Window Licker

Most reports are that the framerate only drops out in cities and it double's once out of the city, I'd reason that there is enough power there to render in some dense bush and still get better FPS then in a city. Still there are some area's that shouldn't change, but this could be a way of encouraging players to move differently once the sound bugs are fixed.

Good idea, as right now it seems that all the citizen's where good law abiding folk, seems the only people who got locked away where the drunk soldiers. Being implemented? that would be a tricky one, being a prison it would logically have large areas of cleared land around it but that might give rise to people camping in there much the way they allegedly do at the airfields right now. Lets see how this thread runs...

please post in one of the MANY thread already covering this topic.

Again that would just add to the game I think, finding a person who's skilled enough to fly the thing? yeah those KoS players aren't going to be getting off the ground without trashing a few choppers first, if you do find a "pilot" can he actually fly? if he can, is he gonna jump in and nick off with the chopper you worked so hard to restore?

They do spawn on farms and in some houses, there's a thread dedicated to Mosin hunting that lists places people have found them. Edit: In a zombie apocalypse I'd be getting guns, food and medical supplies then finding the most fortified building I can, or finding a construction site and steal a loader so I can move freely then get as far from civilization as poss

Yes GeordieMarv that's exactly what I ment, beans Also ensure that your Microphone is the default input device, open sound recorder and try recording something and/or call the skype testing service and see if you can hear when it plays back.

Not that I know of, but idle speculation in a civil manner is always a good time.

I haven't tried TOH so I don't know what the system is like there, if it's balanced with the right amount of complexity then staying low and dipping over rises would be very dangerous, also if your lucky enough to get a chopper up and running and the pilot screw's it up I doubt they'd let them fly again for a while. The other thing to ponder is fuel, if it's a limited resource or the chopper has a small tank then flying all over the map will cause issues for the owner's, where can they get fuel? will the team need to lock down a facility to ensure a constant supply? If they do won't that cause other groups to begin camping the hillside nearby to shoot them down as they come in/out? Personally I think they should have a few choppers per server, but that opinion would change on how they where implemented, you could put 300 on a server and only one place to get fuel, that would cause a shitstorm.

Slaves or can openers, I'd like slaves

That's exactly why I suggested using the smaller choppers, they'd be vulnerable to small arms fire any player attempting to use them in the fashion you describe wouldn't last long cos you know anyone with a gun would pop a few rounds at it, forcing the pilot to take a route that has less chance of hostiles or flying dangerously low. While the vtol is an advantage it takes a bit of time to get the blades up to speed or forces the squad to leave a person in the chopper to keep it running. In addition to that having a working chopper paints a big target on you if my squad saw one land over the next rise I'd be sure to try and take it idgaf if no-one knows how to fly we'll die trying. finally and most important when your squad comes under fire and your all scrambling to get in you know someone going to do the Arnie "get to da chopper" tanks.. I'm a bit iffy on them although the 5 miles to the gallon would mean people wouldn't drive about willy nilly, in fact they'd essentially end up a base defense mechanism. Which wouldn't be so bad.

interesting, I'll report back when I try with win 8 64

I would be interested in trading for a LRS, however naming a server and location would ensure that we a both killed as every bandit and KoSer on these forums would be in line waiting to shoot us. P.M me Edit I'm on EST and am "working" today so tonight would the only time to really do it.

I haven't been playing much over the last little bit, but I was liking having other people around instead of walking past a bodies littering the ground. I have seen a couple of posts saying the cherno is virtually dead and last time I played I was clearing Z's from the area even on Bolota Airfield.

What OS are you running?

How many rounds would it take to down a military chopper? it runs the risk of "needing" to include some sort of counter, I could defiantly see light aircraft, microlight, cessna or those small farm choppers some have they would be solely for transport and you'd wanna be real careful about where your flying them. I feel that having thing like a full on choppers would mean they would be inclined to include the guns required to shoot them down. Guns are another topic but even including some big one's and making the ammo rare it would still get horded. Edit: All that being said we do have the chopper crash sites around the map so they where defiantly in the area at some stage.

Yeah it works, but "/" is a bit of an obscure key and without looking I'd never have guessed that was how to type. Also it does leave the player vulnerable while typing, hence why having a headset is key. The other thing is there is no way to test your headset in game I had mine for about a week before I found out my voice was coming thru whisper quite, they might just assume it's working. Then wondering why they are getting shot a lot.

First off I did confuse you with the Original Poster, My apologies, I'd recommend adding an avatar to make you stand out. Second I never called you stupid off hand, I never stated that everyone agrees with me, You won't find the everyone/everybody in anything that I have said here because it's all my thoughts and feelings on the matter. Third there hasn't been a truly punishing game that I've played for too many years it's all quick save/auto save. DayZ is a game I love for that element and I'm extremely passionate about it. Finally, try using the swipe keyboard on your phone it's a lot easier when you get the hang of it.

but that's exactly what you did, turned around, ignored any point's I'd made, called me childish said it's past my nap time or whatever. If you don't like my opinion, well that's your opinion, I at least explained why I though the OP was a bad idea.

inclined to agree, I never had random character wipes till one night i couldn't for the life of me find a decent server, always locked to 1pp or night time, on about my 4th or 5th server I got a new character, successfully replicated to get another new char, could be the new suicide....

I used this to get some better performance, unfortunately client optimization usually occurs close to beta stage of testing once everything it in, sort of a clean up the code thing. http://dayzintel.com/dayz-standalone/dayz-standalone-performance-guide

On the upside, this is being addressed in the next patch

I have that exact computer it run's but I did do some tweaks with it.

It's on the to-do list but in the near future

Put the game down and come back when it's in beta?

Think we should wait and see what the new patch brings, at least more options with a new city, choosing a spawn point/area would just break the game a little too much, when everyone starts spawning as close to Electo as they can the griefers will have a field day. Then we'll have a thread related to spawn camping/KoS like we didn't do it to ourselves and it's the dev's fault. can't wait for car's tho running everywhere is annoying as hell.
