And I will stand against rocket on every single turn of this. Storing gear and allowing respawned players a place to regear is absolutely against any definition of "perma-death". Then some clanny gets designated priority and idles in some random woods until someone force feeds him drink and food so the tents remain. Eat it rocket. Tents break the game.

I'm almost entirely drunk when I do this so I think it's either a right click and/or adding it to the tool bar. I've read a number of pages so far. I'll test it further for my brother Het.

I pray tents will never be added. Ever.

This will absolutely change over time. Expect starvation and/or eating people. edit, btw. Food is pretty easy to find inland even on a 40/40 and you're not guaranteed to run into idiots inland either. There is no reason to avoid high pop servers. Find a well, drink up, run inland and find food and then you're all set to do other looting.

LOL @ OP. He doesn't even have a single book.

i'M 100% converted. I honestly have no interest in third person perspective (3pp:on) anymore. The mechanics of third person absolutely tip the scales of DayZ towards mindless deathmatching.

I feel TOO safe though.

I have a couple extra computers and a phone that I could use to communicate through. I don't think I'm alone in this. We must accept the third party communication systems as they're not going anywhere.

I enjoyed it greatly. Even the melee combat is more fun.

I'd love to see what would happen to the in-game community if FPV was "accidentally" forced with the new update.

"I'll take anything really, even if it's equipped like a Romanian jail, I'll get on it." So much great.

Solution: Remove the ADS accuracy from 3rd person and increase the time it takes to switch between views by adding a slower camera change and *кашель* hip fire accuracy. Currently, when you fire in third person, your character raises his weapon and then fires just as accurately you could in first person view if you could compensate for the inaccuracy, which is always much lower than the crosshair dot. A player with enough experience to anticipate the perceived lower trajectory could dominate anyone in first person view assuming he could click the mouse button fast enough. With enough experience using the current the third person view, you could dominate anyone playing in FP. Combine this with the ability to look around any corner in absolute safety. this completely destroys any reason to use the FPV. In combat, an experienced player can use the current system to do nothing but "run and gun" high value coastal towns or military hotspots. This partly explains the newspawn player's tears. Adjusting the time it takes to gain the current ADS accuracy would potentially prohibit rapid twitch kills from quick switch style players or panicky survivors and this much would at least break some player's dependency from their third person shooter twitch instincts. TLDR: reduce third person accuracy greatly, increase transition time between views. Reduction of third person spotting could also be solved by one of the various adjustable third person view proposals based on distance from object or whether a player is "in" a building or not. Blah. I am a diehard third person shooter but I've been converted by a decent rig and quality gameplay.

I'm addressing the other major issue with third person view, the shooting from third person. There are already a lot of solid solutions to the peak around the corner issue. By gimping the players ability to quickly switch views and not allowing them to panic shoot in third with much accuracy, there will be less incentive to use it in high risk areas. We've been having this debate for as long as I can remember. It's not new and has nothing to do with the DayZ becoming "commercial".

It's really really easy to avoid the deathmatchers. Most of them are far to lazy to leave the coast.

A steep black gradient from the corners of the screen, think super fuzzy nvg view from a2 without the green, might work better than the current bloodloss fade or a status bar. edit: btw, why is this even an issue?

I believe rocket has mentioned wanting to avoid scripted events like this.

Nope. I just drop it and go on my way. Hopefully some players have found all the full packs I drop along the way as well.

I just drop gear like that on random roads.

At a much later date, definitely.

Just slummed through Cherno and snuck by Balota. Sick but well fed. Who's coming with me?
