Like when watching some dayz youtube videos of a guy crawling through NWAF and me constantly hitting right button of my mouse trying to zoom in :rolleyes:

Having more variety in vehicles would not only be nice and fun but I for once would also appreciate not seeing the same type of vehicles from arma 2 like the V3S. I understand that truck fits the game theme settings but I would prefer not seeing the same vehicles over and over again. That said, there are plenty of construction sites on Chernarus + as well fire stations and hospitals and I think some equipment, like driveable construction vehicles would nicely complement those areas. Some examples

I have no idea what servers are you all playing on but I just finished 3 hour session and there seems to be no loot anywhere to be found. I was unable to find melee weapons, no food, no bottles nothing whatsoever bar books, pens, hats, and a damaged hoodie. What gives? Yes I've read the central economy is in works now and we're ought to look at all the less frequented places but even then, though luck and I died of starvation once again. Apple trees and berry bushes are a complete waste of time and I might want to wait till further tweaks

The old and well known bless and curse of arma 2 were mods. I believe one of the reasons tools like six updater, Dayz commander and various other launchers has been developed to ease of manually changing parameters in game shortcut and make joining servers a breeze. We all know there are hundreds of mods, from different weapon camo skins to entire nation defense forces arsenal, and than there are mods like ACE and PR and obviously, even more. Here's the thing, I re-installed dayz after long brake as the stand alone seemed to be still quite far from being to be published and I was also wondering if some of the issues I experienced at ''my'' time of playing has been improved upon or changed , removed...whatever. I completely understand why the community shifted towards locked up servers or else tweaked but the problem there is right now, is that there are like 3 maybe 4 official servers that I am able to join right now. The rest of the near 5000 servers (according to play with six) are either locked, kick players due to restriction error #44, #40, #212 ...or whatever and / or others and the rest is a massive amount of private hives that are not even clearly labeled as non official. I don't have any favorite server that I regularly play on and I must say, finding any official servers that I can just click on and start playing, is next to impossible. Please don't take this wrong, I'm not pointing my finger at the dev team nor server owners. I just wanted to ''summarize'' the situation that I believe 1000's of other players facing and how the initial thought of ''a single mod - dayz'' completely vanished and became as cluttered with other mods as arma I remember :( Hopefully the SA gets released VERY soon and all this mods and clutter will once again be gone and for ever.

I am indeed talking about handgun magazines being rarer than high powered rifles. It's good you guys have had better luck but as per my post I am yet to find anything other than Makarov magazines. As for loaded magazines laying around, I didn't even bring that up and whether I find loaded mag or empty makes no difference to me in any way. Once again the issue I am discussing here is the rarity of magazines. The original Chernarus has been designed around Northern part of Czech Republic so its safe to assume the trend continues on Cherna plus, even if with little artistic touches took over to make the map more interesting. Once again I couldn't care less about magazines being loaded or half empty, my issue is that handgun magazines are far too scarce. The Police in CR carry side firearms to start with AFAIK, not to mention the Special forces used or still use MP5 widely.

I always have to LOL at posts like this, so helpful :rolleyes: Last time I've checked providing subjective feedback on new features is not moaning

Still doesn't explain why handgun magazines are so utterly rare as there's no reason for it and Czech rep. is not semi-rural. I agree that rifles would be far more useful than handguns ( however backup handgun is not to be frowned upon anyways ) but the way I see it is that this isn't about what is more useful and what isn't but why are handgun magazines so rare to begin with and that's not to mention that handguns is all that is ''really'' needed in days to survive and not make a COD out of it. Appreciate not everyone can share the same view on that

Agree with OP on this. I was able to find a box or two of .45 acp in non military areas but I barely recall if I ever seen 9mm anywhere but military places. The 7.62x39 is not super rare but far from common at which point I agree it is waste of time than. My main issue is with not only ammo availability as per OP but especially pistol magazines. I find it little ridiculous that so many are running around with high powered rifles yet finding a magazine for anything other than Makarov apparently requires silly amount of dumb luck. I am yet to find FX magazine or 1911M magazine and I've found one for CZ45 in countless hours put in. My point is that I can find 3 Mosins rifles, ammo and LRS before I am able to find a pistol magazine yet wouldn't handguns be far more common firearm for domestic self defence? Also has anyone ever found MP5K and mag for it? Furthermore I still dislike the whole military area loot. If there was an outbreak or civil unrest, most civilians would go to their nearest military & police station first thing, therefore there wouldn't be much left afterwards. I have no issues with heli crashes but special & high powered rifles should be scattered all over chernarus IMO anyways

I have to agree with OP, the V3S literally, doesn't even move without the turbo key constantly pressed down and the vehicle feels like it weights 3 times its real weight. The steering is little erratic as well and its worth keeping in mind that not everyone is using a steering wheel or gamepad. As for starting engine and opening the doors, I surely hope that is just temporary solution having ALL the action crumbled in that horrible drop down menu again. I don't see a reason why we have to have separate commands for opening doors and getting in when surely simple get in is sufficient? Furthermore the V3S seem to be little fragile and absence of any damage indicators doesn't help. While not realistic the previous damage indicator display worked just fine.

You may have to decide whether to go the prebuild ( alienware etcetera ) route or pick parts and build one yourself ( or supply those parts to a nearest shop that will put it together for you. IMO the most fun is to build one yourself as its rather easy with basic knowledge and common sense, not to mention that you will maximize the performance per money spent . I would never buy pre- build systems as they tend to skimp on some parts but I appreciate it works out for some. As from this link, composed by Shadow 134 http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/196501-gaming-pc-budget-builds/ Even with nearly unlimited budget, I don't see how anyone would need anything better than the It is well balanced and easily upgradeable PC for reasonable cash. Actually pretty much the best for that sort of money The only thing I disagree with is the Seagate HDD which I hate ( seagate ) but thats a personal bias talking. Anyways, I recommend WD Caviar blue series, 1Tb should be sufficient. You could also get little better power supply, not that theres anything wrong with corsair as they make excellent supplies ( For just few quid more you could get the RX or TX series instead ) but some appreciate even higher efficiency but is again, purely subjective.

I would expect performance on the low side ( with low settings ) but should be manageable Buy a desktop

As previously mentioned, i5 is more than good enough. There's no reason to pay 100 more for ~10% improvement and more expensive does not always equal better so I'd definitely save my cash and put it on some good set of headphones instead

Just heads up, the 1000W PSU is a mighty overkill even for 2 way gtx 770 SLI

@ Baros - yes it'll run @ Legoman - intel i5 is good enough and the rest of the build looks solid

I'm doubtful it will run the game above 15 fps. Probably not the ideal way to get the feel of the game, sorry It should be playable on high but lower resolution than 1080p will provide you with smoother fps The easy formula ( if there;s any ) is that laptop HW must be a level or two above the same components in their desktop counterparts to keep up. Eg - laptop with intel i5 would roughly compare to desktop with intel i3 - kind of thing Forget anything in the AMD ''A-x'' series for the lack of performance. The higher performers starts with the FX series tl;dr - FX 6300 and up should be worthwhile looking into It won't run at that resolution and I'd remain sceptical about lowest settings too

Hey OP is obviously fresh spawn IRL and shooting those whom can't shoot back is his way of paying back in teh virtual world

I own another game that is in alpha and is not a low budget but it CTD crashes like a bitch ( for the past 6 months ) and yet it should release sometimes Q 3/4 2014 and with that said I'd say dayz is pretty solid in comparison but the other game has core that is far more solid - gameplay wise...sigh I think they've released solid foundation of which I wanted to be part of BUT I do think that the development is slow as hell though and I fear there's zero chance we hit beta this year, I just don't see it. Let's have a look no further than other bohemia titles and their arma 3. It's been officially released a while ago but I will be damn generous if I say it feels like a damn beta. Dayz development seem to be far more productive or should I say, noticeably improving - faster, than arma 3 but probably slower than other titles might EDIT Don't let the man off of chains lol I don't even blame the developers though as ( and take it as you will ) the RV engine is apparently such a piece of shit to work on and around that no wonder it takes ages for devs to double check if some dependencies didn't break yet another thing

Plimax@ it should run just fine on 1080p - high but do expect some fps drops in towns Also I suggest swapping that HDD for WD Caviar blue 1TB instead What is it that you need to fit into that budget and is it strictly £300?

Welcome to the pack all

My suggestion is to force stop automatic reload after shot from every bolt action rifle and the reason for it is that when I fire, I'd like to have the ability to watch for bullet impact without my char already reloading and therefore shaking the scope all over the place. The expected behaviour would be - as long as the player holds his fire button ( LMB ) this will keep him steady looking through the scope after shot has been fired and when a fire button is released the weapon is then reloaded. ( its standard feature in just about any other game that has long range rifles ) Cheers

I'd welcome barrel wearing / changing as barrel overheating is not likely to happen in dayz

Another user asked the same question on previous page. I would really not recommend that processor even if on tight budget

I see what you mean but BF4 while it might have that ( I can't say as I don't play it ) but its realistic feature and aside for comparison it has nothing to really do with bf4

My car has a steering wheel and I was wondering what will be the maximum speed I can go... I mean really?! Should run on low but will very likely struggle even then

But that's precisely what I mean. Lack of performance - lag / low FPS
