1. Don't try to run around/sidestep them, that's the biggest mistake you can make. 2. Face them and naturally try to hit their head, easy for example with small axe. They stagger and can't hit back then. 3. It's pretty much impossible to avoid getting hit at once so don't be afraid or panic if you take couple hits. You don't die from couple of hits. The grey screen is just too cary/annoying. 4. You can always run away and loose them.

If people are shooting fresh spawns even in experimental, the PvP is far from dead. 3PP doesn't kill PvP at all, it just changes it. The game couldn't be more PvP than it's now. Atmosphere and difficulty are far from what's planned and PvP atmosphere will naturally change with those.

But it's only just a $10 difference in a $1700 build. If you're on a $600 budget then I can understand very well.

http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?166512-Arma-3-CPU-vs-RAM-performance-comparison-1600-2133-up-to-15-FPS-gain Watch very closely this picture: Compare 4.3GHz 2133 9-11-10-31 to 4.9GHz 1600MHz 9-9-9-24. Same fps but the other CPU is overclocked 0.6GHz more with lower MHz RAM. So do you prefer to spare $10 for better RAM sticks and run your CPU that 0.6GHz lower and maybe squeeze out even more fps? If you're buying high end $1700 then you should have that $10 to buy much faster RAM. It's not a big difference For example http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f32133c9d8gxl The difference can be pretty big for a small thing.

Trucks and tents are in, so is hunting, fishing, cooking and horticulture. It's worth of couple hours, watching the map changes and test new things but not IMO worth of really playing the game yet other than few days maybe. Many changes, new places and items since the beginning but the game is still an alpha. Though some (pretty many) people can play this game for thousands of hours even in its current state so hard to say if you enjoy it as much.

Wellies and balaclavas really show that they haven't thought enough of some of their earlier models. Hats are likely too thin and/or close the skin. Wellies are too phat because they clip through or pants aren't enough skinny, or pants aren't enough phat and floating so wellies could be under them without clipping. I guess we will see many replacements because of some cliping issues and that time dev team has think some categories better what should be under/middle/topwear.

Better change your style and attitude. Walking will likely be pretty normal in the future. I've walked the "winter experimental" and believ me it's not that bad. Makes Chernarus feel like real.

I wonder if you even heat up if you just walk with that ghillie suit? Has anyone tested? So going slowly could be an option. Then there's dipping yourself in water but you could imagine how heavy the suit feels after that...

This kind of topic could be a nice thing. At least make some topic where people can post if they find duplicates, solved, related etc. stuff so admins can easily find those. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?178003-Feedback-tracker-administration It can help a lot for admins to clean some of the tickets.

3rd person only works for those games that are designed for it fully like Gears of War or in games where it doesn't really matter that much as som RPG games where you play against AI. You can always throw a "play how we like" arguments even for hacking... It's a design and gameplay thing the devs want now to address or play with. Some games don't have 3rd person or has their own kind of 3rd person because EVERYONE knows it's easily exploitable and can even clip through. You've to remember this isn't Arma anymore and in the end the dev team can go the way they like with the 3rd person so it would fit the game or make how they like it. That doesn't mean something like the "fourth wall" solution but just a view that fits the world. Though that occulsion culling or simply removing 3rd person are the only way to "fix" the view from exploits. Playing with different view points can ease it but never fix anything. My opinion has always been to simply remove it so there's no player base split and one more variable for the countless other rules that will (likely) come. And then just address more in the first person immersion. And what comes to 3rd person, lower and closer like in GoW and RE4 is cooler looking. Just like in the OP it brings things in scale better. Swithing from left to right might be a cool thing. I'd say maybe lower it bit more but it's hard to say from that picture what the view really is. How about making them both better?

Maybe zoomthe view bit closer? But yeah hard to say anything without a video or more demo pics. At least down and closer should be bit better for immersion because people need to get surprised by zombies even in 3rd person.

I like that look more but still doesn't really solve anything.

This was so close one day. That cow was chased by some zombies couple minutes before the screenshot. It passed me with some zombies that came after me. After getting rid of those I went to the direction where it was heading and I saw that. That must've been the killer cow!

Public server renting should be locked so no new admis and hosts for a while if at all is even needed. Then those bad servers could be banned and admins can't ever host again. This way there shouldn't be any of those bad servers left. Let's be realistic the game doesn't even need the amount of public servers. Too bad that BIS has likely a deal and money involved so they won't lock server renting for public hive. Private ones can do whatever they want...

It should be done that you can have only one on your back and you can change between the one on your back and hands or if you want to take something from your backpack etc on your hands when you have something already on your hands and back then the one in your hands is dropped. So one back slot for any kind of weapons is my suggestion. When you want to do something you just need to drop the other weapon on the ground like in real life, then you drink, craft or whatever after that pick it up again manually. We just need more reliable item dropping system so it always drops on our feet and not 500m behind or through some object.

Awesome news! Good that you're cooperating with Sumrak. Maybe he can bring those EMP Stroms and maybe even some Bloodsuckers or similar stuff later? I loved those but veeery few servers ran both of them on... Well if infected get slowed down when they've run for some time, I hope stamina system on players will balance this so it's not too easy to run away from them and with heavy equipment impossible. 50 different looking infected! Man gotta love that variation.

As long as thirsty, hungry and stuffed don't have any negative effects then you shouldn't be afraid those at all. Just build up and in a long term you should achieve energized and hydrated.

Aaaah mosquitos. One of the reasons why I hate summer. I've: - Passed out in a forest and beign bitten by over hundred of them in a small area until I woke up in a terrible hangover. Thank god I didn't have anymore skin showing under my clothes - I've had one stuck inside my ear for 30 mins. I got it out alive by myself but it was freaking unpleasant to hear something flapping wings inside my ear and not knowing if it's just going deeper... - Naturally there are countless sleepless nights inside a tent or a house that's door or window was forgot open. About the in-game sound. It's nice to have them back again. They're not too loud and I liked them in Arma 2. Feels like home :D

Max 20m with double barrel. Someone tried to sneak behind and come to hit me with an axe. He really wasnt too sneaky fella when he's running in the open. North Berezino when there's no buildings anymore.

Prototype is likely far from the release.

Have you defragged your HDD? Could be also that HDD is running slow and there are too many fragments. And verify your DayZ files. Also is this in Stable or Experimental?

And the Forum button is back :)

Umm what he's talking about works on both 1st and 3rd person. Also Fov in 1st and 3rd person is the same, 3rd person is just more behind which can quickly look like you get more fov there. Or the keyword ADS is what I don't understand. But I guess it means aim down sights?

Well the second last one looks more from DayZ and even the other ones could be taken from DayZ. And those are from the current renderer. Nothing different how things currently look like. It's just the right time in the right lighting.
