This is already a hugely posted idea and well the devs know combat logging is a problem but i have a suggestion how about we dont moan and post about it in another new thread about it till we see what there solution is aye cause they have already stated its coming . Once it is here then open this discussion up does there solution work if not what would be better etc etc but for now this is a dead (and dead obvious issue)

Spoken by some one with sense already gave him beans on his post about settings because i have always found everyones rig runs an RV engine game differently setting some things lower made things worse or higher made them better lol it was one of the things i always did when getting arma was spend alot of time in settings getting it to look as good as i could without killing my frames. Ah it must be early and your asleep cause your arguement had no relation to the facts that the forum mod just pointed out. New models new map means new engine wow you are tired ITS AN RV engine is it modified yes lol there has been alot of talk about the mmo style architecture being done putting more on server than client side cpu etc this doesnt make it a new engine it has many of the great points of an d RV engine( i like playing there games hence why i have done it for so long lol ) but it still has some of the old limitations will they improve it further yes!!! Will it reach the fps lvl of other aaa titles ( although this is list as an indie game by steam ) probably not for many of the reasons already mentioned ( the scale of map the use of actual AI i mean BF4 has no AI other than scripted in campaign AI play an arma game just by placing men down in the editor and then click preview and these guys will do different things most of the time the AI works to a decent level (yes never going to match human lvl but it can surprise you as im sure zeds will eventually ) You attempt to attack my post and dribble alot of you know what when why i wasnt trashing SA or any RV engine game merely point\ing out to someone who may not know they are not likely to get the same frames as they would in games of smaller more focused scale like BF etc etc

probably from someone droping it to take an m4 lol. civilian spawn i have had tons of them places i have had the most luck finding them the orange looking building that has the stair way to an un openable dor that has the 2 rooms attached to each other the top of the office/school building and i mean the top climb ladder to very top that usually has a good spawn on it.

LOL and thats supposed to be good let me ask you ,you probably have a good rig right ( as i do and get similar fps in SA) and can get 200 plus FPS in most recent aaa games so how does that 35 translate to fps not being a problem (although i find it very playable at those frames for the RV engine 40 plus is actually very acceptable.) Oh for the guy hoping for huge optimisation i hold that hope for you to but in my heart i dont believe its going to come i have played arma games over 8 years now and people always scream optimise it (dayz is still an RV engine game like arma) and it never does it gets slightly better but it never goes inline with other AAA titles. i mean look at arma 3 they actually did alot of optmising on that and lets compare my fps ( before anyone jumps me you cant compare what the games do im just pointing out the fps as i know the games dont compare in what they do ) arma 3 mostly maxed settings with view set to 4km object to 3.6km frames on altis 58 on stratis 70 odd now battlefield 4 i wont do each map but at max settings everything i get between 184 and 260 fps. My rig haswell [email protected] ghz 16 gig ram 1 gtx titan .. I have my fingers crossed for you but if they havent been able to optimise the engine in 8 years im begining to believe they cant or wont in the year or so before SA goes gold.....

Come on man bad mojo is right that is absurd and you know it many parts of the game require 1st person the compass scopes hell pretty much any fighting/firing of guns. Even the way loot is hidden requires it (well to get everything it does) i like the fact so many guys loot 3rd view yes it means they can spot the majority of stuff real quick and move on but they always leave the hidden stuff (under beds etc) Anyone with a hint of inteligence knows you need 1st person view at many points i doubt many would ask for its removal well except the gentleman here who is just trying to troll you and get a rise by saying they could remove 1st view..

LOL there have been times when i wished my killer(if there was one) to reply to me i have had a couple strange deaths and i sat talking hoping for a reply on if it was a bug that killed me or a player(we are testing this an alpha lol ). But yes when the game is complete i believe death /unconcious means you no longer hear or can speak in game direct imo...

I am happy to see any other idea that makes the game have less exploits it wont killl my immersion when i am in first person playing with a person in 3rd ( i do my friend hates 1st always uses 3rd so when i play with him i play 3pp on when i dont i play 3pp off servers) i have to ask you find that the people apearing disapering ( in the way that when you couldnt see them there not there) but you find it immersive to be able to see them when your standing behind a 7 foot wall?? immersion has many factors to it but realisim is a key factor to many people (not all) but Dayz was intended to be the anti game a hardcore game with no hand holding (rockets words not mine slighytly paraphrased) and not being able to see something you cant well see from where your standing laying crouching is um realistic. Other possibilities might be to lock the camera to head height so looking down doesnt force the camera up but this will indeed feel awkward to a person who is use to playing 3pp as it stands now no solution will be perfect but some will be better than others.

Agree on the gun disagree on your thread 1 there is a thread for gun suggestions try using search that might actually make you special 2 the title i DEMAND hmm this just comes of self entitled ( again even though there is nothing wrong with the gun suggestion) if i was a developer looking at suggestions id just pass straight over this one without even giving it a look at all...........

The topic shouldnt really be to remove 3rd view it should really be how to fix it. I have already posted the video of a very effective method for making 3rd view no more advantagous than 1st. I play 1st i find it more immersive but i do not want to force anyone else to play my way because it is what i prefer i want to play on full healthy servers be it with 1st or 3rd view players if and when the play field is evened out . The LOS (line of sight) video i posted from the 2017 mod ( a dayz varraition being done for arma 3) is a near perfect solution the 3rd view people still have there view and the 1st view players are not disadvantaged by it lol . Although what dismays me is some 3rd view players shot that down as i dont like it no reason behind it just doesnt look right ( it looks exactly as it does now just zombies and players you couldnt see from your position do not get rendered on the screen. and for those guys its obvious your play style relies on hiding and using the 3rd view periscope to get kills (nothing will ever change your way ) Everyone else go back watch that video and realise life aint black or white but shades of grey ( comprimise finding a solution to a problem rather than scraping what is in many peoples eyes a needed feature). I want to go back to killing any threat to me in the game (or talking to ones i think are less of a threat which gets me killed alot lol ) be it zed or 1st view or 3rd view players lol ...

Im sorry if that didnt work for you cause it worked for me mate as for the dick part the first thing ya said was those servers are european i get bad ping (when i never suggested you stay playing there just to get a new character) which kinda sounded like you never even tried it at all but you say you have and that didnt work you say you have tried contacting server admins (there is no global chat etc etc ) well many servers post up there ts3 server info to contact them perhaps try logging into one of those. 11 days of trying and you want help how about you actually post everything you have tried might save time of people making suggestions you have tried( although honestly i dont believe alot of your original story based on some of your replies could be wrong you might just be acting like a dick cause your frustrated??? Ps your actual question was answered if you buy another copy on an alt steam account it will give new character people just tried to save ya 30 bucks more fool us for trying aye mate just spend another 30 and keep on rolling if ya feel thats your only recourse......

Im sure some one has already mentioned this somewhere in this thread but they could just take a look at how the 2017 mod for arma 3 guys have done a LOS script for third person it will not render anything your character cant see (by simply checking what he could see from the first person view. As developers i am sure they could do a much better job than a couple modders did aye ( and there work is awesome ) then bang no need to have seperate servers to play on the 3rd person view no longer has any exploitable mechanics ( ya can still lift ya camera up and swing it around as always just it doesnt render anything you couldnt actually see. PS would love if they did this secretly without telling people it be such a laugh to know all those who enjoy hiding in impossible to see locations and using the camera to get a full (nearly ) 360 view of anything moving would be sitting camping for nothing cause people could walk right past there hidden location and the camper would never see them ( as again it only renders what they could see by checking what it sees in first person. PPS 2017 and breaking point are awesome dayz mods for arma 3 now..

do you then not get a fresh character when you then deselect the development build do ya little download to be back on the stable normal build cause thats exactly how i got out of a similar predicament ( was stuck in wall but would not starve or dehydrate. But hey ya not willing to try and you say getting a second copy will benefit your friend so why not just do it (id call that more money than sense but what do i know right lol )

I could be wrong but i thought one of the great inovations rocket mentioned during development was putting zombies server side for the very reason they could add more without straining client side cpu (your average gpu now days will handle alot more than dayz is throwing if the cpu aint bottlenecked. I want random radio calls (when walkie talkies work ) perhaps broadcasting a location ya know we have the cure ya da ya da could be trap could be source of good loot could be just a over run with horde of zeds... Bad weather would be nice some snow driving you inside to keep warm (well unless you have that very rare fluffy jacket thing gloves etc etc a fire you get the picture.

Go to your game in steam open properties then the betas tab and opt into the development build when you log into a development buid server you will have a fresh spawn ...

i hope for lots of optimisation but i honestly dont expect much to be done in this field realisticly. I have been playing arma for a little over 8 years now and one of the biggest cries every release is optimisation of the RV engine and well very little has actually been done in the field( still hope they will dont get me wrong) Its a detailed engine and it is hit and miss on performance with it some guys with lesser rigs get better fps than me some with better rigs get worse fps than me. Haswell 4770 @4.5 ghz 16 gig ram 1 gtx titan settings mostly very high (clouds disabled as they dont lower my fps but the do seem to cause me sudden fps spikes) frames i get 30 to 35 in cities and up to 80 in wilderness just clicking to change everything to lowest possible setting fps in cities 35 to 40 fps in woods 90 or so ( settings can be a pain in the RV engine sometimes setting things higher gains you fps as well it will take it from being cpu controlled(rendering) to putting it on your GPU so all i can say is spend alot of time in settings while having fps displayed (be it with fraps or game booster what ever you have that measures fps) and adjust them all watching your fps and go with the best settings you can get for yourself in visuals while holding a decnt fps.

Im more interested in how servers which are all ment to be public yet i still find servers that boot anyone who isnt part of there group (when private servers come then they can do this lol ) i mean i have even found servers that put this in there name the last one was cwr/c private server join and you will be kicked. They all agreed to the rules which is currently public servers why do they now make them private ones for just there clan are they playing PVE or more likely gearing up to hit public servers as a clan and pvp the place up while loaded with gear??

I believe it is one of the ways they are artificially trying to encourage team play rather than solo KOS does it work not really but i believe thats the point (even though as you state its not realistic well unless your unconcious that is lol ) saline should help far less than it does and it should wear off its a stop gap for the bodies natural healing and should be in game to something to tide you over till eating drinking and time does the real healing. Perhaps some ill affects should be added to saline as in reduced running ability blured vision when looking down gun to simulate hard to concentrate when ya wounded as hell just been given saline to help you heal (but as it stands now ya right and ready to rock with a fully fit player....

KOS will and should always be in the game but it is not the object of the game (well it is if you wish it to be we all play differently). My only gripe with KOS is when everyone starts to do it gone is any chance of an interesting interaction hell get the jump on the guy you spot first postion yourself so you got the shot instantly if he/she goes you make contact tell them dont turn around ( if they do shoot) this does require watching them for a while to see if they have friends (which is exciting in its own right lol ) Now you have the chance to talk to them get a feel for what they are doing (they may lie to you but again thats an interesting interaction) and go from there. This idea does not float in areas of high risk say balota most people go there to kill people or get an easy gun (most likely to kill people) in a location like that i usually shot first (although i have had some interesting tense stand offs there). Im not even against the guys going to spawn towns and running wild killing bambi but how about once you have died from doing that your next character try something different he is a different person try another tactic you may find a play style you like more than blasting in the streets some un or poorly armed guy while screaming trash in direct at them.

LOL i dont mind COD at all i prefer battlefield though but strangely when i play Dayz i actually like to play Dayz . The whole throw the kid thing in there is ment to be an insult but honestly at 40 (yes i know still playing games at 40 shock horror) it phases me little and um WOW you say you have won over a 1000s dollars playing COD mate you must be awesome can you tell me your motivation to play an indie game with no prizes?? I shouldnt even be bothering with this post as well i am off topic wnich is a violation in many forums (pretty sure this one to ) oh as for your amazing 1000s win in COD you got any proof personally if i was that good and liked to tell people as you are now id have a picture in my sig with proof (ps 1000s dollars oh my impressive i own my own moderatly small buisness supplying to the minning industry security fencing average contract is worth over a quater of a million dollars but that doesnt in anyway make me an authority on dayz how it should or shouldnt be played and what or wont happen with the game.. Real life time to return to it for me cause there is far to many egos around here based on what LOL. discuss the game gentlemen..

Again have my beans LOL please take note of a person who does not agree with the OP but can do it reasonably.. No one said the OP.s idea was the best or it would be implemented merely expressing opinions a good retort has an alternative answer or why it wont work ( and i mean beyond i wants my stuff to kill so go play pve if you dont agree with me mentaliy.) Put your ideas of what will work or why it wont work (but think on those reasons making them all about your own playstyle aint going to work as viable response but most importantly drop the insults (im guilty of this at times passion gets the better specially when so many are letting fly with retard kid etc etc you feel the need to do this then take a step away from the topic for a while cause you aint helping anyone .. There is no 100% any idea will or wont be put in till the devs do or dont put it in so again enough of its bullshit never going to happen posts ( you may be right in the long run but you may also be wrong only time will tell stating something as fact doesnt make it so till it is fact !!!!

Who forces you to play on a bad server ??? you dont like a server find a new one you do like and when you have found it stick to it cause thats where your gear is not such a complex idea (its been suggested before including im sure rocket said something of the sort in regards to private hives and first and third person servers.). The biggest hate people have against this usually is finding loot easily and avoiding night time play and if that is your complaints then wait for your 24/7 daytime server with 1000s vehicles etc etc(which will be done and will have server specific hive for characters to stop you jumping to proper servers with ill gotten loot to grief players a favorite pass time of many players.

Im of the mind that players avatars should be locked to a server lol im mean aint i but hey it completely negates server hoping and for all those but i want to play with a friend on another server wel what stops you nothing except you have to start again nothing wrong with that your other character still alive and well on his home server. Yes there may be tech problems with such an idea but hey just stating my prefrence not claiming it the cure for all lol

yeah like this guy (well what i think he is thinking ) at this point in the game if people were giving true answers lol there would be very little variation in answers as well there is currently very few weapons (maybe melee but honestly not many people have a prefrence past the fire axe lol would love to see some swords etc that fit in the same level as axe for some variation in this..

bingo i like it . beans for you
