See how pretty that looks the game has um a few problems lol but how it looks visually compared to arma2 is not one of them lol.. yeah they are starting to get carried away rocket chose to use cherno as he said it was the heart of Dayz but they are turning it a little to suburban if they keep adding any more towns . Id say there is enough now just add more buildings ( and different ones) to what isalready there but that is just IMHO.

What your saying the gamma exploit has been fixed?? hope thats right it may explain why i am not being shot as often playing at night as well call me strange when its night i dont turn gamma up its ment to be dark except where i use my light ( usually a lantern ) does it give my location away yeah it does but if they cant see in the dark i am just as likely to see there light source..

OH wow they removed trees and added whole cities and countless buildings to towns and cities that where already there plus physics there moving towards 64 bit and dx10/11 which will make a huge difference. But yes damn they removed a small amount of trees damn those developers what where they thinking... PS compare screen shots of the same pc that can run both games at max and tell me which looks nicer..

HUH not sure what you mean here there both on a a RV engine with net code differences now they have added physics great biggest difference is there making all new models as the mod uses arma 2 models which used arma 1 models ( may have used ofp models to lol ,not sure if arma 3 borrowed models from dayz or vice versa but many of the models are in arma 3 for loot objects.) The real crunch is you have paid codders who can get at the engine vs modder who have to script most effects. So in the end your comparing paid african elephants vs slave labour indian elephants( its still zed survival in an open world on a rv engine) dont get me wrong in the end i believe SA will be far better but your comparing quote was just so widely wrong... EDIT oh i think the game is starting to take shape nicely and not sure why your moaning about how the mod was when it first hit in may 2012 i personally think its finally taking shape into a survival game slowly vs the super solider death match that the mod slowly turned into withzeds in the background.

Friendly 1 minute deadly the next id say you got lucky and being a freshspawn probably helped ( its only true KoS douches that shoot unarmed or poorly armed guys well unless they trying the mike tyson. It just seems like luck almost like finding loot 1 day ill run into 3 or 4 nice players through a couple hours next day when i anounce myself i get shot at run from etc etc( i stalk and say hi from behind in hardcore ,so i am sort of in control lol).

Hmmm months ago they stated the new team for Zed pathing was the same crew to do hunting and they came from a hunting game.. ( i have heard rumours it is the cabela crew can anyone confirm this?? as i have to say there games had been going badly in the last few years but there newest deadly hunts is actually damn good and if hunting is half that it will be epic. Strangely on reading that post that was linked in the OP i got more excited about the long term core engine crews work making the game 64bit and working with dx11 that makes my day...

I dont now how they can solve the gamma problem maybe severly limit how much it can be adjusted as really is anyones screen that old and dead that it requires that much gama to brighten it up?? As for mr it aint an exploit huh do you know the definition of an exploit?? thats using in game mechanics in a manner not intended by the developers so hmm do you think they intended you to turn nights into a brighter greenie grey version of day ??? answer nope or they wouldnt have bothered having night or making it dark at all ,the gamma is in to adjust it to suit your screen thats one setting for day and night not a setting for day and another for night. So it is actually the very definition of an exploit dont like to hear your exploiting sorry but those are thye facts if you cranking gama up at night your exploiting but yeah dont feel to bad lots of you are doing it...

I wish they would fix it soon its actually epic looting by lantern light ,switch it on and put it away and the glow surrounds you very erie hearing zeds in the darkness

I hope it is never possible to find enough ammo to get even close to being able to do this.. I honestly like the idea of barrel heating but do not think it will ever be needed due to usually short engagements i dont see anyone firing full auto mag after mag, bursts of auto fire followed by moving checking viewing etc then firing again. Its a great idea in realisim but practiclally useless for the setting of dayz the idea of needing to clean your gun after x amount of rounds fired ( regardless if they fired over a week a month or an hour) is far5 more practical and fitting. I just cant see anyone having the ammo in the end game with super rare guns and ammo to waste in a way that will heat the barrel..

I swear the loot table is running some sort of ultra futuristic algorythim and can detect from what gear you have what you actually want and does not spawn it but eventually when it gives you a break and hands you one it will laugh at your struggle by throwing them in every where after you have one ( what ever it is your looking for lol)

Pretty much this.. They just need to spread the spawning of guns in civilian areas from piano houses offices and orange brick arch buildings to a small chance in every building make it less likely a to draw the run through town crew who hit the major hot spots and move on ( or camp ). Im not against having a shop like this in as a model but it should have the LOWEST spawn chance of a gun, civilian gun places would be the first places raided in such an event why because there is lots of guns and few people protedting them where as a police station would have cops shooting the guns they have so it be less likely to have been raided till after the complete fall. Spread things out not condense in locations every building having a very small chance of holding a gun EVERY building so you actually have to throughly loot not hit and run ..

Why are people getting there panties in a bunch 1 it was in a high risk high loot value bandit prone area. 2 he didnt KoS him hell he gave him several warnings( greetings) shit i am surprised he didnt get himself shot doing it. Im all for interaction but not on a airfield milbase people just dont like to hang out and chat there why because its stupid if the person you met doesnt kill you the bandit who is casing the place to kill people will. Go to a mil base at your own risk be alert be aware be locked and loaded and ready to rumble because if irish doesnt shoot you i am sure any number of the probably over a million bandits ( some call themselves heroes but just shoot anything that moves and say yeah got another bandit lol ). With all the outrage in this thread i might expect to meet more friendlies in game ( hey i do meet some) but no atleast 8 out 10 people i meet either take a shot or cant take a shot and want to tag along till they get a gun then shoot you lol. Oh hombre i believe you mean the chernarus heroic society medical division now they were some douche bags lol which irish doesnt seem to be he may not be the friendliest player but hey he tells you his server so you can always go hunt him and i get the feeling he would enjoy it if you did...

The only problem with punching in this game is there is no blocking.. I read all these guys protesting to compeat in martial arts and yet not one has mentioned the reason they dont get knocked out all the time is there defending themselves blocking rolling with the punches not standing flat footed like a twerp which will get you knocked out quick smart.( If a great deal of your training wasnt in methods of avoidance id get your money back because you were trained to be a knock out dummy ) The amount of force required to knock a person out ( or semi out where the lights are on and no body is home a state that would still make it easy for someone to take your gun away and shoot you) is not all that much if you hit in the right place. A balistic helmet gives zero protection from being knocked out by a punch does it cover your chin( beyond a strap ) nope does it stop your head from snapping back from being struck correctly in the chin ? nope. Thats why there are so many bike helmets in the game these do provide punch protection. PS next time your in game having a fresh spawn vs freshspawn boxing match use the lean function it actually works if timed correctly ( not perfect hit boxes seem a little screwy lol) and being hit from behind is a perfect way to get knocked out so if your dumb enough to let someone get behind you and take a shot then sorry you deserve to get knocked out

You kinda answered your own question didnt you ?? You found one 2 weeks ago and now have found another.. How many hours played in those 2 weeks how many times have you found a mosin or sks or any other gun or attachment in that time?? that will give you a solid answer. But in my experience they are fairly rare but then loot spawn is pretty random andd luck can be on your side i have gone 8 days solid looking for 1 before finding one and another time while i was set on using an sks with pu scope i found 3 in 2 days but still generally id say pretty rare..

This something has trade value to you if you need it if it helps you survive or increases your quality of life be it food water weapons warm cloths batteries etc. An artificial currency say like fall outs bottle caps has no place in the early stages of an apoc perhaps when some form of society rises there would be a currency but at dayz stand point your in the survive mode so if i cant eat it drink it stay warm with it protect myself with it why on earth would i want it at these early stages of apoc gold diamonds etc would be worthless crap to all but the stupid... 99% of the population has died ( or infected ) and are now trying to kill you in that situation id say it be a long time before you could walk into a store and buy something with currency which is a goverment controlled form of value there is no goverment anymore there is no currency except bartering for things of worth for things of worth..

Yeah your wierd alright the mere fact that torture can induce a man to beg for his death shows where real fear lies. I am not saying you shouldnt be afraid of dying but given the option dying quickly vs being torn apart i know what any sane human would choose. The PvP kos scene doesnt really add fear to the game tension caution maybe the start of fear but seeing its usually KOS there is no time for fear to sink in except in the situation you mention of meeting survivour and doing the awkward sizing up. Maybe having been in the army i am less afraid of people shooting at me ( fear is your enemy learn to hone focus and use the adrenaline to action rather than freeze in fear) the fear of undead( or infected as the case maybe) tearing you to pieces with no remorse or hesitation . Perhaps having been in iraq in the early 90's and boganville island( not spelt correctly lol) new guinea i fear a bullet far less than the primal fear of being eaten alive.. The game needs to focus on atmosphere as much as survival make the world look as if it has endured an apoc i want to see far more blood and gore in the streets houses, streets lined with the dead and hidden amongst those dead props zeds that will attack suddeenly when you draw to close. zeds dormant in rooms of houses so when you go to loot the sudden jump of opening a door to a instantly raging zed in your face.. Rocket already mention making doors creak when opened and stuff like that is a step in the right direction a shoot out produces little fear more adrenaline the scares a zed could should produce far greater...

Could be wrong but i am sure i saw irish post a pic of what he plays dayz with which was some space age looking mouse /controller with analogue levers on it i would say he has one of these analogue controls made to be his zoom so he can control it. I am one of those guys who uses a controller so i have an analogue trigger for it plus i use pedals to analogue control my leaning.

What how absurd they are trying to add survival elements to a game being sold as survival horror what is the world coming to isnt survival merely having the most guns??? I think someone bought the wrong game dont fear arma is on sale every other week try it out its an awesome mil sim with more guns than you can poke a stick at( specially with modded guns) I welcome as many survival aspects as possible when the weather is as big an enemy as the zeds and pew pew players... I welcome hunting and bare bones survivval crafting kinda like how i would imagine things would go in a complete and utter breakdown of society and all the luxuries that come with it. With no one making ammo for these guns how long do you think bullets will last when your shooting at the 99% of the population who have turned into zeds ( and in most cases the 1% of humans also ) Thats right let rip full auto your m4 a gun not made in this fictional country sure it would have come with nato forces but how much ammo did they bring how much of it did they use when it all turned to shit.. PvP should always be a part of this game fighting for survival for the dwindling resources but to many of you guys just want to deathmatch to deathmatch and are waiting for bases so you can stock them with ammo guns so when you die you can quickly re arm to deathmatch . For vehicles so you can travel fast to speed your kills how about some of you actually think of how to survive in a survival game rather than how many kills you can get with each life radical thought i know but has none of you noticed there is no K/D score.

While i admire your purisim of the game it may be a little ah strong to call these methods cheating.. In a perfect world the only talking would be in game local chat there would be no loot spawn maps etc but sadly that is not the case. I recall watching rocket get all excited about the idea of using duck tape to cover a players mouth to block communication and then the drop when he said yeah wont stop 3rd party chatting. Guess the realization it would have little effect in game has made that idea vanish as i have never heard or seen anything from the idea again.. So TL DR i wouldnt call it cheating but i would call it a lessening of the possible game experience..

I can agree to a point on this but again you do realize that most of the 1000s vehicle start up gun etc servers are actually not the work of modders but of admins adjusting the database of the game.. Although i didnt agree with many of the decisions of say epoch mod some of it was very much in the spirit of dayz ( barricading etc not the npc traders that belongs in wasteland) Again at the end of the day the players have a far bigger effect on making the game a boring death match not modders hell dayz aint even finished and what are players doing?? again keep the spirit of true dayz alive by choosing your server you play on the ill informed rallying against modding is well almost offensive specially in a game that came from a mod imagine if the arma community was so against modding and keeping it pure vanillia arma ( many were against dayz though )

Why give up the topic is about modding i am in full support of modding ( makes sense as i am a modder) you are not, the best way to show the strength of ones arguement ( based on this being an open debate being in a open public forum) is to show the weakness of the arguement being presented by those in the negative. You failed to do this you just want to throw insults when you come up against oppersition to your opinions hey just because i think your wrong doesnt mean your wrong argue the points why is modding bad why should only some things be modded and not others. Why is not your own choice of servers not a strong enough device for you to protect what it is you want and if its not does that not mean in reality your opinion is not in the majority ?? I didnt like many of the mods of the dayz mod but many of them had great modding work put into them and as pointed out many were watered down by the fact admin could effect the game data base eg your 1000s vehicles etc shouldnt you rally against admin powers to do such things rather than stiffle creative works that may MAY grow dayz..

If you re read my posts there actually isnt any direct insults there mate( you had better re read your own my comments are directly based on what you say hence why i have qouted you every step so even after any possible editing tits still there..) saying that what you have posted is stupid isnt an insult i am not calling you stupid. Saying you base opinions on videos isnt an insult you stated it yourself the only one throwing actual insults is you lets see it was dunce numbnuts morronic... Difference is you cant seem to stand when someone is in conflict with your ideas which surprises me it doesnt happen more often judging by there level of content.

Why do you need help?? i am merely pointing out the stupidity of some of your posts and you keep back pedling and trying to brush of the relevance of your own posts you made in your own thread and you need help ? well ok maybe you do .. But no comment on the validity of your choice in mods as you say you like new maps so is it not relevant that you choose to play servers that have only modified the map or does your narrow opinion base need to be placed on those who wish to see where the community could take the game.../

with a person who wants some mods but not others but is not smart enough to figure he can do this by choosing the servers he plays on not really..Specially whe he is the narrow minded kind that can form opinions based of videos and cant figure how modding of the rv 4 and the rv 3 engine relates to modding a moddified rv 3 engine. Yeah actually your right its kinda pointless when you think about it ...

yeah english being my third language i am not very good at it to be honest and yeah i am sure they can figure it out jester lol it must be someone who forms opinions from watching something in a edited video rather than experience and forming opinions on other peoples opinions they kinda rememeber .../ Doohh i mean second language wearing that dunce cap again aye.
