They were removed because they couldn't be made as rare as they should have been due to duping and hacking. In reality it should have been rarer than the helicopters. I don't have any problem with 1HK, 1 hit KO ends the same way 99% of the time. However, I think that leg shots should only have potential to knockout, and upper torso should more or less instakill with many guns. If anything good/ just rare was added in the standalone you would want to make sure duping isn't easy.

I would actually like supply drops. It should be server set however, as a private hive server tool. And what is more you would have to be right frequency, right time, and close enough. Maybe an hour warning before it arrives, on a random emergency frequency. Shows up once a week and contains mainly just food and water as well as medical supplies. It might be in the interest of larger groups to hold and completely ransack it. It ain't like anybody with a radio and also a good hour of running in him isn't going to have a gun to defend himself. You would know the risk in going there, and dayZ is all about risking it all.

^all of which would be great in dayZ

Oh, and anything singleplayer is probably to be avoidable. Stuff like jumping on someone with a knife and throwing their knife in farcry 3 = definitely avoidable. Arma built engines also handle two player interactive sort animations badly from my knowledge.

Rocket is a very ambitious person.If you can get a portion of the community aware of a change that will improve the game probably done via Reddit (lets face it) he will undoubtedly look into and weigh up what he has to get it going. But for anything to get attention you have to make sure you have people that think the same as you and also do a bit of research. I don't like the idea of cutscene/ uncountable type animations, I would prefer real time combat where a player isn't forced into decisions. Unless that decision is the fastest reach and grab ever to basically smoothen up what would otherwise be an unrealistic slashing move to go through someones heart. I think the best system for melee in any current game for me would have to be Mount and Blade/ Chivalry: Medieval Warfare.

Eggs would make more sense than kiwis and bananas in my opinion. Occasionally you could get rotten I guess. There are still chickens/ hens around in the mod, so it only makes sense for eggs to be around too. Maybe you could even farm a few chickens at some point? Have an Omelette every time you return to camp, we need frypans btw. The Hen house on some residential properties should contain a few eggs around it, from personal experience some hens are pretty happy to lay in gardens and bushes and such.

Being non borderline cod fanboy stuff does it for me.For me if it is old, not totally impractical (.50 type stuff) and also looks good it is okay. Realism is just a bonus and anything really common over there should definitely be added, like the Ruger 10/ 22 and the SKS. Anything rare should be introduced over time due to popular and serious requests aka, this revolver and the C96. But not the oh so run of the mill, every second person can name it and every second action movie has it desert eagle. That's just me trying to differ myself from what I would call a certain type FPS exclusive fan. Gews is just on the next level of nothing out of ordinary should spawn at all, which I think would damage the playability of endgame by having 100 or so guns that spawn just as often as each other in different places and hugely disappoint fans like me hoping for certain guns that don't necessarily fit the very vague location at which dayZ takes place. But personally I think to take the people pleasing option, there are less Gews around than everybody else.

Can't drink water because it's too cold?!? It can't be colder than 0 degrees Celsius otherwise it would be frozen. Any warmer and it is basically fridge temperature 4 Degrees. IDK if drinking a beverage from a fridge is bad for you :/ but it's favoured drink temperature for me. Unless you mean ice, Eating Ice to hydrate yourself can give you ulcers and stuff.

As every attack in melee should be risk vs reward. Hopefully we get some proper blocking with the new physics engine. An extremely heavy long handled weapon like a sledgehammer possibly having a chance of knocking something right from the players grasp. I would like to see medieval weapons as the most effective end game loot for melee players, bringing higher value to the castles. Things like warhammers, swords, double sided axes, a couple long polarms. Some odd pieces of armour, chain mail shirt, breastplate, helmet. The ultimate in zombie battler load outs, no loud gunshots, can fight without worry of bleeding.

I like that ye olde piece of shit feeling when it comes to cars in dayZ. A bit of a mix wouldn't be too crazy though, anything new should be rare though. I would like to see manual cars and maybe even cruise control for the newer ones. Military vehicles should be quite a bit rarer and usually have more repair work to be done to get them into working condition.

Your nightmare is my fetish.

I think we should have a few stabbing manoeuvres and such which leave you more vulnerable after a miss to anything vital but will do more devastating damage. The advantage of blunt melee weapons would be their weight and effectiveness with the more defensive swings. Blades should be able to do huge damage with a well placed stab, slashing should do relatively small damage against a clothed enemy but not needing smaller and quicker swings than blunt melee weapons.

There's no shrubs or branches in the debug plains.

I don't like item storing tents, we need any item storage to be super rare small and probably secure if we're getting 100+ player servers. Plus it just adds to the server hopping loot farming hoarding mentality that came with the mod camps.

Nope.

Maybe, I wouldn't mind more uses of the versatile rag.Cheek cushion on rifle stocks. Over a flashlight to make it more tactical so you could use it to flash on and off when you can't see things properly, without loosing your nightsight.

I wouldn't mind some sort of sweeping or quick leg jab kick. The lower it is the faster it is. Extremely low kicks could pretty much be stomps. Stomping on a zombies shin forces it to an imbalanced lowered position from which you can whack its head for 6

DayZ DB is honestly no help to me, I know the dayZ map better than I know my own city.

I would like some sort of soundtrack in the menu, kind of like the fallout theme. No friggen battlefield dubstep or anything. Something emotional but also inspiring I don't care if it feels like it's putting feelings in my face because I think that's what a post apocalyptic game should do.

That is really interesting. This really kills its use a an exploit and lets people use it to view their character instead of completely taking away that feature. If anybody complained then they are really just attached to using their 3rd person as an advantage in combat.

Nice gun.

All hail the beard.

They're adding the AK-74M

That's Willie Apiata of the NZ SAS.
