By making things in the distance (say 50+ meters away) and in our peripherals blurry. Right click could sharpen them as long as the button is held. Look at an item, say your television, from ten feet away. When you're looking at the screen, everything around that focal point is blurry. When you "focus" on your Blu-ray player on the shelf below your television, it doesn't magically zoom in, lol. They really need to shift the focus away from Arma and start focusing on AA.

How exactly does zooming in compare to human eyes focusing? If they want to do it right, when you right click the mouse, it should sharpen whatever you're looking at, not zoom in... Really, am I the only one who thinks that? Force AA on some level to blur things in your peripheral vision and ~50 meters out, right click to sharpen. If people can't run DayZ because of forced AA, then they need to spend some money upgrading. Seems pretty simple to me.

hay guy can i run DayZ?? rig in sig lol ty

Badmins who think they're amusing/funny on global voice chat have got to be the most annoying thing on the internet.

Well I'm describing the exact same thing, and mine isn't caused by latency/frame rate issues. At any given time, either myself or my wife moves visibly slower than the other person. As stated before, we can be completely healthy, fully energized and hydrated, and it still happens. We've even switched gear and had the same result.

Then why does it happen to me and the wife? Both have very good computers, same 150/50 connection. Neither of us ever lags as far as frame rate or latency; desync is the only thing we suffer from every now and then. It still happens to us...

I don't think it's hardware related at all. When I play with my wife in the same room, on the same 150mbps connection, with very similar rigs (mine is in my signature, hers is my old 5.2GHz 2600K/32GB RAM/RAID 0 120GB SSDs with a GTX 760), one of us always seems to run faster than the other at any given time. We can be fresh spawns, or fully kitted. It doesn't matter if we're both healthy with nothing in our hands. As a matter of fact, my wife recently ran FASTER than me with her SKS in her hands while my Mosin was on my back. If anything, the only reason I'd believe without substantial proof would be packet loss/desync.

You're not a good troll bro. Not at all eloquent. Also, nothing I like more than a good old fashioned cop out. When you can explain to me how being able to peek around corners and over ledges at zero risk to your avatar is balanced/good game design for a survival game in which it can literally take you days to gear up in, we'll continue this conversation. In the meantime, your terrible quips will be sorely missed.

I'm still waiting for the rebuttal explaining to me how I'm wrong in my sentiments pertaining to the blatant imbalance of 3PP. Thanks.

Thanks for that insightful post. Did I not JUST explain how I'd prefer to play in 3PP but refuse to due to the blatant abuse of the camera angles? As far as immersion, explain to me how running around staring at your character's ass is more 'immersive' than you yourself being the character? Why are games like Outlast and Alien: Isolation in 1PP, do you think? Not sure of the answer? Because it's MORE IMMERSIVE. It puts you IN the character. You only see what they see, you can't magically see around corners or over ledges. Sorry, but that's not immersion. Paint it however you'd like. You can PREFER whichever mode you'd like. Just like I PREFER 3PP, but I have the brainpower to realize it's a game-breaking mechanic. Not only regarding PvP, but scouting towns for zombies, etc. Also, why are you bringing up FIFA? Lol.

It doesn't matter what you prefer. It doesn't matter what I prefer. 3PP is broken, and horribly imbalanced. If I had to choose, I'd pick 3PP for no other reason than it's more visually appealing. But, y'know, there's that whole "broken" thing where you can see over walls and around corners without your opponent being able to reciprocate.

...and the fanboyism continues. It's all good. I'm immune, bros. I've been having this conversation for a year and a half now. You guys play 3PP for an unfair advantage. Just admit it. (; "NO WAY MAN, 1PP GIVES ME MOTION SICKNESS AND, UMMM... I LIKE TO SEE MY CHARACTER!" Yeah. Right.

There is a specific purpose... not sure if you're serious, can't read, or have lost your mind. The specific purpose we've already mentioned multiple times is to make a game that's challenging while maintaining some semblance of balance. Choosing the easy route is not just human nature either, many animals choose laziness over unnecessary exertion. Humans are different because we can choose to push ourselves for no other reason than wanting to be challenged, like pushing ourselves through those last few reps on the bench, or creating a game that's a cut above every other generic trash game out there.

Sir, I've been where you are. I gave up months ago. The development of this game is, and has always been... special? It's easier just to stop caring, play and post every now and then, and just see how it turns out in 1.0.

I care because the whining of the masses about such a cosmetic feature is going to ruin the game in the long run. Such is the way of life on every level of retail, though. And I'd play 1PP too, but, y'know, 90% of the servers are empty because easymode 3PP. Someone else hit the nail on the head when they gave an example about giving people $50 to either run a mile or sit on a bench for a few minutes. Humans suck and always choose the easy route. If you feel that all of those people are playing 3PP so that they can appreciate their characters, then lol.

Lol, this. So much. /thread

Okay, why? WHY?!? Why do you want to see your character?! What is this blanket rebuttal made by so many people? Why is it so important for you to see your character, and why does said importance trump fair gameplay? Who gives a crap is it's an open world game? If you want to see your character, press TAB. Problem solved. I, on the other hand, would like to know that some camping baddy isn't sitting on top of a building watching my every move without ever having to risk exposing himself to attain information pertaining to his surroundings. That, to me, is FAR more "game-breaking" than people feeling the need to be able to stare at their avatar while they traverse Chernarus. What happened to DayZ supposedly being this anti-game that was going to be grueling, gritty, visceral, and extremely challenging? Now the forum is focused on whether or not they can see their fucking character. /facepalmfromhellfml

People wouldn't do anything. I mean, what can they really do? We're in a time where people have accepted downloadable content with open arms while multi-million dollar companies bend them over the edge of a table and ream them, often charging upwards of $100 for a game that wouldn't be worth more than $60 five years ago. I won't even get started on pay-to-win. I know these things aren't related to the OP, I'm merely making a point. If the public will accept essentially being robbed by people who make way more money than they do, they're not going to do anything about this. You might lose a few corner/ledge camping terribads, but who really cares? <3

Like so many other changes made thus far. Just remove 3PP already. A survival game that isn't first person has already lost its authenticity before even connecting to a server.

Lol @ my post being hidden. Unfortunately, hidden or not, it's true. :\ Anyway OP, did you decide whether or not it's socially acceptable to go PvP in a game with automatic weapons, grenades, and virtually no repercussions whatsoever in so doing? ;)

Ignore all of the other suggestions in this thread, and git gud. I am the terror that flaps in the night. I am the spoon you eat your cereal with. I AM DARKWI... actually, I'm just the guy who kills people like you without ever being seen.

So you basically want to go engage in some PvP. Gotcha. Please don't attempt to justify it. It's perfectly fine. (; It hasn't been called 'bandit hunting' since '92.
