    Backup inventory

    3-4 items or 3-4 slots worth of items. What's stopping people from making a pistol their item(s) and ammo if they have space? Cue KOSer who just re spawned blowing new spawns away with a 357.
  2. Yet another thing that i have put on my "DO NOT EVER F*CKING USE/TOUCH/GET INVOLVED WITH THESE" list.

    Polaroid Cameras

    All right! Time for some selfies!

    Do you HOP or STICK?

    I only hop if the server is dark when i log in. i just can't handle it at the moment and i don't want to gamma "cheat". EDIT: I've gotta admit that i've hopped for loot before but only because i was frustrated because i was only finding FNX45's when i only had mosin ammo and a magnum with one bullet in it.

    Cool idea's for Oculus Rift integration? :)

    This how it is meant to work.
  6. The toggle weapon button is only really used on the M4 as of yet (i think) to switch between full auto and semi auto. How about we add to it's functionality by using it to cock the hammer on the revolver. I mean what says "Get the f*ck away" than the sound of a revolver being cocked while it's pointed at you. Also this could increase accuracy a small amount as a single action trigger is often easier to pull(and keep on target) than a double action pull. Similarly this could be used on a Pump action shotgun if we ever get one for a similar effect by pumping it, however this will eject a shell onto the ground which can be picked up. Think about it, you are searching a barracks and all you hear behind is the *click* of a gun being cocked followed as you desperately search for supplies. Though it would probably end with your brains all over the floor but an interesting element none the less. Or you see some one running away who has stolen from you, you pull your magnum, cock the hammer and aim the shot carefully. The sound of the shot followed by the body dropping to the ground and you slowly walking up to get your supplies back would make you feel really badass. EDIT: Just remembered some things. The cocking would slow down the fire rate (therefore balancing the increased accuracy) and pressing the toggle button while it is cocked should lower the hammer, because who runs around with a cocked revolver in their pants. There could have a possibility added that you accidentally let the hammer slip (while decocking only) and the gun goes off, which can happen in real life,

    Toggle weapon = cock revolver

    The FNX is an SA/DA IIRC, which means it would have to be decocked first. Not something that is usually done unless it is holstered or you want to just cock it for teh lulz. EDIT: if you want really relistic weapon mechanics then look at a steam green light game called Reciever. There are mods for shotguns and such.

    Enter DOOR fix

    Maybe it could work when they implement ragdoll.

    Sun Tzu - The Art of DayZ ?!?!

    Like maps, so put it in your hot bar and then select it. On another note i have finally got the chance to read Wurthering Heights as i have never done it before. I hope it is interesting cause i gave up a very valuable slot in my backpack so i could have it. Yes i am literally going to read a book in this game when i get far, far away from Elektro, the place i found it.

    More Zombie Types

    This isn't Left 4 Dead. It's the most realistic (or authentic as Rocket likes to put it) zombie game ever released.

    Next patch: a big one?

    Shotgun + pistol my friend. Also sawn off could be like a pistol in regards to where you can put it but bigger.

    weapon flash light

    If the flashlight damaged? cause that might be it. Those mofos are everywhere so dropping one isn't a big deal.

    Next patch: a big one?

    Going to sleep takes longer than 30 f*cking seconds. More like 30 mins for sleepy times to start. But 30 secs is a good number.

    Doors- opening mechanism

    It's Arma, (or was) it's something you get used to.

    Defective weapons?

    All i notice is if it works or doesn't. I'm not good enough to outshoot a badly damaged gun in this game. Besides, to find out the condition if it is like that would take more ammo than i'd like to waste on a wall.

    Defective weapons?

    Most people go for center mass. I think it is safer to have it in your pants incase you get hit. Edit: 556th post! (firearms joke)

    -=BEARDS=-

    Why do I suddenly think of music from the Vietnam war era when I saw the OP's post. And the war.
  18. Most likely Beta. So a year or 2.

    Doors- opening mechanism

    You can press "F" instead of the MMB. That is your only other option.
  20. Dchil

    Defective weapons?

    Weapons, like all items, have a condition. The only difference is that it is either ruined or working and there is no indicator. Hopefully with time the "Inspect" function will allow you break the weapon down and inspect the insides but for now it is just a slightly larger version of the "Hands" view box.

    Dumping bags

    Or better yet, the option to select multiple objects at once for clicking and dragging.
  22. To be honest i'd rather just be able to find a 357 and enough ammo to keep me in the game(of life in game of course). Rifles are too easy to spot and are just another reason to be shot at the moment, the FNX45 can't hit the broad side of a barn. It's come to the point where i have actually just opened up on some guy with a mosin but without thinking or even attempting to be friendly. Unfortunately the server chose to restart at that very moment so i got f*ck all. I used to be the guy that would always try and talk a bit before that happened but playing SA at the moment has just turned me against everyone. The new guys migrating (probably from COD and BF) along with all the old KOSers only having a few low ping servers in Oz and only one game type (unlike with the mod where they could just play overwatch and the like when they wanted PVP) has made the people who talk to you rare. My last life was ended by a guy who knocked me out with an axe while i was working on a Zombie with mine, All i did was tell him he was a f*ckwit and ask for him to end it. At no point did he try and take my pistols (no ammo and no rifle) or talk so i guess he just wanted to feel "safe" or kill.
  23. There is one definite way to be on the Internal Testing team. Wait for it..... Get a job at BIS.

    Melee with the butt of the rifle?

    It should be something to look at after they got the bayonets working on the rifles as melee weapons.
