What Do You Think About DayZ DLC's?
-Gews- replied to Devon206 (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I would hope sound packs would come as standard updates as well as weapons. I'd think totally new weapons = totally new map, since that's the way BIS seems to do things with its DLC packs. Way more than DLC though, I'd like mod support at some point. With that, possibilities are endless... and free! -
If you could have 3 things changed or fixed

What Do You Think About DayZ DLC's?
-Gews- replied to Devon206 (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
He said he would like to make a new map at some point. I hope any DLC is along the lines of the PMC, BAF, ACR packs in that it's (a) actually worthwile and (B) you can get "Lite" versions so everyone can play. -
balance idea for high power snipers in Mod/SA
-Gews- replied to rick808's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Since they're already editing the AS50 and M107 ammo, they might as well make a few changes, such as: -give AS50 same damage as M107 -give AS50 same sound as M107 -make AS50 recoil more (currently has same recoil as M4 Carbine) Half my complaints would be solved with those changes... -

Yes, it exists, however it's not commonly used (still can't find a single photo of an AS50 being used in combat anywhere in the world) and it also doesn't fit the setting or tone of the vanilla game at all, IMO. Even if the area was magically rife with .50 caliber anti-materiel rifles I doubt survivors would be willingly carrying them around, they'd be horrible fighting rifles outside of very specific scenarios, scenarios in which the typical "survivor" would pretty much never encounter. -

B-b-but 'Groover, they don't belong... Meh. If they were going to add weapons like the AS50 then I'd like a .577 Tranter to go with my custom Scheutzen in 8.15x46R. And also a little Alpine hat so I can be a badass. -
Actually testing it out, I found a standard ArmA 2 soldier does not have "about" the equivalent of 4500 blood, like zombies do. Shooting various soldiers with pistols, I found they could take about 5500 blood damage (11 Skorpion shots, 7 Makarov shots, 4 1911 shots). However when shooting them with rifles, even a single AK-74 or M16 shot would kill them. So apparently the greater penetration value of the rifle ammunition also allows the ammunition to cause more damage in comparison to the pistols.

The AS50 rounds are overpowered. They're more powerful than some cannon rounds. So... no. -
This is true, they deserve no quarter.

Not the same, everyone respawns and gears up in a couple minutes. First, what am I supposed to do apart from kill people? I'm not exactly a team player, I rarely use a mic and I don't do role-play either. Second, I like killing people.

Is there any way to play DayZ in single player?
-Gews- replied to kevsta545's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Modify the files / download someone else's modification of the files (careful). -
It should also make your player say "who's your daddy?"

What do you think is the best sidearm in DayZ? (besides silenced pistols
-Gews- replied to Storm Slider's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Glock then revolver. I don't like the PDW or the 1911 due to the terrible sights on the PDW and the even worse ones on the 1911. -
Why don't the infected turn on each other?
-Gews- replied to broguenz's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Because that would likely make for terrible game dynamics. ^_^ -
Apparently, we're getting a new gear menu UI. Discuss.
-Gews- replied to colekern's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I see no problem with it. However why is he carrying two pairs of binoculars? -
Yes, and in the spring more Br'er Rabbit, Danny Meadow Mouse and Farmer Brown's Boy por favor.

That is true, however you have to be able to reach their throat first, I imagine that would be rather difficult (I've never tried it).

What will be the first thing that you will do in SA?
-Gews- replied to Malvarik's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
See if the BI editing tools work at all. -
Too bad there's not an in between limping state.

it would be great if we had slower players + zombies
-Gews- replied to link_zl's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Players run over 18 km/h without sprinting, and they keep that speed up. Compare that to the average jogger, who does maybe about 10 km/h. Yeah, players are too fast. -
Bumping this; lately I've been playing Wasteland Takistan quite a lot, the map has long lines of sight and high hills everywhere. Anyways yes, your elevation relative to the target can make a significant difference in where the bullet impacts. Noticed this when using a Mk17, SVD and CZ550, at ranges of about 1,000-1,300 meters when shooting downhill you have much less (apparent) "bullet drop" than normal and have to pretend ranges are about 20-30 meters less than the rangefinder says, otherwise it will go well over the enemies' heads.

You can't throw a straight razor and expect it to actually do any damage, just trust me on that one. It's also not good for much apart from shaving since the edge is so thin. The steel behind the edge can be thinner than a sheet of paper. Cut "knife type" things and you'd dull, chip or otherwise deform it almost immediately. Also in America their use as a weapon was associated with African-Americans. I don't see any use for them apart from shaving, which isn't something you can even do in DayZ. I also think straight razors are an extremely odd lot choice - seriously, who came up with that idea and what in the world were they thinking?

Solution, make the zombies a bit more like this: -
There needs to be many more sound effects but it's possible to overdo things... out of curiosity I looked up some videos of lions eating and even those guys don't seem to make massive amounts of the stereotypical chewing and sucking and slobbering sounds.

What was your highest ever Fps on DayZ?

I got in the mid-40s once when I looked directly at the ground.
