There's no way to know whether that was found on experimental or not.

Honestly dude, every thread about guns and you're all over it saying "They need to do this" and "they need to do that" and they should use these mechanics from this game and those mechanics from that game. It's getting rather obnoxious and I'm sure I'm not the only one who's noticed it. We get it.. You want realistic gun mechanics. Unfortunately, you're not a gun expert and you're not the one designing the game. I'm sure the priority of importance for Dean is: 1. What Dean thinks will be fun. 2. What Dean thinks the community thinks will be fun. 3. Some other shit from some game that some dude on the forums thinks is fun who is part of the vocal minority. I'm trying to say this as nicely as possible without being a total asshole..But please, stop tripping dick over the gun mechanics.

When I was 11 I fell face first out of a tree from about 15-20 ft.. (5-7 meters). I broke both of my arms, dislocated both of my wrists, broke my tooth, my nose, and put my bottom teeth through my lip. I survived... But it took me 6+ months to recover.. Oh, and I was 11 years old and much smaller/lighter than I am now. That said, people have been known to fall from much greater heights and survive relatively unharmed.

Funny thing is.. one of the guys I killed who combat logged, I was actually chasing down to give gear to.. I had a bag of rice, water, and a gun I wanted to give away. He went to combat log, so I popped him. :( Another guy got shot once, and rather than bandage and try to fight back, just logs.. why even play the game?

Ah, that's unfortunate. I've been told by countless people that bleeding + log out = death. They should make it that way.

Elektro and Berezino. Everyone spawns between Elektro, Kamy, Three valleys, Solnichny, Berezino. If you want to change it up, you could go to Rify.. A lot of people go there.. or go to NEAF.. A lot of people make that their "goal" after making it out of Berezino. or go to the road between Elektro and Cherno.. People will go to Elektro, gear up a bit, then head west. or just camp Elektro looking for Bandits.. That's why I do. If I am sniping over Elektro and I see someone with an M4 and a large backpack, I know they didn't get it from Elektro, because there's no military spawns for several kilometers.. So I assume they are there to prey on fresh spawns.

Watch the video. The floors in those jail buildings are not very thick. It's feasible that 5.56 may have penetrated enough to do some damage, esp. if fired from close range.

I am not ignoring your question, I was addressing another issue regarding your post. You said "bullet hit directly on crosshair" or something to that effect. (I'm paraphrasing.). I am saying - Even the perfect shot, your bullets will not hit directly on the crosshair. As far as your swaying problem, I do not know if this will work, but try the following: -Go into your control configuration -Find "Hold Breath" -Unbind it from Mouse2 -Rebind it to another button.. I use Alt, and I use my Mouse4 for "free look".. Doesn't matter what key you bind it to as long as it works for you. -When scoping in on your Mosin LRS, acquire your target and when you're ready to shoot, press the "Hold Breath" button for a split second right before you fire each shot. Reason being... Currently, the Mouse2 Button has 3 functions when you have your weapon up. 1. It looks down scope 2. It Zooms scope 3. It holds breath If you hold your breath for an extended period of time, your character is forced to take a deep breath, which causes massive crosshair sway. This may be your problem. It may not. Try it out and see if it still happens.

Guns in DayZ shoot through walls.. The thicker and denser walls are more protection. The lighter fire-arms are worse at firing through. 5.56 can fire through tents/aluminum siding/wood, but they bullet loses velocity quite fast after firing through an object, so the shooter needs to predict the bullet drop and also the rounds do less damage. 7.62 can fire through standard walls pretty easily, and lose less velocity. .50cal can fire through even thicker objects with little to no problem. Watch this video:

Actually, even with fully pristine parts, the Mosin shots land slightly left of the crosshair.. enough to where if you aim directly at someone you will probably hit the object left of them at 400-500 meters. You want to compensate for this by aiming to your right.

This thread again?

Last I checked, Black Tactical Shirt was actually dark blue.. have they fixed that? 'cause if not, then I won't wear it.. It's not black.

I'm pretty much in complete agreement.. How cool would it be to create some ladders and climb to the top of Devils castle, and barricade most of the entrances, though?

Really, all they would have to do is add a few key items into the game.. rather than people building huge bases out of plywood, you could add some of the following items: -Ladders (made from pieces of wood that we currently find around, along with rope) -Ramps (Made from several pieces of wood) -Doors (taken from buildings, found, or created) -Barricades (Found, or filled up sand bags) -Bricks (found) -Logs (harvested from trees) You don't need a super complex system.. Just items which allow you to actually climb/walk up to high levels, some operable doors/gates, and some kind of walls/barricades.

Best "black" gear loudout in my opinion -Black Cargo Pants (Yes, they are in the game.) -Black Shirt (Not Black T-Shirt.. Black Shirt.. It has 2 pockets) -Black Combat boots OR Black Wellies OR Black Leather Shoes.. Your call. -Black Leather Gloves -Black Hat of your choice.. I prefer the Black Radar Cap. -Tactical Vest or Black UK Assault Vest.. I prefer the Tactical. http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/595900720778064957/4A66F4A68119C6EFDA1A5FF455F8EF5DA02F2158/

BRB.. Getting a woman to interpret this post. Looks like Chinese to me..

I think you mean it will force encounters to be whoever sprays more bullets and lucks out with the RNG.. Yeah, that's sure to create a realistic feel to the game: Random bullet physics. Forget about realism.. Think about game-play.. What's more fun than a game where you just hold down a button and sometimes you get ruined loot off a corpse and other times you see a screen that says "You are dead".. You won't even need to aim, you just point in the general direction of your target and press the Mouse1 button. That type of game-play sounds a lot more rewarding.

I agree totally on air vehicles. Air vehicles serve to give 1 person/group of people the ability to destroy every camp and vehicle on the map in 1 play session. I should know.. My group on the mod controlled all 4 aircraft on a server for 4 months straight... and we were the only ones with any vehicles aside from the occasional ATV or motorbike. The only people who ever raided our base were hackers, until one of our friends eventually betrayed us and C4'd all of our stuff. In short: Heli's give supreme map control.

Simple... I want them to fix the core mechanics first.. Fix dispersion on weapons, so that gunplay is actually skillful and rewarding, rather than random. Aside from that, tents, hunting, cooking, etc.. All the "survival" stuff that makes you feel like you're actually living on the fringe.

As topic says.. How do I report something directly to the devs without posting it publicly? I found an exploit in the game and would not like to post this in public so people do not abuse it until it is fixed. Anyone know how I can contact the devs directly?

I say you and your friends are bad at the game, for several reasons: 1. Positioning: You should never put yourself in the position to get axed. 2. Situational Awareness: If someone does try to axe you, 2-3 of your squad should see it coming before they ever get the chance. You should also be able to predict their actions before they attempt them, and curb those actions before they result in someone dying. 3. Controlling the situation: I've never had a problem with new spawns attempting to jack me when I'm geared, because I control the situation. I am friendly but establish ground rules early on. I inform them not to draw their weapons or they will be killed immediately and without hesitation. I inform them that I am there to help and that I mean them no harm. I talk to them nicely but I keep enough distance that I would have an easy time putting them down before they could draw their weapon on me. I walk behind them instead of ahead of them. I keep my eyes on all members of their party at all times. If someone straggles off, I corral them back into position before moving further. I have eyes watching around us, so to avoid any surprises, and this leads to: 4. Map control.. In this situation "AO" or "Area of operation" control.. Control the area before engaging targets. Make sure you have eyes all around you.. If you have a sniper on North Balota hill, you should have another looking across the airfield East to West or West to East.. You should have at least 2-3 players grouped together keeping eyes on anything the snipers cannot see or would have a difficulty landing shots on. 3 out of 5 of you died, and you weren't even attacked by people with guns... Imagine what would have happened if a squad of 3 well coordinated and armed players would have showed up? Not bashing you.. Just trying to help. Players are as friendly as you are to them, and that friendliness is balanced by how much they think they can get away with around you. If they think they can jack you, they will. Example: Came across a guy in Stary Sobor.. he was a fresh spawn. I offered him help.. Food, water, some clothing, and a gun.. BUT.. Before I gave him the gun, I made sure my friend was aiming his gun at the fresh spawn, and I made sure to inform him to not draw the gun, or he would be killed. Very simple. He complied because he had no choice, and he made it off with our help, and we made it out of the situation safely. Edit: Also keep in mind that 100 hours in Stand Alone is not much experience in terms of DayZ.. Many of us have been playing since the Mod, and even having a full time job and most of my play time being on the weekends I am up to 276 hours in SA.. At least a few guys I normally team with have been playing DayZ mod since it was in Alpha.

Never have problems getting geared up.. Finding ALL the best gear can be time consuming, but certainly doable with a few hours of play time. Even without a gun, and with as bad as certain players are at the game currently, it's very easy to jack a camper in Elektro with an axe and steal his weapon. If you're not feeling that ballsy, just avoid high pop areas and go up the Silk Road.. Silk Road = Chapaevsk -> Balota -> Kamenka -> Zelenogorsk -> Green Mountain -> Veresnik -> NWAF -> Bashnya If you aren't fully geared after that, you're doing something seriously wrong. Furthermore, people need to learn to check more than the obvious buildings.. I can't tell you how many times I've found Mosins and other weapons in block apartments in large cities... or just in residential buildings in general. It's funny how often people run right by 2 shotguns and a mosin to go and die at the Fire House or the School in Elektro.

4 of my best friends have combat experience in Afghanistan / Baghdad. One of them was a door kicker in Baghdad and saw plenty of urban combat. He's laughing right now at your posts, because you clearly don't know shit.

Dean, when was the last time somebody told you that you're beautiful?

Not sure if it has anything to do with the countdown timer, but that sounds logical. His body laid there for less than a minute, I'd say.. I shot him, killed him, moved up a few meters to get a visual on my friend, and by the time I looked back to see if the body was still there, it was gone.. Less than 2 minutes, for sure..
