  1. This happened to me walking over a branch in the swamp near Riffy, kept bouncing up and down and I was really unable to do anything about it. I was able to get out when a friend pushed me out by running into me a few times. Thank goodness for character collision.

    Where is Cherno?

    Alpha! New game system, it's got to be tested. Even when it has effects, needs to be frequent so bugs show their ugly faces.

    Protective case inception still works

    Battlefield 3 vs DayZ dispersion

    This game is clunky enough as is. Firing a gun should not be like riding a mechanical bull, you should be able to at least consistently create a grouping of bullets at range. We already have gun sway from running and being winded, which makes sense, but excessive handicaps to guns just doesn't make sense, which is why no other shooter has gone that route. It would make the game more frustrating and less enjoyable for most people, and thus they would stop playing. This is not the goal of developers. EDIT: I am not supporting that guns are currently broken, but I am saying we don't need further handicaps.

    Battlefield 3 vs DayZ dispersion

    Game systems that make any type of combat unpredictable and random are a bad idea.
  6. I would like to see the shotgun capable of being equipped to melee back slot. Since it's only good at very close range, and could make sense replacing a melee weapon. Weapon bag sounds like a cool idea. Would be cool if it had hand straps, like a duffle bag, so you can carry it in your hands (without replacing backpack). Could be useful for gathering some extra guns to stash somewhere once persistent storage is a thing.
  7. I like the new zombies. They make you play smarter in bigger towns/cities, and make the axe useful even after you have a gun and ammo. IMO, game is a lot more fun now. EDIT: Could do with like a 5-10 min cooldown on respawn... it can be quite difficult to move through a heavy zombie area when they just keep popping up in front and behind you.

    Why Should I Go To The Apartments?

    Chapaevsk has a nice cluster of garage buildings on the northern edge, nice loot spawns there.

    Well, that was lame

    Shadowplay works for me. I have it set to always record the last 15 minutes. And yes, I have hit invisible dirt walls before. Usually happens when trying to shoot downhill, especially when prone.

    How to fix server hopping and combat logging!

    These are some whacky penalties. 30 minutes of your character staying on the server? Put down the pipe!

    Remove guns from the game.

    Please, no! It's a zombie apocalypse, guns are fun. If anything, MORE guns! ESO comes out soon for those of you that don't like guns. You can do all the melee you want in that game.
  12. Lies. My 3 week old PC tears through cities like it ain't no thing... on maximum settings (1920x1080). Sure it dips lower than when not in a city, but it's still 40+ FPS, and I'm always running ShadowPlay. There is a problem (was evident on old PC), but to say even the best rigs have issues is ignorant.

    Why is hardcore so underpopulated?

    And turning head bob all the way down in the gameplay settings is very helpful for first person!

    Why is hardcore so underpopulated?

    I started playing only on Regular servers with 3PP. I think it helps a lot when trying to learn and understand the unique/frustrating Arma/DayZ control scheme, and just how your character responds to these controls. Now that I have a really good understanding of controls and map, I play exclusively on hardcore. I have also noticed this trend... Also, 3PP makes for much nicer Selfies ;p

    Why are you against many military items in game?

    I never understand in games, movies, and tv, how an armed and trained military force could be overrun by slow, uncoordinated, and unarmed zombies...

    Would you like a black backpack?

    IDK where you got your pricing... but it looks like you can pick up a bag for $30-$40 USD... http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/171070205543?lpid=82

    Loot respawning?

    ^Troll. ..but I'll bite. 225KM2. That's why items would magically respawn. It's that or server restarts every 1-4 hours or server hopping.

    Is Spy Infiltration wrong ethics/cheating

    You do not deserve beans for this. 3rd party comm is completely legit. It's a video game.

    Can I Run DayZ Retail (POST HERE)

    ASUS Maximus VI Hero i7-4770K @ 4.1GHz 16GB DDR3 - 1600MHz (Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer C8) Gigabyte GTX 780 OC 3GB Rev. 2 All video settings (Quality, Rendering, etc.) are turned up to the highest possible option. Latest (not beta) NVidia drivers, running at 1920x1080 @ 60Hz. Game is also installed on Samsung 840 PRO SSD, not sure if big city lag is caused by loading visuals as they come into draw distance? My system is only 1 week old, was running on an Intel Q9450 @ 3.2GHz with GTX 480 previously, and I had pretty bad FPS drops in cities with low settings.
  21. Server hopping (for loot) is not cheating and is not exploiting. It's playing the game more efficiently. If you join a server that has a bunch of looted buildings, even in a city, chances are as you run through other cities they will also be looted. This is why respawning loot is important, you could run for 1-2 hours before finding any unopened buildings. This is a waste of your time. I've found server hopping to be even easier after the time penalty implementation. Less people are hopping so the chances of spawning into a military base or NWAF to find it unlooted is much higher. 5 minutes is perfect for a bathroom break or to fetch an ice cold Nota Cola Classic. You should try it sometime...

    Can I Run DayZ Retail (POST HERE)

    Not true, game runs like butter for me even in big cities with maximum settings on GTX 780 w/ i7-4770K @ 1920x1080 60Hz...

    Spawning in after safe log out or reset with nothing?

    You're acting a lot like Jim Carey in your signature...
