    Base building

    Do you not want base building?Do you mean camps? The problem with sub mods was nothing was rare enough, I'm talking a couple of planks = as rare as a tent. A marquee = five times rarer than 'The Mod' tents. I'm all about building shit, you people are all about, lets make these places where we hide shit people can just teleport into. I hate hiding shit and I hate people teleporting into bases. This is pretty much a solution to both.

    Maybe in 'a mod' of 'The Mod'

    Base building

    Start with camps that way, we can have a system that has been tried and tested before we get into underground shit. Add marquee style tents that we can use to be out of the wind & rain. Add permanent campfires great for cooking. Add small hard to come by loot storage containers. Add cooking stuff that can be used over campfire. Add crafting tables to modify gear (shotgun -> sawed off shotgun) Once that sort of stuff is done, add fences, barbed wire & wooden that properly grabs the terrain just underneath it, including building roofs and such. Add gates (some sort of locking system), sand bags and basic wooden buildings. Add more complex wooden buildings, often requiring a cocktail of resources. Add stairs (best way to keep people from ghosting into your base, put it somewhere you can only get to on your server). Add larger loot storage options including spider hole type things requiring a shovel and wood and water proofing material. Add safes that are incredibly rare and hard to shift but require keys/ combinations. Add electricity, lighting and gas powered generators, fridges to preserve perishables, alarms. Anything further than that might be really dependant on what the community is doing. (I can see bases on top of the giant metal warehouse by Stary Sobor, bases on top of supermarkets, bases all overt everything and everyplace) They should be more or less permanent so a system of seeing where it is going to be (EXACTLY) is pretty important. Things should be craftable from a gaint pile of loot considering how much crap some of the stuff should require.
  4. I tend to hide from people with guns, they tend to be dicks.

    You can fire them standing, just don't expect to hit anything smaller than a house at 50m.I don't think we need any long range semi auto snipers at the moment though. Anything bigger than local hunting cartridges should be super rare, and the guns aswell. I mean like 1000hrs on average before you will find one. But don't add anything that is meant to be really rare untill all the bugs for duping and such are done.

    5 Magnums

    I wish you could wear multiple holsters. They need to let you wear two holsters first. One one chest and second one gets thrown down onto your hip. Then another on the other side of your hip, then when you put a fourth on on the chest ones go under your armpit.

    But a more than halved carry space, maybe usable as a sidearm in inventory or slung across your back?

    Gas stoves look cool though.

    Did the C96 get considered. It can even use 9mm and clips or 7.63x25mm. And can have a special stock that doubles as a holster <3 It is my one desire.

    Cooldowns

    I see your respawn timer going terribly wrong. Eg, killed by bandit 20 seconds from spawn. 1hr of anxious waiting later. Killed on coast by bandit again. Result, bandits think they're funny. Some people have limited playtimes, honestly they might be on for an hour/ two max per couple of days. They don't need to wait every time they get killed after spawning by some already incredibly annoying bandit. Server one is good though. Maybe increase it to half an hour after two hops. Then to a whole hour after four within an hours time.

    Yay C96^ <3

    lefty or righty

    That's how left handed people use bows.The drawing hand has to be much more co ordinated as you pick arrow and get it on the string.
  13. Pls vote, we have both servers now so we no longer have to argue. But from videos I have seen first person servers don't seem numerous could this be an issue if First person servers prove to be popular?
  14. Lets keep the third vs first person arguments down alright? Most people have heard every point and we now have first person servers maybe the hardcore realists and roleplayers will come more prominent in the first person only servers. I see a lot of KoS people in videos using third person to their advantage. First vs third person in cars arguments can possibly go on though it has never really been discussed, and assuming windows can be broken... Then that will be a major avoidable disadvantage when driving.

    Level of Weaponry Available (Poll)

    But all still pretty rare right?

    Post Your Gear So Far

    ^ keep in mind you'd need a mag for that FNX

    Very poor performance on GTX780 SLI amd8350

    I run it pretty dam fine on a single gtx 660ti
  18. I would like it if everybody would use direct.Maybe they could make it, mic is always on in a very short radius (say five metres) pressing the direct chat would just increase the range. That way people using teamspeak may aswell be whispering into a military radio frequency. They can no longer use other programs so easily to just talk between one another in another persons presence.

    Would probably want an intervention over an AS-50 but... If it's going to be super rare and doesn't serve a vital experimental experience for the devs (weapon attachments) then it doesn't need to be in the game early.
  20. I may have split the communities preference into three separate groups.Sorry Rocket :)
  21. Kvsk might be better, but the duping issues make it too common.

    Item Spawning

    That's the right amount of assault rifles.
  23. I think first person should be for everything aswell.If you have ever driven you should know that in a car you really have limited feel of where each four corners of your car are. I suppose people are always going to have their preference, but I know I play dayZ for the most realistic apocalyptic simulator available. I don't care if I can get 1 hit in the chest by a pistol. I don't care that being shot in the leg forces me to limp. I don't care that sometimes my player is hungry with no food. I don't care for anything that ain't really necessary that also detracts from my level of immersion.
