"I used to carry a sportster due to abundance of ammo and mags i found. I can not rememeber where i found all the mags (i even dropped a 30 and 2x10 round mags to make some space) but you could be right i visited some mil loot spawns (office, police, barracks...)." Posted from searching. This is what is happening. I am trying to use the Sporter .22 with the hunting scope. I want to hunt with it, and find how effective it is. This is the only gun i have been able to find 1 mag, and 1 clip in the whole time since returning to the game. (which I threw away to make room) All i want to do is test it out, how effective it is with hunting etc.. I carry an empty rifle around with a worn hunting scope. I am unable to find the mag, or .22 clip anywhere on the map again. Where exactly have you found them? Houses or the above posted from my forum search. I have not been able to find one since i threw them away as a fresh spawn. I have been going through barracks, police and most military spawns, unable to find a decent spot. Houses are searched most times. Still unable to find a location. Suggestions please? Thanks

i found another mag, off a buddy of mine :) but i went to grab it and the admin restarted the server at 13:44 like usual.

I tried to even gather enough black in the game, and there simply isn't enough items to go all out black. Especially the post i did earlier. I like black outfits, not always green or those ugly rain coats, etc.. There also isn't enough slots in the black to wear all black. I want a black backpack too like the hunters backpack, mountain backpack. At this point i don't care if its a true black or a grey. I just would like a fully decked out black kit. One way or another ill get mods for it i hope.

What needs to be removed isn't 3p, or 1p but the simple viewing distances over walls etc... BI can fix this. otherwise 3p way out number 1p so it would be best to remove 1p and get it over with. Agreed? Saves us more grief listening to post after post about 1p or 3p choices. My gawd this has been beat to death. No i don't agree, choice is most important. 1p and 3p either or doesn't matter.

Re-patch good video :thumbsup:

modding, not the core of the game.

Here is something i found out. This might help with the map and FPS. Off the map in dayz i had 277+ fps Looking at 1-2 trees no objects. On the map i had 45 fps, to 90fps depending. To a whopping 20 fps in heavy bugged cities. Trees and buildings decreased the FPS a ton. Graphics on high, with the current tool set in dayz. If you where to make a map, size may only matter if we where loading the map up all together. So size i don't feel is a problem. I think its more along the lines of what and how many objects are loading at once. So what type of theme would you consider? a semi treed area, lots of water, lots of rocks, and fewer buildings? Cities just don't seem to be nice. As much as we want them.

incorrect, there should be 50/50 split on "dayz hosted" official 1p servers however your official servers are public rented servers too as you hive character transfers over. Get the record straight i couldn't care less about your 1p, 3p official servers. I care that the game isn't ruined by a handful of people that forcefully wish 1p only existed. Don't take my quote out of context to the other posters remarks. But the truth hurts don't it? Nobody i repeat nobody is going to keep the 1p rented servers alive in the future. Allow for BI to host the 1p, but i sure the heck wont.

Well said, very well. It is our loss. We are also all arguing over the fact that maybe the 3p seeing over the walls is our faults. I think it can be re programmed to restrict directly over the wall when you turn left, or right and it shows behind you. If it cant then they need to learn how to. also 7, this really isn't a zombie type game blood and gore, flesh eating game. I foresee this as a survival in the wilderness like the real life shows on TV, but with a human presence like the walking dead. Sometimes your attacked other times you bring in new people to your compound. This is where groups become towns, and protect life as we see. We sometimes will fight other groups for all the survival needs to continue on. Territories will be made, and building will happen with big walls to keep you out. But so will landmines :) that will stop your 3p vision so called exploits LOL

Its only a handful of people that have this issue, not everyone. 1. Its 1p cant get enough numbers to play on their servers. 2. Hicks made a mention of 1p servers, but knows quiet well that mods and private servers will change it. 3. 1p probably cant get enough donations to keep it alive. The so called 30 members have not paid up :)

Some of you are getting away from the subject. Moving to other programs is not what this is about. Don't be calling 3p and vo-ip cheaters either. Its an unfair assessment, rights to use that term. Make a game with what you desire, but BI has already stated that this is a modded game, and so is the arma series. Simply vanilla servers will die off in time. 1p makes no sense to argue over the fact modding will become the future, and so will 1p and 3p servers. If you wish to make a 1p by all means do so and invite your 30 friends to play. We will not join it solely to play on. We want to communicate with friends and doing so will involve TS and 3rd person if we desire. and this is not a scary game... Ive seen TV shows more freighting then this game.

Sure you can, it feels right because we are in 1st person in real life.

Emu, you cant argue against it, because you yourself used the same thing, 3 posts up about the stock market. I don't care about the 1p, or 3p vision mode. I simply wont play in 1p only servers. This game gives me headaches after 3 minutes in 1p, i have to switch to 3pp right away. It is also very close to 25% pov which is perfect for me. Sniper Elite series. now that i am talking about it, i wonder if its the overwhelming graphics in it. Too much to process at once?

@7 i wish bambis where not so clever to point and shoot, or trap you. I trust a bambis not anymore. However i try to avoid them at all costs and let them do their own things as they can give away your position without ever firing a shot. Child's backpacks can carry MP5's and pm73 btw. Pistols etc... so even though they haven't gone to the military areas, they are still geared to the teeth and hang out in places to see if they can get free gear from someone.

Since the type of gear you want, will be in and out as quick as you can. I recommend any northern, or central towns. Basically for food, if you don't hunt. If you hunt only? i recommend to avoid towns all together and stay to the bush lines. All major towns, have a good abundance of food, and water. Some items like new carry case, extra rags etc.. all towns can carry these. If you like to play a tad dangerous, all military towns or close by the new barracks, and tents have a good abundance of items you may need. Gorka, backpacks if not fully ghillie pants, boots, and vests sometimes you have to loot up fast and get out. Even sometimes we are forced to mend up our gear and stay hidden. Central towns are your best bet for common loot. For military type loot i recommend military tents, at tent city, vybor, Sobor, crash sites, and Nwaf. I am not sure about the new places as i haven't had the time to explore them. Northern cities and towns along that major road all seem to carry a large amount of food, and basic clothing. Basically towns and cities are our worst enemy. Military areas are a death trap ready to happen, with the server hoppers, and multi groups looking for you. Best bet, join lower pop servers if you really need to loot up.

I like to play quiet sometimes and loan wolfing it can be fun. Survival, because you know your most likely dead by a large group hehe. Its the unknown factor, can i survive through all of this. Can i get out, and play a stealth sniper. How well will i do against all of these bullies that are taking over the city. Its fun, and i encourage more to give it a try. If you can survive that is =D

for those that don't remember, soe has had to post about problems related to seizures some years ago. Some players experienced seizures, and if i can remember right one died. Read the comments, on a bs study see how many suffer without reading all of it. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/7.174468-Study-Concludes-That-Videogames-Dont-Cause-Headaches Wiki on it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game-related_health_problems Another article http://www.oddee.com/item_98407.aspx Read the part, Video games can cause vision problems. Extensive viewing of any screen causes eye strain, and prolonged computer use could also be linked to glaucoma, especially among users who are near-sighted. Staring at a bright screen is very harmful to the physical components of the eye, especially because during computing sessions we tend to stop blinking and start staring, which makes our eyes strain and dry out. Near-sighted or Far-sighted, or tunnel vision might cause some headaches. Not all video games cause this, as i had played Everquest for many years in 1p, but later had to switch to 3p. It was mainly because i was getting extreme headaches while watching all areas of my 1p character. http://www.video-game-addiction.org/physical-consequences.html For those that don't know or looking for excuses, we wont join your 1p servers we will mod our servers 1p/3p because of it. and this 1p topic is really premature and so is 3p for others. Its going to be modded, and you can play on your 1p servers or 3p servers all you want. Those articles are not great links to studies, however it has been known that some excessive movement or flickering can cause issues. Especially in near-sighted, far-sighted and tunnel vision. I sometimes do suffer from that, not sure why i have great eyes. Maybe i strain on something to much? unknown as nobody really has much of a solution for anything. Was it not one of our very own members on the forums here posted about how arma 2-3 movements vrs dayz was way to quick? i sure we can dig up that topic. Maybe this is what we see.... Whom knows but to avoid it and expect us to suffer?? ill take my money back now if Dayz devs are willing to paypal it to me. they wont, because they wont force 1p or 3p on people.... Wish a dev would squash these threads, they provoke too many arguments.

I actually agree but staying out of this pointless argument for the 10th time. Same with 1p/3p topics. Small question, how many turn their heads when they see movies with credits flowing so fast you cant read them?

i5, 8gb, atleast the gtx 960 4gb card <------- Dont cheese out, save more money up if you have too. Wait it out, otherwise it will cost you a lot more in the long run. I would push to 16 gb if its extra. i was able to play dayz on lower settings with the i3, 8800gt 768mb card with 8gb of memory with hardly any chop. I am really not sure how as it is a bottleneck duo core, and that video is so old. Just the other day, then uninstalled avg and the darn HDD wont boot into windows... man that sucked was my work computer.

I found many .22 amp clips in military, and in houses. Its random it appears.

I have checked tons of locations and since .48 i find black the most hardest items to find. Black cargo pants, black jackets, black vests, black shirts. Gloves, I think much more has to be added. Since police do use black from time to time. Also civilians use black clothing all the time. Black outfits like this. Jumpsuits which ever. Gloves, Eye wear over helms, Scarves or Balaclava, Side gun holster, Back gun holster for Shotguns. Knee Wear Civilian Clothing Shirts, Pants, Boots, and Shoes, jackets bomber style, belts, gloves, winter wear, etc... I heard possible dye, painting may come into the game? So dye's would be great or some ability to paint it. But if we paint it or dye i hope they go flat black color and not matte black finish.

Hunter scope, 30/30 mag, amazing gun. I like it already.

Couple of things, I just figured out how to edit the post title. and i am sure out of frustrations with the forums topics lately everyone is starting to get on edge. Sorry Merc for being so aggravated at your post. I too am a tad fed up with some of the posts and comments. I am sure yours wasn't in total disrespect for someone. Same applies to Kichilron, so much being said, done on the forums lately. Mine should have been double checked. I never thought to post a half title. I was merely asking a simple question in the post. Title wasn't really on my mind at the time. To move forward, Batteries were found in a shed, like we have seen on the coast.

Bingo!!!! First dear stand and i found a "Sporter" 30/30 mag. Unbelievable !!!!! @biohaze thats what i get for copying and pasting someone elses error. I had to look twice and sure enough it said "Sporter" not "sportster". Good catch. Which i should have known better, sportster was a famous name without looking at the link supplied. barns normally carry weapons in them? - found a repeater there too just now. Thanks everyone for the help, now i can test the .22, Happy Hunting :beans:

Ok thanks ill try those locations more.
