do both views.

imo this pic shows that the camera is lower than it should be. Note the trees go into underwater view despite the water being below the characters eyes http://gfycat.com/AptEquatorialChital

Are you sharing your internet with others? If someone is streaming/downloads at the same time as you are playing stuff like this will happen.

It was unlucky, you saw the first shooter in the green house as I was running towards it and I didn't have full cover behind that tree. Then all hell broke loose! ----- Kind of back on topic re mid pops: What I often do, especially in a group is join an about half full server because once a server gets to about 25/50 it's going to fill up pretty fast normally.

That said, nothing pumps the adrenaline like a good old clusterfuck:D fair fucks vol patched me up when I was definitely going to die tonight. He's my hero! It's amazing how bere can go from quiet to ww3 in a couple of seconds!
