As the title states, I haven't been able to find any comment on why the removal of mask/helmet went through. If it was due to clipping, the mask/helmet combination clipped no more than any of the current in-game hats such as the beret, cowboy hat, flat cap, ball cap, etc. This isn't a rant, I'm just legitimately wondering whether or not this has been commented on and if it'll be reinstated in a future patch.

What, you mean reading pages upon pages of terrible ideas, butthurt DayZ cheerleaders defending the game when sensible suggestions are made to improve it, and people asking questions that have been answered a million times over in sticky threads isn't a perk to you? Well... damn.

Who's raging? Because I disagree with what several people are claiming on a forum, to you that translates to me screaming at my monitor? Hardly. Last I checked, no one asked your opinion of why I decided to "come back" (it's been a couple weeks?) either. Back on topic, I won't multi-quote as I'm posting using a phone in very northern Canada, but someone mentioned that they spot at 2 kilometres on "a regular basis". Lol, from where? Seriously, I'd love to know. The draw distance isn't the source of the performance issue, I'd just like to know for shits and giggles. We don't really need an argument as to why this game runs like crap, it's not necessary; the engine has been the culprit for over a decade, whether or not "improvements" have been made. The "new" engine (lol) they're working on will hopefully fix some of the issues Real Virtually has suffered from for-****in'-ever, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Also, the argument of the games I mentioned having a "100 metre area" proves how truly dumb people can be; Battlefield 4 was one of the games mentioned, and a 64 player map with non-stop action, explosions, shots being fired, people rag-dolling, communicating via voice, as well as a plethora of other things going on simultaneously on a SIGNIFICANTLY larger map than mentioned while maintaining 150+ frames per second is indicative of a much more efficient engine. Even the smaller ARMA 3 maps don't run nearly as smoothly as Battlefield. I'm not a fanboi either, just stating a fact.

To the geniuses clinging to the map size and draw distance causing the game's lag, a/ you're wrong, and b/ even if the draw distance was 2km, it doesn't need to be anywhere near that. Bohemia games have been laggy, unoptimized pieces of garbage since OFP. And to the guy playing the unoptimized card, this game will never be optimized if it follows in its predecessors footsteps, even after release. EDIT: Apparently combining b + ) makes a stupid looking emoticon wearing sunglasses for some reason.

Plays Titanfall at 150 FPS on Ultra. Plays Battlefield 4 at 150 FPS on Ultra. Plays Wolfenstein: The New Order at 150 FPS on Ultra. Plays Tomb Raider at 150 FPS on Ultra. Plays Insurgency at 150 fps on Ultra. Plays ARMA 3 at 80 FPS on Ultra. Plays DayZ at 30 FPS on Low. Bohemia Interactive titles working as intended.

I've been using forums since I was a kid for the past twenty years. People don't read stickied threads. It's easier to just answer their damn question.

And spelling, am I right?

Indeed, like making the game entertaining again.

You can regenerate your blood in less than ten minutes when you're energized and hydrated. I haven't bothered with blood bags since the mod. The small amount of blood they restore in the standalone isn't worth the inventory space.

Streaming helps grow the community, but at the cost of flooding the game with a bunch of halfwits that don't fully understand the point of the game. There isn't one stream I've found entertaining. I've never been able to understand why you'd watch someone else play a video game you yourself could play instead. It's like cuckolding for video games.

If you're absent-minded enough to pay for an alpha server in the first place, what's another few bucks? You're getting virtually nothing for your money. You can kick people and restart the server. You're better off just server hopping for free. Fools and their money are soon parted, i guess.

If you actually believe this guy will never play DayZ again after dying, you're just playing into his little attempt of attention whoring. If he said he was going to take his own life when he dies in DayZ, that would be both worthy of attention and a much better representation of permanent death. Also, this thread isn't about how I decide to play. You posted this topic to be discussed, and I'm discussing it.

I think this is lame. How is DayZ any more hardcore than any other [survival] game? There is no permanent death... when you die, you start over, like every other game in the universe. But yeah, totally brave. I laughed.

Just shoot him and be on your way. No need to come to the forums acting holier-than-thou for the sake of some beans. Why do you give a shit how he spends his free time? I've grown to loathe these types of threads.

This. /thread

If you can't figure out current zombies, good luck in the future when DayZ actually gets hard.

This post turned me on. 6/9, would fap again.

This thread is still going? Lol babies trying to defend why they combat log. Keep telling yourself you're not doing anything wrong.

Killing on sight does not make you a troll. Holy cow, what a bunch of babies. Even if a cheater kills you, so what? It's annoying, but it's gonna happen eventually anyway. What's the problem, you have to go find more equipment? That's the entire point of the game. Collecting stuff. If anything, blame BattlEye for being ten steps behind the cheaters and yourself for wanting to play a video game with assault rifles and shotguns where everyone lives in harmony.

Then don't play a game populated mostly by people who shoot what they see. Also, don't try to justify being a coward because you don't feel that other people are playing the game incorrectly.

Sound logic. Did you say this all heavy of breath to yourself as you typed it? There are certain things you don't do in DayZ, and combat logging is very near the top of the list. DON'T COMBAT LOG. Some might think I'm being dramatic, but I don't care. I've wasted many hours of my life waiting for someone to make a mistake after pinning them down, only to find they logged out the moment they took fire. That's equivalent to the guy in the war movies that ducks and covers his head in the trench while his friend is slowly dying ten feet from him, crying for his help. I wouldn't care if the realism was SHATTERED when it comes to combat logging by announcing that someone near you has logged out while taking fire as an admin message before striking them down with a bolt of lightning. Don't combat log. Ever. Die with honor.

If you're going to practice prissy gameplay, stop throwing around the fact that you're Canadian.

Title. They used to be fairly common at the random helicopter crash sites. Looted twenty or so now since the hotfix and haven't seen one.

I am aware of this, but thanks anyway. I just wanted to know if the Blackskull pattern still dropped at all.

Then go search jails and barracks. They spawn a lot of 20rnd boxes of 5.56 as well as 30rnd AK101 magazines. ;) As for the helicopter crashes, we found one just last night between Veresnik military base and north-west airfield. It mostly spawned glowsticks, some sunglasses and a couple of M4A1 magazines. Oh, and an FNX. Nothing noteworthy. I really want that fucking Balaclava! I looted one from a guy in Vybor a week or so ago and then died myself to an unfortunate mishap with the firstation in north-west airfield twenty minutes later.
