Yer the randomness of the bullets is not too great an Idea. Windage, weapon sway, weapon resting, attachments, breathing, stamina, hunger, thirst, temperature should be used to determine how accurate your shot is not randomness.

I was hoping you could use acog , rco and long range as a telescope type thing. Without the gun Hope they add that

Here is a comparison of ArmA and DayZ series maps. Just so you have an idea of the scale of ArmA maps compared to other games.

The faster you`re drive the better ArmA series games will load such things as LOD textures for buildings trees etc. At least that has been my observation with my SSD for all the ArmA series games. Of course a ram disc is usually faster than an SSD. Not to sure on Hybrids to be honest.

So your saying if i can get my hands on a pen and then stab someone with the pen ? Its the fault of the people who make pens ? Or where you saying its the fault of the people that where stabbed ?

A neat progression system that would reward long life survivors would be if the standalone introduced new maps / Islands. If you have been alive for a specific amount of time and online playing for a specific amount of time ! You would gain access to the new islands. Each new island could have a level assigned to it. If you die your level becomes the lowest level allowed on that server / island. If you die too soon after that you drop down a lvl and can no longer join that server / island. Not getting shot would be a reward so not getting into a fight would be beneficial, if you wanted the better loot on the higher islands that is. Maybe :)

So you applaude some kids who used a program that they didnt create, Who then went on to disrupt the entertainment of people who may well be handicaped or ill whos only entertainment is to attempt to play games online with friends. Over the Xmas Holidays. Well done sir you are a fucking disgrace to the human race.

They should be arrested and sent to prison and if they are too young for prison borstal then prison for 25 years they have affected the lives of millions maliciously. Send a message that downloading a program and using it to "hack" has consequences. same should apply to script kiddy hackers in games.

You base this information on what ?

You may need to explain the word adjective for this guy.

Death messages could be turned on on the 3rd view Ezmode servers and hive and be turned off for the 1st view Hardcore servers and hive. Disconnect Messages could be used same as Direct chat so that if that player your hunting in a building disconnects you know about it if your close enuf. maybe even tie the disconnects into the Server mode aswel

Treasure hunt find the Giants nut sack

Craft-able weapons please. Bow (wood, rope, needs knife) arrows (sharpend sticks, needs knife) Spear (wood, knife, rope-or-rags) Sling shot (blood bag(rubber tube), sticks) stone Axe (wood, stone, rope) Molotov cocktail (bottle, fuel, rags) and more !!! Flame thrower (fire extinguisher, fuel, duct tape, matches) Jet pack (2x fire extinguishers, backpack empty, duct tape, rope, fuel, matches, ballistic helmet, goggles)

Until the map is finished it is not possible to balance the spawns. So for me its all moot until then.

Edit this is in the wrong post is seems

@OP Yes.

This bugs me. Veteran server setting mode in arma2 and therefore DayZ has 3rd enabled by default, only Mercenary and Elite mode has 3rd disabled by default. So saying veteran mode for 1st person servers is incorrect.

I run my OS on an SSD and my games on an other SSD and record onto a HDD Seems to work well for me although if i could afford a large SSD I would record onto that but man recording so eats up space and large SSDs are very expensive. PS. Yes the new update separates servers to either 1st or 3rd servers atm with seperate hives coming soon ! btw saying "veteran" servers is wrong as veteran servers in arma2 had 3rd enabled by default only Mercenary - Elite server setting has 3rd disabled by default. just an fyi :)

So using 3rd to exploit in that vid ! If you are using fraps try to use 2 drives 1 for the game 1 for fraps to record to. If you do it all on one drive it will be laggy. I found this was a good solution for all recording programs I use.

Quote from rocket on the Confirmed Server Management Options :- "In addition, we also want to provide passworded servers that will operate on their own shard of the database. This shard could be grouped, so that a group of passworded servers could operate on their own database." So I was wondering how these grouped Servers would work. Are we looking at the possibility to have clusters or MMP running a set of coordinated computations in parallel. Allowing us to have 1 instance of the hive and mission being ran across several servers at once with all players connected to the group showing up on each of the grouped servers at once ? Example 5 servers grouped with 40 players on each would equal 1 cluster of 5 with 5x40 players all on the cluster at once. I doubt it but one can dream. If not how would the grouped servers function ? Could you not just server hop in the group to gain access to a base area that you cannot do without server hopping ? Unless the servers in a group run in parallel I cant see how it would work. Heres hoping a Dev can answer my layman's questions and shed some light onto this ! BL1P

Also to think on is :- Each Town and Military zone has a perimeter radius that you cannot spawn into. If you leave a server inside the radius and rejoin any server but the same one you left you will spawn a set distance of say 500-800m outside the perimeter of the zone as long as that doesn't place you inside another zone at which point it would select another position until it found one that was not a zone. A message saying "you are trying to disconnect inside a protected zone are you sure ?". could be shown to the player with a yes or no button. Rejoining the same server would allow you to spawn inside the zone. This should work well when combat logging is implemented and should not be a problem for server crashes as you would rejoin the same server after a crash.

Very informative thank you

6 rather than 8 slots though :(

I really like the current compass system. I hate HUDs in games where the character isn't wearing some sort of flight helmet, costing millions. Is it harder to call out quick sightings of other players with cardinal directions to fellow team members, hell yes. Does this spoil the game for me, No infact this for me improves the immersion factor and rewards people who have good situational awareness.

Yup head bob off Motion blur off I make one of my mouse keys the alt key so i can easily press it to turn my head. I must say as well the turn head feature in the ArmA series is one of the best features in a game I have ever seen, yet I cant think of another game that uses it. I have lost count of the times in other games i press the alt to look around and my whole body turns and I swear at the game I am playing :)
