heyheyhey. 1. First of all, I think the "zombie-virus" only affects humans. 2. Pigs are genetecally closer to humans than dogs, snakes or spiders to humans, I think ;) Overall, not a good idea.

Not the Lasso-idea ;)

Dat Lever action rifle @3:50 I hope we'll be able to saw it off, too (Yeah, guns, I know. But I'm not as thrilled towards horticulture as I was for Hunting ;) )

I see your SCUT, I raise the "schwerer Gustav" Hell, it's even mounted on 1-2 rails for the "easy use on the move" ;)

You could have also said: "I wanna see more KoS-sniping on longer ranges and less player-interaction" Scubaman/ChrisTorchia already said, that they will not implement a "modern" sniperrifle anytime soon, because this would mess up the in-game-weapon-balance quite heavily. A modern(& also more powerful) sniperrifle would encourage to kill-on-sight from longer ranges than it already is. Also it would not not encourage player-interaction :)

I'm sure that you could put a shotgun-shell there. Leather is quite "flexible". but again, feathers on hats are also nice... :rolleyes:(Three Musketeers!)

http://dayz.com/blog/status-report-week-of-25-august-14 persistence for all serverssss Horticulture no more Zeds clipping through closed dooors and weather having an impact on players directly

maybe also some storage on the Cowboy Hat? there's this leather-strap around the hat. Small items (like you said, shotgun shells, batteries, pens) could be stored on the hat. 1 between 2 rivets

that's right. that's why I wrote that the Mosin has 5, and not 10 shots B)

Try to look in Piano-houses and maybe garages. I have heard some magazines now spawn in civilian weapon spawns.

Jamming has been suggested multiple times before, too ;) But I, too, think jamming is a great idea. Guns like the M4, AMM & AK101 are powerful, but have a higher risk of jamming. Weapons with simpler mechanisms, like a Revolver, Blaze95/IZH-43-shotgun, Mosin, etc. could have a way lower risk of jamming (their trade-offs lie in low "magazine"-capacity (revolver has 6 shots, mosin 5. Blaze/IZH have both 2 shots) and slower RoF overall) I dont really know, if blank-shots could be implemented, due to the system and the engine. This would mean a weapon could fire 2 "different" types of the same ammo (or 2 types of different ammo at all)... However it could be possible, I imagine

Hmmm. A pocket watch :D Here, hav' mah beanz!

^_^ I have to say, server-hoppers and dupers don't limit MY fun in DayZ in any way. Some people may not have the time to loot and scavenge, so they take the easier way and serverhop. Also the DEVs have stated somewhere some time ago, that they actually "want" serverhop (dunno what was the reason, but they said smth. like this). And once "global" lootspawn works, server-hopping may not be the easiest way, too.

There is no list needed. the problem is that 1 type of ammo has a fixed bullet-"damage" and velocity. The barrel length is unimportant right now (sadly). So a .357-lever-action carbine will have a bullet-speed of 360, while Mosins, M4s and AKMs all have above 700/800, I think.

Cr527 = SKS with 5 round-magazine and bolt-action (slower RoF) AKM = SKS in full auto with 75 rounds, PSO-scope, bipod and slightly better accuracy (that's just what I know/think, tho) @Katana: There's also a muzzlebreak for the MP5K in the gamefiles. Also the gamefiles suggest, that the LRS is attachable to the Ruger 10/22.

I think we could see an exp.-patch this wednesday, since last exp.-patch was implemented on 1st August. when will it hit? what will it bring? Maybe the new pump-action-shotgun? Maybe slugs will spawn? Maybe working persistence for all servers? Maybe we'll see the lever-action cowboy rifle? Hype-train has no brakes!! Choooo Chooo!

for germany pic-upload.de works very well ;) But on a sidenote: With the next stable patch all characters &servers will be wiped, probably (so you start as a fresh-spawn again) edit: stinkenheim was faster xD

heyheyhey, slow there ! ;) Is he talking about the Tent-camp "below" the air-base, or about the mil.-base in the middle in the woods under Pavlovo?

what do you think am I doing very often? I rarely find rope. Some days ago I found 2x PU-scope(pristine!!) in 1 garage, a hacksaw and leather-jacket in the other 2 garages! (but I already had a sawn off Mosin and leather-jacket, of course). THAT's my luck :D

Then make the items needed to craft one harder to find. I personally prefer the idea of needing to craft a suit, rather than just running to XY-location Z-times and then simply finding it. Or "punish" the use of a ghillie-suit. Limit the inventory-space, for example. No big backpacks, pants or jackets. Or just allow a backpack, but no pants/jackets when wearing a ghillie-suit, since the suit itself takes up the Chest- and Leg-slot.

Craft a gun-strap out of rope? Yes, but ONLY, if rope-spawns are increased "dramatically". I mean, at least every 2nd or 3rd house shouold have 2-4m of rope somewhere. Right now, rope is harder to find than a can of soda, for example, even though in reality a house is much more likely to have rope than a can of soda ;)

I don't really understand, how people want "more attachments" for their weapon, even though there are still some items/weapons in DayZ, which have gotten NO attachments at all. (Like the Blaze 95, Ruger 10/200, CZ 527, P1-pistol) Ghillie-suit has been suggested already many many MAAANY TIMES. ;) No clear answer from the DEVs. I personally don't like the idea of ghillie-suits, but well... ;) I think a ghillie-suit should only be able to be obtained by simply crafting it. For this I would suggest: 1 burlap sack + knife + sewing kit: Craft: Top(chest+arms), Trousers(legs) or "Hat". (For a chest-piece you'd maybe need 2 burlap-sacks). Then: Add either grass, spray-painted rags, kindling/sticks or coloured threads to it. Additionally, Ghillie-suits could degrade over time (=loose grass, rags, etc.), so after a certain time you'd need to "refill" the Ghillie-suit-item with either Rags, Grass, kindling or thread. So all in all to craft a total ghillie-suit a player would need ("level" of difficulty to obtain a certain item): Burlap sack (3-4 pieces) (medium - hard)Sewing kit (or heavy duty sewing kit) (medium - hard)Knife/Machete (easy-medium)Grass, Sticks, Rags, etc. (very easy) The DEVs clearly stated, that they want to keep the UI as simple as possible (So no names above players, no big menu to pick actions from(=that'y why F1-F8 are used for gestures)) Chris Torchia said in a stream, that the DEVs will probably implement a "heavy duty sewing kit" to repair items, which are made out of harder material, like backpacks or the leather jacket.

^this^ DEVs said, that they need a better hit-clip-detection-system on a better "engine" for coats/dusters. But now, that DayZ's engine will be changed, I think this will come surely somewhere some time in the future. And yes, we NEED Ponchos. A Poncho would increase the bad-assery-level over 9000, increase Revolver- and lever-action-firing-speed by +20%, increase damage by +15 and the Poncho-wearer is immune to stupidity and irony. and with Ponchos, animations like this:

I would like to quote you here: "Use search-function" ;) Has been suggested multiple times already :P But I think this is nevertheless a good idea. However, I would also like to "change" the inventory a bit, because a bandage is not as big as a bullet. Or a soda-can is not as small as a bullet. A road-flare has not the same size as a chemlight or a pen. Dividing every square in the inventory in another smaller 4 squares would be cool.

not just "fluctuate" It was a real chat-spam³ xD
