Duct tape... maybe if you wrap the whole head..

Did you try rebooting your pc? Did you unplug your pc from the mains and waited minute or so before applying power again? Did you unplug the keyboard and attached it again after waiting minute or so? Are you certain that your keyboard drivers are up to date? Are you sure you are pressing the right button? This is higly important. Are these questions help full?

Fair enough, good points. If crafting gun with duct taped flaslight is no go I start to wonder, how no go is something even more important and tasking.. Maybe later, sure they have more important stuff to work on now time wise... sure duct taped flashlight is great addition to gameplay and should be done, Im quite sure they could do it by just simple flashlight with ductape on its model when crafted. I really dont mind about if anything is sawn off, but everything that bring more to the gameplay should be considered.

Why not? I dont think it takes much effort from the devs side, then anyone can fkup their gun if they like to... its not away from anybody, dont cut yours if you dont like it. You should be able to cut your m4 in half if you liked to, use it without necessary attachments etc etc.

People seem to forget that game will change on other aspects too than just add new stuff to it... zombies are finished, gun sounds draws attention, ammo becomes more rare etc etc yada yada. You might not want to draw all that attention by your double triple tapping or you just dont have ammo to do so.... Its fair to assume that things are going to get balanced when the game comes out. Its not good to base your opinnions on the current state of the game and what uses it may have now, dont be too short sighted.

Indeed, when alphas generally are not public so you dont know how many years they work with it.. Now when you can join one they want it all immediately like it was complete game. And maybe the couble of month is the case today as all releases are just map/texture packs... Bf/cod anyone?

That was quite long "flight", avarage joe will tip it over when the skits leave the ground. That guy had vague idea how its controlled.

Ok, so what you want me to say? That armed or not helis will ruin the gameplay? Make this another arcadey shooter with battlefield series or arma series? That point of view doesnt have base what so ever. Everyone arguing from that point of view (against) has assumption that when implemented it is done without balancing that makes the heli some unmatched deathmachine. TRUE if its done so then its a problem, but why would you make it a problem before its even in? I cant blame you guys against armed helis, when its been joke in many games like battlefield and arma, but you should not confuse those to this game. Then there is party that just dont want because it feel unneccesary in a way or another? They bring helis and make them hard to maintain, repair, fly and all that. Again same argument can be made about allmost every item they bring in after the very basics, one type of food, clothing items... everything after that is just extra and variety to keep people entertained. Thats basically what this heli thing is all about variety in transportation and armament. Every feature in same category (vehicles) have their pros and cons, helis will be just another line in that list. If someone feels they are unnecessary then its fine, but that doesnt mean that they should exclude them from the game entirely when other people might find use for them. Then there is people that want these implemented, me included. They might have their own assumptions of one godly deathmachine, and get disapointed or not. I belong to this group in a way that I try to think this more "realistically" through balancing aspects and features that may affect the outcome. I dont say my point of view is right but I feelt its the most neutral. That is when I think they should bring the helis, but in a way that its balanced through combination gameplay aspects. It's ONLY about the way it is implemented. It is not necessary to expect anything yet, we are in alpha and then in beta where the most balancing happens. When in beta its time to start bitching about issue that ARE in game, not before. There is SO MANY things that could affect the out come how helis are player, armed or not that this conversation isnt really timely right now. If its done "wrong" from my perspective its not implemented at all or its implemented the way it becomes that godly deathmachine that the people against it are afraid. Im fairly confident on devs idea on this game that I dont see that arcadey aspect happening. Points I think on this topic.. Spare parts Complexicity of the maintenance Wear and tear Fuel types for various helis like huey and robinson. Armament ammunition Skill needed to fly etc etc Even with those there is HUGE amounts parameters to tweak and make them to work in this game. They could bring whole ARMA vehicle category and still keep the game in the right track what ever you want to call it "zombie survival sim". Heh, Ever thing of that adding X doesnt automatically transform game from Y to Z? On that note, has this game transformed to some fashion catwalk sim where we can try various outfits when they add new pants?

lol, did you really think this true? BF4,3,bfbc2,bfbc,2,1 what ever have nothing to do with this. It doesnt make it bf4 if they add variation to the game, thats just rediculous comment what ever your trying to say with it. Same with adding high calibre rifles... doesnt make game cod. All for it, add paraglider. Nothing wrong with that eighter... same with helis, nothing wrong. Its all matter of method how they are implemented. Even if I personally wont even get access to flying one they should be ingame, If anyone is willing to make it work thats fine. Its not away from anyone. What comes to the points about spotting shit and such, its has nothing to do with helis. Maybe they should fix textures and shit that it wont paralyze other features or restrict them... People really need to think this from other perspectives than their own, be objective.

Dont get me wrong, Im all for it... harder the better. But 95% of the current arma/dayz "bad ass" helipilots would go down in flames if even the TOH mechanics would be implemented. Even removal of autohover and trim would make them cry when they cant keep the heli stable. Vortex ringstate is easily left out from game, speacially non flightsim like dayz... In dayz the level of skill needed to fly heli effectively, would be exponentially increased with TOH mechanics and would need for capable person, not just some random guy. With keyb+mous combo its nearly impossible to counter torgues/throttle/trims with any kind of precision when its all or nothing from the controlls, specially rudder. If not really impossible, unpleasant and it looks awfull. As said vortex ringstate is minor thing to introduce to this game...

What?? Have you played TOH? Stick it to hardest difficulty with no autotrims, auto hovers and shit. You cant fly it without pedals, joystick and throttle lever. When you combine that with 1st person its pain without headtracking. 3th person perspective is just otherwise rediculous with those equipment to start with. 3th person goes ok in arcadey arma2/battlefield etc mechanics, mouse and keyboard.

So in your DayZthe apocalypse is contained in chernarus? What if the other world is in same shit? Yada yada... Why would you risk leaving to unknown area with your heli to possibly find nothing when you can use it to gain most out of your present living area etc... Its is not about need. Its about content and things to do. If it doesnt bring anything because it will be too complicated,hard what ever? Why coudnt they add it just like they add newly colored hat for variation! If the heli stands on he NWAF it doesnt mean shit. With that question, why do you need cars if you have bike, why do you need multible clothing types with same features yada yada. There is nothing wrong adding helis when there is time for it, no one can argue they are bad if those are balanced. So only thing we can do is to speculate shit and flame each others opinnions. Now people base their expections on some battlefield/arma2 etc flight mechanics and shit, which is rediculous. If done right helis add same to the gameplay as cars or any other transportation, each having their pros and cons. No one can argue that, so why not??

Exactly and all these need to be taken account for the epic 360 noscope headshots.

Just to be an smartass, even sp games have lag, you have it even now when you moving your mouse or type on your keyboard. But its so minor that you cant notice it. There is lag even when you move your eyes, when the signal must travel through to your muscles.. :P There will be always lag when you process it through hardware and software applications. But to the OP, those can be fixed.. in time.

I DEMAND COMPENSATION!! I BOUGHT CHEAP APLHA ACCCESS NOW IT CHEAPER!! HERP DERP! SCAM!
