Mein Gott, people would flip! There were already tons of complaints about the zombies in 1.7.5.1 being eagle-eyed, pull-you-from-your-car monsters, and I found those zombies rather weak myself. :huh: I don't think people would like one-hit infection marathon zombies. I agree they need to be more difficult, though, this is a zombie survival game and surviving the zombies is easier than the first level of Spyro the Dragon.

I play lone pony, so I don't think creating a roadblock would be a good idea when some decked-out clan rolls up with a couple Urals. Plus I like using my gun...

Elektro, people on hospital roof firing into the school... happens all the time. Same thing with the Cherno tower snipers, etc.

Fooled me for a second there, you don't have my beans. Hehehe. Someone get a pic! I have no time for DayZ at the moment but I'm curious to see it.

The hatchet is so freakin' big though, that's probably why it's a primary weapon. Has to be since they used the rifle animation. I'd like to see a normal hatchet like this one and a separate two-handed fire/general-purpose axe, like sp86 suggested in his thread.

My hopes for cars in standalone? Two words: Hood stack!

I don't understand why anyone thinks bandits wouldn't kill on sight. They're bandits. I'm drawing a blank here... Just be glad we don't try to eat you and your children like some of Hollywood's post-apocalyptic bandits:

@LiquidMind: I was also thinking about replacing the current axe (it's too big! not a hatchet) with a large axe that could be found in fire stations, schools, barns, etc, and a one-handed hatchet that would take up less space and could be a secondary weapon. I would like to see a shovel, that would be cool, right now you can't actually dig into the map but that could change in standalone with talk of underground bases and such. In the current engine it could allow people to make a little pile or wall of grassy dirt to hide behind for ambushes and such.

Meh, the AK-107 in the game has a similar balanced recoil system and it's not that OP, I don't see why Bohemia would make an AEK-971 handle much differently than an AK-107. I'm guessing not many people know how it actually handles, they're not exactly common ^_^ Of course it's not in Vanilla DayZ, but still...

I said that in DayZ and jumped off the Cherno tower to avoid a sniper. I don't think history is going to repeat itself in that case...

"Easter eggs break my immersion", whined the randoms.

We don't like balancing weapons here, this is supposed to be a realistic game. The AN-94 has semi-automatic, burst and full-auto firing modes. If an AN-94 were introduced to the game, it would include all those modes too. I don't see why the AN-94 couldn't be a rare spawn, but someone would have to make an AN-94 first. There are a few addons out there...

Rocket said we can play it the way we want to, so I don't really care. Why would anyone need a Mk.48 Mod 0 for zombies? Also I play survival, I stay alone in the woods 90% of the time, away from folks. :ph34r: If I see anybody I will probably hunt them down or shoot at them, depending. I don't go to Elektro and shoot everyone running to the powerstation, I'm a Northern dweller. Stop cramping my playstyle, I'mma tell Big Macintosh on you!

It's not about persuasion or avoiding conflict. Call me a CoD deathmatcher if you will (I've never played CoD), but sometimes I just want to get some freakin' kills at any cost! I don't even care about their loot, I just want their beans. The metaphorical type. Shooting armed people makes me feel like this: (That's the Canadian bandit victory dance. See the headscarf? Whoo-yah!)

I doubt Chernarus is a NATO member seeing as the CDF's standard rifle is the AK-74. The backstory may change in the Standalone...

Mine is... Hmm. Mine's "bean king". I don't think I should change it to what I have it set to on other forums... ^_^

I use iron sights almost always, exceptions would be if the grass is blocking my view of the target or if I'm very close and it would be more effective to just use the crosshairs. Another rare exception would be if my ghillie suit is blocking my FN FAL sights. I hate that! Of course I never hip fire on CH:OFF servers.

Didn't notice this... boo, we are the DayZ forums! <_< Bohemia will probably add a subforum but I've noticed a lot of scorn directed at DayZ from (some of) the people over there.

I criticized Arma 3... :ph34r: Iranians using Israeli weapons? Haven't played it, but still... Obviously everyone is going to be defensive about criticism of the standalone because we're on a DayZ forum, we tend to like DayZ. ^_^

Exactly, and there should be a method of sharpening it. Maybe they could add in oilstones or waterstones or a rare EdgePro spawn! And there should be a few different hunting knives as well, maybe something like a Buck 119 in 420HC on the lower end (goes dull faster) and maybe a Bark River in 154CM or similar for the mid range, and a very hard-to-find Bob Dozier or Randall or something on the higher end! Heh. No. But the "uses left" makes more sense than the "chance" system.

Be careful of death logging as well as combat logging... maybe the new abort system is meant to try to fix that as well?

No, no, no, because Bohemia fucked up with the damage values for the 9x39mm. However, a realistic and properly functioning 9A-91? Yes, please! (I remember it from my Ghost Recon 1 days).

I've played DZS, and those zombies are absolutely TERRIFYING. I don't know about hacking, but I know I've been hacked plenty of times on Wasteland. Probably about as much as DayZ... Agreed, but people would flip shit if their particular favorite gun was gone... so would I. Gotta tread carefully there. :lol: I think you're coming down a bit too harsh on them though. They can't reveal everything they're doing, and I'd buy it based solely on the changes announced so far.

I like your sig.
