    Stream Sniping A Huge Problem

    I dont know why the streamers dont add a delay to the stream. I know its possible as I'm an editor for a streamer and I have the ability to put a delay on the stream. I understand alot of them like to interact with the chat, but if ou dont want to get continually stream sniped then its a sacrifice you have to make. Besides you can still interact, the chat just gets a very delayed reply. Just put a 2-5 minute delay and the info/location that the stream snipers have is always old and not as accurate, which gives the streamer more of a chance against them.
  2. Well said Zombie Jesus. Very well said indeed.
  3. Landing a heli in first person isnt all that hard, you just have to keep and eye out and be aware of your surroundings. I used to always fly in 3rd person, but after watching Dyslexci's Art of Flight videos, I gave first person a try (same with infantry) and I loved it. The immersion level increased 10 fold. Landing in first person just takes practice. I love flying in first person, sure it can be hard when you have to look around without using TIR5 or something but its still brilliant! Also, the only time I use 3rd person is when running through an open field/long distance, purely because I have to aim my camera down towards the ground a bit to increase my FPS due to playing on a laptop. once a get my new comp it will be first person the entire time.

    Lost . . . but good?

    I had that lost moment recently, I spawned in Novy but didnt recognise it at all at night I ended up running straight north up the road for 20 min, then turned right, hit Gorka which I noticed from the large monument thing there ,as well as the sign leading out, I recognised as the one for Novy. By the time I was nearing Novy again I thought "wait....I've been here recently...I spawned here....god damnit!" Headed to Stary and passed out shortly after never to wake again.

    Cherno Hotel is MINE!!

    I dont mean to spur anything on, but you said you dont approve of sniper camping, How is a sniper supposed to play then? I admit techically they shouldnt stay in one spot after more than 2 shots, but 95% of a snipers role (if your talking about a real sniper) is essentially camping in an observation post, sometimes for hours or days, sometimes even up to a week at a time and watching, waiting and sending info back to a larger force and, on few occasions actually eliminate a target of opportunity such as a commander,nco etc etc. How this relates to DayZ? Sure the sniper may not have a 'large force' to deliver info to, but they can have clan mates. The same rules apply here, they shouldnt remain in the same spot for more than 2 shots, more than that and people tend to hear where the shot is coming from and start searching that area. In saying all that though, this is a game and people are free to play however they want, no one has to agree with another persons play style, there is no 'correct' way to play this game. Rabid. p.s. also I dont snipe in game much, I just read up alot on things that interest me.

    Can I Run DayZ Retail (POST HERE)

    Can someone reccommend a motherboard for this system? It turns out the the MSI Z77A G45 I had planned is now discontinued. Someone suggested a Z87x mobo but they are on an 1150 socket while my CPU is 1155. I'm currently looking at this mobo, thoughts please?: mobo: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/asrock-motherboard-z77extreme4 Current build: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/2mZz8

    Don't be afraid

    What i like about ToH is it forces you to take off and land carefully, too much throttle and you over torque the engine, destroying it. too little when landing and you just fall out of the sky. you also have the ability to land the helicopter if the engine fails, by flaring the nose at the last minute, and controlling speed when coming close to the ground. adds a definite challenge, but can still be figured out easy enough.
