TEST_SUBJECT_83

This is DayZ...you can play however you want. Get over it people, KOS will ALWAYS be in DayZ. Plus without that fear, it would be boring.

I may agree with that, but you are allowed to be down right cold in DayZ. There is no right or wrong way to play DayZ. I to think to myself when I get sniped as a fresh spawn' "man that guys a fucking douche for killing me with no weapons and no threat to him" But that's DayZ, you have the choice to be whatever kind of player you want. Honestly, without that fear of being KOS at any moment. DayZ wouldn't be half as fun to play.

I agree with you! I say be patient because I know Dean and everyone else involved want to see your creations more than anyone, they just need time to get there shit together before they can hand it over. Im sure you understand. I myself can't wait for new maps to start rolling in! Mods keep games alive for years longer than they would otherwise. DayZ might be the exception, being such an amazing game already, but mods can only make it better.

Hand radios work as of the latest patch. Once you put a battery in them you can change it to a certain frequency (there us a lot to choose from) Once you and your buddies all have radios tuned to the same frequency, then you just press < and > to change it to that frequency. It works just like direct chat. That way you dont have to hotkey it and stop to talk to someone. It just works the same way TS or in game chat. IMO, I would like TS, Skype or any outside communication to be banned somehow from the game now that hand radios work so well. As authentic as DayZ is, IMO outside communication is the same as cranking up your gamma at night or using 3PP. (Don't get you panties in a bunch, it's just my opinion.)

Honestly I think most of the animations are too clunky and look awful. Until the animations can look good and seem authentic, I would rather have a bar that fills up slowly that represents the time it takes to do something. For example, if you wanted to change clothes you drag over a new pair of pants, and instead of you changing instantly a bar would fill up while you hear the sound of clothing rustle. Or instead of a bar we could have your arms flail around your body? Either way, it's still early and I can guarantee there is something on the to do list that involves animations. So I'm not to worried at the moment.

As long as you can turn that SHIT off! Otherwise no way. The music the mod had is terrible and horribly distracting. How are you supposed to listen for footsteps 20 ft away when you have that crap in the background?

Thanks for such a detailed response! I guess your right about the diving mechanic. Maybe you could only dive when a vehicle is in front of you?

I honestly would much rather there be no message at all. Just blackness. I'm sure people can figure it out without "you are dead" on the screen.

There are ALWAYS daytime servers buddy!

Why on earth would you clean a "pristine" weapon?

Just be patient.

I have died from running up stairs so many times it's ridiculous. Don't sprint up stairs, ever!

DayZ to someone that doesn't RP and or realize how to survive properly. Run around in the open, get shot. Re-spawn, run around, find a gun, get excited to shoot some zombies?...get sniped while making all sorts of noise with said gun. Re-spawn, run some more, see another player, walk up to say hi and see if they wa....BAM!, dead again. Rage quit then immediately come on the forums to bitch about how this game is broken, when they have no idea how to actually play it. People KOS because they can see you. Stay crouched and off the beaten path while in Elecro, Berezino, and Cherno. Or anywhere for that matter. Expect to engage in combat when venturing inside military locations. Play in first person servers so people dont see you when you behind shit. (personal preference) Do not trust anyone. This is SURVIVAL, not happy fun time.

Just un-fav the same way you faved it. Write down the name of your server and always join that one. People have to actually stick to there servers now Not nearly as much server hopping now because of it. The "Play" option needs to be fixed, so we can just hit play and be back in the same server. Until then just favorite it and write it down.

Definitly not as abundent post patch especially since the tent spawns are currently broken. ATC towers, barracks,and bunkers. Thats about it. Even though the tents dont spawn at the moment, the two story camo huts that are next to the back entrance of NW still spawn them.

Piano buildings. Red brick building with blue stripe around the middle, sitting on the top of the stairs. Two story buildings that your footsteps echo in, all the way on the top floor. Cars (currently car spawns are broken) TEC buildings. Schools. Players! All which now have a chance to spawn shotguns!

If I hear anything thats out of the ordinary when it comes to weird zombie sounds, I just blame it on those damn rabbits!

Always wear pristine clothes! It can be the difference between life and death!

There is ALWAYS day servers to choose from. Before the update the MGPS servers are all daytime. MGPS servers also have a lowercase z "Dayz" while all others have an uppercase "DayZ" Post patch you can just look at the time!

Just write down the server that your using and STAY in it. I love this! This is cutting down combat logging and server hopping by a HUGE amount! before about 95% of people that I engage in CL. Now about 5% of them do! I laugh because alot of people don't know how to get fully geared without SH and CL. The only thing thats broken is the "play" option from the main menu. It doesnt bring you to the last server you played on like it's supposed to. So unless you write the name of your server down, it's kinda hard to find it again. Once thats fixed then theres no issue, IMO.

C'mon people! nighttime is supposed to be dark Have you been in the middle of the wilderness or a city with no power in the middle of the night? It is pitch black other than moonlight, which is only out on certain nights. The nights in Dayz do have moonlight. All you have to do if it's to dark for you is turn up your brightness to about 80 to 90% but leave the gamma where it's supposed to be. I leave my gamma at about 25% and my brightness at 40% during the day and about 80% at night depending on the moon. If there is a bright full moon in the sky than it usually has some moonlight, but if it's not enough than I turn the brightness up slowly until it looks good. Obviously nights need some tweaking but IMO the only thing that needs serious changing is the lack of color at night. But I feel its more than playable when you do some tweaking with the brightness....not the gamma! So until we get this: (was edited in PS by someone here:http://imgur.com/gallery/zFxih) We should just enjoy what we have, which IMO is almost perfect! other than the lack of color...but to honest there is not much visible color at night IRL. Granted it is more color than the almost all B&W nights in DayZ. DayZ is all about being authentic. Even if it pisses people off.

Damn!...Im running a GTX680m and am getting 15fps in cites and 20 to 25 everywhere else. These are my EXACT specs if anyone's interested (except I upgraded to 16gb of memory): http://www.cnet.com/laptops/msi-gt60-0ne-220us/4507-3121_7-35406334.html I feel I should be getting a steady 30fps at least, with drops around the low 20's in cites, without turning everything off or to the lowest possible setting. I know this game is a hungry beast at the moment, but a 4GB 680 should enough to not drop below 10fps regularly. Any suggestions other than this? - http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=216291078#150061 Im sure it's a driver/GPU setting thats causing some lag, and the fact that I'm a noob when it comes to PC gaming...hence me spending $2,400.00 on a laptop a year and a half ago when I could have spend half that and got something twice as powerful. Wish I had known "faceplam"

Night time is dark. The darkness is fine just the way it is.

They are useless! Only have 3 slots and you cant wear anything over it. The worst part is you cant see behind you because of the huge hood. Unless you play on 3PP then that would not effect you. Once the "new" factor runs out you'll be switching that POS out with a tac shirt in no time!
