Hi. I have used the magnum in the past. Currently I have an FNX with 2 clips, red dot scope, flashlight, and supressor. I wouldn't even consider tossing it for the revolver. Even if I do wear a cowboy hat. Regards.

Hi. DayZ servers aren't exactly cheap, I can't help but wonder how much of an impact increasing from 40 to 64 will have on pricing. I'd much prefer to see the devs using the new optimizations to increase the number of zeds and get the loot&zed respawning in-game first. But that's just me. Regards.

Hi. I guess I've seen most everything, except as some others have pointed out, the leather jacket. I've spent some hours going through every building in towns searching for it. Not sure if it's even in stable yet as every picture I've seen so far seems to be the same one, which appears to have been taken with a camera. Regards.

Hi. Sorry OP, but as much as I like mods, I would have to say no. This game is far from being ready for modding. Regards.

Hi. I played the mod, and mods of the mod quite a bit. RV engine games have basically been the only action games I spent much time playing since late 2001/early 2002, so yes, I have some experience here. I have always liked playing in the night, even while I don't have NVG's. It just makes you that much more excited when you finally find a set. I understand they are OP, but imho that doesn't cause a problem in a game like DayZ, where there is no sense of balance. In my experience the people who say they won't play in the dark because of NVG's wouldn't play in the dark anyhow. If you don't believe me just take a look at the server list. The majority are crappy 24/7 daytime servers, and generally the only ones that have ANY kind of population are most definitely not at night. Though to be honest, my server assessment is on lower ping close to home servers, For me to play on a hardcore night server I usually have to play higher ping servers. It kind of saddens me really, as I have always preferred the night. Regards.

Hi. Good story, thanks for sharing. In the mod, I once crawled about halfway across the map looking for morphine before getting taken out by a group of bandits, the chumps took about 50 shots to kill me. I probably could have killed them, shaky hands and all, in that amount of time, but after spending literally hours crawling, I said fk it, and welcomed the death lol. This is why I always carry 3 morphine on me now. Regards.

Hi. I don't like to be the antagonist, but why would people complain about the unbalance of NVG's in a game where groups of heavily armed players prey on the unarmed? There is absolutely no balance in DayZ. Balanced PVP only exists in games where you spawn with full gear, in DayZ you need to find your gear before there will be any sense of balance. Even then a lone wolf has to deal with squads of 2-10 players. Is that what you all consider balanced PVP? :facepalm: They are about as balanced as having a teammate heal you from near death in a few seconds mid-battle. The vast majority of players won't even enter servers during the night anyhow. I say bring on the NVG's, it might even get some players willing to play at night. Regards.

Hi OP. I'm guessing your DayZ experience started with the stand alone. If you would have had to deal with the cheats in the mod, you probably wouldn't be so quick to dismiss everything. Guys would join a server, spawn an as50 or whatever loadout they preferred, then teleport to any player on the map and kill them. They would teleport other players to them and kill them. They would drive around in a bus picking up bambis with the promise of free loot, then teleport the bus to an airfield and kill them. Then there were the ones that weren't actually able to hit a moving target, so after emptying a clip, they would press a button in their cheat menu to break their legs, then kill them. lol. Maybe you see a pattern forming here. So yea some people won't be so quick to dismiss things to lag in this game. That said, I'm yet to experience any cheating in the SA. Maybe I'm lucky, or maybe the cheaters prefer 3PP servers. Regards.

Hi. Would be a decent idea except for the obvious win it would give gearing up server hoppers. Regards.

Hi. Although the zeds are more like 28 days later rage infection, rather than the classic Romero zombie, I would still like the idea of needing headshots to kill, just so the zeds will actually pose a threat. IMHO headshots combined with a much larger number of zeds, would make the game much better for anyone except the pure death match crowd, of course there isn't anything pure about death matching in a totally unbalanced game like DayZ anyhow. If nothing else, the possibility of this being done in a mod later exists. If that happened, I probably wouldn't ever play vanilla DayZ again. Regards.

Hi. From what I have seen the MPGS hardcore servers seem to be set up properly, while Vilayer hardcore servers use your regular character. Regards.

Hi. I'm wearing a brown cowboy hat, brown hunting pants, and a green plaid shirt. Does that make me a KOS bandit? lol OP, I get it, you don't like cowboy hats. A lot of people assume anyone in military gear is a bandit, though it isn't always true. You said you wear the ballistic helmet, so maybe try asking yourself a question, did those players wearing the cowboy hats try to KOS you, because every time they saw someone in a military helmet they got shot? There's no way to judge peoples playing style by the clothes, well except those silly masks, maybe... Regards.

Hi. The devs can't bring back those custom maps, they didn't make them. They were put in by the very thing you guys in this thread are protesting...Mods! lol Just a little ironic eh? Anyhow, it doesn't really matter if a few people whine about mods ruining the game, it's already been made clear that the game will be moddable in the future. Probably just have to wait until development is done. Regards.

Hi. The MP hand guard is obviously better, but if you like playing in the night don't let it stop you from using the ris with flashlight attached. To put it into perspective, I had an M4 fully stock oe parts, finally got a mp handguard, which I ended up losing to a glitch. So for a short while I ran around with stock M4 with no handguard at all. In that condition, I was still one shotting zeds, and also killed another player. Regards.

Hi. I admittedly didn't read this entire thread. That said, god no. Please no artillery style weapons. Thats all we need, a clan of douche bags gathering the crap then nuking cities. It would be like the hackers that ruined the mod. All over again, and again, and again. :facepalm: Regards.

Hi. I see people at NWAF often on the hardcore servers I play in. I've been going there a lot trying to find a LRS(since we don't have binoculars). I don't really find a lot of rifles there anymore though. Vybor, on the other hand has rifles coming out its ass, the other night when I went though it, I found 2 mosins, 2 SKS's, 2 shotguns, 1 of thoses new double barrel rifles and even an M4 upstairs in the machine shop. That was just going into the high % buildings. If it wasn't for the LRS, and M4 parts, there wouldn't be much reason to bother with military bases. Regards.

Hi. LoL at anybody who tries to say 3PP simulates anything about reality. Still, this topic has been beaten to death, over and over again. Although BIS is my personal favorite action game developer, I really dislike that they ever included 3PP. Even though it was automatically disabled when you turned the difficulty up, it still gives these newcomers that don't seem to have a clue what they are talking about, the ability to say its been in the game since OpF. Meh, it was nothing but a crutch to let noobs learn how to play the game without constantly getting headshot by AI they never saw. Any decent PVP server had all that easy mode bullshit turned off(3PP, aiming cursors, magic maps). /endrant At least we have the option for regular/hardcore servers, though it would probably be better change names hardcore to regular and current regular to rookie or something similar. Regards.

Meh. 100 slot servers will be too expensive, just look at the cost for the 40 slots we have now. Then there's the fact that you will have some serious crowding issues, I know chernarus is big, but 100+ players will start to make it feel a lot smaller(of course I realize this is what some[maybe most] people want). I personally would prefer to see them make other things work first, like respawning loot and infected, many more infected. I guess maybe the game is going in a different direction then I expected, pure death match except without balance, o well. Regards.

Hi. Pretty sure he means he sorts by server type(by clicking on it as I do), not by typing hardcore in the filter. Regards. Edit: you know the same way you can sort by ping when you click on ping. The filter is pretty much a waste of time, unless your looking for some particularly named server i.e. 'the church of Zed Leppelin'

Hi. I've read on these forums that there are some servers set to hardcore, using the hardcore settings but somehow mistakenly connected to the regular hive. Regards.

Hi. I used to wear all black and gray, but now that all the hardcore servers in my locale seem to be 24/7 daylight it isn't so effective. Black can still be surprisingly effective in the right spots though. I guess maybe its time to go back to the typical bleh full army suit. Though I'm still holding out a bit with brown clint eastwood-looking hat, and brown hunting pants. Regards.

^This. Use your weapons sights, not the silly dot in your screen. As much as people want this game to behave like the typical arcady FPS'ers out there, it doesn't and hopefully never will. Regards. Edit: oh never mind. If you were using the weapons sights then I guess you were just in an unlucky glitch. Maybe some invisable mesh from a tree or something.

Hi. I just want it for scanning areas from further away before going in, once they put binoculars in the game, I would probably never want a mosin. Regards.

Am I the only one amused by the sniper complaining about someone killing him while hiding in the woods? :D

While I had no problems the first time I played today, the second time after about half an hour or so of playing my pc crashed, BSOD pointing to 'memory management'. Never had that happen before, I hope the memory-leak hotfix isn't causing it. Regards.
