libertine

I guessed that for testing purposes.

:huh: Its not your or my business IMO. Some people don't know what they like and its a good idea to give them a taste of everything first before they jump in and commit themselves to something specific. Others know exactly what they want most from the beginning. People could start building assets if they wanted. A lot of people like to create mods, not just play.

That is the dumbest, most closed minded, selfish shit i heard someone say in a long time. Thats like saying you paid money for your car, SO DON'T TURN IT INTO A HOTROD! You bought the house! Don't do any renovations or addons! You clearly have not been PC gaming for long otherwise you learned by now that mods can make stock games twice as good or more than they were "meant" to be...... You bought Arma 2 right? W....T....F were you doing playing DayZ?!!!? :lol: If your worried about server population for stock DayZ, i wouldn't be. When i came back to DayZ mod recently, there were more people playing it than Origins or Epoch i think.

The mod died off originally for me because of hackers, period! I was however getting a little bored along with that though. You know what brought me back to DayZ? MODS!!!!!!!! The Origins mods was extremely well made, with tons of different bandit skins so i could get in on the PvP to, playing a survivor. They also have different hero and survivor skins and the map it was on was also extremely well made, adding "sector B", an island that was supposed to shelter survivors and was great goal to try and achieve just getting there in a boat or heli, which you would have to fix. Epoch was okay, I thought it was well made too, but the zombie could hear way too well making sneaking around unrealistic ( I advocate excellent sight for zombies though).

Yeah, as a sort of vigilante if i see a player, i'll sometimes try and follow him and see if i can catch him killing or robbing someone. Ill have my gun out if i get too close because i'm KOS'd a lot if i don't run with my weapon at the ready. Putting my hands up gets me a bullet to the brain. Wouldn't your group like to have murderers get a red arm band to signify they've killed more than say 10 people? While "heroes" get a blue arm band for killing X amount of murderers? In the beginning you could get a red band accidentally, but over time, your play style would give you a side. You could get around it probably, but that would just continue the much loved distrust between players DayZ in known for. Then you could get in there and hunt yourselves.

I have this too when SLI is enabled. I think it is a known problem for the Arma2 devs, but not the DayZ team. I believe its called Z-fighting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-fighting

Stopped rubberbanding until to "bullet run" out of some barracks. I only ran a short ways that way, then started running with the normal run for awhile and got sent back a little while after.

I wish they would spawn people along the west and south coast, but remove all the balota loot except the aircraft control tower and hangers, then put a barracks and a tent or two in Cherno with some wrecked Humvees, etc because i think Cherno is one of the coolest game cities ever and deserves attention. I think that would help even out the travel across the map a little bit.

Its not ridiculous at all to think we'll be able simulate our vision perfectly. Or close enough. I've used 3D Vision for over 2000 hours now and i can see that a viewport to a holodeck is certainly possible. Its how it is now, only limited by current graphics technology and resolution. People who think 3D looks like the 3D in movies just haven't tried full 3D that matches your interpupilary distance. 3D in movies is a huge compromise meant to look decent to those in front vs. those in back vs. adults with high interpupilary distances (distance between the eyes, AKA IPD) vs. children with much lower IPD and whos eyes you don't want to cause to diverge outward. Its a weird thing, but in 3D things in the background get a lack of attention from the brain in a similar way to real life. The fact that everything is in focus isn't a big deal to me, in fact, i never noticed it until someone pointed it out. Then again, i do game a lot.

I couldn't agree more. In common shooters that are immersive, like Metro, when walking/sneaking around i will take it upon myself to control the movement so it is realistic and compliments immersion. Thats what we do 99% of the time in DayZ, rather than actual combat. Another factor is that our field of view in real life is about 180 degrees! When looking for things in houses, it would be so much easier in real life. The game doesn't represent that ease at all. Somebody should create a series of live action satire videos called DayZ Metagame. Episode one: A guy going through a building is about to exit through a door. Zombie yells behind him. He looks back at it. "Ah, cute little zombie. Look at you." Turns to leave. Tries to open door. Door open indicator doesn't come up. Moves around. "Dayz doors..." *shakes head*. Backs away. Indicator comes up then disappears. Looks around. Nope. Moves forward. Looks around. Comes up disappears. Starts getting a little panicky. Tries other weird movements to open the door until getting eaten ...you get the idea.

How are they going to fix monitor gamma or gamma from graphics card menu.

No, i've just got way more life experience than you, thats the issue. You know when you were really young, sitting at the dinner table and didn't know what the hell your parents were talking about sometimes? It's like that. I aint typin out motherfucking War and Peace for you just to help you understand and clarify terms. If you want to start dishing out person insults, lets definitely do that, but in PM.

Btw, this fix is just a few lines of code if that. if(model is player model) then(base render distance = x) FOV setting, even screen size (effecting dpi) could be included easily in the evaluation, evening out all (most?) of the avenues for variation.

"Mommy, why do those people like like to play that way, i don't understand it, make them go away."

Your arguing the letter of the law, im arguing spirit of the law, if you know what that means. I hate to break it to you, but you'll find that the entire gamut of our laws and the basis's for the structure of our society are still and will always be up for debate and are always in question. I think you'll find that it is only the digital nature of software that prevents it from being completely owned by the end user and it is the desire for the cash residing in your wallet, to be put in the wallets of the investors, that are largely responsible for these policies(definitely NOT referring to Rocket there btw). What i mean by "ego" is... Take copying for example. In truth, there is nothing wrong with it, in any form, in and of itself. The basis for being against it lies in ego driven desires. Thats what i mean and if you're young, to make that more clear I would have to type out War and Peace. No thanks. I'm sure Rocket supports modding. Hes have to be one hell of a hypocrite if he didn't. For the alpha test, it could be different im sure. Im not arguing that, im arguing the basic principles behind human nature and undeniable validity of raw opinion and im arguing that none of the hate against this type of gameplay should exist. Your obviously not a long time member of audio/video forums. You could be better off for it...

This is a real problem. I can clearly see 3ft square windows on buildings while players next to it go into stick figure mode. It is already hard enough to find players with interiors and zombies not spawning with player presence.

Since they allowed the 3rd=off option, i don't hardly see any server available. I think it is unrealistic to expect people to switch over due to several factors i wont go into. I DO however wish they would implement the forth wall and also provide more control over your body like in Arma 3. Since i play a vigilante who only shoots after being shot at or must witness a murder that wasn't just self defence, i need to find as many players as i can to get some PvP in, which i love but cant do in this game because i always play games realistically and i know im not going to kill people for their beans in RL. So ill be in Cherno up on a high platform looking to witness a murder but must find people first. Its very hard to do when people aren't poking their heads out to realistically view the area, their often just sitting because cover, using 3rd, zooming in....

I would NEVER, EVER turn my flashlight on at night on a PvP server. NOT EVER. NOT FUCKING EVER! So in that case, with what we have had previously, my only options are to play with night vision or do the gamma trick. Said another way, my only options are to play with DAYLIGHT cast in shades of green (night vision) or shades of gray (gamma) for hours on end?... No thank you. Actually another option is to quit playing, which is exactly what i did when the private [daylight] Origins server i had been playing on went down while waiting for an update. I really think only a very new person to the game would actually turn on their flashlights at night on a PvP server. Maybe a non-KOS player who roams the woods and smaller towns... The solution: Limited visibility moonlit nights where you can still see the landscape and things in it, the colors remain, but you must look a little harder. That would work and potentially look beautiful too. Thats also more realistic because for one, you sleep at night, and two, you would probably often be doing things just before it got totally dark in real life.

Why is an AR-15 more accurate than an M4, aren't they the same more or less? Just occurred to me that i wouldn't mind an increase in accuracy in exchange for not returning the recoil back down at all.

oops

Moral right? You've got to be joking. Most of humanities ideas about [not] "copying" and modifying are completely EGO based. Moral my ass. They exchanged money btw for a property they now own and they can have respect for Rockets desires while standing up for their own. Look at you, praising the status quo because it fits your needs, but you'd be complaining too if it didn't. BTW, i don't want to see a single complaint from you about anything that deviates from Rockets vision, you'd be violating and possibly endangering Rockets vision, nay his soul! How about no mods for Skyrim/Stalker/Halflife/[Arma 2] because the developers want to enforce their vision of the game... I've been saying it for a long time, if i have to keep following the "directors vision" for movies and games, i may not be a movie goer or gamer for much longer... .and Skyrim wasn't a jumping of cliff game and Arma2 wasn't a zombie game and on and on and on and on and on. It did start out 100% PvE did it not? For the same reason people play different games than others. For alpha testing, if its needed (server populatons get a little low at night here) then so be it.

This really shows why i want an subtle armband put on bandits. I don't want to kill any of guys on the ZERO list. I get bored though so i have started killing people for fun recently, joining in on the PVP mainly in the heavy PVP areas. But sometimes i have killed people and i feel like they may very well have been one of those ZERO guys just minding there own damn business. Like this one guy with a Mosen, looking over Elektro, way way up on the hill in the N.W. (not sniper hill) too far away to snipe anything. I thought he might be a PvE guy just checking out the action. He was being careful enough too, i just happened to spot him through the grass as he was crouch walking up to a fence. Or maybe he killed 30 people..

Just curious how many people would like to see the creepy music come back. The quality of the ambient music was one of the things that surprised me about the mod, along with the zombie animations, etc. The new sound guy was interviewed and said he was very against any music playing in the background. For most games i totally agree and i usually turn it off unless its very good or pleasant, like i thought Skyrim's was and some others. Sometimes i think its nice when your roaming the DayZ landscapes empty of players to be reminded that there is supposed to be something creepy and horrible happening here. In my case, i have turned the music down, but not off. I remember my first week playing the game, not knowing anything about it, entering the industrial side of Elecktro, knowing there were people killing other survivors there for some reason and climbing up on top of a high metal walkway and started staring over at central Elektro, wondering if i should go in, this part played right then... https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=r68uZehZqN8#t=180

In fairness, i did mean do YOU want to see music in, for yourself.
