All very true but you could easily turn audio to direct voice off and just shoot the offending speaker or ignore them. Strangely as a white guy i suffer racisim very often ,when i go to the bus station to get my son i get surrounded by aboriginals and when i dont give them what they want (money smokes) the white dog white cunt starts (they make sure to point out white with every slur they throw) me i just smile and say yeah but i got all the money i need if you want it your going to have to do more than throws names like little bitches... So honestly some 12 year old in a game squeeking slurs is hardly going to phase me. People are assholes time to accept it and move on.

Solid advice i shake my head every time i see people saying drop all the settings to low when for as long as i have played RV engine games they have always done the terrible palm off to the cpu when lowered( especially shadows) and when your cpu is already doing most of the work throwing more at it to render is only going to hurt your fps.

Meh neither against or for it, wasnt the sack over the head what jason wore in the first friday 13th? I guess if they made you use a knife or sharp object to cut eye holes cant see why it couldnt be used as a mask( just not real high on the list of priorities. So i guess i am a half signature to your petition lol....

WTF. First show me an elevator that only holds 180lb( i couldnt even got on the bloody thing) although this is pretty pointless ( in a survival situation i would take the stairs). In most real life survival situations your chance of survival are exponentialy better if you work with other people. This is a game though and more often than not that other guy probably would have killed you so i dont have a problem with your actions ( well server hopping and trying to axe someone from behind isnt exactly great its a game so meh ) But i do wonder if you understand what logic means though ( as your post has none in it )

Ok not that it overly matters to me in the scope of playing the game but i would say 3 things tell me it is in the relatively early stages after outbreak . 1 The rundown condition of buildings, vehicles rusting in streets etc etc bare very little difference to the condition cherno was portrayed as in arma 2 ya know when there hadnt been a apoc merely civil war and the devs have said it follows after the arma 2 time line. 2 those things running around trying to eat you are not classic undead zombies but infected people. How long do you think these infected people will survive for?? the disease doesnt make them immune to starvation dehydration freezing to death etc etc and once the easy caught food is gone trying to run down animals for food would have them expire very very quickly ( both from hunger thirst and the ill effects of the disease killing them.. 3 DayZ the Z does not mean Zombie but Zero But hey at the end of the day either way it doesnt change how the game is being played with what has been given to us in game.

All i can say is no wonder you got shot in vybor drinking soft drink with comments like these....

Walking already has one advantage many people seem to disregard. Our eyes detect movement quite well so the faster you move the easier you are to spot.. The amount of times i have been walking along through the woods and someone has run past me flat out like a world class sprinter on steriods with a lion chasing them , and not having even noticed me there is well pretty crazy . Hell id say 1/3 of the people i have stalked in game have run past me without seeing me (in the middle of nowhere and i am not hiding i am just walking using what ever cover there is in the shortest path possible. EDIT thats not to say i dont want to see far more realistic reasons to walk like ankle/leg injuries. have you ever gone cross country running with full pack on carrying a weapon( or 2) a few wrong placed steps and bam your down and out ( and in a real survival situation an injury as minor as a sprained ankle CAN(not always depends on the situation requiring survival) make your odds of surviving alot worse but in a zed/infected apoc your screwed....

Interesting thought just a small problem , tiny really hardly worth mentioning .We come from all around the world so it would be terrible ping for many people ( and no one wants to play with high ping if they dont have to ) but that isnt even the real problem (we will forget the fact we come from all around the world and as such live in very different time lines) , but how do we solve the problem of there not being a server large enough to hold us all i mean there are thousands of people on these forums... But i do like the sentiment so beans from me (if you have to dream ,dream big i always say)

Ok why is it bad business practice hmm well 1 who does quality control over said mods being sold as content for BIS game?? who the modder selling it, doesnt work because if its bad it reflects on BIS even though they didnt make it they allowed it to be sold as PAID CONTENT FOR THERE GAME. 2 when they decide to do updates of there base game who is responsible to make this custom content viable with the newest patch ??? modders,hmm what if they sold very few so are not willing to support it anymore, it will have to be updated again by BIS as they allowed it to be openly sold. 3 who is responsible for making sure all these mods are compatable with each other?? who the modders ,why do they give a fuck if there mod conflicts with some other modders work they didnt make that other work OH BIS would have to because again they are allowing it as paid content for there GAME. I have about 6 other points but i am hoping your smart enough at this stage to get the idea of whats wrong with your idea( but i cant be sure, you couldnt see any problems with it in the first place) THE ONLY WAY IT COULD WORK IS IF MODDERS SOLD THERE WORK TO BIS DIRECTLY then bis would take control of distribution and the lions share of profits but also all the responsibilities that as pointed out they would already have. Oh hang on hmm dayz was a mod they bought and made a paid game well bugger me BIS are smart enough to figure out this is the best way to do it if they want to stay a reputable business. Guess thats why they are game developers/publishers and your some guy wanting to play a game on PS4......

Considering the ease of chernarus + being put into arma for modding i can imagine once modding is open to the SA the custom maps from arma will be applied with some work. Hopefully one of these will satisfy your urban urge because i doubt that the devs will do another map seeing its there belief cherno is the heart of dayz ( the main reason they re did it rather than do a whole new map) Not sure how many will play with you on this urban sprawl though seeing so many complain of low frames in urban areas a huge urban map might explode some peoples PC's personally i wouldnt mind trying to play on the middle eastern city of( mind my spelling i cant spell it for shit) fallajuah..

I agree we all take a hit in cities i lose80 fps going into some cities ( i range from 110 to 160ish in the wilds) and range 50 to 90 in cities. I have to ask can i see pics of your resource management to see it using 2 cores i am starting to think i did something wrong when i turned hyperthreading off( which i do just when i intend to play dayz) because although i got 15 fps boost plus with it off i am only using 1 core.

Its using 2 cores on your rig ?? can i see some pics of what ever resource monitoring your doing because in all my tests its only using 1 core on mine ( sure there is a second core running but its idling running everything else in the background) ill be both sad and happy if it is using 2 cores for you , why well sad because what the hell have i done that it only uses 1 for me and happy because then i can fix it to work on 2 cores and my performance should increase. Edit sorry double post.

You believe the game has been optimized to run with intel ?? It hasnt been optimized to run well with any CPU the only difference is that the game is not as far as i can see from resource monitoring multithreaded at all ( it runs on just 1 core of my I74790k) and the sad facts are that for single core performance intel is light years ahead of amd. You should take heart though as they seem to intend to port Dayz to PS4 which runs amd so if they can manage that then i am sure they will be taking much better advantage of your hexicore amd cpu, so relief is hopefully coming for you ( I am goin g to be amazed to see this game run on the 8th gen consoles considering they are pretty much out of date already as far as tech and power goes just IMHO) As for the 30 + FPS is it bad that i can honestly say that my worst area in Dayz is Novo and i still manage more than 50FPS there???

Yeah the internet here isnt the best thats for sure but not sure why demongrovers ping is so bad . I live in regional WA outside of the most isolated capital city in the world and my pings for perth servers is 30 to 40 my ping for eastern states servers is 70 to 120 with 140 to 160 for NZ servers so it aint that bad. I have to ask demongrover are you playing on the free wireless at Macdonalds or something??

Exactly. I enjoy some well directioned PvP , it was and always will be a strong factor in Dayz !! I dont think anyone here who wants the game to be the survival game its advertised to be to not feature PvP. I just wish i could say the same about the THIS GAME IS JUST PVP crowd being willing to have survival features in a survival game!!!

AH they should never had the run speed that fast in the first place. At the very least they should have been slowly lowering the run speed over the last few months with no mention of it in patch notes to ween the ADHD players of the addiction to speed...

Couple small flaws in you r logic here. FIrst speeding around after server restart in a vehicle will do bugger all for you why you ask , persistance its not going to be like the mod where loot spawns on server restart it spawns as the loot economy gets lower and it spawns where there isnt people around ( well thats how its intended to work in the future, i know its bugged to hell currently and most servers turn it off. This is also the same factor that is going to force people to move around the map not the speed they can move but they will need to move around to find the loot that is spawning away from where people currently are. Having a unrealistic fast running speed (with unlimited run) does nothing but screw with gun play mechanics and also premote players running to nearest mil base and then back to the coast to PvP kinda like what they are doing now..

Soft skills by this i believe( its often used as another term for passive) is having skills that go up in the background in non core areas ( eg no combat skills ) I say this as Rocket mentioned many many months ago doing skills for things like sewing (more you sew the better you get the worse the item damage can be , that you can repair and the better the end result of the repair. I actually think this game needs stuff like this to add value to characters and i am hoping they do a few passive/soft skills with maybe the closest to a core skill being a fitness skill (you dont get to see what your skill is in a passive skill) eg the more you run and the better your diet is the longer your character will be able to run.(this would need to be coupled with a strict stamina weight system) I could be wrong but Rocket DID mention bringing in skills like this and i have heard passive skills called soft skills when they relate to non core mechanics. No idea on the life span though .

Nothing wrong with the .22 seeing you got a 30 round clip with it ... With that 30 round clip the thing is like a small caliber assault rifle( it has such a fast semi automatic action that you can pump the bullets out thick and fast if need be so its actually quite effective even if it does destroy all there gear due to pumping numerous bullets into them..

Ok on hearing your reply i am not sure your asking whats best over all but most effective in combat. If what your really asking is the later then i would have to tip it in favour of the FNX more bullets faster fire rate = more damage dealt in a short space of time BUT its not a huge step above the 357 but it is alot harder to find ammo for WAY harder to use due to having to find mags for . Best over all is the 357 why because common ammo ( although i actually find more .308 than .357) it does not require a mag so has the ease of use factor , has very effective iron sights( well i like them ) and it gives you the fire power to take 2 guys down very quickly if skill/luck are with you. Not to mention if they add a jamming mechanic to gun play then the reliability of the 357 will make it shine even more..... Call me crazy i have become quite a fan of the repeater magnum combo ,and as i am still finding tons of 357 ammo it makes it viable (although i still like the blaze and the sks but sks ammo is rare now and the blaze having 2 bullets is less or more effective depending on the situation i am in ( if that makes sense)

Agree(but add in a harsh weight stamina system aswell), these sort of changes for me personally are more important than vehicles (but thats just me i realize ill be spending far more time on foot than i will in a vehicle and believe these sort of changes will have a large positive effect on the game.

Saying fuck you to the idea of a straight PvP sandbox game was one of the main reasons they changed tack on what the SA was going to be and instead of releasing a polished version of the mod they started over to create the game rocket had wanted(well as close as they can within limitations). But if yopu havent gotten the idea by now when every patch has slowly added more and more survival mechanics and persistence IS being brought in to heavily drop the number of guns ( of everything really ) that you will easily be able to find on the coast to force you to try to survive which means moving inland. Then you have a rude aweakening coming LOL i can smell alot more posts in the this is bull shit i want my money back thread in the next few months... But hey you will always be able to pvp nothing will stop that and they dont want to but the idea is to make it hard to survive not to make it BF on the coast..

Hmm ok just a quick question for any who have died combat logging or just logging out in general when you turn dayz back on after this does no character apear in the menu screen at all.. I ask because although i didnt combat log i did log out in a less than safe area ( the forrest north west of vybor near NWAF. My character apeared in menu when i logged out of game . But there was none when i just started the game then and yes i got default character.. Not upset of dying lol actually needed a new start had just hit 40 hours alive time for a change of clothes was just wondering is that how it seems or did i get a character wipe ?? either way is fine there is no RAGE i am dead or i am deleted just wishing to know which it was in people experience which i have none (first death or wipe) since the log out timer was added... Thanks in advance for your information...
