He means add it to the main hive. As a rare spawn, I don't see why not... or the gold AKM. But on the other hand, adding golden weapons brings us one step closer to: They don't add a lot of weapons, they probably have their reasons. I want a PKM.

Clothing selection right now is rather weak, that's the nature of the game. When Standalone comes out, I'mma be jammin' in my Louboutins.

Bullet wounds are horribly unrealistic
-Gews- replied to Ozelot (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I call them 'peregrines'. -
No way, could have sworn it was a 75x640mm Pzgr.42. Nice kills by the way. :thumbsup:
-
It's a .45 ACP.
-
Another issue with weapon damage - how do we know what values to plug in? How much more effective is a 7.62 than a 5.56? In real life, I haven't shot a bunch of people with both calibers trying to compare them. We have to go largely on gut feeling when talking about stopping power. We can draw on hunting experience and numerous tales from Army vets going back to the First World War, but opinions on "stopping power" are mostly that - opinions. Another problem is the issue of certain weapons always knocking people out / always killing / always not killing until 3 hits, etc. Make it more random, devs. Introduce some kind of percent chance system or whatever.

-Gews- replied to Ozelot (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Yes, so... we should continue trying. I don't think we need hospital stays in the game, that sort of thing isn't something most people want to experience. It's not hard to improve weapon lethality, and look at how good a job the ACE mod did with modifying wounding system. You obviously shouldn't be able to take an entire magazine from a handgun. I want to see more short-term wounding effects, even long-term, but not to the point of requiring a player to go to physical therapy sessions for several months. -

On the other hand, if realistic wounds are not enjoyable, why don't we make the game more like BF3 or Halo, or something where you can take many bullets without dying? It would make firefights last longer and give people more opportunity to survive. -

There would be too much whining. I would like to see more realistic wounds, but keep in mind DayZ was never intended to be fully realistic (why else would Rocket give players twice the usual amount of health?), it was intended to give an "authentic" experience, meaning a realistic feel and tone. Bohemia Interactive improved the damages for ArmA, but that messed things up for DayZ. Although I'm not sure why the DayZ mod didn't simply change the values to suit the increased player health. -
The infamous Novy Sobor spawn. :lol: You should be able to get out by rolling around, vaulting, and generally making your character spazz in all directions.

I like sniping, gets my kill count up and helps me fill those sheets of paper! :thumbsup:

Arma 3 lauch day 5 (and question about dayz) edit* wasteland already port
-Gews- replied to aoshi's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I don't think Stratis would be good for DayZ, because there are almost no towns! Look at the map... that's what DayZ standalone is for. There probably will be a DayZ mod for Stratis, but will it be any good? Time will tell... -
I kind of skimmed over the main points of the post (have to get back to A3 Alpha) but I would support more non-functioning cars as loot spawns. The problem is that more cars can impact performance, and then you'd probably have people complaining about the abundance of useless cars. The traps idea is a good one, but there would have to be an element of randomness to them to prevent people from quickly learning how to get by them and never bothering again.
-
The vast majority of players do not want to see NPCs in DayZ. NPCs break immersion because NPCs are usually dumb. The only reason zombies don't break immersion is because they're zombies, and they're supposed to be dumb.
-
And is it just me or is one of the zombies trying to say "I'm dying!"
-
No jump! People only want jumping when they're used to jumping in other games. Seriously, how often do people jump in real life...
-
What would YOU like to see in Standalone?
-Gews- replied to Puffy's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
There are so many threads like this, but I never get bored of typing out my daydreams. ^_^ 1. No hacking! 2. Better, scarier zombies 3. Better wounding system 4. More hunting/civilian/criminal organization weapons and rifles, less strictly military rifles (but still a fair amount of them) 5. Much more complicated sniping system, incl. wind and correct scope adjustments. -
This was suggested before. It's a good suggestion. I don't think it's far-fetched. It would be awesome for drive-by shootings. People do it in real life, as well. Right now you either have to stop the car and get out, or hope you don't get hit as you drive away. Defenseless.

Just Some Ideas Stuck Inside my Head for DayZ
-Gews- replied to Goreman's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
I wanna horse. Or a pony. I wanna ride around like a Soviet border guard. -
New item suggestion - Maxipads - self fulfilling I know but still...
-Gews- replied to MaxiPad (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
I found a picture of the OP! But no, I don't think Maxi pads should be in the game. Why? Just look at the reaction it's got on here... -
No, progression systems and experience points do not belong in DayZ! They need to make the zombies more dangerous, or make them hang around the places you want to be, so you actually need to kill them if you aggro a bunch while looting a store, etc. That will be hard to do as long as zombies can't run indoors.

An-2, Introduced a couple patches ago, ne one found a legit one?
-Gews- replied to theneonirvana's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I love flying An-2s, I haven't found a legit one, but we've all found hacked ones, right? I like landing An-2s as well. The problem is taking off again... for serious purposes, I'd want a chopper. For fun... well, the An-2 makes me feel like Indiana Jones. They need to include an inflatable raft with it! -
New item suggestion - Maxipads - self fulfilling I know but still...
-Gews- replied to MaxiPad (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Good idea. I want to see some Tampax Pearl Compaks myself. -
What's up with people wanting to find No PvP servers?
-Gews- replied to recklesspanz's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
That would be fine, except there's absolutely no challenge presented by the DayZ zombies, so I still don't understand it. PvE in ArmA I understand - there are dozens of AI soldiers trying to kill you and they stand a good chance of doing so. More importantly, there's actually a mission, an objective, to finish. What's the excitement in shooting the same old boring, easy-to-kill, always respawning zombies? :huh: -
"Butt" seriously, as far as I know, it's completely useless. It's just there to introduce a bit more variety to the loot, makes things more interesting and helps with immersion.
