hahaha "retired professional fps gamer" please move out of your mom's basement already. what a joke.

absolutely retarded. just do yourself a favor and stop posting OP.

I've been playing this game since the start and these major problems have yet to be addressed, here's my take on it: 1) PVP - There's nothing wrong with killing others but, in its current state, PVP is too easy. There's really no strategy or tactics involved in finding an overpowered sniper rifle, camping a hilltop with dozens of rounds of ammo, and taking potshots at passing players. This is exactly what this game DOESN'T need - senseless killing. Solution - cut down on military weapons, remove military-grade sniper rifles altogether. Main arsenal should consist of handguns, civilian shotguns and rifles, and alternative weapons like tranquilizer guns. Excellent thread on alternative weapons http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=8756 Make bandits work for their kills. Give players equal-footing weapons wise and base the outcome of a firefight on skill, tactics, awareness, etc. Not whoever has the more OP gun(mk48! .50 cal! silenced m4!). Military weapons, like AK's - m16's - mp5's, would stay in the game, but become extremely rare, with extremely rare ammo. People using these guns would come to value every bullet and seriously consider the necessity of every potential engagement. If you're going to use these rare guns, you better have a good reason to because odds are you won't find ammo for a long time afterwards. _________________________________________________________ 2) Disconnecting - self-explanatory. Server hopping is a big problem and needs to be fixed ASAP. Solution - a sleep system. Before disconnecting, players need to fall asleep. As soon as the player character enters sleep, players are free to disconnect. However, the player body will actually remain in-play for a set amount of time - like 5 mins. This way DC-ing to avoid combat would be impossible as your sleeping body could still be looted and potentially killed. Upon reconnection, players would have to wait 30 secs. or so before regaining control of their character and waking up. Disconnecting before your player enters sleep(task manager, alt+f4) doesn't save your game. You lose all progress and items since your last successful "sleep". __________________________________________________________ 3) Vehicles - clans stash vehicles off-map limiting their use by everyone else. Solution - tents and vehicles don't "save" off-map. Players can still go up and explore these areas but will not be able to stash equipment/vehicles up there. Normal players would now be able to search for and find vehicles within proper map-boundaries. Would pose a real challenge in maintaining and protecting valuable equipment and vehicles to clans. _________________________________________________________ These following changes are more controversial but I felt like listing them anyways: 1) All servers should be veteran. Players shouldn't see themselves on maps and there should be no name-tags. If possible, the range on name tags should be reduced to 10-15 meters. Groups of players would still be able to identify each other without abusing name-tag scanning. 2) Game should be 1st-person only. Arma has a 3rd person feature because it's primarily a single-player/COOP experience. All PVP gametypes and servers usually disable 3rd person because it's way too easy to abuse. 3)NVG and GPS should be removed completely. _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ Of course dayz is only in alpha and has a long way to go, but I think these pressing issues are capable of being, and should be, fixed as soon as possible. I'd like to know what everyone else has to think, but constructive criticism only. Any insulting/flaming posts will be reported.

that suv is hacked

i think it's safe to assume dayz will have its own custom map in arma 3.

this mod is about player-player interaction. no NPC's

good idea. better than opening direct chat and typing out a welcome message

hmm...thanks for the feedback?

excellent ideas here. as a follow up - farting without toilet paper equipped adds to your "stink" meter, thus alerting nearby zombies and players. toilet paper would only spawn in military barracks and crashed helis with a .000001 chance of appearing. players would also be required to urinate on a frequent basis. while in the process of urinating, sound is maxed out and attracts hordes of zombies. yep love realism.

come on guys he said he was looking for images :D

don't team up with randoms, play with trusted people each person should have a designated role - zombie killer, sniper, etc. divide weapons per class and don't fight over guns/ammo come up with a general "assault" strategy. we like to have 1 person sniping/overwatch, with 2 teams of 2 attacking the objective from different directions as with guns, designate people to carry certain gear. 1 person carries car parts, another is ammo, another is medic, etc. saves time when going through loot because everyone already knows what they're going to carry. don't waste time splitting loot amongst yourselves.

IMO the problem is the ubiquity of OP weapons and ammo. cut down on their numbers drastically and bandits won't be able to afford taking potshots at everyone.

work on your comms. i run with a 10 player group and we rarely have FF incidents.

trololol why is this thread 16 pages long?

congrats you've reached the point in the game where there's seemingly nothing to do. your options: 1) pvp 2)find a team, repair vehicles 3)search for rare items 4)stop playing the game

kobra is better. m14 is too accurate for it's red dot. it would be a lot better with an acog - but at that point it'd just be another dmr

msi afterburner works well. good quality with small file sizes. doesn't record multiple channels of audio though.

the fal is basically a dmr without the scope. seems pointless to have the fal, m14, and dmr all together though.

classes are a bad idea. everyone should be able to craft everything - the rarity of required materials is what encourages teamwork.

i just don't see 2 random dudes hooking up to start a family, female characters or not.

callaghan don't waste your time on him.

dayz is its own thing. no need for comparisons (especially to generic tv shows).

bad idea.
