SBR's and fighting from a vehicle in Standalone
thomas28 replied to thomas28's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
-are you saying that there won't be cars in standalone? Your example: AK74U isn't less powerful, just because you can use it from a car.-if you are right, then the AK74U will just be a AK74 you can use from a car, not what i'm hoping for, but not broken either.-that was the first thing i said "The SBR (Short Barrel Rifle) is not a great weapon system" - yes I agree completely. I want realistic SBR's as well, and no a short barrel does not necessarily equal less accuracy the 762X51 is a good example of this,but the 556 likes Barrel inches, and yes at 50M the 7" Barrel might even be more Accurate then a 18" Barrel but as the range goes further and further the 7" Barrel will become less Accurate than a 18" Barrel, due to the lower velocity of the 7" Barrel. The small differences between each round, will be more apparent at greater distances, and because of the lower velocity of the 7" Barrel, wind will have a bigger effect on the slower bullet. And I'm by the way not suggesting that barrels should be a part of the attachment system. -
SBR's and fighting from a vehicle in Standalone
thomas28 replied to thomas28's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
thanks man, massive loss of velocity (damage), loss of accuracy and more recoil. -
Yes i would love to see MOLLE gear. more Russian Stuff: easier maintenance, more parts more ammo in variable quality / more variable conditions and accuracy Russian Chest Rigs 5.45X39 guns ak74's 7.62X39 guns sks, maybe the ak47 maybe not 7.62X54R guns like the Mosin, SVD, PKM... 9X18 Makarov RPG 7 i would like to see a clear divide between russian stuff and nato stuff. nato stuff: harder to find harder to Maintain, Rare parts and Rare but better ammo, better conditions and accuracy 5.56x45 L85 m4 m16 g36 HK416 m249... 7.62X51/308 G3 M14DMR AR10's SCAR_H M24/remington 700 m240 mk48... 9X19 p226 p228 G17 f92/m9 mp5 338 lapua AWM... 50 BFG... Aldo you will have to use a wheelbarrow, but then you'll also have a bipod AT4 suppressors in 9MM, 556, 762 and 338 lapua Hunting stuff Hunting Rifles in .22's 308 / 762X51nato .30-6 300 win mag and perhaps Rare hollow point / soft point ammunition in small quantities. Civilian stuff More battery's AA, 123, 2032 and the ability to stack battery's, maybe in the same stack so 9v with AA and 123.

I like this idea. a thought on zombi behaviour in general: if a zombi sees a zombi moving with purpose it starts following set zombi.

Yes i agree you should be able to paint your gun using the Crafting system in standalone.

A better way to monetize the standalone?
thomas28 replied to Obsolescence's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
maybe you could make those group emblems, using the Crafting system that is coming to standalone. -
When you pick up a new rifle you would have to zero it manually with the only help being your point of impact and adjustment on your sight for windage and elevation. of course you would have to do it all over again if you change the Scope, and you won't be able to pick up a new rifle and go Sniping right away. i'm sorry if this was already discussed.

A realistic suggestion for food and blood
thomas28 replied to Man vs Wild's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
The "lonewolf" concept is misunderstood. A lone wolf is a wolf that is on its own and therefore has a very hard time surviving, in real life a wolfs only real chance of survival is in a group. I think it's fine to make the game harder to survive alone, that could be the primary reason to team up as in real life. -
Oculus Rift support for stand alone DayZ
thomas28 replied to soapmak3r's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Yes rift support in dayz would be enough to make me buy Oculus is Rift, Racing games would be very nice but i think that with HDMI it will only support 60hz, to each eye even though we have 600hz Oled displays. -
I am not trying to be funny, we will probably not see this being Implemented but i could see some funny gameplay of this and more player decisions. A few Examples A new way to give away your position as you Shit yourself with diarrhoea :huh: Getting hypothermia because you Pissed yourself you got to lay a brick if you have the "Entrenchment Tool" do do you take the time to barry it Does the smell attract the Z's, Wolves... Diarrhoea a way to Dehydrate quickly Thoughts

Shiting in the woods, pissing and diarrhoea.
thomas28 replied to thomas28's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
I can see that trolling by Shiting could become a Issue (a specially if this could be exploited with Cannibalism) but not so big as some would make it out to be, as you would only be able to do so every 6 or 8 hours. Rocket talked about, a lot less hut and more subtle Q's peeing could be one of those on Hydration. -
My mostly stupid and probably repeated suggestions for DayZ standalone [Part 1]
thomas28 replied to timboski's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
I like your travelling circus idea, and a Mine could fit the current map as well. The travelling circus should be a random Spawn like the crash sites but near a town -
I say add Cannibalism to dayz, but make it f***** up, and very disturbing.
-
no, please no,

Packs of Wolves? Just throwin this out there...
thomas28 replied to Theplanbpill's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
yes add wolves and make them Smart, so they Stalk you and attack wen you're week as in real life. Wolves howling in the night, i think they will fit nicely in the world of dayz. -

Instead of making zombies stronger, why not make them use tactics?
thomas28 replied to colekern's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
I like my zombies stupid and in big numbers, not easier to kill, maybe a bit slower. I say add wolves and make them Smart, so they Stalk you and attack wen you're week as in real life. Wolves howling in the night, i think they will fit nicely in the world of dayz. -
Add 22 long rifle weapons to dayz A pistol and too rifles, a semi auto and bolt action with a semple low power scope, all feeding of the same ten round mag, or Splitting the mag for the bolt action, The good Lots of ammo Pretty quiet Good for warning Shots next to no recoil The bad Low magazine capacity ten round mag Long time of flight Low Damage (maybe 500 Blood for the pistol and a bit more for the rifles) Jamming (the .22 Cartridge will never be 100%) This was More for the Standalone, and i think this would add some interesting gameplay.

Add 22 long rifle pistol and rifle to dayz
thomas28 replied to thomas28's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
223 vs 22 Pretty pointless comparison but here it is. But i'm sure they will add Ruger Mini 14 in 223 -
Suggestion: Make silenced weapons more realistic
thomas28 replied to na85's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Good thread, yes a Suppressor is still loud, but my impression is that soft terrine absorbs the sound a lot better, then none Suppressed, and the sound isn't as Deafening. speaking of realism the ability to run a Suppressor wet would be a nice inclusion. Nice Idea TheSwede, i would love to see this have my beans, i one's fired (continual fire) my M16A3 in open terrine, where i had dropped my SureFire earplugs, my Ears was singing (Loudly!) for the next 45 minutes, fire a burst or too in a confined space and you will probably be deaf. I would like to see the .22 LR in dayz, even none Suppressed it's a quiet Round, or quiet enough that you won't need earplugs, and Suppressed it can be airsoft quiet, in dayz standalone there will be a crafting system, i could see Improvised Suppressors for the 22, as 556/223 or higher would probably blast such a device. I have a thread on the .22 here http://dayzmod.com/f...yz/#entry905767 -
Add 22 long rifle pistol and rifle to dayz
thomas28 replied to thomas28's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Yes it is under powered but when military weapons become rare, and hunting rifles become normal gear, the 22 will i think become a valuable tool. Example of hunting rounds 30-06 303 Lee-Enfield 308/7.62x51 300win mag All very effective rounds of course, but you will have a lot less ammo then the current AK, AR, M16, M4 ammo, also they r all very loud As these hunting weapons become common, you will be more welcoming of a quiet 22 rifle with a box of 250 rounds. -
Get rid of Snipers completely?
thomas28 replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
I would agree that Thermal is to powerful and should be removed or be so rare it isn't a factor, and Sniping should be realistic. Maybe adding a wait system to the inventory would help with the 50 cal. -
More zombies i'm all for it, easier to kill nope, i think a little slower zombies maybe good, and have them following/Populate the roads.

i say Keep the real time zones

It does, i got a gasmask in my bathroom hanging next to the towel
