  1. Not long ago I ambushed a guy near a building. He was standing in the I was on a slight hill 50 meters away. I shot at him. He got hit and out of the good netcode he bugged around a bit and made it out through the second door. Now there I stood. I was on the field and he was behind the building. Which in the end means he will move next to the corners and use 3rs person to spot me while I cannot do anything about it. This is just seriously retarded.
  2. Then how do you explain people going in barns and such, picking the items, changing servers, spawning in the same spot, picking again new items? How do you explain that? You can't possibly think just because 3rd person is allowed on a server, it gives them people such a big advtange that they get super nuclear weapons. So far I only played third person, I still died, I had the same slow progress as usual. I tried attacking bandits, third person enabled, I got whooped. I didn't get super gear to swap servers and pwn. You still gotta be exposed when you fire your gun so please, stop trying. Y'all just haters. Maybe you are just bad? Oh and if they fix that there comes the PEOPLE ALT+F4 excuse? And after that there comes the BUT PEOPLE CAN CHEAT EASILYL excuse? Still two wrongs do not make a right.

    The Importance of CHKilroy

    Every time I see a CHKilroy video my ears are bleeding and I am getting a headache by his playstyle.
  4. OH the irony... "amateur" well are you aware you can actually disable head bob? Also are you aware numpads also work for looking around? Not everybody affords to spend an hour to walk thru woods, so sprinting is a must. So you admit that there are no reasons for keeping 3rd except for you having easy mode because you don't want to play a hard survival mod and you are just sad that there is no fast traveling system implemented at this point.
  5. Did you even run or even sprint and turned your head around to see whats behind you? One could say thats pretty much frustrating. And hey I got news for you: This is a ZOMBIE survival mod! The zombies are already 1. weak hitting 2. stupid as f*ck 3. easy to avoid. you can be 3 meters next to them and they dont notice you 4. completely unable to hit you while you move 5. unable to move fast in buildings or up hills 6. disable themselves when running downhill 7. completely unable to enter docks So you say the ONLY advantage the zombies have by having speed and being hard to hit while charging in is the reason you need easy mode enabled? 1. This mod aims to be a highly immersive survival game with dire consequences when dying. 3rd person is unbearable under these circumstances a) makes you die less because you can exploit bushes, corners etc pp b) it completely destroys immersion 2. This mod is PERSISTENT. So you noobs can easily get high class weaponry with your cheatmode enabled then switch over on some hardcore server while laying at your favourite sniper position and just snipe some people who have earned their stuff. 1. You know that the looking around feature in 1st person and 3rd person is EXACTLY THE SAME!? 2. Lol. Now talk about flawed arguments. Because you cannot do something you can in reallife IN A FREAKING GAME you want to use unrealistic over the shoulder cameras to be able to SIMULATE real life? Any time you peak over a wall I can shoot you in your freaking face. Its just like peaking around corners. It works in ArmA. Yet I have shot a lot of people using it in their head. I have yet to shoot someone who is peaking around corners or above walls in 3rd. We even have a further point here: You completely REPLACE a realistic implemented feature which has drawbacks with your cheater vision. Nobody freaking has to show his head for peaking around something anymore. Which leads us to another point: Realism? You cannot just run 10kms with weapons and gear. Just sum up what kind of weight you have on you in Dayz. 2 weapons? About 10kg 1 Pistol with ammo? 2kg Ammo for the rifles? 3kg food and drink? 5kg and so on. We easily end up having you carry around more than 25kg and not collapsing once. Or you can get shot 3 times, then someone simply puts a bandage on you and a blood transfusion. DING DING DING COMPLETELY HEALED. Where is your strife for realism here? No Your logic is flawed. No point to go any further. You can perfectly fine play dayzmod without 3rd and without trackir.
  6. Ok first of all when I said FPS I meant, FRAMES PER SECOND. Second of all, are you SERIOUS? Are you seriously telling me to buy a TRACK IR, just because some people can't take 3rd person view? When there's servers who can disable it and be "Hardcore"? People who request 3rd person view to be disabled from the dev's as from the mod, are nothing but selfish idiots. 1. You also bought a PC to play games on. You bought ArmA2 to play ArmA 2. Or probably you even bought ArmA 2 to play DayZ. So why is it so weird to ask people to buy TrackIR if they complain about too little visual awarness? 2. The ones who want 3rd to stay on are mostly noobs, cheaters looking around corners and people who need to see the zombies even further. 1. So running in first person is FRUSTRATING and running in third person is not? Talking about flawed arguments. 2. Yes in BF3 you make a lot more PEW PEW PEW DUCKJUMP PEW PEW AT ON THE RUN PEW PEW. I tend to look around just as much in BF3 as in ArmA2. But probably thats just me. Now you really confuse me. What does the ACE Radio have to do with it? Then ask to have the high grass removed. The high grass has some serious issues on its own. Yet people defend it. Having something wrong ingame and fixing it with something equally wrong is not the way to go. Two wrongs do not make a right.
  7. Your brain stabilizes your feeling. So you do not really notice that your head is going up and down. But if you are running you will be able to spot less because of the movement of your head. And I still do not get why people want 3rd so bad if they are moving around with head bob off. The only thing I know off in which the 1st person becomes unbearable is riding a bike. I heard every time you ride a bike in 1st person a kitten dies.
  8. Because it is true. ArmA 2 might be a bit clunky when it comes to aborting animations and thus it feels weird a lot of times. But BF3 or whatever you play otherwise just feels like Quake 3 compared to real the real world :)
  9. 1. Third person lets you see things you cannot see. 2. The crosshair is as inaccurate in first person as it is in third person 3. Nothing prevents you from just aiming at a person with your ironsights if you are in tpv. It is no different if you are in tpv or fpv if you wanna aim down your sights actually. 4. FPV makes you sick? Disable post processing and head bob. FPV & Bicycles WILL MAKE YOU SICK! :P

    A perfect example of anti fun banditry

    Agreed' date=' Non-Gucci Gun ammo is far too abundant and it would be nice to see alterations of loot spawn chances for things like that as well as food/drink. But this is early alpha, we're testing the systems. [/quote'] There is by far too little ammo around in the game: 1. You usually carry around only a 4 mags for your weapons and have no real base. Most soldiers I know which were in Iraq had significantly more ammo on them. 2. You cannot use use ammo of the same calibre on other weapons even if you should be able to do so. 3. There simply is too little ammo. You raid an military installation and there are not thousands of rounds lying around but more like 100 rounds. If you are lucky. 4. Basic Ammunition is not so hard to manufacture by yourself. Yet you cannot do so with your clan/group/whatever. Running around with barely 100 rounds of ammo and calling it ABUNDANT is a joke.

    A perfect example of anti fun banditry

    You thought wrong. It's about survival. I guess one out 2 isn't that bad. Its 2 out of 2. If you run around badly armed all alone you are an easy prey. If you run around alone and well armed you are a valuable prey. 3 People have 3 times the chance to see a threat. 3 times the firepowre. Can heal each other with bags. Can have one or two suppress the enemy and one flanks. Looking more powerful and thus making guys think about engaging (that is close combat guys mostly though)
  12. Stop being a wannabe smart crybaby already. Try to be smart and edit your .cfg fov = 2 * arctan(fovleft or fovtop/initfov)*180/pi initfov is 1 afaik. 1.6 or so if you press minus edit fovLeft=x; fovTop=y; x/y must be your resolution x/y or the picture will look distorted. I you can't make it that far double press minus which should set your fov to about 120° with 1:1 settings. That 3rd person thing is a nice excuse for wanting noob vision.

    DayZ Update 1.5.6

    I really don't get this decision. Is this just a temporary fix for the infinite ammo bug' date=' or do you really plan on keeping this as a feature? [/quote'] hopefully its just temporary As far as I see it this script can be avoided easily anyway.

    Big list of tips. Share yours.

    This. Since people on the forums kept telling where to find the best loot those two barracks are swarming with people. Every time I go there I have to kill at least 2 guys now... Newspawned winchester guys are running straight there now and hope for a big cache.

    [Legion] Sorting this all out

    Legion cannot configure their servers. It is noobmode with map = 1 It allows custom which serve only one purpose in this mod and that is annoying others. I do not play there.

    Hard days work

    Not too much. If he cleaned out all the spawn points as it seems as he has dozens of chemlights lying around about 50 switches should do the trick.
