Deviant (DayZ)

Both PCs are kinda bad to be honest. AMD is bad. Just don't go AMD. I won't go into detail, there are plenty of threads on the internet. It's not a PS4 VS Xbox1 type thing. The Intel one is an i7-4790S. S means low-power. Why the fuck would they put that on a desktop? People don't look at these types of things, but it's a big performance hit. 750 Only has 1GB GDDR5 memory. It's also only has 512 Cuda Cores. It's a huge hit versus a 760 or 770. (1152 and 1536, respectively) See how they don't show you what power supply, motherboard, memory manufacturer, hard drive manufacturer? They are going to be low-end names that are cheaper such as Hitachi, HGST, Toshiba, Foxconn, etc. I have a 3570k, EVGA 760, 12GB Memory. I can run ~medium high settings. With this setup, you might get Medium, or medium-low.

The main reason they're doing standalone is because they need to re-purpose the arma engine in order to make it run effectively with lots of zombies and loot. Arma 2 doesn't like having thousands of items and units spawned in at once.

Looking for players trying to increase their group size. I've been playing DayZ since it's inception on rocket's NZ server. After that I've been going from server to server, playing with a small group of friends. They don't play DayZ as much anymore, so I'm looking for a group to join. Please PM me with info relating to your group. I have a microphone and I'm active.

KoS is a tactic. Would you trust a random stranger with a weapon in a survival situation, where killing you is easy and your juicy gear will make things a lot easier for him to survive? You can't trust anybody. Play with friends if you want to play with people. You can't trust a stranger with your life. The faster you understand this, the faster you will start to enjoy DayZ.

I love you <3

Looks great! Are the weapon animations going to be like this in the final game? They look fairly awkward, for example @ ~4:20, when you are running backwards, you hold your weapon barrel forward, stlil able to shoot. Feels very different from Arma2, almost worse then how it already is. I understand this is all in development, but is this something that's staying?

<google translation> I hear man in super market, he hurt. Tries to take potato for family, they suffer of malnourish. Politburo come and knock him to ground. I try to shoot politburo with rifle, like real latvian hero. But politburo chase me instead. No potato for man, instead death. Is sad. Ah, is life.

I feel like shotguns are not as effective in DayZ against players because in ArmA2, every "soldier" is armored, to some extent. Not exactly sure if it's modeled per side (For example, Blufor is +50% armor, Independent is +25%, and Civilian is +0%) or if it's a base-model for damage. Pellets and slugs feel awful effective against zombies, because they are classed as "Civilians". You can go into the map screen, and see a "kill count" for your player, classing zombie kills as "casualties" IIRC. A slug will kill a zombie in one hit, but not a human?

Totally honest, a weekly update thing would be alright, regardless of how well things are going. Just as long as we as a community are kept in the loop :D

Most common military weapons should be in the game, such as M16's/AK74's/L85's as "military" weapon loot, and "Civilian" weapon loot should be handguns, assorted rifles/shotguns, etc. In almost all modern military, and in all of the biggest military, the assault rifle is the most common weapon. So loot you find in military bases should reflect that. Perhaps long range weapons would be 2nd rarest, followed by machine guns being the most rare.

IIRC There was a fix a few patches back that stopped zombies from knocking you out if you had full health.. So either you didn't have full health, or your story is slightly fabricated. Maximum timer w/ full health, 1 zombie eating you while you are unconscious, you will still be alive when you wake up, about 25%.

Literally this. Anything else is a pointless waste of time.

TBH, Pistols are pointless once you have a real gun. Ammo is so plentiful that you never really need to use a pistol. Revolver/1911 used to be good until they nerfed them. 2-3 .45 shots to kill is silly. If you try to use a sidearm in PvP you are dead before land a shot. But since you're a noob, Stick with G17 once you find it, because flashlight. Once you find a primary, use your sidearm inside cities. Makarov->M9/m1911/revolver->Glock->PDW. Get PDW once you have NVGs or primarily play during the day. M9, G17, PDW and Mp5 mags fit into the PDW, so ammo is the most plentiful. Also automatic fire is best. Don't use iron sights. M1911 is better than revolver if you use it right. Faster fire rate for 1911 is nice. Revolver is a little under 2 rounds per second, where you can empty is 1911 mag less than a second if you fire fast enough

OP will deliver, let's just wait. Also, endgame is becoming the hunter.. ;)

The best gun in the game is the gun that you are best with.
