:lol: I have to ask... why not play ArmA? Dayz has no purpose without human interaction since the zombies are too easily escaped.

Shotgun damage should be instant kill, and potential for multiple kills.

S&B 2-3/4 12 pellet. -
It would be cool if they added in wind effects for all weapons. It's a lot harder to snipe at long range in ACE than in vanilla ArmA, especially if you don't have a Kestrel 4500 wind meter.

The only time I've wanted single-player was so that I could practice with the Winchester at different ranges.
-
Good idea, I like it. :thumbsup: There are some good servers which have messages such as "Big Timmy WAS KILLED BY Zoboomafoo WITH WEAPON MELEE HATCHET" and that annoys me. I don't mind it saying "Big Timmy was killed", but the server shouldn't give away the name of the killer. Takes away suspense.
-
Oh, also, they need to rework the sound for the big .50s. Especially the AS50

Shotguns shouldn't have automatic "instant kill" capability. Potential for multiple kills seems silly to me, shotguns don't spread out that much. Sure, there is a tiny chance of that happening, but it should not be common. This is the spread of a riot-type shotgun with 00 buckshot at 25 yards. -
:lol: The other day I saw a freaking destroyer sitting beside the Cherno tower. The thing was about 4 stories high and three blocks long.

True. Winchester: Enfield:

Best current Deals on Arma II:CO /or Dayz Standalone
-Gews- replied to BigEdMan's topic in New Player Discussion
I got it on Steam for $14.99. I don't like Steam or the fact I can't run my game without Steam (it hasn't caused any problems at all so far, I just don't like relying on an outside service to run my game) but the deal was too good to resist. -
Like another poster on here pointed out, scoped guns should actually be more common. Look at your average hunting rifle. And in Russia, a common hunting rifle is the Tigr. Does it remind you of something? B)

They're hackers? I can't do counter-hacker work.
-
Interesting idea. What types of RVs would they use in Chernarus? I'm assuming it wouldn't be a Winnebago.
-
What weapons or vehicles would you like to see in the standalone?
-Gews- replied to -Gews-'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
The "hatchet" in the game is more of an axe. I think it should be downsized a bit. No no no no no. Have you ever tried throwing a throwing knife, much less a hunting knife? Go try. And then try that at a moving target. Nobody throws knives in combat. Even commandos with Fairbairn-Sykes daggers didn't throw knives in combat. It would be a totally unrealistic addition. Who knows, a bullet is very destructive though and has the advantage of penetration. That would be a rather large knife, too, the one in the game looks like a SOG Seal Pup which has a blade just under 5 inches long. The problem with most knives in video games is that they are too powerful. It's not easy to kill someone with a knife, and killing them immediately would be even harder. A lot of times people don't even realize they've been stabbed until after a fight. -
No, optics weapons should not be "nerfed". Every scope should not be broken.That's stupid. People should stop complaining and realize some weapons are better than others. Upset your Winchester doesn't compare to an M14 DMR? Sorry, can't be helped.

-Gews- replied to -Gews-'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
In any case, stabs shouldn't be more powerful than shots from handguns (in my opinion). I think handguns need to be more powerful, too. -
^This. A server without PVP would be yawn-inducing. I don't see the point of that, in this game. There's no danger from zombies.
-
I'm really curious to see what new items and capabilities players have.
-
Banned for No reason? I've never hacked and dont understand..
-Gews- replied to Fapulous's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
1. Someone on your PC has hacked 2. A hacker has stolen your CD key -
I try to aim, sometimes lag and nerves get the better of me. One situation where I won't use the sights is when I'm injured (without painkillers) on servers with crosshairs. Or when I spent an hour practicing with my DMR in ArmA 2 and when I logged in I got shot in the back and lose everything, M4 CCO, Coyote pack, binos, all neccessities. After that I just ran around aimlessly. :lol:
-
Mmmm yes, apparently I was spawning such things as AS50 ammunition, bear traps, and mountain dew. Except I never did any of that. I don't hack. That list doesn't even make sense, who would want to spawn 50 ghillies and dozens of rotors? IF I was a hacker, I'd have something better than a coyote patrol pack and a Winchester with 23 shots. That list has been falsified.
-
I admit it doesn't really seem realistic, maybe it should be something for the private servers. The Heavy machine guns are a lot more scary in ACE. :thumbsup: ...then again, if you can find an AS50 or a Huey...?
-
I'd like to see a rare DShK just once, just for giggles. That would be scary as hell.
-
I don't see why it needs to be balanced, sniping isn't balanced. That's the whole point of sniping.
-
I should have clarified, I meant "shouldn't kill instantly". Like I said there should be rapid blood loss. It feels unrealistic to be shot in the foot and fall down stone dead. I don't think standard .50 ball would cut someone in half; there are many people who have survived being hit in various places by .50s. If a man was cut in half they must have been using explosive rounds like Raufoss. I saw a video where someone tested .50 FMJ on a dead deer and it produced a nearly fist-sized hole.
