    Zelen Glitching Dupers!

    Every russian i met so far was friendly. I especially remember Cherno newspawn who i gave an axe and he didnt kill me whilst bandaging. I was end game geared. Try opening a conversation without calling them a russian ->insert an insult here<-
  2. Honestly, that's good for novo..im anywhere from 9-20fps there so i just avoid it, unless im playing on my top pc. Svetlo is even worse (7-12.) I would remove clouds & shadows alltogether if i were you and sacrifice it for anything better than "very low" objects. edit: holy batman, your config should run this no prob. Also, do this; Disable shadows, clouds, SMAA and AA and postprocessing .. Set objects to very high.. then enable the "candies" back. Sacrifice AA/SMAA/PostProc or shadows to get performance, not objects. I was testing this with a friend who can run objects @very high and i can tell you he can spot me lying on the ground way before i can see him running on the middle of a road (in other words u dont stand a chance) Do tweak your cfg with standard stuff like shadowZdistance=50, preferred drawdistance=1001m and objectdistance=1000m, maxframes ahead 0.(you did set it read only,right?) Update your drivers and dont trust that nvidia auto tweaking thingy u get(disable it). Set to optimal/max performance instead of quality if you havent yet aswell. Disable all the power saving features. Dayz doesnt save. I can run this game with obj.&textures on very high, AA very high but with shadows & PP off and the game is very playable.I wouldnt say constant 30 fps, but it looks great, runs smooth and doesnt leave me at a disadvantage. I run like a few gen older i7 cpu with 3.5ghz and some 2gig radeon. You have a i-would-kill-4-ur-cpu, higher clock & gpu so i would expect it to run the game even smoother. I know you did most of these already(sorry!), but still, something must be going on to effect your fps that much when touching objects.. btw, u will never get constant 30+ fps (imo) in alpha. There's streamers with pcs i could afford in 5 yrs time and they still get the low fps drops.

    the nekid guy just when things got interesting.. skalisty spawn the other island Graveyard
  4. Did a full train of (5)elektro zombs yday, knocked them all out with my fists before i started to bleed. they are easy to kite and they drop in second punch. Also if you run long enough you can almost swag walk and they wont catch you even if u wait for them. It's like they deplete their stamina or something.

    The new 3pp camera and FOV Slider

    Yeah you are right, i should let the popular opinion out of this, otherwise m4 would definitely replace the flashlight at the beach. I don't think 3pp is easy mode tho, it just requires a different play style. Play style that some find cheap. I just think it's allot more tactical and requires allot more thinking of an approach when the enemy can see you advance without exposing himself & vice versa. Pretty much this ^^ I do hope at some point it will be "good enough" for those who are bothered by this mechanic, because it will never(?) be perfect. Personally i don't mind whatever change will happen, i just hope this wont bring other dev. projects to a halt.

    The new 3pp camera and FOV Slider

    There's already fixed version called 1pp. I don't think 3pp cam "abuse" will ever be completely fixed, unless they put massive amount of resources in it. I honestly think some of you are asking for impossible. Only way you could really stop players from using it is to make other players not render at all once your behind a solid non transparent hard cover. I don't know about you, but something like that sounds pretty complex to me and they will have to invest massive amounts of work hrs to make it happen.Do you think the server would really be capable of tracking each players LOS and do all the correct player rendering in realtime without any additional desyncs or whatever issues? I'm really curious how many % 3pp players want this "abusive" mechanic to be fixed, because im getting a feeling this is being pushed forward by the same group of a few hundred people who just cant get used to it. I guess the only thing that bothers me is knowing that they will re-adjust the camera for at least some 5 times and what not for the next n-updates, whilst they could work on something else. And each time they will do it, there will be a new reddit post saying "hey if lean to this corner i can still try-hard peak out". Well, dohhhhhhh > :( . Besides, how will you make it so i wont be able to hug a tree/bush/garbage bin/insert obj. name here and peek left/right? And guys, for real, parking at the corner peeking might be lame because you don't see the bad bad exploiter, but honestly, you don't stand a chance spotting me on 1pp if i hug a bush either. Or if i hug a tree. Or pretty much any object as long as i stay still and keep one obj. in our LOS/LOF. I dont need 3pp for that. I had hrs of sessions on 50/50 berezino where people would literally slaughter themselves 3m away from the bush i was standing in. I think some of you put way too much death credit to 3pp cam. That being said, just be grateful for whatever change the devs. are trying to do to please you. Majority of people doesn't have a problem with this cam. because we all stand on equal grounds, so the way i see it, they're actually trying to satisfy the minority. And they try to fix something that's very hard to fix. Be happy :) I guess this post belongs more to reddit and it's never ending /dayz bitching, but i cant bother making an account there for that very reason.
  9. Same. I like limiting myself to go without the backpack and if my first thing i find is a cowboy hat.. same as you .)
  10. Civilian planes, sure. Nothing with guns. Altho Il2 sturmovik indeed was mass produced, it had everything from wing mounted MGs, tail gunner, rockets and cassettess... If that would not be OP i dunno what would it be. Same for choppers, i dont want to get rekt over and over by the server owner. This. Even now (0.55) i find it ridiculous to play on some private servers since only admin&his band of brothers know when the restart is going to happen. They obviously make sure they hold all the key locations before doing it, so yeah, feels like you play for their leftovers. Pass.
  11. 2. Now that you mention it, i was going to say a "worn" mine probably gives you a %chance to detonate but since i don't know that for sure I didn't. I got blown by a damaged mine once(altho i saw wobos guide..), and worn one twice (because i really thought i can make it the 2nd time around if i only stand back a bit further... :blush: )

    Tell us why we died

    i would be okay knowing why i died on experimental. Never on stable. uh uh, one more ! You are in 2nd floor of firestation you are dead :D
  13. The mine must be pristine. Damaged and worn ones will blow up the second u activate it. If it's pristine, you will have a luxury of a 3sec. countdown before it goes active.

    How was your Day(Z)?

    Id blame the desync. I once tried to hold up a guy sniping chapaevsk. I shot him unconscious, bandaged him and told him not to draw his weapon once he gains conscious. Well, that was the first thing he did and altho i was ready for it, i still got shot by his dead body 2-3 seconds later whilst i was already prone. This happened in elevator shaft in the tall apartment building overlooking the beachside, so there was no higher point where i could get shot from. Also, i know it was his ak74su that sprayed me. It sucked 'cause i was giving him a chance, not to mention i reacted in order to save my life but still got screwed. I also had a fail attempt of holding two guys at prison island from 10m whilst they were showing me their backs.one just simply moonwalked-desynced some 20m on my flank and i was basicly fked. I tried to kite them off so they couldn't use their numerical superiority. I knew i want a tight spot - a choke point if youd like, so i ran towards the hallways that leads to barracks. They both felt for it and went insta aggro on me thinking im running for my life. With their weapons lowered and sprinting inside the hall, i knew this is my time. I stepped out of the cover some 10m (if not less) infront of them. The fact none of the 30rnds on my mp5 hit any of the guys only lead to an embarrassing death. It was basicly tottaly like this from my POV You just dont wanna fk with Marcellus Wallace desync...

    How was your Day(Z)?

    I think some people just like to roleplay an annoying hyperactive child. Ive encountered "this" kid a few times aswell. I dont know if the main reason is boredom, quick backstab opportunities or just imitating that youtuber(who?) who did it first. I learned that if you make them think that you are more bored than them, they will leave you alone... Or they will want to team up lol. I usually just show them no interest and treat them like the old zombies. i don't fight them, i just sidestep his punches untill he gets bored and walks away. :D
  21. Mostly it was the making of my character and his "upgrading", just to die in style. I also find walking around the woods helluva relaxing. Once I am fully geared and super bored i just go to a high traffic place. There's usually players already waiting for me.
