    Do you play Experimental version or Regular, and why?

    Experimental because I am impatient.
  3. Don't worry, I'm not arguing either. I just always seem like I am. Edit: Due to certain circumstances I just happen to have both a GTX 580 1.5GB and a GTX 760 2GB [comparison] on hand, so I did some testing in Vybor which is one of my main problem areas when it comes to urban FPS. With the same settings* and in the same location I got identical framerates on both, around 22-23 FPS. CPU utilisation didn't top 70% with my 2500k at stock, I have previously tested CPU utilisation at 4GHz with similar results. The only video option that affects my framerate whatsoever in this scenario as object detail, I had it set to very low and turning it up to max took my FPS down to ~18, no other video option in the game seems to affect my framerate in Vybor no matter how high or low. Outside of Vybor settings actually seem to have an effect and I can get anywhere between 35fps almost maxed out or 70fps with a bunch of stuff on normal. A friend of mine has reported similar results on an R9 270 but using a completely different (older, AMD) CPU setup. Almost the same performance with some slight differences, and seemingly no affect from changing most graphics settings. *2560x1440 with verything maxed except object detail on very low, no SSAO and no post-processing, antialiasing on high and trees+grass filter on.
  4. In which case, according to Rocket's statements, there wouldn't be a console version. Only when the PC version is done, or they can spare the resources without detriment to the PC version.
  5. Thankfully Rocket has said multiple times that they will only consider a console port if the game sells well and if making one wouldn't hinder the progress of the PC version.
  6. But Rocket has said in his livestreams that there is bags of room for optimisation, both server and client-side, based on feedback from hardware companies. Also, thankfully, this issue is very situational so hopefully any optimisations here won't be eaten up any more than the general performance of the game by adding more players/zombies/loot etc. Many people do, any many that claim they don't seem to exaggerate a little.

    Why is hardcore so underpopulated?

    I too would describe myself in this way but this is precisely why I generally enjoy hardcore servers more than regular. In the same way people enjoy being scared by a horror film or a roller coaster, I enjoy feeling that sense of stress and anxiety in a controlled manner. It's a nice outlet that beats the real thing any day of the week.

    The Unwritten Rules of Dayz

    You forgot the main two. :O 1. Don't get attached to your gear. 2. Don't trust anybody.

    The most underrated City on the Map

    I wish this were true when I go there, I always run in to two or more players in Zeleno.

    With Rocket starting his new studio

    You know, I am about sick of people using this term on the internet when they clearly have no idea what it means.

    What made you think this shite was worth its own thread? :emptycan:

    Remove guns from the game.

    On the one hand we might be left with just shotguns and .22 rifles*, on the other we would have cricket bats. ;) *Of course in reality we also have police and military stockpiles where you'd find some lovely stuff like H&K, not to mention bows and such too.
  15. DarkwaveDomina

    Do you want firearms to be rarer?

    Mongs. :P
  16. DarkwaveDomina

    Do you want firearms to be rarer?

    If you're including shotguns and such in that category, then I agree. Maybe the .22 rifles when they are in the game too. Someone with an M4 (and good at using it) should be quite formidable, at least when the M4 works anything like it does in real life, as such I think they should be more rare. I say this as someone who tends to favour the M4 over any other weapon, I find so many of them just lying around it's a little beyond a joke.

    Do you want firearms to be rarer?

    I support the idea of rarer firearms, I think ten hours is a lot though.

    Rocket standing down from Dayz by end of year

    I know I said I wouldn't bother replying again but this point wasn't addressed in my post, yet again though you're not making a point of any worth whatsoever. DayZ has belonged to BI long before standalone was released, years ago when the mod was still more or less in development. Rocket sold them the intellectual property because he wanted their resources behind it and he now earns royalties on sold copies, which is why it's precisely in his own self-interest that it get finished and continue to sell. Seriously, every point you have made reads like you either haven't been following the progress of the game for the last 18 months or two years or it reads like you haven't bothered reading anything Rocket himself has said since this announcement. You're just a typical poster with 'internet outrage'. Anyway, I do have to go out in just over an hour so this really will be my last response to you. Before you even bother replying to stomp your feet in outrage again, go back and read post #894 until it finally sinks in.

    Rocket standing down from Dayz by end of year

    You talk so much shit it's unreal. Edit: I refer you back to my last post, before you even bother replying again just go and look at my previous post because I don't feel like repeating myself any more.

    Rocket standing down from Dayz by end of year

    You keep saying "lack of commitment", clearly showing that you haven't read a word of his responses just as I said. He wants to leave for numerous, very understandable reasonsHe is only leaving when he's not required any more, when the team can do everything he can doHe has worked hard to embed his philosophy toward the game in to his teamHe plans to stay until the end of the year, alpha is scheduled to be concluded thenHe wants the game to succeed, it's even in his interest as he earns royalties from every saleKick and scream all you want, there is nothing objectionable about any of this.

    Most friendly people ever

    I don't think any bandits will object to me speaking on their behalf when I say: You mean murderer. Stop using the word bandit when you clearly mean murderer.

    Dayz current state

    OP the page you bought the game on told you not to buy it because it's a mess, some of you need to take some personal responsibility and stop pretending you were forced to buy DayZ at gunpoint. Thanks for spending the $30 though, hopefully the game will be finished just as planned and you can come back to enjoy it with us (assuming you have grown up by then).

    I'll go to Svetlo when I get more than 20 fps there. :(

    Rocket standing down from Dayz by end of year

    This time I actually did read your post, totally disappointing just as I expected. You neither seem to understand why he's leaving nor understand that he doesn't belong to you, to BI, or even to DayZ. If you can actually claim he shows "a distinct lack of commitment" I don't think you've read a damn word he has said since this announcement.
