Shizukage (DayZ)

Sadly, turd person view is a crutch many people have become dependent on, and any suggestion you make to remove or balance it, they instantly attack you to defend their most valuable crutch mechanic. As you can see in Dslyecxi's video about the subject, it murders immersion and also makes the grounds for firefighting unfair as you can see the enemy, but he can't see you because you're sitting behind a wall or a tree depending 100% on your magical floating camera.

Hes not saying to get rid of player killing, his suggestions are to make it a more difficult and hopefully less viable approach to player interaction.

I agree on a lot of your points, Bandits need to be a part of the game, but currently there are far too many of them. If we keep going in this direction without any changes, DayZ won't be a zombie-survival game, it will be a Free for all deathmatch with zombies as a nuisance. If I wanted to play Deathmatch I'd play Counter Strike or Battlefield.

The game struggles to maintain 30 FPS in big cities, yet my CPU is strolling along at 60% load, while my GPU is barely being used at all... the Engine has some severe limitation issues when it comes to how much of your computer it can utilize. MY GPU load rarely exceeds 40%. i7 2600K GTX 780 16GB RAM

ArmA doesn't even use 2GB cards to the max atm, so enabling 3GB+ card support would make no difference, the VR engine is a CPU hog.

Earlier today my character had no colors, so I stuffed my face and drank a bazillion liters and it gradually returned over 40 minutes. So it would seem blood regen workes for me.

More likely to be old soviet camo lying around, than british BDUs liek in the mod.

Beards, because when you see Gandalf come strolling through the woods, you know you're fucked.

Movement is certainly better than A2, however I feel its still very awkward. I've been spoiled by ArmA 3 I guess :)

80 fps in wilderness, 50+ in big towns with everything on max, if I turn everything to min I get 100 fps in cities. I might be lucky with hardware combinations tho. i7 2600k @ 4.2GHz EVGA GTX 780 16GB 1600MHz Kingston Hyper X

1st person only? count me in.

Astonishing how ignorant some people are... You were duely warned and chose to buy it anyway, you can come with constructive critisism, but just bitching about how it sucks is pathetic and useless. 0/10 would not read again.

I haven't fallen unconcious once yet, but my friend has multiple times, the difference? He runs EVERYWHERE while I walk, there might be a bug present, but for now. Less running, more walking. Seems to me like its intended, to prevent people from running everywhere without pause.

Spawned in Kamenka, ran towards the town trying to figure out the controls when I got charged by a crazy bitch trying to fist fight me. She chased me through the whole town until I saw another player up ahead and asked for help over VON, He then pulled out a crowbar and started running towards the crazy bitch, she then turned 180* and ran with a sandwich between her legs. Didn't see her after that. Encountered 13 players so far, 10 were friendly and 2 even helped me. So my faith in humanity has been a little restored ATM I'm armed to the teeth with an M4, so when I meet other players, I approach them with my gun lowered and ask if they need anything, if they try to pull something I just aim my M4 at them and they usually surrender. Haven't killed anyone yet, and hope I never have to.

What happened: When I log into the server just when I spawn I faint and get the hourglass icon which stays there for aprox 5 minutes, then I can get up and move around like normal. Where you were: Multiple locations across the map, but it all started with me logging out next to a car and logged in underneath it in the explained state. What you were doing: Spawning *Current installed version: 1.8.5.4 *Server(s) you were on: Norway 1 *Your system specs: Intel i7 2600K EVGA GTX 580 Corsair Dominator 16GB @ 1600MHz Win7 Ultimate 64-Bit *Timeline of events before/after error: Log out next to car, log back in in hourglass state.

Enjoy.

Auto run already exits, hold W while pressing shift+tab (open steam overlay), once opened you will automatically run forward, you can even press A & D to strafe sideways. This will only work if you launch DayZ via Steam tho.

I'd take the Silenced M4 over that monstrosity of a cannon any day, the rifle is simply too big and just becomes a burden.

Looks to me like De-sync saved you, took him a full second after u exited until he fired, and he didn't adjust his aim to u walking around him. I'd say u got lucky and De-sync was your ally in this firefight. Good vid!

Currently equipped with M4A1 CCO SD M9SD GPS Coyote Backpack (24) In my tent I currently have: M16A2 M16A2 M203 M16A4 ACOG x2 M249 SAW M4A1 M4A3 CCO MP5SD CZ 550 Thats about it. still haven't died yet :3

I'm currently using my M4A1 CCO SD and love it, its amazing to be able to pick out 1 zombie and not have the rest of the town pull as well as the fact that players can't hear you either. I carry an M16A4 ACOG in my backpack for longer range engagements, as the range on the M4 is not impressive. Thankfully I have so far found 2 ammo boxes with STANAG mags, so ammo is not a problem, yet :P

My character has now been alive for 7 Real life days which usually consist of 6-10 hours of playing, I don't have exact hour count for my survival time, but I'm over 50 hours alive in-game and still going strong. Zombies in towns become a joke when u get a Silenced M4 ;P

I completely agree to OP, my gaming history started with Battlefield 2 and after finding the Project Reality mod for it I was completely hooked. I heard of ArmA before, but it never really interested me as I had exactly what I wanted in BF2: PR, then I read about DayZ on RockPaperShotgun and decided with a couple of friends to buy ArmA and try it out. And oh my god, this game is the most intense and amazing gaming experience I've ever had. I purchased ArmA 5 days ago and already have over 70 hours in-game on Steam and all that is thanks to DayZ, I have to say this has to be the most amazing mod ever created simply because of its simplicity. There is no real objective other than surviving yet players create their own goals and its astonishing watching how the world plays out and players creating their own communities and factions. Rocket, you have created a incredibly fantastic mod here, its heaps more enjoyable even in its alpha stage than almost all tripple-A games out there. And I hope you will keep working on it, don't let the whiny (for lack of better wording) CoD-XboxLive kiddies put you down with their endless stream of QQ.

Honestly I believe the temperature system should be there, but only when you are in contact with water (rain, swimming ect.) having temp decrease on a sunny day is a bit over the top. In real life the body uses food as fuel to heat your body, I think this could be a welcome addition, if you're well fed your temp won't decrease. And considering what our survivor is wearing I honestly can't believe he is freezing during mid day. The way the temp system is now, the game honestly is not fun anymore. I can't move anywhere in the rain as I'dd instantly get sick and I spend most of my in-game time camping inside a building waiting for my temp to increase so I can run 200meters to do the same thing over again. The water/food system is awesome and creates the need to move around, but this is almost made impossible with the way the temp system is currently. As a last note, you can crawl into tents, would be awesome if you could escape temp loss from rain and night, if u was inside one.

Game purchase only (Unless the servers were owned by the creators I would not pay monthly.) Studio Developed Kickstarter is always worth a try.
