Please remove the flashing screen from game - this effect when you're hurt or something. Its extremely annoying, my eyes literally hurt from seeing it, and I stop playing in this moment. Second thing - I'm not caring very much about other people illness, but it must be a nightmare for people with epilepsy - lalalallala - youre walking by the forest singing - and suddenly a flash from the zombie hit and you're on the floor shaking in convulsions... (or does it work in other way?) Please think about any other effect, not a horrible constant, rhytmical blinking - I don't know, some texture overlay, darkened screen or something. [edit] Later in this thread you have a video: http://youtu.be/pPOKgRPeeGg Another video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BKsc5Km_38 A longer video: http://youtu.be/jU1C0v2HHi8

When the global chat will be removed, it would be interesting to have different possible direct chats with different reach radius and maybe appearance. So, for example, you're sneaking with yorur buddy to the town and you see another survivor - you WHISPER with your buddy what to do (your buddy hears you, the other survivor does not). You decide to SHOUT to the other survivor (everyone in the place, zombies and even a bandit hiding on the other side of the town in the wood hears you). When running in relatively secure surroundings you can TALK to eachother, so you still hear eachother when there is some distance between you. Or you can SHOUT for help, hoping for someone to hear you, but risking that it will be bandits or zombies. etc. etc. Now, how could it be realised? From technical point, I don't know. I see two possibilities - one chat channel with different possibilities (eg. start your chat with "\" for SHOUT "another key" for WHISPER, etc. Or separate channels for SHOUT, WHISPER, TALK, with different colours - SHOUT most visible etc. What do you think?

MUSHROOMS! We already have those in the game!

Done!

Right now I think there are only one "fruits" of the forest, that is mushrooms. Those would be the most interesting to use. But you could insert some other into the game, like bilberry, cowberry etc., so you could live by the forest - hardly of course (nothing better than bean). By eating normal berries you would gain some food, but by eating devil's berries you would get sick and lost blood, etc. I was inspired by the vision of one of the users: http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=7706&pid=71411 And maybe add also vomiting possibility...

Our pleasure :D

1. Take time to repair/remove all the "gamey" possibilities. 2. Make the game harder - increase the role of survival, like you are already doing, eg. with infections, temperature, environment thing. I know, I know, totally not original and ideas not mechanics.

^ This is the fucking thing, but sometimes it's much much longer.

Read the description of the video (yes, it's possible, that it shows normal thing). Then read the post of different people in this thread. My specs were already posted. But yes, it would be good to have a full video of this bug.

You have forgotten about one thing, rocket - the "COD kiddies" are often people that have a "gamey" approach to the game - they know where the best loot spawns (so good that the game gets boring for them as a survivor thing, and all that is left is COD-style PK), they use spawn tricks, they log off when in danger - you're valorizing this positively and calling this a "fucking organized" group having a "strategy"...

Dont quadruple the Zombies, it will make even more a COD of this game. Just leave the server and seek another one - I do so when I see much immature texts in chat. Fortunately I'm still managing to find some interesting servers, where you can talk with mature persons. But I'm a loner hiding in the woods, so I don't see much of a fight.

As said, maybe you don't see the problem, because the flashing dissapears after a second for you. Now try playing the game when it constantly flashes for a minute... The possible bug is flashing for long period of time making the game unbearable. I really don't care too much about epileptic people, but seeing this effect for longer time I was starting to fell epileptic myself, at least in my head, heh.

There are mushrooms in the game - maybe Rocket can find some use for them? Would be nice.

And uncheck this fucking "Show friendly redirect pages"! - much better.

Try also the "Display posts in classic mode" - its great.

This forum looks 1999 even without sigs. It's unreadable shit :)

Making stroboscope out of the game screen is stupid, don't you think? Have fun looking at this: I would be surprised if it was actually supposed to be so. Or not? I hope there will be some comment from Rocket.

Upload it on youtube or somewhere else so we can hear it online. I agree that winchester sound is wrong.

For me its also a recent problem, I don't remember having it in previous builds (Arma beta & Dayz builds).

Thanks for testing, it's sad if this would be the only possibility to get around this bug, beta improved the netcode & performance. But I will try.

I run Dayz with latest Arma 2 beta patch (93160 now). I have Geforce GTX 460 v2 with latest nvidia driver (301.42) running on Win7 x64. I have "very low" postprocesing option in Arma. Please tell me, how it is realistic? If you ever get hit in the face you know, that you dont see constant white flashing, but your "screen" darkens for a second, until you regain consciousness. And you certainly don't need to walk for minutes after that seeing constant flashing...
