Element47

why would you toy with config and launch options if you can set the resolution in the game? apart from that, there is approx. one dozen threads related to the currently persisting issue of resolution settings bugging out, and how to solve them.. have you tried the approaches outlined there?

the game is actively developed by a dedicated and passionate team. Some people even voiced concerns that we see too much content patches and thus ressources are detracted from architecture development and bug fixing. if you dont have exaggerated expectations, and remain fully aware that this is an early, rough build and not a complete game, you wont be disappointed.

great feat, Gews, congratulations and also gg on the Kotaku feature - yer famous, baby!

I cant give you enough beans for one of the best movie quotes in history. but there is also: There comes a time, thief, when the jewels cease to sparkle, when the gold loses its luster, when the throne room becomes a prison, and all that is left is a father's love for his child.

LMP is a streamer, playing predominantly DayZ in recent times. One of many, many, many DayZ streamers. has like, 1/10th of the followers that Sacriel has, so she's not like top of the ladder.

if you cant handle open pvp games, you have come to the wrong play, Lauch. You might want wait for modded private hive servers, but the core game will always feature unrestricted open pvp. and killing others for no good reason, yes even griefing, is part of this type of gameplay, and it is something many enjoy. i think the votekick feature is useless, because it does not add any security as we have no reliable means of identifying players, while opening door to abuse from clan servers who can votekick anyone not on their whitelist. it has no place in pre-release testing.

i cannot remember when i so wholeheartedly agreed with you, gibz, if ever :)

i have chars on both hardcore and stable exp, both should have at least rags or bandages. hardcore is in Krasnostav, regular is further south. PM me if i can be of service. edit: just saw you're in balota. if you're on regular, i could be there fast.

you make far too much sense for this forum any internet forum. have beans and hugs.

i used to be a supply runner, a smuggler of sorts, finding, aquiring and transporting rare items on contract. then i met the medics, so i became a combat medic in addition to my supply&logistics trade. that was in the mod, and it still works for me in SA. Patching people up and giving out can openers makes for a great experience. Would be boring though if we had none shooting at us, so if you're a killer, thanks for spicing up my game.

collecting parts for a week and then fight for control of the spawn point? yes please. those were epic times. also, fuck them Hueys, i want my Fat Lady back...

i am against grenade launchers, and disagree with some things there, but you make a good point. have beans. there is a large issue here, a contradiction if you want - not in your post, but in the game. balancing for PvP means creating a level field. But this would mean easy and fast access to the same (end-tier) equipment. Which is fundamentally against a scavenging/loot oriented gameplay, which draws its appeal from a long, challenging hunt for the elusive "epic lewtz". trying to accomplish both will ruin both. the equation above ignores the environment, because it is irrelevant at the moment. If my hopes come true, you will rather carry survival-oriented items with you than a second drum mag. you will rather shoot a bow silently than bring a horde of -deadly- infected to the yard thanks to gunshot sound. but thats something not close to reality at the moment. we will see what the future brings, and THEN we can argue about PvP balance and item rarity ;)

investing themselves for a common good is always the right thing. OP did good, and deserves beans and respect for standing up against an element which ruins the game experience for everyone.

cant verify atm but it needs to happen if its not a thing already.

There is a third admin power: setting the name of the server. So be aware, that server admins will write ANYTHING in there in an attempt to get players to join their server.

well, the Steam minimum system requirements actually do list Intel HD Graphics 4000 with 512 MB VRAM. So while it probably would run shitty as hell, you should still see proper resolution. this sounds far more like the bug that i heard frequently about since latest patch, which reduces resolution to a minimum. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/200633-blurry-screen-on-main-menu/ http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/200913-very-bad-graphics-glitch/ http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/200486-screen-very-pixelated-cant-read-the-words/

Always upvote Zardoz

its a side effect of how render distance is determined. basically you can see things a bit further away if you dont look directly at them. happens regularly in many games.

+ I admit it. I cant stand impressionism, with the exception maybe of Manet and Cezanne.

it is irrelevant if you or me like PewDiePie. I find him unbearable, as much as i find Justin Biebers music unbearable, or Skrillex', or the paintings of Renoir. Its a matter of taste. A taste different from yours is no reason for insults. As much as there are different painters, composers, tv show producers or authors who create content which appeals to only a fraction of the populace, with the advent of the new medium of user-generated video and live streaming we have creators who only appeal to a certain subset of the potential audience. this is expected. denouncing the whole medium and its audience because you fail to relate to it is, in the core meaning of the word, pathetic: it is sad and piteous.

If you ask me for my personal opinion: 1. stream sniping is lame. its griefing on a meta level. dont try to find excuses, your objective is to ruin another persons experience. you're an asshole. deal with it. 2. announcing on what server you play in public and then crying about being griefed is lame. you're not a special snowflake just because you stream. you're not entitled to special treatment, protection or hugs just because you stream. and no, it doesnt matter if you have two or two thousand viewers. deal with it. EDIT: (offtopic) The most prominent YouTuber, PewDiePie, earns four million USD per year from ads alone, because people enjoy watching him play video games. Google is trying to aquire twitch.tv, the main videogaming streaming portal, for reportedly one billion USD. This is the reality of video game streaming. Watching others play video games, competitively or "for shitz n giggles", is a growing entertainment business. Your antiquated views are yours to keep, and i dont expect this post to counter your blatant intolerance, but your insults are out of place. Just because you lack the ability to understand that others can enjoy different things as you do does neither make them pathetic nor their entertainment a waste of time.

its an unoptimized alpha build. for that, 30FPS is excellent, no matter what hardware.

there is one piece of advice i can give you, as it pops to my mind everytime i read such requests. dont recruit mods from outside. build a community around your server, and recruit your moderators out of achieved and respected community members. otherweise you end up with the wrong people as mods, and this can often kill a community completely. source: i've run online communities since it involved dialing through a V.22 modem into a BBS to be part of one.

once we begin gameplay balancing in the beta, i totally want that to happen. 50% of the time we should starve and not die from a gun wound. and no, server owners on public hives should not be able to change that. otherwise we get all-you-can-eat servers in addition to the fast-loot-restart-every-5-mins servers.

let everyone spawn in the water off the coast of balota. install gun emplacements facing the coast.
