Make the zombies so strong that you literally die when attacked by one. Then put hordes of them in this game. And people will team up. Or don't buy the game. People, who do, are worthy players. Who think it is too hard - well, that keeps the unwanted crowd away.

I can't possibly imagine implementing that into dayz.So, no. That would be ridiculous. That is not WWII

How exactly would you disarm one with bayonet?
-
Nah, better put a low profile patrolpack (just for the looks, shouldn't be any bigger or smaller than hunter backpack) in there.
-
Turn down contrast a little and sharpening. Cool shot.
-
No to all limiters or marking any players differently than others by game. That is silly. Douchebags are part of the world and will be part of the game. Deal with them in same way you would deal with them in real life.

Usually those titles only mean something if they are given to you, not self-claimed. Some useful stuff there, though. Don't tell me we are stating to teach people how to interact...

What's your Favorite Weapon right now?
SGT. Kalme replied to Bear Appeared's topic in General Discussion
I just stick to M4 because I am all about CQC. If I get shot from long-range, I am going to evade or get close to them anyway - depending which would be possible option. Haven't needed to do it so far. Zombies die through the blade of machete. -
Would you like DayZ on Console?
SGT. Kalme replied to GhostSlayer (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
The octa-core APU was strictly a response to a person who claimed PS4 had some old dual-core CPU and some other dusty old hardware. This is quite powerful considering the low power consumption and cost. -
I suppose I could find a use for rangefinder. Ghillies should be craft-only and it is not like you can make ghillie suit out of camo clothing and leaves only. What will hold the leaves on your camo clothing? good will and hope? It is not really hard to hit targets with mil-dot scopes so rangefinder wouldn't make it much easier. Should be civ-grade stuff though.

I want that Sa-58. Was my favorite weapon in mod along with M14 :(

Would you like DayZ on Console?
SGT. Kalme replied to GhostSlayer (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
That would be pretty damn bad if they ported it to console considering RV Engine optimization. It has octa-core APU so not that bad. Keeps up with mid-end gaming PC. But we should see before how the end result will turn out. Engine is buggy already, it they can't do significant optimization to game to work along with the RV engine, it would be pretty damn sh*tty port. Take PS4 and PC running windows. They have different APIs so they can't just put it on a console and call it a day. Different APIs work differently (look at DirectX and Mantle - last one they want to implement for consoles as well to make game developing easier and lower the costs but new DirectX with low-level-access will likely be on xbox only which wouldn't solve the problem entirely). Right now they have to basically develop two games side-by-side, one for console, one for PC - usually console comes first so they can optimize it for mediocre hardware that those use and then port it over to other API like DirectX. This takes lot of time, work and money. Hence, right now taken that RV engine is not optimized for consoles, porting it would be possible but the optimization even worse. -
What are the cons of having higher Field of View
SGT. Kalme replied to crazyandlazy's topic in General Discussion
ballistics. center is center. if you shoot to 400m range with 400m zeroing then it hits the center. to 700m distance, 700m zeroing. If you are interested in measuring distances with mil-dots then at high FOV, the calculations give wrong results. -

SGT. Kalme replied to crazyandlazy's topic in General Discussion
Correct, the mil-dot scopes are proved to be inaccurate when you are using too high FOV for your resolution. -
I'd like to see gameplay that has little more serious approach. But it shouldn't be only about sitting in forest, neither sitting on a hill killing people randomly. Like survival while using all the options for movement, looting and mechanics but same time not getting killed by first coast-hugger. That would be fun. There are enough hold-ups, campers and that stuff on YouTube already.

SGT. Kalme replied to crazyandlazy's topic in General Discussion
Neither do you need 3 screens. I play on one myself. Thought about getting two extra but the gain is not worth the money. Also, resolution that high, performance will suffer. 95 degrees is good for me, distortion is not so bad and can see stuff around me. Though I usually play in 3rdP. I have my left ALT key broken so I am not using the free-look for now. Hopefully will get it fixed before I can return to SA. -
Do bandits really exist on DayZ Standalone?
SGT. Kalme replied to TheModernGamer94's topic in General Discussion
I stay away from people if possible. Once in awhile, I do interact with a player. So far, two of them were friendly and two logged when I told them to put away weapon and calling them out for interaction. Didn't kill them though, didn't feel the need to. My friends are more trigger-happy but I manage to hold them back when I stick around with them. Mostly because in mod, we were all filthy bandits that traveled all across the map and hunt people down for fun and sake of it. Rarely do I need others gear so robbing people would be out of my book. -

Because you can see wider area, of course. If you are playing on 3 screens, you can have very high FOV without proportions being distorted. -
Best game ever made

Does Dayz Standalone have the worst zombies in any game ?
SGT. Kalme replied to gibonez's topic in General Discussion
I think that too. -

The QHD and Touch feature are not worth the premium. And for the FPS drops, much more powerful desktops suffer under 20 and below FPS issues in cities so 30 would be pretty optimistic. :) If you have that option available then take it. XPS series are overpriced commonly. I looked around in two Australian PC stores and neither had a better laptop for cheaper on sale. There was also some Toshiba gaming laptop that I just read about from Maximum PC. I don't know if it fits your budget in Australia. THat 256GB/860M is good though, what CPU will it feature?
-
No, I did not say it will stay around 30 in cities. It might but likely you are going to suffer under the same drops as everyone else (down to 10-15 if unlucky, 15-20 if lucky enough). There is not much you can do about it though.
-
I am quite positive that you will get more like around 50-60 FPS in wild areas. The FPS drops in cities are not limited to hardware though, everyone experiences them to some level.

The hell with the IEDs already.... No. What are you trying to re-enact WWII?
