I don't think so because I haven't been getting the spam since the second day of the game being out, and because my idiot friends who run everywhere and don't eat or drink enough still get spammed with the messages all the time. I tried teaching them how to play properly but they have short attention spans.

I find how grey my vision is helps me to guesstimate, also how often my character needs to eat or drink. As it stands I see in full colour and I don't get those messages any more, and I have a "healthy" message in my inventory where the orange hunger/thirst boxes appear.

It's a sandbox game, if you're unfamiliar with the concept then I dare say on-rails games like Cowwa Dooty and WoW have ruined your perceptions by making you follow corridors and quest arrows.

I agree with you, and even though I use 3rd person to do that myself, it's one reason I'd be happy with it being gone but only if 1st person was fixed first. Fix 1st person or you actually ruin the game for a lot of us by removing 3rd, because 1st person is really just a mess.

Remove third person and you just ruined the game for me. I will be fine with it if and when: Turning head bob off actually works.Movement isn't clunky as shit in first person.Turning doesn't take half an hour when not holding a weapon.Moving my mouse horizontally is as smooth as vertically.I don't feel like my character's eyes are a foot in front of it.I don't feel like I have tunnel vision even on high FOVs.I don't get stuck on objects and doors I can't even see in that view.Until then leave my optional and preferred play style alone, first person is practically broken and I don't care if you feel more "hard core" because you are masochistic enough to enjoy it.

OP is clearly baiting you guys. Way to feed the troll.

I seriously doubt they're cutting binoculars and watches, it's probably just a case of having much more important things higher on the to-do list right now. They are a small team.

It's not that we don't understand, we just know what a stupid idea it is. This game would get old fucking fast if the only things you could defend yourself with were axes and spanners. You're the one stating that the game should have no guns, I want to hear your actual argument.

Direct communication is utterly terrible in this game as it was in the mod, my friends and I actually prefer to use Steam VOIP (which is far from the best).

If you don't want a gang of bandits making you strip off and fistfight other newbies on the coast, get off the coast. This has never ever happened to me, not in SA or in the mod. Why shouldn't there be guns in the game?

God forbid people swear in a game where utterly hostile creatures are trying to rip out your guts with their bare hands and eat them, a game whereyou can handcuff someone and then break their legs with a fire axe before taking all of their stuff. Somebody think of the children, we've crossed the line here with the 'F' word people! As for your claim that the devs are against banditry, you're talking complete nonsense. I am not a bandit but Dean has stated explicitly many times that banditry is part of DayZ and that emergent gameplay is part of the entire point of this project.

The plebs can stay south and beat each other to death with shovels at Balota, more stuff for me where the loot actually is.

I think a lot of people are failing to realise how little health they spawn with. They're only eating until the yellow 'hunger' box disappears, that is nowhere near full and you probably have a lot of HP to re-gain. Last night my group came across a guy who looked like a relatively fresh spawn and I was honestly surprised as anyone when I took him clean out with a single bullet, I only wanted to scare the guy. (In case that person is reading this, I'm sorry. Unfortunately you weren't responding to comms or making any gestures, and you were looting the entire place with a fire axe. My group simply needed that stuff more than you and we weren't willing to risk you chopping one of us to bits because you had nothing to lose.)

Make sure your character is full. Not 'quenched' or whatever, that's apparently only 20% of full.Jog everywhere, use sprint only to cover open spaces until you're in cover again.Make sure you don't have an axe or firearm in your hands when jogging.Walk as soon as your character begins panting, you will recover almost immediately.Carry as little stuff as you can unless mobility is not an issue for you.Having learned these things I can traverse great distances without my character panting like a tired dog, I also see almost no hunger/thirst/tired spam any more.

I played all day yesterday and on my server the sun was permanently fixed low in the southern sky.

The mouse is all sorts of screwed up, I don't know if it's to try adding some sort of "realism" because it doesn't (I for one don't have an epileptic fit when I try turning left or right, maybe there's something wrong with me). They should make the mouse sensitivity 1:1 with no dead zones.

I don't have this problem because I know when my character is tired. I bet you have problems with your character always begging you for food and drink, too.

Yeah, we need the 'scoreboard' back. While we're at it we should probably implement kill streaks and have electric guitar riffs playing when you die or shoot somebody too.

After trying this project/fork out earlier today I am quite enthusiastic about it.

You better tell BIS they have a bug on their hands, then. Since they said third person is not only intended, but also "more realistic, in some ways". Of course, you know better, so it must be a bug.

This whole thread.

The feeling of isolation is an intended part of the game, Rocket has said so in enough interviews now. If any form of global chat is ever re-introduced to the game it should, in my humble opinion, only be via some in-game mechanic such as (rare) loot items like CB radios. If you want to play an interactive 3D chatroom then World of Warcraft has a free trial, soon it will have pandas too.

My first piece of advice would be to ditch Shit Launcher and download DayZ Commander. :)

You have played long enough to have two fantastic M4 variants and a coyote pack, and you expect us to believe you didn't know Cherno is the playground of snipers and newbie-hunting retards? Really? You had it coming.
