they probably state its alpha because you hear whinning about a bug there are bugs yes but instead of whinning on them how about we all do as intended with an early release alpha.... Which is report the bugs on the tracker up vote the really big issues and well then the devs can filter and fix what needs doing asap cause they aint going to sit and read a thread x amount of pages long about some dude lost his character because of bug x its not how it works people get sick of people crying the same thing every day and not doing it how it is intended to be done.. The game is so terrible to you , you like rust play rust and come back to Dayz later cause your not reporting bugs your whinning in the genral discusion very different things....

So my option 1 i made would be agreeable with you then ??? it doesnt conflict with any of you ideas you have expressed..... OR is there another reason you want it one way ( its how i like to play etc get my buddies gaurd my body so i can gear up ) its fine if thats what you want express that do not express something as a reason not to say you cant fix it when well you can to a certain extent lol . I am not against people wishing the game there way but be honest in your arguements is all...

There may be no perfect solution to get around it but there are ways to mostly avoid this 1 unable to loot ones own body ( can be semi side stepped by your team collecting as much of your stuff as possible and handing it to you but still more realistic 2 make body lootable only for a set amount of time be it 10 minutes 15 what ever( this may have you able to loot your own body if lucky ) after that it is merely scenery This is just a couple ideas off the top of my head lol oh and if you say thats artifical gamey way of doing it well as you point out thats the problems of it being a game. ( everything in the game is artificially portrayed or do you think the eat drink method is based on real life??)

Ok well i agree to a point here but the strange thing as you say your a new person but some how you know where a person has died with good loot( your own death) and also usually you seem to have a strangely strong bond with people you have never met ( ya know the guys in your squad) If your going to complain on the level of realisim then you have to realise the level of metagaming denies the basic truths you have said. I have stated i dont want a body to despawn but you shouldnt be able to get your gear back regardless of your buddies gaurding your body cuase as your a new person as you stated there not your buddies right there that dead guys buddies. Dont remove the bodies there ar other ways to limit stop dying and gearing up of your own body which is not realistic and defeats the idea of this games death eg starting again as a new person as you yourself pointed out.......

Ah say 5 hail marrys and whip yourself with rosery beads till there is a small amount of blood and you and the god of gaming are even LOL ... Seriously i am totally against combat logging even when it is with a AI zed but to be honest in this situation id probably do the same but id say dont make a habbit of it once you start down a dark path ya da ya da

A standard door hmm yeah i wouldnt rip it down but i sure as hell can kick in a standard wooden front door may take a few kicks ( but it is experience that allows me to know how to do it ) as a zed i wouldnt have that experience instead i have no pain and am amped up with rage ( most likely making me tap the animal strength that humans do havee but dont access oh being civilised lol ) At 6'4 and flickering around the 130 to 140 kilo mark(about 300 pounds no im not fat well not overly lol ) zed me is going to charge that door down and shatter it maybe in one hit maybe in a few ( but as i have no inteligence at all as a zed i would have a chance to splating my brains while doing this. Conclusion a single zombie would be able to go through a standard wooden door ( these are fast moving not the slow romero zeds) but it may take a few hits ( imagine the tension hear the loud smash of a zed hitting a door) but it should give the zed the chance to well kill itself by bashing its own brains in while raging on the door.. If something like this was implemented then further should be done in regards to barricading doors so much could be done in this regard. But at very least they will fix zed ghosting lol and it may end up with zeds merely opening the doors to get at you ( i hope for more but could live with this) Edit remember there is no rotting zeds they arent the undead type zeds they are infact living people with an infection aka 28 days style zed.. very different creature indeed.

Ah ok i am lost this thread is to discuss what ??? could fist fighting etc be improved i hope so is it ever going to be like playing teken or some other game that exclusively does hand to hand fighting lol no no it wont lol . Ps if you think 1 punch knocking you out is un realistic then i suggest you do some experimenting go to any sort of self defence or boxing etc class and ask an experienced guy to try punch and knock you out , depending on your abilities to block dodge will greatly determine if he knocks ya out one punch. I started an interest in MMA while in the army and after i left ( i was discharged for knocking an officer out with well 1 punch lol long story not for these forums... ) I continued this interest in civilian life and i can say i have knocked people out 1 punch and in a bar fight i was king hit ( hit from behind) and i myself was knocked out with this one punch . So do i believe punching is Over Powered um no if ya fuly geared and you have a unarmed fresh spawn keep a safe distance to respond to any possible rocky moment..

Ah can you give some proof to that statement??? because grass does eat alot of resources the way the RV engine handles them it eats to much infact lol why do you think they limit grass draw distance?? if it wasnt resource hungry wouldnt they make it draw to the same distance as other objects?? Try for your self go into your setting and drop object detail down to very low ( which makes less grass get rendered and then on very high and tell me how much your fps is effected. Then with those results imagine them drawing grass to the distance they draw larger objects to ............... now one suggestion ( not sure if its been suggested here it has been alot in arma 3 forums) is to use a pip ( picture in picture) method to handle scope sights as this would allow you to draw grass in the area the scope is looking at . Even this method is actually quite high demands on cpu resources on amra 3 imy rig can handle pip at very high but many many peoples cant handle it well or at all so going this method would advantage those with good rigs and elimnate those with lesser rigs even using sniper rifles ( longer range scopes) WHat i am getting at is its a problem its been one forr a very long time in RV engine games there is not likely a good fix that is easy or they would have done it. Now if your a tech expert by all means step up tell us and BIS how to do it or otherwise we are complaining about something they know about but the fix may end up as bad or worse as the problem lol ...

Ok for me personally i would make the 10 minute limit to getting the items off a body but after that 10 minutes i would still have the body there but as purely a visiual cue of what has gone down . It would then just be part of the scenery no longer able to have anything removed but could still be burried . (harsh perhaps unrealistic perhaps but would make death have the effect its ment to the game is ment to be authentic in the emotions it makes. Squad play often means you dont ever die in the true sense you dont start again you run back to your body .... The way i mention makes death again have meaning but leaves the visual cues for people to know the shit has gone down lol ...

DO you want them to spend the money on making the game better or on the rights to display brand names for generic loot??? Id like brand names but end of the day id rather a better quality dayz (coke would still charge them to use the brand i dont think they would take the advertising well ya never know someone pose it to them lol ) EDIT lol so they did pose it didnt think they would allow it without a good chunk of money lol ..

ok well i like the idea but seperate flight models between the two modes might be a little hard , I would suggest that the major portion of TOH or atleast a good step toward it should be implemented ( maybe i suck but it took me a while to get to a good level on TOH ) But making closer to this level fits the aunthentic feel and the idea everyone seems to go a player in game has all the skills you as a player have ( can do what ever in game you as player know to do eg medical etc) than this fits it will mean not many will be able to fly something that in dayz IS A POWERFULL TOOL but not one just anyone can use realisticly ( if they pratice they could but what clan etc is going to let someone who cant already fly ,fly something that will hopefully take a long time to find fix etc) So i am all for the implementing of as close to the flight model of TOH ( which is the version of the engine they actually made Dayz on RV i know but different to armas RV as is dayz now different to TOH lol ) as possible without losing resources for the main side of the game. Hope that makes sense ( basicly yes to much harder maybe not full simulation though lol ) EDIT i say not full simulation cause with TOH that was the game it takes alot of cpu to run all the extra calculations ( ya talking wind drafts etc etc) i dont think it possible to have both the dayz game and toh and have it perform well ( could be wrong ) In a perfect super optimized world ( which i dont think the RV engine will ever be for various reasons) Id go shit yeah full TOH model ..

Um as far away from arma this game wants to get this is one thing that should stay exactly as arma did it .. It worked and it just seems strange to have it auto zoomed for some things and no zoom on others ( again i to feel the zoom is actually zooming into what the eyes would see focusing in the distance)

i wouldnt have all of them on third id still have a 1st person only server ( as even with fourth wall 3rd view makes it easier to land helicopter etc i can land a helicopter in TOH in first view i dont need it for that LOL) Bur just for the general feel of the game for balancing of loot and zeds (loot because you generally move slower in a first person view cause it takes a little longer to scout the scene in first longer =using more food water) I honestly believe something like the 4th wall would make the game tenser for 3rd players and allow me to happily play with them on that server mostling using first (apart from pics and maybe sitting round camp fire lol )as i prefer but not being at a disadvantage in player or zed interactions. When i play alone id still go to what i hope will be around 1st person hardcore mod servers ( on seperate or private hive)not because i think i am hardcore but i like a challenge ...

Ok i prefer to play 1st and when i play alone i play on 1st person view only i find it more immersive ( have actually been startled by zeds which never happens in third to me. But alot of my friends ( who strangely play arma in first person only in a strict mil style) prefer to play in 3rd in dayz . So i end up spending alot of my time on a third and well as much as i hate to admit it as soon as i do i know i can use 3rd view so i do and i know i can see over walls so i do and can easily plan my attack or response be it player or zed but it just doesnt feel right the way i play changes completely its never as tense.. Id just like to be able to play with the guys i play with (who for god only known reason prefer the feel of it flicking from 1st to 3rd (3rd for general moving etc 1st for combat once the bullets fly lol ) and every other player, and have it a level playing ground so i could remain in first and get my thrills and tense moments in that view and they in there view but still having as tense a time as they need to in third peak around corner to see whats there like me in 1st. I honestly feel it will make the devs job easier i mean the whole balance of zeds changes when the surprise factor is given back to them (you can see them they can see you ) same if its players (you can see them they can see you ) it just seems fair to me . Thats why i chose the fourth wall idea doesnt change there view at all except removes them seeing zeds or players when there player wouldnt be able to see them. Its ment to be authentic that will give those who prefer 3rd view a more authentic feel to dayz and there might be some more thrills to be had i have always found fear of the unkown ( specially when it could be someone who wants to shoot you ) was scarier than seeing something you shouldnt and being able to hide watch it and plan an attack /response.. On a end note id like to use third view for taking screenshots of my character call me strange hey holiday snaps in the apoc but as it stands now if i use 3rd i cant help but use it in a way i know isnt in the idea of the game but if your handed a tool you use it to full extent please fix not remove it ....

Not a Kos player but not butt hurt at all if thats how you want to play its your right lol and it does make the game tense ( with a lack of zeds or survival dangers.) You KOS and hapilly addmit it i think you could find more in the game but its your game lol your story your not trying to dress it up keep trucking mate. One day i may see you and well i dont KOS but a guy sniping there ill do my best to kill ya or you will see me and snipe me and ill go fuck why did i stop sneaking/ take that valley what ever and ill be bummed i am starting again but its not like it that hard to start again ..... have some beans...

Nice have my beans mate. Makes me want to go play right now..... that real tension fear thrills and yes even a friendly ends up having to kill ( but 7 lol crazy )

Lol someone even made quite an in depth fishing mod for arma 3 ( rv engine game also ) and honestly it was a good as many bought fishing games. So its not only possible but with not a large ( or overly large ) amount of coding quite a deep fishing function could be added. EDIT could be added but i am sure they will add fishing in how deep a portrayly i could only guess but most likely not as deep as the fishing mod.

In this post you pretty much state what i was saying about your play style you merely just want to leave a broken already game mechanic in as it aids your play style nothing about it being gritty or authentic as the developers wish the game to be lol no arguements on it being realistic just my play style me um me your right i am missing the point of when you retort to someone who offers a different view with what equates to pretty much lying to your friend to garner support?? please explain it to me again .. I have already stated you need to make your own thread something along the lines of why 3rd view is perfect as it is and well at the end of the day niether side really has that much influence its up to the devs but seeing as they have already expressed an interest in fixing 3rd view i wonder which thread will be more usefull for them if they decide to ????

um so you biased the topic with your own views and posed it as a question to him from your own preconcieved notions... no offence it aint quite the same thing. I need to see how you get romving the unrealistic exploit of 3rd view = remove 3rd view as you suggested to your friend. Have to ask your not a politician by any chance because they are usually masters of twisting things to suit there arguement lol. FIX NOT REMOVE 3RD VIEW. You need to start argueing from the point why it doesnt need fixing why its not unrealistic why humans can see over 10 foot high walls to the other side till then sorry i just see a guy who likes to camp using 3rd view periscope to aid his play style not someone who wants a balanced 3rd view or is actually fighting to save 3rd view cause most of the people posting here want to merely balance 3rd view not remove it.

Indeed any advantage you get from this is indeed small in the over all scale of the game. I wouldnt compare it in any way to the advantage turning gama up at night gives you in relation to seeing people lol not even in the same ball park, state hell country .....

You know he was admin ?? can i ask how you knew there is no visual in game ques that they are admin lol . Sometimes servers restart at bad times most likely an abusive admin will kick you not restart server after the info of his dead character is aready locked on the hive. Not saying there arent admin who abuse but i would say maybe think about what happened and actually know what happened before screaming WOLF....

all true they are a high impact protection case i could be wrong been a few years out of the military but i do not believe they were ever rated to be resistant to small arms fire??? (that wiki doesnt say bullet proof just high impact to military standards) More as a general tough to withstand having average sized men fall with them slam into things etc. Hey i am happy for some one pointing at an actual listing of them being resistant to small arms fire cause the peli case web site i didnt find any mention of it.. Not saying i know i am right for sure but wiki link doesnt say it nor are they always deadly correct lol.. Edit if they do turn out to be bullet proof im going to ask they work as protection for us when getting shot then if by chance it hits where u store it..

No need to flame i just hope your joking thats all......

You are given the choice no one will stop you wearing what you want in whatever state it may be but as stated they are going for an authentic experience . So lets say cold and rain become a feature do you think your ruined cloths with all the rips and damaged pockets ( which would drop items as you ran ) will keep you as warm as a nice intact version will?? You have the choice but live with the costs of those choices like everything else in the game you choose to play bandit you have the risk your hold up goes south and you may die. But yes repairing should be an option a nice needle thread idea( or tape to a much lesser degree) might take the losing items away as you sow up pockets rips but leave the genrally tatty apearance of said clothing would that make you happy ?????

at times just logging into a server i get a blurry screen not having been hurt at these times i believe it to be a bug and doing as perscribed will remove it . I think it relates to post processing effects but that is just an educated guess lol.
