A new clip is about $30 so i'll be sticking to TrackIR for some time. The one crap thing about TrackIR is the clip.. it's very easy to break.. mine has been held together with Sugru & Gaffa for ages!

Fair enough, when it becomes HD it has great potential. I still can't get my head around not being able to see my keyboard & HOTAS etc when using a Rift. But it will be very interesting to see what comes of the Rift.

I was once killed fully kitted up by a toilet door! I closed it while it its way and was squashed...(back in the mod ages ago)

OP this whole thread can be summed up by; "its alpha, critical content is missing, loot balancing & loot spawns are planned"

On the experimental server.. was near starving, in a town already looted.. house to house, nothing... then i find a tin of beans!! The most satisfying high end loot I've had the pleasure to find! :)

I found the sks and sks bayonet.. just no ammo! No berries yet.

I understand entirely.. i have a 4 year old and pregnant wife..so when RL calls.. But you spend the vast majority of your time in game in relative safety, so when RL does have to make you drop everything, its unlikely to cost you your life, and if it does, hell, RL is more important. Its a compromise worth paying, 30 seconds is nothing really.

On the 30 seconds log off. For those saying this is too long, imagine this: You engage a player(s), they fire back and take cover behind a building/tree. You wait for them to break cover.... how long to you wait, they may or may not have just logged off!! 30 seconds is not long to safely approach hidden players, they are either sat down (logged off) or pointing their guns at your approach. Its not long to make a flanking move... I'd prefer to see 60 seconds.

Yes.. works very well. Thanks. Does not remove 100% of the toolbar lag.. but removes the vast majority. A great help and improvement. Do It!

awwww geee boyyz am juz oaf to sow ma field! You have no taste.. i love this outfit! :)

In my present character I have green & orange jackets.. i wear the orange one when i don't want to be shot.. I keep the other one one in my pack...its worked so far.

Good suggestion OP. I assume zooming is meant to simulate concentrating your eyes focus.. not something you can do while running.

Tents should be removed when the owner is killed. That is what i would like to see. Death should mean starting again, not just running back to your stash.

I play like a 40 year old, Mainly because i am 40 ;) I'm gonna guess from your comments you are young.. and therefore maybe you have not gained the experience to use a mouse & keyboard correctly yet. Don't worry son, maybe you'll get it in a few years. :P I can see you now..

I've been playing on the Real Virtuality engine since the release of the 1st Arma.. I don't ever remember falling to my death. Maybe its just the way I play or maybe the way you play OP. The Real Virtuality engine is awesome for what it is designed for, I really can't understand the problems some of you have climbing stairs or ladders.. baffles me.

My advice... Due to the lack of content in the the Alpha, one of the few things you can do i make your own decisions. So my advice is to make your own way & decisions.

Clearly there is a very diverse player base, with very diverse visions on Dayz. Now we have a clear separation of 'normal' & 'hardcore', it is possible to cater for different sets of people. I've heard Rocket say his vision is along the lines of the film The Road & or Mad Max. What i would like to see in 'hardcore' more is: Very scarce ammo; finding a single 12 gauge shell should be an achievementLimited weapons; 95% of weapons should be malee.Very scarce military grade equipment; As scarce as hen´s teeth.No high end military equipment IR scopes, NVG or crap like that.Very dangerous zombies; should be the major threat in game.Requirement to really think, plan, be careful & work together in order to simply survive, let alone prosper.All camps or stashes removed when player dies, death means start again, period.Lots of crafting and improvised weapons and tools. Basically i want a bitch of a survival game in 'hardcore mode', where the environment is the threat and other players are just part of the danger, not the only danger. Normal mode can be its usual run of the mill shooter where everyone has decent rifle within an hour of looting for all I care, but please use hardcore mode to give us a challenging PvE game. I have faith it will be so!

What is the point of being killed if you have them? Just so you have to run back to them? The point is you could store kit you can't carry. Will they be less useful than we saw in the mod? Yes, but that is the point. Tents killed the mod for me. It took away the whole point of death. You are totally missing the point if you think the problem is solved by having 50 more weapons. The point is usable firearms should be rare, very rare. I'm aware of that. This is a suggestion section. I'm not complaining about the zombies now, just requesting they are extremely dangerous in the end. I don't agree at all. If the best weapon was a side by side 12 gauge and shells were very rare that would be the precious gun, not some DMR with 1000yrd scope. There are lots of potential 'end games' that have nothing to do with weapons. As i said if you just want another PvP shooter Dayz hardcore hopefully will not be for you. Dayz has the potential to be something different. You do realise this is a suggestion forum.. these are suggestions for the future not complaints about the game now. The only difference between hardcore and normal is the view setting. If you think the game is hard now.. well you wont like the game i hope Dayz becomes. Normal mode can stay with loot everywhere and lots of weapons to shoot zeds and each other, but i hope hardcore will become something else entirely.

Need help please. Name: Tommy Problem: Broken leg. (feel of some scaffolding!) Location: Crawling up the middle of the road 2km west of Solnichniy crawling west! My avatar is a white girl with a fetching orange jacket & pink baseball hat armed with a fire axe.

These ruined the mod.. I really hope if they come back they get destroyed if you die. Death should mean starting again, not just running back to your 'stash'.

Another "I know its an alpha but.." thread. Bravo.

Also worth knowing.. eating canned foods, i.e 'wet' foods hydrate you. Foods like rice, dried cereal etc dehydrate you...

I heard someone in a wood, about 3 km north of a group of trees.

I've been in search of a mosin...this life i've found many many m4s, magnums & fx45s, but not a single mosin! I could have equipped a platoon with M4s!

Well OP if you have been shot 30 times you need to consider that you are a lot of the problem. You must be running around like a headless chicken. If you don't get seen you don't get shot!
