    DAYUM!

    Found 2x pristine Press-vests, 1x anti-stab-vest and 1x Olive High-Cap Vest on Toilets and in other sheds!

    (Yeah, I was running around the total coast-side and then from the very south-west-corner to the NWAF and checked almost any house/building I came across), BUT STILL:

    It is WORTH checking everything! (Now also the "useless" houses spawn quite cool loot)

    TBH, duct tape is strong and durable as hell so I think it would take a while for the tape wrapped around it to break, if at all.

     

    TBH. Bullets where made to go through flesh, meat, bone. Can also penetrate thin walls and even metal. Can pop rough leather tires, and hurts like hell. Duct tape is nothing. gibonez is right.

     

    You apparently have never shot a weapon....

     

     

    tensile strength is a different thing entirely from compression and impact strength. Looks like you don't know jack....

     

    you don't know jack about duct taping stuff together.

     

    if you got some bits of bottle and tape you got yourself a bottle

     

     

    Alright boys, looks like we need Socrates!

    This is a game, so why not balance this out a bit, so that .22-rounds benefit more from an improvised suppressor than other guns?

     

     

     

    I haven't played DayZ for some weeks now, pls tell me: Can we somehow suppress the Magnum/Longhorn with either the pistol-supp. or the improv.-supp? Because I seriously hope not :D

    Well, the dev is talking about being able to dissassemble guns and put their parts into your backpack, so maybe carry a M4 on your back and if you see a player running around a town you just sit down and assemble your mosin.

    But I don't think (dis)-assembling a Mosin would work...

     

     

    The guns it would work with (as far as I know) right now: M4 and Blaze 95. The Trombone-.22-shotgun-like-rifle will also be added in the near future, AFAIK.

    This is about balancing.

    43dy3z9a.gif

    I have written this kind of post like 3-5x already.... ;)

     

    Sometimes realism must be screwed over for game-balancing-purposes.

     

    Now, if you could carry 2 weapons, like Mosin+M4, or SKS&AKM, etc. etc. you are geared for EVERY situation, you're like the Rambo for CQC and the Sniper from TF2 in 1 person.

     

    But I think, as it is right now, makes DayZ special.

    you have to make certain "decisions".

    Take M4, and be geared for CQC-med-range, and stay out of snping, long-range-fights, or take the Mosin + maybe sawn off shotgun, so you're geared for sniping and some CQC?

    However, you can already carry 2 weapons at the same time, but there is a drawback, because you run slower. So in fact, you CAN carry 2 weapons, and you are geared for every situation, from CQC - long-range. Buuut you are at a disadvantage concerning runningspeed...

     

    Do not forget! We have the option for SMGs like the MP5K, PM73RAK, AK72SU, too!

     

     

     

    But right now, you can have an AKM(AKM is just boss right now. Nearly as accurate as the Mosin, deals good damage, drum-magazine + PSO-1-scope), Mosin+LRS on the back, MP5K in your backpack and the Magnum-Revolver in the Chest-holster. That is 1 Revolver, 1 SMG, 1 SniperRifle and 1 AR/"LMG".

    And for the Colt Python/Magnum the true hipfire:

    hezhenqj.jpg

    :D

    (and also the ability to fan the revolver = moving the hand over the hammer while having the trigger pulled back => being able to shoot faster, but less accurate)

    But srsly, really good suggestion that "improves" the game!

    (though I think it has already been suggested somewhere sometime before)

    maybe you misunderstood me i love madmax and roadwarrior i hated beyond thunderdome it was cheesy i don't like the fact that in the new one you have these well kept models running around the desert when they would probably be starving and not have a pretty white smile that is what i don't like. the bandits and the vehicles look amazing and so do the emp type of stuff they drive through in the trailer. but those models with perfect smiles make me think its going to be a stinker probably a take this holy chick to the holy city while bandits try to kill thats been done over and over again in wasteland types of movies. sry for wall of text in advance

    ah, I underr stand you now^^

    Maybe these "models" have been kept as prisoners by the "Wild Bunch" and they treated their prisoners well, just some indian tribes used to :D

    You're dreaming. The Blaze is a filler piece of garbage, to be dropped for pretty much anything else.

    The AKM and M4 are more than capable in any of those roles, and with a scope and a skilled hand make fine medium range marksman rifles. I've dropped people at 400meters with both and have no problem dropping animals with the same. They truly are 'jack of all trades' guns because the only role they don't do well is long range sniping, everything else from PVP to hunting they excel. I would carry a AKM over any other gun in the game if I had to choose.

    Okay.

    On a more serious note, tho:

    Hasn't it ever occured to you, man, that DayZ is not about having the best gun, having the best clothing that gives the most slots in combination with having the best thermal-value in relation to being the most water-proof-factor while still remaining fairly camo-ed and giving enough protection against bullets AND melee? DayZ is also not about dropping people at 400m. Never..?

    Even Chris Torchia, the lead-art-designer said "...the end result of making it easier for there to be more leet snip0rs killing other players at long range - something we're not interested in encouraging at the moment"

     

    DayZ is not about being the super-hero posing around with the "best" weapon.

    If you want to be a poser, play CoD and do no-scope-kill-montages.

    sorry to burst into the discussion, but:

     

     

    from the weekly letter: 

     

     

    We’re also working on a Winchester Model 70 Alaskan which means I need to get off my butt and figure out a design for scope situation (i.e. one scope for many rifles).

     

    chris' post:

    http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/208692-do-you-think-the-lrs-will-be-removed-from-mosin-when/?p=2090576

     

    The blase has something like divots in its barrel which allows for attachment of a saddle mount - a type of mount which cannot be used on any other of our guns. That means the only way to satisfy the 'realism' junkies is to create a specific Blaze scope which can't be used on any other weapon.  

    Alternatively we introduce a generic 'scope' and then make people find the exact mount they need to attach to a given rifle and craft them together, which is a lot more work involving both the art and design team and has the end result of making it easier for there to be more leet snip0rs killing other players at long range - something we're not interested in encouraging at the moment.  

     

     

     

     

    does that mean the Blaze 95 will receive a scope, too?? :D

    dont hate on the video, guise :D

    My idea was based on a video of a ghillie-prank in DayZ I found some time ago.

    It was night, and a ghillie-suit-wearing guy lays in the grass and whispers "I see you" to passing freshspawns. And they don't see him, even though they stand less than 2m from him.

    Now that the chainsaw is confirmed and in exp.-patch.

     

     

    I waited for that moment to suggest:

     

    Can please someone make a chainsaw-prank in the night, and upload it to youtube?

     

    Best with 1-3 people having the chainsaw, apporaching from 3 angles, all starting up the chainsaws?

     

    (I know this prank is a bit heavy and may be morally walking on the line, but.... )

    Wanted a ghillie, got a ghillie. Shit happens and you shouldn't trust people.

    I wish you good luck surviving with a gilly-suit. 

    Just like you were OK to murder somene while trading, every other player you will meet, will most likely be ready to kill YOU, to obtain a ghillie-suit, too.

    So I wish you good luck, and enjoy the suit, while it lasts.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Oh, and I hope the next player-interaction you will have, will look like this:

    But from the enemy-, not from your side.

    The DEVs already said they will not include any NPCs in DayZ (I dont know if this is still their goal, but it seems pretty legit to me).

     

     

    Sorry that your idea gets shot down so fast, but it just does not really fit to the setting the DEVs are trying to build.

     

     

     

    For your suggestion #4:

    That's already in the works with persistence in general, and with tents in specific.

     

     

     

     

    but even these four suggestions I think would create a better dynamic for pvp than is currently available. 

    but DayZ is NOT about "pure" PvP.

    It's about survival in the apocalypse. Of course player-interaction is the MAIN-focus of the game, but PvP only a version of many other interactions.

    A bit more diversion would surely be nice, but is not immediately needed for the game's success.

     

     

     

    • Tracers
    • Hollow Points
    • Armor Piercing
    • Shotgun Slugs
    • Birdshot

     

    (even tracer and armor-piercing could be left out, IMHO).

     

    So "normal" ammo, hollow-point and maybe armor-P.

    For shotguns we need (of course) buckshot & slugs

    I don't see what's so funny, this is clearly a revolutionary product, and it's a sin the devs havn't added it to the game :(

    Yeah, even NASA-people work on developing such a wonderful product!
