3rd person is nice to play with, i like it too, first person is strange view, but i dont like the exploiting of "looking above walls" because it makes it impossible to spot poeple before they spot you, even if you look in their direction, its fundamentaly flawed and removes most of the tactical aspects of the game. edit@pyro: its not about the 3rd person, read what i wrote in my earlier post. its about the "looking above walls and around corners" which can be fixed while still keeping 3rd person

are the devs aware of the massive abuse of the 3rd person view, to look around corners and walls, allowing to stay invisible while watching other survivors? and most importantly are they going to do something against that ? i played other games in 3rd person, which solved this problem nicely by making non static objects like players, vehicles, loot etc not visible in 3rd person, if you cant see them in first person.

is it still possible ? i thought it was fixed some time ago...

i just wanted to add this to my earlier thread, but i think i touched a "forbidden" topic, the devs and / or forum team doesnt want any discussion about it since they probably arent willing to implement anything effective in the stand alone, and therefore they locked that thread. anyway, as surely 90% of the players know, duping is extremly easy and doesnt even require third party programs, you can just use a game-mechanic and dupe items within seconds. this exploit ruins the game for many players because everyone runs around with top end gear, and if you die, it doesnt matter, just run to your tent/vehicle and dupe again... perma-death ? consequences ? i dont see any.. are the devs aware of the easy duping , and the massive duping thats going on ? this duping destroys the game and is as bad for the game as hacking/scripting. are the devs aware of that and develop mechanics that prevent duping ? i hope so, otherwise this mod/stand-alone will fail miserably

maybe i missed it, did the devs mention anything regarding cheaters in the stand-alone ? the current game in the alpha is unplayable... every, and i mean EVERY server i play on, i meet one or several cheater who kills me or my group. this happens sometimes after some minutes, or after some hours, but in every case we get killed by cheaters. they instakill us, teleport to us and use godmode so we cant kill them, or use other shitty hacks. so, will the blatant hacking/scripting be stopped ? i heard that it wont be possible to script in weapons and vehicles, but what about the regular cheats like teleport and godmode ? are the devs even aware of the horrible state of this game ? are they going to implement effective ant-hack tools ? also i meet cheaters on private hives.. doesnt make a difference... battleeye is a useless piece of software... are they going to abandon it for a better tool ? questions over questions ( and some crying i know ) :D

u dont get a global ban for picking up spawned weapons ;) theres something fishyyy here :o

afaik arma2:free has low resolution textures or/and other reduced graphic options. in that case im glad i bought arma2:co

someone used cheats / scripts to spawn it.

same for me and my mates.. whaat

not worth spending money for arma2 just to play dayz... dayz is in a horrible horrible state... bugs over bugs ( ok its an alpha.. so nevermind ) but currently hackers are ruining your game on a daily basis on EVERY server. theres NO cheat protection. also the arma2 engine is terrible.. i got an insane fast computer, and even on the LOWEST settings, the fps drop to 5-10 sometimes especially in citys... relogging/restarting helps, but fps drop soon again after some minutes. so all in all... better wait for the stand alone

yea i cant wait tor the stand alone...

the hacking problem is out of control.. in the last weeks i met at least 1 hacker per day... ruining the day :< pathetic

really? oh boy... this makes hiding helicopters so easy :/

this mod has already failed miserably... hackers on EVERY server i play... and i mean EVERY server.. died so often and lost all my stuff to hackers on EVERY server i played.... theres no discussion about it... the game is great... but the pathetic game engine and its vulnerabilities to hackers destroyed the mod. maybe the stand alone based on arma3 will be better... maybe..

why would that break the game if we are forced to play smart ? can u pls explain this to me ? want only mindless pvp ? go play cod... if not, no offense then. u might have some good reasons to say this, pls share this with us.

zombies are way too easy... in their current state they are just easy obstacles in my way when im looting.... u can run away from them for an infinite time cause they cant attack while moving this way u can aggro an infinite amount of zombies and just get rid of them bei either running through houses/barns other buildings, or just get them lost around bushes/houses/walls or other objects that block sight. its just boring sometimes. make zombies able to attack while running so u cant outrun them, additionally make them detect u from a very long distance and even see on close distance when ur prone. on top of that they randomly switch targets from time to time, attacking near survivors even if they arent shooting at them. i know i know ur just saying: "U CRAZY ?" think again! every kind of loot would be more valuable with more dangerous zeds, u would actually have to create a plan how to get that precious loot, be it solo, or with ur friends. u will now HAVE TO USE UR GUNS TO KILL THAT ZEDS, cause u cant outrun them. that means more planning and caution needed. use tincans for distraction, or smoke grenades.. think of creative ways ! of course this would make banditry more efficient and easy since u can just wait for a player/group to loot something, and kill them while they are looting or even after they are looting. a simple solution would be that zeds get in a state of alertnes when they are "woken up" ( meaning someone drew aggro from them for some reason ). in that state they can hear much farther, and this will create a synergy with the "zeds randomly switch targets" mechanic i mentioned earlier - leading to zeds running out to the bandits trying to kill the looting survivors. ye ye i know this suggestions seem to be a bit hard, but if u guys are honest, u know zombies are too easy, and its a fucking zombie apocalypse and we are survivors ! shouldnt we be afraid of zombies, and therefor proud if we overcome them by using a smart strategy or good planning or just very nice skills with ur guns, or even all of this ?

zombies glitching through walls into my face all the time... so true

i need help in the northwest.. can anyone help me out ?

they are lost

u can set atoc in the video settings after the patch that came out a week ago... disabling ( =0 ) doesnt fix the problem for me or my mates, cause we set atoc to disabled after the patch came out already but still get artifacts

hi

u kidding me ? the last guns me and my mates dropped on the ground VANISHED ON DROP :D we never try that again

funny thing ur saying "confusing post" its nice that you try to help poeple, but your post is the most confusing i read since a while.. awful grammar and context, what do you want to tell us about vsync ? do you want to imply to turn on vsync ? NEVER turn on vsync, it eats a LOT of your gpu power and reduces fps drastically. ur right that the brain cant process more than like 24fps, BUT that has nothing do to with the frames rendered in COMPUTER games. theres CLEARLY a difference between 40fps and like 100fps. its a CLEAR difference. ( test it yourself, play a random game with 40fps and then 100fps ;) ) its smoother and reacts faster, i played several first person shooter on professional level, trust me. u can aim and move WAY better with more than at least 85fps. i usually try to get at least 100 fps, cause minimum input rate for the mouse is usually 125hz, so anything below around 100fps decreases ur ability to aim fast and smooth. no offense dude ur just wrong, test it for urself, and then stop telling wrong facts.

good idea, would also not interfere with character duplication
