Best post in this thread, I have to admit

You are not reading carefully, I said the opposite thing - I don't care about realism. I said that it is a valid case that no AKMs are present; some generals would send troops to secure affected military buildings or to recover weapons and then leave. It is a little harder to understand what I am saying. There could or could not be AKMs after the apocalypse. Either case is valid. I was saying that the story of DayZ could be made by us, depending on us. Again, AKMs could be or could not be there, and we don't need reasons to accept this. Majority of players want it so...

You cann't imagine an apocalypse so what are we talking here is how the story could be... Cernarus is the whole planet?

Someone here ever played STALKER with Misery Mod? It's hard right? It's realistic, and I like it. But there is something different with it. You don't play 1 month to find and MP4 or AKM with mags etc and you don't lose it in 1 second. Nothing is wrong with full auto weapons, but the story of DayZ could be something different if the community would want it of course. It's my humble opinion that different atmosphere can be created just by tweaking some factors like this.

Another obsession for reality/realism, but if I start to enumerate how many things are not real and will never be in DayZ (because they can not be)... Anyway, I understand your point of view, thanks...

I agree too that zombies is more of an inconvenience for the victim rather than the killer. And now in 0.55, players will move even slower in order to be stealth, it is very easy to kill such players and then run from zombies....

just buy at least 3200 DPI mouse and lower sensitivity to 0.121... from the file settings and you will be amazed how you can compensate for the weapons sway.

I guess there is always even more to learn and we learn from every PvP experience. By the way, first time when I got my hands on an AKM was from a killed player (with my FNX) in Balota tents.

you are retard

I said almost nothing about me or my play style and expectations are from the game not from the others. When fully automatic guns come into play, wins the one who sees first. No warning - missed bullet hitting the wall. If we are speaking about a game that is not counter-strike and you DO lose all when you die and you are still obsessed about this realism of dieing in seconds, that is your point of view. EDIT I play many different styles...

I know what is .55.... Go stealth, see a player (walking slow and stealth too) you hold left mouse button for 0.8 seconds and you spray to death that player. You can kill him even running at full speed. That is full auto...

You are right, but what if the "gear" you have on you is just survival tools and items and you are going fishing. Ofcourse you take the shotgun with you for self-defence. Now I hope you understand that there are different styles of playing and different expectations with this game.

I have to say another thing. Enter an abandoned house, where grass is everywhere and you find a dusty ABANDONED weapon that you have to repair or clean first - with oil. Then go out through the open door, then sudently and MP5-K or PM73 RAK fires at you. You people really don't see the contrast? I like weapons in this game like every one of you, I would not play the game if I would not find a weapon, I like to pull the trigger, but can't you see the contrast I am talking about?

I am very curious how can you imagine a real world situation? Have you ever experienced something similar? Russian army just died and all the AKMs are there? Then as I said, we survivors should all have one. I sugest to stop the "real world" comparison, this game can become what we all want it to be. What if the russian army just left from their military buildings but taking AKMs with them?

I am not standing in the midle of a town, but even the best of the best soldier in real world could not defend alone by himself in city. This is for sure and you are not reading my post. I said that this IS realistic. The problem here is that you want a single game combining survival and Military simulation. What you are telling me is that I must not enter alone, or not enter at all in large cities. What? In a russian abandoned land? Populated by zombies... Survive more carefully? - this is bullshit. I already told you I live long so I am careful, I shoot people and they shoot me. Tell me if you or anyone here cand go in and out of a city where 3 players are hunting with AKMs. And tell me that you succesfully do this 10 /10 times. "Getting rid of all traces of full automatic weapons would be completely unrealistic and stupid" You are obsessed by realistic games. Missing automatic weapons is not unrealisitc nor stupid, it is just another type of game or another point of view. Depending of the "director of a movie drama", the survivor could travel all the russian land and never find an AKM. As simple as that if you understand.

well yeah, If I will encounter a player with such a weapon once in a two months, let's say that it's good. But just knowing that when this is hapening is death for sure, what can I say...

Fully automatic war weapons should be available for mods of DayZ like "DayZ global offensive"

I tell you that my last two deaths were from auto weapons. I usually survive long time (months), and play a lot every day. Many time gun shoots were fired at me and I always have a chance when running. But when full auto weapon is firing at me, I have no chance even when sprinting. AKM are so powerfull in real life, as I said it is very realistic that you have no chance in a town when some soldier with AKM is hunting you. What is this game about? Is it Arma or is it DayZ? Why "every" patch comes with a new machinegun?

No, the game does this automtically but you should know that the games considers i3 as dual core so cpuCount 2. I force it to cpu count 4 because of 4 logical procesors (hyper threading). It was intensively tested by me and fps is more stable with this setting.

Is DayZ affected by "Enhance mouse pointer precision" setting in Windows? Every forum on the planet will tell you to disable "Enhance mouse pointer precision" because this is the mouse acceleration. Yes it is, but this acceleration is for mouse pointer in Windows desktop. Usually games will capture the mouse by processing WM_INPUT or using DirectInput API (this is raw input) when controlling the camera in game (1st or 3rd person) and will apply the in-game sensitivity. For game menu or inventory usually will use the windows mouse sensitivity from control panel by processing the WM_MOUSEMOVE. From what I have seen so far I am almost sure that this is the case in DayZ. Can some expert confirm please, I would really like to know.

You all are just estimating, it is very hard to notice small fps improvements, where in Elektro? Looking in what direction? One degree left or right and your fps already is changing. For me, since 0.54 first and the second (hotfix) things are worst, because I no longer use cpuCount=4 and exThreads=7. Even on i3 with hyperthreading these settings gave me a boost and stable fps in cities. Some extra threads is not too much for Intel hyper threading - it really matters in many cases.

Roll back to 0.53 please!

The more energized you are the less weapon sway. Is this true? I know that you can rise the energy level even more after "energized" status is displayed. I think that when you are very well energized you can run longer distances and the weapon sway is still very small after run. Am I wrong or there is a connection between how fast you start to be tired and the energy level. Is this implemented?

This sounds like a bug.

Natural blood regeneration will definitely need a message or status because of the long time needed to completely regenerate the blood - something similar to "healing", like "regenerating blood"
