God dammit, you wouldn't! This is a crime against humanity! Now, go out and kill some bambies along the coast and feast on their flesh, teabaggin them like a normal postapocalyptic survivor. Id prefer a brand new item; a coin as an early warning alarm system(didnt they say we will get some kind of currency? hopefully its coins, not paper). Also, pot+rope is like 5 slots. I would like never use it. I would use a rope+ sawed off to wait for whoever opens up the door. I dont know how that would work out if a group of players would just server hop every prison, traping all the doors from the inside... All the improvised grenade+rope/stick/wire traps seems awesome ideas to me. Id much rather see these instead of claymores & antipersonel mines.You just take possible crafting away with these. The explosive is here already, we should just get more options on how to blow ourselves up with it.

Met a guy who tried to backstab a friend without knowing im covering his back. We gutted him and had our first human steak. I kind of liked it. Everytime someone would make the laughin voice we would just start arguing "Oh you think that's funny! Have a full cartoon of steaks!!" We would just RP a bit carazy each time someone started making sounds. It was somewhat welcome to easen up the mood when we got into pvp @veresnik and abandon. mil base or just traveling the lonely roads. Beside its more relaxing knowing you're the one laughing, not some other crazy cannibal :D Feels like getting +1 on fear factor :D I know it makes me feel uneasy when i hear a cannibal nearby. It started to suck tho, I didnt feel safe communicating with anyone; ghillie+akm+pso1+aksu+smersh+nades+canibal laughter... plus the twitching was beyond annoying when using scopes. I wish it wasnt that severe.

you're one very well fed cannibal! Just wondering, is there a different modifier if you eat already infected cannibals? Try force feeding your next victim untill he gets the giggles. Then eat him :P

Did you cook your meat? i believe u get a 75% chance of catching a Kuru if you eat it raw and only 25% if its cooked.

Are you incapable of filtering 1pp servers? Do you want me to make a tutorial for you? I would prefer if they removed whiny as* bi**** like yourself first. I dont see the problem. sighs... haters gonna hate hate hate hate hate.. Adapt, maybe?????? It's a nice video and he's tottaly right about immersion and experience. I tottaly agree with him. Ontopic wise, i would only change the max fov setting and cameras angle. Just enough to get a LOS collision with the bottom of a window/fence. Correct me if im wrong but even if they would hardcap these settings, im pretty sure you could get around it very easily?

Oh no, I use it in every cheap way possible to get a better idea of whats going on when im trying to survive. I expect every survivor i meet is doing the same. I simply see it as a gameplay mechanic that is avail. to everyone. I understand however that many dislike this due to their personal believes on how the game should be played. I've played far too many mp games where i was playing by my own rules, where I intentionaly made it harder for me, because the use of some game mechanics/styles didn't feel rewarding whatever the achievment followed.From ganking players in mmos to AVPing some dust2 spawn kills or using premium ammo in wot for that "edge" in pen. I understand that many prefer 1st person shooters, but there are people who like the third person aswell. Personaly, i enjoyed both 1st person(cs,quake,dod,ro etc) and 3rd person (gtaVMP,JustCause2MP,APB:Reloaded etc) shooters. Whilst cs was allot more skill intensive when it comes to aiming and muscle reflexes, crossair & burst control, APB was all about outplaying an opponent, using the cover and not exposing yourself whilst scaning in 3rd person. I simply see 1pp and 3pp as two quite different gameplay modes (which they are). Both have their advantages/disadvantages, offer different gameplay/experience and I can play whichever i feel like playing more at that momment.I play both.You are right about the immersion; 1pp wins hands down. Because it already looks like it when you're standing :D

And by doing this your gain would be.... ? Just, dont.

Oldschool servers are usualy full aswell. This is way too situational. I've already killed snipers on veresnik, comming from bottom of the hill and they were the agressors. You need to know how to use your camera and your surroundings. Its pretty much a tactical shooter in 3pp when it comes to cqc. Better positioning and awarness will bring you on top. What you mentioned is on pair with 3pp scouting thru windows which indeed is cheap, but imo not gamebreaking.I do agree you're in big advantage there since u decide when to make contact. I play mostly as a survivor and ill have to disagree with the KOS thingy. Its practicly impossible for me to die unless i literally bump into another player or beg to get a shot, dancing on tripple yellow. 3pp or not, KOSers are mostly blind and search for a quick action. With 3pp giving you this powerfull vision tool, you only get more chances of survival when being chased by these headless creatures that lust for blood. Just yday i greeted a guy who in return pulled out his shotgun and started chasing me. It took me one bush for him to ran by and get bowed down. I often see groups of players, hit the ground and let them pass me. Outside private shards, i dont find any more KOSers on 1pp than on 3pp. It's really no art to lie behind a rock and shoot people in 1pp either. It's easier to camp in buildings because people cannot corner check whilst in 3pp you get the opposite. I find it allot easier to stalk in 1pp than to run away/hide.

The thread was already going into 1pp master race convo. again. So I said I like both. You called people who prefer the-not-your-mode scrubs. Thanks for you opinion. Dynamic FOV... Yknow when it starts zooming in? It's like one of those dreams where you're keep falling and you cant do anything to stop it. Beside blur&bloom this is usualy the first thing i turned off in every game so far. Shoulder/different view would be the best bet, but you will never nullify 3p peeking. Which, imo, is not really a must since it's avail. to everyone. And it seems the majority of the playerbase is not against it. Sure, it is easier stalk/track and attack your target, but its also easier to spot and run from the attacker. Remember, you're all on the same ground here. Ive played other games where you have this dynamic FOV. Once you get close to a wall or a corner, the camera will zoom in yes, but that doesnt mean you cant abuse the 3p view. Not to mention there is tons of tricks to fool the camera not zooming in. I guess what im saying is that people will always find a way around. Any kind of FOW implementation just opens up tons of questions regarding the possible issues. It could very well be terrible, something like todays zombies(yes, placeholders, i know); spot a player 400m away in the halway on 9th floor, yet they fail to spot you some 20m away. Would you really want that? actual invis. players? Wouldnt that make it more arcadish, thanks to this cloaking device mechanic? Wouldnt that make allot of people rage, thinking they got killed by a cheater? And speaking of cheaters, wouldnt that give them yet another mechanic they could possibly abuse ? Returning to FOW&FOV... does that mean devs would have to define every object (windows for example) whether is transparent or not? How much of a chance would you get to spot someone behind bushes? I guess the engine would have to take my angle of view in calculation..constantly. You very well know it only takes an axe handle sticking out to spot entire player - would fow, in this case made him completely invis. ? What if theres only a couple of pixels sticking out? Where would you draw this fine line of invis and visable players? Personaly i think there would be tons of issues that would not improve you gaming experience. And dont get me wrong please, i wouldnt mind a different camera angle with a smaller max possible fov. It's forced FOV and the idea of FOW im against.

Im already doing this since i picked my second canteen mwahah. The fuel itself wont kill you tho - i drank a full cannister & only needed to throw out some 6 times. You need to go desinfectant (i think you can?)... I was going to wear a wall of text letter that ends up with "P.S. if you drank my canteen...RIP" It would be pretty funny, but i figured most of the people would check the super rare letter first than drink from my canteen.

lol, was not expecting dat...

Hi. Have a few yolo tries at zombies when you respawn. You will quickly learn their attack pattern and how to dodge/counter it. It gets ridicilously easy even when fighting multiple zombs. Killing them asap is still better than locking them up or running away due to their buggy nature.

lol...full mil u say? get out of the truck next time unless you wanna respawn at the last known on-foot location. Was it NWAF? :3

My friend was just checking up the castle on skalisty when I met a random survivor down south at the water pump and our zucchini gardens. He was a bit nervous that im going to kill him, wearing a gas mask and a mosin, but after i told him im growing all-you-can-eat zucchinis, he was willing to risk it all! It takes time to grow, so I was just BSing about my awesome zucchinis and told him to check them out "Just look at 'em babies!" He steps on the garden, looks down, tottaly freaks out??? and starts running.... then i remembered ... I handcuffed my friend digging the garden.. He got a bit pissed and I promised to stop doing it, dropping the cuffs. oops. I didnt bother to catch up on him to explain, im sure he would outrun me lol Way to make friends, halp.

I once made about 5 garden plots next to the kambi road and made another 5 or so fireplaces next to it. I came from cherno so i was bringing tons of raincoats and whatnot and threw it all on the middle of a road. On my way to kambi i dropped a drybag with an axe, teddy bear, bandages and some stuff. First guy who came to kamishowo was wearing my ex bag and axe. I welcome him and offer him pumpkins. First thing he tried to do was to axe my head off whilst giving me some comments about my relatives. Boy i had a pleasure of killing that dude. Some "normal" freshspawns came up later on and they were quite worried about the fire as some were making comments im a cannibal lol. Anyway, it was obviously a bad idea to pick kamy for this. All i did was a huge gathering of newspans that ended up with mass murder once two fully decked players arrived lol to think of, thats how most gatherings in dayz ends up anyway, so it wasnt all that bad while it lasted :D

I was about to ask where is this convoy :D TY. Altho in much smaller scale it really reminds me of those abandoned USSR vehicles you get to see in photos. Nice scene. Random shot for the sake of being ontopic;

whatever dude. I paid my own money to play this game. Tell me, once you get fully geared on your cosy server, do you stay there and roleplay with apple trees or you join other publics to ruin someone day with the gear you, imo, unfairly got by abusing your admins rights? Wanna play alone? fine, buy a private one and enjoy being alone, because you can be for sure noone will join it after a few of those "i dont like your name" kicks. Kicking people from a pub? Well, enjoy being reported.

Steak&Potatoes is right. In case you guys haven't seen it yet, i found this really interesting ; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkN0iFGkyWk#t=346 ghillie suit rendering at distance. I think it's somewhat fair.You really shouldnt be able to spot a bush that far but i understand that in your scenario you should. Id maybe buff the distance from 400 to 600~800 when playing on very high but no further.What i would much rather see, is the same drawing distance on low or high object settings when it comes to player characters.They could always make a different drawing distance for stances like lying or running, but that would need allot of work othervise it would just result in ghillie snipers getting a cloak device at will.

launch parameters did mor than cfg edits for me. For unparking i cant really tell.For one of my low end laptops, the best possible thing would be running the game without steam. Point is, even i get 40+ fps when watching on the ground on a 1.7ghz i7quad with 330m. People just wanted a better comparison than your dot being focused on the ground level most of the time, cause if u get 40 fps watching at berezino ground, i bet you dont get 40fps running down the centre.

I was playing normaly on one of the public server. After the server restart, i joined a random one and shortly after got kicked. "battle eye admin kick BEC: could not join server - possible hack detected" Plese tell me this is a thing admins started doing nowdays and i didnt get a false positive :| Only thing i ever touched was the draw distance/scene complexity in mydocuments.cfg files. edit: well it seems i can still join servers, so i guess its a thing.

Yeah, pretty sure i wouldnt be able to connect to other publics if that was the actualy BE kick. It does seem ridicilous now when i think of "possible cheats detected" Oh well, another server to report. You can lock/delete the thread. Got a bit worried over my healthy 10yr ol steam account.

same. books. tons of books. and a guy with shotgun who wouldnt let a newspawn to explore. thanks for shooting me in the face, i hope you got stuck in the prison after a relog and still waiting for support to solve your ticket :rolleyes: and i hope the ticket gets lost. 10 times

i am forever amazed how the hell can you play in those blured settings. you sure you have correct rendering % or is that blur /postproc to the max ? nevermind :)

I assume you've already done this http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/28cla2/dayz_sa_frame_optimization_launch_options_fov/ Put textures & terrain back to normal. I notice no difference setting this from low to high on a much weaker rig. Turn off the shadows, AA, SSAO.. whatever rendering... turn off vsync (if your pc tends to crash when lookin at the sky cause of 999FPS, turn it back on). Than play with the settings untill u reach your "ideal" state of performance vs quality. the only real setting u wanna be worried about is objects.I run everything on lowest, forced my resolution down to 1280x720 in order to have objects on normal. Be sure your gpu is set to optimal performance, get the latest drivers. You can try unparking your CPU.
