true, but maybe its just private atm

Ponchos would be rad, no need for pockets or anything, its just something that goes over your shirt or jacket or whatever. As far as problems with the models going over each other, they should just make the top model lay flat so theres no clipping, I don't know how hard that is to do because I know nothing about this shit, but I would think thats what you'd want to do

I think a quiet emote, i think thats a good idea, that way u dont have to say quiet over the mic and be heard

Wasn't this thread locked yesterday?

I'm having a hard time understnading how it's too military. It would make sense to me that a normal person would crouch even lower behind certain covers. I don't think the military teaches an extention of stances, besides crouched and proned, I would think it would just come naturally.....was it a poll or just a descision from the devs?

So I bought the game from Bohemia's website for 75% off a couple days ago and downloaded it on steam. I ran A2 and OA once to menu, then tried running dayz mod, it said I was missing executable, so i deleted appcache, which is the solution steam gave me. I restarted my pc, opened steam as admin and ran dayz mod, I connected to server with v1.8.something and actually played for like a hour before deciding to commit suicide. I clicked respawn, my dude respawned in the same place and commit suicide,p this happened over and over again, so i decided to leave and find a different server, and lo and behold, this is when I start having issues. Every time I try to connect I get this file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/Steam/userdata/78334134/760/remote/224580/screenshots/2014-04-10_00001.jpg I've been searching the web for this fix, I've tried a few things. I even uninstalled everything last night and reinstalled.....still getting the same message. I don't wanna bother anyone, I'm sure people have heard this a thousand times, but I literally do not know how else to get this fixed, I'm at a loss. I'm not a comp tech so I don't really know how to resolve this type of thing on my own. I also want to play dayz, its just really hard to actually start playing it for some reason... Anyways, any feedback would be very much appreciated

It worked! thank you, much appreciated

Instead of having an option to make peoples bodies magically disappear (cause that makes sense), it would be cool if we could burn them if we have matches on us. That way no one would be able to recycle the loot and it would probably attract other players, which could potentially bring in new and interesting experiences. I know they want to add in dragging bodies, so soon you would be able to drag someones body and just hide it, or just drag it somewhere less noticeable and burn it. waddya think?

lol

thats an awesome idea. It would be cool if the player could rig an explosive to the body also(when they add in explosives), it could be a trap made for both zombies and players..

I want the arma 3 stances very badly, it helps out so much and the standard 3 stances just seems like such an aged idea to me after playing arma 3 lol

would the extra animation from something like that really affect performance? I know they are going to add in various campfires, would they really have to change much of those animations to have them on a character? I would assume they would just need to cut the animation a bit to fit onto the person being burned, but I know nothing about how that stuff works so I could be wrong.

hmmm, so i just tried installing dayz commander. I downloaded the file and tried opening, my pc asked for permission, I said yes and then nothing happened.....I can't open it for some reason... Edit:Nevermind, I must have clicked the wrong download button lol. I hope I didn't download a virus

Why the fuck did you join that conversation? It had nothing to do with you and you obviously didn't bother to find out in what context that was spoken in. Yea, we all "waste" time playing games, although using the term "waste" is debatable. Although we all waste time doing "nothing," that doesn't mean we all have all day to play games. I told him those things after he argued with me for simply agreeing with the OP on the subject and told me he spends all day playing the game, then the argument was dropped. Stay the fuck out of other people's conversations.

all we need is this

The guns in this game are foreign to me, not foreign like I've never heard of them, but foreign in feel and characteristics. I know there are going to be posts of people who are like, "the best way to figure out a weapon is to keep playing." The only problem with that is a lot of the time your character dies before you get to use your weapon, so you don't get a whole lot of practice with that gun. I'm sure people will say, "well get better at the game and you'll get to use your gun," but half the time people die from bugs, or a super strong zombie that hits you in the head once and you die.... Basically, I am suggesting a training, or practice option. I am stealing this idea from Planetside 2. They have a VR(Virtual Reality) Training option that teleports you to an area with all the weapons and attachments as well as targets in various situations to practice with and get the feel for the weapons at various ranges. It could be an area in the bug field that maybe wont ever get developed and could be dedicated to this training. Or it could possibly be a separate server the player would automatically connect to after selecting this feature. The whole server would just be dedicated to this feature, friendly fire would be turned off, there could be several ranges with crates of guns, ammo, and attachments Now I know there are gonna be pissed off people that are going to argue that this is a survival simulator etc etc and no one should be very familiar with any of the weapons yada yada. Well, at some point, people are going to be very familiar and good with the guns in the game, because no matter how much you want this to be a simulator where the player isn't an expert at anything combat related, the person playing the game is going to keep learning and they're going to keep learning by shooting people. Basically people who are more prone to banditry are going to be better shots in general because they use their gun whenever they can. The easiest way to learn without a training option is to be in a group with people, in elektro......which is a giant clusterfuck. That or you could be the douche that snipes freshpawns from the mountain by the main road on the way to elektro......which just sucks for all those freshies. ;)

Its not the idea of it I'm against, it's the hassle and possibility of dying before being able to go out. It would be easier and faster to have the option. If u'd feel its an immersion breaker, then you can get a gun and ammo and go into the woods. I don't think theres anything wrong with being in an environment out of the game where you can practice handling weapons. They'll definitely be tweaking weapons, in fact they already have been, it doesn't make the practice all for nothing. They're not gonna completely gut the system they have in place for weapon damage and feel, they're just going to tweak it, its something many games do even after they release their game.

lol, u playing all day just shows u have no life. apparently u have all the time in the world to argue with people on the forums too. I didn't come here to complain, I came to agree with the suggestion. Get a life dude

having patience doesnt make running 20 minutes just to meet up with a friend ok or even necessary in a video game. some of us have shit to do, can't spend the whole day playing dayz.

ya, the only problem with that is the amount of time it takes to get all that stuff and then travel to a deserted location. I've been doing that and half the time I cant even do it because I either die from some bug or I get killed by a zombie. It would just be better to have an environment where you can try all the guns on targets, instead of spend half the day getting all your shit only to lose it if you die. What your talking about might be more viable closer to the release of the game, but not in its current state

ya, exactly, it will take 20 minutes of u just staring at your screen watching ur dude run, without stopping for anything. A huge and unnecessary waste of time. There is a way to have group spawning without causing problems for people

I would like to see some sort of group spawning option, it kind of sucks when you spawn in a completely different area of the map and have to kill yourself hoping you'll spawn closer. I don't think the friends should be able to spawn like right next to each other, but at least in the same town. I also think this option should be disabled if the friend goes into combat.

Na, not katanas. I mean, it would be fun, just doesn't really fit the setting. I think they should just improve the machete, make it bigger etc.

na D-eagle is too cliche. And having it accurate at 50-100m is pretty huge dude, I don't think any of the pistols in game right now are that accurate, I know the Amphibia is accurate until like 20m lol, after that making headshots are fucking hard. It's easy to see the bullet travel on that gun because its tracer, and the bullet just goes all over the place.

Vermin Supreme I don't see whats wrong with this, lol
