I like the looks of the FAL

" I hope to see also things like ability to resist fatigue better, steadier aim after sprint, resistance to diseases." the first two are in game advantages. They should tie things like repair, first aid, lock pick, animal skinning, animal buchering, crafting, fire starting all to skills that progress from barely functional to excellent. All the base building functions should be similarly tied to developed skills that people might not even start with.

They have to change the cz so that the magazine can be topped up in place without changing it. IRL it behaves just like a fixed magazine rifle if you want it to. Thinks like AK pattern and M16 pattern rifles cannot do that, but most civi pattern bolts can

I gather magazines and ammo and when I find that weapon I put the magazine and ammo with it. Have done this many many many times.

I never said that at all. What a strange kind of logic you use. I said many things have changed that will impact the issue. Some much more so then the nooks and crannies of the buildings.

There is so much different then the mod it is kind of a huge leap for the OP to say that the extra rooms have the effect he says. Vehicles make the map smaller in the mod, zombie sentries that only show up when there is someone close to them makes finding people to kill way easier. the map is far better the way it is, except I liked the extra belts of dark forest that used to be on the bottom 1/3 of the map but have been filled in. Leaving the coast in the dark trying to get back to the middle where your dudes gear was used to be more exciting. But I do not think there is any correlation between number of rooms and dificultiy finding people. Drive a truck up the middle of the map, people will find you. Shoot a few flares...

you can be sure that every soldier in the world can pull a magazine out and put a new one in while he is walking or even running. If you cannot then I do not see that as a good reason to restrict the rest of us.

never new there was a stone knife in the game. what a clown...sigh

I understand that he is leaving because they wouldn't let him implement rape in the game to go with torture and cannibalism, so he cannot complete his 13 year old hacker heaven vision. But that may just be a rumour. The game currently is deserving of neg votes compared to where it should be, compared to where it was 4 months ago it deserves cudos. Both can be true, its not that hard to understand.

all these tough guys that do not need compasses. who the freak cares we have all spent hundreds of hours on the map and know our way around. Yes the stars are correct so you can find the north star. (even if the big dipper is way to mall in the sky and all constellation stars are way to dull compared to the back ground stars) Compasses are broken, kind of hilarious, the simplest thing in our kit doesn't work, and of course the only time you need them you do not know they are wrong. I stopped carrying them which is a shame.

Not in stand alone, development has seemed slow in the past but quite impressive of late, I never get attached to characters anyway. Some of the hacking in the mod days was severe, but I just stuck to white list servers for the most part.

I found a sign on a concrete slab near stary novy that said March 2014 on it I think.

they have added a bunch of for all intents and purposes exaclty the same eastern block guns that use different mags and ammo. But the frequency over all didnt change so you are dividing your chances of getting a gun- ammo- magazine match into at least a third, and it was already kind of hard. So we all have to carry tones of this crap arround in hopes of coming up with 3 cherries on the wheel and wining. Not sure its what they intended and it feels dumb. Put a magazine with every weapon spawn.

yup a fire, hand warmers do not seem to do it, or not in the 5 minutes I tried. No cold indicator but got the constant shivers

the game seems to have trouble supporting its features when the population gets above about 20 on the server. The map really needs a population of 40-50 to make it so everywhere you go you have to be careful.

Yes, but its not called zeroing. Its called range compensation. You can certainly get range compensating turrets for the elevation settings of your scope. But they are very very weapon and ammo specific. And the farther the shot has to go the more specific they become. I actually just ordered one for the Leopold on my Sako yesterday. I had to say the Calibre and actual round used its muzzle velocity and ballistic coefficient, height of the centre of the scope above the centre of the bore and the altitude and temperatures I typically shoot at. Since its for a hunting rifle I would imagine some of that environmental stuff would not come into play too much cause I will not shoot an animal at over 400 anyway but what the hey.

I like how zeroing is described in this thread as a feature. Zeroing would be a requirement, You find a scope, you find a gun, you put the scope on the gun, a zombie starts running at you and you pull the trigger and miss the zombie... Because you did not zero the weapon and scope. In the above scenario, it should take some shots to zero your optics. You would not dream of mounting that scope until you are in a situation when you can spend 20 rounds and 30 minutes to zero it. The quality of the zero would reflect how far you want to shoot it. if you leave the weapon shooting groups 2cm low right at 100 meters, it will be missing along way at 600m. So yes there should be zeroing in the game, but it is nothing to do with setting your scope to 600m and hitting dead on...lol its to do with setting up your weapon and optics so that they will work and you understand where they shoot.

Ya its coming along for sure. Right now its the zombies that seem the weakest. Strange movements and observation abilities. they get way to many free warp hits. I like the repair boots stuff, and the healing system.

Had it, nothing worked except sitting in front of a fire for 5 minutes. I was cold I guess as soon as I logged in but none of the you are cold indicators were firing. Even a heat pack didn't work.

its like people do not even look when they post, the dayz db map has removed crash sites .

Every 527 actually has dove tails for a scope, just let us pull the sope off the single shot pistol and re zero it. The reload animation for the 527 is kind of flaky too, it goes through the whole motion then does and extra cycle of the bolt. And you should be able to have one in the pipe and 5 in the mag.

I want to be able to put a full back pack up a tree for a cache.

lol I have a 5 gallon gas can I have been using in my lawn mower for years now. Are you sure it degrades like you surmise... Nature waters the pumpkin patches, the pumpkins grow without anyone watching... The fruit in the houses is just dumb. The fields look like they were tended last week, The houses look like someone just walked out of them. I agree with the OP, but not because of some consistent message of DAYZ Cannon from the devs that is clear in the design elements of the game, but because I think most of the stuff looks at most a month abandoned. And the stuff that looks more abandoned then that, I attribute to it being in eastern europe.

What is the value of a range finding optic without magnification? It should be at least 3x.

yup, my 6.55 shoots 7.9 inches low at 300 yards but if the target is 100 feet below me, it would likely average out. You could program a laser to tell you the effective range if it could tell the slope(like my golf laser tries to do, but it would be different for every loading (and barrel length)so it would be pretty specialized
