You never heard of "friends" walking to the corpse in order to loot them, did you? But "FORCING PEOPLE INTO TOWNS" will lower the amount of PvP....right?

The majority of civilian rifles are in fact hunting rifles, which are basically sniper rifles without tacticool equipment used for large game hunting.... Like we didn't have enough PvP in Cherno/Elektro/Stary already....you just want to force even more dudes into them Fucking brilliant idea, Einstein Made me chuckle

So let me sum that up: 1. Death: You encountered 1 not so friendly guy after having(you said it yourself) several friendly contacts and cooperation with other players 2. Death: Stary Sobor, nuff said 3. Death: Cherno, nuff said 4. Death: Balota Airfield, nuff said 5. Death: Hilarious chase by an axe-wielding madman Your post doesn't make sense You said yourself that you had alot of friendly contacts in your 30hrs of gameplay, you would meet an unfriendly survivor eventually Every other death was in a PvP hotspot...plus one involving a sharp object and lots of zombies I don't see how this would "change" your behavior in anyway, as in "I've had enough of helping people COME AT ME BRAHS IMMA KILL YOU" Bottom line: you're a fool

A dude AltF4'd in combat This is so new and exciting it needs a new thread!!

So you want to remove sniper rifles in one of the few games that actually gives you a map large enough to utilize sniper rifles in the range they are intended to be used at? Oh boy....

"In lots of things" = MMOs I have yet to see a first person shooter that includes a logout timer, which is why it's so tough to do in the first place

Must have something to do with the engine and not the ever-growing list of needed features that come through new types of guerilla conflicts....absolutely

ZING! But...seriously.... There are so many threads yelling "OMYGAWD DAYZ WILL BE DEAD IN T MINUS X", yet the number of unique players just keeps on rising When I checked 2 weeks ago we had german servers labeled DE 1 to about 150 Now 2 weeks later we suddenly have 4-digit server labels going up to about 1150 Oh boy, if this continues DayZ will be dead very soon....absolutely! Implying that there is a "HABIT" that people need to follow It's a sandbox for fucks sake, people do what they want, not what you want

Oh, this thread again

In my first 5 gameplay hours of DayZ I became a bandit From the beginning I knew that I would die when I let my guard down The bandit skin didn't help making the paranoia go away either After the bandit skin removal I kept playing this way Never had a problem will "Kill on Sight" If you screw up someone will take advantage of it and kill you, deal with it But one thing: Uhm....yeah Ghosting to flanking position is abuse too btw

In its current state DayZ can't even track ammo counts of individual magazines through reconnects And you want to add lifebars to weapons? Hahaha...oh wow...

Some servers allow you to add a 3D marker on-screen that includes distance You can do it by openin the map and clicking LMB while holding down Shift It appears as a double circle on the map

No It would only lead to solo players leaving the game and organized groups continuing like they did before You can't force teamwork, either people co-operate or they don't, game mechanics won't change that

This....changes everything!!!

Yeah.....right....

But you won't just stand around your camp with a Stinger waiting for a helicopter recon to spot you For me this sounds too....random One would never defend his own camp with a Stinger, people would just run around with them if they have enough space and shoot a helicopter if they see one So instead of being shot down when spotting a certain, well-defended camp, helicopters would just be shot down when crossing the path of a Stinger-wielding madman And like people said already, a .50cal or M249 SAW can deal with a helicopter too

Which is pretty bad IMO considering that this is a MilSim, and not some MMO with random crits and Luck+ items No But a pistol shouldn't give you superior fighting capabilities over say an assault rifle just because one bullet happened to be a random KO hit Agree, completely different story For example whenever my squadmate shoots a burst with his M249 SAW it sounds like a single shot for our squad Guess it has something to do with desync

Seen one helicopter in my whole gameplay time Heard 4 helicopters in my whole gameplay time Never seen a helicopter actually engage targets Yeah...we absolutely need a defense against helicopters....

<p>

I love how retards are all like "OMG BULLETS HURT DEAL WITH IT" when OP clearly stated that he had 10k blood and went KO while he managed to get below 800 blood in firefights without going KO Bloody morons So a pistol dealing 800-1300 damage post-patch manages to take him down to 9k blood on the first shot? I think your math is slightly off, I'm pretty sure 12.000-1.300 = 10.700

Pretty decent break-in for my newly acquired L85 AWS So what do you do when your favorite server - which has all your tents and vehicles - goes offline because of issues with the new patch? You roam around and search for camps on other servers So my buddy (equipped with a DMR) and I (equipped with L85 Thermal and Rangefinder) decided to check the western forest border of the map We ended up on the tree line at the little farm where the Old Hatchback spawns(SW of Lopatino) Just as we were about to check out the Hatchback on the farm we saw 2 players running up the street, apparently they wanted to do the same So my ghillied friend takes out his DMR, sets up and waits for me to call out the range Just as they arrived at the farm a 3rd player spawned right infront of them and started exchanging gear with the other 2 When they all stood still I gave the go and my friend and I opened fire simultaneously 1 down 2 down 3 dow-....nope AltF4'd...nvm 5 minutes of waiting and nobody else showed up, so we prepared to move in and grab our reward Then I saw the legs of a ghillie suit laying at the eastern treeline.....loot will have to wait Now after 5 minutes of flanking, checking thermals, continue flanking, checking thermals again we concluded that the sniper AltF4'd too But it was obvious that he watched the corpses of his fallen comrades to shoot the first person trying to loot them We expected him to ghost to another position Then the server restarted Not a single scratch on us, only a couple of magazines missing with a tent packed with ammo waiting - but no loot Oh well....atleast we had our fun

Uhm....?

No SD gun can only use SD ammo Non-SD gun can use non-SD and SD ammo(implying that you have the same kind, like STANAG ammo) It's not a steeper dropoff The whole zeroing is FUBAR when using SD ammo in a non-SD weapon When I loaded stanag SD ammo in my M16A2 my shots went waaaayyy high, I had to aim at the feet in order to hit the chest of a zombie that was standing 10m infront of me

Yes The SD ammo changes zero on several non-SD weapons The M16A4 ACOG shoots perfectly fine when being used with SD ammo The M4A3 CCO on the other hand shoots way high when being used with SD ammo Load the editor with the L85 and SD ammo, figure out the zero there Oh and try to get some regular STANAG ammo ASAP

Yeah I'll definately run out of ammo once my half-empty mag refuse to reload on reconnect *looks at pile of 70+ STANAG mags in his camp* Nevermind... If you run out of ammo you can still retreat from hotspots and just go and loot deerstands, they will have ammo that fits your gun eventually - unless you use rare ammo weapons like the Bizon IMO people overexaggerate this upcoming update, it won't change PvP in any way
