We need an official "To the guy @ " sub thread or a stickied thread.

All this is pointless as the FOV slider invalidates any sort of accurate measurement. If the magnification was locked down for everyone regardless of FOV setting then fine this would be useful but its not .

Yup Frostbite and cryengine 3 all do not have the same scale or amount of ai that BI engines have. I would love to see cry engine or frostbite render past a pathetic 800m. I would like to see frostbite render a player out past 4000m.

I rather they removed the stupid spray paint weapon mechanic. It is a perfectly good way to ruin a beautiful looking weapon for no good reason. Cornball game mechanic that is ripped right off COD whats next paint unicorns or mountain dew colored paint ? I mean look at this beautiful model and texture work. Look how good and authentic it looked before. Before they bent the bolt just so they could adopt a silly modern day optic mechanic with 100 year old guns.

If it loses the arma feel it will just be a shitty twitch shooter. The arma feel is the only thing that makes dayz special. Realism + Mil sim = what makes dayz stand out. If they go for a pure arcade zombie game with dayz it will suck compared to the competition. On topic however this news is great. Makes me excited and I think of it as a fresh start for dayz which is good cause Stand Alone was heading towards shit valley, just about every new thing added in standalone has been crappy.

New engine huh. Hope they retain the feeling of the current engine. Meaning vast render distances and huge vistas. Being able to render players at 3000m needs to stay without it dayz isnt dayz. Without dayz feeling like arma its no longer dayz. Well I am hopeful , lets just hope with the new engine dayz just doesnt end up being yet another arcade zombie game.

Due to engine limitations I doubt we will ever get ranging reticles in Dayz. I do find it odd that the LRS seems to be modeled after civilian high end optics such as nightforce or S&B scopes in the 3k + dollar range yet somehow all it has is a duplex reticle. I don't even think any scopes above 300 dollars offer duplex reticles anymore. As far as elevation adjustments I wish they would just drop the range estimating by 100s of meters. Ranging a person at 500m should not be as simple as pressing page up 5 times. Having built in maximum MOA or MRad adjustments onto scopes and then having each weapons, caliber, and muzzle velocity decide what the maximum elevation distance is would be far better. So say you have a LRS on a ruger 1022 if you go all the way to 120 MOA or so your rounds will be hitting at 500m or so. Yet on a .308 rifle your rounds will be out past 1000m.

That should have been implemented from the get go. Kinda silly that they havent just ripped off the band aid and forced 1pp across the board and fixed a huge problem. Rust did it, and the forest even though it is a sp game decided against 3pp because 1pp is so much more immersesive. .

that one ? its a classic. like this one.

Less the survivors look like mall ninjas the better. Soo much tacticool afraid thread my explode.

Right on for finding a work around but for 90 percent of players it would get them talking in game or atleast put players in teamspeak and mumble on the same playing field as non mumble and teamspeak people.

How about they just mirror all communication done via mic in game. Reason most players are quiet in game is due to them using teamspeak or mumble. Mirroring voice coms fixes this.

Forum place to discuss the game with atleast some sort of depth. Reddit place to post idiotic memes and stupidass pictures of shovels + bananas then comment on how you thought it was a mosin from a distance.

Of course not some concessions must be made but some of the crap in Stand alone is above and beyond dumb and make no sense unless they flat out say its placeholder. The fully kitted out Tacticool 100 dollar mosin nagants with bipods that cost more than the rifle and optics that are probably 30-40x more expensive than the gun itself thats one of those silly things.

Bullshit. They read these forums each and every day. They very much care what people post here my guess is the only reason they arent on here more often is because of how venomous we are. Unlike reddit we dont worship the ground Rocket walks on and we give our honest opinion for better or worse. Problem with that is we unfortunately are almost never nice about it me included.

Yea that would be pretty fantastic. Weapon attachments being purely cosmetic not unlike most of the clothing would be a good way to make the game better. Having a hierarchy for objects that do absolutely nothing to improve a weapons effectiveness in real life is kinda stupid in game. Putting on magpul parts of an m4 should only be there to make the mall ninjas love their tacticool rifle more the exact same reason people do so in real life.

Only attachments I would like to see for the mosin are the bayonet and a sling to reduce sway. Even the pu scope is not realistic as it does not have the right model for it. Maybe then we see the proper straight bolt.

Yea and all of those are not vital or interfere with pvp. Why bother hunting when you can just find endless cans of beans to tie you over until you die. Then when you die you can respawn and be fully geared and back to pvp in 20 minutes.

What makes you think you hit the zombie ? for all we know the zombie just despawned or some other janky mess.

I am hoping they remove the m44 compensator and actually include a mosin nagant model 44 carbine instead. Uber huge muzzle flashes, less accurate than the mosin but its a smaller package making it easier to fight inside houses with.

Can you really blame them ? They pvp because it really is the main focus of the game at the moment. The survival elements are pathetic at best they are merely added on to make the pvp better. Survival you can tell was not the main focus of dayz.

600m is well within the range that an m4 could be used in real life. That is using standard crap ammo 55 grain military issued ammo that has been replaced with the far more accurate and better 62 grain stuff. The 77 grain ammo is even better and lets the 5.56 stretch out even further also what he describes as max effective range is the range where he can get consistent hits at. If he had to he could lob those rounds even further even past the range where they go transonic and perhaps get a few hits if he really needed to.

What kind of bootleged survival game is it then ? Everything they add is to add to the pvp. Anyone who thinks otherwise is merely fooling themselves. Crap man even the mod was merely arma 2 + zombies. No survival there. Go play The forest or Rust and see what actual survival games are like. There is nothing in Dayz to suggest survival is even a priority.

Don't kid yourself man. PVP is the main feature or point of dayz anyone suggesting that survival or any other thing will be the main point is only fooling themselves. If you want survival play the Forest or rust, you can tell those are survival games right from the start and it is even more apparent with each and every new feature.

Think you are overlooking it too much. This is a direct result of the lack of spawning loot not that it is ever needed. The new player base in Dayz is made up of casual players the same players that loved the casualization of the Elderscrolls games from Morrowind to skyrim. These new players want to get geared fast and go pvp or do whatever geared players do. so because of this servers are having 1 hour restarts just to appease them. Wish the devs would have just decided right from the begining the game was ment to be tough and hard and there would be no respawning loot or zombies. If this were the case we would not see these 1 hour servers if they set down a common rule set for servers that all vanilla hive servers must run.
