I think that people sometimes post things like this (I haven't read that particular thread) to create a bit of controversy and bait more people in getting involved into the argument. I personally really dislike when people start making inflammatory and negative comments just to get a bit more attention.

Come on now you could say that for every suggestion topic that is on the forums. I put this poll up as it was a VERY common theme that REPEATEDLY Came up in other threads, and I was interested in what people thought about it. What the dev's do with the all information on the forum is their business.

While this is true, you couldn't say the community can't impact design decisions because otherwise why would he want so much community involvement? You couldn't convince me that what the community wants doesn't effect at least some of the decisions the develop team make. Possibly, just an example, we wont really know for sure until other items are added and the game is fully released.

Here is my attempt to give one example sacrificing realism for balance. Ok at the moment there are 3 bags available in the standalone, a small brightly colored civilian backpack (smallest), a large colored hikers pack (largest), and a hunters backpack which is earthy colored (medium). The lets leave the first bag out as it arguably the least desirable bright, stands out and has the least room. The between the other two bags you get a choice one is larger and the other is more camouflaged... Now I would argue that realistically you would be able to find a military bag just as large and being camouflaged in military area's however this is not in the game to give a choice and some balance to gameplay leaving a best bag out of options.

Agreed I will add another option.

Haha yeah I know what you mean, I couldn't think of another way to put it though... Still I think that people understand what I am trying to get at here.

I would like to clarify what some people are talking about when they are saying things like you can easily make a ghillie out of foliage, I believe this is referring to a camouflage technique weaving and tieing foliage to your back and helmet such as the Japanese were famous for during WW2 not the traditional ghillie suit others are thinking of. And they would be correct saying you could do this by simply using foliage an string... Although I don't like this as my idea was make getting camo ghillie suits harder to attain not easier

Ha do your research? You look at a suit made by a sniper to fit his specific environment and one bought at a wall mart and tell me which one is superior?

How about having to drag/carry you backpack along in a drag-bag?

If the game did end up having two different variants, one in the loot table and one craft-able, the ghillie that spawns should be a generic hunting one like you say and the craft-able one being far superior for two reasons; 1 for realism, 2 to reward players who went the extra effort to craft their own.

Remember cars and tents/bases will come into the game eventually so you could build up your supplies using these as storage.

I was thinking that myself, maybe you could wear it unfinished and then take it off and add to it once you've found more items...

I hope .50 cal snipers never find their way into this game, all other military snipers they add should be extremely rare

Hopefully you have to craft your own gillie suit out of rare items, otherwise people will just server hop and everyone will have them..

Are tents and or base building going implemented at some stage?

Can anyone give me an update about the DDos attacks? Are they still happening? Or are thy sorted?

Just a thought... It maybe possible that the reason they don't have the respawn enabled is because of the extra stress this places in the server. The respawn button usually doesn't work at the moment (apparently due to high levels of players trying to respawn at the same time) so if they unlocked it it probably wouldn't even work anyway...

Agree on the whole less military more civilian trend. I want a mixture that is balanced where there is no "best gun" similar to the current choice between nosing and m4, do I want more range and accuracy or do I want a high fire rate closer quarters weapon

Interesting idea's, in my opinion probably taking it a bit too far. I agree that some humanity mechanic would be great but in the end I just want a fun game not an ultra realistic simulation. I don't kos all the time I mostly try to help Bambi's once I'm kitted but getting in firefights is fun can you imagine how boring the game would be if everyone just worked together?

Just had my full kit character reset myself are the DDos attacks still happening or did I just experience the bug

Post-processing blurs your vision to give the effect of things coming into focus when you look at them, so turn that right down and also use fxaa on normal not smaa. This will give you a crisper image with less blur.

Just logged out, then logged back into the same server and I lost my character who had full kit, is the ddos attacks still happening? Or was it just bugged?

I have a 7970 ghz and in a number of games turning the games video settings right down can actually negatively impact the fps, have you tried it on high settings too? Also make sure in CCC that your on balanced setting for gaming.

Make sure "ambient occlusion" is off, this setting will dramatically reduce your fps, its a nice feature but not worth 20 frames

Yep for sure, have also been thinking about this
