Looking for a couple people to get started in an origins server with. I have played origins a lot before however due to a server admin that got caught cheating my group's fortress got deleted along with all our other gear. This happened a couple months back and I have just now gotten back on Dayz. Not planning to go as far just want to some people to play with and to build a couple houses and garages with. I bandit for fun once I get everything but I have no problems working in a team.

After the removal of the as50. and the m107 both incredibly powerful, accurate, death machines. I have felt that the left over snipers were both unrealistic in diversity and left a need for a heavier caliber. Also the only NV compatible sniper left is the DMR. This basically limits certain players to use the DMR simply so that it works with their NV. Also no guns in the game currently can reliable disable a military vehicle. I have played on servers where a group of players would fly around in a Huey, essentially invincible, gunning down survivors. My suggestion to these problems is the introduction of a bolt action sniper in a heavier caliber than 7.62. A 50.cal bolt action could penetrate armored glass of pilot seats and could take down a main rotor in a couple of shots. But it does not even need to be a 50. cal, other calibers like the .416 barrett or the .338 lapua could do the job. Also it could be NV compatible so players have a choice other than the DMR. Essential what is needed is a way for players to fight back against armored vehicles even if they don't have an armored vehicle, yet keep it balanced by making it a bolt action and a rare spawn either at chopper crashes or a small chance in the barracks. http://www.barrett.net/firearms/model95 http://www.barrett.net/firearms/mrad two Barrett example of what I am talking about.

Why dont you let me decide what gun I think is best for the post apocalyptic world. As the Walking Dead showed us zombies are easy, humans are killers.

Yea everyone knows there aren't any calibers above 7.62

Its not really player damage that is a problem. Both the m24 and the Dmr are quite capable at dropping targets at ranges to 800m. But they cant do damage to choppers, in fact no one gun can really damage the military mil.

Sure forget the .408 or the .416. But then .50cal semi autos would be there and I dont think that makes for a balanced game. So why not a .338 lapua? But Hueys are in there and the mils as well and they do have armor, a problem when you cant do ANYTHING to one. I am proposing a fix that I think will have minimal damage to the balance and yet still be realistic.

Havnet played aftermath and this comment seems more like an aftermath endorsment than a real discussion/opinion of the topic or another post.

Jordan, Turkey, and Poland use the .408. Why do they have american hueys? I find it a little silly that people have a massive problem with american weapons existing in dayz but no problem what so ever with the fact that there is ZOMBIES! Its a game, I can think of a number of reasons why american guns are in Russia, the simplest is that Americans/UN came to assist the Russians in fighting the undead but were unsuccessful leaving a stockpile of weapons.

I derped. I didnt mean a .50 cal or heavier, I meant a .50cal or a bullet heavier than 7.62. I would love to see a .408(to be honest I think it would be easier than implementing a .50cal cause you would get less backlash)

? what does that have to do with the thread? you can make your own thread you know.

yea again, i want a bolt action .50cal or heavier. The semi autos can be spammed.

I dont mean that there is .338 lapua in dayz but .338 lapua is in arma 2 operation arrowhead.

Btw turns out there is already .338 lapua in game so should be even easier to implement in game.

I do not serve in the military. I never said they issued anti material rifles in every unit, but that every major army has anti material rifles. What does that have to do with dayz? Btw I actually have a shot a .50cal just not a .50cal BMG, and to be honest the only difference was that there was a little more kick.

If zombies still give you trouble after a couple hours playing. Get a new game.

I only wanted to put in a bolt action 50. cal..........

At no point have I ever argued to put the AS50 back into the game. I am offering a bolt action rifle chambered for a caliber above 7.62. So argue against that if you want. But I wont address your balance problems if you use the AS50 as your strawman.

When did I say as50? I have one shot players with a m24 on upper body shots all the time.

Why cant you take a drink when you want to. I know in dayz i don't drink until i am flashing.

The blindfold would only work if the player was restrained or unconscious once a player is no longer restrained or unconscious they should be able to take off the blindfold

I like the tear gas and the sedative bolt but on a crossbow? I think they use special rifles to deliver knock out animals. Maybe those.

The video seemed less about driving and more about crashing. Title should be crashing in dayz should be like this.

This game is already jokingly referred to as "dayz running simulator", don't make it "dayz the slow motion running simulator". I can give up the realism for balance purposes.

I dont really care for the idea. I imagine rite after a zombie apocolpyse running out of clothes wont be a problem for a while. Also clothes made out of animal skins wouldnt look anything like modern clothes.
