Hey up, I just had a thought about the reloading in games, just pressing the R button. What would people think to something much more complicated? I've fired a few guns and reloading can be fiddly. Bbf3/4 adding and extra click to cocking snipers but I was thinking something far more complicated. Have the number pad as the reloading section. For the revolver; you could press minus for extracting bullets. Then cycle through pressing 1-6 to remove each bullet, then press the + button followed by the numbers. If you had a speed loader you could press + and then 'enter' instead of 1-6. Since most guns reload differently the number pad can have different combinations as well so you have to learn how to use your gun. M4; maybe 4 & 6 to grab the mag, 1 & 3 to pull it down. Reverse to add a mag and then 7, 8, 9 to cock it. Anyways say what you think! I can imagine most people might find it faffy but it could make combat more interesting, make u switch to your side arm instead as its quicker.

Seen that before a while ago, quite clever. Shame it isn't really a game, put those mechanics into The Last of US, now that would be cool.

lol good point. I was just thinking of making guns more than just point and click but your right, it maybe just too much.

They should add to the humour that most people wont be good at knife throwing that you hit the target with the back end or side of the knife sometimes. Funny for the target to turn round, look at the ground, pick up the knife and throw it back at u.

Low level sun is bright and makes it difficult to see and I really like it! :) Low level sun is really hard to see in real life as well, so you put shades on or something. Later down the line when they develop sunglasses, this will be great for this as another tool for certain situations.

Anyone find this age verification on the forum slightly (not massively) annoying an also pointless? I can't see an age restriction on Steam so guess that's not the reason. Any bad language and the admins hit delete pretty quickly. Even on other websites that have these silly "enter your age" rubbish, kids will make it up anyway. I personally cant be bothered entering my date of birth and just change the year. I guess it's just for legal cover but from memory it doesn't say you need to be 18 before you enter (could be wrong I'll come out and in again after post). On another note, anyone notice it is harder to find Dayz on Google? I used to type Dayz and the homepage was there but not anymore, got do some digging and get it on your favourite list now.

Side text chat gets the thumbs up for me. Makes things more interesting from general chit chat, hunting people from giving their coordinates away, making friends, finding yr friends without having to use team speak or something. Saying that the latter could do with an extra channel as well to add yr friends in.

I haven't got time to read everyone's posts on this but I have a macro keyboard so could setup a macro to press esc, go to options, change to 1pp or 3pp and resume game. I don't know how many people use gaming keyboards but they could all do the same. Even if these keyboards didn't exist I don't actually see what the point to all of this is? In 3pp mode people will still be looking unnaturally around corners etc. So this won't prevent that?

I miss the castles, they were good. Standalone has a lot of places to gear up now though that even if they add more military gear to them they wont be the same.

I hope your gonna get a bigger hard drive ;) or you wont be running anything, not even windows. I guess you mean 120GB, but after formatting and adding windows you'll only have about 20-30 gb left. Enough for dayz I suppose but not much for anything else.

Ah just looked at the m39r, I recognise that baby. Maybe in the mode they will do the muzzle attachment that looks like robo's pistol

I know this is silly but what about robocops pistol??

Best thing to do is pick a dozen servers u use regularly and add them to favs. then just refresh them

This is a common issue, happened on the MOD with dayz commander as well. This doesn't happen will all routers I believe but my crappy virgin (not so) "super"hub is affected. when u refresh servers you ping thousands of them. Do it again then there are a thousands more servers to ping for details. if yr lucky to be bale to do this 3-4 times yr router gets overloaded and crashes. It takes a while to recover or u can reset yr modem.

Think I remember seeing him say that but it was for servers using multithreading and not for actual players.

Rather than building I would just like the ability it board up properties and then put yr own furniture in like safes, wardrobes etc. There are loads of buildings So u can pick any remote hut or house somewhere. Unlike the mod buildings were limited so custom rust style buildings were the only option. If custom buildings came an option they shouldn't be over the top unrealistic minecraftwhy structures or e game will turn into mine craft. Just my thoughts anyway.

Hi dev team, From a comment I made on someone else's bug report on m4 silencers; in the last two days I have received 200 emails from spammers on accounts 0002647 and 0003967. Please can you delete these accounts.?

I've noticed nobody mention TRANQUILISER PISTOL OR RIFLES!! They would be great since killing people could damage their gear (clothing/bags etc..). Then you can also let the player live once you got what you want from them. sorta like a nice bandit... a nindit. The stun guns were good in the mod.

My funniest moment is: I was in the hospital in elecktro; a mosin on my back and m4 in hand. I put the m4 down to have a drink. Just as I start drinking, a new spawn comes into my room. I couldn't cancel the drinking animation and the guy picked up my m4 and shot me :( I had been alive for a good 5 hours and was well geared too. I just had to laugh, it was funny yet annoying. At least with the bug, my body probably disappeared b4 he got much off it.

the mod had markers which I loved but hated as navigating was far too easy. Now that standalone got rid of placing destination markers, I'm relying on road signs, a compass and the sun. I've found many maps so I follow roads till I get to any road signs to figure out where I am. Problem with the in game maps they are in English while the road signs are in Russian or whatever it is. This makes the maps useless and keep having to flick to dayz db maps. Hope the fix them. Oh and the sun... Took me a while to realise that like the mod it doesn't travel the same path anymore; east in the morning, overhead mid day, west by sunset. Seems to be southeast, south, south west. Bit confusing, don't know if that's more realistic.

Bakercompany46 is exactly why I'm glad I'm not American and Obmama had the right idea trying to disarm civilians (even though he failed). Having 20 firearms in one house or family is crazy. I love guns in games and would love to have some sort of gun range u can go to in the UK to shoot all these different types, but they shouldn't be in anyone's hands. I'm not saying Bakercompany46's family aren't trust worthy but every family with a arsenal like this, a v small percentage of them will be dangerous. Theres no need in having a gun at home but since America has so many guns everyone wants one to defend against each other with. Wont be easy to disarm but this is crazy.

I know the combat logging has purposely been disabled but I'm looking forward to it being reactivated. I've played quite a bit now and had 4 encounters with players coming after me. 1 with an m4 but a bad shot. With plenty of zig zagging I got so close to him he had to run away... I got one hit with an axe and he quit. Had things like this a few times now. Another thing on the combat logging, on the mod the count down timer was a start but if u alt and tabbed to windows and then forced closed the game, u have the same effect. Although this may take a few seconds longer, it's a work around. Don't know if anyone has a way around this one? I suppose if u quit illegitimately like that the server can keep the player at its last position for maybe 20 seconds for well er being a cheat and give a zed or player a chance to kill them. Connection issues would be a problem though, if u lost it and died because of it, that would be annoying. What's everyone else's thoughts on this?

Sorry I don't read every topic, I just scrolled all the way to the bottom and saw nothing related. I did on the next page now though and there are a lot of posts in between.

There are different hand grips, one of them helps add attachments. Can't remember it's name but read the discriptions of them
