Hmmm 6 way SLI is not a thing yet.... at least it's not supported by GPUS, no you can't put 6 660s in sli, plus tbh it's would be better to buy more expensive better performing gpus than buyn 6 lower end gpus, plus the performance gain is only significant from 1 gpu to 2 way sli, after that is would be like 5 fps or something

I don't think that would be a problem, just put a light source in the vest and the engine should do the rest

Well if it's for the sake of disorientation it could also just tell you if it's empty or not, but I do think the low/med/high is better

I kinda like the idea, but I also agree with chabowski, maybe like you can only group spawn the first time you join the server only, that way you start your journey disoriented, but with your friends, and then if you all die, then you can't group spawn again or something like that

Well the title says it all pretty much, but what would you guys think about having a building system like the one in the epoch mod?

Yeah I know that but rocket's only said stuff about intance underground building

I kinda like this suggestion, but maybe instead of having a number it would be like "low/mid/high amount of player" because I do like the fact that you would need to keep your guard up

I thought they were adding radios

People saying that the SA willl get boring quickly are wrong, it might get boring after the official release, when it's basically complete, but during the alpha it won't because stuff will be added regularly, keeping it alive, and if they add in construction at some point, there's a lot of interesting stuff that could be done in game, keeping DayZ alive for more time, but I do think that they should stay adding stuff in even after the official release, and they should allow custom made maps, maybe not mods, but if they allow some kind of user made content, like maybe client side mods like texture packs and stuff like that, that won't change the experience, but can change the look and feel of say a car, or a heli,it would stay alive for even more time

You got a point, but the problem is that people are not really debating of giving any actually valid arguments, because they've been saying the same thing since page 1

Man, this thread could be reduced to 2 pages because all the arguments for both sides have been repeated a million and five times, I think it's time to stop arguing about it, rocket already said that 3rd will be changed to a more over the shoulder style camera so calm all of your tits down

The problem with banditry nowadays is that the concept is all over the place, it was cool being a bandit when they stole from people and took hostages and stuff, they didn't really kill, they took from you and left you with broken legs in the middle of the forest. But now because of the pussies that alt+f4 everytime the get in trouble the bandits have been forced to just kill and sometimes get taken as "kos asshats"

I'm thinking it's eventually going to get removed, because it's will end up being a FPV with a head in the middle of the scree blocking everything, people probably will only use it to check out their new infested, broken shirt the took from the guy they just killed

I think it should be time for people to stop this discussion, rocket said in the last devblog that 3rd person will be a more over the should type of camera, so it won't be so exploitable, so yeah.... everybody stop degrading yourselves by repeating the same arguments for 100 pages!

I'm kinda sitting on the fence, I would prefer that 3rd goes away but at the same time I realize that it's not and that people will still exploit it in the SA and if they remove the exploitablity, people won't use it anyways or it won't make any difference so I don't care anymore

Ok... I haven't checked this thread in 2 days, so anybody wanna catch me up? I doubt anything has happened everybody's used the same argument since the beginning... the 3rd person defenders say it's better for a bunch of useless reasons and the 1st person defenders say 1st is better for the immersion and lack of exploitability

The first one, would basically be impossible, or at least it would delay the game a few years, that is considering the engine allows it, and yeah the second one doesn't really fit the game

Hold on, when did I or anybody else here forced somebody to play on 1st person? We are giving arguments about why we think 1st person only is the way to go to get exactly what rocket planned since the beginning, I don't think any of us hacked into every server and disabled 3rds person did we? We are giving valid points, not forcing anybody to do something.

Then I'm afraid DayZ is not the game for you.... That's pretty much the whole point of the game

Well, I don't have the resources to host a server in my house, nor do I have extra money to pay for one, the problem is not that there isn't a lot of 1st person only, because I only need one to play, but the problem is that since there's not a lot of servers, at least for me, it's impossible to find a populated one with good ping, and don't come out saying that it doesn't need to be populated, because how boring it is to be alone in a 200 sq kilometers world? And no, we are not being selfish, we are trying to convince people to play the way Rocket intended, yes, at first there were only 1st person servers, then people found out that it was easier and less intense to play in 3rd, and trust me, you only think it's less enjoyable because you haven't tried it yet.

And he intended a hardcore, survival experience, he once told the story about how he got inspiration for DayZ, and that he intended DayZ to make playeres feel the way he felt on his experience (or something on those lines)..... So yeah..... I think the point of the so called "Hardcore elitists" or whatever you want to call them is valid

It's not that you get less frames on first person, if anything you would get less on 3rd because you have 1 more entity to calculate and render, but it has more to do with that the lower frames are more noticeable in first person, and when you have lower frames it's harder to move if you get extremely low frames, but there we would be talking 10 or lower

Yeah but remember that the SA is going to be much more optimized and that the mod is rather choppy, so I think that anybody with a decent rig is going to be able to push 30+ fps I know that is not the same and that's why I support your idea of the TPV on rest

The problem is that their side of the argument is always "I hate the head bobbing in FPV" that can be turned off, "I want to check out my player" which is useless because we now have a player model in the inventory, or some stuff that you have in TPV that is "better" than FPV even tho you have the same thing in FPV

I think having that would be kinda cool
