Same reason why helicopters should never make it into dayz either.

Theres an fov slider now crank up the fov while in first person and your awareness will reach the same level as third person view but you can no longer see around corners.

Accuracy is perfectly fine. If anything it makes the game better people are actually having firefights now that last longer than 2 seconds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqAptJYra3g

Ace's dispersion was perfect imo. combined with wind it made the gameplay far more challenging and rewarding.

Third person views removal will not increase or decrease kos at all it will remain the same people who kos all time will continue to do so. Only difference is now that other player or yourself cant cheat by peeking around corners before actually committing the shot.

I dont think dayz every claimed to be a simulation therefore these new changes are welcomed by me. What I am getting from this is that you need a weapon with all of its parts and in good condition to be able to hit anything at extended ranges ? If so its good.

Mics always on with no option to turn it off works. Broadcasts your voice in game and it would more intuitive also making communication with other players seemless.

Absolutely if something has to be removed in order to make the game better then it needs to be done even if some people do not like it.

Yup vast majority of players would just adapt to the lack of tpv. Eventually everyone will just look back and reflect on how broken tpv was and how it was terrible because it let you see over cover and obstacles.

Yea only solution would be to have the players character die when he disconnects in combat.

But alas 1st person is fixed now. FOV slider and option to remove or reduce head bob lets you custom tweak your fov to reach third person view level of vision without cheating and being able to see around corners. Now there really is no excuse for tpv.

See thats the thing its not about liking something or not. This is what you people do not understand. It is about improving the game by evening the playing field and not giving anyone anyone any gamebreaking advantages. The fact that there has been so much division on this subject lets us know 1 thing immediately being able to see around cover without exposing yourself is a problem. There is no debating this, being able to peek around and over cover while fully invisible to players is a huge problem. There are 2 solutions to this A. Remove third person view. B. Fix third person view. A would be the easy option that would immediately fix the game and not have any negative effects. B. Would be a daam near impossibility. So the solution to this great dilema is simple remove third person view.

Fantastic idea so long as there are more options when it comes to ammo. Would be nice to extract zombie blood and then load a tranq dart with such blood and give players infections.

This is essentially why it needs to be removed. People proposing the removal of tpv have no qualms with seeing your character or others enjoyment of doing such things. Their problems arise from being able to gain an unfair advantage over players with no risk to yourself while in third person view. Third person view exploits are right up there with combat logging, glitchy zombies, server hopping, when it comes to important problems that need fixing.

I have one and frankly its terrible. It has no ranging reticle, its variable zoom and worst of all it seems to not be aligned with the point of impact it fires slightly to the left of where the optics are aligned. Rocket and company really need to look into the importance of ranging reticles and second focal plane optics.

Lack of zombies is awesome. They are just janky things that add absolutely nothing to the game.

You are if you are using it to peek around corner and see what you should not be able to see. This is especially important in dayz due to its sim background and permadeath system.

Not everyone would be happy since the exploit would still be in the game.

Sense is that it removes seeing around objects and improves the gunplay tenfold.

Funny thing about the mosins however is the older mosins are better than the newer ones. Before the war the mosins were built better during the war they were rushed and poorly made in order to get them out into service. Even those war time mosins are good rifles however.

This would be a non issue since there would be no softcore servers if they remove tpv. There would be no disagreement over playing on a tpv server or not there would only be fpv servers.

Separates them where ? they all are forced to play on the same type of servers so you merge everyone together. You cant split the player base if everyone is forced into first person servers since tpv do not exist.

Of course the gun will fire I bet the accuracy of the gun is alot worse than if the barrel was clean. This most apparent with precision rifles even minor fouling can make the rifle loose a huge amount of accuracy.

Removing third person view would not split the fan base. Everyone would be on fpv servers since tpv servers would not exist.

Woa did I just stumble into another dimension ? people actually suggesting good weapons that make sense ? These would be the perfect weapons for the top of the line military loot Still want to see far more civilian weapons though. Also ww2 guns would not make sense.
