For me sound is very important. Not sure why it's not worked on as much as other thing's. I'm really not sure if this is lacking in the core game or due to the mod. I've found that the sounds aren't accurate at all though. I've heard shotgun blasts from far away (not sure the exact distance) that seem right next to me. Z's sound as if they're next to me as well even though they're like 20-30ft away. Sometimes Z's sound as if they're making actual human sounds too. Like when I shoot them with shotgun pellets they scream like a human being shot. But it sounds like the sounds are coming from my guy. Like the spread from the pellets are hitting my guys arms or something...Not sure if that's a gun model problem or what. It doesn't seem happen with slugs though as often. /shrug What your talking about as well - I've had that happen. I didn't hear anything when a guy entered a barn. He wasn't moving slowly either. He was in crouch run. Hopefully there's a way in the core game or the mod itself to tweak this enough to get the sounds to be more accurate.

Posted this in another thread: Yeah I don't wtf. This isn't the first time it's happened...I thought I read somewhere that it was the server getting disconnected from teh main database, hive, or some shit. Can't really remember lol. Its around here somewhere. Totally sucks. I was way up in Berezino when I logged (at like 1pm cst) and then I login a couple hours later and now I'm in Kamenka. Where I started many, many hours ago. I still have my gear, but damn. This shit is harsh. I might wait until it gets a bit more stable. I don't know or play another guy or some shit. Now I login and I'm in Chernogorsk. /shrug I thought I could create another profile and I'd play a different guy. I guess not. Guess it just changes your name. That's probably around here as well. Didn't see it. So I guess I'll just wait for this to become more stable before I play again. :(

I hate HDR so much as well. Always too bright and annoying. I couldn't find anything on how to turn it off either. The only thing in the cfg is HDRPrecision = 8, 16, 32. Defines bit depth precision of HDR. http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/arma2.cfg

Check out the other sections of the forums. There's a bandit and survivor section. Might be a better place for this (I know more people reply in general, but still). :D

I think they prefer to be called "Diligent Alpha Testers" There you go! Glass half full, ladies and gents! I'm glad exploiters, hackers and the like are around so that shit like this is found and dealt with. Keep up the good work you diligent alpha testers you!

It's hard for me to comprehend what need's to be changed to allow for this to actually work. Being able to trust people in game. Someone texting just doesn't cut it. As we've seen many a time on the internet people will type some crazy shit that they would never actually say to someone in life. All the name calling and whatnot. Even with direct voice it's going to be frustrating. Walking up to a character that look's like a man and getting a voice of a young kid. Trying to communicate with a younger kid for me isn't going to be something I'm looking forward to. There are many other factors as well that just won't be portrayed correctly in the game to be able to make these sort of decisions. I guess you could always go to forums and whatnot and get to know more people that way. Get on voice chat and talk to them. Join a clan or something. Then you have a group already set so that you won't have to worry about it. Unless of course you feel that's part of the game. To get to know and make friendships with others within the game. /shrug

Yeah that's not going to happen. Been there done that. I want to play the game. Not sit there and wait for other's to get on, wait the time it take's to find each other, get on vent, mumble, etc. to communicate. Then once we get together share loot and list goes on. I'm a stingy bitch. I seriously hate gaming with other's. Even my closest friends lol. I do however like them to be around in the world. Meaning if I want to help them out or w/e running into them somewhere I will or visa versa. Like I said I accept it for what it is, it just sucks sometimes is all. No worries.

it took me like 3 days and some 20+ hours of gaming to finally last longer than a day in th egame and actually get the needed gear to go north. But once you know your way around the coast you will be able to get the gear you need to be ready to travel north easy. You will need compass and a map either in-game map or printed map and a primary weapon. I also highly suggest you get 2 or 3 water bottles a hunting knife and box of matches. i have found tons of knives but only found matches twice so that might take awhile. Appreciate it man, but I know what need and what not. It's just no matter what I have do, I always end up dying with bags full of stuff that took forever to get. Maybe I do rush it a bit sometimes and need to spread out my play time a bit more. But just collecting all that stuff and then roll up on a player or one that you haven't seen just shoots you. It's rough. I just don't like not having a chance. Like when I get knocked unconscious by z's I can't do anything. And by the time I can I'm dead anyway. Again, with everything that took awhile to get hehe. I'm still playing though and trying to be a bit more aware. But even still...it's rough. I mean if I'm sitting there looting in a barn and someone come's up from behind me. I really can't hear them. So even then no matter how hard you tried to stay aware you still get fucked. It is what it is and I accept that. It's just hard on me sometimes to want to keep collecting losing, collecting losing. Over and over and over again.

It's cool man I see that you put "push to talk" just wasn't sure. :P

@Wüstenfuchs: Nah you can bind a key to VON on a certain channel. Forgot about it in my initial post, hehe. It's in controls under Talk on "channel name". But then people would have to manually set that bind so yeah eh...Maybe it would be better for soemone else to set it as default.

Understood man. So say they move you? And where they move you. There's some fuck somewhere you don't see him and BAM your dead anyway. But wasted all this time (not playing at all) trying to get this done. I'm just saying don't get too attached to things in this game. You'll get disappointed and it's an alpha so there will be thing's that are unavoidable - bug's and whatnot. I'm sure they will get this ironed out at some point. Meaning the spawn point won't be in a model. It's all good. Again, good luck!

Man I applaud you people for being able to stay alive so long to actually care about these things. I have a hard time wanting to even bother getting anything and just explore. Knowing at any moment I'm going to die. It's tough. I mean all the work you put into notes and what not. Not even actually knowing if they will spawn there again or not. And the time it take's to even get back and forth to those places or w/e. Unless your just mapping out places near the spawn then alright. Damn I wish I could care about this stuff more lol. Plus the in game map takes so long to access. It's easier for me to just alt-tab to one with english/russian names. /shrug

'instead lets make it take the bandit half an hour to dig a hole and bury the body in it, oh and require him to have an entrenching tool to do so' Now that actually sounds great! Let's get this done! I want to know how'd you explain knowing where your corpse was though? Yeah you as you obviously know where. But how does your newly spawned guy know? I don't know maybe I'm taking this rp thing to far. Hehe.

but respawning kills you, doesnt it? Yeah it does, but I'm not sure if it give's you another location or not anyway. I tried it last night a couple of times and spawned in the same place. Not sure if it was the exact same spot, but I was in electro every time. Not sure if you switch servers that changes things either. /shrug

I'm finding it hard to want to add anything like this in, really. The time it would take to find it would most likely not be worth it anyway. You'll just be dead at some point anyway and have to do it all over again. And if they were random spots well yeah meh. So I'm not sure how that would work out in the end. I guess if your ultra lucky (don't die ever!) it'll be useful. Plus once they fix direct chat text/VON there would be no need 'cause it would work this way anyway, but without the need for a walkie in your inventory. /shrug The idea of the sound coming from a walkie though when someone is on VON chatting with someone would be cool. Not sure if that's a feature already or not. Haven't played the actual game.

Agree with you. Even though I never looked where loot was or where it could be (on a google map or w/e). So I don't know where all the stands are and what not. I do see people talking about it in chat though. What you can find here and there. But I've been to many a stand with nothing there, but chems and flares or nothing at all. I still search everything even though. I love the map and the tension of z's that might spot me while making my way through town. I just don't like that everything isn't enter-able. I think rocket mentioned that he didn't really put much detail into loot tables and really didn't see this as being re-playable when he started this. So I'm sure now that it is what it has become. He'll put some more thought into making them much better. But who knows. Hopefully though.

Happened to me as well. I just went prone and got out. So if you can't do that, fuck it. Just respawn or have a buddy get on and see if he/she can find you and kill you. I wouldn't expect the dev's to do anything. They have so many other thing's that need doing. More important then this (getting you out of there). Sorry guy. Good luck though :P

This will change the game completely for me once fixed. Then I won't have to type (which take's entirely way too long) when confronted by someone. It's just getting people to use it that will most likely be the problem after it's fixed. People can be so damn ugh...never mind. Unless it works without even having to actually manually switch to that channel? It comes over VON regardless when you press comm direct correct? Only text comm has to be manually chosen?

Clicked on Respawn when trying to change settings. Ugh, right? Damn myself! Did that when I first started. Haven't done it in some time though. Hehe

When I stepped into an outhouse and closed the door.

I doubt they'd leave it the way it is. But I agree they are wonky. I usually just run through towns now and chain them into barns. So that I can get a handle on them. I hate doing it 'cause it's kinda cheap, but I gotta do what I gotta do, to survive :P. When gathering them they always seem to want to get behind me. They will make wide ass half circles to get there too. Would be nice to get one that at least cuts me off at least or something.

I rarely get killed by other players. I did however get killed last night after a lot of time going north. It really sucked...And it wasn't a bandit (well he didn't have the skin), so anyone can be an ass. For me the spawn campers aren't the asses. It's (like the one that got me) the people that know what you had to go through to get where you were. To just shoot you without warning or any type of communication. I was just blown away by it. Guy was just in a tree line waaay up north (in Krasnostav) just sitting there prone doing nothing...until I came he postured up and BAM, I'm dead. He got to see who he killed too, which kinda angers me as well. I couldn't see who killed me. So I can't avenge my death! Dammit! Hehe. I'm finding it hard to go back 'cause all the time it took. Now I have nothing to show for it. I'm definitely going back though at some point. I love this game...for some reason. Maybe its the map how big and beautiful it is? Maybe its what I haven't found yet? I don't know I just do. The other players in it though are just a backdrop for me. I really don't care for them, but sometimes I'm glad they're there. Hehe. Haha Grandmont, you got to be kidding me? Boring? Everything is a threat. Z's can and will one shot you (not kill you in one hit but...). If one is aggro'd the whole fucking town comes. If there's no building to enter to slow their roll or when your back peddling you get fucked. And one breaks your legs from one hit your dead. By the time you inject morphine your already bleeding to death. So then you have to bandage, if your not already knocked the fuck out. The animation takes forever so by the time that's done, your dead. Sure you can say noob this and that. Try harder blah blah blah. But with the sound being inaccurate (how close they're to you) and not being able to use 3rd person on some servers. Shit happens. To each their own I guess. I find z's fun though.

Humanity remains as a silent guardian, watchful protector. I guess...Doesn't really matter though it's not like it has consequences or incentive's attached to it. If no one else knows your number whats the point? People deal with it regardless in their own way. Even if it is just a game. Whatever, It's all good. Glad your taking out the skin transition. Keep up the great work man! Your hilarious every time you say something (in a good way). Make's me very happy your running the show. :D
