:D yeah, why?

Nopenopenopenope. Sleep should never be a "must" in DayZ. Sleep should always be optional, IMO, I personally don't like the idea of this, but I see the "need" and I understand many people want this. So why not: Sleep is not mandatory, but gives slight bonuses/boni. Like: increasing the stamina by +X, so you run +10/15% faster for 1 hour bringing you into "healthy" status, even if you only are hydrated&energized level 1 etc. I am "pro"-sleep, as long as it's not mandatory. ;)

also there won't be a DEV-Report today, but tomorrow, according to Hicks tweet^^

Who's that?

I have nothing serious to say, but I'll say it anyway :D A quote from Skulduggery Pleasant: "Embrace your inner lunatic. Fun times guaranteed."

Hm. If you want a CZ527-Rap really that bad, maybe write a letter to Eminem? :) Srsly tho ;) I think being able to spraypaint the burlap sack (and thus, letting the players decide to either craft a green or brown backpack, or green or brown mosin-wrap) would (maybe) an even better idea, considering you get the same result for the Mosin-wrap, but also more difference to all other burlap-sack-crafted items. The DEVs are very very careful with sniperrifle-attachments and overall, because SRs encourage KillOnSight on longer ranges. People just go PvP, sit down on a hill and kill unsuspecting players, which is not good. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/208692-do-you-think-the-lrs-will-be-removed-from-mosin-when/?p=2090576 If you think the CZ527 is "limited", think about the Ruger 10/22, the Magnum or the Blaze 95 :) But there is an optic in the gamefiles called "Hunting_scope_12x" or smth. like that. Maybe this scope will fit on the CZ527. Sooner or later, there will be an optic for the CZ, I'm rather sure. Also the DEVs removed the bipod from the Mosin, because of "realism". In reality a Mosin can not really attach a LRS, either without modifying the "railsystem" heavily. And once the scope is attached, you need to "calibrate" it accurately, too. In the future, the DEVs will probably also remove the LRS and thus, turn the Mosin into a "jack-of-all-trades"-Rifle. And once the PU-scope receives it's real "zoom"-factor (which is x3.4), the Mosin will still be pretty lethal on long ranges. P.S. Nice avatar ;) I'm really looking forward to the new MaxMAx 4 film

actually... i bet i have seen brass knuckles or smth. like this in the gamefiles-pic on reddit EDIT: http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/2eufwj/exp_049_828_discussion_unofficial_changelogthread/ck3c1p4

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
