I liked your video. I don't KoS myself as I think it ruins the game but I appreciate the effort to explain. I PVP a lot on this game. Its the most challenging and exciting thing about it and I haven't found a game that beats the feeling. But Kos Isn't that. KoS doesn't pose a challenge at all. You see a person and he doesn't see you, so you shoot him. Because its fun. The person doesn't get a chance to defend himself, mostly he doesnt even see his assailant and often he doesnt even know hes been shot. But for one of the two persons its fun. Imagine behaving like this in life. You wouldn't have a lot of friends. KoS has its role to play I guess but as I said I just don't see the challenge or the fun in it. But some people think its fun to kick puppies or torment smaller kids at school too and I dont get that either.

I agree. both netting and burlap are items that should be craftable. Burlap is just rough cloth, you should be able to use any type of cloth to replace it. Netting is slightly more complex but a couple of rolls of string should do the trick and since theres no string, rope. I've looked at fifty boats and found zero netting. They seem to spawn considerably less loot now as well.

I lagged off the construction site in Cherno while doing a flanking maneuver. And that was that. I met six people, not one of them friendly.

I had USMC woodland camo pants on a character that got killed today. Ive got a PIR optic on another one and have seen plenty of red dots for crossbow.. Havent found any netting anywhere but ive seen people with wrapping and ghille. Dont know how they got it though. Frying pan, cant really say. The assault vest seems to be out.

I liked the general feel of it and often people wouldnt shoot you if you had the bow out, since they knew it was completely useless.

I killed my first player with the IZH y-day. He was standing still, looting a guy he just murdered so it was an easy 150 m shot. Give the gun a scope and it could be good. I found some ammo for it earlier and was actually looking for a cr as I had a scope. I died shortly after, loosing the gun and scope.

I've noticed an increase in players since 0.59. Full servers can be found all day and night. The game unfortunately doesn't run much better than that right now. The new UI gives a few more fps but its real clunky compare to the old one so not really worth it. I run everything on high or very high and get about 30 fps in large cities with some slowdowns sometimes. I have seen 5 fps once. I believe it has very much to do with how much items are in the vicinity that the game has to render.

Ive never killed a player with the improvised bow and ive tried. Its utterly useless. Hopefully this will be better. The crossbow is alright I guess but the range of these weapons is really too low. In reality you could hit a target with a bow or crossbow at 100 m but the ones in game simply are useless beyond 20 metres or so.

Not game-breaking, just annoying. It'll get fixed during Beta for sure. Its not like gear is hard to come by. The only bugs I encountered while playing yesterday was items not being pickupable, legs breaking in the police station and some lag and desync. The sight is weird on the mp5 also but the game is pretty playable.

Lots of action today. I played for the better part of six hours with 7 or 8 different characters. I spent most of my time between Pavlovo and Kamy with two small Svet and Berezino adventures wehn I spawned there Met some friendly squeakers and a girl squeaker. Killed a punching bambi with a stick. Had to jump into the sea to get away from two punching bambis when my sword refused to do any damage on them. Got a kill with the IZH1 :D , a first for me. Sniped a few guys from the crane in cherno but was killed and yelled at by the admin or a hacker :/. The blaze with scope is a beast. Tried to take out an armed squad with my hockey stick but they just laughed and I got very lucky when one of them was going to shoot me and his AK clicked, I ran away. Spawned two times on Skalisty with the same character, grrr Broke my legs in the police station in Svet and had to roll around for the better part of half an hour til some friendly soul shot me. I had no knife and no bullets for my guns :( Saw my first FAL but had to run from it and died in a firefight with another guy. I also found a heli crash near Green mountain with some nice stuff: Irs optic, pistol suppressor, m68 smoke grenade red, never seen one before, no guns though. For once I didn't meet a lot of assholes, only one bambi trying to get my gear but I can understand him. And another one only talking russian.

It seems desync is fucking damage taken up quite a lot. Yesterday A guy ran right at me with no weapon up, I shoot him with my scorpion, we are both hit and die. Apparently he had a rak in hand shooting it but on my screen he did not. Later the same guy and his friend shoot me at least ten times with pistols and shotgun before i die. I also shot a guy point blank in the chest with a mosin but he lived long enough to spray me with his scorpion.

Not a single one in Cherno. And I've been there all day.

I also think the fly buzzing would be a nice thing, and bodies lasting for at least half an hour or so.

But, there are no risks involved. Its like drowning kittens in a barrel or kick old ladies in the back out in the street. Its not even fighting when you dont give people a chance. The only times A player like me ever get a chance to actually defend ourselves against this stupid behaviour is when the KOS:er is so inept that he either shows himself early or misses his shots. And I don't see the point of it at all. If the game is so uninteresting that you have to kill everyone you meet without even trying to make it an interesting encounter, why even play this game? Cant you at least pretend? I have played this game for about 1500 hours and Ive probably been killed at least 200 times. Very few of these deaths have been memorable but the ones I remember most vividly is the ones where my killers have actually made the whole act somewhat interesting, like the time me and two other guys were rounded up in a barn and forced to answer riddles to see who got to live. Totally sadistic and evil but fun. And another time a guy came to me in balota claiming his friend was beign held captive in Kamyshovo, the friend told his captors we were coming and they held him til we came and tried to rescue him together. Or the time I got to prison island and some guys kept a guy locked in a cell there, dressed in a prison uniform and all, lol! And all this was with people I had never met before but since they could do something else rather than just kill everyone they met the meetings became something special. If you look at videos on youtube from the mod these things seemed to happen quite often but now its just kill,kill,kill.

No specifik ones, just ALL the houses in the town I go to. For instance, the other day i spawned in Svet, theres was a murderer in the police station so i was forced to the outskirts of town. Found a makarov in the first house I looked and a pack of .308 in the next one. Then a kind english fellow showed me where there was a blaze in Olsha.

Its not exactly rare but since its random you might not find it when you need it. It spawns in normal houses so just check all of them. I usually have luck with the small red house with the door in the middle. I have not found one 1911 mag and only eastern suppressors since 0.59 came out.

This is completely wrong and one of the reasons why things are so bad that they are. If you don't like it, change it. It doesnt have anything to do with beating anyone at all as this is not really a competitive game. Theres no kill counter, nobody cares about your "Epic kills". Its about the adventure you as a player have while playing the game. And I'm not going to say that its not exciting to have a firefight with someone, it is. The most excitement you can have in this game is when someone is trying to kill you and you are fighting for survival. But just shooting everyone you see for no reason is not exciting. Its meaningless.

I agree, theres lots of asshats. Many times they are asshats for no reason whatsoever too which I cant understand. I saw a guy standing in a deerstand yesterday and thought he was dead so i climbed up. He wasnt so i checked his name, picked up a burlap sack and climbed down. he then comes to, climbs down and start punching at me even though i was a relative newspawn. I avoided him and asked what he was doing and told him to go play cod instead he stopped, apologized and wanted to run with me. No I said, so he went to the police station in Berezino and got shot, while I looted up and left. Stupid stupid. I later got shot in Elektro in a firefight with two very well-geared guys. I killed one :) A lot of newspawns are probably mad at getting killed and want to punch out the first guy they see for revenge. This is so utterly stupid that I cant even begin. And I feel that its gotten worse than before. Not many people are friendly and even streamers that used to be cool are just KoS:ing all the time now, making a bad example for others to follow. I can become very mad at times when I get killed when I dont deserve it but I never go ranting and raving about it or try to get my vengeance on the world for it. Better to just shrug it off, start again and loot up. Its not like it matters. Its just a game.

Theres almost always(75%) one at the deer stands.

I played on this server a while ago and met two guys in Chapaevsk. One asked Are you swedish? And when I replied Yes I am, he tried to shoot me. So very rude.

Wut? you cant find ammo? I find guns and ammo way to common as it is now. Yesterday I found at least twenty guns on my way from Berezino to Dolina. And ammo for at least five different types. How is this dull? what do you want, Large piles of fully specced M4's at the entrypoint of every town? I'd prefer it if the guns and ammo were much rarer so you held on hard to any gun and ammo you find, knowing there might not be another one. Nowadays when you go to the airfield you dont meet guys weilding a shotgun, chambere dpistol or crossbow. You meet fully geared guys carrying a FAL, SVD and AKS and tons of ammo. Thats what I think is dull. As for the IZ-H, If they only made it so you could fit the hunting scope(it has a rail) and possibly a bipod, but the scope is enough, it would suddenly become a contender. Its quite nice to shoot it but the single-action sucks big time. You die against everything unless you are sneaking up on people. The CR is a nice looking gun and looks even greater with the scope but I feel as if theres something wrong with it. I usually fire it single shot, even if I have a mag, as you can see where your shots land that way and almost always shots over 400 m miss. And its not that they go high or low, they veer off left or right. I've even had a guy in my crosshair at 150m , fully rested, holding breath and missed. I dont know how its possible and it doesnt happen with the mosoin, blaze or winchester. Even the SKS doesnt have this problem and fires the same round.

Omg, are you really able to run the game with that? Your cpu is way to old to cope with Dayz and its not the dual core or quad core that deos it, its simply a very old outdated architecture. Your graphic card is also quite weak. Look at the top graph: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+Athlon+II+X2+240 Your cpu is a the bottom and the cpu I have is at the top. There an enormous difference between them and Dayz doesnt run supersmooth even on my computer so it doesnt really stand a chance on yours. I would wait to play the game til its released if I was you, unless you can afford a new computer, it will most likely be optimized to be able to run with lesser specs later. You dont need to buy the absolute best there is but it would most likely cost you at least 1000 dollars/euros to get a decent one. As for the rendering distance you need to go into your config files to change it. C:\Users\yourname\Documents\DayZ\your_dayz_profile\your_dayz_profile.DayZProfile Set the following options : mouseSmoothing=0; – Optimal. This should help sort out mouse acceleration problemssceneComplexity=150000; – This number affects your object details.shadowZDistance=100; – This is the distance at which shadows are drawn.viewDistance=1600; – This number affects the distance view (trees, grass etc…).preferredObjectViewDistance=1000; – This will affects the distance that the objects will be drawn.

I'm not sure about that. Just look at the reviews. The absolute majority are one sentence reviews like "game totally suck balls" and the like. Only a few of the negative reviews are actually worth reading and most of those are FULL of errors. I've replied to a few but its pointless to even try so I won't any more. If people don't want to like this game, so be it. I must however bring one thing up. I found on the Dayz haters team forum a thread by a guy trying to put Hicks in a bad spot by trying to show how badly he treated him, even though you could easily se that what he was proposing was not true. I replied to some of the comments on youtube with pure facts and the responses were almost moronical. Check it out:

Theres nothing saying you wont get shot by him anyways, especially if you're on the coast, people tend to always run to their gear and try to kill their killers. I'm just suggesting that NOT killing every single person you meet just might make the game better for everyone. But you can do what you want, naturally.
