@ DemonGroover, yeah the halleluja moments are pretty much gone for anyone that has some experience in the game. Rarity tags on items is totally off with all the hacking and duping so i guess the real issue isn't the thermal function but rather the availability. @ Axelord FTW, i'm with ya, maybe not to go as far as wild west style but i'm all for a more gritty and spartaneous item system. Sadly, from reading your replies i understand and agree that nothing can be done at the moment, if unbalanced items were removed a hacker will just spawn them back in, someone will find them eventually and dupe the shit out of them and then we are back at the current situation. In a game where your survival is largely based on the items you are able to find, as it would be in a similar real life situation, you need to have a solid and realistic item system or the game will be unbalanced. I'm hoping that the dev's read this and other posts as all of us playing this great mod are alpha testers, the potential for a "greatest game ever" scenario is huge if we can combine Rockets vision with user experience. Hopefully when the mod or the game gets "fixed" realism and rarity of items will be raised aswell.

Hi, First time on the forum, first post, so be nice :D I have been playing a lot of Dayz, and it is one of the most entertaining and unique games i've played so far. One of the elements i love the most is the feeling of never being safe. I love the idea of a sniper watching me and also the idea of that i can watch someone and choose to engage them or not. There is one thing though that i would like to "drop in the suggestion box" I think the whole sniper and target concept would be much more thrilling and scary if the thermal scopes from the L85 and other weapons were removed. Not the nightvision scopes only the thermal. I am basing this on that it would be much more skill based and rewarding then, you would have to utilize cover a lot more and really take your time, both as sniper and when trying not to be seen by snipers. The ghillie suit is great but it is also useless when thermal is taken to the playing field. Nowadays when a lot of players simply bring out the L85 scans every hill and then switches to their faithful AS50 it kind of unbalances the cat and mouse game, in my opinion. Anyway, it's just a suggestion. The game is great, thermal or not. Cheers!
