    Jump!

    For the love of God, no! The SA is going to be Zombiefield 3 at this rate.

    Spawn in groups.

    I'm against this as it promotes the team deathmatch style of play and KOS mentality.

    So rocket, a western city eh?

    And you could model the zombies by filming the locals for 15 minutes after the pubs chuck out.

    Graphic bug? please help !

    Disable Anti-Aliasing and set Anisotropic Filtering to Low or Medium.
  5. Shotguns are somewhat messed up with some slugs having a range of 250 metres (which is at least 100 metres optimistic, even with a red-dot sight), but half the damage of a 7.62 NATO rifle. Going on muzzle energy alone, both a 12g slug and a standard 7.62x51 NATO FMJ round generate around 3,500 Joules; so the damage and terminal effects should be at least equal on paper. The Winchester 1866 should cause the same damage as the M1911/Revolver, but out to the current 150 metres range it already has. Effective ranges of pistols in DayZ are 7 sorts of messed up, by the way, with most having ranges of 75 metres (50 metres too far).

    Vehicle Improvements

    Shooting out of a vehicle window or from the back of open vehicles such as pick-up trucks or Urals should be allowed, but with a huge accuracy penalty due to vehicles bouncing all over the place at speed. This is why military vehicles have belt-fed weapons fitted.
  7. Yes, nobody ever hides out the West of Zelengorsk, so there's no point anyone ever searching this area for survivors or their camps. I'm glad we cleared this up.

    Thoughts on the M107 / AS50

    Sorry about that.. There should be uber rare in DayZ - only 1 active per server as only.

    Horse sound?

    Thank you all! I thought I was having Ketamine flashbacks from the 1990s! It's definitely a horse snorting and I only hear it I the woods. Very different from the startled pigeon/dove/teal taking off sound heard if you enter the forest running. Male deer make a very similar snorting noise, but only when in rut.

    Disadvantages To Carrying/Using AS50/M107

    A weight-based endurance system make more sense. Travel light? You can run further before getting out of breath and burn less calories, so need to eat less frequently. Pack mule? Limits your mobility and burns more calories.

    Thoughts on the M107 / AS50

    Fill Wasteland with all the super weapons that the BF3/CoD you want, but these should be
  12. All those female pistol, rifle and shotgun shooters I've stood next over the years must be the odd ones out then.
  13. No. DayZ isn't BF2 + Project Reality.

    Spawn in random buildings/houses around the map

    Not for me as I had this experience at least once a week during the mid 1990s..

    Your Shoot On Sight Threshold?

    If you haven't seen me and aren't hunting fresh spawns, I'll let you pass on by. I reserve the right to change my mind the moment I think you're hunting me or are a forward scout for a squad. If you've seen me and have a long gun, you're getting shot. If you've seen me and approach me with a pistol or hatchet equipped, you get shot if you don't heed my warning over Direct Voice. If you've seen me and approach me unarmed and don't respond to Direct Voice, you get shot if you try to follow me when I back off.

    ALWAYS Listen to a woman in DayZ

    She sounds about 12. Children shouldn't be seen or heard.

    You too? We should form a club and get t-shirts made up.

    Dual wielding, smoke grenades, and flashbangs

    Dual wielding? Watched "Equilibrium" one time too many have we?

    Armor and equipment

    As long as your character suffers a weight/mobility penalty proportionate to the armour worn, that's fine by me. And you'll not be running far in an NBC suit and respirator. Your armour stopping a bullet shouldn't result in your character being knocked unconscious. Knocked over/down yes, but not knocked out. Current issue ballistic helmets are only rated to stop direct hits from 9mm pistol rounds.

    Running and Switching Guns...

    My question was for MacarbreLlama99. On the subject of transistions, any sort of makeshift sling would allow you to simply let go of your primary and draw your secondary. Drawing from a thigh holster while moving isn't easy though. Possibly why experienced gunfighters mount their secondaries on battle belts or on the front of their plate carriers now that modern holsters allow it.

    Running and Switching Guns...

    Can you remove one rifle from a rucksack and swap it with the one you're holding at a dead run?

    DayZ Animal Suggestion

    I wants me some honey badger in DayZ. A town full of zombies? Bandits with AS50s? Helicopters? Skiddies? Hackers? Spunktrumpet admins on private hives? Doesn't matter because honey badger doesn't give a f***.

    DayZ commander being a pain in the arse.

    Do you have ARMA 2 running via Steam? Have you checked the Settings tab in Day Z Commander to check that it s pointing at the correct locations for your ARMA 2 files?

    A PSA for DayZ players

    I think the Chernarus Department of Public Safety needs to launch an in-depth investigation into the growing concern that having an AS50 and being a combat logging spunktrumpet are somehow related.
