LOL did you sleep with your protection on?? :lol:

Too much info to store and transfer imo....that's why login in already takes that long.

Because there is no way in making you an amateur in the game skillwise because the basic game was focused on the experienced soldier handling things in a simulated environment ( VBS where ArmA was downgraded from ) it's quite impossible to do so. Perky games with skill trees are made around these systems or actually most of the perks and skills are quite useless like f.e. in FarCry 3 where 50% of the skill were nice but useless.

He is refering to a quad or motorbike that is "carryable" meaning you can move it around and unflip it which is quite possible. Fo a car you should at least need 4 ppl, my buddy and i flipped car to the side while working on it and it was already quite difficult even after i salvaged the car including engine and transmission excluding axles. I am still wondering, they say DayZ is based on Wasteland so why did they remove these options in the first place?

Don't assume the vest is a kevlar vest, could also just be a normal vest without anything. BTT Any hit should have some effect no matter what caliber. I would be scared to shit even if someone was pointing a .22 at 200m at me even with the damage possibly beeing minimal. What you can't replicate in the game is the fear and if you give a player blurry vision to simulate disorientation and fear of something dangerous or whatever effect he/she will most likely only be annoyed by it and demanded it to be removed because it's unrealistic. Hightened senses or pain resistence aren't the only things that come from an adrenalin rush, shock is a very underestimated factor. We already have the suppression effect where the vision gets a bit blurry, shaky and the crosshairs shake.

That would be just another target practice for the same assholes that ruin the game...nontheless a good suggestion. Doesn't even need that much scripting on their side.

Not really much to do there than script the weather...

While i agree that a shout can get quite far i doubt that you will understand anything at all due to the other sounds surrounding you ( wind, grass, bushes, trees, wildlife ). I suggest you take a look at your settings, i had no problems playing with other players while running around each side of the town using direct com. To my surprise we heard eachother cleary...so did the enemy.

I'd rather have a tripwire attached to a nuke case...

There will still be a lot of people who will complain about the 1st person view...other games do share the same shaking or even have more shaking and almost nobody complains. The fov in most games is quite the same due to the same resolution + a bit more in certain games such as CoD but with a high enough fov it looks distorted and irritatiing. You still have my beans for the effort. Another option provided you have the budget is get a 21:9 monitor.

I you keep it fueled you have my beans...

Problem is the LOD at distances...i can run though the forest just fine and nobody can see me provided he is also in the forest and quite close. If however the person is at least 100m outside he can see a brown surface with some idiot running between the trees pretending to be invisible...same with the vehicles, even a green brownish vehicle or a camo tent that is supposed to conceal something sticks out like a sore thumb...and of course thanks to most servers running on noob mode you can see those funny dots on the edge of your screen which totally NOT give away things you wouldn't have seen at all... These dots only disappear on expert servers btw...at least with one of the settings in expert mode which you will never find in the other setup unless you copy paste it yourself.

Can you eat it...if yes i'm all for it!

You would have to do it on a small scale..with most of the servers resetting 3-4 times a day. And i doubt a lot of vehicles on the side of the road could have fuel otherwise why would they be left there?

Yes because you ears are in your head and not in the camera that is stuck behind your shoulder...One drawback when using 3rd person. Could be a bad setup...i was wondering why i had weird sounds too and found out i had it on stereo instead of 5.1

You only think that because you see more thanks to you camera angle...the fov is still the same. "Immersion"......theis ass...

gascan + box of matches = bbq Even the gear will be destroyed....

Even if you read a book you don't instantly know how it works..otherwise you wouldn't need over 3 years of training as an apprentice to learn the trade like we do in germany and even then you are still at level ZERO because you need experience. Skills you are referring to are more like learning by doing with a lot of trial and error on an amateur craftsman's level . Nobody can do everything, so i believe it should be key that people should be forced to work together in order to get somewhere. Lonewolves can only get that far even if they have a lot of skills. I stumbled over the series "Doomsday Preppers" in youtube where even the preppers would work with others and even encourage them to have a stable community and rebuild society as far as possible. And all of them rely on eachother.

I hate to shatter your dreams...but there are no .22 in the game and i wonder if they will actually create some considering they haven't even managed to remove the bugs in the game after working with the engine for over 10 years.

I heard this will be a server side setting to make it easy for pussy players who want a survival game with convinient stores and all.

That's what a lot of people don't want to be: pinned down..well most people play with tunnel vision anyway even when using 3rd person so it won't make a big difference if you turn it off. And the wider fov they claim is still the same, it only looks wider because the camera is behind you and you lose a lot of details at distance because the camera is set back which you can counter by using the zoom button to get the camera to your position...which is a funny solution to a stupid feature imo. Wider fov, night with moon, nvg and base radar didn't help my three victims either when i played wasteland yesterday night...and i even stole their AAA truck in the process while beeing shot at by their comrades whom i pinned down instead of having them pin me down by shooting whole magazines into their cover. They used VON and that's what i heard. *pop* *pop* Player1: "What the f*** why didn't anyone see him?" Player2: "..." Player3: "It's ok i have the truck" *pop* I had a lot more situations like these while playing DayZ and wasteland...with and without 3rd person...the only situation where i am caught with my pants down is when someone is camera peeking around a corner or proning behind a wall...

It's mostly a gpu driver problem..if you have the newest driver deactivate Windows Aero. I had a similar problem when i used the changing desktop background and it always kicked me out of the game, after that it never did it again.

Exaclty...if he has a vision on how the game should be played he shouldn't always listen to others who want it easy if he intends it to be difficult...in the end they still buy the game anyway - proof is the CoD franchise that releases the same game and graphics with the same shiity gameplay ( press e for effects, don't run over uneven tiled floors or you die ) where so many complain yet it's always bought by the millions...

If you have ever had a look at the game you would see that the 3rd person cam isn't physically attached to your body which is why it doesn't shake around that much or even not when you run around while the "headcam" shakes due to the shocks you have when you step on the ground. It's far from perfect but at least better than in any other shooter where the camera is always steady no matter what you do and of course you don't have a physical body. IRL it doesn't shake that much and the camera in the game is really awkwardly placed and the zoom is ridicolous ( which imo should be removed to give magnifying devices a reason to exist ) but yes...ArmA has a lot more to offer than other games together.

Metro was designed around the lighting system like f.e. Doom 3 while ArmA 2 was designed around the virtual reality core which gives you almost realistic feedback if they haven't broken the mechanics again... The so called ballistics in other shooters are far less realistic or let's say just rudimentary compared to ArmA. Yes, Battlefield also gives you the same feeling but it's all packed in 10m² and is all arcadish action and far less realistic, that's why the PR team switched to ArmA 2 because they didn't have to redo the "basics" thery wanted to have in the first place. Yes it's far from perfect but better than a game that is designed around a certain feature which would be nothing without said feature. ( f.e. Doom 3 with all lights on takes away the horror of darkness )
