if you're looking for a small/tight nit R community... http://idayz.io/ <- the community I'm currently in.. about 35-40 members direct contact/active admins. really chill group of people.. with decent to good RP experience in general.. making for interesting RP senarios.. something different from the 'this is a robbery/get on your knees/suck a cock/shoots you in the head because shits and giggles and again.. active admins.. so a complaint is handled directly.. without having to go to 'community support/semi admin/admin/community leader/game master/server owner type of construction.. (like dayZ RP has and Falcon RP had, AKA to many captains on a ship)

underground bases? hmmmm I'd love to see some caves up north or something.. nothing really large.. but just 'big' enough so you can go in and stash some stuff or even a car in them.. (with all the dangers that caves bring ofc. bears etc.?) that would make some epic adventure up north... !!!

since the engine has limitations.. it doesn't make any difference.. it doesn't matter how 'big' your rig is.. DayZ at this point is not optimized for a lot of things.. let alone SLI..

I'm just wondering, I've seen and heard about weed/alcohol being in the PBO files, when will stuff like cigarettes, weed, alcohol (alcohol/moonshine recipe?) be added in the game? plus the side effects of course because hey.. what fun would it be smoking a joint and not be stoned/slow reacting when you're walking in cherno? I know this is something that'll probably be added in the final patches (if its added at all!) but it would make for so much more RP in general.. weed growers/dealers/moonshiners/bartenders? since this game is about RP and this is the apocalypse.. what would you do for a tokes of a good cigarette you've been craving for 2.5 years now? or that cold can of beer that you will find in a truck somewhere or a car.. I'd love to see these things get added.. we don't need more 'guns' all we need is air transportation.. a few low key (dirt bike/quad/scooter/bicycle) to get us around and some more cars (10 trucks/15 sedans/4 choppers/20 bikes/quads since the map will become bigger over time (tisy military base anyone?) since this is an entire country.. you can't tell me there are 10 cars, 3 bikes and 3 working choppers when this game is finished... again people this country is the size of luxembourge

'It's more likely your 660Ti that has the problem with AA, ATOC and PP stuff. They can be pretty hard even for GTX970. Those settings load the GPU mostly.' <- I know.. that's why I'm switching to a gtx 1070 in september. that should solve some of the issue.. and the fact you're saying about the gtx 970. I'll just tell you what I said in another post... 'dayZ is about as (optimized) as a brick in a swimming pool.. atm..' so it doesn't really matter that much what GPU you're running.. you can run a 3000 dollar BEAST of a pc.. but if you have poorly optimized game engine mechanics.. it will still run crap..

these things add to the realism of things.. and yes RPers (like myself) enjoy realism.. the fact that you recent drugs.. and alcohol.. is just fine.. (as should every 12 yo but sadly thats not the case in my country) people tend to forget (hence the topic) that drugs/alcohol play a vital role in bartering.. when everything goes to shit.. as in society wise.. trade becomes the name of the game.. food water Firearms Ammunition Alcohol Drugs Medicine gold/silver a.k.a. precious metals..

this depends on your setup... what are you using? intel core 6700k (skylake) 16 gigs of DDR4 a 970 gtx Asus gaming motherboard 500 gig SSD 128 gig SSD 3 TB HDD ^ jup then you'll get 60 fps EVERYWHERE in EXP everything on very high.. the biggest anti aliasing gpu hog wouldn't bring your FPS down.. in case you're running something that most gamers use (like myself) Intel i7 3770k 16 gigs of DDR3 a GTX 660TI (will be replaced in september with a GTX 1070 pascal GPU) gigabyte Z77-D3H motherboard 128 gig SSD (OS only!) 2 TB HDD ^ in case you're running this.. with everything on very high.. the biggest anti aliasing gpu hog WILL bring your FPS down.. because this is not yet optimized for standard use... and since you can 'run' this game on a much lower setup than I have.. it shouldn't be a problem.. I average 42 fps with minimum dips to 28 and max FPS of 63 (everything on high/very high)

in the logic that is mathematics... there ARE... 0.60+0.40=1.0 knowing they've gone from 0.28 up to 0.60 in 2 years and 5 months.. it'll take a good while before we're done here.. maybe not 40 exact patches.. but 30 at LEAST well we all know how long they took to go from 0.59-0.60 because rendering engine etc. etc. etc. so any big future changes will probably take JUST as long... (since everything is subject to change on no-notice action... it'll take a few more years (at this rate) until we're getting somewhere.. lets say they're going to bust out 30 patches until 1.0 average work time.. (incl. exp testing) 3 months... mathematics still stands in this subject.. so 3x30=90 months 90:12= 7.5 years. lets say you're right... they bust their ass so they'll do 2 months per patch.. really busting their balls working over time.. you name it.. 2x30=60 months 60:12= 5 years so all in all... they (according to mathematics still need to do 40 patches.. they bring it down to 30 patches cause they skip 10 versions.. we'd still be looking at 5 YEARS of development time.. (adds up to the already 2.5 years that this game is in dev. 5+2.5=7.5 years

amd ii x4 630 Amd FX8350 ^ those are the problem right there... DayZ is about as optimized as a brick in water.. also for Intel machines (which is the largest chip manufacturer on the planet etc. when it comes to CPU's) I run a Intel Core i7 3770k, 16 gigs of ram and a Geforce GTX 660TI... everything on high (not very high) I average 34-62 FPS (wilderness or cities) (about 44 on average) when I start turning stuff down (anti aliasing, post processing, ATOC) and every other non-optimized CPU hugger in this game.. my FPS jumps up to 50-120 so long story short: want to play dayz with good FPS? - either buy Intel CPU's - or wait for this thing to be finished (version 1.0+) so you'll have consistent fps showing because they can 'optimize/change/alter/improve the hell outta this game.. but your engine (for one) dictates how much juice you have when it comes to utilizing all your hard work. plus the fact that most area's in dayz are 'changed' but not propperly looked over (random cabins on the road/steel military/NWA towers in the woods) so these areas are 'changed' but not cleaned to optimize them

ray mears... if only the devs @Hicks_206 (DayZ) would follow stuff like this or at least know... the survival aspect of this game would take LEAPS instead of baby steps.. there are so many awesome things that could be done in dayz. survival wise.. crafting wise.. yes crafting is still in dev. big time.. I know that.. stuff is all subject to change.. etc. etc. etc. but this gives people good ideas on what to do with their free time.. or the fact that in 30-40 patches gorka military/ttsko/cargo pants/hunting pants-jackets etc. aren't that easy to come by anymore.. nor would the backpacks be 'up for grabs' after 5 min of running through cherno forcing people to craft their own stuff... and wear more primitive clothing instead of 50 slots worth of ammo/guns/med supplies.. because they sport full TTSKO/high cap vest/plate carrier+pouches and a mountain backpack or hunting backpack

listen mate... I damn well know what to expect from an early access game.. - doesn't work like it should - 'due to change/subject to change/may change' is in every update - takes loads of time to get stuff done - doesn't work like it should - isn't optimized/perfect in any way - doesn't work like it should - takes a shit ton of time to get going, let alone finish - doesn't work like it should ^ did I mention.. stuff isn't working like it should and everything is subject to change?

nice kills man.. good use of camo and the plants :D

there are over 40 guns in the game... WHY so many guns (because Russia!) <- WHY SO MANY GUNS!!!! the only thing they need to do (if you don't like this GTA/GOAT simul) is make the cars abundent.. but the parts (spark plugs/wheels/car battery) etc. etc. etc. etc. extremely rare.. want a car? fine! :D goodluck finding a wheel for the next hour and a half.. that'll drastically reduce the car jackers 'because we need to lug 20.000.000 rnds of ammo to our base) and give more interaction/trading/stick ups in general thus more action in the game.. have you seen The Walking Dead? how many cars does that show have? (yes its a bigger country.. still has shit tons of cars/gas) have you seen Z nation? how many cars does that show have? (yes its a bigger country.. still has shit tons of cars/gas) ^ both these series are post-apoc settings like dayZ is...

(We're) playing a survival game after all not a GTA simulator. ^ NOR is this G.O.A.T. walking simulator.. (yes this is now a walking simulator) because for all the time I've played the mod/standalone.. 2/3 of that time has been on foot.. 1/3 (mostly the mod time) was in choppers and cars. thank you very much :D and then again.. whats wrong with more cars in the game.. there are over 40 guns in the game... WHY so many guns (because Russia!) the only thing they need to do (if you don't like this GTA/GOAT simul) is make the cars abundent.. but the parts (spark plugs/wheels/car battery) etc. etc. etc. etc. extremely rare.. want a car? fine! :D goodluck finding a wheel for the next hour and a half.. that'll drastically reduce the car jackers 'because we need to lug 20.000.000 rnds of ammo to our base) and give more interaction/trading/stick ups in general thus more action in the game..

depends... do you think eating berries is a logic thing to do? what if the devs never told us blue berries are the bad one's or they add roots in the game.. poison ivy anyone? living off the land is what that's called.. look it up.. there are tribes in the world.. that don't own a supermarket or an IKEA and they know exactly what they can eat... if you have 2-3 types of mushrooms.. in game... you'd have 3 choices.. 1 gets you killed, one makes you sick.. the other is just fine :) because mushroom soup is a thing ya know :)

a few low key vehicles (dirt bike/quad/scooter/bicycle) ^ vehicles that hold 3-4 slots (MAX) of inventory space.. so it doesn't become a pack mule but rather a basic transport utility. getting from point A to B.. as quickly as you can.. a quad or dirt bike aren't that valuable at all (not to the people that use transportation to stock up their bases with enough guns to start 4 world wars in the next 3 months) plus the fact like you've said dayZ is rural country.. so what do you need in a country like this? a lexus IS300? with 700 BHP to drag race? NOPE.. you need something sturdy that'll go off road, through the woods to take you places you'd never go on foot (or would go but it takes ages)

thank you very very very very much.. for standing by me with these facts.. I'm originally from the netherlands.. (amsterdam anyone?) half our economy derives from cannabis and export of Tulips and seeds.. thank you for explaining the logic behind things like alcohol and cannabis in game.. things that people like @Deathlove don't understand in the slightest way or manner.. because 'drugs are bad M'kay' why have morphine (a highly addictive lab perfected drug/painkiller) that only heals broken legs (last time I checked morphine doesn't do that at all) but not cannabis (natural sedative/painkiller that has been around since the stone-age) mushrooms? Psilocybin: is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound produced by more than 200 species of mushrooms, collectively known as psilocybin mushrooms. The most potent are members of the genus Psilocybe, such as P. azurescens, P. semilanceata, and P. cyanescens, but psilocybin has also been isolated from about a dozen other genera. As a prodrug, psilocybin is quickly converted by the body topsilocin, which has mind-altering effects similar, in some aspects, to those of LSD, mescaline, and DMT. ^ DayZ has a load of mushrooms in its woods already.. so why not use them for mushroom soup, with the 1/200 chance of finding a 'magic' shroom and tripping balls for 20 min in game.. (blurry screen/staggering/different colors in 1st person) and no alcohol (because that has been a part of human culture and history mead anyone?) since the dawn of time.. mead/honey wine (has been around for 8000 years at LEAST mead, comes from India and was used/consumed by Germanic cultures all throughout the world (Ethiopië - detej - to Scandinavia. DayZ is all about 'your story' right folks? what is a story without some in-depth gameplay.. and yes that also involves drugs/alcohol because people have ALWAYS been known (just check any random world war or conflict) what do you barter with when everything is shot to hell? or gone to shit? precious metals precious stones alcohol tabacco drugs (cannabis) medicine food

then being there says a thing or 2... ;) just saying.. a post apoc game without drugs/alcohol!! really? you didn't solve my riddle did you?.. doubtful you actually did.. its very hard :D then again... this is the apocalypse.. WHAT do YOU think are the most sought after things in a world like dayz? - Food - Water - Firearms - Ammunition - Tabacco - Alcohol - Drgus - Female companionship! :O I play on a RP server... so yes these things would improve the experience of 'your story' <- isn't this what dayz WANTS to be/become/look like? all these things don't apply on a pvp/rambo will be here/COD server like most publics..

I've seen and heard about weed/alcohol being in the PBO files (takes another toke from his joint) happy trails fellow camper :D

'As much as im against the use of this kind of shit i think it should be a choice available to players in game. Including all the horrible side effects and stuff that go with it.' <- you are obviously bible or southpark smart when it comes to drugs.. I wasn't talking about heroin/meth amphetamine/cocaine or some other form of gutter cleaner.. you might perceive as a drug.. I was talking about weed/hasj/cannabis.. if you have any idea about not only the negative things.. but also the positive things.. I mean weed has been around longer than religion let me tell you.. and.. 'the horrible side effects and stuff that go with it.' <- you're talking about alcohol here.. and weed.. only things these 'drugs' do is get you drunk/tipsy OR chill you the hell out/relieve pain. (yes cannabis in certain degrees is a painkiller!) just like your pill popping pharma company you pay a shitload of money to each time you get sick.. so please darling.. educate yourself before going on a 'drugs are bad because mommy said so' rampage :D thank you and like it said: I've seen and heard about weed/alcohol being in the PBO files ^ in short.. its already in the program file.. but NOT in game/visualized yet then again... this is the apocalypse.. WHAT do YOU think are the most sought after things in a world like dayz? - F - W - F - A - T - A - D - F the reason people steal all these cars.. is so they have storage space.. not so they can drive around in them.. I play on a RP server.. yes cars are a good choice for transport.. and i'm not talking about a V3S and a sedan in general.. i'm talking about a quad or motor cross bike.. (holds.. 2/4 slots?) so no use for hauling HUGE ass gear in.. just to get you from point A (the coast maybe?) to point B (tisy military base/elektro/zelonogorsk/svetlojarsk? you name it man.. ;)

listen... dayz... is NOT the most fluid game on the market.. nor is it the best working game in the past decade.. lets agree on that.. thus.. adding MORE stuff will NOT (at this point) make it better... be fair.. you don't need to 'do research' to know dayz is a LOOOOONG way from being what we HOPE it will someday be.. I mean.. 40 patches! 40 patches dude.. until 1.0... AFTER 1.0.. 5 more YEARS! to do what exactly? zombie HORDES are all fine and dandy.. but they should first get stuff to work.. before they add 100 new features.. then 85 break... they fix 10.. they break 3 they fix 5 they break 1 (rinse and repeat) endless problem upon endless problem.. is what you get when adding 100's of features.. i mean? eating zombies? 'game audio'? rings a bell? the ingame voip is terrible quality in general... 21st century.. where's true HD audio? when you need it?

in ordinary folks tongue: that'll never happen because the game engine can barely hold itself together at this stage.. what good would adding something like you're suggesting do the game.. apart from making for more clunky game mechanics/shit that breaks/more trouble for the devs.. and did I mention more stress on the engine that's struggling already?

Apply guts to face and hands to allow you to "walk among the infected" without being detected.. and other fun things. <- probably something that'll be added in version 100.3.23.4.78 because devs... lol no man.. doubt that'll ever happen in game.. nor the chopping up zombies.. something called the game engine.. hasn't been working since day one.. and probably never will.. with all the features their trying to add in.. just saying. cool dream you're havin' right there.. but come on dude.. keep it real...

very wise choice because exp is not for 'playing' the game.. its for 'testing' game mechanics. and 12 yo kids tend to forget that.. clog up the servers and don't report jack.. so that's the problem.. even the trolls found their way to exp. squeely/squeecky troll kids..

well I hate to bring it to ya mate.. but 'welcome to dayZ Standalone... welcome.. to dayz standalone Experimental
