Drakan

It remembers me something.... Did it already happen to you to snipe in on a target and actually manage to hit the weapon ? Many times it occured to me, I could even see pieces of stone flushing off the contact zone like if I had shooted on a wall. Maybe its a glitch and has nothing to do with touching the weapon surface. But I need to know if I'm the only one who has experienced this

As the game became famous with more and more people joining-in the servers. some "simple" original dayz weapons such as thermals and 5O caliber rifles started to generate problems with the gameplay. You can easily deduce what kind of issue would be added by the implementation of any new or highly sofisticated weapon. Especially since these weapons are often used by a precise category of player. Players who will only rely on it for what I name "trolling" (you can consider this, since I am a full-time bandit) If you want to hit vehicules, I suggest you take the time to find/trade a M16 with M203 launcher. With two or three grenades, you'll be able to burst your motorised targets easily. You'll notice that players who play in 4 to 6 players squads usually tend to think they are invincible and invisible ; ) I have some victims with this device. My best shots were destroying vehicules with squads of players by using the M203 + M16 combo. I even bursted a chopper who's pilot was silly enough to autostationary over my nest. Drakan the Hut' NOTE : I guess that many of you never heard about the price of a Javelin, Stinger and TOW missile..

I have the same problem right now on a server.. EDIT: On global hive server. By the way, if a medic helps me out, I'll give him a present.

Doom guy you got my beans for the avalanches. You sure know your classics ; ) And for your proposition. Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes ! It would bring a lot to the game without denaturating it.

ah ok ; sorry. I'll remove your beans for Chabowski so ?! ; )

Maraca's idea of 5 minutes after last move isn't bad ! But I already see you guys comming with lots of funny ideas. The essential is to avoid bodies from being dragged on 10 miles distance. Avoid anything which would get the game slower or less authentic as well. It's a pleasure to see that we can discuss on these possible improvements in a such constructive way !

Na na na nah ! The 5 minutes counter Solves EVERY problem linked to draging abuse (for example guys having fun bringing a corpse to NWAF since Kamenka) To kniFely ; I didn't contredict myself. Actually I wanted to tell that due to the 5 minutes time, it would mainly be the killers who will move the bodies (dead fresh bodies). Or anyone close enough / fast enough to do it. Off course, you will still be able to carry around your wounded friend ... Which is a totally different thing The shoulder thing is too close to Amra - only a war thing. Only trained and very strong soldiers could do such a thing (spetznatz; foreign legionaires ; Gurka's). And not the common soldier or survivor I guess that if we had to move a body as a survivor, It would be done exclusively while dragging it by it's feet. Moreover if one day they decide to implement a correct blood engine (standalone) the fact of draging a body will make these creepy greezzly blood traces on the ground. A 24h24 draging (always available) would trigger too many abuses. Especially if they decide to make it work with Zombies (I don't think it would be good)

As soon as you're not that "running in the middle of cherno and looting the top of firestation" idiot with an axe, you may notice that you can stand a chance at avoiding to get killed by a normal hoper. But the thermal hoper creates many ankward situations. You're walking during one hour looking at your back the way to stary cabor and after having securised the town and finish scanning. Somebody spawns with L85 and foolows you after his standart 30 second horizon check. "clap clap ; on the ground!"

It is real that implementend with objects (IED's and beartraps) would be even more trivial !

Some sport trainers cost about 300 dolars. And the guys who buy these are poor (when they aren't dealing painkillers in their hoods)

I totally agree with you for the Enfield ... But it isn't a reason for desesperating. I think that the one shot feature of the Enfield was a triple AAA CLASSIC **** It should have remained like this. I remember how we could own Cherno roofs with this weapon. Didn't seem overpowered by that time But don't worry about the nerfing and all. I guess that they are testing all kinds of new tomatoe recipes for the standalone Baked bean's can

SWEET I guess it will take time before the residual weapons will disapear.. but great move still !

You know you play dayz too much when your nap is interupted by Makarov rounds . You figure out that you fell asleep, you grab your mouse thinking: where is he ?? where is he ??...

"double post deleted" sorry for any incon..

I don't know if this feature is available in Arma 2 OA/CO I guess you're talking about something mounted on a tripod or a vehicule, like the ones used in army (French army for example). It's a sort of pickup truck with a mounted Thermal camera on the back, it is used for inland recognition on airfields and other wide open military spaces. These pickups use to drive everyday among a whole area and take some stops so the aimer can scan static and in movement. It is very hard, almost impossible to avoid. but it patrols only twice, three or four times a day. (these same guys are trained for enemy reconaissance, they are also the guys who will infiltrate the enemy or ally bases on exercise ; they use to dig special trenches for this duty) The problem is more about the impact it has on game strategy and survival. You see effective up to 500 but it's far enough in order that you can scan around and see a hord of zombies in one of the surounding villages. But here is an example of an inapropriate use of the gun: Drakan is in the middle of a field, in a bush, wearing ghillie with camouflage SVD next to Elektro's train station , a place where there are a lots of bushes and palissades. He could normally stay in this position during an hour or even more as soon as he doesn't fire or makes the right firing. (I always play on veteran servers) But guess how long can I stay like this without being shot. On a .. for example... 20 people server. the answer is... fifteen minutes untill a thermal hopper / sniper comes joins in or comes in. You will answer me "yeah but this is because of duplication" ; I can tell you that the fact of ten guys or one guy using it on a server is the same thing. It will have the same impact on the "stealth" possibilites of the game.

This is cool ^^ I gave my beans

good idea ! For my part I'ld just keep the good old' Baked beans ! But what about about throwing dirty can on a player when you disaprove with his thread. I mean an empty food can or any other litter-related item. The picture would show the empty can with some bean's sauce stains or a fish bone Others would see "Drakan ; jabberwock and 18 other players threw their dirty can on (playername)" I think it's important to make the emphasis on the "dirty" as it shows something negative, it would make the message clearer; because trust me ; it can sometimes be hard for some new players to understand the meaning of such items on the forum. (I personnaly needed few days befaure figuring out that the baked bean can was to give credit to someone's thread...") It can be any other thing as soon that it's clear no ? .

+ 999999 It is strange , but I feel the same in Dayz; its not comfortable to use. But because the guys who are sniping you may have it; you will have to use it as well... I don't know if you guys already did countersniping with one of these but staring at a red screen during one to three hours is not fun. It ruins the estethics Anyway keep cool

Okay but I have a big problem; The mags disapeared from my tent; I can propose you a ghillie (&/or anything you need ) as a compensation by means of principles I would take the Dragunov without the ammo.
