Your argument, as all that I have seen so far "against" multiple characters, is very bad. The problem you describe actually does not lie in the multiple characters but in the loot saving. Even with one char per player, if you have the ability to stash your stuff somewhere you can loot without risk of losing it. Got that?

I also didn't get why you shot at him after he won the bout, but it seems you didn't kill him, so good on you if that's true

well, did he take a mosin out of his backpack? was that a previous version, because I have not yet found a backpack that could store a rifle... or did he pick one up "into his hands"?

thats true but unfortunately there are no drawbacks to things being in a ruined state other than they do not soak up damage from small attacks like zombies and fists. oh well and the scopes look shitty, but that's about it :D

I found it mostly in normal houses. It is just rare and people tend to always take it... that's why you don't see many lying around. Regarding the thing with the pistol - that was some proper bullshit, not the OPs fault. The pistol WAS NOT pointing at the person who ended up getting shot and a pistol is NOT that inaccurate, that's simply impossible. My take: they didn't yet add the pistol-swaying-animation due to exhaustion, but the effects are already in.

why do the bodies stay :( where I play they always disappear almost instantly after dieing

Hey everyone. First off - I am not actually interested in your opinions, just facts and rational arguments. I've heard "hurr durr it's fair cos everyone can do it hurr durr" - let's clear that out of the way: Example 1: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=208398492 Example 2: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=208398579 As you can see the person in the second picture could see the person in the first picture (if there actually was someone, but and not the other way round) and therefore has the unfair advantage while camping. Example 3: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=208398671 As you can see from this vantage point you can see the entire upper floor without any chance of them seeing you before you see them, giving the advancing person an unfair advantage. In both situations it is unfair even though "both persons can do it". Thank you for your attention.

yeah that first person stuff is just too unrealistic, can't even look at the back of your head or through solid walls, really annoying

So since the 3d person cheating will probably never be fully dealt away with, and also because it would be cool - how about adding a periscope? That way even the people playing the game the way it's meant to be played can look around corners, but still not as abusable as the 3d person cheaters because other people can actually see the periscope-lens and also it would not give unhindered view like the cheating 3d person way to look around corners, it would be more like a really big scope view. A good way to implement it (usability) would be that "normally" it is just straight up, in all stances (standing, crouch, prone) so you can look through a window without showing your head/look over a fence. And if you want to look around a corner you "lean" towards that corner (standing and crouch only ofc) and the periscope then is turned horizontally so you can look around the corner. Possibly add a way to elongate/shorten it in the inventory, so if you pull it all the way out you can look "farther" above your head/next to you but it takes more space in the backpack than when you have it shorter. Also possibly add the options for a wide-eye lense or telescopic lense. For night maybe duct tape a flashlight to the front ;) This is not a discussion about whether or not using 3d person to cheat-look around corners is "fair" (it is not and I could give you examples) if you want to talk about that open yourself a thread.

oh by the way: It is still used today. In the military they have them in armored vehicles, for example humvees. Tanks have an item with similar function but it is not removable. Building-contractors use periscopes to look inside walls that have metal in them so they can see if there's wiring, gas or water pipes.

I don't think a Mosin Nagant is a common military issued rifle in today's time either. Non sequitur and false. Think about the coming hardcore (no 3d person) servers False. Yes. Yes you can roleplay that, it is still unfair as you yourself said. (Why not? But to each his own. I myself will not cheat just because others do) edit: you should read what "passive-aggressive" actually is, it is not what you think it is, but I understand what you meant

are you high? edit: you do realize that has nothing to do with the engine? there are 3d person engines based on valves engine used in half-life (original cs) and the source engine (half-life2, cs:s etc)?

Hello! My screenshots in DayZ/Arma2 are just black. Plain black. No matter if I use a third party program or the "print" key on the keyboard. Could my firewall/antivirus be the issue? Comodo Internet Security is what I have. Help is much appreciated! Have a nice DayZ

You start near dieing of thirst and hunger. Eating/drinking enough to make the hunger/thirst go away is NOT the same as eating enough so you get to heal! Eat a LOT, like two full powdered milk thingies, wash it down with 15 sodas, don't run around(yes! it takes away energy) and you will heal. It even says "healing" in the inventory screen then.

3d person faggotry, sigh

http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/156426-suggestion-multiple-characters/ Two characters with a mechanic that keeps you from going onto the same server that the other char was in the last ~12 hours. That would be good. We're not all schoolchildren who can always play at the same time.

removed? pansy!

it definetly makes the icon appear, it is not "sick but missing icon" try it on a fresh char with no injuries whatsoever - or on your current char after having already cleaned your wounds and gotten through the sickness that resulted from the alcohol tincture

you're actually not that lucky - AB+ would be lucky as then you can take anyones blood and it won't hurt you. 0+ (it's a zero) means you can get blood only from other 0+ and from 0- A+ for example can get from 0+, 0-, A+, A-

Wow, two more guys with absolutely no clue. Read the thread next time before you open those holes in the things normally called "face". Time limit on joining the same server with the other char and your "complaints" are null and void.

And your opinion is stupid. If current1y told you anything new you just didn't read the thread, dickwad. "meeting halfway takes very little time" you suppose running blindly through the map or you have no idea what you are talking about

will there be a hotfix for the disappearing bodies? either you die and lose everything or you kill the other sunofabitch and don't gain anything, it screws up the whole experience

the biggest issue right now is the disappearing bodies somebody attacks you or you want someones gear - either you kill him and don't gain anything or you die and lose everything will there be a hotfix for that, please?

So you just said nothing of use to the matter. I can think of how having another character is beneficial, as stated - one to play alone and one with other guys to group up. There just is no way to exploit it that can't be easily fixed. I have proven that a few times now with stupid people like you trying to point out how "it's so bad look at this", easily refuting your stupid points. I have an attitude towards people that fits the people, like you - stupid. So why not call you that? Moderator Note: Abuse, insults and personal attacks directed at other people are unacceptable.
