q.S Sachiel

Hope so. Would support a NVG scope only though, but thermals are out of question no in my opinion. Unless they refine the stamina/dexterity system and they're heavy as hell, but even then... That said, most of the servers i've seen on my list are daytime only or perma-night. May change with shards. Also dupers...

Dude what? This is rubbish. You would have had to pay for the game anyway, irrespective of what console you wanted to play it on... You probably even paid a cheaper price for it than were it a gold release title. Funding a console game my ass you bought a pre release alpha.

60mil gross isn't even close to a low-med budget game. AAA titles have budgets rivalling and surpassing movie budgets. This isn't some 8bit indy game and they probably start around the several mil mark. It's already made a buzz here, and Dean/Marketing should be pushing it in their own insidious ways. Sony it seems, has simply accepted the game into the fold, rather than made a straight purchase it seems, so everyone's winning at the moment. Wait and see. edit: may have been talking out my ass a little. upwards of $20mil in '10, with a range between $20-100mil, people in '09 expecting xb/ps games to exceed $60mil into 'next gen' titles. sauce: http://vgsales.wikia.com/wiki/Video_game_costs http://gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/4518/how-much-does-it-cost-to-produce-a-major-video-game http://new.spring.me/#!/EdmundM/q/301489874349862452

Were you moving between HC and regular / experimental by chance? Shouldn't make any difference between HC and reg as your character is decided pre-load in but may help explain? Never had this, or the pantsless teleport to NWAF spawn :S

in one out the other

not quite the same thing, but https://www.google.com.au/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=lxrrU9HNK4uC9AXE1YGIBQ&gws_rd=ssl#q=fps+russia+g17+explosive

lol auto aim... i just assumed they mash the sticks with their palms an scream DIE DIE DIE until there's either corpses or empty shells everywhere. They'll need to take fairness and easy of competition into account when the hammer falls... My room mate bought CS.GO on mac and he plays with a trackpad. Being PC master race I scoffed at every part of that sentence, but i'm always up for a challenge. People are saying how are they going to do all this with only (x) buttons and I get that at the moment there's not too much problem with binding a button to press, Dtap or Hold or modifier buttons / combinations for tasks, and what i'd anticipate to be more context specific commands (ie: can only vault when running), but it will be interesting to see where they go with this. Taking arma 3 as a benchmark, there's like 15 stances you can have alone, then lean which brings you to 20something... I'd expect functionality like this to be culled or streamlined, and i don't anticipate some of the more finesse mechanics to be incorporated but who knows, maybe they'll even add VR or motion sensor support? (does Xbone/p4 have motion still or was that 'so last gen')?

I got no issue putting a bullet in the plebs if there is cross-platform play, as long as experience doesn't suffer. IMO it shouldn't be a bad thing. It does inject more resources if Sony's propping up cash to put the DayZ into it's repertoire of games, but this may be offset by the costs involved in developing laterally for PS4. Another issue brought up in the FAQ above, is that it should cement performance targets and deadlines, though this is most likely in response to the PS4 version, and is guaranteed to affect PS4 but probable to affect PC development: IF they're telling the truth, and DayZ is being developed on PC then ported to console, then these performance deadlines will be consistant and co-linear with the PC development (as PC development will come first, and then port steps made). IF PC ends up coming after PS4/console versions, then there is no impetus for the console deadlines/targets to have effect on PC, and the timelines won't be co-linear. It's still too early to tell at this stage, but there are no immediate worries that I see from this move. The most glaring issues that I anticipate are functionality changes/compromises for resource efficiency. EG: inventory system will likely need an overhaul (for console) to be useful. Could you imagine dragging and dropping 7.62 into your sks with console? While DayZ is in Alpha, and there is still a lot of change we can (may) expect to the UI and functions/systems etc... some changes may polarise current PC users, particularly if they appear 'consoley' or appear to be functions conserved across platforms. That said, again, you bought early access ALPHA... and all that goes with it. again IMIO from a business perspective, if the changes/recyclign of functions is not hampered by FUNCTIONALITY, ie: they work smoothly on both platforms, then PS4 fan/cas users won't care, XBone hardcores/fanboys may care but are unlikely to boycott for PC, and PC users won't give a rats. The group that stands to be most alienated by changes that are functional and smooth (hypothetically) are the Pre-release Alpha purchasers (you unwashed masses). Of course, if mechanics are changed for console or future developments emerge cross-functionally and DONT work or appear overly 'consoley' for PC, then that's an obvious issue. Interestingly, in FAQ, rocket does mention the hypothetical situation where a company may acquire DayZ/BI... what would be the chances of this happening I wonder, because from a marketing perspective I don't see why you'd bring something like that up to justify your point that PC will come first (but if by chance we were to be absorbed and PC got set back and it wasn't my fault ... ... ..). Seemed like a weird thing to say, and that's the only thing that pricked my lids.

Baby, catch me on the right side of the barrel and i'm smooth as milk and honey ;)

THE PANTS MAN you didn't say what type they were!

Maybe you're right. but 10 years after the apocalypse as i'm somewhat certain the timeline is supposed to be, I think people would be defending their territories pretty heavily. See someone you don't know: threat to life food & territories infection spreading. + fear, +animalism +starvation... sadism and psychoses aside, i'd expect it to be very dog eat dog, definitely not utopian as some may expect.

Haha, read this and pressed G while standing in a barn because just to see West of Vybor. Threw away a perfectly good AKM and i have no idea where in god's name it went.

SKS magazine: 10round 1 slot SKS box/stack: 20round 1 slot sks magazine loses, as it is half as efficient at storage capacity. M4 60round mag used to be useful for condensing 30round stacks into 1x60round stacks, but not sure if this can still be done and haven't held an M4 for a few weeks. I'd also like to see it take a little longer to reload from single loads, and it should take an extra second to cock the weapon once loaded dry. Also, not sure, but can you conserve the chambered round when reloading? ie: AKM 30 round fire 29 - last round chambered reload fresh 30 round do i have 30 or 31 in capacity, in the game, or does it just rip the chambered round out magically and bring me back to a round 30? Not safe practice, i know, but it should speed up reload time and allow me an extra shot. I still support a keystroke magazine reload process, as it *should* be an unconsious effort to get to your mag and put it in. You shouldn't be digging down to the bottom of your bag to fish it out and clip it in. Loading rounds in without mag in the case of SKS and Mosin, and chambering the weapon should still be drag and drop imo... BUT: although the game doesn't really put too much emphasis on organisation of pack (other than there is a moderate advantage to keeping your ammo in the upper part of your gear close to access of magazines and the appropriate weapon if you've got a large backpack and 'full' inventory slots to allow for swift loading of magazine/weapon, but if you wanted to restrict the keystroke reload usage, maybe have dedicated magazine slots in tac vest etc that aren't compatable with other item types, and can only be R reloaded from here? just a thought.

Never seen a longhorn or the new SMG + lever rifle. seen a press vest 2ce seen the scope that's similar to Acog only it's got the cumbersome dials on top and left side 1ce.

Easy A: he who is killed by snipers is bad at life and isn't worth the pinch of lead in his lung. In the absence of a meme: I don't always hit people sniping but when i do they're standing still. I hole up mostly in places where people are going to come to stop, not travelling through. Though i have hit a few runners out in Westside fields. The amount of people is see climbing ATC roof or Firehouse roof in places like Balota etc is ridiculous, or stopping to look for/pickup loot in Hangars in NW. if you see shineys, be like the crow: swoop in and pick it up (running with TAB open helps and hoover up the items as you run over them). If you're checking your reflection in that P1 magazine you're either toast in the first 2 shots or you're probably on your way - albeit slightly frazzled at my failure to hit you. organising your loot at the item (rearranging to allow for slots to accomodate new loot) checking your compass in hand reading maps otherwise standing in dangerous (frequented/loot heavy) or open areas: you're asking for a bullet and deserve a swift death.

i'd say that using a feature that's been button-bound into the software, alongside having a solid position to snipe you from (presumably with skill otherwise you'd be better able to kill the man) doesn't a glitcher/questionable player make. Dripping with sarcasm and what not, i get how the last post may have been strange. Duping is a straight up exploitation (or is it? tribes incorporated a bug/exploit into gameplay) but pressing your enter key gets you 3pp. If you want no3pp play hardcore and enjoy. Yes hardcore is a lot more fun but smaller server range etc... I always justified 3pp as pocket mirror, but it took imagination. just the same as the time it takes for me to get my main weapon. I like to imagine the character bumbling to untangle himself from the rifle strap while he gets shot by the assailant in berez. I don't think these features really need a graphic for them all. Imagination and exploring the alpha is where we're up to atm.

the zombies... are polymerising? mightymorphinpowerzombies? @ OP: did you exterminate them before they had a chance to organise and evolve their fellow zombiites?

I know. Legitimate players are hard to find. Back in WW1, people were found 'duping' these: These were a sure fire sign that someone was hacking. If you saw his little mirror glitching up out of trenches, you know that he wasn't just standing up and shooting at you like the rest of the brave souls. This man was exploiting an advantage! This man was a coward! Observing you from behind cover, through a means which you did not have! the nerve of some people! Look! here's a screenshot i took IRL of one of these bastards. Look at his callous disregard for the enjoyment of other players, exploiting like this... How dare he press his enter key! I bet his mates are having a good laugh at that fellow downrange. Bet theyr'e even talking over 3p VOIP programs too! Obviously the mods didn't care, look at this ultrahacked monstrosity! He can now fire from cover without even needing to step out of his tent! More worringly, we've got reports that there are now unmanned machines of death patrolling certain regions. Botters? IRL? How did they hack the source code? lots of thrown around words of realism and IRL in this thread. Makes me lel. The zebra doesn't complain that the lion has teeth. You don't see the diggers getting up out of their graves and crying about 'so and so had the one up on me'. if we're getting to the IRL argument, death happens. Complain or not, you're worm food and i'm going to take your shit however I want/can take it. Your tears will strengthen me until the Zombpocalipse arrives. But then Katana's already pegged this thread as troll or C1800s thread. TLDR: Cool pictures, Thread is lulz, people who make comments above quoted aren't addressing issue of snipers vs cowardice, they're complaining and upset that a player has an advantage over them.

arma 3 and dayZ have a lot of strange and quirky differences between them LEAST OF WHICH IS BI ARMA3 FORUMS WHERE I CANT POST A TROUBLESHOOTING THREAD cough

yup. My bet is it's like the M4 sound glitch where it would go brapbrapbrap but only fire one round and the other 2 anim/noises were just your gun ghosting the first shot. Haven't experienced yet, but +1 here.

because pig is unicorn. minimum for me is : start with shirt > rags 1x slot fire axe / splitting 0x slot on body rice 2x slot water canteen 2x slot matches 1x slot knife 2xslot optional weapon + ammo 0xslot on body + 1x / ammo optional navigational tools 8slots less 2 if knife is combat knife stored in boots. that should leave you with ~4 for ammo or meat or stuff without a backpack.

every time someone posts a 'why dayz is lacking x thread' in general, a zombie screams throughout chernarus.

You'll need to use the search engine for prim source, there are multiple of these threads and there was a dev release, but that may have been on twitter feed... but i'm pretty sure that devs said it's mostly due to animals ie: pig goat rabbit using a similar sound file as the zombie squeal/half water bottle/ammo combine as a place holder.

This. After namalsk and all the others on the arma2 mod (though some were just recast maps from the sp / arma) i see dynamic weather (seasons) and/or instanced points of travel to at least 4 new maps NSEW as being a seriously finished product. We can only hope

tbh tho helmet hasn't saved my life that i can see. Got 1shotted by mosin when i doubt i was showing much of anything else... worn motorcycle helmet plenty of times just to be harassed by knife/scythe wielding maniacs as they cut into my hands and feet. can't say that it's happened to me but i've seen some hoxton magic hillarious stuff on youtube to warrant wearing the bucket.
