Not an option that would be used to much id imagine except maybe for those trying to get a better spwan point LOL but hey it might be cool

So as the title implies anyone tried Dayz in 3d. I know did was just interested to see how it went and i was quite surprised. Even though nvidea doesnt have a rating for it it works rather well apart from 2 smalll flaws the occasional shadow makes your screen flicker or edge black and well my frames go from 35 in city to 24 lol. Most impressive was how the inventory looks i mean they added 3d models to inventory and it realy shines in 3d with the tool tip version of gear really sticking out of the screen hell i even found melee easier in 3d as it seemed to give much better depth perception for where the axe will hit. All in all it was pretty cool wouldnt use it often personally hard on the eyes specially the amounts i play but definately cool . Wondering did the devs go for 3d play intergration or is it just a happy coincedence with using old school full 3d models for everything rather than alot of tricks to make it appear as 3d world on a 2d monitor???

Night looting is great low numbers i just pull out my gas lantern turn it on then put it back in pack and bam i have 10 to 15 feet around me lit up nicely very easy to see loot in buildings as the light fills the room rather than shines through it like the torch does. I no longer fear the KOSer as they havee left for the night looking for another day server to do there grief work lol .

Ok well lets talk combat why on earth would you put dice roll in combat ???? the game is built on an engine designed for mil simualtion lol never would you touch max health how steady your shot is merely skills that effect getting to perfect as perfect is now from respawn and looting a mil base right off the bat . I dont want to turn this into WOW come on man i hope you know cause your responses seem to indicate that . The use of a junkie and being the lowest human factor in my mind actually strengthens my case about being able to do iv and such from the begining, your thinking what he is crazy but you know why they can do a needle so well even while waisted PRACTICE. Most start there journey down this path with help or having watched i havent done that and id be nervous as hell with a massive wound on some one i knew trying to bandage them up and then stick a iv blood bag on them . but the second time i did it id be alot more comfortable till id been doing it for a few times then it would be as it is now interms of it working to he level of equipment im using ( Its ment to be a survival game i want to make it harder to and more rewarding for well surviving) Ill bow to yes death maybe to harsh a penalty perhaps make the worst a fail can do is a complete nothing need to bag again or the infection depending on how hard you want to make it . Im talking hidden skills with the base line being harder than it is now to make people actually stop for 2 seconds and play like there life ment something it wont stop KOS or PvP it may lessen them a little not because it will stop players who want to do that do that, it will just mean they will die quicker from wounds etc until they been around a while and then they may even start cherishing there lives a little more (there will still be plenty of shooting it out with players) Any of these sort of ideas would have to be tested for balance it is a pre alpha release 1 year or more to beta . I just see the only other way of making it harderr is totally dropping loot and people complain alot about no loot (its to easy at moment but then zombies aint really in it much yet ). There have been a few good ideas for making your character life worth something beyond what you loot not just mine im willing in alpha to test many of them i just dont want to leave it with all about the loot and a mad dash to get geared up then kill anyone who moves its a waste in my mind. i want to some thrill of will i die but a reason to actually interact with some one i dont know and will they shoot me maybe. Yes i want to grow a beard for bragging rights and proof i have been around a while and valuable to a bandit who may decide to spare me if i do something he cant like cure his bloody sickness from getting from drinking un pure water (he can still cap me afterwards if he wants who knows ) Its just an idea im sure rocket has his own he has made it an MMO Survival game set in a zed apoc and well no one cares about surviving much just killing( just a feeling i get when playing)

Found a note on a dead guy was sort of a suicide note and from what he was saying he was sick starving etc added a real human immersive moment for me (ps i didnt loot anymore of his stuff after that was worried cause he said he was sick didnt want to catch it lol.

LOL more of anything imersive is great if you want to read you have it if you want to KOS how much easier would it be if someone is reading a book its win win so why rag on it i say more cool add ons not less so pvp KOS is all there is ......

your not going to live long ?? depends on your definition of long does having one character since after the wipe consitute living long when considering 4 hours a day play ?? With some character progression (again not visible no skill trees to see to grind skills just a natural getting slightly better as you do normal things again starting from a negative now anyone can bag if they have right blood) you might actually value your life die less be less likely to seek out pvp any chance you get cause your loss is now that much bigger. It wont stop pvp or KOS but will make it more dangerous risk reward just got bigger ( the risk got bigger the reward didnt ) think about your actions care about surviving not ah well spawn again ill be geared in under an hour lets kill anyone i see LOL. I just see the resent against such an idea and can only think thats because people like to constantly pvp and its easy to respawn and wouldnt if it ment lossing more than they could get back in an hour by hitting a mil base. I want PvP i want even the odd crazy KOSer adds to the flavour (not when everyone is doing it)

Good sentiment there but the other side of the coin is many people think your looking at it the wrong way. I have read many of your posts and have seen you want realisim which is strange because in real life there is a broad type and i hate to call it that but a skill tree i dont spawn into life and have all the skills i need to do what i want i dont go hey today im a doctor i can blood bag anyone with no risk involved skills are learnt from doing things (or training which hard to simulate in game). With things like this even rocket wants to make systems like medical more complicated well one simple way is a broad skill tree but one would start it from a negative (again ill use medical and blood bagging as an example) the first time i blood bag i have no idea what i am doing and as such have say a 50%(just a random stat would need to be balanced) of stuffing it up how that stuff up relates could be along the lines of 10% death to patient due air bubble on failure 20% chance of infecting patient so he will then need to deal with illness etc insert other possible failures here. The second time you do it the chance to fail is greatly reduced and the ultra bad failure results are greatly reduced (the last guy i failed died from air bubble i know not to do that again but you still might your not a doctor nurse etc) and this continues till chance of failure (which should always be there) and eventually you get a very small chance of failure but now also do it slightly (and i mean slighlty) faster or even slightly more effective(can drain blood with less blood removed from donor and slightly more given to patient. Insert this idea into many game mechanics bang your character has more value than just his loot and do none of this in a visible way no visible skill tree now going hey i am now lvl2 what ever what ever you dont know this you just know hmm i seem to do this with alot less stuff ups now. Presto realisim value to life no grinding for skills greatly as the cheap reward of seeing your lvl what ever is not there but a deep game mechanic setting the game further apart from some cheap pvp clone with zeds thrown in ..... But you have my beans for an intelligent and non offensive post even if i dont agree with you cause adding in this with it negatives start would make the game far harder to survive heck it may even have people interact more i can see it now a new level of back stabbing eg hey mate you any good at fixing guns answer yes been doing guns for ages (lies never worked on gun) ill fix it for you usues gun breaks it in attempt to repair LOL oh sorry mate shite happens...

strange i am getting the same error and i use sweetfx in arma2 and 3 strange it crashes this when its on the same engine( modified version but it still an RV engine)

I noticed this to straight away the zoom while sighted is now automatic and comparable to Arma2's where as the standard view zoom is far stronger than it ever was in arma( i never played all the different dayz mods did any of them increase zoom greatly?? As for OP maybe its just me but i find that it still is much more accurate to aim fire rather than hip fire(its not really hip firing as it is raised to a shouldered position but i know what ya mean ). Although hip firing is not bad and more effective when speed of movement to hit multiple targets is concerned(again maybe thats just me havent measured it quantifiably just the general feel )

Hey i actually said in my post that i was one of the mentally challenged people to ( have been guilty of some serious rants on other forums so i mostly avoid doing it LOL. Hey combat logging is bad ( oh by the way i thought by ban you ment perm ban not timed ban). but hey being able to see perfecftly clear in a almost pitch black night like its day time is a god like ability (when you dont have night vision or thermal gear ) so honestly nope there just as bad as each other giving the cheating player the advantage over the player choosing not to cheat.. How do you know 90% of people use it honestly that is just your cheap way of justifying your cheating while you slam some one elses way of cheating lol Cheating is Cheating there is no valid way to justify it specially when your trying to sound hardcore with your if you log well maybe DayZ aint the game for you LOL I dont log (until i am done playing and that isnt during combat lol i also dont turn my gama brightness up to cheat so um hey if you need to cheat what was it you said oh yeah maybe Dayz aint the game for you ( but i care little if you play and cheat doesnt bother me at all but it is a massive double standard of you . EDIT oh there have been some good ideas in these forums though for some problems like ghosting and Cl'ing server specific characters stops ghosting(limits it alot nothing stops these things completely) and log out timer does alot to stop combat logging (if they can make alt, f4 result in your body/character stay for the log out timer there are other ways around some of these problems. ( the gama brightness one is almost impossible though as remove the game option hurts people with bad monitors that need a little brightening and doesnt stop people doing the same thing with there monitor(although the effect isnt as good and clear as in game option ....

Again i do not advocate KOS but lets get real here your a new spawn great not much of a physical threat (although you proved that wrong by almost tagging them all) But you in a high value loot area (usually stripped bare ) your a threat to them finding high value loot there and in super close proximity so are a threat punches work to well in many cases , so no if buts maybes i would shoot you to and not feel bad about it at all. Bad luck in a bad spot you say if they want a death match why not go up north maybe they were going to maybe they were fresh to and were looking for gear ammo to head up north to tag some worthy foes. You got unlucky then went back for more WHAT is your complaint they killed you when it is viable and as i stated preferable to even non KOS players in that situation screaming friendly means shit i have been shot/stabbed/punched before by guys calling friendly you should have turned run at top speed for cover not moved in going hey friendly sorry just no( they may have been asshats they may have been reasonable players but in the situation you were in most of the time your going to get shot!

why must they remove those barracks/tents away i find it almost funny people complaining abot KOS in a place like that everyone knows it has good loot and is easy to get to as such it has bandits and surviours who kill on sight as well the pure KOSers want the kill the survivour wants the guns there and if some one esle gets them then you have none. When you go into a place like that you have to expect being shot, risk reward everyone asks for it and well balota ia prime example of just that. (im not advocating KOS) but honestly in some situations it is infact the proper play style and at balota is one of those. I give you points for bravey and then strip them away for stupidity come on unarmed charging back to kill 2 armed guys 1 your a different person old you just died you respawn new person 2 tell me honestly in a real life situation you would charge armed men with just your fists or even an axe (maybe im a coward but i would have moved away from the spot lived to fight another day when odds better placed or a more suitable spot where they may (doubtfull) be more inclined to talk or just walk by (although once you have back pack your a target to people seeking loot and always a target for pure KOS players.

Just as likely to be a a low pop server at night gama up player or maybe just a player who has lived since the character wipe like me i have alot of loot not that much but i am packing 4 double clips(240 rounds) 1 40 round clip 2 30 round clips a medical bag and 2 protector cases with things like scopes etc in for saftey and i dont server hop (not since i found server doing night and day i like both just not all of one. All i do is move of the coast alot of great loot spots inland and they were at one of the best then maybe he legit had them maybe he didnt as he was willing to so easily die but then i have to out of boredom before, i went fully geared (not as well as i am now butt pretty good) into the church at cherno to chase down 5 guys who were alll but one armed( he may have been armed to but just had it over shoulder hidden by his bag) I wanted to see if i could take them out using surprise to there credit they werent to surprised i got one and may have injured another but was quickly put down for my rabbid dog behaviour( not my usual play style but again was bored and wanted to test if i was any good (not that good it turns out lol) to the guys who got me enjoy the loot maybe next time ill come in talking and we can team up LOL. :beans:

I have been playing dayz the mod since july 2012) i have never joined the forum because well to be honest (and this is just an opinion ) many of the posters are inches away from mental instability have incredible lack of logic reason (get sweaped up in the passion rather than thinking and of this i am guilty to hence why i never joined posted till now). I have to reply to this one (specially as it is a pet hate of mine) so passionate about hating on people exploiting the game by combat logging and yet with your next breath you defend using another game exploit with what excuse everyone else does it why should i be disadvantaged. I have to ask if everyone does it and everyone(18/20 was a stat thrown in ficticous like many stats and techniqally not everyone lol) combat logs on you then why cant everyone log um because it is exploiting could be called cheating, if your happy using your exploit let the people who use theres use theres as well many people have KOSers shoot at them without them seeing them at all so puts them at disadvantage how is this different from what you do ?? Answer its not now again opinion here but many complaining about logging infact seem to be KOS style players forget your ban them for this ban for that attitude because your butt hurt someone robbed you of your kill or saw you at night from 3 to 400 yards in pitch black and some how managed a perfect shot in almost 0 visibilty and just wait for the devs to implement there systems then discuss how they did how it can be improved cause as it stands banning some one for something the game allows you to do would result in a refund of the money payed for the game(there is no disclaimer in your rights of use of the game prohibiting CLing or over zapping your gamma brightness) and it would then be simple for them to use the money to again buy the game. Chill out a little i read far to many fanatical posts in these forums WAY to many people screaming thats not dayz like they know exactly what Rocket is thinking or his plans for what Dayz is or isnt. Its a game in alpha test enjoy report and keep the raving pitch fork torch carrying mob posts to yourself(sorry this aint all about this one post but many things i have read in these forums.)
