Ya i was getting back into GO, but I took like a month off for this game. I went from going 3:1 in pugs to 1.5:1 :( I feel so slow now :|

There is a sticky about this at the top of this section.

Try the search function. There are literally 20 good threads about this topic. Including one stickied at the top of this forum section.

Even if your being honest, and Im not sure you are, try this amazing invention called the 'favorites list'. Its basicaly hacking. If you find a good server, add it to this 'hack' and be able to rejoin it whenever you want! Its totally a cheat around for 'bad servers that kick you'. You'l never need to wait in queue again!

I was just playing CS today actually. Its rather unique even among most other FPS's, there never has been another game quite like it. Mostly because Quake is its daddy and Half-life is its mommy :) Though it is rather silly to link $700 worth of computer parts and have to ask if they are good enough. You should probably do research on building computers and talk with friends IRL. For all we know your going to put in a $30 Mobo into it and all the hardware in the world isnt going to help you.

Yes. Footwear: could hurt your feet, make you faster or slower. No footwear would cause foot injury. Cold/rain gear: You will have negative effects from rain and cold. Body armor: You get the idea Walking through water without wellys will probably be a bad idea and ruin boots not made for it. Short's in cold weather will probably not be good for you. No shelter or appropriate clothing on a cold rainy night could even be the death of you. Dean mentioned negative effects from rain 'soon' on twitter.

Some of the 'input lag' is because of optimization issues and will not go away until its fixed. Other things you may be confusing with this are deliberate delays built into animations to prevent superhuman reflexes :) I dont think its ever going to feel like couter-strike. Battlefield? Maybe a little, but not Counter-strike.

It will be less of an issue when the game is finished. Vehicles, re-spawning loot, ect. You wont 'need' to run 40km to get whatever you want.

you beat me to it.

there are about 2 million 'getting started in dayz' videos on youtube. Id start there.

This Necro...........

Dieing in your last server, server you just joined finaly gets the message. Zombie chewing on you from the floor below your building. Laggy/desynced player shoots your body on his screen running in place, while on your screen your 100 yards from there. Laging through a wall. Game thinks you fell 20 feet, but it was 2. Your poison'd but get no message and suddenly fall over. You eat that nice fresh (rotten) kiwi.

A realistic peaceful encounter is one where you and your friends provide security. Not one where your standing in a green box that makes you invincible. Go ahead and try to trade with a drug cartel IRL, let me know how peaceful that turns out to be.

Its never going to feel like counter-strike for many reasons. Firstly all weapons ins CS are hitscan, all weapons in DayZ draw projectiles. There is delay and various animations that make running and gunning impossible. You need to catch your breath ect, if you want a good shot, if not your aim will be off no matter what. The strategic player will always come out on top over the twitch shooter, this game rewards good use of cover and patients. You simply can not effectivly run and gun. In short your comparing apples and oranges. It will never 'feel' like counter-strike, nor should it. Now is that a bitchen setup your looking at? Absolutely, im looking at something similar soon for myself. The 770 is as good as you can get for the money. But no amount of hardware is going to change how the game plays. Also your specs are moot at this point as its alpha. People with MONSTER systems sometimes cant run the game well. Though the next patch should help it. Final thoughts, if you want a twitch shooter, or even a FPS, look elsewhere. If you want combat, go buy ArmaIII. This is a survival mmo that happens to include realistic guns, guns that will become harder to find and less reliable towards release. But its not a FPS, it just has FPS elements.

Further the shading, rigging, poly count, bump-maps, ao, texture quality, and more are not necessary compatible/correct with dayz's engine ;)

Whens the last time you fell over period? I tripped a week ago on a ledge hidden by snow, im lucky I didnt break my arm.

I think this is the real answer. Because it creates so much more of a deep experience for everyone. 4 guys on security at the perimeter, two guys secure peoples weapons when they come in. Two people to handle the trade. And a guy or two on patrol in the camp. Suddenly you have the oppetunity to create an experience. Instead of some bullshit town scenario where people change their nature because of where they are standing. Ya its not going to be easy, but nothing worth doing ever is.

Or ... You know.... Private hives and respawning loot.... Stuff thats already planned.......

Isnt glock based in Austria?

Ya hes hunting small game. I mean, look at the beard on that thing, does it even have one?

Your words are sentences. But your logic is grossly flawed. Thus it is nonsensical. It doesnt make sense. You are contrary. Contradictory. At odds with your goal. Shooting your self in the foot. Blathering. Speaking in tongue's. You have also conveniently avoided addressing my points that highlight the flaws in your logic. I will take that as my victory for the night.

Im sure it will be customizable, I can see both camps on this one. However, If you ever go off the beaten trail, this game is realllllllly big.... Got lost yesterday, the time of year changed and the sun wasnt where I thought it was. I had no clue where I was going for two hours. It was kinda fun.

Police cuff and search people every day :) Its for their own protection. I mean, think of it this way. Officer: "You got any guns on you" Crackhead: "NOPE". Officer: "You sellen dope?" Crackhead: "NOPE" Officer: "Well I'a have to run your plates, make sure the vehicle isnt stolen, its not is it?" Crackhead: "NOPE" Officer turns around and *YOU ARE DEAD*....

That would not be a good solution. It currently costs about $100 per month, usd, to host a 50 slot server. People who are running servers would have a very difficult time attracting people to their server.

Drugs in this game are not a powerup. They are a medical supply used to treat conditions found in the real world. I think your being overly paranoid. Now you may have something if we were talking about Mario, those mushrooms make everything so tiny. Edit: The real question you need to be worried about is how much bandwith this game eats. Dont you guys pay per Mb down there?
