PeNguiN (DayZ)

Are you nuts? Why would you want to pay for a half assed game that's unfinished. I'd rather wait til the game provides some things to do rather than a week of the same shit. Let them do their work and provide a game we will actually like rather than them rush the game and result in 1000 of idiots screaming the game sucks. The game you are asking for is WarZ and look where it got them.

The game lags because of the zombies and loot spawning and the load the server puts on the server and client cpu. Game is not optimized and will not give amazing fps on any rig. If you are getting 40 + after doing the optimizations posted around pastebin and the forum, then that's all you are gonna get. Finding a good server with a powerful rig is really what you want to look for.

DayZ already has a meta of kill or be killed. Friendly people are 1 in 100 and lucky to find. Everyone wants a game oriented around zombies with some pvp but it's just not gonna happen. PvP is what endgame is so until there is a new idea about end game like basebuilding mixed with some sort of busywork to keep players doing something, then people are just gonna kill.

It's funny how many people say they're friendly. As soon as they die 3 times from KOS, you know what they're gonna start doing.

I think everyone will agree that performance and equal playing field takes precedence over eye candy. Some very basic shadows and grass to give some sort of coverage for everyone would be great. But if this affects performance too much, than I'd rather have cheap graphics with 50 minimum fps.

All very good points. I like how this is looking in the long run and not alpha. I just want them to get their server structure to where they need it (network bubble, Ai system, etc.) so that they can start working on what really draws people in, features. I will try to say things you did not since I agree 100% with you, but I may repeat a little. Base building isn't really my forte, but it will be key to the game in the long run. Epoch isn't amazing but it provides some sort of end game and purpose to the game. Dayz stand alone will need to have some sort of purpose other than running around killing people. Performance will be key in the long run as well. If the game does not get heavy, and I mean HEAVY optimization to where people with decent pc's cannot get 45 fps on low, then no one is going to want to play. I have an ssd, 6870, and 965 BE which is not amazing but definitely up to par, (can run BF3 on high and get 60 fps), yet I get around 20-30 fps playing dayz after doing all optimizations. This is not playable no matter what anyone says. Choppy performance ruins a game. The loot system really needs a massive overhaul as well. Running into a city and finding nothing is really a I don't want to be playing this game moment. Who wants to play a game if there is no way for them to get gear because it was already looted or didn't spawn. There needs to be more reliable loot because every 20 minutes I spend finding trash loot is 20 minutes I could have spent doing something else. Some would say this is the DayZ experience, but no, no one has fun doing that. I could probably go on and on but I'm just not thinking too hard so I'll leave it at these, you really touched on the most important things. Basically, if the game is smooth and the animations are responsive, the game will do better. The slowness of Arma 2 was not meant for this style of play. Edit: Ah yes, can't forget hackers. If hackers become a problem, the game will die. As long as they can keep them to a minimum, and give some sort of server banning to admins, then the game shouldn't suffer.

Alright, I just skimmed thread and skipped a lot. But this degrading gear thing will have no impact on murder. Maybe kill on sight. But in reality, any bandit can rob the person and then kill them, it's that simple. Maybe they won't be shot instantly, but they are going to be robbed and then killed. So that logic in itself is invalid. This just makes killing people in the end shittier because now killing a bandit means you as a survivor will not get their gear. This is going to solve nothing. Still an interesting feature though.

Hi, I have a phenom 965 at stock clock, 6870 and 8 gb ram as well as samsung 830 SSD yet I get 30 fps in wilderness on the lowest possible graphics. I've also done all the optimization guides like maxframesahead to 1 and idk why I lag so bad, it's quite unplayable. I see so many other ppl with worse systems getting better fps and ppl can record and get better Fps then me. Am I doing something wrong? I've reinstalled and I just want to play with atleast 40-50 FPS... 30 Fps is really unplayable considering how choppy it is.

Hell yeah, gonna be interesting with this huge patch.

True dayz players don't give a shit about building. The zombie animations and running are pretty retarded right now, and the motion capture shit is awesome and hopefully it makes the game more smooth. Didn't read the rest of your bullshit.

Everything looks good to me :thumbsup: Anything being done about zombies walking through walls and hitting people through walls? It's annoying me and my friends literally... to death... * [uPDATED] - Updated zed speed to default. Does this mean they run at the same speed as player? Or slower/faster? * [uPDATED] - SQL files working on Linux. This means the mod works on Linux now or moving towards support? Sorry if this is an old question but I recall some people saying that dayz only supported windows servers and I am still under the impression that is the case. A million thanks for the item reporting of tents and vehicles now, man how annoying it was to think you had say a slot left in ur tent or vehicle and your gun gets thrown on the ground where you cannot recover it. * [uPDATED] - Hunters loot table adjusted with more weapons. I look forward to deer stands not being useless now :P

Made it to Airfield! Barracks cleared, get out of here! Sniped across the field.

Idk if he has a forum account, but frankiein1080p is a true hero of dayz lol

All you have to do is relog to fix this.

I think that all skins should be found on ground, and it should be up to the player which they like more and want to be in. They don't have to be labeled bandit skin, or hero skin neither, but I like the variety.
