  1. Hi guys, I noticed there is no reduction in visual sway of the barrel/sights/crosshair/aimpoint as soon as u deploy you bipod when you are in prone position. Actually the sway should be reduced to nearly absolute 0 because the rifle lays on the ground and the only thing that would move it, is actually pulling the trigger. And every sporting shooter knows that. But when aimed on one spot, there should be no movement at all with the bipod deployed! So far there are 3 intensity levels of sway, afaik, standing vs. crouching vs. prone. But prone & bipodded needs to be the 4th and lowest intensity. Please implement as fast as possible. Thx!

    Changing server times

    yes the shorter you stay on a server the longer the timer will be. i also just had a 600 second timer because i joined the wrong server by mistake. but i like the 600 second timer, because it really prevents server hopping now. only people who have toooo much time will try to server hop this way. @threadstarter: to prevent high ping, just check the ping times in the server browser. those numbers are pretty reliable. anything between 20 and 80 should be no problem at all!

    Scope damage?

    Yeah it didnt affect accuracy at any time of the development. But the cracks when Damaged or Badly Damaged seem to have vanished? At least with my specimen :D

    Scope damage?

    I dont complain, actually in my original post I wrote that I would like it best if items in general are usable to their full extent until "Ruined". So the status of an item becomes a health bar equivalent for the item solely and its functionality is 100% granted until the item is dead = 0% = "Ruined"... So if anybody knows if this has been purposely changed, pls let me know.

    Scope damage?

    Hi, simple question, i can't find anything on it via forum search. Is the Long Range Scope damage now irrelevant to its functionality again? I have a Badly Damaged LRS with no scratches on the lens and it works. If this is the case, why is this the case? Is it only temporary? Is it because you dont want to restrict functionality from status "Pristine - Badly Damaged" and just make items unusable @ "Ruined"? (which I think would be best) Or is it another reason? Thx, Bai

    Can Nothing be done about MetaGaming in Dayz?

    Haven't read all of it. But my opinion is: People can use their home phone anytime, you can't keep them from doing so if they like to. But for most of the groups maybe they don't want to exchange real phone numbers etc. So the best thing is, as already mentioned, to lock the recording of ingame voice. The microphone can of course be muted by many ways but this will also mute any other communication via that PC. So basically it would force anyone who wants to secretly communicate with a friend/in-game-friend while in presence of an unknown player to use either a phone (too complicated i guess, 90% wouldnt do that i guess) OR use another computer and mute the mic of the gaming PC while speaking over the comms of the other PC. The latter is also only possible if u have another comp of course. And u have to deal with a lot of stuff at the same time so it actually renders u vulnerable during contact with unknown persons. I think the forcing of enabling the recording of ALL mic devices connected to the gaming comp is a good solution for direct chat. And yes for Radio comms a PTT can be pushed, while this doesnt affect direct comms at all (they're ALWAYS on). --> Autodetect all mics -> Force record for direct. --> Can always be muted for "Real-Life"-Issues. But then everything is muted ofc.

    Oh fun - all geared up 12 hours ago, now naked. Fun.

    So you want to be informed about the resets/wipes? Wow??? What does it change? Server Message: "OK guys, in 30 minutes there will be a reset and all your gear is lost" You: "OMG what am I going to do now, I need to hide my stuff so that it can't get deleted........" ....wait...what? Buddy... you bought a piece of software to be able to test it. And even ... just imagine... even if the game wouldnt be an alpha... You can lose your gear any second if you die. And no one will inform you about that 30 minutes in advance :D So just cut the crap and play other games if you don't want to participate in testing. AND YES... IF YOU DONT WANT TO TEST... THEN YOU WASTED 30 DOLLARS UNTIL THE GAME IS DONE.

    Your Rage Quit Moments

    my story happened yesterday. and its actually the first death i really went mad on. i wont tell the long story. but there was a glitcher in the far east building of NEAF. i enter the building, i was like fully equipped since 4 days or so, and i hear shots, dont see anybody, realize he is hitting me. dead. i never had problems with kos. but glitchers. they are just scum that need to get over their ridiculous penis size.

    cant seem to find an .56 ammos... only .45

    5.56 ammo has been removed out of the game forever. it was just in the alpha to test some shooting behaviour of the m4. but now that this game is gone gold they removed it.

    What do a mute person do?

    let a friend record a soundboard for you, which you can play with keyboard shortcuts like "SHIFT + F1 - F12" - and go like F1 - "Hi, i am friendly" F2 - "I am a mute person, pls consider" F3 - "Yes" F4 - "No" F5 - "... etc... map the record channel of the soundcard to "what you hear" or the soundboard program. this is possible with most modern soundcards. and theeere you go. first contact problems solved

    The SOLUTION for KOS!

    i read all of it and i think the people who ONLY kos dont see the many exciting possibilities this game offers: - making territorial claims and defending a territory as a group by talking to trespassers giving them warnings that u will kill them next time the come along. - recruiting players to join a group (as scouts / medics / looters / food&water suppliers etc... so many roles) - gauging intent of other players - establish trade with other groups (friendly or neutral standing) - taking hostages (exchanging hostages with unfriendly groups) - protecting VIPs (declared leaders of groups, important roles like medics, etc) - make shooting contests (zombies or no life targets or traitors :D ) so much... to do... but all they can "think" of is kosing :D
  14. now you are making progress...you have learned to apply constructive criticism. random noises as the buggy noises that still exist paired with very subtle imagery. but i thought you dont like the idea at all :D there is your zombie http://indulgy.net/LB/3f/S1/263319909432297865oRzFEdqic.jpg
