DayZ Standalone Discussion

[St. Jimmy 1631]

Care to elaborate? Something I said is not true?

You're a mod, you're being paid to lick Rocket's ass i get it, but you cant argue with facts - sorry.

Also in case you wonder, yes it's me - k3lt.

l2 ban properly.

Where's the ignore or hide button goddammit!

MMO means massive multiplayer online and has nothing to do with whether it's FPS or TPS or both.

FYI you can get rid of the head bobbing in game settings.

Seeing your character and getting unrealistic viewing angel during battle have to reach a middle ground. Many suggestions have been made in the suggestions section so I'm not gonna elaborate here.

just saying that most mmo's have 3rd person. i just like the puppeteer feel. I feel too restricted in FP. Gives me a feeling of closterfobia.

3rd person is for people that like having an unfair advantage over people who also have an unfair advantage. 3rd person is complete bs when you can see 6 feet above your characters head.

stay on topic ladies and gents

[Ovation 52]

It's just amazing how many people say their opinions, with maybe 2 sentences of reading into a game.

then call there opinions "facts"

And even go to a forum to promote there idea as though nobody before them has had such a genies opinion.

well done kiddies on the internet, you will forever comment on forums with no knowledge of anything until the end of time.

when you are older, hopefully you will cringe at the arguments you got into, because you also will have to deal with the next generation of internet smart kids.

"On Topic"

How would you imagine different Shoes benefits?

stat based? material based? weight based? things like that

in the sense of realism i cannot see 6 feet above myself, this is just a game and to each their own. if people think its an unfair advantage then play third person. if you don't like it like the minority of people, http://dayzmod.com/f...e-3rd-person/ , don't use it. play on servers that have that option disabled. both views are great for certain people. so just let bygones be bygones.

Don't penalize one groups play preference over another.

would it be fair to wallhack and aimbot if everyone could do it? there are not enough populated 1st person only servers to play on because people need to have unfair advantages when they play

[exogravis 13]

well technicaly everyone can cheat in games. it is the ms universe. but i digress. people will have to make due with being a minority in the 1st genre and either play it or don't. don't get me wrong, if it were the other way around and i would try to play it .... but never been for 1st person game.

Hello there

I don't mean to be a party pooper but there are so many large threads on 1st vs 3rd, can we not leave that particular debate to their own threads?

Just a thought.

Just me being pedantic, but by its very definition, if everyone can do it. it IS fair.

On-(this)-Topic.

Soooooo, how 'bout dem Standalones, eh?

[OrLoK 16183]

:)

[boneboys 7988]

SA server files weigh in at 258 mb.

Or so I am led to believe.

[Michaelvoodoo25 3120]

I thought it would be bigger tbh.

[dsenadhira@me.com 29]

I thought it would be bigger tbh.

Very efficient! Best devs in the world!!!!

[Michaelvoodoo25 3120]

they are doing something right, Not that I doubt their abilities. :thumbsup:

[OrLoK 16183]

I thought it would be bigger tbh.

I hear that a lot...

Back to shoes in the SA...

Well, I can see a difference in pumps/trainers vs Combats comfort vs strength/durability. Or there could be a difference between the standard Military boot and a specialist Combat boot. IE std issue vs Magnums. (I like that make). Could be a whole shoe sim there.

[Michaelvoodoo25 3120]

Well I hope there are feet issues, like Atheletes foot etc, If it is just a performance boost, Give it 2 weeks and players will have best in all wear.

Oh and Orlok, Magnum Boots are door breakers, Very good brand.

[whatup2003 67]

Well keep in mind that DayZ is not like most other MMOs. Most MMORPG games have a targeting system while DayZ has real-time aiming and shooting mechanics. Thus you must consider what advantage 3rd person view gives a player while fighting against others.

[OrLoK 16183]

Mine are a bit tatty and not up to much, but I wear em every single day.

Plus, they got me barred from a major high street chain of pubs... splendid!

im thinking of buying arma 2 and getting Dayz BUT i hear that there was a standalone that was supposed to be released when is that ??

AND also is it true that The standalone will have lower spec requirments than Arma 2 ??

Edited February 2, 2013 by jegerneger

[IkaikaKekai 1957]

When its Ready enough to be released as an Alpha

[jegerneger 0]

When its Ready enough to be released as an Alpha

so should i buy Arma 2 ?

[person915 345]

Thank god this isn't another useless thread about complaining about the release date.

Standalone is in closed alpha testing, so the release date is relative. They're going to open up the test to streamers, and then the general public after that, and they haven't got the streamers in yet, so that might give you an idea. From what I think, is they're going to be fixing the major game breaking bugs, things that alpha testers catch, and balancing the game out to what it is meant to be, in case they've got something wrong.

It depends how fast they work and how much they've got to fix. I'd say a month or two and it'll be out.

Here's what you get if you buy ArmA 2, now:

-ArmA 2, with campaign missions, and ability to run various entertaining mods, but lose support for most of these mods when ArmA 3 comes out, as well as most of the community.

-Ability to run alpha DayZ MOD, full of bugs, hackers, bandits and trolls.

If you wait:

-A full game, optimized for your PC with a fresh community

-A few hackers, hacks not being game-breaking as much

-Full support for the game and frequent updates

-Better features

I would wait. Make your first DayZ experience count. YOU ONLY GET TO HAVE YOUR FIRST TIME ONCE, so make it count, and make it memorable!!!! I'd wait so you can experience the awesomeness of the full-game. You have that luxury with the SA being pretty close to release.

But the date isn't announced, because I'm thinking they'll only announce the full-game true release, not the alpha or beta. When that happens, it'll probably have a thread on announcements titled "Devblog Update: So Yeah..."

Inside:

The alpha for the standalone is here now... so... uh... go nuts....
