Well the developers of the mod work quite tirelessly and have added a lot of improvements since the early days. Just wait for the next patch 1.7.8(?) for some amazing work. I believe the zombies walking through walls is an Arma issue and as such can't be completely fixed by the devs. But work goes on.

The argument "if you don't like it, don't do it" is a very simple response. I don't particularly care about paying tax but i don't really have much choice. Why don't you like 1st person? Would you really not purchase the SA if it were 1st person only (i am sure it won't be btw)? No one is trying to tell anyone how to play, but this video just tries to explain how 3rd person destroys realism, immersion and along with that, the tension that made DayZ in particular so great.

He did beat me by 3 minutes though!!

One thing i miss about 1st person only is that you can actually frigging hide from someone behind a wall.

There is indeed.

I utilise the 3rd person exploits also, i am sure everyone here does or has. You cannot really compete with another player if one is 1st only and the other is utilising 3rd. As far as i can see the only reason 3rd is good is for checking out your character. Other than that i would love to see it gone but you may be right - it could effect the player count. I think what is needed, and Dslyecxi has said this himself, is players need to understand the differences and how much more immersive and interesting 1st person makes Arma and DayZ. It is fine to check out your gear, but afterwards slip back into 1st and stay there. But then again, if there is an option to quickly peer over a wall how many of us would resist the temptation?

I think a lot of us play along with 3rd person because the vast majority of populated servers are 3rd enabled. If you don't use it you put yourself at a massive disadvantage. If 3rd person was totally disabled for the SA would players be turned away or would they persevere and play on? Is 3rd person only good for being able to check out what clothes you are wearing and how bad ass your weapon looks?

That screenshot of Stary looked like a real photo at first. Had to do a double take.

Ahem! Back on topic please. Yep i agree if bandits were more into robbing than Kos it would make the game much more fun for all.

Tbh the only NPC's i wouldn't mind seeing are dead ones. Dead farmers in the barns, dead people in houses, a dead church congregation etc

It was first person only though so kudos to them for that.

I do think seeing the same old names is going to get a bit tiresome. I understand qualifying would take time but i'd like to see more other folk get in the final instead of the same streamers - or at least get a few different streamers. And get the Rocket and Matt duo in there as well.

Well guys i gave it a good run tonight. I have never tried Epoch so the differences were all new to me. Low pop atm but hopefully word gets around and the numbers increase. AI bandits are even bigger pussies than human bandits though.

Yep Team Summit first Team 5hizzle second Team Rezt third

Hmmm might give it a bash

Hatchet to head of zombie. "Fuck that hurts!"

Hatchet, Enfield and AKM. If i have all three i am unstoppable....sort of.

So can somebody who knows tell me - if you get shot but it isn't fatal what is the procedure? Do you have to dig the bullet out? Take antibiotics? What must you do? For gameplay simplicity i am not suggesting you need to rest in bed for a week but surely any bullet wound is life threatening without proper treatment right?

Somewhere different. It would have to be a large island so we don't get any BS boundaries. Altis.

And you called Rocket an Aussie - permaban?

I thought the word "bambi" was banned? Well it should be.

In Standalone i believe there will be three difficulty modes: Easy/Pussy mode = kill on sight Hardcore/Survivor mode = try to survive and shoot only only when necessary. Hardcore/Bandit mode = try to survive, robbing people, shooting when required. :P

Very nice. I have hanging to use a proper crossbow for so long..

Oh no you dont!!! Let's not turn this into a Frankie hack discussion again.
