hah you look like a classic dayz hero :D

I miss the feature that displays the compass too when opening the map. Allowed for very accurate routeplaning. I still get where I want to end up anyway, but it was cool.

First, let me admit i haven't read the entire topic, but only two pages. The main problem I have with dayz is that promises are not kept. When Dean said at rezzed that we will have Fireplaces at the end of April in the worst case, this is obviously not happening. (even though I don't consider fireplaces especially important) Then there is some worrysome stuff. Like the Guaranteed Messaging System causing more lags and desyncs than ever before, even though it was believed that this would fix almost any lag issues and allow 100 man servers. Obviously didn't happen. It's still a horror to eat multiple Cans on a 40/40 Server. And closequartes combat is a nightmare, when people who received a hail of bullets still can walk for 5 seconds or even shoot back before they die.* I understand that such things (messaging system) can not be accuratly predicted, but it is still discouraging. Another rather discouraging thing is the new melee animations. Since they are ingame, melee has become worse and they don't communicate about this anymore in their devblogs. If that really is a "kinda finished" feature, it makes me cringe. I hope they still work on this. Another frightening and unnecessary change was the standardzoomchange to ironsights. Ironsight zoom was perfecly fine before, now it's a mess. So long story short: My concern is not that development is slow, or that I paid for this game, my concern is that the patching actually makes the game worse. Because I love this game!...still. It's good that they released it, now they have the money to make more out of dayz. *my most recent death as extra info: I shot someone in the back while he was walking past me. Right before I die, I see him turned around to me and his muzzle flashes...but is pointed to the ground. The gun was not even pointing at me, it was pointing on the ground because he walked casualy and not with "space" toggled on. So I assume that in his point of view, he long looked at me and got me into his ironsights before he even turned around on my screen.

Who are you to tell me that? :P We are reconsiling the issue via steam. He's reasonable and I didn't see the harm to just drop a oneliner there. I expected a similar sarcastic one-liner response. So chill, I didn't expect that everyone takes this somewhat seriously. Oh and you deleted my one-liner. Also I rushed to a conclusion which was wrong. Happens.

That reaction and your hat are priceless xD

Yea, how realisic, isn't it? :P Or taking a tiny bullethole into your pants, UTTERLY RUINING THEM BEYOND PATCHING.

Talk realism when a vanilla M4 can't hit a target thats 30 meters away with the first shot :P Nice alpha-apologist-bait. But yea...it's still a game. There's gotta be somethings to be balanced and simplified.

Can we drop that alpha bullshit every time someone highlights an issue? If we do not bring attention to issues, there is no point in the alpha. Fanboys go home. I experience the same issues, it's particularly bad in closequarters and massive desyncs since 0.44. (yellow chain in the bottom of the screen, actually affecting gameplay) like me being unable to see a player that is right next to me, or a zombie for that matter.

Left screenshot has no bloom, right one has.

This. Make the night lighter. If you argue with realism now I tell you that a vanilla M4 doesn't shoot straight even within 30 meters in this game. So don't get me started with that. Oh and Flashlight going through walls.

"Snipe zombies" eh? Okay. I'm talking about actual combat when enemy players aim at you from their cover. Quality of parts does not matter. It does not affect accuracy on any part and in any way, even on sights. Unless they are ruined. If they are ruined, they count as non-attached.

The zoom atm is too fucked up to use it really imo, its just too far away. The casing of the scope blocks my sight.. Atm preferring either acog or BUIS. BUIS because the circle is so small around the center of the screen, that you might aswell use that circle as crosshair. Has about the optimal size.

Thats the worst sniper ever that you are talking to there :P Also, the last guy who shot you with the M4, you could see him coming up the stairs right before you tried to climb down the ladder...and seriously, you tried to bandage you this close to an enemy o.O just bleed some. It's usually not too bad.

They masturbated obviously!

Good job, but awful enemies. They knew you had a mosin and didn't rush you.

xD chill man! its just a coast-life.

This. Its a gamey feature.

Why did you wussy away when your mate shot the yellow raincoat? You couldve picked up the gun after helping with the axe and engage them all or run for it. ..and the first thing you loot are damn BOOTs? omg,.,kind of entertaining anyway but that part made me cringe

weird.

Or maybe you just don't know that there is a logout timer, and when you log off, your character stays ingame for 30 more seconds, getting eaten by a zombie

Since the last wipe? What are you doing? Wandering the forests all day on a 3 man server? At this point there is no day where I don't see a hacker or pbo-file abuser. I can test if one of the guys who cheated and said he did so since 2 months got banned, i stalked their steam...let me see if i can find recent activity edit: 15? Are you kidding? O.o I'm usually on 30-40 players, never fewer. edit2: And I still had an encounter with a group of 7, on a 12 man server, of which one of them hacked. Also concerning that: thats probably a pbo-file abuser. How to know? He shot multiple times and you've been in perfect ccover from outside. Also he missed a couple times, why is that? because in his point of view you are floating in the air, but not smooth and steady, you're bouncing from time to time as far as 10 meters high. That's why he missed.

Maybe, ran into one the day before yesterday. He told me he hacks for two months now :/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxJkMnXVQj0#t=390 look at that shit ><

It runs smoother with 100 people on experimental than with 40 on stable atm. Also I have to loot a whole town just to get one guy armed and supplied with ammo usually. Loot is so abundant because we can serverhop and have frequent restarts. Also, starving shouldn't be a real threat, and it will never be when you can hunt animals and gather crops.

Ocassionally I get a "Dayz does not work anymore" error. Never had that on any other build before. I noticed that several people get it simultaniously on the 100 man server. Also sometimes huge FPS drops like a few patches ago, after a couple seconds it returns to normal...I believe. Other than that, nice FPS there :O

Well they kinda want it that way :D
