Woo! Thanks OP for the quote :)

We are in alpha and these kind of things need to be tested, so I think just go for it and let's see how "game breaking" these are. I don't think these are game breaking but give nice little challenge to survive against the environment like this game should be.

This was somehow hard to find but here it is. http://i.imgur.com/NUdm4.png

Even shift+click is removed in some servers but I believe that most servers have it.

This sounds nice. Ok 1-800 is too big cap but something around 50-100 minim. and 800 max. sounds good to me. ///Oh now I found that it doesn't play well with these additions...: [NEW] - You can no longer to eat/drink within ten mins of eating/drinking. [NEW] - You can no longer regain blood from cooked food for 1 hour after eating. (ie spamming cooked meat to regain hp) So it's good that they removed it. Maybe some cap like 400-800 is good then.

One day I was wondering on north hill of Stary Sobor, the one that got deer stand. It was pitch black. I got M14 AIM, ALICE pack, M1911, grenade and some food and medic supplies with me. I climb on the north side of the hill to the top and moved crouched south. Then suddenly I heard someone eating beans and some foot steps coming towards me. I said "Hey friendly here!". Well you can guess what was he's answer on that. Full 30 clip from a rifle BUT he only managed to hit me once or twice. I quickly retreated behind a tree and shot some covering fire in panic. Only thing I could see were the muzzle flashes that came from him. I threw a grenade and started to bandage myself because I was very low on blood. Then I stand still for a minute or two and my heart beat was like 200. I heard him running somewhere but couldn't see because of the darkness. Well after waiting minute or two I decided to retreat back to north on the downhill because only way to spot him is the horizon. I went prone about 50-100m and set myself under a bush. I waited about 10 min until I hear some footsteps somewhere near me and saw a flash of him but couldn't get him on sights. Laying still, using alt to scan the horizon and pushing my gun on the ground as much as possible for another 5min and I heard footsteps again. I heard again he was coming towards me and then I saw him he was running crouched but stopped 10m away behind a tree and only thing I saw was his gun. I knew that he hadn't spot me because he was watching somewhere else. I raised my sights on him and started to wait for him to move out from that tree. 30 secs later he moved just bit so I could see his body fully, I counted on three and opened my M14 AIM five times and I saw him dropping down. I knew that I had kill killed him but I waited five more minutes just in case before I went to loot the corpse. This is the time I was shocked. He got everything what you could possibly want, L85 AWS, NVG, GPS, PDW, Coyote pack with AS50, lots of magazines, food and drink. I was just thinking how the hell he couldn't get me with this stuff because it was pitch black. I of course took all the fancy stuff and buried him. After that I ran about 1km north and successfully disconnect thinking that it was the most amazing PVP encounter that I've ever been where I was totally underdog and it took 20 min to win that situation. I checked IRC and saw the same guy posting that he lost all the stuff, I asked was it him that I fought against and found out it was the same guy. This is why I love EXPERT servers with 24h day cycle and always will!

I don't know what are the chances to that but I'll guess something 0,00000000000001% because so many people including me have used TS, Mumble, etc. overlays for years in Arma 2 without a ban. I believe that the same odds are in every other good Anti-cheat programs.

If tent storage is removed or nerfed supermuch in the standalone I'll be very happy!

Do you afraid getting banned using overlays in BattlEye or VAC? I never had a problem in BattlEye nor VAC.

One big thing that I hated DayZ about in Arma 2 is that DayZ servers fill up the whole server list and I'll hate that too in A3 if it happens.

And how do you know PVP spots in the standalone? The loot table could(and I'm sure it will) be different from the mod so PVP spots will be different and you don't know at first what loot do you find where. I'm also hoping more maps in the future and I believe they will come. Just wait.

Holy shiet! :thumbsup:

Just having an idea that would it be possible in the future if we could somehow tweak building detail as separate from others. I think that would help some people. But one big FPS eater in coast for me is the damn sea. I'm really hoping that we could drop it's detail down because I get better FPS in dense forest than looking off the coast.

Wattafak?! Are you trolling rocket? Ok I'm not sure how powerful next generation will be but still I'm confused.

So what's wrong with 1st person in Arma 2 if you compare it to other games? Because IMO it is better than in any other game I've played.

Agree. Agree. I'm not sure how's possible but if possible then it's cool. You can already adjust your FOV. I put mine 100 or 110 (I don't remember) and I've very very near the same FOV as in 3rd person without exploiting. About that head bob IMO it is very minimal when the slider is 0. There's hardly any wave/bobbing. Agreed.

I don't know have many guys in this forum even seen this banner. And when looking some of the comments, it looks like some don't understand that the first release is alpha. That means it might take long before the proper v1.0. I didn't need this update but here are so impatient people that I understand that you have to make this to stop the flooding in forums :P

The thing is nobody knows how long it will take to standalone to become v1.0. It can take couple months or even a year.

Yeah you people are pissed because you haven't get some tweets about DayZ in two weeks. In Arma 3 side there wasn't any communication just bit after the E3 (that was 5 months ago) until we got information that they will release brief update in early 2013. I won't be surprised if the next information about DayZ comes on purpose at the same time as Arma 3's.

Just wanted to make 3rd Person summary: Pros: - You can see your character what it looks like - Better situation awareness about your body/car/chopper (better to reverse with cars because there's no mirrors) - Some people don't get motion sick that easily Cons: - Hard to shoot without switching to 1st person Cheats: - You can peek behind walls/bushes/trees etc. without exposing yourself - You don't suffer effects like cold - Broken windshield doesn't disturb - You can see bit too well out of cars and choppers

Maybe zombies will try to investigate the place where one zombie saw you but only walking not running on that place.

Wow k3lt, just wow. These are forums and not just some imageboard where you try to troll and bite everyone as hard as you can. You are very lucky that you aren't banned already. Here's the place for you.

Days (hours) survived is the only stat needed.
