I wouldn't, I just want :D

AA12 HE please! thank you!

yay, DayZ was mentioned in some channel of some smart-ass who likes to talk smart about stuff everyone with half a brains already knows about everything there is to know. yay I just wasted a click :s

Nah, it's more a general pain-in-the-butt. But at least in 3pp you can headglitch through walls or use 3pp to look out without being seen :D

that pretty much is the biggest issue of 1pp right now. It's arma 2 all over again, where you can't shoot out of windows or sand-bunkers properly. Not even a way to use a bipod on a window-frame. If they don't fix it, it will be a pain in the butt like it was in arma

Maybe that new renderer ppl speak about will fix this? I can't wait to see the first images of this mysterious new thingy

WTF dude? ...on a bit of rock you said? o.O

again, what Brian Hicks said was to make the OFFICIAL servers 1pp only. It's only the servers run by BI directly. It's not all PUBLIC servers.

please keep it calm everybody. Otherwise I'd have to feed you raw bor guts!

Maybe not, but it's the first time (afaik) that Brian Hicks gave a statement on this matter.

true. I'll update OP with this

yes, but I don't consider it a bad idea to raise income that way. There are worse ways and this one seems pretty fair

Yes, I really like the idea too To people who still want to see their fancy character: The new UI will allow to fully animate and rotate your character in that center window. I think even the current stance will be shown (afaik)

@Hicks_206 "The thought has crossed my mind to make the Official DayZ servers all 1PP - leave the community the option to run theirs 3PP if they want" ~Brian Hicks You like? (Update) Consider this: The majority wants to play on full servers, perspective really isn't such a make it or break it issue. DayZ is not dissimilar to Rust, there was minimal backlash when 3rd person perspective was removed from Rust and Brian isn't suggesting something that extreme anyway.

Most people are not 'really' asking for full realism - neither with physics nor with some over-tedious game-mechanics. I think people just don't like artificial balancing and poor rule-sets. For example Elite Dangerous: You can travel with your space ship to most systems, but for some systems you need a 'permission' to get there. So, instead of giving the players the possibility to take the risk by going there anyway (without permission) and deal with the local authorities (like a real outlaw), the devs just disabled the option to lock said system into your nav-computer - Bang! Problem solved. Lore-wise one wonders why there are any faction wars going on in that game since every faction could just disable the possibility to lock their systems into a nav-computer. Complaints about cheap game-mechanics or rules like that are often mistaken for the demand for 'super-realism' in games. A game doesn't have to copy every aspect of real life but at least it should make some kind of sense. DayZ is heading in the right direction - even though I really hate the apple-picking-lottery (edit) I voted "other" because the apple-lottery isn't in the list :D
