The amount of alluding to 1PP being the "hardcore" version of this game is getting silly. I have played ARMA2 for years prior to Dayz, and there is a major reason why this game series has 3PP to begin with. It is a military sim that has many features that no other game does, however, 1PP on this engine and map design is simply awful. It is slow, restrictive, annoying and not realistic. Even the console clones of the more recent Cod and Battlefield games have better 1PP than this game does. Third person gives a much more realistic perspective of being able to spot things infront of you quickly, as well as properly position your body behind cover. Sure it comes with the downside of being able to look around and above objects, but that is something that works both ways and you can simply learn to adapt to it or play on the 1PP servers that exist if you cannot. Third person has its downsides when you try to bullshit gameplay, especially in CQB where trying to look around doorways can easily get you shot in the side by the same person you are trying to find. Majority of people are playing 3PP simply because it is a better experience with less annoyance of this game engine's limitations.

We NEED some way to identify heros and bandits.
Sixteen18 replied to 1S1K-Airborne's topic in General Discussion
More carebearass bullshit is just what this game needs. -
I thought they were going to implement that back when they first started making the changes against combat logging, but I don't remember what happened to it. In most MMOs your body stays for 15+ seconds if you alt F4 in combat, I imagine it isn't that difficult to add to DayZ.

Why do peoples actions need to dictate their appearance?
Sixteen18 replied to GBTP's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I never understood the logic behind the bandit skin. If the big aspect of Dayz is deciding who to trust, why should some people be forced into an automatically hostile appearance? Bandits, especially those that are solo, would want to avoid looking hostile and try to fit in with the general group as much as possible to avoid being hunted down. This whole skin change concept needs to be removed imo, what they need to work on is giving better reasons for people to risk trusting strangers. -
Rushing to loot people that I kill has gotten me in a trouble a lot. I don't know how many times I went to loot someone just to get killed by someone else seconds later.

Dayz has become the original, most if not all other games that will be created for this genre will be just cheap attempts to cash in on its popularity. This is no different than most MMOs these days being World of Warcraft clones that try to offer something new, but in the end fail to match the quality of the original and die while Wow still stands at the top. These days in gaming are dominated by anti-community corporations like Activision and EA that make money through making cheap clones of their own games, don't expect originals like Dayz to occur often.

DayZ (SA) Notifing Devs -Major issue with having all Zeds spawn at Start of Server
Sixteen18 replied to logan23's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Hopefully they won't allow too much zombie kiting to begin with. Running should only be an option to get to a close hiding place or line up a shot, not creating a rediculos zombie train. Zombies not being a threat has been of the leading issues in the mod. -
High-end computer cannot run dayz?
Sixteen18 replied to zBedRock's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
That FPS sounds about right for that hardware. To get decent FPS you need set everything on normal or lower, shadows on low and keep 3D Res at 100%. -
Unlikely, people pick up duped/hacked items all the time. It's more of an ethical standpoint.

Cars do spawn with loot, but that car is not legit.

One thing I would like to see removed from the game: NVGs
Sixteen18 replied to Kashus's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Feeling safe with NVGs? That's probably what all the fools with NVGs that I snipe at NW Airfield think when they are walking in the middle of the hangars -
I have never experienced a Hacker...
Sixteen18 replied to donakowski1@gmail.com's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I have over 300 hours played and have not been killed by a hacker either, playing on completely random servers. Like with most things here people overreact too much, wouldn't surprise me if half of the complaints here were total bullshit the same way people complain about hackers in BF3 every time they get owned. -
Pretty much, it is a two shot kill with lots of ammo. In general Mk48, FAL and M14 dominate close range combat due to their damage and relatively good accuracy.

I destroy tents because I am annoyed by people hoarding gear and vehicles, most of the people setting up these camps are just server hoppers and dupers.
