do you mean the animations for the movement, or the fact you have to sprint to move at speed when you have your gun raised in either walking and crouching stance. what is changed with crawling?? (i presume you mean prone when you say crawling, or do you mean crouched?) more balanced? please do explain how so? as for semi realism, try watching any footage of combat situations (say for example people fighting in syria or ukraine, so as to keep in line with civilians using weapons as opposed to trained military) then find me footage where any time someone has a gun aimed instantly begins to walk around from a jogging pace just because they aim their weapon. the inability to go from a crouched walking toggled speed to a sprint is totally against any realistic type of movement in a firefight situation. i know i certainly wouldnt be walking around if i was in a combat scenario, hell, i think i would even be able to aim and fire (albeit with a lot less accuracy) when i was actually sprinting. as opposed to not being able to sprint for some reason at all just because i have my gun at a readied state...

loling that everyone all of a sudden cares about the mp5 now, back in the mod you couldt give them away XD

they had better add the magical GPS you so swiftly scorn, that item is end game shit right there... gps made me lol in mod, it was so rare to find one, that when i did, id scurry off to my tent and leave it there for safe keeping, which kind of goes against the whole purpose it has in the first place but still. me want gps in sa as well. but clearly having your position light up on the paper map is silleh. some form of orientation bearing possibility would be nice although again unrealisatic i guess. god damn the "realism" argument in so many games these days, i play games to escape reality, not mimic it to the point where my game life sucks as much balls as my real one :/ lol

yeah man, ssd gaming drives really do help a lot, especially in games like this, i remember reading up about it when i was playing dayz mod a lot, and it makes for a lot better IO of the texture rendering and stuff, as the arma engines specifically do a lot of reads from the texture files when you play, a lot more than most games. for standalone it may be a little less relevant but they run on very similair engine base and tbh having an ssd really does make any computer a lot faster overall as well as increase performance in most games.

looks like a laptop from the gtm part of the gfx card. only thing i would say is if u installed an ssd, it would be a bit better for you on that setup.

i really feel like hunting and living off the land so far, is severely disadvantaged at the moment in comparrison to just mil heavy KoS playstyle, for example, to hunt AND cook your food you need so much gear to do so yet certain items like the fishing pole for example are too big for most backpacks. so i finally catch some food by whichever source i can find, i got my axe and imma make me a fire OH WAIT i need rocks -__- great so i either need to risk my ass looting in towns till i find random rocks (cos every house has a rock in) OR have a pickaxe on me, but wait, my melee slot is taken up by my axe for chopping wood, what a conundrum. i really feel like the game needs to have a toolbelt and different forms of them at that, with differing specs found in different zones, because lets face it in the mod, the toolbelt mechanic worked out pretty well and isnt OVERLY unrealistic in terms of realism either. hopefully to an extent camping tents will slightly make storing your hunting equipment a little easier and so on naturally, but i should not really NEED one of the rarest items (that will be available) in game just so i can then hunt. i mean even fishing rods, ok so we can craft a make shift one with ashwood sticks, but then, ashwood sticks last time i tried didnt fit in many bags either so we are left with the same player having not enough options to carry all that is needed to go out, hunt and eat in one journey. at least if they had a "real" fishing rod in as well that was telescopic but needed you to find a reel and so on would be something. im ranting but i hope what im saying makes a little sense. guns for me are a form of self defense in dayz, i dont try to find them to actively use them, but i like to have them IN CASE i should need it. if this game shifts more emphasis on to the hunting and survival and crafting as the main concept for the game it will do the game a huge service as in a real situation like this, if you wanted to last a while, you would most likely be out away from the source of highly infected areas, survivng off the land and trying to form groups in the name of security as opposed to all running to a bloody military barracks and saying to yourself if i see any human, animal and or otherwise infected anything, im gonna shoot ANYTHING i meet. which is currently where even i find myself NEEDING to be when i play at the moment when i meet anyone with a gun or even melee.

lol, but walkie talkies usually have a fairly close proximity of effect. there are of course higher power ones but really i think the idea with them is to have them when teaming so as to be able to communicate in game with people and avoid using direct and close proximity to coordinate movement within towns etc, and also to help prevent being listened in on when in said areas

in all honesty, i do have gripes with how the survival elements and crafting options dont offer a better alternative to going to the higher risk of pvp areas to get large bags and so on. i love the look and camo option of the craftable bag, but at 20 slots it just leaves you a lot more ill equipped than someone with the mountain bag and even the taloon pack, at a small cost of the colour of the bag being less camouflaged. in agreement with the op post, you can also factor in the inability to be able to carry many of the other tools needed to full on survive, especially as a lone wolf, by survival means. i really hope to see something along the lines of the arma 2 mod system for a toolbelt. even better yet if you can craft one AND loot one as well. I mean for me, I know full well I'd be looking to create varied carrying options for myself if was found in the setting within the game. as it stands crafting items and using current food foraging and survival/hunting options is a large disadvantage to grabbing a mountain pack, stacking it with food and a tin opener and just ignoring what i hope to be a far more core orientated aspect to the game come later patches. i really hope they balance it out sooner or later in a way where being resourceful and avoiding high risk areas has as many benefits as drawbacks, not only will it create a more fun environment to play in but will lead to a lot more variety in playstyles and loot preference. i mean rope, come on, it seems to be a stupidly rare loot drop at the moment and yet is in real world terms going to be a lot more likely to be found in MANY places than bloody ammo and stuff, given the setting. i dunno. there is pros and cons for both arguments but i REALLY hope the emphasis pushes to crafting and traditional survival methods later on in development than we have so far. p.s. the rocks for fireplaces thing is a bit odd, i would suggest being able to find containers such as paper bin baskets or something you can build fires into as well as the rock and wood method. meh

Even though i sense a certain degree of sarcasm here (where i could be wrong) having fired a gun a few times, but not a great amount, i know that even if one fully prepares oneself for the kick back and so on from firing a gun, this doesnt equate to being prepared enough lol. obviously from a gameplay standpoint this wouldnt be too great to have people battering their eyes in with scopes or shooting themselves in the leg when trying to draw a pistol, but with some benny hill music and some recorded footage, dat shit be go viral man lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uvz6cM_LeW4 so long as the guns do this in game, then im happy. i wanna see survivors with HUUUUGE purple eyes from not being ACTUALLY trained military personell. lol. the 2 guys that shoot themselves just fackin rofl man.

you have to install dayz mod using steams version, and then run the game by using the steam version of dayz mod, to get it to log your hours. i have played dayz for stupid amounts of time, but due to steams version being a badly interfaced version (with regards to finding dayz servers) i turned to using the dayz commander AND i set it to run without using steam or the beta for steam to work, as someone hacked my original cd key off my account and using steam borks my replacement cd key. although the answer is yes, install dayz mod using steam and run it from steam and it will log your playtime

so i was in the police station in berezino coast on the new exp build, started to get some serious rubber banding to the point i had to quit to save me rage quitting my pc's life out my window. logged in a few hours later and my character has now rubber banded and spawned into a room in the police stations second floor which is basically a moot room, it has a door, that cannot be opened and a window that cannot be vaulted out of, i cannot kill myself unless i sit around in game waiting for hunger to kill me. how do i get help???

the way tents were in the mod was this, you find a tent (you rejoice and get immediately paranoid of any one spotting you before you get to almost outside the map enough to place it safely where it wont get raided) you place tent (tent is then also able to be dismantled to relocate if empty and you have not died) tent is filled with gear as and when you find it and ferry it back innevitably, you died, (zombies, player encounters, opening doors LOL etc.) that tent is now unassociated with your new spawn character (so you now have effectively "lost" ownership of that tent, because you cannot dismantle it anymore) at this point if you dont touch a tent for a given period of days, it is deleted from the server file i really cant see a way to make persistent storage work other than this. if this mechanic really is enough that some people will not play the game anymore, then yay for me, as i will not have so many moany everything has to be perfect and "realistic" players in my game anymore :)

cheers man, filled in, hope it gets fixed soon as that was a major bummer lol

lol you clearly have never checked anything, like, ever. if you checked you would see that any time someone who bests a person in say for example a firefight, using a far inferior weapon, would in fact be a "BOWSS" where the person who had the superior firepower, yet was merely outskilled, is indeed a "PHAG" lol. and about my ranging scope, if you actually took time to read what was written you would see i was saying if I WAS ABLE to use scopes on the bow, granted that for shots over a certain range what i said in my post is what I WOULD do. you dont need rangefinders to get a distance to targets, i use my map for zeroing in all the time. anyway. enough of this. you would get bested by a respirator pilot helmet wearing ninja. the facts are there. so calm your self madame :) xxx

None of what you said bothers me lol, and the point of having a scope would be to get a rough idea of how far your target was before aiming jovially upwards a good amount to try for the best. either way. iv killed enough people both in the mod and in sa with just good axe skills and sneaky ninja tactics. i shall continue to do so and give about nought fks for people like you and your overt downer attitude lol. up ur bum man. up ur bum

i wasnt naming the crossbow crossbow thats a dumb name for a crossbow, to descriptive and already its definition, crossbow would clearly be called clarence, cedrci, or cunty, personally i like cunty the crossbow :D either way im suprised you didnt mind being patted on the head like the sad injured puppy im about to put down THUMBS UP FOR YOOOOUUU lol

idea was propsed as a core concept by dean hall that characters get a ability boost by doing certain things a lot, ie people who apply medical gear getting boosts to the effects after time and so on, this would really encourage teamplay i think as if your character was basically a useless retard at every aspect of gameplay initially, and it took you a while to build up just one or other of your actions skill, it would be much more sensible to find players who already have a natural leaning towards one role or another within a group scenario, imagine if when cars and so on are in, you only had say 2 guys who could really hit those hard far off shots, and two others were only really the sort of people who were good mechanics or medic roles, would really add a much needed dynamic to enforce less shoot on sight tactics i think

*pats you on the head* *strokes crossbow* there there, dont worry, soon it will all be over

your missing my point, op asked a question, reply flamed him as a pussy, when really using guns IS for pussies. real ninjahs use melee and now with crossbows and bows :D you can be true shadow ninjah. so to your point, using a pistol just makes you a more stupid pussy than using your main gun, as opposed to being a big balled bastard who takes on a adhd KOS kind of phag with craftable and hard to use weapons, just cos you can, cos unlike the gun toting phags YOUR A BOWWWWSSSSSSS :P i really hope they balance the craftable and non bullet based weapons out to be the true ninjah warriors weapons of choice, i want to see the ability to craft long bows with ability to mod them to take scopes so you can snipe with a bow and no one knows what happened when they take an arrow to the knee from 500m, thats something you can brag about in forums, as opposed to finally i found an lrs and used it on a gun to kill someone.

all you need to do is get the drop on someone and kneecap them, then mock them for a bit, and then give them morphine. then fwends faw ev4

morale of story, dont do stupid stuff like meet geared frienmds in high pop zones like coast and bere especially, head inland to the other towns and your golden

saying hes a pussy due to it being a ne on one is no argument. ur just an overly aggressive player. any one sensible would be weary to enter any gunfights, as gun shots always attract more players. i myself would of tried to get eyes on the guy and wait till he started looting, whap out the trusty fire axe and made him bleed profusely out of his head IF i was going to enter combat. thats what real men do, take on pussies with m4s with |FRICKING AXES YO!! the aim of the game is survival, if your a good player you wont need to be greedy and loot a dead player or one of your own vistims, if anything when i kill anyone, i always just hide body and rarely loot them, as im usually fully stocked with exactly what i like to have, and hiding bodies is just the sensible way to avoid another player stumbling across a body that he could scavenge a weapon of and possibly end up behind me with

to unload ammo without right click drag gun to floor, then click the weapon so it displays attatched ammo and attachments, drag attachments out of weapon should takr it out
