Yup, afraid of that happening. I'd like to see third-person removed or maybe a "screenshots only" version implemented, but as long as other people have it enabled I'm going to use it too... I'm not willing to die for my beliefs! :D

I always use third-person. The only exception is in special scenarios where third-person doesn't work, like if I'm hiding in a bush. Third-person has saved my ass many a time... watching people run towards me from behind a fence or car or tall grass, or watching snipers from behind a stone wall, for example. It would be silly to handicap myself if everyone else is using third-person.

Agh, I get that sometimes and it's extremely annoying. Can ruin everything.

Don't point the muzzle at anything you don't intend to destroy and keep your finger off the trigger?

Someone would actually pay $60 to spawn with an M14? Jesus. "There's another one born every minute!"

The mines in ArmA only blow up when a heavy vehicle drives over them... and I mean heavy. It seems like it basically has to be armoured and at least 8 tons. I think it would be more realistic to just include IEDs.

Canadians don't even need their gamma or brightness turned up to see at night in DayZ. Something to do with government rules on LCD screens.

:| Well, they're certainly out there.

So basically MP5s for everyone?

Almost nobody uses tracers for shooting, most shooting ranges ban their use as well, and snipers don't use tracers.

We should have an Obrez in DayZ Standalone. As you can see it's basically a sawn-off Mosin-Nagant (although I've seen sawn off Lee-Enfields as well). This example has been sawn off ridiculously close to the muzzle. It probably had a massive muzzle flash, a punch-you-in-the-face concussive wave and extremely low performance. I can't even believe how closely they've cut it in the above example, it's almost as bad as having no barrel at all. This is probably a more typical example:

Yes. :lol:

If they have a hatchet they're getting bumped off. I learned my lesson about survivors with hatchets... from both sides. That's how I got a Mk 48 Mod 0 once.

I had an experience with Russians where one started talking Russian over side chat and everyone was telling him to shut up. I didn't mind it; everything sounds serious when you say it in Russian.

Maybe there should be a "DayZ ID" which would let you add friends and recognize players on a list, but you could change your displayed nickname in game. I'm not comfortable with permanent names.

Great minds think alike. :D http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/119366-new-damage-system/ It definitely has drop now, but it doesn't really affect it until past 400m. 000m: 750 100m: 699 200m: 650 300m: 605 400m: 563 500m: 524 I read somewhere that velocity modifies damage with a linear relationship, so according to that the Enfield would "only" do 4700 blood damage at 500m, but I'm not sure if they changed that or not. I know they changed something to do with damage at long range. By the way ArmA ballistics mean that at longer ranges, bullets travel faster than they do in real life. In real life the bullet would only be going, at the very most, about 460 m/s at 500 meters. More likely closer to 430 m/s. It's unrealistic to expect Bohemia Interactive to model exact real bullet flights since it's extremely complicated and dedicated software for that can cost up to $50 or more. They do a surprisingly good job given the engine limitations.

No unique names! No, no, no! I'm glad I don't have to play as "RainbowDash097x", I like clean nicknames.

Maybe something like a 25% chance of shoving them onto the ground, where you can then knock them out with repeated strikes. And then take their gun and give a coup de grace.

Why would anyone dual wield pistols... it's hard enough to aim one properly. Maybe they should introduce "guns akimbo" and make it have FADE protection accuracy. Edit: wait, Wild Bill used two pistols and he was pretty good with them. Maybe if we also introduce pirates and cowboys.

I don't have a numpad so I couldn't easily use default keys to access the sights on static weapons. I deleted the control for "lock or zoom" and put the right mouse button as the "optics" control, as well as right mouse button and "t" for "optics mode" and it worked OK for me. I also changed "hold breath" to the spacebar and changed the command menu to the tab key. I'm pretty sure I have some conflicting controls though.

Cheat Engine isn't a hack, I googled and some random using Cheat Engine was unbanned by a Shogun: Total War admin so there may be something to this.

No way! You couldn't infiltrate someone's group and shoot them all in the back when they stumble across a camp.

Remove the most popular weapons? That's gonna be popular!
