    Question to Rocket: Gun nerfing

    Good stuff, I misunderstood the term. Sounds more like what I was hoping for on my original essay of a post. Cheers, top marks for a great introduction to the game. Go get yourself a bag of skittles! (Any chance of skittles being introduced into the game?)

    Weirdest spawn so far

    Ive seen a couple of strange spawns playing the game, some of my strangest ; - middle of the sea miles out on the coast - Otmel island - Off map middle of nowhere with no gear - Ground hog style respawn for 2 weeks every re-log in at the same place at Electro - Spawned yards away from a boat - Spawned on the coast as a group were running past me. I managed to mingle in without anyone noticing me!

    Question to Rocket: Gun nerfing

    I like the sound of the relative damage system. That could really lead to some tense stand offs and really adds another dimension to killing for loot! Im looking forward to seeing this in the game. Also pleased to hear the weapons will be objects capable of having diffrent attributes according to attachments. However I am worried this might lead teh game being a bit like BF3 in terms of weapons - everyone playing for the uber M4 CQB SD laser powered sataliette guided muzzle suppressed RIS and foregrip , with night vision and thermal sights... The game should be about survival however necessary, not about style and who has the coolest weapon attachments.

    Question to Rocket: Gun nerfing

    One of the problems people have with snipers now is the fact they are so common. There’s several reasons for them being common, but aside from the obvious duping problem meaning there’s a greater number available, the main issue is there’s no reason NOT to have them when you find them, i.e . there’s no significant negative effects to sniping, unlike in real life. That leads to another problem whereby the commonality of the heavy military grade sniper rifles means that some people feel they NEED to carry a sniper rifle to combat the sheer numbers of foes who are likely to be using them, so the weapon becomes a necessity rather than a weapon of choice. I’d be disappointed if weapons weren't heavily reworked for stand alone release to combat this kind of pit-fall in the game. I can understand why weapons such as the pistols have been nerfed a little presently to combat it but the point is things need to be better BALANCED. I think part of this balance is to first of all to make guns to be more realistic in terms of power, range, ballistics etc. therefore handguns should be fatal usually within 1-2 shots when in effective range. This means you give correct strengths and weaknesses to guns. Yes, handguns become lethal with 1 to 2 shots in most cases, but I really don’t think there’s as much of a problem with this now as there’s more servers and less hot spot congenstion. Also with full release there will be hopefully more things to loot/scavenge for and more locations to do them hopefully spreading more hot spot locations, effectively dissolving massive player concentrations at close range better. However there’s also going to need to the correct counter balances for the benefits of each gun, so in the case of hand guns this is that they are low range, lower powered (so body armour could be introduced), inaccurate (no cross hairs or aiming aims so range does become a real issue), slower rates of fire, loud (this really really needs to be a major factor! ALL fire arms should be like ringing a dinner bell!), and low amounts of bullets mean need for more magazines. To aid balance for all firearms therefore I feel the gun, the magazines and the ammunition should all be separate entities that have to be individually scavenged or looted. So for example in case of the handguns, yes you can have a nice powerful Desert Eagle sure, but you need to scavenge yourself the gun first (that is probably going to be uncommon), the magazines (again uncommon) and then the .50 rounds to go with it. Then it’s going to be a bit of a chew on having to reload the 7 round magazines constantly with new .50 cal rounds. Equally, if you want the AS50 you would need to find the rifle, risking encountering bandits who already have it, or searching likely spawn locations (again that are going to be dangerous themselves). Then you would need to scavenge magazines capable of fitting that gun, and finally the /50 cal rounds that fit that gun. If you only have one mag, once all 5 rounds have been spent in that mag, time would be needed to load another 5 rounds into the single magazine you have. This is why greater emphasis needs to be put on a wider range of largely civilian based weapons to again counter balance and give greater option to those who don’t really want the head ache fire arms bring. . Greater emphasis should be put on lower tier weapons such as melee weapons such hammers, pipes, crow bars, escalating to hatchets, axes, machettes and swords. Then you should have your various common handguns, lots of shotguns and low calibre and common hunting rifles gradually escalating to less common military grade weapons and ammos. Additionally, higher end guns should need more dedicated care and attention, so equipment such as oil and rags would be needed to keep them in good condition. If the guns are wet or in a poor state of maintenance the gun should be prone to misfires and total breakages. This would be another counter balance for the effectiveness of these guns. Finally , partially an inventory issue, but the weight of these guns should also be a factor. A big .50 cal rifle is going to be heavy and cumbersome to drag around a post apocalyptic world! That’s an extra 20kg plus! Having weight restrictions to characters/packs/vets/slings should be factored in. So in order to carry the .50cal there would be a significant balance to be made in the form of having to sacrifice other heavy or cumbersome items on your person and movement should be slower.
  14. No, not at all if you read through my history of posts here. It's just that I've played this game for a while now and been on these forums for just as long and see a lot of these type of posts that seem to say nothing but "hey I play this way because I'm awesome". The game is sandbox and that means it's upto you how you play and it's upto the next guy how he plays and takes enjoyment from the game. Either way is fine, there is no right way and there is no wrong way. Equally there's no need to come here to tell people that one way is crap, one way is awesome or boast that this is what you do.... just go do it! In my personal experience i think it tends to be those who can't do it, talk about it more anyway!
  15. Point of thread other than boasting and self ego inflation?

    Cannabundo using Global Ban bypass

    Just to stress this menace is in fact simply an affiliate of our community, not a full member of our clan. We don't have many rules but we do insist on common sense and fair play so this guy will be black balled from our community and associated servers.

    Barbed Wire Gone 2 Far

    As I've said before, until better fortification and barracading systems are developed in the full release, it's pointless having barbed wire as it's rarely used properly and it's generally only used in oppertunity to inconvinence other players. Players rarey go to scavenge specifically looking for it (although I accept it does happen as our own groups do this to protect base camps) but more commonly find it in a warehouse and just use it because it's there, causing an annoyance to other gamers! as tI saw it doesnt even stop Zombies and doesnt cause damage to players, so the only thing it actually does do is blocks players getting into certain buildings, not even buildings of significance or buildings being used as a base in most cases. Even when it is used properly, peole only ghost round it anyway!

    Lets play DayZ! Look for some people.

    Hi there we're the BSB Network, a social gaming community that has a good number of players supporting Day Z. We're hosting many smaller groups within the game and presently undergoing the process of organising a larger scale community group within the game operating fire teams, safe zones etc. We're a stable and established community that was setup in 2002 (so we're not a fly by night ad-hoc clan or anything!) and we're just a good community of gamers looking for fun games. We have no age, skill or time requirements, all we ask is for players to be fair and have a bit of common sense. We use TS3 and have our own community website with members from all over the world. Most of our members are over the age of 20 (well over in most cases!) but we do have some mature younger players too! If you're interested in joining in our groups in Day Z go to our website or hop on our Public TS3 server any time; www.bsbnetwork.com Our recruitment/advertisement topic on this forum can be found here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/48408-bsb-network-recruiting/#entry462503
