I'm totally kudos on the combining 4-6 rounds into a one-slot item. Course it's been suggested a million times, but hey, I still like the idea and I'm not giving up.

ACE includes windage, so it's indeed possible to create it for DayZ. The big question is: What is going to make people stay sniping? If you nerf it too much, everyone is just going to use AKMs and M16 ACOGs.

Yes.

You might be able to do something with THIRSK It certainly looks better than Vostok, and also seems to have a decent amount of the map covered by snow. This would probably be the best possibility, though I don't know how long it would take to convert DayZ to it.

There have been many that have come before you, Rozjackal, including me. I always tried to use this to illustrate to people that there are indeed, more universe-fitting weapons. I give you the East Weapons Pack. It actually contains a lot of shit, which I posted back in a thread a looooooooong ass time ago. The pack: East Weapons Pack The long-ass time ago thread that included what the pack includes. Here It's not a super-huge pack, but it does include some real nice weapons if the DayZ team ever decides to implement them.

Just to go off a realistic standpoint: Who the hell has a P90? Barely any army really uses them, because they're using their own rifles. The ammunition would be also quite scarce, as only two weapons in the world use 5.7. It would be just as useful to put in an XM8 because at least it has some sort of scope. What we need are more hunting weapons. Most civilians don't own M16s, and the ones that do probably don't use them often. Here's something better: DEM SHOTGUNS. What's that? It's two shotguns that are used for hunting and skeet shooting. One is a semi-auto, the Browning Maxus, and the other is a Lanber 2097. Shotguns are the most common weapons in the world, with farmers and civilians alike using them for hunting, self defense, and skeet shooting. The chances of finding one of these types of weapons in a household is like 1 in 200. M16? more like 1 in 2000. We need these guns. We don't need more Modern Warfare. And speaking of which.... I feel a much greater accomplishment when I nail a bastard from 200 yards with a Winchester than with an AKM. Why? Because no matter what gun I choose, I will still kill you. Even if it is one of the most common weapons available. (And I actually did swap out an AKM for a Winchester once, for multiple reasons). On the side note of not having enough sidearms; 1. Make all melee weapons take the pistol slot. 2. Use these pistols as well. Many police forces use at least some of them. German Weapons Pack And the best part of what I just suggested, THEY'RE ALREADY MADE.

There's a reason why I call it "Shitlauncher".

Why is "slay bandits" still on the main page as step two? Every person is a bandit, considering that everyone wants to kill everyone else. I think "bandits" should be changed to "supposed friends" or "wandering players". Honestly, it's misleading.

I would say that more acutal hunting weapons should be added, and Hydrogenhats has the right idea with getting rid of the weapons. However, not all military weapons should be removed, but they should be among the rarest weapons in the game. To tack on to hydrogenhat's post, the Lee-Einfield should be added back, just for the sake of having a ridiculously loud rifle that isn't fully automatic. The following would also be good additions, and the models exist as well: Kar98: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=6834 Styer SSG-69: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=10499 SKS, Uzi, and Tokarev: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=15802 Browning Maxus and Lanber O/U: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=12338 These are all decent hunting weapons, and the models already exist. The problem for the other weapons though is that they only exist in theory. Someone still has to make them. These are already made, and would make DayZ more realistic with the inclusion of more hunting weapons/leftover weapons.

List of creatures we need roaming around, organized in order of priorities: 1. Bears 2. Wolves 3. Mountain Lions/Cougars/Panthers 4. Bloodsuckers from STALKER 5. Snorks from STALKER? 6. Chuck Norris 7. Puffer Fish 8. Carnivorous Deer 9. Wild Boar 10: Giant Catfish (possibly in lakes) In Soviet Russia, catfish eat you.

Disabling the respawn button doesn't work anyway. I just head to the nearest town and get molested by zeds to respawn somewhere different. Like Balota. The best thing to do would honestly be to choose where you spawn, having the options: Kamenka, Prigorodki, Kamyshovo, and Nizhnoye. They're all a decent distance away from each other, and people who spawn on the east coast have smaller cities, but are slightly closer to the more high-level areas in case they want a quicker start. Prigo is close to both of the main cities, and Kamenka has a relatively low possibility of banditry, due to it's remoteness. People at Kamyshovo can either choose starting on the west or east coast, and Nizhnoye is close to Berezino, and somewhat close to the Northeast Airfield. It might also make players think twice before putting tents up there too.

Perhaps a realistic bandit solution, or at least a way to cut down on the banditry is to limit the amount of stuff players can pick up on bodies. By severely restricting it, to something around 4 slots. However, killing bandits that are DESIGNATED BY THE BANDIT SKINS BEING BROUGHT BACK (they actually freakin' worked you know, well, for the most part. People would actually make "bandit hunting squads") would yield you more slots than 4, somewhere around 5-6. Although it's probably never going to happen, because 10% of what's suggested on here makes it past 3 pages of posts, and 1% of that is ever actually considered. So it's really more like 0.1%.

The War Z is going to be quite like DayZ, but it is still catering to a "milder" audience. Not the Call of Duty audience, but audiences more like STALKER, Dead Island, and Fallout. Here's a PC Gamer Artice on it: The War Z Simple version: The War Z is somewhat like DayZ, only with more customization, a retail price of $30, and skill trees. Skill trees dictate that there is XP, and XP means quests. Quests means levels, and levels mean non-civilian guns being at your disposal. Fortunately, people can host servers, it's a one-time payment (no subscription), there's a normal and hardcore mode, free updates and 250 people in a 400ish km2 world. Not exaclty like DayZ, but its probably the closest a retail version can get. Hopefully, the specs won't be super-high, and pray that it doesn't turn out like APB Reloaded. As for consoles: - ARMA: never has and never will. There are not enough buttons, and you'd have to delve into 3-button combos just to bring up your watch. - The War Z? Since its an "MMO", probably not. Not to mention, consoles are dying out of the current (8th gen) anyway. The Wii U is headlining with mediocre crap, and the Ecksbawx and Painstakin' 3 will be sure to follow. Probably around 2013/14.

You can't play on most servers because the patches are not backwards compitable. If you have 1.62 (current type) you cannot play on 1.60 (or even 1.61 I believe). If you didn't update and have the last 1.60 beta patch, you can play on most of the servers because those all still use 1.60. So either wait a few months for 5 servers to get 1.62(or 1.61), or install something else than DayZ and start playing that. Because its going to be a long-ass time.

Could be used as a portable tent, but bigger. Also should be extremely rare if implemented with this feature.
