For those who played DayZ mod prior to v1.62 you might remember the situation PVP found itself in. Every gun had realistic damage values and it made for quick and almost one-sided combat. The common Lee Enfield and M1911 were the kings of player killing, dealing 12000 and 4000 damage respectively when players only had 12000 blood. Those among a long list of other weapons received massive damage decreases which allowed for the PVP we are familiar with today in the DayZmod. As it stands weapons just do too much damage in the SA. The M4 two(three)-shots, and the Mosin one-shots. With the addition of scope customizability you can basically make these weapons better or equal to the best weapons DayZ mod had to offer at a fraction of the rarity. The FN Fal was the only assault rifle to offer two-shot potential and most players who didn't put their lives into the game probably never got to fire one, and 1 shot snipers like the AS50 were almost unheard of post private hives if not banned completely due to its one-shot capabilities. Once more weapons come out and loot tiers are introduced it will almost seem like a moot point with current damage models as with the proper equipment everything you need can be found on the coast. This needs to change. With the introduction of the SKS which is basically a semi-auto Mosin we can also assume this weapon will have one-shot potential. It's just too much! Either increase health to it's original values or nerf weapon damage dramatically - we need to be able to react to aggression. I'm all for realism but dying immediately even at long ranges just losses its fun factor after the umpteenth time. M4's damage should be set at 1000-1500 depending on the closeness.. and the Mosin be reduced to 2500 damage and needs to be have its effective range reduced to 600-700 with a scope to give breathing room to higher-tier sniper rifles. What do you think?

This is the internet. People are going to act weird no matter whats between your legs. People are going to act weird and harrass because you sound gay, sound young, sound like a girl, sound like you're angry, sound like your frail, sound like you're fat, voice crack - basically if you sound like you're anything but Captain America you are GOING to get harassed at some point in your online career. The only difference is if you sound like 6/7 of those things chances are you won't be given special treatment as well as harassment because of the way you sound. Girls need to stop acting like its grand heresy when something that literally happens to everybody, happens to them.. AND PEOPLE NEED TO STOP ACTING LIKE ITS A GRAND HERESY WHEN SOMEONE ACTS LIKE THIS TO GIRLS, AND NOT TO EVERYBODY ELSE. Seriously - stop white knighting. Either fight for the people, or fuck off and play the game like everybody else. You don't get to cherry pick heroic fights, and ignore the rest.

hundreds.

Great, if it works.

I don't understand why people even allow bambi's to approach. Moving towards someone period is a threatening action, nevermind the implication. Keep your distance, talk to them if you want to but at the end of the day if they break that 15 foot line the only thing their fists are going to hit is the ground.

I'm really partial to the plain olive green stuff. Makes me feel WW2-ey

Nothing makes me happier than being in an intense firefight with someone to have them disappear behind something and actually BE THERE when I take that corner. Even if I die it's a worthwhile experience vs. the hundred times I'd take that same corner to find a logger.

I had a very weird experience on East 1-8 with a few friends and it seemed very fishy. We were in electro completely geared out and we bumped into a group of 3-4 who were geared to the teeth as well. Two of us were in the backroom of the grocery store and two of us were sniping/overwatching in the hills above the grocery store. After a little fight I ended up killing one of the guys coming into the grocery store and then proceeded to die from a mosin shot, and then our snipers took down two of their guys on top of the little sniper hill. As soon as I hear a confirmed death of the guys on the hill I began running back from Solnichniy when all of a sudden I hear my friends "What the fuck is going on?" and then I see 5 players disconnect from the server 'losing connection'. 3 of them just so happen to be my friends. No battleye issues came up and no explanation was found for why they got booted but when they came back a second time they were immediately booted. They waited 30 seconds and joined a third time and when they finally got into the server every single one of them were shot to death before they could react. They were all split up a fair bit around the terrain (probably separated by 200m) yet they all died to gunshots within 5 seconds of login. One of my friends even spawned in bleeding and saw a guy standing over him before he got shot. Is this possibly admin abuse or do official servers not have admins..?

Seems there has been a massive influx of hackers/scripters lately. My last 3 days of play ended with hacker interaction. Once with a guy who teleported on me and my friend who proceeded to 'lock' our weapons so we couldn't pull anything but our fists out, and tried to box us both to death. Another was this incident here and just together I had a guy with a revolver teleport in 5 different locations within 10 seconds, 2 of those locations being right beside me and a friend who then proceeded to shoot us both in the head. It's getting kind of ridiculous. Running VAC, and BE on a supposedly much more locked down client/server system then in the mod and yet we're still seeing it just as prevalent. I'm glad private hives will be out soon, at least they kept them decently locked down with consistently admins and 3rd party anti-hack.

My own gripe with it is the scrolling. I really wish I could see everything I have at a glance and not having to scroll down in my own inventory. It's my inventory, not a browser window.

Honestly for how many moving parts there are to find it is horribly disappointing as a weapon. Finding bullets and the pistol is alright but finding that mag is literally searching for diamonds on the riverbed. If they want to make it so damn hard to put together they need to increase it's capabilities.

yes.. no.

I seriously doubt we'll be seeing a complicated mechanic like anti combat-logging before we see absolutely basic dayz features like respawning loot.

Where's the "Increase player count" option!

Every single one of these sounds should be included in the SA. Dean with would unwise to ignore this.

You can expect graphical glitches to be ironed out. IMO pretty much everything but the engine can be fixed or added given time. I have my doubts on if this game will ever run smoothly on even top tier system tho.

I made a post about this exact thing, and got reasonably negative feedback. Here you go!: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/160598-spawn-changes-too-soon/

30 seconds isn't big enough a delay for a game like DayZ where just your general location is necessary, plus a large amount of viewers enjoy interacting with the streamer and adding even a 2-3 minute delay would kind of destroy that.

I can agree it's bullshit but it's probably on the bottom of the board of priorities to fix. Some of these streamers make THOUSANDS of dollars a month playing a video game - a little foul play aint gonna ruin it for them. Seriously... I watched Lirik for an hour and a half yesterday and in subscribers (at $2's each) and shoutout board messages at $2 dollars each he made over 200 dollars in an hour and a half.,.. playing a video game.

Cars are convenient but they also make you a massive target. It can take you hours to find the parts needed to build a car if you don't have a large group helping you, and it can take a couple seconds and 3 well placed shots for that car to belong to someone else.

The term Carebear has been around since WoW PVP. It's basically someone who has no interest in player vs player interactions whatsoever and want to be 'friendly' and work together with everybody.

He entertained the idea of adding it to Chernarus+ but at this point with the massive revamp to the map already and the very alpha state of the game adding another landmass isn't going to be doing anybody any favors. Not to mention how would you get there?

Unfortunately unless you figured out how to reproduce it this is the kind of glitch that won't be fixed for a good while. Random bugs are hard to nail.

It's definitely a known bug. I've lost 5 fully kitted characters so far to this bug and it's not fun!

Where do you find it? I'm always having a difficult time finding it off anything but players.
