I'd suggest slowly adding different ballistic mechanics one by one, at least to give non arma players chance with true realism, i'll admit that I'm not an original arma player, but at the same time realism is something I'd love to see implemented as well as it possibly could, but changing point and click to wind considerations, scope sway, barrel warping, bullet drop and unavoidable inaccuracy might be a bit too full on and I admit that I probably wouldn't touch a sniper if it suddenly became that difficult, but maybe having different server difficulties adding different mechanics would be a good way to implement it. I'd certainly support that and i'm apparently from the ezCODmode community.

To anyone having issues with unresponsive servers, I recommend running dayz with Dayz Commander (google it) I used to have major issues with finding working servers but there's an option that disables unresponsive servers from being displayed, incredibly useful imo.

Just don't worry about the winchester being a shotty, it's really convenient and that's probably why it exists, it's a gun that suits it's slot as a civilian's low tier primary weapon, it works and it works well most of the time, although it's true that normally you only find ammo for it with other winchesters.

My computer which cost me £605 (Keyboard/Mouse,Monitor,Fan,Power Supply,Tower,Win 7 inclusive) so around $900 plays most games on high including dayz, I know it's not $600 but i'm not sure about US pricing, all I know is that anyone in the UK who wants one, go to maplin, say you want to buy the parts to a new computer and ask them to build it, you pay for the parts and they build it for free, the best sevice i've ever known and it runs brilliantly, I have a quad core 3.6ghz AMD CPU that can be overclocked to 4.2 and has a core unlocker that lets it run 6 core, 8gb ram, asus HD6770 GPU and 1tb hardrive. Those probably cost me only £350 so reasonably, if you had enough space on your hardrive, you could upgrade your current desktop computer for £250 (~$500) to get a new mobo with RAM and CPU and a new graphics card. I won't ever have to buy a new computer ever again unless the sizing changes dramatically on parts.

This is northern russia, not brasil, were you expecting forests? Clouds tend to vary in height and darkness, you can have black clouds next to blue sky, doesn't mean it's half night half day... Zombies normally travel via the Zombie 'walk' it's not that they're not aggroed, they probably start running or 'dancing' towards you when you get closer... Cars need this thing called fuel, without they'd be stranded on the roadside, kind of exactly like that ^ in post apocalyptic environments they'd be looted within days Roads tend to be straight, if you call that linear gameplay, start running on grass... Guns and backpacks are designed from the same model irl, using a different one in game for each would be pointless and waste time, they still look realistic... Logo's aren't meant to be changed... if they were they'd just be names in different fonts, go and complain at mcdonalds that the logo is the same on every burger... If you're honestly being this critical it's obvious you don't enjoy playing this game, go away.

I think that more common vehicles makes sense, because vehicles are common, but seeing as this is post apocalyptic, there shouldn't be a working car on the map, because working cars would've already been stolen, instead it should be easy to find a vehicle and then the focus should be on finding the parts; going to industrial areas to find engine parts, searching through the shacks on the outskirts of towns for the windscreen glass, running up to a barn for a jerry can, filling it up on the way back, and then, only then driving off. It'd make people stop hiding their vehicles if it'd be a better use of them to drive around for spare parts and it'd provide a different gameplay aspect when fixing cars. Do you leave the car to find the parts? do you try and team up with someone? Do you lie in wait for some poor soul to fix up the car, shoot them and then drive off? plus it'd stop the KoS in larger towns if the person running past you could be the friend you need to help patch up a car and get the hell out of there.

Great work Rocket, even though you should just tell people to turn off anti aliasing and then work on other stuff :L but seriously great work, I know loads of people were being negative about the last patch but I played earlier and there's nothing wrong with it, good job :beans:

Nobody's said there aren't problems with this mod... most just choose to be supportive and constructive with what they say, yeah there are problems, I'm not gunna say that breaking your legs on a door frame occasionally isn't an issue, but if you think i'm gunna get pissy with rocket about it when he's juggling 15 different things at once in creating one of the best mods i've ever played, and he's allowing you free access to it, you're privileged to even be playing Dayz.... If you honestly can't see that then have fun being that narrow minded when you grow up, i'm sure it won't cause any problems at all...

Do you realise what an alpha test is? we are the testers, instead of private testing the mod was released for us to test so that we can play it even before it reaches beta, if you don't like an idea great, that's called an opinion and that's what rocket's looking for, just make the criticism more constructive instead of butthurt whining and everyone will respect your opinion whether it agrees with their ideas or not, don't complain about the alpha builds being wrong or incomplete or complaining about an idea, that is the point, alpha is meant to be where the majority of mistakes are made and if we as a community point them out that's even better... if you have a problem with glitches and gameplay issues, wait until Dayz reaches beta, because you'll be complaining throughout alpha.

Would it be possible in some way to be able to differentiate between murder and self defense? say if shots were detected hitting or nearly hitting me as I shot the person shooting me, then the kill wouldn't be classed as murder but as a bandit kill instead? I don't know if bandit skins are active at the minute or if they're going to be reimplemented, but when looting cherno almost requires you to kill someone trying to kill you, it'd be great if there was a way to avoid having a murder against your name when you only fired back after rapidly shouting friendly into your mic.

Today me and a friend were running out of cherno after picking up a decent stash of supplies and weapons when we lay down to have a drink, as soon as we were about to stand up we heard shots right next to us but couldn't see who was shooting, after working out we were being shot at, I stood up to see someone 2 metres away lying down with a double barrelled shotgun and promptly fired 5 bullets into him, it was only when we were looting him that we realised he had a shotgun, and i'm amazed he missed us, so to the player with the worst aim in this game, thank you so much for not making me part with my first AK.

You do realise you only have to buy operation arrowhead? you can use Arma 2 free instead of regular arma 2 and it works fine, exactly the same installation.

I'm a fairly new player and what i've been noticing is that dayz would be a hell of a lot easier with a group of people; i've only had the game for a week or so and finding guns and ammo is a pain in the arse, which it should be for such a realistic game I guess but it's getting boring, I know it's probably my fault because i'm bad the game but if anyone else is finding it difficult and wants a friend to chat with or if someone wouldn't mind showing me the ropes that'd be great. I'm 16 and uk based and I play mainly in mornings but can play through the day on most days, if anyone's interested pm me and i'll send you my skype.
