definately would be nice to favorite a server in game i mean its in game you find out iff it is a good server. Yeah i find the server history very VERY hit and miss. Actually got to the point i was writing down server name playing then making notes on it eg desync population if it restarted more than 1 time when playing a 5 or 6 hour run etc. Found a good hardcore server that so far has kept a deceent population doesnt desync ( all that much lol ) and has the times it resets written when you enter the game so i am sticking till any of the good points change..

Clothing tells you nothing of a player you cant tell a hero or a bandit by what they are wearing. Some one might just think the pay day mask is cool someone might be role playing with the gas mask on cause its an air born virus that turned the population into zeds. The gear that carrys the most loot is well mill gear so as a survivour you want to be able to carry your gear its camo so makes you harder to spot that helps yes to shoot people or avoid being shot by people. Even when they add more clothing options in ( i know they will) there cloths will not tell you if there bandit or hero it will tell you whats the best stuff they have found it might tell you what they think looks cool or what ever. Grow some nuts and find out who or what ya dealing with before pulling the trigger is it a more dangerous way to play yes, yes it is but its alot more fun the challenge is HUGE. What a person does makes them a bandit or hero and while there is no hero or bandit skin ( which i would never want ) cloths tell you squat in relation to there intentions....

This i can roll with if i run into you and your friend and we are talking if you have long silence times i give 1 warning maintain chat i dont threaten ill shoot but yeah if you keep going silent to meta game chat ya friend i have to assume the worst and well i am going to kill you . This can mean you kill some innocent people but not many as the warning i give is clear is it perfect hell no but its a hell of alot better than there wearing mil gear he is a BANDIT hurp durp rubbish..

Why is the guy in mil gear with a mosin a bandit??? thats the gear i usually roll and i am no bandit its the gear that 1 holds more stuff so it is good for a survivour its camo so it makes you harder to spot eg good for avoiding bandits it has some value in protecting you ( balistic helm although i prefer to rock the green beret). Bandits can look like anything so can survivours am i ment to rock around in a yellow rain coat so you dont think i am a bandit lol these comments are well infact quite retarded and possible an excuse for you to feel alright about shooting a geared up player and feel you killed a bandit so your not a bandit well sorry if you didnt find out there a bandit and you killed and looted them guess what your a KOS BANDIT. Nothing wrong with that but dont complain about them when you are one yourself. EDIT though the first part of your post is a good idea join a forum of arma/dayz players chat team up people you meet outside game are a safer bet than those in game but you can still meet them in game and its tense will they back stab me lol..

LOL this very much this learn the skills you need to navigate and survive the game. I wish i could get lost again been storming chernarus for 5 years and well chernarus plus is a little different but only in it has extra towns and more enterable buildings. Blindly exploring is were the fun really is in this game discover new spots hell you may find one that you THINK will make a good camp/base spot you know that little area not in the path of going town to town but not to far out so its easy top get supplies and has a pond stream for water.......

there are actually plenty of spots on the map where the mesh is screwed and you can walk crawl or just step into i found one in a rock at black lake but thankfully it wouldnt make a good killing spot like this. I wont give the examples of other locations i have found as well some of them do make good spots if you wish to be a dick and play that way . I just report them so hopefully they will get fixed doubt they will ever get all off them but spots like neaf being a high traffic high loot value area definately should be a priority lol..

i wouldnt advocate using an external map but i guess i understand specially for players new to arma and playing on such a large map. But if you have to alt tab town is not the place to do it unless as pointed out you are with someone to gurad you and even then i would do it in a 2 or 3 story building safe from zeds where you team mate has the advanatage over anyone sneaking in. To the OP you deserved to die you ddint even clear the town before you decided to go checking a map i am hoping your tactical level of the game gets better and better or your going to be spending alot of time on the coast as a fresh spawn...

largest currently made bf map stands at 2.4 km x 1.9 km so around 4 square kilometers. so more like balota and cherno no where near cherno to electro mate. Edit shit that isnt even balota and cherno thats around 6.5 square kilometers. Oh and that size doesnt count the extra room in bf they make for aircraft ( ya know air craft out of bounds is much further out than infantry out of bounds so i have only counted the area you can actually run in ...

Bandits. heros, and survivours all wear the same things lol you honestly cant tell jack from what they are wearing i wear ttsko pants jacket green beret aviator glasses a dust mask ( its ment to be air born infection that zombied the population so i rpg carefull. Im rocking a mosin LRS fnx sawn off shot gun hunter back pack . Am i a bandit nope i often try make contact and well guys in any type of cloths have a tendancy to start shooting this is how i decide bandit. i will move to an advantage and declare my presence if they turn and try shoot bandit they die if they run and find cover i wait continue to talk from cover if they fire they are bandit. If there is long breaks in there communication to me when we talk they are usually talking in steam team speak skype to a team mate so i warn them to maintain vocals cause if you go quite for more than 5 to 10 seconds on initial talk i am going to shoot you . If they dont cant speak at alll eg have no mic or just wont speak i shoot them cause if you dont talk your generally not playing to be friends lol . Is this a fool proof method no but it is a hell of alot closer than trying to pick clothing items to base bandits off lol , i am pretty sure i have killed some innocent people but i have my rules they usually keep me alive. Honestly the list of what people will KOS for in regards to cloths basicly means you just want to KOS and feel like your not a bandit well sorry if you have made no attempt to find out in interaction ( yes its dangerous thats half the fun you have ya gear if you fail you fie start again no biggie) then you are just another KOS player paint it any way you want but them is the facts KOS= kill on sight you SEE there wearing .... and shoot thats KOS lol .

Really REALLY lol no one made hardcore out to be the elite side of the game is it harder to play yes and honestly from your answer its pretty obvious you dont have a clue what you are talking about. Seriously that has to be the dumbest answer i have read that has been well written i know you havent played the mod by your answers i mean you even point out how limited the aweness is in first person no shit sherlock that is what makes it harder hencee why you decide to play 3rd view. Does it make the game harder for every one so its a level playing field yeah it does. Seriously is there no logic left in people i am ashamed you use such a cool profile pic but then i guess han solo was a bit well stupid to cool but stupid he had to slapped in the face with the forrce to believe it to ....... Go play arma or the mod of dayz the views work exactly the same as they do in the standalone and do as i asked back a car or land a helicopter and tell me which was harder in which view..... You have no redeeming worth as a comunity member funny quips sure but all the logic of road kill.... Edit for the 10th bloody time i like 3rd view i dont want it to go away there are plenty of valid reasons to use 3rd view but sorry difficulty is not will not or ever be a valid one. I am happy the hives have been seperated cause honestly i thought the first person players were pig headed but it seems stupidity is alive and well amongst some of the 3rd view players aswell as first view players...

yeah without binocs in game yet it does make scouting much easier lol. But yes as has been said they are there i just found one myself last night ( badly damaged though 8( ..) Seek and ye shall find.

This its probably the only place i have ever seen an m4 spawn in a city but as he said the ammo is the problem why cause in well over 100 hours i have never ever found 5.56 ammo any where outside a mil base airport.. Oh and if your not a noob as you claim you would already know all this.

Pretty much he has already used plenty of assets from arma 3(RV4) the only other thing i really want him to use from arma 3 is the incremental stances. Yes i know dayz uses different skelletons to arma 3 so the animations would need to be redone but its not that hard to do lol. I dont understand all the waht ifs here honestly could it be done better on a different engine in theory yes but in practical terms not really , there are other games Dayz like ( possible inspired by Dayz such as warz lol ) are they better than Dayz maybe to some people they are i personally prefer dayz... RV isnt perfect but the game will be epic guys will it always have a few rough edges maybe but i am sure as we round the end of beta stage most if not all of these will be smoothed alot or completely ( melee is never going to match a game that deals in only melee such as mount and blade chivalry etc.

It must definately be some sort of bug as they should be on seperate parts of the hive i would be carefull of which servers you join i have found a couple that have a habbit of deleting you characters. Definately shouldnt get your regular character on hardcore id play a regular server to lock in your regular character ( i am assuming you will wish to keep him to play on regular. Then try to find a hardcore server which starts you at default and play that hopefully it should have both saved then. PS make note of the servers that are hardcore that have loaded your regular character so people can avoid them losing there hardcore character lol.....

Not really my last life i was wearing both before a destnc to the hive caused me to lose a 3 day old character my new character who has about 4 hours of play on him is wearing boththe pants and jacket. I started in berez went to riffy acros to the NEAF then through several towns on the way to NWAF done complete set plus weapons ammo and pretty much everything else i need ( not all of it pristine but use able lol. The amount has been reduced but honestly its not that hard to find mate.

LOL this i play as a survivour who holds there humanity i dont KOS i will try make contact this often ends in shooting on both parties If i come up behind them and let them know i am there it becomes quite obvious if there a bandit in many cases they turn to attack or they run to cover and attack. Yeah it means i put myself at more risk but i try minimize it by how i make contact but it always ends with a tense interaction always in the back of the mind cant trust anyone a killer looks well kinda like a hero unless he wants to look like one.. Isnt it the risk that is heroic??? i thought bravery was the sign of a hero . try playing it smart i know i find it very satisfying and if they ever brought this sort of thing in i hope they wouldnt to first person view servers i think it makes life to easy well for me anyway IMHO...

LOL harsh words mate but have to agree the perfect answer that some people want is well not realistic is what we have and in the future going to be perfect i doubt it but damn if they cant make it damn bloody good on a engine they know and have used for years how on earth are they going to do it perfect on an engine they dont have so many years experience on. The what ifs have to base there ideas on what could actually be done ( i dont want to be an old old man before i see what i believe will be an epic Dayz perfect no havent ever played a perfect game.

ah yes they do just change the presentation, can you tell me how having the ability to see above/over around things makes the game harder when you can automatically see an entire area i will have to move out into behind cover and peak out to see if anyone is there. You dont need to play to carefull to get as much info on a area that i do while having to be carefull im not sure how one can explain in easier terms which would be harder?? But tell me you seem to know as yes its just the presentation ...... I have never argued a removal of third person it is by far the most popular way to play it. I am happy we play on different servers (3rd out numbering 1st servers what atleast 10 to 1. There is no contest in which is more popular its 3rd view but all i have argued thus far is the fact first person only is the harder way to play you try backing up a car in game when we get them in first and tthen in third and tell me which worked out easier forr you or landing a chopper????

Very much this i want to hear the story but without a story it gives them free range to put in what ever they like in weapons its not unbelievable that america or any other country might not have come to the aid of chenarus.(think they would need to hire a good fiction writer lol) I would expect far more local weapons in the area but really i hope they have plenty of other nations guns aswell i want as much variety as they can throw at us as long as the spawn rate reflects how much rarer it would be in this sort of area.

I never said you were argueing against 1st merely you stated it was not harder than 3rd and over and over i have pointed out how your wrong and how everyone who is important thinks your wrong on that point. ( hence the take it up with rocket take it up with BIS) Third view isnt going away so if you say thats what your fighting for to keep third well mate your wasting your fight cause it aint going away so find your calm 3rd view is safe. I have clearly stated playing something at harder level doesnt make you a better person or playing a easy level makes you a lesser person people enjoy video games the way they want it aint real life we are not playing to win there is no compertition . The only thing i have argued aginst you is that it is harder on first person tried to give you valid arguements both from a video game point of view and real life situations but still you go off ya nut and aginst what you dont even know you are just grinding you gears spinning your wheels going no where. You dont need to fight 3rd is staying so if the fight is not really to save third it doesnt need saving what are you really fighting against ???? Are you fighting the FACT that first person is and will continue to get harder ( due to increasing zeds and maybe some other mechanics) than 3rd view play is because that is what you have been argueing with me!!!!!!!! Sorry if thats your fight which it has been with me ( the only point against 3rd i have said is difficulty ) then i am afraid you will be fightting that one for the rest of your life because anyone with an iq above 90 can realise what view is harder to play in not what view makes you a better person or a lesser person thats all troll rubbish just ignore it but the fact remains 1st person view is harder to play in sorry there is no arguement there and you have offered none of any valid points to counter that ......

KOS has its place it likely will never go away but for me i have far more entertaining encounters with people when i dont shoot them without talking to them. Usually attempt ( remembering i play in first person view) to get in a position of advantage then make contact sometimes this turns into meeting a friend sometimes it means meeting what i class as the lower spectrum of the KOS crowd the guy who can do nothing else so will blindly try turning to shoot on me when its a straight pull and your dead for me.) Or the intelligent KOSer who will adapt and talk lowering my guard and maybe getting to kill me when he is clever. Sometimes they make a good dash to get away find cover and a gun fight begins with the bullets flying and my heart pumping in these i may die or i may kill them but damn it was exciting. Hiding in a bush or on a hill just waiting to kill the few guys who come past is rather boring to me but i dont want to stop the players who do this ( although i think they could get more from the game) they add the tension there the reason i take carefull moves going around the map there the reason i take such care when i make contact with a player. Does this get me killed more often than if i just straight KOS sure but then my average game life is around 20 hours before dying so i am doing alright surviving getting tense action as it is at the end of the day if i die and had an awesome adrenaline rush i figure i just won the game harder than the koser who took me out having been hidden or on first sight of my back from a building etc. Keep rocking KOS crew i enjoy the tension you bring and it gives me stuff to do when i do get bored ill head to the coast and find the obvious fresh spawn KOSer and then there is no communication i am free to pull the trigger and smile...

Sorry if i sounded harsh just so many threads that werent really needed spring up lol water is one of the easiest elements now once you start getting illness from drinking dirty water its going to get alot ALOT harder lol Soonish you will need to boil or use water purification tablets so drinking straight from these ponds will be risky ,a i am going to die if i dont situation rather than bloody hell might aswell fill my stomach as it is now.

beans for you, playing a harder difficulty doesnt make you a better player hell i might suck at the game but i like a challenge so i play it on a harder level. There are some very VERY good players who play third for whatever reason ( personally know a long time arma vet who strictly plays first person arma in a mil organised style but for dayz he likes 3rd view i wouldnt say he was a lesser player cause i know he can kill the shit of me ( we have tested this both in arma and dayz lol )

I dont want either removed from the game and fear not third person view aint going away the dumb ass shit is you have been argueing 3rd view is harder(and sometimes that 1st is not harder and there you are talking shit take it up again with rocket he thinks first is harder take it up with bis they class it as harder check all the arma games go up in diffculty it locks to first person . You just go round in circles without one valid point against first person mate honestly every time i read your posts i just get a image of you and i feel like face palming to the extreme. Many people enjoy the game in third that doesnt make you a lesser person there is plenty of valid arguements for playing in third it being hardeer aint one of them (again never argued against any of your other points on third) Figure out what your arguing for and aginst and then you may not sound as ill informed......

never argued against it giving you immersion never argued it is good for story telling if you read my posts i said actually like videos in third person as for the isnt exploited half as much as you think your deluding yourself i want you to video yourself normally playing in third so we can see how often you use third view to see over around things to get a view you couldnt in real life get ( it becomes subconcious you do it naturally because you can do it ) Your argueing dumb shit because your not reading or understanding what has been said. Ok you feel safer on 1st person servers huh ok then come play on them give up third view for 3 days when you have been kos because you didnt see people ( its very easy to hide in first person view and have people walk right past watch dyslexis videos so you can camp kill almost as much as you can in third lol then add to this how often do you get taken by surprise by a zed in 3rd view almost never why cause you can see them easier lol in 1st person you can quite often be taken by surprise by a zed by someone behind you and lets see when there are a shit load more zeds are you going to feel safer when they can take you by surprise but they pretty much cant in 3rd person view. I admire you are deefending your view no need to it aint ever going away but trying to call it harder than 1st person view and thats what ya saying you said we hiding from a challenge that you get in 3rd ( ill direct quote you if you deny this point). You are just talking DUMB ASS SHIT if you play arma what happens when you turn the difficulty up oh it gets locked to 1st person view only guess what now in dayz its the same so BIS know 1st person is harder ROCKET knows first person is harder but some how you know better aye...... Take sometime think about your arguements ( again not needed third person aint going away ) but honestly if you are 3rd person views white night to defend against the evil of first person your not doing a good job you are just making yourself look well ill informed ( honestly the frustration of dealing with such retarded arguements id like to just call you names lol )
