When was the last time you fired up the game?

At bloody work 😶 Might be on after ten tonight though 🤔

Oh god, no. Not a third person server. How very dare they 🙄

Am I for real? Why, for asking a question? I asked the question because I genuinely have no clue what he's talking about. I have had no issues picking things up and I've had no inventory issues.

It's like having kids on the approach to Christmas in this forum. "has he been, has he been?" The best part is that everyone moaning about how the update is taking so long will be the same ones moaning about the update when it comes. 🙄

What issues are you having with inventory use and loot pick up?

Pure gold 🤣

I'm pretty sure they just said this month. Another week to go yet. I guess it'll be here when it's here.

I'm not sure that's necessarily true. I'm not really disputing the issue in question, but, I think you'd be surprised how shaky it is looking through a scope. Smooth? Maybe for a trained marksman.

I'd have to agree. I have two characters. One is, or rather was, a character I only used when my mate was playing with me but he sold his xbox. So now I mainly only play one character. But certainly I don't see the problem having a character for a role play server and one for other purposes. I suppose it could be abused by having multiple geared characters camping an area. When private servers are introduced I will probably run two separate characters again.

I wondered the same. What are the benefits, faster repairs, chopping etc?

That looks pretty good actually

That sounds like an interesting solution. Don't think I've seen the video but if you come across it again post the link, I'd be interested to see it.

Not sure either, though a friend that played pc for years said he thinks they tweaked it so that the viewpoint is slightly lower so it's harder or less effective than it used to be. Thinking about it, I'm sure this is potentially what they've done because I am sure old Frankie videos the camera was slightly higher? I'll have a look when I get a chance.

Quoting all of it doesn't help your argument, but feel free. Never heard of the DPB, but all forms of media, ALL, edit information to suit their own purpose. This is nothing new. There is no such thing as unbiased reporting of information. Anyway, I digress. I understand that you don't like 3pp. That's cool. But it has ALWAYS been in the game and will ALWAYS be in the game. Again, I don't know why you have such an issue with it as you don't have to play it. A lot of players DO like it. A lot of those players are not the sort of person you describe. With regards advantage over other players, I had a think about what you've said. I understand what you've said. But I also feel that DayZ is all about tactical awareness. Anyone that sees you first has the advantage whatever mode you play in. And more often than not, in a hostile engagement, this can determine the outcome. I like 1pp but feel that the angle of view is not natural. IRL we have peripheral vision which is the reason Dean Hall added 3pp to more closely simulate this. It gives a broader peripheral awareness. Obviously seeing your character is not a realistic viewpoint, but the peripheral awareness certainly feels more natural than the tunnel vision of 1pp. Either way, there is room for both modes in the game and we are each able to choose our preference.

Yeah, i picked the relevant parts rather than quote a whole stream of text. Again, nobody is forcing you to play 3pp so I don't know why you have such an issue with it.

... But you can do this too. ... And you're not alone in perpetuating this myth... If its good enough for Frankie, it's good enough for me. At the end of the day, you don't have to play third person if you don't want to. But you also don't need to belittle players who choose to play third person.

I'm not trying to justify anything. People still camp in 1pp whether you believe it or not. The playing field is even in 3pp because everyone can do it if they choose to. With regards TMRZ, yes he does do that but he has also stated that he enjoys playing both. I have no preference of one mode over another. I play both. Mostly I play on 1pp on 3pp too. But to say that people who play on 3pp are kiddies is, well, something a kiddie might say. Kinda like 'my dad is bigger than your dad'. I don't know why people have to bang on about it. You have the choice so don't insult people for making a choice.

No, 1pp servers are full of idiots too. Every time I go into 1pp server I find dupers and kos players. I've had far more positive interactions on 3pp servers. I don't know why people think 3pp is somehow an inferior mode. I don't see people complaining about TRMZ, Mr Blackout, Sada, or every other big streamer playing in 3pp.

Tracking a moving target at 300 meters would be hard in real life. There is no auto aim like you're used to in the CoD games so it will take some getting used to. All the more rewarding when that shot finds it mark though. Also, think of it the other way round. If someone is taking pot shots at you from 300 meters, you want it to be difficult!

Ditto. Occasionally I have stashed a barrel in a river or buried a chest. I've rarely gone back to them. Only once when I was building a car. It was so much hassle stripping it down and burying the parts every night and it still got stolen! Now I just travel light with a stove and hunt animals.

I still think that I would be happy with just having the ability to board a house up and lock the door without it unlocking upon server restart. This seems more survivorish to me. I imagine it would need to be balanced somehow otherwise half the houses in solnichy would be locked up! Maybe just certain buildings such as apartments. Just my thoughts anyway.

Bases are still too easy to get into without needing to ghost. Base breach is easy with a hatchet. It should be harder.

I liked it in the old mod where you needed a satchel charge or a chain saw, some very rare in the game. Or make the sledgehammer so heavy to carry that it makes it really awkward to carry around, make it really sap your stamina to carry one.

Yeah, I'd maybe have 3/1 day/night ratio and keep loot default. I'd even be inclined to make ammo a bit more scarce. Maybe slightly increase durability of tools too if it was an option. I don't mind having to repair things, but sometimes it feels that tools wear out far too quickly and I don't like to use the duct tape exploit.
