intensity (DayZ)

You can get a card 100x better for 50£ from ebay, £100 medium range. That's not expensive. If you've got a laptop then that's not my fault. Being ignorant is buying one of those computers with low end cards and then hoping to play next gen games on it.

Radeon 3200? You mean the integrated card? Wow, I bet angry birds stutter on that.

My dad was well into guns but he mainly collected handguns and hunting related guns/equipment. I don't know American law, but surely you cannot own fully automatic guns for private use? Well props to you, hopefully you won't go postal any time soon. Personally, if I found out my neighbor has more guns than the local police department I would be concerned. That is a fair point. IMO, when you pick up certain heavy bulky items you should have to equip that item. I think it was done to balance the rarity of cars vs repairing them. Still, if there were more spawns but harder to fix I think it would be good.

How much did you pay for that? 100£? If so, you could buy a medium end regular headphones that would rock your world. By medium I mean "OMFG THAT PWNS" compared to regular or shop garbage headphones. There are people out there that spend incredible amounts of money on audio equipment and they would spend more than a 100£ on speaker wires alone. Also, wireless does crap to your quality. (frequency response) I didn't ever bother with 7.1 sound, probably because it's difficult to get a decent 7.1 setup. Logitech has really changed and they have been overpricing and cutting down on production values of their audio equipment, best example is the Z906 vs Z5500 or even Z5300. As to your question, Arma II does support surround sound, because it works for me. My friend had to run it with game mode on his soundblaster for it to work, so it definitely can have hardware/software issues.

More importantly why do you have so many guns? G36, UMP, AR-15? You getting ready to be on the news?

A lot of people struggle running/installing dayz. It's kind of like the old blinking 12:00 problem on VCRs of my generation.

If you can run the mod then you will probably run the SA.

DMR is a sniper variant of the m14. Unless you are playing on servers without a crosshair there would be no reason to keep the m14 except personal preference. It has NVG compatibility as well.

Waste of 3 minutes.

It's actually dead simple if you have dayz commander. Just run it and click the install/update tab and install the latest arma beta and latest dayz. It will download and extract all you need into the apropriate directory. Now if you plan to play on servers that run different variations of dayz you need to install these too. Everything is there on that tab.

Only thing is having safe havens doesn't really work because there are always going to be bandits camping outside waiting to kill anyone going in or out. As proved by warz. Besides that this isn't a fucking zombie adventure game, even with a server full of players you should feel isolated and always under threat. That's one of the things that makes DayZ what it is. If we add havens, why don't we get mini games, QTE events, jumping puzzles, a romance story, build your own house and the possibility to have a pet zombie!

Sometimes when I read about people's bad experiences with dayz I really wonder wtf. I must have been really lucky because my framerate doesnt go below 30 and I have 460. Sometimes it stutters for a sec but I got used to it and it doesnt happen often. Zooming however was always a bit of a problem I got used to it. Weird zombie behaviour? Again, got used to it and figured them out rather quickly. Didn't know the tree/bush trick until rather late though. Gear problems? Maybe on my first day yes, it's more akin to rpg inv but it didn't pose a problem after the first day. I watched a movie that explained it in brief and I was sweet. Realism vs gameplay? I dunno, but I find it balanced between aspects that need to be very realistic (weapons) and some realistic enough (food, water, sprinting) I didnt really care about any more melee weapons, because they are mostly the same. Would it really change the game all that much if they added a sword or a club? Oh yeah we already pretty much have the equivelent of that. People complaining that the game is too hard or they don't know where they are going etc... That's the fucking point of the game! If you are struggling with that then play something else. On the other hand there seems to be a lot of ppl like this, hence all these servers with survival gear at spawn.

I can fap to this.

There was a movie on youtube that showed the final day/evening of a survivor before it all started. Alas I cannot find it anymore, it used to be posted on the main page but that has no archive function. Anyway the fact that the game just spawns you on the coast without any information and you're dead within the first 5 minutes of first launching the game can be confusing for some.

Money is burning a hole in my pocket already and I'm not the only one. The same money that Sergey Titov smelled and put warz on steam prematurely.

If the game is delayed for the purpose of polish I can live with that. Let's just hope some moron doesn't hack what they currently have and we get a buggy pre-alpha release on torrent.

While I doubt it will be out this month it's still a far cry from summer 2013.

Captain clueless strikes again! DayZ mod is now a community run project and will receive updates as such regardless of standalone. On a side note it will be interesting to see how they will grow apart.

If there would be a way to lock the loot spawn for specific players and specific areas we would have a fix (for longer than already is. As in if you server hop you will need to leave area for 15 mins for items to spawn. If Connected to the hive maybe the game can check somehow if the server you were last was within 15 minutes and if shorter if its online to determine the lock.

I've played this map for a few hours and this is my impression: Glitching floating loot in houses, bambis who camp dear stands stands and shoot you while you climb. Thanks but no thanks, I rather stick to Chernarus. Some back stabbing newspawn shot me in the head with a mac after he said friendly and I let him get to close. He looted my body and either didn't know I was knocked out or he waited until I woke up to shoot me for more lulz. I got up and watched for a second as he tried to shoot me in a panic with the ak from my backpack. *click*, *click*, *CLICK!* I had no ammo for that AK, looks like I had the last lulz as I shot him with a winchester.

More melee weapons, ability to throw them as well. Ability to change barrels wouldn't hurt. My favourite weapon is the VSS Vintorez, but such a weapon would probably be too overpowered.

There are 3 reasons why people shoot on sight: 1 They want your shit 2 They don't want you to take their shit 3 Cherno/Electro FFA The truth is that 80% of players I have come across ended in a gunfight, but those few and far in between instances when you meet someone cool are worth it. I'll never forget my first DAYZ friend. I was running around one of the coastal villages like any fresh beaner and had a makarov with a few bullets left. There was a bambi hiding in a warehouse with an axe frightened by all the shooting. I was running away from the infected when I ran into the warehouse and he was shouting FRIENDLY DONT SHOOT PLZ over voice chat. We joined up and together we made it to stary to gear up. That was a blast.

That stuff did cross my mind once, I'll admit. Along with why are you still thirsty in the rain? Many of us had a close encounter hiding in a bush and actually hearing another player sneaking and breathing. The funny thing is with all this bad diet, the stress of the situation would probably cause one to defecate themselves. I can only imagine how funny that would be if someone sneaked over to a bush and heared someone else having an accidental bowel discharge.
