    Sound Mod acceptance

    Yes, sounds need a big improvement. The default sounds aren't great, they're not very loud, and what's with the AS50? I like the sounds in ACE as well, they seem much more lifelike, especially the buzzing in your ears and the temporary deafness. It can't be very hard to improve a few sounds...

    a substitute for the "side chat"

    It would be pretty funny to have megaphones or LRADs in-game. There would probably be people playing "Call Me Maybe" on loop over Elektro, though. I like the radio idea, that would allow players to group up more easily, too, especially for people who don't have Teamspeak. Side chat in DayZ = Global chat, because every single person is on BLUFOR.

    Say no to discrimination

    There were several Koreans chirping away in sidechat on a US private hive this night and earlier a Russian gamer tried to join a game and was kicked off by Battleye.
  4. The M14 is easily the best of those. The others are either not as powerful or too cumbersome.
  5. I like the CZ, I got a guy on the tower at 800m with it the other day, and a couple more in the factory staircase. It sucks compared to every other sniper rifle, though. I like the DMR the best only because it's compatible with night vision, plus I have a little card with where to aim out to 1000m.

    Does sidechat ruin anyone elses game?

    Sometimes I like side chat since it can be rather boring running for 20 minutes without seeing or hearing from anyone. It gets bad other times, though, especially with people making dirty jokes over VOIP.
  7. So ignore reality and make them all essentially single-shot weapons? Not happening. One thing they could do is to increase the encumbrance of the weapon a bit so that it is slower to point. Actually it's pretty easy, you can change damage, rate of fire, caliber, etc, in just a couple minutes.
  8. I've been killed a lot more in Elektro and the players there have seemed slightly better equipped.
  9. On some servers I've been playing on they have global text that reads "Ignore 'marked for global ban' and similar messages. They originate from script-kiddies trying to scare legitimate players". Not sure if that applies in your case since you appear to have been actually kicked off or banned.

    Helicopter music

    Boom, boom, boom, boom http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7-4wFSjhtU
  11. I hadn't played any games for about a year and was really bored so I decided to try to find something to do, downloaded "The Hunter" and it was boring and the trees were rendered as green cubes by my graphics card, so I downloaded "America's Army 3" and it was a terrible mistake, so I downloaded... And so it continued until I downloaded ArmA 2 Free and it was good. With the editor, there wasn't much I couldn't do... except DayZ. I was gonna just buy Operation Arrowhead but luckily Steam had a sale and I got both for peanuts.

    Squads and Armoured Vehicles

    3 bronies. B) But yeah, it would be cool to load people into the bed of a pickup.
  13. And read this, as well. Apparently most bans on those servers are automatic: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/103204-fr-34-fr-129-raid-wine-servers-thread/
  14. FR 34, huh... :| Reminds me of http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/111309-bandit-auto-kick-script-on-fr34129/

    Wishlist of new weapons.

    Tokarev TT-33 or variant Smith and Wesson 686 Smith and Wesson Model 36 Chief's Special Mosin-Nagant variants More European hunting rifles SAKO TRG-42 DShKM PK series Hilux with DShKM Pickup with PK And I'd like to see guns made deadlier. As it stands you can take 10 rounds of 9x18mm and be fine after eating some "cooked meat" and applying a bandage. What? :huh:

    Squads and Armoured Vehicles

    I became interested in technicals lately and I think it would be a cool idea to add them in, seeing as they are in pretty much every lawless country where people have access to military equipment and vehicles. In real life there don't seem to be many improvised armoured vehicles like in 2017 though, since I guess visibility and maneuverability are considered more important and improvised armour would be either ineffective or too heavy. I'd love to see a Land Cruiser 70 with a DShK. B)
  17. I wonder if zombies can headshot, since when dogs attack you your legs break almost at once because dogs are at leg-level.

    My First Murder & Bandit Kill

    :lol: Looks like you scored a TWS.
  19. I wonder how the zombie models will look in the standalone.
  20. I was playing on "US 3089 (v1.7.4.4/Beta 97448) [Veteran] [3DP:ON] [GMT-7] dayzmod.com - hosted by MOOOCOW | SurvivalServers.com" and I had a death by glitch inside a construction site in Tikhaya Bay (where the two bridges are outside of Kamenka) and had to run back to get all my gear. Strange thing is, there isn't supposed to be a construction site there. I'm used to private hives adding in extra buildings and whatnot, but this was on a public server. It had loot and zombie spawns as well. I checked a couple other servers including dayzmod.com ones and they had no building in that location. Here you can see the building behind the bridges after I lost the zeds following me:

    Zombie animals

    On a side note, I've tried "animal attack" scripts in ArmA and the animals don't seem to be able to run any faster than a human. <_< On the other hand, when a mongrel or Alsatian catches up to you, they break your legs almost instantly.

    what weapons to use

    Some good sniper rifles are the CZ 550, DMR, M24, AS50, M107 and SVD Camo. Normally I just use an Enfield.
