What? I think you read my post in the wrong way, dont try to give blatant sherlock holmes advice... I'm not talking about myself, I'm explaining why other might feel they need crosshairsOf course I can climb ladders and so on without crosshairs, but it's still way to hard to find the right "pixle" without them (Using first person). That needs to get fixed regardless of crosshairs being removed or not. Conclusion: Some usability issues needs to get fixed; FOV slider, needing pixle accuracy to select stuff, head bob not at 0 from the start (tweakable in options), and so on. Then they can remove crosshairs and third person for the standalone. I'm pretty confident most of these issues are being fixed.

The reason so many players with crosshairs on is because it is impossible to climb ladders, open, doors and get into tents etc. with them off. This needs to get fixed, and the crosshairs needs to get removed!

Why care about a broken windshield glass when you use 3rd person?

Third person on helicopters is extremely powerful at spotting etc. So they should remove it completely! Third person doesn't change the FOV, it only places the camera behind you. So saying it gives you a 180 degrees vision is wrong.

If you only play DayZ because you like to run around alone looting, you are in the beginner stage of DayZ players. How long have you played this mod, one month? Survival is not a challenge at all, so what else is there to do than hoarding the best gear and vehicles, while killing people in the process?

Looking around with alt is what you do when running, you don't need third person to do that... And third person gives you an unnatural and overpowered tactical advantage!

Of course I would play, after a week I would most likely have forgotten that 3rd person even existed in the mod. If removing third person will make you abandon the game, you don't really like DayZ for the right reasons...

Fraps it. If it's true you should send it to rocket

Remove it, I'm tired of running around in third person while oneshotting people with my AS50 / M107. This is often more effective than running around with a M240 in CQC, I'ts way to easy... Edit: Remove third person as well, arcady features like this has no place in the SA. And the game breaking elements and exploits third person brings is beyond comprehension!

I think Sims is the game you are looking for, not DayZ... http://www.mobygames.com/images/shots/l/372158-the-sims-3-windows-screenshot-character-creations.jpg

That is great news, lets hope something like that never gets into DayZ.

I don't want the locations of anything magically appearing on my map, whatever they mean by the sentence...

* [NEW] - Wreck locations are now marked on the map (1). What is this? If this means that crash sites (or anything really...)is getting marked on the map when they spawn, the feature needs to be removed from the rolling update immediately. One of the most rewarding things in DayZ is finding a crash site after driving around on the map, are you going to take this away now? That would be a insanely silly and unrealistic feature that does not belong in this game, what is the point of playing DayZ if you guys are going to dumb it down like that... This single change might put me of playing! :emptycan:

What are crash sites going to show up on the map? Who the hell added that to the next community update, he needs to get kicked from the team ASAP!!!!! This is simply madness, one of the fun things about DayZ is driving around scouting for crash sites!

What an useless suggestion, it will be a custom clothing system in the standalone making this pointless...

Love how atleast 50% of the arguments against FP only is headbob and FOV, when these settings can be changed in the game. Faith in humanity lost... I would never have thought that so many casual gamers would have picked up a game like DayZ, not sure if this is a good or a bad thing. What are your thoughts on nametags and waypoints, should these game changing features also be an option in the standalone?

Where did you read this? (Yeah I know hes just talking out of his ass...)

My point was that Dayz isn't aiming to be a "cool modern military shooter (FPS or TPS)", it's foremost designed to be an authentic and immersible survival experience. So if you are looking for a arcady shooter, DayZ might be the wrong game for you. The last thing this thread needs is people posting straw man arguments.

If you started to play DayZ because you wanted a "cool third person shooter", you missed the point of the game and shouldn't really have much say on this forum IMO. :huh: No offence of course, we are all different people that look for different thing in our games.

A friend of mine is hosting a pretty popular private hive, which has around 20 to 40 players on each day. We personally want to remove 3rd person for obvious reasons, but are afraid it will make us loose players.So no, third person is not a choice; it's forced on for everybody who wants to play with other players, even server hosts has to keep it on if they want successful servers! We might do a week trying 3rd person off and see how it goes, but it's still a risk that many of our regulars will find a new server instead. Rocket needs to stop this madness and remove third person, only then can we have balanced firefights that isn't a "peek fest", not to mention how insanely OP helicopters are at spotting things with third person and so on... PS: It's a well known fact that the majority of players will move towards the easiest option presented, I have seen well populated servers where you spawn with a GPS, nightvision and basic survival gear, while the most populated server at the moment is a 24 hour daytime server. Someone here want these features as an optional server setting as well?

There is nothing in DayZ that makes you need 3rd person, it only takes away for the experience. Remove third person and the game will be more balanced, immersible and fun for everyone when we have gotten used to it.

Yeah this guys is right, playing with 5 other people on a 225 square km map is fun!

It's simple, remove third person! The game will be so much better without it, but I'm forced to play on third person servers because those are the only full ones.

Many cool ideas here, especially the one about surrendering / disarming.
