Most pvpers are focused on players anyway, so no difference if you make the Zs more intelligent. Due to the infection i think they mindset is reduced to a minimum state anyway.

Does it look like the textures are beeing torn apart and you have a weird colored sky? It only happened to me when i went back to the coast. So far it was ok inland.

What would you gain except beeing shot by the next player with the cheapest weapon around? Nobody could replicate the behaviour of a mindless creature....i must correct myself there actually are mindless players around lying in bushes with scoped rifles who would be perfect in playing a Z.

How can you call yourself friendly? There are enough unarmed players who would gladly attack you if they had any chance of executing a roundhouse kick, believe me. And how can you assume that an armed player is hostile? They can be as friendly as you are yet you put them in the same bag as bandits...that's a bit contradictory isn't it?

It's worth it believe me. It's like a different game. My folders say about 3 gigs.

You have to think out of the box. Most pvp games don't have 3rd person but they are arcadish. ArmA which is supposed to simulate realism supports 3rd person due to the fact that it is mainly a pve game, i don't count the comment of a BIS member that you can see the models better and because of the feel you get when you move your body around. It's funny how players want a realistic experience so they start playing ArmA yet they refuse to play it in 1st person. We had these discussion over and over in the ArmA leagues, in the end nothing really happened. Everyone didn't want to give away their advantage of having a third eye or beeing able to see what's going on outside their tank which made them virtually untouchable unless you were good with AT launchers at longer ranges or got them from behind. Yet everyone complained how unfair it is....contradiction anyone? There also needs to be a poll about graphics setting someday. You should not be able to completely turn off any setting that could give you an advantage f.e. with shadows turned off, post processing off because beeing wounded makes you view blurry. Even the mediocre rigs should be able the handle minimum settings on every detail aspect.

It's really a safety issue, i bet a lot of players were shot from teammates because they didn't put their guns in a safe place ( lower weapon ) before interacting with the backpack. I removed the LMB execute action to avoid accidental discharges and lower the weapon when i acces a backpack. I happened often enough that a weapon was discharged unintended hitting somebody. In the A.C.E. Tac group i am playing everyone is told to put their weapon to safe when they are not in combat. At least you should be able to safety your weapon in certain situations. One reason: You can't lower a pistol.

Idiot yourself. You can reconnect then you get a free refill, at least until Rocket finds a solution. You won't need another mag anyway, i bet you are one of those camping outside of towns sniping players for nothing then DC when the Zs close in.

What problems? You can't just throw in such a post and not give an example. And when was the last time you played A.C.E.? Maybe you played a bugged mision like many players and blame it on the mod. A server had an A.C.E.2 Domi running and after every change it got worse. I told it was the mission that was overloaded with scripts, others told it was the mod or the server...the first assumption was right.

Looks like i did. I would say the guns are zeroed the 1/2 or 1/3 of the effective bullet range. f.e. 200m for the M16/M4 maybe 100m for the M1014 because the bullet drop is really strong on this gun. BIS published a list on how they zeroed the guns, didn't find it yet. Edit, found it but it wasn't as informative as i remembered. http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA_II_Hints_and_Tips#The_ArmA_II_Bible see bullet drop and zeroing.

It's not unfair unless you are the one hiding behind a corner letting the other player come at you then pop up and shoot him, which is a huge advantage for the hiding person. 1st person gives players equal chances when they have an encounter at a corner or have no LOS. Whoever wants to see whats around the corner has to stick his head outside which puts both on equal footing. As for anything else, players want DayZ to be hard so why not disable all helpers?

Have you been camping too long and got wet? I don't know of any way how you could have gotten sick unless you got an infection ( either Zombie or sick due to undercooling ) Normally the temp you see should represent your body temp, you should get weak below 38°. They say 42° is normal although you would be dead IRL by then.

May i assist with active euthanasia? jk Don't you have any fellow players? I don't think many players will volunteer in helping you due to the same reasons you gave: "I won't tell you my location until..." How can they be sure that you dont have friends watching? btw... are there any EU/GER rescue squads?

I'm for a personal online pass that you have to put into your computer, with face check and all. Like the license thing in the cab in the "The 5th Element" Even if underage players are mature enough it doesn't change the fact that law or whoever made this decision forbids them to play a game due to age verification. I met my share of immature underaged and mature players around, the most childish were of course the ones who ruin other peoples time by not playing by the rules, exploiters and hackers.

Typical i bought ArmA 2 because i heard DayZ was so popular and a great game, then reality shocked me. How about not believing every single word in those blogs out there? DayZ is a harsh game with idiots running around killing others for nothing. There are enough hints in the forum and the wiki that helps you survive longer. Now give me back the time i needed to write this post.

Schreibt mich mal bei Interesse an, wir sind im moment drei, eigentlich mehr aber die haben entweder keine Zeit oder eher keine Lust. Wir sind zwischen 18 und 36 + einen U18. Wir haben sogar das eine oder andere Nordlicht in der Gruppe. Wenn die anderen ja sagen können wir uns mal beschnuppern. Wir spielen ausschliesslich auf veteran / no crosshair / no tag Servern. Wir spielen Überlebende was aber nicht ausschliesst dass wir doch den einen oder anderen Mitspieler der nicht zur Gruppe gehört aufs Korn nehmen. Wir sind oft nur zu zweit unterwegs, aber mit mehr Leuten bieten sich auch mehr Möglichkeiten. Ihr könnt bestimmt das eine oder andere lernen, Ihr dürft es uns nur nicht sofort übel nehmen wenn wir euch mit unserern virtuellen Stiefelabsätzen treten, das Leben in DayZ ist hart. Wenn Ihr uns überlebt kann Euch nur noch die eigenen Dummheit das virtuelle Leben kosten. :D

Some day Rocket will make it that you can only own one of each item so you can't dupe them...

I'd never send a squad of soldiers on foot to deal with a threat on the ground, i'd just send some russian bombers and nuke the place. End of story, suggestion is just bad and a lame excuse to get your hands on military equipment. Go play vanilla if you want to have military stuff.

Spawning only is a bad solution imo. You always know: Zombies running around = Player close. There should be a certain amount of stationary Zombies that are always roaming the landscape / towns. Rocket should use the free ( zombie optimization ) ressources to place them.

As far as i'd love to the the A.C.E. features in DayZ 99.9% of the weapons and vehicles are not necessary for the game. If anyone wants to use that stuff they should play A.C.E., you can even use the six updater to load it ( the little arrows on each side of the upper left corner ). ArmA is more than just DayZ, it's BF1-3, CoD, MW and Rambo 1-4 with A.C.E. mod.

Go to Berezino, there are Zs but at least you rarely see players, at least where i played i haven't encountered that much people. Even NWAF was safe although it's supposed to be a deathtrap...no snipers hanging around there except me when i was still using a scoped rifle.

It's a fixed sight not a sniper rifle. Even the holo version has no settings but at least you can measure the distance ( if they modelled the ring correct ). But unfortunatley the holo is not in the game.

I bet he just missed you and hit the Zs by accident!! jk :) Well i had an encounter where the sniper would try to hit me instead of the 10 Zs running after me, what a shame.

Found a L85AWS and a FAL AN/PVS-4 in less than 10 minutes.

I think the idea is ok, nobody in their right mind except pvpers run around with their safety off, if you could actually shoot yourself you would appreciate the safety function. It probably saved a lot of players lives in A.C.E. 2 because they were told to switch to safe when they didn't need the gun. And you always have enough time to switch to fire when you encounter a player.
