As mentioned Hangers, Radio Tower, Long Barracks, Jail Barracks I've also seen it in Super Market, Garages, Piano house, Orange Brick Building With Archway

Just FYI, Compensator currently has no function.

YES! beans

Go there to snipe. Doesn't spawn loot in SA

Totally agree, the CPU clearly is not bottle necking as it stays at a good 70% usage throughout the entire video. I get how cities require more draws and how that could reduce frame rate if the GPU bottle necked, but the GPU is not bottle necked in the video. The GPU usage actually drops which is the reverse of what I'd expect. Maybe it's just an inability on my part to understand but I feel that something else is going on here.

Just saw this interesting video that explores the psychology that develops in DayZ players and thought I'd share. I noticed the same thing happened to me when I first started playing DayZ. I wen from helpful stranger to murderous psychopath in just under a week.

Are we not alpha testers? Are we not supposed to test the game for glitches?

How can you programmatically determine if a player interaction is good or bad though?

Hahaha, I'm positive this will result in massive chaos and that's precisely why I want to go. Bet the server is going to be crazy hard to log into.

Bias and interest are not mutually exclusive. Haha, I noticed this as well.

Haha, no not really. Its not serious study, just an interesting video that seeks to discover why DayZ player encounters always turn to violence.

Who cares?

Memory can't move itself. Swapping textures in and out of memory should still cause utilization of either the GPU or the CPU because a processor must execute code to move memory. In the video, the GPU usage drops and the CPU usage does not increase. So what you're saying does not make sense to me. The system is doing less during these scenes not more which is not how it should be. Also the author of the video states that he is using an Nvidia GTX 780 which has 3GB memory. This should be more than enough to keep these textures in memory the whole time and so swapping should be pretty minimal. I'm not sure if the issue is engine related or something that the DayZ team is doing wrong, but if you run the same test in other games you do not see the same strange behavior.

Links please. I sometimes wonder if some of the clunkiness is engine related and therefore probably un-fixable. If so perhaps in hindsight the Arma engine was a poor choice.

I think it's a good idea to add the slider even though I've already adjusted it in the config. Its painful to constantly restart the game while honing down the correct view distance for your rig. Especially with that nasty log in timer.

We play a disc game called urban whihc is just frisbee golf with an ultimate disc and you establish your own courses. So you would say start here, pick some unique object to hit and set a par. All they would have to do is make a frisbee and you could play urban. Not sure I really want to play urban in DayZ though.

Not a bad idea. I'd simplify it to just a simple 5 star rating mechanic that everyone is used to. Each player can only rate a server once then display the overall rating and number of ratings.

My first player encounter was in elektro. A man came down the street holding a book and quoting from the movie "The Book of Eli" I axed him and took the book.

I have no trouble hitting with this sight. And the gun kills zeds in one hit. Try catching your breath before shooting. If you were just running around and your character is making breathing noises the bullets wont hit where the sight is pointed.

Identifying team mates during large PvP encounters is a problem me and my friends often run into. And sadly it usually results in me killing at least one of them :( Most well geared teams wear the same stuff and are hard/impossible to distinguish from one another. It would be nice if we could create and wear custom team armbands for identification. This seems like a tactic people would actually deploy in this scenario because combat is chaotic and disorienting. Nothing complicated, pick a primary and secondary color as well as an icon. Maybe make the armband craftable from rags.

Which is exactly why everyone wheres camo :) Bound to happen eventually but that's what makes it realistic. Teams that are good at communicating and staying together (like yours) might even try to intentionally wear the same color as another team they spot to confuse the enemy. This is exactly what my team wears as well... so you can see the issue.

I'd prefer if it was crafted from rags because they are easy to come by. As for how you color it, spray paint would only work if they added a lot more colors. It'd be easier on them to just add a dye kit that allows you to dye it to a color of your choice.

The problem with this is that once your character is fully geared you wont be able to see any of the character details like hair, tattoos etc. There is a quite a lot of variety in the clothing already but every one ends up wearing mostly green because it provides the best camouflage. Keeping track of your buddies works until bullets start flying and suddenly this happens: I think craftable colored arm bands makes total sense.

I'm assuming this is how bayonets will work. Really curious how much damage they will do

Hahaha... I totally over looked this. I was thinking a few simple icons would work and then I saw this and realized people would just arrange those icons into dicks and hate speech.
