There's nothing wrong with the current system, this is the internet, people just hit dislike out of spite. Might aswel focus on the positive side of things.

People really, really love how Disney visually identify the heroes and the villains in it's movies... It's just a convention for small children stories you know. In the real world villains look like you and me, it's just that everyone always look horrible in mugshots.

Well maybe not a challenge, but lets say you have to be a little alert.

1.Because without 3rd you lose the overhead view that gives you a lot of undeserved information to assess whether it's "quiet" or not. Whether you actively abuse it or not, your camera is still bolted higher that you should be able to see, negating completely the huge drawbacks of the prone position, and negating most of the effect of camouflage (you see low walls, small bushes and grass from a top down view (at close range), where those objects offers the least concealment. Also you see what's going on directly in your back! 3.Yes but this is not an "RPG" and it's not a "toon" it's supposed to represent you in the game world, games don't all have to behave like their predecessors.

That's the point, you're not supposed to be able to run back to your carcass, bodies have to despawn for obvious reasons, the delay is there so people have a chance to plunder your body.

The only fix would be some serious dev time spent improving the VOIP system so it's simple to use, clear, low bandwidth/lag, just make it more natural to use.

I do believe the devs made looting a bit of a scavenger hunt on purpose.

True, and games are made with fairy dust.

Welcome to the world of computer programs, sandboxing, virtualization and also "i have a spare laptop for TeamSpeak". Where one program can run into a context where they only see what you want it to see.

They should use the receiver feature, tap tap the forward key to run :)

Because then you can figure out which cheat stopped working and it can then be relayed back to it's creator. Same reason VAC waits for a while before applying the bans. Likewise they cannot tell you any information about what got you flagged because this is a war of attrition, it's about wearing down the opposing side by making it lose money (refunds on non working hacks), waste it's time and energy (update hacks) and making intelligence gathering confusing (which of my cheats still work, is this one still ok?).

Yeah but forwarding a port is for outside -> inside, writing rules there doesn't change the inside -> outside behavior. And if they have a crazy home network, there are non technical ways to solve it, plug yourself directly to the modem and see if the problem is still there. If yes, yell at your ISP, of not, your not as good at networking as you thought you where.

Maybe they want players to test something else than M4s and revolvers?

Opening ports has zero impact on whether clients get desynced or not, the server need to have ports open because it is listening for connections. Since the client is initiating the call and that no weird P2P networking is used on arma, this is not required, on the client. It makes me sad how gamers today know so little about the basics of TCP/IP networking that they yet use everyday for gaming.

Why is it that for some people every single problems find it's solution in private servers? DayZ SA is barely past the functional proof of concept stage and you expect them to already work on anti cheat features?

Offhand objects - such as flashlights - would be okay, but two weapons? let's be serious for a minute.

Hello! Grass is expensive to render, and by that i mean that every time you double the grass rendering distance, you quadruple it's rendering cost.

This is the suggestion forum, why don't you post a suggestion?

I've met my fair share of "idea guys" proclaiming to be developers or designers whose portfolio remain desperately void of anything noteworthy.

BUT I like RUSTY SPOONS :(

Shouting tend to increase compliance... at least according to law enforcement :)

Well with 150 man servers that's 3 times the capacity of the current servers, so we would only need a quarter of the servers we currently need. That's easier to manage, less machines to keep updated, less people to talk to. It reduce a lot of overhead.

I guess I have no choice but to take your word on that. :rolleyes: Military zombies where in the mod already.

Ah here comes all the armchair developers of the forum. No. Why? Because you use the tools you are the most comfortable with, not the "best", because without Arma, rocket would not have made the mod at all. I understand Epic, Crytek, Croteam, Valve and the others want to sell licenses to their engines... but the result is that GAMERS pick up the same stupid buzzwords instead of focusing on the end result, the game that will be produced. Engine choice matter for the developers, not for you.

Well not everyone hold you at gunpoint to replay the mythical scene from deliverance, it's not JUST that, if you can't suffer a little RP where you aren't fully in control you might as well play something else.
