I hope you're right. Because looking at the charts alone, it makes me crazy. Gonna test this myself but so far i'm really sad. Oh the Lee Enfield, i loved it so much. Now, only half the damage. :(

I really hope Rocket does something about it. I don't know about the amount of "health points" or something like that on ARMA 2, but considering DayZ alone, the damage seems ridiculous against a 12000 amount of health points. 13 Makarov rounds! That alone just points that something is wrong. PLEASE ROCKET, give us our old weapon damage chart back. I don't care if any of the guns needed a fix or whatever, no one should need 6 AK-74 rounds to drop dead, that's what i think.

How it's more deathly now? Didn't it receive a 50% damage reduction, from 12500 to 6722? Can anyone please confirm if those are permanent changes? I wish this didn't happen, oh dear god. 13 Makarov rounds to kill a person now, how *realistic* is that - yes, i hate using that word here, but come on. Really?

Can anyone please confirm if the latest changes regarding weapon damage (http://dayzdb.com/ne...es-in-arma2-162) are permanent? At least i think this is a sad, really sad thing. I mean, those are guns. It doesn't matter if you're shooting a .50 or a low quality weapon, they WILL kill you anyway. Makarov PM Old Damage: 2000 New Damage: 889 Really? 13 Makarov bullets to kill a person? Just want to know if anyone has a link or something to confirm if this is a permanent change, or just something that was supposed to affect just ARMA 2, not DayZ.

Do you have it? It works like the binoculars, just press "B" (if you have them equipped) and point to a target of your preference. It will show you the distance to that target. It's very useful if you have a sniper so you can adjust the ZEROING properly.

If they asked for it i wouldn't mind giving a little contribution too. My money is ready for them to take anytime!

I'm PLAYING this game, and while i'm doing that i'm reporting in the forums every problem that i can detect in there. Maybe you have a different definition of "playing" in your planet. Greetings from planet Earth.

This would only work if the ENTIRE GROUP were spawning from the first time. After that it wouldn't be fair, they would have to walk to reach each other. That's what i think, anyway.

Where are you? We want to test you right now sir.

I was playing on a different PC a few days ago with a GTS 250, 4Gb RAM and an Athlon x4 CPU. It wasn't very smooth, even in low settings, and i had just formatted the hard drive with the latest drivers and everything. This game is very demanding, i hope you can find a way around this, and if you do, let us know!

This pistol could be a little stronger. So many shots to kill a zombie, except a shot to the head, of course. I had one once, but then i remember my good ol' M1911 and my Revolver, i love them.

Lee Enfield. Kills players with just one shot, and it can be pretty accurate in long distances! I don't really mind the noise, i don't kill zombies with it, just players. After you killed the poor guy, just move to a different location and you're all set.

Sometimes i can see the bag but i can't interact with it. Most of the time this happens due to some random item that is below the backpack, and i just pick it put to get it out of the way, after that i can see the options to manipulate the backpack. But anyway, either you can drop yours on the floor, get the new one and then retrieve your gear, or you can do as you said, throwing your stuff inside the new one before swapping them, this is also nice. Anyway, i hope these kind of problems can get fixed at some point, a lost a few good gear before when i tried switching bags.

Yes, from what i experienced before if you see another backpack and you want to pick it up, but you plan to get your items from your previous backpack, you need to drops yours first, and pick the other one. If you just equip the other one without dropping your current bag, it will disappear and you won't be able to retrieve your gear from it. That is a real pain, i can't imagine myself running such a long distance to get my stuff back. I'll probably respawn and let a zombie kill me to keep trying to get to a more desirable location. No way i'm running for 30 minutes just to get to the place i want. But in any case, if respawning over and over again was causing some server load and removing the respawn button can actually make things better, then i guess i agree with this decision.

You would be having a problem if your GPU wasn't running at 90%+ in a game like this. I struggled so many times running World of Warcraft seeing my GPU at 30% usage knowing that it could work a little bit harder to give me a better FPS margin. It is supposed to be running like that, AS FAR AS I KNOW, so i think you don't need to worry. Your FPS seems a little bit low, where did you test it? Arma 2 Benchmark? Try disabling postprocess effect in the menu, unless you already did that. I have a similar GPU (GTX 580) and i get 75 FPS on the benchmark running the game at VERY HIGH settings and 1920x1080 (the VERY HIGH preset, without manually increasing everything to top notch settings, just with postprocess effects disable).

I think a feature like this would only work if all members in the same group were starting a new character. Fresh start, no gear, just put them in the same place so they can start the game together. After that if they get separate they would need to walk to group up again. THAT i think is a valid feature.

I hope he doesn't switch servers and that you find him. Revenge is always a bitch, specially in this game.

THIS. Groups would be amazing. No need to be a fancy thing, maybe a channel specific to that group and some way to spawn everyone in the group together (that would be amazing due to the removal of the respawn button). I'm looking forward for this feature, if there are plans to implement it one day.

What the ...?

Just keep doing it until they find a way to make things better (if they change it someday). Everyone is doing it, you will suffer if you don't. Sad but true, bro.

What i think is that a HUGE amount of players adopted the kill on sight attitude. Maybe because they suffered from it a lot, or maybe because they got bored without nothing better to do after many hours of gameplay. So trying to stop that from happening or even trying to make it happen a little less will cause them to start bitching here and there, so a change will be very difficult regarding this matter, because let's face it, most people (MOST PEOPLE, not everyone) that think everything is fine the way it is, are probably doing this all the time. Due to the lack of cooperation and even reasons to cooperate, even i killed a lot of people on sight just for fun. Why would i even bother wasting 1-2 hours going to the NWAF getting better equipment knowing that i may get killed there for no reason? Where would i go with that gear? Sometimes i rather stay in Cherno with my good ol' Lee Enfield sniping people with my buddies. We need a reason to cooperate, we need that feeling of reward that the bandits get when they kill someone for giggles, when we are cooperating too. That's what i think, instead of adding features to punish this kind of attitude, we need to think about ways to promote team play and cooperation, THAT is what i expect from the game, just my opinion.

Did they fix the bug that was making us drop the backpack if we started swimming? Otherwise i would be scared to get a boat, i mean, assuming i would have to swim a little bit to get inside because leaving it too close to the shore would just make someone else pick it up.

I'm dying to see the "Hotfix Build 1.7.2.4 Rolling Update" thread. Damn, the waiting!

The blurry effect could probably be associated with the POSTPROCESS EFFECT, which you can disable in the menu. And how can you be sure the game is selecting the wrong GPU? Where did you get that info? Because let me tell you this, my friend has an ALIENWARE m14 with a GT555m and it struggles a little bit to run, even on normal settings.
