*I want dat gun* Community Weapons Poll. (4/5/14 - SMGs poll next)
Chaingunfighter replied to Chaingunfighter's topic in Suggestions
Part of the "Giant Handguns" update, which also added a Raging Bull, Desert Eagle, H&K MK23 SOCOM, and a Winchester M1887 -
I'm sure we'll find a way to make craftable melee weapons. But it seems like there's a huge division of the people who want to keep DayZ's gameplay somewhat modern and ones who want it to be essentially like the Stone Age (Bows & Crafted weapons only, very few guns.) They're good ideas, but it would feel pretty weird using a flint-head axe or club in barbaric furs to charge down a guy with an M4A1. (Shout out to Civ 5)
-
Shadows seem to hardly make a difference in most cases, unless you're in a big city. I run DayZ at max settings and I can't say the shadows stand out as "amazing". Even Arma 3's have some quirks, although they heavily improved them over A2:OA & Take on Helicopters.
-
They also use the M4A1, although it's been mainly replaced by the new CZ-805 and M4A3. Not to mention it's a fictional mixed region that the devs can do whatever the hell they want with.
-
The original AK? Hardly fits at all. Sure, you can still find them, but most are lost among the countless AKMs and Type 56s, which together make up about 2/3s of all AKs. Even if you meant AKs in general (AKM, AK-74, AKS-74U, etc.) I'd still think guns like the Tokarev TT-33, Makarov PM, Nagant M1895, and already in-game SKS and Mosin-Nagant M1891/30 fit the scenario just as "perfectly" I'm with Gews and Irishroy on this one. This is the single gun I refuse to add to the weapon's poll, not because I hate it (the Desert Eagle is very cool, however impractical) but because I am completely against it being in the game.
-
I'd rather just be able to make them.

Actually, I take it back. Vote constructively, unless you truly want everything. -

*I want dat gun* Community Weapons Poll. (4/5/14 - SMGs poll next)
Chaingunfighter replied to Chaingunfighter's topic in Suggestions
I tried to have variety to see what other people want, not necessarily the most realistic weapons. If enough people think the Nambu is interesting then I say; "Why not?". Yeah, it doesn't fit the scenario (in my mind), but it's not any more unrealistic than some of the guns already in-game and is interesting. My only pet peeve with it is that it fires 8x22mm Nambu, which essentially nothing else shoots. I also wish people actually read the descriptions, or at least looked at the pictures before they voted :| -

I'm surprised so few have voted for the MP-443 so far. -
That, or you're just trying to make an excuse for something that no one is mad about. Pretty much everyone makes dumb posts their first time on the forum. But making awful excuses offers you little credit, even when no harm was done.

Chaingunfighter replied to Chaingunfighter's topic in Suggestions
I'll probably put that on the revolver post, because you asked :). I can't guarantee anyone will actually vote for it, though. It's just a poll, if an overwhelming number of people seem to agree with you then it's probably important to know. -

Chaingunfighter replied to Chaingunfighter's topic in Suggestions
Depends on what you define as western. A lot of the aforementioned guns are German, Swiss, Belgian and Italian, and we know that the P-38 is coming. I personally think that guns like the C96, Glocks, Sigs, Luger, (and obviously the Tokarev & Makarov) are must-haves simply because of international prevalence. The rest I differ on, but I'm not going to vote in my own poll :P -

Revolver poll will be separate. -

Haha, my first gas pistol was a WE-Tech P226, what are the odds? I've still got it and it runs great, just like the real one. -
I think it's reasonable to suggest having a working variant of a common wreck in the game. Also, most unarmored Humvees cost around $65,000, still a hefty price but not $140,000. And U.S. equipment does get left behind, usually when disabled enough to the point where it cannot be moved quickly enough, it even happens with Abrams tanks. Plus, the U.S. often exports equipment to countries that it invades; that's why Iraq and Afghanistan have Humvees and M4s in their arsenals now.

Yeah, I was very surprised when I saw that.

The Community's List of Suggested Weapons for Dayz Standalone (Version: 1.29)
Chaingunfighter replied to alexeistukov's topic in Suggestions
Yeah, you'd find more of all of the guns he said were "nonsense" than AK-12s. -
No to the Tokarev? You high, Gews?
-
True, that is how probability works. However DMRs were way too common in the mod, but I feel this had something to do with the lack of overall weapons they could use, since they relied mainly on vanilla weapons. Obviously the spawn rates could use some tweaking, but I still would rather have variety then find an individual weapon every time. More overall weapons = less overall chance of finding a specific one. Thus the individual chance of finding a specific gun that you wanted would be lower whilst the chance of finding a gun could be tweaked at the dev's will.

The Community's List of Suggested Weapons for Dayz Standalone (Version: 1.29)
Chaingunfighter replied to alexeistukov's topic in Suggestions
Most modern guns hold more than 5 rounds... The only real exceptions to that are hunting rifles or productions of pre-existing models, and a few revolvers that hold 5 rounds. I'm assuming by modern you mean essentially 2000-present. How about the suppressed M134 in Rome: Total War? -
Balota, Elektro, NWAF, Nowhere else.

Cool gun, also the first pistol that honestly makes sense.

Who wants to see more Shotguns than any other weapons
Chaingunfighter replied to Pokerguy12's topic in Suggestions
We've already got pistols, revolvers, rifles (many types, including select-fire rifles, battle rifles, etc.), shotguns & melee (bladed & blunted). Bows, crossbows, and chainsaws are coming soon, and we'll probably get submachine-guns, light machineguns, explosives, and thrown weaponry eventually. Why do you mean "unfortunately"? Is there something wrong with having a lot of weapons? -

Chaingunfighter replied to Pokerguy12's topic in Suggestions
SVD is semi-automatic, and has 10 rounds. Essentially more effective than the mosin in every way.
