I don't think DayZ SA will ever be anything similar to train wreck, that WarZ is. Don't forget it's backed up by Bohemia Interactive and although their games tend to be buggy, they also tend to be great and in no way mainstream garbage. Some people should just stop playing/testing DayZ SA alpha and wait atleast for beta version. Yeah, it's not gonna arrive before end of this year, but it would stop some people having their Jimmies rustled so much.

The damage system is probably unfinished as of now. You can get shot 1x in the chest which can result into: ruined tactical vest and items in it ruined jacket and stuff in it and some of your stuff in backpack can get ruined too. 1 shot should not do this except if it was .50 cal or RPG B)

Tha'ts "very" relevant to the patch notes :rolleyes: . Btw if they started running after hearing russian accent, then it's rather normal reaction :thumbsup:

Not sure if you are serious? First, I haven't noticed much of an advertising done by Bohemia Interactive. Second, this game is made for fans of zombie apocalypse in general and since it is situated in the fictional post-soviet country modeled based on Czech republic, it really does not make sence to americanise it. Still it is alpha, so I hope that later we get all these AK's, Dragunovs and other eastern weaponry and that M4's, Magnums and other will be noticeably more rare. EDIT: Part of DayZ mod's charm was it's eastern setting, it should transfer to Standalone as well.

I wish for Samopal vz.58. Uses same ammo as AKM (7,62x39), but the magazines are not compatible. I think it fits the theme, since its czech AR from 1958. Personally I dislike the idea of DayZ SA having all the new and fancy weapons, that so many people wish for, but that is just my opinion.

Weird, normally we are not getting new experimental until the old one goes to stable. It would create strange situation with two experimental builds at the same time. edit: So I thin we woun't see anything until current experimental goes to stable hopefully on Friday.

I'm 100% against armed helis, but if they put in unarmed one and maybe allow folks to shoot from open doors, then I would'nt mind. Also as folks said, it should be quite hard to repair and maintain a heli as well. What about a number of helis per server? One or two? More, I feel, would be just wrong, what do you think? And yeah, the feeling when I was driving a car and heard sound of heli approaching....that surely made my blood pressure go up every time! Only problem with heli was, that you could not hide anything from them...no tent or vehicle was safe from everseeing eye of a helicopter.

Friday it is then! Just hope bugs in 0.37 experimental will not make it into stable.

Yeah desync is a big problem in experimental. Hopefully those problems will not leak into stable.

Pretty weird you just did not log off like usual O_o. But I get it, you did not feel like going shopping heh.

Don't forget about what nazis did there as well. I'd say these folks suffered quite a lot in past 70 years or so, they deserve peace wouldn't you say?

I have spent few hundred hours of playing DayZ mod and had a blast most of the time. To me it seems OP does not understand this game at all. People expecting game to give them "quests" and "waypoints" or "leveling up" will be dissapointed.

If you set scene complexity too low, dont be surprised, if you suddenly cant see players at distance. On the other hand, playing with low FPS is pain anyway, so I can understand some folks are resorting to this.

I wish I had magical crystal ball and could see, how the DayZ SA will look like at the end of this year (hopefully in beta). I think & hope, it will be so much better in every aspect, which is kinda logical, when they are working on this.

In my opinion (I might be wrong), this is where you are wrong. In this stage of development, there can not be anything like balance, because they are adding new stuff, changing stuff, breaking and fixing stuff and such. I agree, that once game is in beta, it would be good to see less of military stuff and more of civilian one and ofc crafted weapons (bows, spears etc).

I'm not sure that is completely true. Sandy Bridge (3rd gen) was released in 2011 and Arma 2 was released 2009. And as we know, DayZ SA uses modified Arma 2 engine, supposedly it's modification from Take on Helicopters and that was released by the end of 2011. So if anything, Sandy Bridge should have been "the intel" for that game, based on engine. Btw I'd say that Hashwell is more like 5th gen, when we have Nehalem, Westmere, Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge and Hashwell. Oh and I've got i-7 4770K (not yet clocked), 8GB DDR3, Radeon HD 7870 2GB and yes, the game should run smoother. In big cities I can have between 20-40 FPS, outside 50-60, when looking at ocean or sky 130 O_o. Love the game and sincerely hope they will add more optimalisation and that cities will stop running bad. They have mentioned something about too many proxies causing FPS drops in towns and that they want to fix that, so yeah, I remain optimistics. If they pull it out, I could enjoy DayZ SA with more of my friends, because not everybody has expensive PC. TL;DR Love Arma and DayZ, but optimalisations are still needed I guess being in car is more demanding overall. Usually I'm infantry man and on ws wastelands I really can enjoy good FPS most of the time. But yeah, the optimalisations are far from being done I hope.

I'd say that hugely depends on server. Also when we played coop mission in 5 people, I was having nice FPS around 50 and we were fighting lots of npc's. Oh and some wasteland servers runs rather nice even with 50-60 folks. I think those were ws.arma.su versions of wasteland. I'm not saying Arma 3 does not need more optimalisations, I'm saying it's far from doom and gloom of your post, so there is a hope for DayZ!

Yea that was good times, but I did not like those unrealistic quick respawns. I'd rather see all of the available zombies roam that area and only respawn after some longer time or when players leave the area. But yeah, the mod was harder because of the constant flood of zombies, you could not kill them all.

I belive because of this. It was definitely glitched, not fiting your char and when put on ground, it didn't fold as the other vests do. So don't be affraid, this vest should return back once fixed. And yes, more black clothing would be nice, some of them should be pretty rare. Btw black balaclava would be ultra cool although not so fitting for friendly player obviously :D.

This dead horse is still being beaten O_o. And yes, please make one of these threads sticky, so folks can indulge there without creating another useless topic.

Hmm found boonie hat, game seems a tad smoother, but sadly the bug, where you are invisible is there. I mean the one, where your body can be seen stuck somewhere while you continue moving further, but nobody sees you (only the stuck body is visible). Very very annoying but yeah, that's experimental branch.

To totally remove guns would be , sorry, plain idiotic. Also even wanting something like this, in alfa version, which is clearly not ballanced at all, with minimum of features implemented, is rather short sighted. I kinda believe that once in beta, we may see guns and ammo being generally more rare, thus forcing people to run around with bows and "hoes". edit: I feel like I took troll bait O_o.

Dont tell me you got leather jacket?!! The holy grail of all lootz!

After I will finally find leather jacked, I will need sawed off shotty!

Op is either "speshul" or plain troll. Either way we should ignore his ramblings.
