Agreed, make it semi RPG and add character progression that you loose upon death.

I have a R9-290 Radeon and before the patch It was strugglng at 40-50 fps full detail, it is now 50-60 fps exactly 10 fps as the patch says, but still below what I should be getting for this card when I compare it to games like BF4.

Wahahaha, and they will throw in a good "Hurr Dur it's Alpha" for good measure, to make sure you learn from your mistake! nice on dude, laughed hard at that ;)

The guy is clearly trying to have a constructive discussion and not just complaining and you idiots just post some lame "Hur durr It's Alpha" bullshit. Try reading for a change, jeezus

I hope 'server Maintenance' doesn't = Character wipe. We can only hope!

So at the risk to people saying I didn't search the forums, I had a quick look and a google search to find out what the effects of sprinting and tiredness are, all i found was this helpful post http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/167137-rocket-answers-to-everyone-who-complains-about-3d-view/page-2#entry1697361 In the interest of correct information I ask for some confirmation on what Dsi1 posted.Does it only make your aim worse ? The reason I ask is that my friend an I are not sprinting because he is sick from food poisoning.This is increasing journey times by 50% Does Sprinting/tiredness slow regeneration of blood or healing?What other adverse effects does it cause ? Thanks!

Yea you can see the tips of items in 1st Person(Most of the time), but sometimes I cannot actually reach the item in 1st person, Even with the new magnum box (did it replace tiny bullets entirely?) Sometimes I still struggle to reach items in 1st person. There was an axe once on some planks and there was no way you could get to it in 1st person. THat is my only gripe with 1st person, and suffering from huge FOMO I Simply cannot take the chance that I miss something.

I agree that 3rd person does let you view angles that gives you far to much of an advantage, and I would play 1pp hardcore. My main issue is items that are on top of lockers/cupboards that are too small to see or just cannot be seen without 3rd person view. If this issue is rectified, bring on the 1pp!

I find food easy to find as well, but eating enough to be 'Healthy' is slightly harder.

It would be cool if you could beat people with books, then they would be useful ;)

Do you even know what Alpha means in gaming terms ? You have no idea how the engine is built, Your opinion makes sense, anyone could have thought of that solution but the problem is with the server architecture being changed for different shards of Hardcore and Regular, obviously there are verification issues when the game servers authorise with the database, or even server/OS settings or updates for change in security or whatever the case may be.I doubt they need some one to tell them how to store character information as that has been done properly up until the latest patch, and since this is a server verification/communication problem, your solution really has no relevance to the issue, does it ? it's always fascinating when people who couldn't code their way out of a paper bag tell the game dev's how to program ;) Always entertaining.

Wow so much ignorance, this has nothing to do with server hopping, put your pitchfork away.

and some people will bitch and moan about just about anything.

All I see from you is bitching and moaning about what people post, it's getting pretty old to be honest. People will have questions and some won't search before they post,Get over it.

I added ctrl to be run /sprint as well as w , then I just rest my cellphone on it, go for a smoke and when I return have progressed a lot!

There currently is issues with saving char progression, I had same issues this morning.

I didn't take notice of the server types I was joining, but here is my experience this morning 1) some servers you can gather loot and just by disconnecting and reconnecting you always start as a freshspawn. 2) some Servers saves your progression and play as normal, but I have connected to 2 different types or (hives not confirmed) that both have different progression saving, so I'm assuming these are different hives? It's very confusing, it could be servers not configured properly yet as admins haven't connected yet. It could be different Hives at work It could simply be a bug. but I will investigate more when I get home from work. Please can the dev's clarify for us! Thanks!

Hmm Salty Rage tears, the tastiest kind ;)

Wahahahaha, nice ;)

hahaha, yea backing up a database then adding new fields and metadata required for the patch.Obviously you can't just restore the previous database because the new update requires the new fields they have added, so then you want them to write scripts for massive clustered servers to import this data into the new structure they have modified, all this effort from an Indie developer in Alpha stage? The fact that people have last weeks characters means they have already done the backup and imported it already, but they used the point from a week ago to do that, and made the changes do that database as it probably takes time to make the changes. all of this is not even considering the implications of changes to the relational database structure ,so yes it is possible to write scripts to modify the latest database, but if the core structure has changed like a new primary key for, lets say the table that controls items this means that previous data is worthless without massive scripting or importing, all of which is not a priority since, yep you guessed it.ALPHA! You keep saying people don't understand databases's ,but it seems you don't either.

Lol ?

Stop whining idiot, they have 2 separate databases for experimental and stable branch is what he meant. This patch is for everything, i logged in this morning and found spraypaint, oh yea and how about reading a little. "This build is has very big back-end changes, which means that it may take some time for game servers to come up. Please keep an eye on the DayZ twitter for updates. Many of the changes not listed here are significant database cluster changes associated with our datacenter, and involve configuration changes to DayZ servers themselves. We have tried to minimize potential problems, but delays and outages are possible now more than ever. We will be working as fast as we can to get everything back online" Massive backend changes, obviously a database wipe will occur.Please stop whining and think a little bit.
