Whether you like it or not the game would be boring if everyone was friendly and got along. The zombies have never been too much of a problem once you got yourself a bit of starter gear, bandits were always the real threat and what got the adrenaline flowing for most DayZ players. I just wish it was closer to a 50/50 ratio, like the early days of the mod, rather than the 90/10 ratio we have these days. Yup, that's pretty much what I was saying. The people who upload videos purely because they like playing games and they like making videos tend to be a lot more likeable, therefore are better recieved than those that want 100,000 subscribers on day one with as little effort put in as possible. Only recruitment topics are allowed to be bumped and that's limited to once per 24 hours. Don't make me ban you! *shakes fist* >:(

I think the real question is "how can YouTubers/streamers help the community?". In my experience the vast majority are egotists who are only doing it for the views/likes/subscribers and looking to make a quick buck. Usually the people who are doing it for the right reasons are the ones who are successful. Just my $0.02.

Someone did a shoddy unofficial port ages back. My guess would be that it was abandoned due to being completely broken and the "developer" being in way over his head. Breaking Point is available for A3, but I'm really not a fan of the direction that they took it in unfortunately.

Yes, they do. You should get "my arm/leg hurts" etc. notifications in the bottom-left. I think there should be some kind of status notifier in the inventory to make it clear how damaged your limbs are TBH. It's kind of hard to forget that your "arm is extremely painful" in real life.

I never thought I'd hear the words holster, banana and "feel normal" in the same sentence.

I think that's slightly ambitious. I'm still holding out for a stable 60 in cities, but I think 100 might be pushing it a little...

You can't get 50+ FPS in cities right now, it's just not possible unfortunately. I'm running an i5 3570k @ 4.5Ghz and an overclocked GTX 780 and I drop down to 30-40 FPS in cities. AMD CPUs just don't have the single core performance of their Intel counterparts and SLi/xfire setups have never been effective in RV, so short of building an Intel/single powerful GPU machine there isn't much you can do at this point.

Are you able to run other intensive games (e.g. Arma, Planetside 2)?

Try running on integrated graphics to see if your card is the cause of the problem.

I'm not really a fan of the Payday masks, but I recognise that Rocket was a fan of the game and wanted to feature a kind of homage to it in DayZ. Plus I don't really think that masks, bandannas, balaclavas or other items that one could use to disguise themselves are really that out of place in an apocalyptic scenario. The same applies to the gestures which I'm sure are useful to players who prefer a more RP-based play style. I just don't see what the ability to holster or wield a banana would add to the game.

Those were the days... :rolleyes:

Yes, this is a must IMO. Skyrim style customisation would be best, but even being able to select from a relatively large number of preset faces for each race would suffice.

In all honesty I don't see any place for weilding a banana in what is intended to be a serious apocalyptic survival simulator. When the basis for the argument for an idea is essentially "why not?" I think that says a lot about the idea in question.

Make sure you get a nice cooler and read up on overclocking too then. :P

I play other games. I played a tonne of DayZ when the alpha released then pretty much stopped playing to wait for content. I would have thought that I'll get back into it around beta time when things start getting interesting.

Updating BIOS can be risky business unfortunately. If something goes wrong you can essentially brick your system.

As someone who thinks that DayZ should be made infinitely more difficult this is simply too much IMO. Sometimes you just can't play for a while, regardless of how "dedicated to the game" you are. I don't think that people deserve to be punished for that.

Moved to Mod Servers & Private Hives.

The Arma 3 alpha was also released about a year before the DayZ alpha in case you hadn't noticed.

If Steam is using enough resources to cause even the smallest change in performance then either you have a problem with your installation or were due an upgrade about 5 years ago.

Or you could always buy a bigger mouse mat like a normal person... :P

I don't think you should be able to carry two without finding a sling TBH.

Sounds good. :thumbsup: I think the injury and medical system needs to be completely overhauled TBH.

You're looking at 15-20 FPS in 1280x720 resolution, which is just about playable but will be choppy at times.

In a survival situation things don't have a set value. You might think an assault rifle would be more valuable than a can of beans, but what if you're starving to death?
