WHAAAAT? when did that happen happen?!?!?! I thought I saw Vera with Joss at Vybor. But I thought: Nahh she is with Fred and they are happy... WHat is the world coming to?

It is changed piece by piece and it is not completly replaced - it will be expanded - the bit from BI about it being basically something completly new is corporate BS See COD as an example for that. Massively (and I think it is unique in that regard) modified engine and yet it still has limitation from old like the polling rate limitiation for mice. As for the point scriptfactory touched on I think there is an reddit thread but I cannot fin it atm.

As far as I followed there will no "new" renderer they expand the old one ("so much that it is basically a new one" that was the gist of what BI said as far as I remember) So as far as I understand it they basically do improve the old renderer - but in my opinion they should concentrate on that a bit more. As for FPS improvement is just done by the renderer - that is not true. Heavy CPU load will drop your FPS no matter what your GPU is and there are a lot of ways to improve CPU load beside the renderer. With that in mind and given the high amount of people that gave them money in advance to actually play the game as it is - I do think they should optimize what they got more often. It cannot hurt the process much because I think most people would prefer a game that runs fine and has not all features in yet as opposed to a mess of features that performs really bad.

And you do everything you can to agitate them further - where does that leave you?

I never said they should optimize the old renderer. But optimisation is not done by just fiddeling with the renderer. Performance is gained by optimizing EVERYTHING to perform well. Just amping up the renderer will gain you nothing if the rest of the tech bottlenecks. (I do speak from experience as a developer - not games but software) Trying to improve things after the fact will lead to pain and cut corners (things not optimized properly in the end) I have been on the receiving end of that *soab*. Just adding in stuff without thinking it through beforehand is not a good idea - heck even if you try to stay on top of the issue you will run into severe problems. Bottom line if you don't adress issues when they pop up you have fucked up what will be stacked upon it. *edit* The early access model should favorite that approach because the "traditional method" stems from pressurized development by publishers

They should optimze FPS/netcode frequently. Saying - nah we will do that once we put everything else in - will just open you up to a nasty awakening when you realize you cannot optimze because of X. Then there will be a massive rollback or (more likely) "eh fuck it...it has to stay that way"

Do not get attached to your loot until this game is released. It will happen again and again.

I wish they would see things through...

That is how much I read from your post... If I see someone trying to "prime" the opinion in such a clumsy way to further their own agenda - I immediately assume they must be some sort of ... How comes everybody camouflages their agenda or inabilities by calling something else "easy" in a derogative way? Only thing you show is that your point you want to make seem weak even to yourself.

Ya proportions are absolutely messed up in 1pp sadly.

Nothing to argue there. Personally I would stay clear of dual or SLI because the stuttering caused by synchronisation of the units that I tend to notice (unconsistent framerate) But everyone is different in that regard.

DayZ (in it's current state) is CPU > GPU upping your CPU by say 500mHz will probably do more compared to getting SLI 980ti. So if it is for DayZ just invest in better cooling and up the clock.

Ya well I think 1pp is way more easier than 3pp because the judgement/amount of dangerous areas is less since no one can peek, window/roof periscope and so on. 3pp is more demanding when looting a town or mil base because they will be there: Watching you, waiting for you to turn your back.

Oh come on - those ham-fisted attempts to push a certain agenda are bad enough. No need for you to chime in. We know that "the walls have eyes" and we have to take that in account or suffer the consequences.

This is rather sad...

This, this and a million times this.

The problem is that some people want to push their believes on others. There are 1pp and 3pp servers and I can use 1pp on 3pp if I want to. If you cannot stand dying and have to blame "peekers" or whatever (since that was clearly not your fault...) you can always play on 1pp only. I am curious why those most vocal here apparently do not play on 1pp only? I play both and I could not care less: In 1pp I feel more safe - in 3pp I have to take care more and have to live with the fact that a walled yard makes for superior position and the "walls have eyes". (But that goes both ways - done right It can be my advantage) But that is my choice since I can alway choose between the two. Please get over yourselves and just do not participate in gamemodes you do not like - without telling other people what they should do with their time. (1pp sadly is clunky and should be smoothed out immensly which might have more people play 1pp.)

I would hate it since the 1PP camera is just sad atm - if they could improve it so it loses it's clunkyness I could be ok with it.

The price had to go up eventually. Instead of being upset think of it this way: They raised the price but gave everyone a chance to get it on the old terms until the raise is final. (Why be mad about it? Or do you need for some reason to rebuy this game often? o_O)

Ahahha suuuure they 'left' it in ^^

Ya but that is BI faults. To have the char remain in the 30 sec logout when being kicked is just a terrible idea. But wait! I'm sure someone will tell me that is because otherwise the badmins can just kick themselves in a pinch and that will ruin the game. So of course the best way to deal with it is to potentially shaft everyone.

I don't know why you keep beating that horse - I don't know who gives out equipment for donations or who is dumb enough to pay for that. But if someone shares in the payment of the server (private hive) he - in my opinion - deserves special rights. Always room on the server - having admin (Oh BI only one admin logged in at all times....way to go) - and of course the right (to an extend) decide who may play or not

If people bind together in a clan and pay their servers from the money they all together pay every month to pay for said servers - of course they will have precedence above other players that do not pay for the server. This has always been this way - and I see no reason why it should not be that way. When we had our CS servers back in the day and a clanmate wanted to join our server which was full at that time we either kicked someone that was not a regular to make room or asked a regular to make room. Why because it is the clanmates servers as much as ours and MORE than nonmembers. I cannot believe that you fail to understand that? (Maybe you don't want to understand that and keep this up for arguments sake).

I just said, that I understand if someone running a server only wants invited guests and paying members on said server. My servers are always free to use (I'm middle aged and well situated so I don't mind the 50€ a month but I remember the time when we had to build a clan to pay for say the CS servers so I understand if people will give other paying members priority over non paying players) I just wanted to create a unique experience for players on the server (Missions / Radio calls and so on) to give players the opportunity to go on an adventure instead of just PVP. But I you cannot do it since you could not even protect players that wanted to take part in the experience from griefing piles of shit. When BI then announced private hives and I read that private hive offer nothing but kick/ban I canceled my server because I did not want to cater to above mentioned players and/or BI. English is not my first language so I might be prone to being misunderstood.

Ya - you need to read first and after understanding giving your response. I do not want to do anything on public hive (and never stated anything like that). I said: The bullshit nazi control over the hive even the private one is what has us in this situation. BI does not want the server owners to have their own hive. (I guess because then everyone could do a server on their own - excluding them from deals with providers) They feed you the bullshit - ya it is ruining the game / and they shaft the people that want to run/modify a server to provide a better/different experience than BI is capable to deliver. And you keep repeating it to no end. I had a public hive server and I cancelled it just because of another thread with the entitled *@/*s when I try to create a different gameplay other than KOS I have no tools other than alltalk and chat and maybe the kick/restart options to create a scenario and reset it when it played out. Not even being able to reset player gear for a new scenario and so on. All that will happen is some a-hole that does not contribute but wants to use a server where people are occupied to farm/exploit the fact the players on the server play something different. If you would remove said "persons" they will report your server. Then Bi revealed there will be private hives woooooh but those only enabled ban and kicks to hearts content without giving us the chance to mod/create a unique and better experience than what BI is offering. -> Bottom line: Fuck it, I can play the lacking gameplay without mods on enough other servers and take part in the PvP. just because BI needs to control the PRIVATE hives because of ... reasons ($$$$$$$$$)
