these photos ! wow - it's WORSE than EVER... .. just when you thought it was safe to go back up the mountain .. xx

the answer is easy - - if you make a poll mentioning "female priests" then 100% of the whole churchgoing christian population will give their view - and the remaining 90% of the entire population won't bother to vote at ALL Anybody who feels strongly that they MUST play 1pp is out playing it right now ( who can stop them?, why would sane 3pp players want to stop them? ) - So go on line on Friday evening and COUNT the percentages. That has to be real, don't it? Then ask yourself why the tiny minority - the skinny handful - of 1pp players is here voting And why the massive majority - the hundreds of thousands of 3pp players - aren't even reading this thread .. heh

So are you saying you are human, or you are not human ?

man date ? - just to make this clear "mandatory" is used in official and political texts to avoid the word "compulsory" it means "you don't get a choice" a mandate is an authority to exercise a power as in "1pp players have no mandate"

there are 150 hardcore suicide-squad 1PP fanatics on the whole forum and 100% of them already voted :)

^ Exactly - we ought to give the 1PP players a chance (force them) to play 3PP for a while so they realise how much they like it. Then they can have fun on fully populated servers. I understand your logic for further discussion on 1PP/3PP check out http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/225409-how-would-you-feel-if-1st-person-perspective-was-mandatory/#entry2268261 it's not a discussion that seems to be getting anywhere.

my idea is : Force 3PP for Single Stable Release now argue

^ brilliant thanx T

Yes you are totally right

Sexy hotshot marketing devil : Well - I agree 100% <the results in the poll do not actually mean anything relevant>. Is there an option to vote for that ? OK, what I see is this : = 13.27 % (it's gone down) What this tells me is : Even after your whole sales pitch, less than one vote in seven actually clicked on < I am Interested in Your Product > xx so Wow that was fun - now let's go vote again again again on << the ALL NEW who wants Forced 1PP Only >> thread... yaaaaay ! yaaaaay !

.. nah same thread again [ edit ]

hmmm .. a commercial break .. 13.3 % is not "most people" , .. it's not even "most voters" .. and it's not "most popular choice" Have you ever thought of doing detergent ads on television ? xx

hmm, are you two guys on the same page ? - lets fix everything so you can spawn with a full backpack geared up and well fed - if the apples were normal spawn they'd all be gone too, it's a good thing they grow on trees new spawn is the most difficult part of the game, for sure you have my sympathy xx

and this

If anyone doesn't like this post please delete it, and excuse me. quoting eugenharton http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/223307-central-economy/#entry2243705 Respawn tick happens every 5 seconds as does cleanup Each class has nominal/minimal/maximum values defined. When a items class gets to a minimal value (usualy about 50%) it start respawning based on priorities. Tents and backpacks/cases have the value greatly increased while other items diminish in matter of hours. While the system cleans these items, it quickly starts restocking the original spawn points (memory points on buildings). Items in tents/backpacks/player inventories are not part of the calculation! you understand what this means so .. very SADLY ..because this makes me sad .. to go back to my question: <<we wipe the loot with every 4 hour restart on UKA servers to prevent loot issues and all the loot respawning in one location on the map>> - every 4 hours you wipe everyone's tents and backpacks on the ground ? - you clean up behind the exploiters ?

Ha ha - the joys of Role Playing : Well, Fred, we got a message from some leader, they call him the Administrator and he says Don't Mess with Him. He OWNZ the flying machine that keeps spotting our bases so his men destroy our stuff when we're 'not around'. He says anyone else who tries to fly on his map, or messes with his flying machine - gets a thing called "Kicked" It's a kind of Orbital Strike, I guess... Well righty-o Ralph, let's migrate and buy our own Map. Then we can play at << I am the War Lord and you are the Subsistence Farmers >> with us on top. Because like it say in the DayZ Bible - << On the Map there can be only One Pilot And he is the Administrator >> Wowza! Fred, that IS the Holy Law! - I can see the light! When we reach our own map - you can fly the heli and I can do the orbital strikes on anyone who dont like it.. OK ? xx

see your point: set a random order run through that sequence for each spawn to the end set new random order - not difficult, spreads the spawns more effectively, not predictable six lines of code ( as long as the spawn point is not assigned to the new character before he chooses a server to log in ) ?

And seriously, in the rush for Mi-24PNs don't forget the need for other forms of transport : The Amazing SURVIVAL Power of Mountain Bicycle Infantry does anyone else think this dood looks like Grimey Rick ?

?? explanation ??

I'm not against aircraft (and there is no point being against aircraft, they are planned to enter the game) but I want to point out the "bad" features as strongly as I can, hoping some of the major problems can be taken on board and dealt with If that is possible. The way most players play this game - and any other - is this (and I'm not being elite.. I'm just saying this is what happens) ... At present in DayZ MOST players log in and go looking for LOOT SPLOSIONS This is what they do, they have fun doing it, they do it because you CAN - check YouTube to see how popular this is. So they search for a loot splosion, gear up and kill each other around the splosion or in the next town, then do it again.. end of story. That's the whole game. They dont even have to carry food. Survival is not an issue. ATM this is what the game is about. Let's hope it changes (or - I HOPE it changes). But most players are doing that right now. Seems to me that helicopters will be - in the same way - a main game-changing event, totally altering gameplay and turning around the reason DayZ exists. This is what happened in the mod. In the mod I hunted helicopters - they were the most interesting and most dangerous big-game on the map. You don't need wild bears , or team combat, etc.. Just go solo and hunt copters. Is Nice. Requires skill, gear, patience, weapons, observation, map reading, survival, cunning And generally on any server it was the Admin had the copter - of course. Anyway - they will be in the game Will probably be a LittleBird style copter, to start IMO, followed by something larger with a weapon option Will be as complicated to repair and maintain as the trucks they will belong to the Admins ok - remember folks, you saw it here first

If "no" is not an option I think the kind of helicopter that will be introduced is not an option either why not just ask ?

The first good idea.. perhaps I should rethink a little

[FlimmFlamm .. if this is off topic say so an I'll delete it] Fun : Any kind of realistic military helicopter with weapons more recent than 1950 is total overkill - might as well put tanks on the map as well or instead. Game graphics properties mean that a helicopter can spot anything from altitude - cover does not exist. Maintenance - In DayZ Mod you could run with an engine and a rotor assembly in your backpack. But realism is an aim of this SA survival game, right .. er, or not ? Helicopters are difficult to hide because forest area and has been reduced enormously. The result is only the Admin will have the helicopter. Teams of geared-up players jumping from helicopters sounds really exciting gameplay - oh, wait, that's ArmA 3. Civilian helicoptes and anything smaller (ultralights) are TOTALLY easy to shoot down with automatic weapons. You might as well jump off a building. For geared up yolo paying - helicopters are definitely a must. On your server ask the Admin if you can ride in his. Or shoot him down and get kicked.
