Fraggle (DayZ)

It's one of those wierd ones where I genuinely can't work out if it's a troll or not. If it is it's a winner, if not I fear for the OP's mental health.

Agreed. TBH if it releases with very limited content I'll just hold of playing for a bit. I did the same with KSP, when I bought it initially there was only about 4 rockets and the moon now it has a whole solar system and and countless parts to build with.

Cars probably will be held back because they want to over-haul the whole system to allow for customisation, damage of specific parts (visible) etc but there will be guns. Maybe not the full compliment of guns that we'll have on full release but there will be guns. They're not just porting Arma stuff in, they're adding new models textures ect. for every gun so after initial release guns will probably keep being added as they develop them in the regular updates.. Edit - BTW don't quote me on this, really at this point nobody except the devs know what content there will be on initial release.

Fear not Victus, there will be guns. Let's not forget the new attachment system too.

It's a first for me too but I honestly think it could be the game for this guy.

The thing is, Arma's selling point is that it's basically a toy-box full of military goodies that you can mess around with as much as you want. DayZ's selling point is the struggle to salvage every single item you can find (and not dying). Making a mode where people can basically spawn themselves any item they want to practice/mess around/make films detracts massively from the experience IMO. The devs have talked about giving peeps options to make their lives easier when it comes to recording vids but I hope this isn't the option they go for. When DayZ first became popular it was because of all these crazy vids of people having these experiences you couldn't find in any other game, it was all genuine too, not the scripted stuff that's so popular now days. Just my 2 cents.

WarZ could well be the game for you! It literally has everything you're looking for!

Ahhh, no. 375, a true classic.

Lego art, this where it goes, makes more sense with pics though :)

Yeh, I never read the YT comments section for any vid I watch, it's usually just full of bile and pointless shite.

I think you should go for it anyway if you'll enjoy doing it. Just because some others have done similar doesn't mean you shouldn't give it a crack. I don't really watch DayZ Youtubers but I'm sure there's room for everyone.

Wiv all dat in mind imma gonna lok dis OP has his answer.

Yeh, that's a pretty big issue. TBH I'm not a fan of the whole humanity system anyway and never have been, it's too black and white. I like to be a medic but I kill people that are a threat fairly often too so it's a grey area. Anyhoo, in the situation above I wouldn't shoot.

Interestingly, last night DayZ was the second most viewed game on Twitch beaten only by League of Legends. Not bad really.

Yeh I pretty much agree. I'd be happy to see sniper rifles stay but only if they required more upkeep, weighed more so that you had to carry them at the expense of other items and required more skill to use (wind etc.). With those things in place only somebody that has spent time with the weapon and practiced will be an effective sniper. Also, a lot of the arguments I've seen both for and against them haven't taken into account the many more complex game mechanics we're likely to see in the SA.

The devblogs are your friend. Devblog

I think what they may do with the TOH flight mechanics could be the way forward. The heli's in that are pretty much the same to fly but they just feel better and are affected by turbulence etc. They just require a bit more skill to fly well because you have things like engine torque that affect the flight model.

Chiilout fella! You're putting a lot of words in his mouth, he didn't say half of those things, your anger from other threads and other peoples reasoning is spilling over into this thread. His post count has nothing to do with it, I have nearly 10,000 posts and I agree with him, my mate has played as long as me and has about 20 posts on here so let's not go down that road. It's nothing to do with getting shot and not being able to deal with it, It's just an opinion on what he feels would be right for the SA. I'd personally love to see some decent hunting rifles like the CZ so that people can fulfill sniper/long -range roles but an AS50 loaded with anti-material rounds has never sat well with me in the mod and I hope it's not in the SA. Heli's I'm not so bothered about, I'm undecided. I love that feeling you get in the mod when you hear a heli in the distance or flying over and the paranoia it gives you but if they we're to be removed (which I don't think they will) I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. In fact if they use the flight model from TOH then I'd love to see the heli's stay. Or maybe not, I really can't decide.

Amber is your man really if he can't diagnose the problem we're all doomed. If anyone else reports the same issue then I can ask our web guys, let me know if it continues.

Well to be fair the game hasn't really had a traditional inception so there's no standard practice to follow. When the game is announced and then released in alpha it will follow a more traditional route.

Well the OP feels it would "reward those who spend the time to explore the world & those who are not scared of fighting head to head with other players."

OP would like there to be no sniper rifles or helis in the SA ;)

No actually I agree.

So you basically want a completely different game? Cool! There's loads of em, have fun. If Rocket wore a suit this game'd be finished by now.

Good luck, I'll ask a few peeps too just in case there's any more knocking around. Like I say though remember that although (for me) it's way better optimised it's still a graphically intensive game.
