1 question to the user: Are you Arnie? If the answer is "No", then you can't use it. Simple as that ;)

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)

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

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. 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".

As far as I know, I already have seen a model of a water-sack made ouf of tanned leather + leather sewing kit! ;)

And for the Colt Python/Magnum the true hipfire: :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)

best first post ever + such a forum-name.

Well, in the DEV-stream it was revealed, that we will be able to build shelters, and so I post a suggestion/thread I had in my head for quite some time now ;)(Maybe when the DEVs are looking for shelter-models, they probably stumble across the word "Bushcraft" on youtube, like I did. ;) Many videos focus on "how to survive the first few days", and building a shelter is one of the main things. I will leave some videos down) The Tarp(not the usual DayZ-trading-tarp-trap) First of all, the tarp is some kind of a jack-of-all-trades-item. However, it could be found in different sizes, colours and maybe even materials.But also military (camo-ed like Flecktarn, etc.) and civilian types (in 1 colour like blue, dark green and brown)Of course there are different sizes in reality, but for gameplay-balance one size would do the job, too, I think. Civilian: Military: The Player could build a shelter, and then further improve it with a tarp.These shelters would work almost like a tent, but degrade over time. (So for X server-restarts the shelter looses -Y durability like water-proof, etc. etc., which leads to the result, that items inside the shelter degrade quicker and become ruined/useless) ==> Uses of a tarp:some kind of over-ponchothe player could sit down and wrap the tarp around him, if it's coldbuilding and further improving(=making waterproof) shelterscarrying/dragging wounded/unconscious players Some shelter-ideas:A lean-to-shelter (Storage: 30-50?) A debris-shelter.Storage: 30-40? With a tarp you could also set up something like a "free-hanging-tarp-roof". Storage: 40-60? Then you could "upgrade it with a hammock" for more storage ;) (+10-15) Another Tarp-idea: (German video, but it is shown how to fold the tarp, etc.) Another type of shelter: Bushcraft-videos overall: The Dakota Firehole

Oh Yes! Driving through Chernarus with the V3S, or or, when we have Sunglasses in our inventory:

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

watch your tongue, dood. ;)

#1 Craftable tents http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/2c5nhw/craft_able_tent/ Overall, this is a survival-game after a Zombie-outbreak. We can make improvised backpacks out of burlapsack, leather, rope and sticks. So let us craft tents ;) Of course, craftable tents should be different to the big camping-tent. The difference could be the storage, but also the level of difficulty to build such a tent and to aquire the needed items. Since such a tent is smaller, the items should be easier to obtain. They could look a bit like these roman tents: Probably required items: Obviously: Animalskins. Either Cow- or Deerskin (since these are the largest) Maybe 2-4 of them?Rope (1-3)(Ashwood)-sticks (3-5) Maybe: sewing kit (to "mount" the rope on the leather) #2 Camouflaging tents (all kinds, normal and crafted ones) http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/2c3c80/suggestion_adding_leaves_and_branches_to_tents/ With some kind of military tent or tarp With 1-3 ropes a improvised net could be crafted. Then add several sticks, kindling or leaves.These nets then could be simply attached to the tent like an attachment to a gun. Spraypainting tents! All kinds of tents (crafted leather ones or bigger camping-tents like the one we have right now) should be paintable with green, black or green-black (like the camo on the Mosin and CZ527). Since this normally takes quite much of paint, why not degrade the spray-can by 50%-100% after 1 use? What do you think? Yes, no, maybe? Too hard to craft or implement? :D

but hasnt been found within 1-2 days now... the only thing we can do right now:

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: chris' post: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/208692-do-you-think-the-lrs-will-be-removed-from-mosin-when/?p=2090576 does that mean the Blaze 95 will receive a scope, too?? :D

reminds me of "The Book of Eli" (sawn off 870, I think)

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.... )

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.

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 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.

I'm sorry, I couldn't resist I'm sure you all go fully now. (Saw the video either in a thread or on reddit and I just had to makean own thread)

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

You don't need to. The Archwood FlexTrek 37,000,000,000 WhipzZznake i-series DayPack-easy-breez black-geyser Version breathes for you.even in space! like this? Yeah, even NASA-people work on developing such a wonderful product! "You're no steve climber, but steve climber is - and he won't be found anywhere without his blablabla" The "Le Crevasse" has good "maneuverability", "durability".
