Need to be able to turn up the hood first, or at least have clothing items with the hood up. cheeki breeki iv damke!

5.56 and 7.62x51 are in abundance. 7.62x39 however is goddamn rare.

Only real positive things about 3pp i can think of is like svisketyggeren mentioned, you don't have to listen to the panting and wheezing. And you get to look at your character?

Cooking sets actually do spawn a lot. Portable gas stoves are spawning at an alarming rate it's the frying pan that's scarce. Also it's not hard to cook using nature. Sticks + rags/paper = fireplace kit + log = ignitable fire + raw pieces of mean = cooking. But generally i agree with what you're saying. At least on experimental they should increase certain(mainly new ones) for testing purposes.

So you assume. With only 2 pages and the average response being less than 2 sentences long i did read the whole thread and saw that comment you quoted and still conclude you're comparing apples to oranges (hence to 'really'). If DayZ really did simply require a beast computer to run i'd be holding your hand and chanting along with you. But it doesn't. it's just another game running off a faulty engine with poor performance, bad task distribution (CPU heavy) and lacking actual optimization because it's alpha. DayZ or any game that runs off this engine or a variant of it will never be what Crysis was, essentially a benchmark people used to boast how awesome their computer was. If anything the only game that'll be able to do that anytime soon will be Star Citizen when that releases(ironically it also runs on the Cryengine)

That's completely different though. Crysis "squeezed your PC into submission" because the game itself (mainly graphics) were far ahead of anything users' hardware could handle at the time. Dayz on the other hand is simply running of a pretty shitty engine known for it's bad performance AND is yet to be optimized.. So really you're comparing apples to oranges.

3 times now i'v found chickens at Vyshnoye, so it might be worth checking there. Zombies might have killed them already so you might have to look good in the grass but it's not hard to miss since they're white. proof: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=276058323 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=276058357 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=276120650

In my opinion this is one of those cases where gameplay > reality. Backpacks should be a luxury item and not something you can find pretty much anywhere. They should be an upgrade from handcrafted items and not just another option. So i think they're fine as they are if not still too common.

This right here. So i doubt Beta will be this year and hope it's still quite awhile off.

Which is great and "as it should be" It just comes down to the game being too easy and getting boring once you all that you need(most of the time guns and ammo)

Hopefully when they start cranking up the number of infected and make certain supplies a bit more rare people will be less incline to shoot as it would draw a lot of unwanted attention.

why alt-tab when you can Shift-tab and open the steam-overlay browser? thats what i do.

Yes i'm sure. I do it all the time. I'm sure you're suppose to add stones to be able to cook but that isn't how it works yet. just combine rags/piece of paper and sticks, add a log, ignite and put the meat on.

Actually it can be held off. They are still very much in the "production phase" with no real sign of leaving it anytime soon. So there will be plenty of time for it to get worked on and again, there are things that are simply far more important like the actual gameplay. if they're suggestions shouldn't this be moved to the, oh i dont know.. part of the forums that is dedicated to suggestions? http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/forum/128-suggestions/

The rocks don't do anything yet, so you don't need them for a fireplace kit yet.

Yes it does, because it isn't important. yet. The game has enough performance issues as it is. Priority needs to be on content(as in items) and features. Pretty(well ugly in apocalyptic way) looking cities can be hold off for later.

All of that comes down to: will get done at some point.

The new one looks really awkward.. he leans way too far forward and the way you move your arms seems a bit... special...

You are indeed wrong. On the last live stream they said that graphically it's near completion, but they're still working on some parts. And after that it still needs to be coded up and animated. So we won't be seeing this till around the end of this year or nearly next year.

The edge isn't narrow. At least not as narrow as a blade, just like a letter openers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_knife Regardless, i agree that you should still be able to cut with it. I was really surprised/disappointed after whichever patch it was that removed its ability to cut.

On the last livestream they stated that the new renderer will not be coming this year and that it'll be somewhere near the end of Q1 next year. So no, it won't be in beta nor have many of the features planned or asked for.

Yes. PLEASE. No offence to the devs, but proper realistic weapon sounds have never really been BI's strong point. These sound amazing, but as they say in plenty of Q&As and interviews, sound is the one thing that doesn't frequently gets updated. But rather in one big go(pretty much what they said last live stream)

That isn't the one we have in-game. You're thinking of this one http://www.milsurps.com/images/imported/2009/03/UK20No207-1.jpg <--- blade while what we have in-game is this one http://picturearchive.gunauction.com/4798182719/9737849/92ebb3fa8dec1bc7c70ffae28e882722.jpg <-- spike

I was overjoyed when i heard them say that on the live stream.
