THIS but id go even further id actually lock you out of the server on death for like 10 minutes this maybe to harsh but even now death has little meaning if you have a friend to guard your body for you DEATH should be FEARED should be AVOIDED at all costs this is a survival game is it not????

Take my beans no need to hold me up for them LOL this is a good idea in my opinion i mean the devs have gone down the path of everything being usable visible in hands why not use both of them ????? As for the door animations oh hell yes lol i have wanted this in arma for a long time (was one of my dashed hopes with arma 3 ) this and a redoing of the ladder animation is it really that hard to put a second phase to animation that once reaching the top you pull yourself onto roof rather than continue to climb an invisible ladder till your feet reach the top then blink and you have finally stepped onto roof ( sorry it kills my immersion big time specially as i am a first person type player lol .

If you read any of my posts you will get the feeling i am all for positive changes adding more to the experience making the game standout from the mod and from clone games BUT this is one field ( there are others) that i wouldnt want to see touched what makes the game intense well its the fear of dying and lossing all the gear you have gotten remove this and death has no meaning bam we are playing COD BF on a bigger map cheers for the idea but on this one i pass. LEAVE PERMA DEATH hell i say make it more costly to die..........

New spawns are great there far from military loot you cant be fully armed and reay to kill anything that moves in 5 minutes of spawning (usually with use of server hoping) forces people to explore a little get to know the map see something other than balota lol . this is a step in the right direction and well those not liking it are not liking it for the re gearing factor LOL. It also makes meeting up for first time starting friends easier your all that side of the map without a huge HUGE shooting gallery location balota catching new players un aware of how bad locations like balota are. People are still going to kill at balota just now they need a little more time to get there heck maybe on the trip there they will have a change of heart (now i am kidding myself lol )..

This seems the case i have heard people try to tell me the only progression you get is learning as a player what does what in the game well that is redundant when you can go to a wiki before even playing the game and know how to do everything and anything in game..... Im all for some sort of natural progression its realistic it adds value to life beyond gear and done right will make this game more than a COD game with 3rd person view and a large map (which most of the people not wanting the change dont use anyway cause there to busy spam killing on the coast).SO many people start thumping there chest and going thats not dayz thats not true to the mod well hello this is not a mod anymore its ,its own game now and well if you want the game just like the mod why did we buy a standalone?? Honestly if you want it to stay just like the mod why buy the game why not just play the mod cause as it stands now there is alot more in the mod the experience is far more complete in the mod currently. Here is rocket and his dev teams chance to make something an idea he had 2 years ago which hit the hype train and gained huge popularity as a death match game (glorified by youtubbers and the like) and i am pretty sure he never ment it to be played that way if he did why is he trying to add things to deter from the constant spawn loot then go shoot mentality why did he add capturing people why did he add destroying loot if you shoot it what do YOU think his intent was with such mechanics??

sadly accurate in many cases.

LO(L i just have to ask what is cannibilisim going to add to the game?? they have that in breaking point (both for arma 2 and 3 it addsa laugh when you have killed someone and another source of food ( they also allowed you to eat the zombies but needing anti virals or getting sick. Is it a nice touch yes add more more but im not sure why you hinged on that tiny idea thats been done already i find far to many pepople closed of to the possible immersion that could come with some character progression be it appearance or abilities or both done in reason many scream i dont want this to be wow (which no one wants) on the other side of the coin i dont want it to be COD with looting after thought some where in the middle magic imersion ground for me ( if that can be found)

i have suggested locking third person in just the way you describe and it seems your one of the few 3rd person players actually open to it. Again im not against 3rd person if you prefer to play that way (for perfomance issues for visuals you prefer what ever) im all for 3rd person view if it is locked to character head so you cant look down 45 degrees and shoot ya camera 10 foot in the air.

I have exactly the same problem it doesnt always happen but it often does when playing with friends and i am so desynced i cant see where they are take anything into my hands etc. Moment the right person leaves server bang everything works again but strangly i can play with the same person the next day no troubles its kinda wierd.

there would be a tiny percent of people as you described and when they die as they would most likely sooner than later they would be gone (not respawned jump a few empty servers gear up come back to a high pop server and set up sniping again . You do not need to justify your style of play if you like it have fun then by all means keep going BUT please dont post this sort of non sense its complete drival with almost no basis in fact what so ever again its your play style so keep doing it jerks got to be jerks. Hmm ill have a stab at your real out come in a zed apoc though 1 you die early hiding in your mums basement( self explanatory ) 2 you die early screaming in the streets for someone to help you 3 you get your sniper rifle (which i doubt you can find or shoot any good) and starve to death hiding in some twat place because you have killed (more likely scared off ) anyone who could would help you lol

I like the survival ideas started not to crazy about the mental degredation system lol i hope they do include more of the survival stuff as well ill hide away to the biggest section of COD BF players return to there games leaving pvp to having some reason rather than being shot at the spawn location for sport lol.(never realised surviving a zed apoc ment shooting every living thing that moved.)

Try vitamins but most likely you will need some anti biotics to fix what is troubling you (which is extremely rare to find it seems not sure what it is listed as being its rating to find but i have only ever found 3 lots of antibiotics in 40 hours play maybe i have just been unlucky lol ).

you have my beans hey rocket i hope you notice this post cause there is some great stuff in it and posted by someone who obviously trully loves the idea of the game you started.....

i understand your point we all have it so whats the big deal ? Well the deal mostly is if your play style is camping in un seeable locations you can watch for those exploring actually looting and not be seen yourself. That then makes it easy for the camping bandit to dispatch his victim so it leads to a camping style not such a big deal unless well everyone gets sick of being 3rd person camper killed and well turns around and does it themselves lol. Imagine the excitment of a server of 40 people (or more when larger ones come) all hiding in 1 spot waiting for people who will never come cause there all doing the same thing. In first person you can still hide and stalk players but they will have the chance of spotting you to were as as it stands now they dont and people exploit the mechanic it kinda splits the community into those looking for loot trying to survive and those waiting for the loot to come to them while being hidden completely due to game mechanics.

Now i am not saying that 3rd view is going to be removed ( or my prefrence it being locked to the height of the person so you cant use it as a periscope) but if it ever was why do you think this entitles you to your money back ?? Please explain why you think it does??? Because legaly speaking it doesnt you havent got a leg to stand on and that goes for people who play first saying want a refund if they dont adjust the 3rd person view this is just pointless talk and a waste of your time typing and well you know it you just want to sound dramatic to make your point (because if you dont know your not entitled to a refund merely because the game doesnt shape up the way you want then heaven help us all. Its posts like this i wish there was a remove beans button cause id be clicking it like crazy. This is thee third time i have stated fixing 3rd person is far more viable than its straight removal will they do it honjestly probably not but one can hope..

your not understanding the idea of locking the camera to head height as in it it does not raise up higher than the players head so um if you look down in this case you get view of ground around you not a periscope up in the air (lock the height not the position its in as it is now locked to a postion of the body so tilt body forward camera goes up to stay in same postion relative to the point its fixed to ..

Wait what your girlfriend plays you lucky man i wish i could get my wife to play she will play battlefieeld but not dayz

Why did you post this thread not once or twice but thrice in the same forum (not the correct place to put it nor spam it) please use the search function and post appropriatly lol . But yes it would on what exact settings that would be a guess but it will run it..

Interesting point if there are to be grenades im not against the ability to pull the pin and hold the grenade so if they kill you it drops and goes off this could be an interesting way to talk your way out of a robbery or similar close engagement. It would ruin anything held on your body with current damage of items so i actually really like the idea lol beans for you ...

no i would hold the compass left handed slight extension out on 45% from my body with my gun approriately held as to not have interference with compass they are sensitive to metal yes not that sensitive if they are then even having a gun on you would put it out and well i dont know but i have never been with aussie solider that has gotten lost using his compass this way ???

It is a little slow to pull out put away and well id like a left hand option so i dont need to put away my gun but other than those small points it works in a most realistic way ... If you find it hard to read try zooming in on it while looking at it the textures for this item are very high res( beautiful work to the man who made model and skin) and it should be easy to read (although i use a 65inch 3d led tv for my screen so i guess maybe on a small screen it is hard to read as well i havent played it on a standard sized monitor . Edit or use what mattgl said lol i didnt know that was a working option i have examined many items for a cool close look didnt realise the compass worked as intended while in examine lol learn something everyday beans for you ..

Please no BF or COD style game were i have to shoot someone with 5 or 6 bullets maybe more before getting a kill. a guy wearing a t shirt and jeans is not realistly going to survive 1 or 2 5.56 rounds plugged in him(excluding arm and other non vital hits and this is were the secondary effects would be good eg shot in leg you aint walking on it lol) or if he does he is going to be in a world of hurt needing very serious medical treatment ( not just a rag wrapped around it) i am all for secondary effects would add great realisim but dont lower damage so everyone becomes a juggernaut for the love of dayz just dont lol.

You can get them up to (maybe higher no expert) 200mhz but no frames are not limited by the screens refresh rate what the screen will actually display is limited by the refresh rate LOL i have many games i can get well over 400 fps on but again my screen will not display that many >:( So i guess in a way your right but using a external program to monitor fps will show that your pc will run the game beyond that of the monitors refresh but what you see is limited to it.

its sad that 3rd players will defend there periscope view and call it realistic and shoot down any mention of locking 3rd view to head hieght so they cant look down and put up there 10 foot high view point. Yes there is no mechanic for climbing up something to peer over it wish there was 1 cause that would be realistic to get a view and would make you able to be seen and you would get caught hanging on a wall easy pickings. Again locking 3rd person view to the exact height of players would allow them to look at there players as the huge post a few posts ago says its for looks but wouldnt allow them to exploit a flaw in arma game design. with it locked at head hieght wouldnt need different servers first and 3rd could play happily together why cause it be balanced 3rd would give slightly more peripheral view and first slightly better distance view. everyone would be happy except the 3rd person players who have gotten to rely on camping and using the periscope to kill people with no risk to themselves being seen.

Also the ones shooting down ideas because there not in the mod or not there idea of what dayz is etc its alpha but i am sure rocket has a rough idea of where he is going but at this early stage he may be interested in some ideas from the people playing it that he may not have thought of. Its an alpha now is the time to try new mechanics ideas before the game releases find what works, what doesnt balance it . Not all ideas are good granted but just cause it aint in the mod is not a good reason for it not being in the standalone... Sorry for rant ...
