I remember when I first got a crippled head on fallout 3, I couldn't work out what was going on XD I was like, WHY IS EVERYTHING FUZZY!?I'd like a authentic sort of dazed and confused system.

Dem shotputters.

Yeah, any place that military gear is still available should have a good reason for it not being gone, people went failed, made it harder and the trend keeps going, untill the place is protected by an army of zombies unbreakable by the most.I wanna see evidence ofrevious survivors and notes telling of legendary deposits of loot, stowed away military russuply trucks by the humble a humble survivor who was to come back to it, but died :( er ners!

If they have LMGs at all.It would probably balance the effectiveness of the LMGs having more to worry about than just ammo itself. At the same time, things with tube mags get a boost, I wanna see a few .22 guns lever action or semi autos with tube mags. A few more medium caliber bolt actions aswell.

People spawning with pistols is pretty much going for PVP anyway, give them a crowbar for zombie defence.A .45 ACP should 1 hit a DayZ zombie because they rely on their normal organs to operate and, a bullet to the heart or lungs should kill a person. Bullets are designed to kill with centre mass shots, they don't purposely make BB guns that can only kill with a eye shot, because your gonna is five times and they're gonna kill you once with a 7.62 round. No bullet should instakill that isn't making a fist sized hole in the chest, you should be knocked out with a couple seconds an attentive friend, might be able to save you, although very unlikely. Leg & arms shots should never insta kill, even a .50 cal that blows your leg off, I wanna block off the bleeding and find my friend a peg leg. Small injuries like 9mm leg shots should be less serious, but body shots should be serious stuff.
-
Aslong as you know where the bullet is meant to go I'd say you'd eventually get it.I've held an early m249 model that the NZ army uses, and from video games I know that belt fed LMGs have a sort of lid on the top and that's where to bullet gets loaded, then you wanna cock it to load the bullet in. However its hardly worth carrying around an LMG if you can't find belt mags.

Player decisions: Unlocking new Content
AP_Norris replied to joe_mcentire's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Not sure about a shiny tank, but something like a T72 with a broken firing pin (fixable/ replaceable but ammo's rare) and Broken tracks (mendable but is very fuel hungry) and... A bit of rust to clear up sounds good, but everything should have a counter... A big enough IED should do the trick, jihad car? I'd like to keep a it similar to the way it is now, its hard for a single guy to fix anything up tank should require at least 3 with 5-7 hours of searching under their belt (not loot stacking like you people probably do). Tank shells should spawn in military areas, climb inside old, cramped burnt out T72 tanks to see if there's a working firing pin or live round in the chamber. -
Is there mountain lions in Chernarus? Those things stalk the shit out of people. My old social studies teacher said one stalked a guy into town and when he got attacked a guy on a bike stopped, picked up the bike and used it to fight off the lion. Mountain lions and... Bikes as a melee weapon?
-
But, if bullet ballistics are anywhere near realistic you'd only need one 7.62 and maybe a good knock on the head with a buttstock.I'd like to see one handed holding an LMG with a belt but no box, I can has it Rambo style?
-
I suppose if I go on a US server and use my even more superior than normal NZ accent, 'the mighty southland accent' they shouldn't make out a single letter, except Rrrrrr's
-
Is shooting people from that distance hard? I wanna know because I can hit good 60m + shots on a block of wood the size of my head in the paddock out back.This is with a 4Kg 1000fps .177 air rifle from crouching with iron/ night sights. It's a single shot per cock gun so I go up and check where I got with each shot so I pretty much have no referencing for adjusting my aim, I just guess an approximate area I should shoot in, to the left because the sights are out and a bit higher since its sub sonic. Just wanted to know if that's actually a good shot because I have no scope and the block of wood is barely visible yet I can hit a crusty birdshit off it.
-
Couldn't the game block you from hearing anything other than in game sounds somehow? Even if it can though I still have Skype on my iPad and most of my friends have it on their phone.

Maybe you are able to give your companions a special bit of paper containing the code, not morse code but code in words for other words and for anybody but your friends with your code it shows up in unrecognisable gibberish however the code can be stolen off dead bodies.

I think a server should just start with sensibly spawned zombies, low in country, medium in towns, lots in cities and massive hordes in those areas like the military tent hospitals and roadblocks. And since they wander it should balance itself out after a couple of days. Zombies should spawn when there is a low population of them in that area and there isn't too much player log in and off activity to determine whether its a base or not.

I want the Jamie zombie to have a pneumatic ram on his arm.

Firing without mags has been confirmed by rocket btw.

More Powerfull Admin Tools for restoring players killed by hackers or known bugs
AP_Norris replied to Mikeloeven (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
More frequent saves so rollbacks aren't as bad does the trick. -
Better start shooting at centre mass so I don't miss the big slow slow zombie.
-
I think like mr Micheal vodoo above me says any variation non zombies should be what they are wearing or just basic body type. Not wierd behaviours and mutations like spitting acid and doing flips from building to building, I think anything like that I would rather have added in by mods so I have that choice there. I like the idea of defence force zombies with Kevlar clothing providing great protection against small bladed weapons. Occasional zombie with bullet proof vest, motorcycle helmet, football boots? (Loud on paved areas faster on grass) Police zombies occasionally found with pistol in holster. If Rocket keeps zombies as a single texture but allows for an item or two to be pasted over every tenth zombie or so It would be great, logically clothes you find on a bloodied up half munched on zed wouldn't be in the best condition which is a good excuse for not being able to take the commoner types clothes and stuff. I think zombies with good equipment should preferably spawn specially instead of randomly.

infection gives players infected like attributes

A lot of doctors just do the antibiotic thing.They aren't sure exactly what it is or they know what it is but it looks aggressive so they prescribe antibiotics. If in doubt antibiotics. -
I'm pretty sure if you can eject a live round you can also breach load it.
-
It wouldn't defeat situational awareness, just spam R quickly.
-
I pretty sure COD even has 3D scopes with only in scope magnification.
-
I have a 4x scope for my air rifle that I can't really use because the mounts move and I know that when you get the scope in the right place its perfect.If you having trouble with black stuff flashing over your screen you might have your eye too close. I also want 3D scopes instead of that overlay you describe so we can see out the sides although unfocused.

Double tapping R I think should be snap reloading. You have to push R twice before your hand is on the mag release or else he grabs it and puts in pocket before grabbing another.
