you dead?

Oh hell no, boy. This was one of the biggest immersion breakers in the mod and like others said, it made it completely pointless to move in treelines etc as one would always see your nametag. Having nametags on 10-20m is pointless too because by then you already have voice/direct text chat. Besides, if youre playing with friends youll well be able to remember wtf they look like unless you got the memory of a goldfish. So yeah, no. Just no.

Best Troll Ever I probably had more fun reading the pointless troll discussions than the OP but whatever... Had a good laugh. :D

Same issue here. G35 aswell. Everything is on standard setting except for sound sources. Thats put up to 128. Not running any programs, only the driver for it.

nice

This thread made me lol so hard...

That doesnt actually always help. Friend and me ran around NE AF the other day, were just looting the prison next to the rc tower and the server restarted. Since we remembered which server we were on, we jumped back in mere 30sec after it had restarted when suddenly, as we logged in, 3 other guys(who havent been there before) were just looting the place. xD Most awkward situation Ive had in the alpha so far. But yeah, survived - both of us did. And all 3 of the hoppers died that day. Was a good day. Worst part is, we spawned in next to one of them and he just didnt care about the reload until it was too late for him. Dunno what the fuck he was doing all that time. But I guess these guys will listen for reloads from now on. ^^

The wall glitching needs to be fixed. This is a serious issue. ^^ I found myself in a firefight yesterday, got trapped in the prison building at the NE AF and glitched through the wall into the corridor where some ppl where waiting - just like that, didnt move at all. Survived, just to glitch through a wall in a 2 story house later on and fall out and die with a character thats been 2 weeks old. :/ Was kind of expecting to die soon, but seeing the same glitch twice on the same day, while friends keep getting it every now and then too is just alarming. This should probably get fixed before beta.

Why would you want an AT rifle in this game? Doesnt really make sense, especially if you wont let ppl zero and sight it. lol

Way to go devs, nice. :)

Nice idea. As of now, books are pretty useless. I mean I like that they put the originals like moby dick inside and that they are(afaik) the full books, but srsly there needs to be a practical use for them. This idea would actually make sense. Because as of now I completely ignore books and dont even pay attention as to what book it is. If they could provide useful information I could carry them around and always read them when taking a food break etc, You got my beans, man.

What do you do about steam chat? Or tabbing out, using other chats? Ppl will always find means to communicate outside of the game - the only thing you can do is making it rather inconvenient for them to use, thats all.

Im all for introducing 1st person only. After playing ArmA3 on a really nice 1st person only server for a while I came to love it. Before, I used to hate 1st person. But it makes for very tense and good combat situations. I see 2 problems though, currently. 1. If you got a big backpack and you look back using your numpad, you see nothing but the backpack -> needs to be looked at. 2. First person is useful only when others cant use third person. As much as I love first person, I still use third person at the moment as Id be at a major disadvantage otherwise.

Gotta bind it to a key under settings. Its called "taunt" under "interactions"

You vastly misunderstood or misinterpreted my post/s or didnt read them all(properly). Firstly, if I was to be so attached to my gear as you claim. Would I run around in cherno with friends, just walking(and I mean WALKING) on the streets like badasses just for the sake of it? Would we run around with clear intent to get killed, so we can start over? Would we really search for players to steal blood from in one of the biggest high traffic areas on the map with some pretty nasty sniper spots from the mod and alot of backyards where hostiles can hide in? I think you can answer this one yourself... Secondly, sandbox? Minecraft is a sandbox game where you literally can do whatever the fuck you want, without real restrictions or intentions by the devs or the game or anything. Dayz is a zombie survival game. Sure, there is a certain sandbox aspect about it but that one only goes as far as that you can set your own, personal goals. The ultimate goal of a survival game is always to survive. Which leads me to the next one you clearly misunderstood. I wasnt spending most of my time being a bandit. I was spending most of my time running around in the woods, avoiding high traffic areas and only going to places like the airfields when it was dark. Ran in and out as fast as humanly possible and disappeared in the woods again. A bandit would actively look for ppl to kill or rob. We actively sought to avoid any contact with others cause we knew it would end in someone dying. When we met armed ppl ofc we shot them because with the general KoS mentality of dayz mod we wouldve been dead otherwise. We never ever touched unarmed ppl or new spawns. Simply ignored them or told them to go away and mind their own business cause we didnt trust them as far as to give them gear, since they probably wouldve turned out to rob our camp or shoot us the moment they get that weapon. This is different right now in the SA, FOR NOW. So, a guy camping cherno mall with a dinnerbell when you run in unarmed as a new spawn is bias at work cause I shouldve just starved instead of looking for food? A guy camping the Industrial building/silo in cherno with a sniper, picking off freshly spawned ppl who were just trying to grab a drink in cherno and then run off are bias at work? You clearly either want to misunderstand me or youre one of them and just looking for an excuse man... And Mcroadkill. I dont know. It was just a thought. I cant really think of a proper system that would work, since all of them would require you to be online to actually defend something. And thats where the problems come in. Thats why I said it might not be a good idea afterall, even though it sounds pretty good in my head when I only think about it a little and not too much in detail.
