    Scariest Experience in DayZ

    Anytime I get shot in the face without expecting it, is pretty damn scary. Which is pretty much how I always die. That feeling when you see "I am dead" message, cannot be described. It is agony and fear, mixed with dissapointment and anger. It is a "agofeardissangerment".

    What do you want to see in .54

    My modest wishes are that 1st person mode receives some love. For example, lower the heavy porn breathing and make headbob less vomit inducing (yes, I know I can lower it in options, thank you:D ).

    Returning to DAYZ...

    Honestly, the can openers are pointless. You can open cans with any sharp metal object. Hell, does not even have to be sharp. I vote for 100% using any object to open a can. Just make cans rarer and put in "smash can" option which would spoil random percentage of the can contents. There ya go Devs, you should hire me as your "Common Sense Guru".

    Uniquely Bad DayZ framerate performance?

    @Dave Crockett I have similiar rig like you, only with r9 280x not 290x. I also have Dayz on the SSD. Runs like absolute crap. Thought it was my drivers, turns out it is not as all other games fly. And litteraly fly.

    The Bandit Challenge

    The Bandit Challenge. Btw I am a peacefull player and this is a training exercise. Let me explain. Rules 1.kill as many players as possible 2.play at least 5 hours per week 3.means and way of killing up to you 4.hacking and cheating of course forbidden 5.post your best results here Objective Track you sucess per each life of your character in game. For example, my latest score was 5 days and 7 kills. Average 2hrs per day. Moved around Elektro/Cherno. Purpose of this challenge Many people resent killing on sight to a point they stop playing the game. Hell, we even have a topic "So...KoS" with quadzillion posts of complaining and whining. In order for people to learn how to survive a bandit attack, they have to become the killer. Learn their ways and next time come back stronger. Improve their combat skills and become calmer once attacked in the future. The purpose of this challenge is to become better at surviving by getting into your attackers mindset. Disclaimer This challenge is by no means an invite to grief and disturb other players. All may enter and post their results. There will be sadists and there will be normal players. There may even be peacefull players who do not KoS usually (myself). My personal note I believe this would after certain time LOWER KoS as people would get better at surviving attacks and avoiding them. KoS is not forbidden by game rules, and I do not see this challenge being against any rules of the game or this forum. Peace out :P

    The Bandit Challenge

    I like your idea. Bit too complicated to keep track over longer time. But nice. Would give people incentive to being a "honest bandit". Anyway, the point is to kill and not get killed. All other stuff make you too vunreable and exposed to the chance of getting killed while doing (stuffing,torturing prisoners).

    Medical help in exchange for items?

    Basically you need only 1 of each med item to cure any condition

    Medical help in exchange for items?

    Good idea buddy. Although be carefull not to get lured in by bandits. Why not join a clan and play the medic role?

    Question about draw distance

    No engine could render grass up to 300 or 500m as some wanted to without severe performance drop. They need to figure this crap out somehow.

    A discussion on player mobility

    Not even God knows what the final product will look like. I still believe it will be something fantastic and that Devs are hidding most information for now. If it stays like this with little more items and ironed out bugs, I will be dissapointed.

    Do tents wipe every week?

    Mr. 8 posts :D I agree with you man, 1 year in and I gotta ditch all the crap I towed in my camp. Get fucking real.

    What to expect from Prison Island?

    Like dude, use the search function or just your eyes, theres the same thread 3 cm lower from this one

    What do you want to see in .54

    Working persistence. Cmon dudes, we want camps that last more than a week! Immersion+10

    So yeah, about that new Alcatraz island............

    I find it cool Devs made use of swimming. I see opportunities there. I felt genuine satisfaction sitting by the fireplace and looking back at the shore I swam from. Like it was an acomplishment to swim such a distance. Island itself is a KoSfest and of no interest to me at this point.

    Question about draw distance

    Arma engine is like a corner whore on a cold winter night welcoming at first glance yet dissapointing when you get to know her

    Gasoline revenge on bandits?

    Pouring gasoline in the bottle would for me be usefull to actually store the gasoline if there are no gas cans around. In apocalypse every liter of gas counts. I do not know who in their right mind would mistake gas for water (the smell hello). So the inspect button should most definately reveal the kind of liquid stored inside.

    What should I do in DayZ. Oh me oh my

    Find a gay lover inside the game and go off to live around The Prud, which is known to be gay friendly area. After a week post photos here of your mischief in white undies while using a fishing pole, rope and a boonie hat. After that we discuss further.
  21. I turn the lights off at night an hear random cans opening. But when I take my meds, I only hear them during day.

    So yeah, about that new Alcatraz island............

    Everytime they add a cool new location, some other place on the map becomes ghost town as players shift. Which one will it be this time? NWAF?

    Field of view

    Yes, I agree. Field of view is a real big problem. They better adress that shit ASAP. I can already imagine them having a meeting. Dev1: so today we start roling out true persistence and fixed tents to stable. Dev2: okay, whats the progress on the vehicles? Dev1: truck will be fully operational within a week. First choper on the way to experimental. Good news about Zed AI. We will roll out first AI changes next week too. -suddely, meeting room door slams open- -devs look in disbelief towards a man who was clearly running for a long time, trying to catch his breath- -it was Dean Hall- Dean Hall: listen to me god dammit...stop doing what you are doing...now...I came back to help you guys again... Devs: what...what do you want us to do?? Dean Hall: we need to get on the FOV thing ASAP. I brought 5 new programers from Facebook to help. Fuck Zed AI and helis. Fix that FOV! Now!!! P.S. ok joking but I agree with OP fully. They need fix it in a way that changing the FOV does not apply to in-scope vision. Thats it, simple :)

    The reason behind KoS: ?

    KoS reasons Fear, adrenaline, reflexes. Thats 80%. Assholes. Thats 20%. I do not know how many times upon encounter I have lifted my rifle to aim position by hitting space out of pure REFLEX STIMULUS! I never KoS by the way. Once you aim your rifle at someone, he does the same thing. Bullets start flying. No going back. It is all over in 2-3 sec.
