I think you're just putting your own head in the ground ignoring what's happening around you. But hey, it's not there if you don't see it right? I don't buy any of that perfectionist crap, and even if I did, you don't say that a game people invested in so it can be fully developed was a flawed concept to begin with.

Don't put words in my mouth. There's tons of articles where he speaks of excitement and how this game will be so much better than the mod, and now he says it's a flawed concept. That doesn't strike you as odd?

He had one tune before alpha, and now it's a completely different one? What changed? Oh yeah, 1.5 million things changed.

Seesh, ok, I never make memes, and loath them, but I gather this is a special case. and a template for anyone interested

He sure made me see merit in taking the risk of shelling out 23 euros for the game. And he was right about that becoming a potential problem just now.

It seems like priority #1 was getting those 1.5 mil sales.

Hey, it's alpha!

Newsflash, manhood isn't being a self-absorbed asshole. Is arma 3 a twitch shooter? No. Does it have clunky controls? No. Anyway, Dean got our money and is leaving bohemia in 10 months, guess I got my answer... but hey, it's alpha!

I think not.. this doesn't have anything to do with alpha if it's an engine limitation, like I outlined before. Arma 3 isn't an arcade shooter, and it doesn't have clunky controls. These two things aren't mutually exclusive, but people keep assuming they are.

We already have vehicles. Just get in a house and watch your vehicle try to budge his/her way around chairs, tables and stairs.

I've played OPFP and all arma series, including the last. This is no new ground for me. But I have to take into account its 2014. There's no more excuses to be had - bohemia did a lot at improving the clunkiness in arma 3, but the dayz devs chose to go with the arma 2 engine knowing the limitations it had regarding this. I just want to know if they thought "screw it it's easier to just do it from the same engine as the mod" and went in like that or they thought "we can improve things a LOT even retaining the old engine".. What kind of logic is that? Barring the fact that I've played every bohemia title, it's mind boggling to justify something by means of being able to get used to it. There's tons of shit games you could "get used to" if you overlooked their problems with this kind of logic.

Currently scopes make you zoom like you aren't really using a scope, everything around the scope and the image through the lens is the same. Case in point: The image clearly depicts that the outer area has the same magnification as the inner area. In reality, it should look like this: A scoped image should always have the appropriate zoom while the rest of your viewport shuld retain whatever "zoom level" your eyes have.

It will spawn sometimes in construction sites. Other than that, military buildings only.

At least 3-5 days. I gear up decently (m4 with magpul/sks with PU) + green/tan clothes and a vest in about 2 hours if I'm solo (killing people to get gear is faster than looking for it yourself). Once I gear out properly (fully pristine M4 magpul attachments, all TTSKO, 500+ bullets + mosin with LRS etc.) I typically just go looking for trouble in hotzones with my friends. Last time I got 4 people before I died, but then again, I managed to get most of my stuff back..

You mean the kind of fear like "oh shit.. I'm moving too fast and the angle of the stairs.. so STEEP, OH SHIIIITTTT I'M GONNA DRIFT IN THE OTHER ROOOOOOOOOOMMMMM"

So I was typically solo stalking around NEAF when I saw a guy in full military gear loot the western prison. I immediately got into an ambush spot, but luckily took my time (something the dayz seems to value a lot). Soon after the guy I saw went out, he was followed by a friend, similarly geared, full TTSKO, M4 with attachments etc. Rather than opening fire and maybe killing one guy, I decided to follow them closely, jumping from bush to bush. Of course, they came into the glitch spot and set up camp there. Shame on you guys, someone should teach you a lesson.. after waiting for a good couple of minutes, I concluded that you two are practically sitting there waiting to stab people. Which I don't mind to be honest, that's what I do, but not with the glitch spot. So I snuck up, crawling to them, from the opposite edge of the glitch spot. As soon as I went below one of them saw me, shot her in the head and instantly killed her. The other guy turned over to me but he didn't get to fire a shot either, really bad reflexes, makes you wonder how they managed to live up to that point :) Here's my catch:

And once you get on top of the ladder, your fists are up and you're doing a tippy-toe dance inching forward like some sort of crab-human hybrid.

You guys don't consider that sometimes you log out in a obvious spot/combat log and get shot.. ?

You have to enter the glitch spot yourself (provided they are fully immersed), which is why the place is so unfair/easily defensible.

Currently, if someone gets shot, he can go hide in a building and just combat log. Happened to me several times - I wound a guy, he doesn't bandage, just straight combat logs around the corner. Of course, I can't know if he's waiting for me behind the corner or logging, by the time I approach him from another angle he's gone already. So I think there needs to be an audio cue when logging off, like a sound where someone packs their items into their backpack or something, a lot less obvious than the spawning in noise, but still one that would prevent people from just running inside a building and logging in the middle of a fight.

I actually stood on the concrete edge of the other hangar and just leaned over barely to scope out the edge of the glitched hangar. I doubt you can see a guy from there because my feet weren't on the ground until the last couple of seconds where I went in prone for the kill :) - I didn't approach them from the back of the hanger, but the side of it.

Yea the upper image is what I was trying to say. Note that it's still not 100% right as the rifle parts didn't get zoomed :)

Yeah it's not just the directional audio being screwed, sometimes you just can't hear anything being fired at all.

It's really annoying. I like to kill people in the NEAF but don't use the glitch spot. The spot is very bad for two reasons: 1 Allows you to have an outlook on the tower, hangar you're in, and the jail close to the tower. 2.It's really easy to attack/surprise people from it, if they enter the hangar they're pretty much dead unless you screw up with your aim badly. 3.It's hard to attack someone in the glitch spot, and virtually impossible to sneak up on them from behind (they have vision of you, while you don't have any of them). I don't think it's too much to ask for the piece of land behind the hangar to be lifted a bit.. all that's needed.. Just now I saw a guy loot the ATC and then head straight in it. Of course, if I wanted to get him from behind, I risk being spotted and shot as soon as I go prone.

he obviously wasn't serious..
