Not really, you can only write on labels that can be put on objects like syringes or other things. You can't write on guns/vehicles. sadly.

About that, how the hell do they put so many vehicles in the game? And yeah, in Fallout there are no cars at all after the war. It should be more like that!

Tons of 3rd person view servers doesn't mean it's the right way. There are tons of 300+ vehicles, auto refuel, starter kit etc. but that doesn't mean DayZ should be like that. So _Anubis_ please stop there are already enough of trolls like you in the thread. It's better to pretend that there never was 3rd person view in Arma. Let's now think how we can provide 3rd person view in the game so it isn't exploitable. /By the sound of couple Gamescom interview Rocket doesn't want to get rid off completely of 3rd person view.

So let me get this straight. You are worried about SA because: 1) It has better graphics 2) Matt, a person you know nothing about doesn't appear to have logged as many hours as you 3) You don't want a SA you want a polished mod 4) Green/Red text annoys you but not green/red icons 5) Vehicles won't be in the initial alpha release (ok i'll give you this one as some people will be disappointed in this) 6) You have to realistically fill an empty mag with bullets rather than it magically filling up on its own 7) Zombies jump 8) You don't want blood types as it is too complicated These reasons look a bit silly don't they?

It's pre alpha, game will be released in alpha its been in development for not eve two years with a small team. Most of what is happening now Is in the light of future additions. Eg so any things being completely reworked like vehicles, inventory, crafting. It isn't what you see, but what the devs can see in the foundations of a great game. Nobody said you have to buy it if it doesn't impress you, if you like the mod it will always still be going. But I tell you it isn't even alpha yet, have some patience man!

Im fine with waiting longer for the standalone it will mean we get a better game, but I want to get some things off my chest. Like many many players I have over 1000 hours logged on DayZ, probaly more like 1500 hours (over 40 days played). I have been watching the gameplay builds over the last few months of the standalone builds at the various game conventions. And I have to say that instead of getting more and more excited with every new video of these, I am getting more and more upset and confused. This is the most recnt video from gamecom that made me want to post here My concerns: - We have been waiting since end of last year for this standalone. This is fine if we are going to get what we want, I have no problem waiting for a better polished game. Nothing I have seen has really impressed me. Yes it may look a little better graphics wise but thats to be expexted. - My biggest concern is this,,,, I feel you have people developing and trying to sell the idea of the standalone who are not serious dayz players. One example of this is Matt. How much game time does Matt have played? And I don't mean playtime that involves game testing or developing, I mean actual game time. - I just want an updated better polished game than what we have now on the mod, there is not much that needed changed. I feel like your trying to add all these new things when infact you should be just releasing a better version of the mod and then worrying about what to add and change. - Big Point Now..... The Hud. The DayZ Hud is what makes DayZ the game it is. I don't want spammed with text telling me Im hungry, thirsty, sore etc etc. This is one big thing that has annoyed me a lot. I do not want the Hud removed. With the normal green hud removed it won't feel like DayZ to me. Get rid of the text messages, give us the hud we have come to love, just improve it maybe like dayzero has done and give us a percentage or something on blood. - Am I right in saying we are going to get a game on release with no drivable vehicles? Instead you are too busy working on all this other superfical stuff that many of us do not really care for or need instead of bringing us a better polished version of the mod on release. - Emptying bullets from cases and then having to add them to your mag..... really? - Zombies leaping at you..... From earlier videos this is horrible also, all you had to do was sort the AI path out. Its getting to arcade like. - I do like the first aid kit idea so that one positive, but I do not like the whole blood thing. Then you went into the whole blood type crap. Your making a game we love even more complicated than it is already. - The reason I have over 40 days played is the intense feeling dayz gives us. The music, the zombies the fear of gearing up for a few hours and that it could all be un done easily. You should be making zombies more terrifying and giving us a polished version of the mod, not a version of the mod that has went arcade/minecraft I will stop now, I just feel we are waiting and waiting and waiting and you guys are going down the wrong path right now. We want the standalone of the mod we love, not a completly new game. Some of you may agree or disagree, thats fine. These are just my opinions Your trying to mass market it for new players and its getting too lame Regards

The thing is, no third person player would be making this argument. I completely understand that people who want an 'real' perspective of the world, where they can not have information their character could not whilst in first person. The thing is, if you enjoy playing third person games it simply ins't your primary concern. No more so then if you use outside systems to converse with you team mates you will have information your character couldn't. I'd much rather people didn't use skype / teamspeak etc, because It would be great to hear other teams talking in game, I don't however think that it would make the game overall more enjoyable for a lot of people. The fact the guy in the second screen can see me doesn't bother me at all, its just part of the game. Various components of a game add up to hopefully something fun. Some systems add fun and detract in another way and this what making games is all about balancing the feel of the game you want to go for against the entertainment value you believe your delivering. Any argument that third person players have abilities inherit in a third person camera is merely pointing out the obvious. I don't believe anyone is suggesting 3rd person is more authentic; just lots of people seem to find it fun; that there's more to gaming that being 100% authentic. I appreciate that a poll has been made but I am reasonably suspect to if this forum constitutes an average set of 'Dayz' players. That said, looking at PlayWithSix I'm not sure I want to use the top servers as an example. Does anyone know of a FPS only, loads of guns, vehicles and all that jazz server? I suspect though both un-modded and modded have greater popularity in third person; even if this is not the case on the sample of forum users.

I think it would be neat if there was a fire extinguisher in DayZ SA. Stats Type: tool Spawn Locations: hospitals, hangars, air traffic control towers, and fire stations Rarity: moderately rare Uses: Vehicles can catch on fire if sufficient damage is taken. The fire extinguisher would be used to extinguish the flames. If an engine is damaged in a helicopter, for example, a fire would break out. If the fire is not extinguished in time, the engine is destroyed and the vehicle becomes inoperable. What do you think?

Now the difficulty here when posting on the forums is that our communication cannot take on the intended inflection, body language and the myriad of minute idiosyncrasies that allow us to make our intention known other than through vocabulary, so I wish to make it perfectly clear that I respect the POV of team 1st person, I do, I get it. I also agree that the 3rd person view needs tweaking, I enjoy 3rd person and use it about a 3rd (of course) of the time I’m in the game, and I do agree that the ability to look around corners is, well, quite frankly bullshit. But with that said in FP there is no ability to extend your head above the grass when prone, lift yourself up to peer over a wall and getting stuck in a doorway or bush pretty much launches the player right out of “immersion” pretty damn quick! I also feel there’s a restricted field of view in FP…if there’s a way to correct this by all means let me know. Since this thread first began I’ve been trying to play in first as long as possible to well, walk in the other person’s shoes and as of this posting I still enjoy a blend of both view points and believe both perspective need work in order to make this game as address the above mentioned doorways, and bushes as well as some of it’s obvious flaws while in control of vehicles as well as when the player decides to run a marathon from coast to NWAF. Third person I believe is solved by lowering the camera to say 10 to 12 inches behind and just above the character’s head curing some of the FP limitations while removing the X-ray or sight bending abilities that are currently a PITA for PvP play. Just my opinion, not judging your opinions, after all they are just that, yours. You may proceed to pick my post apart…I’m fine with that as well. Oh, one more thing..Dsi1, to be clear, I do not believe I have ever used the “vanity” defense as a reason for keeping 3rd person, yet you’ve grouped me with that crowd. Pease note that I am fine with how I look and while vain in this world I do not care in DayZ Peace

3rd person adds many advantages than 1st person and they're all pointed out in Dslyecxi's vid. Whether you want to believe it or not, seeing around corners and whatnot should not be part of 3rd person if they can do it. I'm not against 3rd person view but it needs a complete overhaul and if they can't fix the way it is in the Mod for the SA then it needs to be removed. The reasoning that some give that they want to see their character and how they look, well you can see that in the gear UI in the SA. People have gotten to used to the 3rd person view; and as creatures of habit; change doesn't go over too well with most. Regardless, the advantages of 3rd person need to be rectified. In saying that, first person needs some fixing too... Riding in some vehicles; the ATV for example; makes the view jump around so much that it can make you sick and is not very pleasant.

I refuse to give you any more beans, but keep putting up the good fight. I think you're hitting the nail right on the fucking head here. Prior to the numerous mods that were released, vanilla DayZ was far more interesting and populated. The problem is that the game can't progress any further with mods. The features that simply must be implemented, the ones that need to work properly - they have to be designed and programmed at a source code level. I think it would be nice to see the dev team offer some kind of route to "official mod" status, for certain developers. It would be nice to see 3rd party content that could be screened and incorporated into the official game. Like Namalsk, for example. I really like that map, and I'd like to see it in the Standalone. Kind of how the mod team was implementing community made assets recently. I do like map - and even some gameplay - diversity, but I don't like that servers can just "give out" loot, vehicles, weapons, ect. It's a shortcut. Might as well just make a "custom server" on L4D that gives you infinite ammo and godmode. It would be fucking easy and boring - a.k.a not a game. You might as well play monopoly and just print off money for everyone so nobody loses. It's just ridiculous. So really I think the question here is how do we get a middle ground? How can we allow community made assets (which can be extremely refreshing and can extend the lifetime of a game) without sacrificing the gameplay that actually defines DayZ as it's own game. Basically, we need to be able to mod DayZ without breaking it's fundamental rules.

what do you guys think of the scrip that allows players to take parts from vehicles?

More vehicles. Not 1000+ vehicles. It should be a fair amount. People need to remember that in real life there would be working cars everywhere. A car not driving for a couple of years would still be in driving condition. Around 200 cars would be great for the whole map.

All I want from a server would be high difficulty. Having more loot, vehicles, buildings etc. custom crap would not fit in there and would ruin the experience.

Because it's implied that Chernarus received foreign support. Also, the UH-1H and HMMWV were (and continue to be) heavily exported, so it's not exactly impossible for Chernarus to have them. I don't get why people assume that Post-Warsaw Pact countries only use Russian cold war shit, because they don't. Chernarus is based off of the Czech Republic (for the most part), and the CR utilizes many different NATO/Former USSR weaponry and vehicles as well as makes a fuck ton of their own.

1. Yes, the majority have 3rd person turned on. Yes the majority of the players play on those servers. That doesn't mean it is the best option for DayZ going forward. The majority of the people in the world live in China but that doesn't mean we should all learn to speak Chinese and adopt their culture. What happens is that we go where the people are and where our friends are. I have friends that don't mind 1st person at all, but find 3rd easier and sometimes just want to go the easy route. They would not complain (much or for long) if 3rd person was removed but since it is available they take the path of least resistance. Even they admitted in a discussion not long ago that the game is different in 1st person. When I asked why I shouldn't switch my server over to forced 1st the main reason they gave me was that it was a bit more difficult to drive vehicles and that the other servers have 3rd on and since we sometimes hop over to other servers we might as well be used to it. Basically once you give 3rd person as an option to use everyone does because it makes the game simpler and gives tactical advantages. That means there is no, "Why can't we allow both?" because one excludes the other when both are available. 2. You stepped awfully close to Godwin's Law there. Yeah, I might cut our your style of play to get my own but that is because your style of play ALREADY excludes my preferred style. Yes the mass of people who can't handle it want to play 3rd person, but only because it is the easy route. The conception of DayZ was never "easy route", not from the first days. I didn't play back during the early releases but I watched the videos and they were great, especially the ones on servers that only had 1st person. Now if you want numbers of players then you go to the 3rd person servers or turn yours into 3rd person so that "easy mode" is on and people will come. 3. Check out this debate as it concerns Mechwarrior Online. Previous Mechwarrior games had 3rd person but WMO does not. Devs stuck to their guns and the game is better for it. Trust me, all the reasons given in this thread came up and were dismissed because they really don't have merit when dealing with this sort of game. It is, "P.S. I'll be over on the daylight server." and I'll be feeling bad that you won't be able to experience how good Day Z can be. Then again the only person you are cheating out of a good experience is yourself.

They could always design completely new assets; why should they use old Arma 2 vehicles. How about adding a civilian ambulance.

best suggestion I've seen is this you only ever see players, zeds, loot, vehicles etc that are within your characters First person FOV, whether in 3rd or first person. This way it enables Third person guys to check their surroundings, see how well hidden their character is and how pretty he looks when he runs through a forest. But he has no advantage at all over other players.

I think this is a perfect opportunity for the devs to think hard about it and make the decision. Vehicles are being redesigned from scratch, animations and character movement/stances is a work in progress. If they just design those with 1st person view only in mind, nearly every complaint and issue is solved right there. FOV slider is already in the game and we can see our character in 3D in the inventory screen too. A much better solution than implementing a complex, context sensitive restricted 3rd person view that is never going to be perfect anyway.

Yeah it is funny how footage comes out straight away by some streamers if they do well and none at all if they die early. Btw i think they should remove all vehicles apart from perhaps bikes.
