    Is PvP & Atmosphere Dying in DayZ SA?

    New 3rd person camera should curtail the looking-over-walls abuse (hopefully). Too many people don't realize that Dayz is supposed to be hardcore, gritty and unforgiving and are looking for the easy way out by sticking to the coast because they cba to run for 20 minutes, so they pretty much miss the entire point of the game. I bet this gets on the developers nerves as well as they spent all that time creating beautiful scenery around Svetlo and Novo only for 99% of player traffic to be in Electro which is one of the old cities that was in the mod... The only solution I can think of is to just implement spawn points ALL ACROSS THE MAP.This combined with the planned increase in population per server would work really well and should make military zones the main traffic areas, which is how it should be, no exceptions. For those that just want an easy game: -Don't know where you spawned ? Tough, go to the closest town and look at a signpost. -Can't get military grade gear within 30 mins ? Tough, military grade gear is supposed to be rare, just like it was in the mod where it would take most people half a day to even get an automatic weapon. In the mod gear meant something and you really didn't want to lose it, currently it has next to no value. -Don't get any player interaction for an hour ? Tough, seeing another player isn't supposed to be a common thing, it's supposed to be rare enough to get the heart pumping when you finally spot someone.

  4. Hey guys, I am looking for a group/clan of players to play the original Dayz with. I am not a huge fan of the mods such as Namalsk or Origins because I feel it pollutes the spirit and atmosphere of the original game and so will only be playing on the original mod. I am a 19 year old student called Louis currently studying at University and living in Bournemouth in the UK. I would describe myself as approachable and friendly and I can't wait to meet new people to game with. Cheers, Louis
  5. Hi guys ( and gals ). My name is Louis I am a 19 year old university student currently living in Bournemouth in the UK. I am looking for a group of people to play Dayz with, preferably people who are 18+ and have skype/teamspeak, because I find playing Dayz in a group much more fun. I have been playing Dayz for about a year now so I have a decent amount of experience. Please reply to this thread and leave some means to contact you if you are interested in teaming up :). Cheers Louis

  10. Hi there guys, after playing Dayz for several months now I have had my fair share of gameplay experience and I think we can all agree that the availability of military grade weapons is far from perfect. I would like to offer up my meager suggestions on how to change this and to hear your feedback on my ideas. Firstly, I would like to begin by stating the changes I would make to the current weapon spawn system. Currently, a player who know's what he is doing can obtain military grade weapons ( Im talking Assault Rifles, Sniper Rifles, MP5's, Military grade shotguns, Silenced Weapons, etc... ) in a matter of minutes. In my opinion, strong military weapons should be a rarity and not something one should be able to obtain after only a small amount of game time. To put it into context of a zombie apocalypse, what are the chances of waking up on the coast, walking into the nearest town and come out armed to the teeth ? I can tell you very little, the military dont tend to leave their weapons lying around in fire stations. Instead, i would reserve a lower tier of weapons to towns. Possibly having police stations in the major cities with pistols, weak shotguns, weak sniper rifles and some unreliable AR's (unreliability being, gun jamming or gun sights slightly off similar to the system in Far Cry 2, another interesting concept that could be developed). Additionally, in terms of the higher tier of weapons, currently we have 3 locations/ ways of obtaining them and they are : The military tents in Stary Sobor, the NW airfield and crashed helicopters. Nothing is stopping players from logging on to empty servers and looting the places free of repercussions ( because let's face it zombies barely qualify as an annoyance once you know how they work ). Instead of fixed locations where finding military gear is a certainty I think a "convoy/helicopter system" would be more appropriate, more enriching and more exiting. Convoy attack is a concept i first discovered many years back in Arma 2's predecessor, Operation Flashpoint, and in my opinion it worked really well. Players would spawn with a radio and at random moments during the game they would receive messages concerning a convoy or a helicopter, for example : " This is convoy Bravo, we are under heavy attack attack from Zeds and in danger of being overrun please sent all available reinforcements to Vybor, I say again all..... ARGHHH *radio cuts out* ". Within these convoys that spawn randomly every 90 minutes ( for example ), would be the high end military gear that all players crave. Increasing or decreasing the spawn time of these convoys depending on the number of players on the sever would be an interesting way to encourage people to play on high population servers and thus end the habit of people playing on low population servers. I believe the player interaction involved in the looting of these convoys would be extremely interesting and a brilliant element to add to the game. These interactions could range from a huge gunfight to different squads of people teaming up and then splitting the loot between them and the backstabbing the other team etc... In other words it would cut to the core of what Dayz is all about, survival, player interaction and knowing who to trust and who not to trust. To conclude, I would like to briefly mention another issue that I believe is a threat to the game. With all these guns spawning in and changing hands, inevitably the number of guns possessed by the community is going to inevitably rise leading to once again, everyone being armed to the teeth. I believe it is imperative to create a reliable system to remove guns from the game in an effort to combat the militarisation of the community. You could for example, decrease the time bodies remain in game so that if the loot is not immediately claimed the dead body with all it's gear would disappear, or have the guns on the dead body's found damaged by the thing that killed the player and thus useless. I haven't given this much thought so would really appreciate suggestions by other members of the community. Cheers guys, waiting for your feedback !

    Weapon spawning revamp.

    Not gonna lie, if it where up to me i'd completely remove AS50 all together. No matter what people say it's best sniper rifle in the game by a mile and once you have it there is absolutely no reason to change. Toning down the M107 ( make it even louder, dramatic damage decrease over distance, very large recoil ), would make for an interesting dilemma for players between the M24 the DMR and the M107 which i think is better.
  12. Hey guys. My name is Louis, i'm 18 years old and I live in England and have been playing Dayz for 2 months now. I am looking for people to play Dayz with regularly, preferably over the age of 16, and to possibly form a squad with if our playing hours are the same. I can generally play between 9p.m to 2-3a.m GMT until my university course starts in October. If you are interested please comment on this thread and leave your e-mail or skype address and we can take it from there :). Louis.
