We have found 2 l85 from heli within a few days of playing, even if they stay the nerf is needed. -Sure it doesnt see through bush or trees, but its even if.. lets say I am behind a tree or a bush other side of the valley 800m, you scan it from the other side.. it is still easy to spot when you glow like shit behind the tree or of a side/behind the bush. I think you are just so keen to your thermal that you dont want it taken away or nerfed, because you loose your superiority and wont "survive". I dont mind if it stays but make it more authentic. 1. Make weather/air temp affect it (rain, day/sun, night etc) 2. Have counter measure for peopple, like the gilly makes your signature smaller etc. That you really have to USE the thing and look, not only pop it up for 1 second and it gives almost the cordinates for you. There are differend types of these in RL, Only tried one tho in the army, it was quite loud with a fan. Maybe this could be implemented to the game also, few kinds of thermals.. 3. civilian grade that are more silent but effective range is not huge. Military grade that has more range but is much louder(cooling fan). Tarbs that that can be thrown over vehicle to make layer of air between, which makes them less visible and so on. - There are plenty of other items that help you surviving, it shouldnt be that easy as it is with the thermal atm... if your group has l85 you are almost invincible when you see and snipe ppl from 800m away easy. Surviving should be most about playstyle and thinking, not all about gear you got on.. its only small part that makes it "easyer". Wanna have full bodyarmor that zombies and bullets cannot penetrate, its makes surviving easyer yes?

If you died to a sniper, you did something wrong... simple.

If you would read rockets interviews this is on his list on standalone at some point. And he is going to open this mod up for ppl that they can do what they want with it, includes new maps like lingor which is user made map.

Awesome post from OP! Im far from good marksman, and I would really get into it like that... there would be far more less to casual cod/bf "snipers" and there would be real skill.. and maybe it woudnt be skill that ppl would cry so much about.. or they would cry just more cuz they coudnt handle it. @Securion Rifle damage should be close to RL specs, nothing less or more. And the scope clint what is in bf3 is rediculous, a damn flashlight! I dont know for sure, but I think there is (I bet civil versions too?) somesort of filter to block the scope clint or at least as an attachment for "military" grade rifles? Not good suggestions from you, sry

Was there some problems yesterday too, Couldnt get on many servers and tents+vehicles did not appear after got in?

When I started playing whis that never happened, now after latest patch is started... I think this is the thing what rocket said that was for "lulz". There are few differend thing that I have heard them saying :D

Headlamp: Why not.. NVG: extreme rare with battery, so rare that you would pee your pants from joy of finding one. Thermal: Huge nerf(detect thermalsigns from 0m-> and start fading darker with distance) EX: bright "yellow" at 0m and gets darker further you go, max range to detect around 500m(extremely dark figure) and uses rare battery. So rare that you would shit and pee your pants from joy and excitement when you find one. Thermal is brainless gadget atm, you can see a damn rabbit from 1000m away like miniature sun. And makes enviroment useless, like blending with gilly... NVG:s are OK, you loose fov when you use them and they dont make object glow out from the surroundings. Rare so they are luxury..

yep, have been on the table many times. No need for conditions, just plain simple timer after clicking "disconnect/quit", if you move your char timer stops and has to be started again. And if you client stops responding to the server for time (alt+f4) char stays ingame for 30 second.

Rocket have said in the interview that this will(maybe)be implemented to standalone. with this the 30second logout timer would make game much better when reducing serverhopping, altf4, ghosting..

Check from your PSU what are the current rating for +12V lines, those are the most important. I bet you have no problem running those cards with 550w psu. Im running 6950 with 500w psu easy (36A@12V). Consumption from mains is around 400W at full load(cpu,gpu), and it wont be under full load when gaming.

Loot wont spawn when coming near with vehicle, only zeds will spawn when you get out. wont spawn if you spawn inside the loot area. Loots spawns when you come on foot, zeds spawn around 190m of you, loot little less.. around 160m. Sometimes servers get bugged and loot doesnt spawn in certain places, mostly markets that I have seen.

HD 6950/6970 or gtx 560/570 ? There must be error in your ram speed statement, sound very low for ddr3? 666mhz = 1600mhz? If not I would seek for faster ram too, may require new motherboard.. after googling looks like your max ram speed is hair over 1000mhz.. with present mobo. Other than that you are fine.

arma2free + OA from steam, 15€... then here are the directions to dayz installation and necessary updates (http://kodabar.blogspot.dk/2012/05/how-to-install-dayz-with-arma-2-free.html). Worth the money. Legitly cant get cheaper than that..

I can confirm 3, dunno what is the max number. (found these yesterday) I do know that there is way too much of crash sites, alteast way too good loot %. Maybe more medical+trash/regular spawns and much less speacial ammo and weapon..

Have died while you have had this problem? For some ppl dying fixes if, tough the bug always can come back at some point. Try it with your friend die and go back for you gear.

Does it matter if they were kittens, when their AI and stuff are so useless atm... doesnt matter what they look like. Just wait for the standalone and harder zombies. ps. agreen to one above.

You are mistaken, its about survival... zombies are just part of is as are the bad guys. And the whole suggestion is retarted... not for this game never going to happen, thank god. You have not clearly understood the idea of this game.

500m is "easy" even with FN FALLs iron sight.. http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=14616 There you go, practice as much as you like... easy.

All servers that I have been on saves vehicle position just fine, the stuff inside wont get saved what ever you try to do. It will just spawn last location you left it with default gear inside and default spawn state. atv/mb at full healt, cars broken as they would be in regular spawn point. Heli spawns back to island always and will be fully broken.

" WE " will? And you need someone stranger to bandage you up? sound fishy :D

Total miss, there was just crappy ass pilot.

First thing, you are saying you did not complain about money. Let me quote you here: Here would be again time for the pulp fiction video... I have never talked about YOU directly, I talked about peopple in general that pitch about the pricing. *sight* Its your own decision if you want to play/pay it or not, its developers right to have income from their product, and the 10-25€/£/$ is not lots of money and if someone cant pay that then it is their own problem. Dont take it personally and start calling ppl fat nerds, that is the immature thing?? Its not about you and you dont have to get mad about it. Only thing that I understood from your post was that you got somehow angry for no reason? I understand that english isnt your native language so missunderstandings may occur, it is not mine neighter and I read posts few times to understand them best as I can..

Good idea! Also different spawn could have few types of spawn like: Woodland1: crossbow+ 1bolt (its reusable..), canteen empty, food can woodland2: map, knife, axe, canteen full woodland3: crossbow no ammo, knife, matches Make those so that you still have to start seeking for something, maybe all spawn should haves some kind of key item woodland: map? knife? axe? (moderate spawn) Beach: compass? map? (moderate spawn) Residential: food? painkillers? pandage? (common spawn) Military: "good" weapon, little to no ammo. (rare spawn) Or something, I would be ok with the OP suggestion.. just remove the GPS :)

Just change it to "burn body" If you have matches just light it on fire and it will burn to ashes and disapear... sounds realistic to me. Everything shoud burn unusable state.

38 blood.. got raped by and hacker and spawned with 1200 blood if I remember correctly, bleeding at the beach. Checked to cordinates and logged out to wait a friend to tape me up. I gave him directions where Im at, when he was there logged in he saw me spawn and ran to me, started bandaging and bleeding stopped at 38 :D Fast transfusion and back again... that was so close. Another one was around 1000 blood alone, got knocked out by zeds in a barn... round 2000 blood got up and managed to kill those with a axe, patched my self up so stopped around 1000 blood, grawled out from the barn. Couldnt see shit, no friends and continously passing out.. trying to find a field to get some meat, after 30+minutes of passing out and runnin around I found field with a goat.. tried to swing it with an axe, near miss and passout at the same time... now had to start seeking the damn goat again cuz it didnt wait there me to get up... well I got it down next time and survived.
