How is this in any way a first person shooter? Ok now I take you less seriosuly

I understand a few different concepts of the game and it is Hicks's one which I'm not sure I like. The way he's been talking about people living off the land and such is great but if that becomes the only way to survive I'm out. I want a balance of PvP and PvE where you can't loot one town for enough gear to last a week, but you can find enough to survive. I think whatever happens people are going to play how they like and squadplay is always going to take priority over farming or hunting for most people.

Honestly I would hate DayZ to become a farming simulator, I really think DayZ needs a better balance between PvP and PvE which will satisfy a larger audience. I'm worried that only a few people will end up playing a FarmZ and it will get very boring very quickly, that said I don't want an Elektro moshpit on every server after release. You should be able to survive at the coast but be rewarded for travelling inland imo.

The ratio of 3rd person servers to 1st person servers shows how popular they both are.

Again, that's just bullshit. I've had fights like that but the ability to use 3rd person doesn't make you invisible to everyone. But if I can fight flawed logic with flawed logic, here we go: 3PP fights: 1 Use cover to your advantage 2 Make sure you aren't being watched 3 Plan and make your move accordingly 1PP fights: 1 Hide in a bush because no one can see me, right? 2 Run when you feel safe I KNOW this isn't what happens but it's just an eye opener for you.

No, 3rd person is not a crutch, considering I have much more fun on 3PP servers than I ever did on 1PP, and I have no intention to move on. The game does NOT become better in 1PP because some people don't like 1PP, why do you elitists find this so hard to understand? And I don't understand why you are obsessed with telling us 3PP is easier and therefore inferior, I find 1PP unnecesssarily clunky and that's why I and many others don't play, and 3PP DayZ is not 'easy' by any means. I think you have a distorted view of 3PP of people camping Elektro hospital, because when I play I like to move around and it adds an element of tactics not knowing who is watching you and where from.

I have thick skin and I'm not offended by him, but I just want to point out elitist morons give the 1PP community a bad name.

All the same can we not call other people's personal preferences 'shit', thanks

Third person isn't stupid, that's such a childish attitude. For God's sake learn the difference between 'fact' and 'opinion'.

Reasons I play 3PP and not 1PP: All my friends play 3PP Easier to play with people in 3PP I like looking at a character I've spent hours gearing up Easier to tell when I am leaning/crouching 1PP feels clunky, keep walking into stuff Very little high-pop 1PP servers 1PP gives me headaches after a while I don't see looking over walls in 3PP as much of a problem tbh. The whole peripheral vision thing (so 3PP gives you a more accurate angle to look at) Literally no frames in 1PP 3PP just generally feels better. I don't feel more imersed in 1PP. This argument is just BS for a lot of people. I tried 1PP, didn't like it. And if you don't like 3PP, only play on hardcore servers. People who don't play 1PP (which is literally 90% of the community) don't tell you guys to only use 3PP servers, so please respect that. No reason to switch! Why should I and many others be forced to play 1PP when its only a minority who want this? Why can't we just play the way we want to, without self-entitled idiots telling us the way we play is wrong and even 'cheating'! Also, please note everyone has the disadvantage/advantage looking over walls. I'm not sure how many times it has got me killed but it's also got me kills and saved my life. You can also look over walls and look behind you (which you can barely do in 1PP). There is still a lot of strategy in 3PP, it is not all just camping Elektro hospital.

NATO suppressors still don't spawn. However the prison uniform stuff does in the prison island. I'll update the list or make a new one later.

Splints are uncraftable on all private shards i've tried, not sure about public.

The whole point of non intrusive identification is that everybody sees the same thing and it is realistic. An armband that only your squad can see is ridiculous and game breaking IMO, everyone must be able to see the armband.
