I like this idea completely! :D I've so far seen all friendly players use the gestures, such as salute. So, I think you just have to stop being a bandit to appreciate it! xD

It's basically understood that the characters in game are all proficient with their weaponry. It would be a boring game otherwise.

3rd person is in the game to give the natural range of view you would have in real life, now it can be abused of course, but if you are in first person, you lose a range of view.

Did not find this doing a simple forum search. Did a bit of digging: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/153994-early-access-important-information-known-issues/ And then the quote I'm talking about here: Game Exploits* Combat logging protection not workingCurrently many of our features such as queued loading, combat logging timeout, etc... have been disabled as there is the possibility that they will cause additional strain on the central server. Once we know that we can handle the load we will begin implementing these. We do expect this will be a long process, and we'll be working with the community to identify effective ways to deal with this. In the meantime, it is going to be

Game is lots of fun if you are used to early game play style, already I see great direction in the game, and a lot of things will take some time to get better, but the more you play and are involved, the more the game may be tailored to you! It's definitely dependent on how much you love DayZ! :D

Because it's a game, and he is playing it how he wants? I almost NEVER KoS. Only in very rare occasions do I do so, like getting tired of being KoS'd as a bambi. I see nothing wrong with the banditry, because it would be boring without it. Especially as a bambi.

That is correct we are testing the game. I don't understand your tone very well, but part of testing is telling the devs what you want to see with the game, to help them lay out what needs to be done first. So, my goal is to try and let them know that the log out greatly affects game play (Even though they are already aware of this), and to maybe talk about ways of fixing these game breaking flaws. I in no way am bashing DayZ Standalone, I absolutely love the game.

I agree that the above mentioned time was too long, but the log in delay time should be balanced so that you won't be mauled by a zombie before you can do anything simply logging in for the first time. I definitely see the point with log in timers not being the best idea, but I wouldn't mind them being instated, but definitely log out timers are needed.

I like some of what your saying, but I think not being able to move while logging in for more than 5 seconds is a bit ridiculous. Only since you could have had connection issues, computer issues, or something else uncontrollable. I simply want them to slap on a 6-10 second log out delay for the time being. It shouldn't be too hard to code it in, so that's why I want to push them to do it. I trust these devs to take care of it, it's just that I believe this could have a quick fix implemented, which would make the game FREAKING amazing to me, and would make me much happier! :D

That is correct, and not what I'm talking about. I am actually not mad about NOT getting loot. I am mad because this person logged out, THEN BACK IN, both instant on his end, which ended up getting HIM the kill, when I worked hard to keep a dominant position. I don't mind losing out on loot, I generally don't even kill people unless they are shooting at me first.

Hey all, I've been a huge fan of DayZ mod for a while, but gave up on the mod due to game affecting bugs, such as glitchy zombies and frustrating inventory bugs. So far, stand alone has been a great experience, I love the character interactions and the mechanics (Minus some bugs due to alpha), but there is one main concern I have... Battle logging. It is quite possibly the most immersion breaking thing this game has to offer. If you have not encountered this or do not believe it to be a serious issue, let me explain an instance this affected me personally: I spawned in Chernogorsk, ran through a bunch of towns on my way to the military base north of Kamenka, and hit balota airfield on the way. I was held up twice (I did not battle log, in fact I wanted to test it during the first interaction, but figured that would ruin both my experience and the guys holding me up). I ran back through the towns I had once passed with my own m4, fully equipped with supressor and prestine equipment, but no magazine, and held up a few people. I came across another person with a gun, I held them up and told them with a single round chambered in my gun, and told them to drop their backpack, so I can check it. He immediately battle logs. Now, this wouldn't be so bad if he just left, however he ended up logging back in behind me, so I spun around and fired a single shot from afar at him and hit him, but he ended up escaping. I pulled out my axe and chased him (Which brings up the issue with using melee inside a building, but this does not bother me anywhere near how much battle logging does) into a building where he pulled out his pistol and proceeded to dump lead into my now lifeless body. I lost about 6 hours worth of gear that I had kept safe, because this guy has the ability to instantly quit and rejoin the game. I would like this to be heard by the devs and taken care of. I hope there are other players who agree and if you do, please speak up! Side Note: I understand this is in Alpha and am enjoying this game thoroughly, so please let's keep the tone light and looking to the future, not just complaining about bugs. Do remember this is in the "player discussion" section.

No that's more than understandable. I did not know that Rocket had said this. Thank you for the input! :D The point of game forums is to talk about the game... I am simply stating where I would like to see this game go. If you read the end bit, I said that I understand that this is Alpha, but that this is my main issue and would like this to be higher priority than fixing somethings such as melee or movement, or even before adding vehicles. The point is to let the devs know that this is affecting game play, and if enough people feel the same way, they will be more likely to look into fixing battle logging before looking into something like adding a sniper rifle. I am simply trying to let the devs know that I love their game enough to spend time typing on their forum to help them better the game. If they didn't know about it, I would like them to. If they already know about it, I would like them to realize that it's important to fix.
