First person i met in the standalone, day one gave me something to drink and we chatted about the changes from the mod... The second stabbed me with a kitchen knife and ran as i drew an axe then when i bandaged he ran in and stabbed me again this happened couple times till i trapped him and killed him but died myself from blood loss.

upvoted.... Gews perhaps change the title from the zoom word to focused view perhaps people will understand better people think zoom and go thats not realistic when they dont realize our view is being zoomed ( retracted) back to give us closer to normal peripheral view( still less than we actually have)

We have it here first Dayz is an advocate of gay rights even in the apoc there is time for some man loving.... PS i lost my coffee seeing that pic i laughed so hard beanz beanz for you maybe share them with well who ever you choose to lol

Have you noticed that when you use focus view ( some call it zoom but as it is 1x magnification anyone buy binocs that are 1x magnification there called straight glass lol ) you actually get more fps while focused .. Why because the game renders everything in the path of your view so in retracted view for the peripheral view it has to render far more as your cone of view is much wider so you would be dis advantaging yourself to remove it lol ...

You cant see someone 200 meters up the road in real life WOW i suggest you get glasses then... The zoom as you call it is how they try to represent our normal vision the retracted is to try give us as much peripheral view as possible( still less than our actual peripheral ) and the focused view or zoom as you call it gives us our normal distance vision it is infact 1x magnification. I dont know about you but my eyes have 1x magnification lol they can remove this feature the moment we get very long curved screens that will help portray the view of the human eye alot better instead of the standard 16 x9 16x10 etc screens we have now....

We dont have a zoom or normal vision is represented in 2 views the retracted to give us peripheral view ( less than we actually have) and the focused which gives us our normal at range view it is infact 1x magnification lol...This is done as they cant simulate the human vision very well on a flat screen when we get very wide curved screens there will be no reason for this zoom as you call it.. But yes waiting on binocs..

i find it almost sad that on the dayz forums a campaign for proper vision when using gun sights has 2 pages after a month but something trivial like what percentage girls ya da ya da gets to 4 pages in less than a day.... Give me my proper focus both in and out so that gun play is at its optimum forget if you can meet girls playing this game and start caring about making the most out of the game!!!!

But its worries like food that make the game interesting... Today i died for the first time in 49 hours of play (died before but this was my longest living character) i was completely geared more ammo than i knew what to do with been hanging around zelengorsk nice spot fair traffic but to be honest i had gotten bored so i charged the streets of berezino going on a gun crazed suicide mission only got 4 people before a sks guy took me down.. I dont usually KOS but it just felt time to die... I respawned and the server had 36 players and had been up for 2 hours.. Honestly what happened next was more fun than the last 40 or so . Starving under geared dodging bullets running wild through the cities barely scraping enough food to stay out of the yellow hunger... It was tense as all hell at the end had basic gear and a blazer rifle before i finally decided to leave the coast from my adrenaline run i should have done it sooner but its hard to let go when you have pulled a character through so many close scraps.. TL DR its the struggle thats half the fun...

yeah i use to use both shots one after the other but got out of the habbit after being killed . I stalked a guy for 10 min declared myself he swung straight around i gave him both barrels and someone stepped from the building behind him and gave me auto m4 fire at 20 m .. Dont know if he was a team member and they were teamspeak talking and meeting up or another random but being caught no ammo in gun i started 1 shot attempts and they worked its kinda delayed knockout so the first was scary.. Yeah if they run when i declare myself i go the low shot to hit the legs very effective also....

Strange i find the sawn off brutally effective granted short range maybe 15 max 1 shot usually knocks the guy out ill flip to the fnx for a head shot grab and go ..It seems it is more usually a knock out shot rather than kill as twice after 1 shotting guys i have had them wake up during me looting them... Edit i do aim high center chest so some of the spread hits the head it has worked for me even against fully mil kitted guys in the 5 to 15m range..

I never said anything about switching a server setting ??? merely they can make it pve only and can enforce on a private hive, how you ask well the server logs almost everything that happens so it be easy for an admin to check log and go player xxxxx killed 6 players hmmm server ban player xxxxx next time he tries to log onto that private server his guid is denied he will have gotten his cheap kills by going to the trouble of getting whitelisted and be gone the next day ... Not really worth the effort to get a cheap thrill killing those who want pve thats why ill be going on a private server that allows all play styles.. Why private rather than public it becomes a community the bad guys are cooler the good guys are to they care about the game and thus play it to the full that and its much harder for hackers they get away with an hour of shenanigans then they are guid banned from that server and peace is restored where in a public if vac or be dont catch them they run wild just like they did in the mod...

I have it a real legitimate CURE FOR KOS its quite easy lets look at the term KILL ON SIGHT hmmm if they dont see you they cant kill you now can they ??? WOW that was easy next i am off to cure the world of cancer i am accepting all nominations for the nobel prize thanks guys.....

Its not even in stable yet so IF this happened it was a bug...

Why the interest in percentage or women/girls playing ??? They are just as likely to shoot you or not as a male player hmmm id find a better question why do so many men play a female avatar( my only guess for game reasons is perhaps there hit box is smaller but i dont think it is ). Women/ girls play how many who knows how many people over 30 play who knows why does it matter??? Unless your from the marketing department of BIS i dont see what actually having the real results would do for you ????

please stick to the facts rather than brand your opinions facts and label them such or you may aswell take your own advice... Edit i dont believe anyone who answered the op is interested in a pve server but realize that infact private hive servers will come have been confirmed and with that come admin control on rules hell if they wanted to they could enforce no wearing pants ( i dont think anyone would would they lol)

I see your point he has been paid so why care run wild but you realize he wants to make more games right ??? If he fucks this up big time he wont get the chance to try again he may at best stay on at BIS in the background lol . Its in his best interest to make the game good so he can make more .. eg if he is in it for the money the thing with greed it has no limits there is always more money so he needs to do good to get another chance.. As for not doing much work himself maybe your right but why does he keep dobbing himself in for fuck ups /bugs in all his streams he openly says i was doing this and that killed that and so and so had to fix it lol...

LOL your a brave brave man id be shitting myself to try take a decent sized bear with an improvised bow ( eg would have very low pound rating) but yes i am waiting for these weapons.. Oh dont forget a crossbow has enormous penetrating power they would be infact quite lethal at mid range and have no trouble going through your back pack ( unless striking say a handgun etc in it )

I know where your going they do have limited server resources and as such why waste them on the shows bit players or extras when they could be put to the co stars of it eg zeds... You indeed could be right i am not argueing against your fears but the facts are it is there game if they want to try it why should we try stop them.. All features are subject to change its going to be a long development either way so if they think they can find the resources the correct AI to achieve these things the game will be better for it, if they cant then one would hope they would drop it.. Lets not forget modding will be a feature when its said and done i am sure many share your beliefs and when given the chance will mod many animals out in favour of more zeds... You have said to me you love dayz but then if you did why do you have no faith in the man who made dayz??? can i ask what mod did you play epoch day0 bp ???

Watch his euro gamer stream he basicly said straight out he wants to remove the vault his words were in what situation would you ever want to do this ( he showed the slow vault) over doing this ( he then demonstrated the jump over a fence).

Hmm i would think it makes very decent end game content actually yeah your set up have food weapons a base and now hey i want transport so i could A get a car that needs parts fuel ( something that would be nearly gone and fuel spoils so maybe not a good long term option ) wow a horse doesnt run out of fuel they can survive on just grass ( yeah tamed horses eat all sorts of good stuff but thats to makee coat shinny build extra muscle mass for shows or jumping etc a wild horse lives on what it can eat in the wild..) Whats wrong with wolves would they stop to exisit because humanity has gone, shit no one of there major predators of them goes down they would be on the rise not decline.. I just hoped you would draw some imagination and think beyond the small minded death match that the mods of the mod became andd looked at the big picture.. I to hope zeds get better i really do i want them a threat but i want more in this world to make it feel like a real survival zed apoc....( yes i know using real and zed apoc is an oxy morron )

Once private hive servers are out if you want to make a pve server then its your choice ( not a choice i agree with but hey i dont have to join it so it doesnt bother me ) This may not be for quite a while so for now your going to have to deal with the fact someone might want to kill you for your beans or just the lolz of it all...

near the road how near are we talking here.. Seeing this is the most heavily traveled road in the game i wouldnt have found it safe but hey thats just me. I prefer to head into the woods find a nice bush spend a minute making sure i havent been followed and then log out in the bush for cover of me logging in ...

Hmmm ok as it stands now the m4 is probably nerfed in regards to its actual effectiveness you want to do what make it worse???? why because you were engaged in mid range combat with a weapon intended to excel at that range... The mosin on the other hand might be slightly better than its real counter part ( never fired a mosin in real life but i had a chance to fire a few m4's while in the army they were pretty good on a range( never fired in combat as they are not standard issue in australian army) and i can accept that to give a weapon advantage at range.. Id say its a prelude weapon to future range bolt action rifles but honestly i wouldnt want to face a m4 with an old rifle unless i was 400 m plus out and in cover , any closer and in open id expect to die... Balance the m4 by making it very rare to find not by turning it into a pop gun ( which is what the audio sounds like lol)

id say no and as the devs have stated we have the only npcs we are going to get the zombies.. A npc is AI so its artificial there trying to get things more authentic so the un natural feel of a npc does not fit that .. It fits for zombies as they are un natural do not respond to talking they merely try to make you lunch....

the audio levels between walk and run need to be greatly different to allow stealth .. Currently to me they sound well to close in the level of sound... I guy belting it down the road is going to make more noise than a guy doing a slow crouch walk.. Make stealth movement more of an option and thus the slow vault far more valuable.. seriously as it stands it is no use i make so much noise moving i may aswell run at a enemy to get position as he knows i am coming any way... If he knows i am coming than the rush surprise is my only option rather than a decent stalking of him/her
