Thing bugging me is how long it takes to get your compas out, takes like 2 seconds. Anyway what I mean to say is that I hope the standalone has gotten rid of them clunky arma-esk movement like standing still to switch weapons and such.

Great that you have friends what want to play this with you but I don't have anyone that's intrested in playing this with me so I'm forced to either play alone or with steam friends I don't know in real life. That's the fucking reasing why. Oh and btw, you seem like a new player? By the time they have 4000 zombies running on one server and gun sounds luring them properly you won't killing players for fun anymore that often. And when they do in the aplha I'd rather have them running through buildings than getting stuck on them to prevent it being to easy once again.

Don't say that too quickly, you might not be able to check if the kill was justified but I could imagne making a check for kos. It would check with a vision cone with a vision cone wehter a player is sighted and how long it takes the players to shoot, you coud also check who attacked first while in the vicinity of anyone else. Or check the raycast from the players. Could be fun to graph things :D

lol try tapping the left alt twice it should toggle head-movement. So in your case it will probably toggle it back to crosshair movement, and you can hold alt to move your head.

Haha ricochet.

Hi i don't seem to be able to pass the goddamn captcha at the bohemia forums for whatever reason, i just dont know what it wants from me!! Anyway, so i will post this here seeing it is kind of related and there are some people here that know more about it than i do. I'm having very poor performance with my new videocard (name in the title yeah) and it doesnt make any sense, i've set it to low and i get 13 fps. Have no idea why, my previous 5830 could run it just fine. Specs: ASUS p7p55d i7 860 @ 2,6 ghz 8 GB RAM OCZ 120 GB SSD Sapphire 7950 OC

Mh this is not neccesarily about DayZ but about singleplayer Arma 2.

Yeah i didn't quite catch that, anyway i've fiddled for a while with the settings without any result...so im out of ideas. i have the catalyst 12.8 drivers so that should be fine.

I just hope rocket would still be so kind to finish the mod for ArmA II, in the terms of finish what you started.

Well i heard about players that have been playing this for 200 hours already so...

Well animal meat already provides a great amount of blood plus you have to risk shooting them and going out into an open field most of the time so...

I don't really get people who feel this way about it, i know there are people out there at night that could have NVG but regulars can see me as good as i can see them. Also at night zombie vision drops to one stripe. I'd say this game is easier at night if you are not up against people with NVG. Wish i could feel about it this way though.

1982 RAM means 2 GB i presume. I also think you have DDR2, rather than DDR3. If you don't have a lot of money to spare i would say get a AMD 6850 and 2GB more memory. But if you are wiling to buy a whole new computer (Because the one you have is pretty much outdated regarding games like this) then i would say please do because having a quad-core is a standard nowadays especially for gaming. If you were to buy a new one i would advise one with a 6950 videocard (200 euro, 80 more than a 6850) somekind of i5 2500k or i7 processor or a AMD FX8120 processor for ~€170 (this one is alot cheaper than the previous one's and it is an octa-core (8 cores) instead of a quad-core (4 cores)). RAM is fairly cheap you can get 8GB for €40 so that's not a biggie.

Correction title; "What is the developer working on right now?"

Imagine yourself playing on a server looting something in a dangerous place like NWA, Stary or Cherno, Elektro whatever... and then suddenly being disconnected. When you log on again you spawn instantly and bam someone sees you spawning and you're dead. To prevent this, i suggest to spawn invisible while being unable to move. During 3-5 seconds you will be able to look around if there is anyone there (with ALT) if you want to spawn during this time you press enter. if you dont press enter then you disconnect. It wont work multiple times rapidly after eachother, it will only work every 30 minutes or so (to counter people waiting in ghostmode for people to come). If you reconnect right after you have already spawned as a ghost already you will just normally spawn like you would always do. You could take a break for example, respawn look around in ghost mode and if there is somebody there to shoot you, you decide not to spawn. Offcourse you could hop to another server but hey are we ever going to prevent that. This will prevent situations like i've mentioned at the start. And spawning is not "realistic" or "authentic" in any way to i think it fits.

In my first post i explained a situation where you are disconnected unwillingly, you can obviously hide in the woods yes that is what i mostly do but what if you disconnected in a more dangerous area because you had to go or your internet failed on you.

lol, so where is the achievement in that xD?

Could removing the zombies/murders kills etc. from the debug monitor not work better. They work like a scoreboard right now, when actually your score should be how long you have survived. So you could rather replace it with surviving time in days/hours/minutes displaying that. This mod is about survival afterall.

Sounds like a good way to do at least somekind of an identification while we arent able to change our appereance (in alpha/beta), and even then offcourse it would still have a functionality. Only i don't know what is easier, implementing this or implementing the ability to change your outfit.

Sorry to spoil your diabolical scheme there (humor) but as i typed already you won't be able to spawn as a ghost if you disconnect and come right back, you will have to wait for 30 minutes or shorter/longer for the ghost spawn to be enabled again. You will just spawn like you usually would if you do a quick disconnect/reconnect into the same server.

Nah you can easily kill groups of 20 like this, only you have to find a steep hill. Thats trickier north, but if you're north already you might as well loot a weapon already.

It's only been released for 3 months or so and rocket is the only one working on the code right now.

Spawn on the coast and log out, live forever.

Would be pretty awesome with unreal engine 4 to see the wall of a house blown up because someone has been there. Btw this is a RPG using cryengine 3 http://www.panzar.com/screenshots.html
