'Mon then, you chubby coon! I'll set yer beard on fire!

Yes, I forgot about that intrical part of submarine warfare where you get out of the submarine and hide amongst the waves, pouncing on unsuspecting enemy uboats like some sort of aquatic panther.

That OREL camo sure looks ridiculous.

More civillian clothing.. Less military

Speaking of chinese knockoffs, I would really like some chinese camo gear. Specifically Type 07 camo. -
You must be new around here. Most of this isn't going to happen. Ever. There will be no health bars, there will be no respawn options, there will be no name tags. Learn to tell your friends apart by looking at them. Make everyone wear bright red caps if that's what it takes. This isn't an MMO, you're going to have to work for things around here. If you're going to tell your friends apart from anyone else, it's because you made the effort to memorize what type of clothes they're wearing, and because they let you know whenever they change their gear.

People aren't really complaining about balance or inequalities. They're complaining about being a master sniper in DayZ being child's play. Being a sniper is hard. I know a couple, and it's pretty much all maths. They don't just shoot on instinct, they have cheat sheets to help them range their scopes and compensate for wind, altitude, air density, atmospheric pressure, humidity, you name it. In the game though, it's point and click at the moment. If you give sniper rifles all of the advantages of being able to stay at long distances, picking people off, without any of the drawbacks, it's going to make for a not so fun game for anyone who doesn't have a sniper rifle. Why do you think scopes have all of those nice squiggles and stuff? That's not just for show, those are tools to help you do maths. Here, read the first segment of this article: http://www.cracked.com/article_20052_5-weapon-myths-you-probably-believe-thanks-to-movies.html This part in particular: "Snipers aren't deadly because they carry the biggest guns; they're deadly because they've learned how to weaponize math." Truer fucking words were never said.

Finding rope is too difficult at the moment. Burlap sacks and rope make for a great newbie backpack, but the way it works now, finding a real backpack is ten times easier. These items need to be more common. Especially in industrial places and on farms.
-
Haven't you been paying attention? Yes, pretty much. If getting handcuffed, having your pants stolen, and being force-fed rotten fruits and disinfectant bothers you, clearly you're in the wrong place. Because that's pretty much this game in a nutshell. Either you get manhandled by sexual deviants, or you get shot on sight, more often than not by someone who though you were the sexual deviant, and were merely protecting themselves.
-
First of all, you mean S&M. And secondly, if you're not into that, why did you even buy DayZ in the first place?
-
Maybe we should add a radar will blips showing anyone running or shooting a weapon for you, too? I mean since you don't want to be blind. We should probably add name tags above everyone's heads too, just so you know who killed you. And a kill cam. And messages when you try to drink disinfectant, telling you "this is dangerous, please reconsider". DayZ is a "thing" and that "thing" is very a specific type of game. One that doesn't give you a lot of information. It forces a lot of things on the players. Either like it or fuck off.

Why is der a F****** hide body function!?!?!
Sencha replied to Fre4krider's topic in General Discussion
Disintegrating a body is not a viable tactic. If you don't want people to get the gear. Sit there and guard it. -
I play a lot of 3rd person, but I can't even argue that it's easy mode. You can stand behind a wall and look over it with your magic floating invisible camera of cheatingness. It gives KOS noobs a huge advantage when stalking unsuspecting players.

If You Could Add Any Gun To DayZ, What Would You Add And Why?

It's belgian though. -
Please add a death playback /killcam optional function into the GAME
Sencha replied to msy's topic in Suggestions
"To seek and eat, to hide and die." Inspiring words. Puts Churchill to shame, he does. Their Finest Hour is garbage compared to this. -

OP is a brilliant orator, I'm going to put that shit in my sig. -
The Ruger MKII Is Coming, But Whats It Like?
Sencha replied to leefriendfield's topic in General Discussion
.22 LR can kill someone. It's not effective at it, but it can certainly happen. Shooting someone in the head is supposedly super effective, since the round doesn't have enough power to go through the skull twice, it just bounces around inside the brain. Pretty brutal. -
You went to Balota... Might as well go to Electro on a full server, with pants on. Here's a tip: Every single airfield in the game has at least 2 guys waiting to shoot anyone that comes close to it. Even if you're on a server with only 3 people, you and 2 others, they're both going to be camping the airfield that YOU are walking towards. Just stop going to airfields if you don't want to die.
-
Balota no longer spawns tac vests/certain gear?
Sencha replied to exomonkeyman's topic in General Discussion
Can anyone confirm that the tactical vest is still in the stable release? I have only found UK assault vests so far. It's been ages since I saw a tactical vest. -
The Anti-Game - Why DayZ will stay a crappy game
Sencha replied to tommes's topic in General Discussion
-
I'm on board. Even if it's something that doesn't benefit the player directly. But then neither did fixing server hopping, so what the hell. Go for it. The game benefits from it.

If You Could Add Any Gun To DayZ, What Would You Add And Why?
Sencha replied to leefriendfield's topic in General Discussion
The FN P90 and FN Five-seveN. They come as a set, really. And the reason being because they're the coolest things ever, and their ammo is armour piercing. And none of this rails shit on my P90, it has a good reflex sight already, don't fuck it up and ruin it by putting a bunch of acog scopes and shit on it. It's a submachine gun, it doesn't need that shit. Also, the M1 Garand, because it's an awesome mid-long range battle rifle. -
Yeah, if you get closer. But being a sniper and shooting from up close are pretty much mutually exclusive concepts. Hence, add wind to make it more realistic, all the while diminishing the advantages of having a scoped rifle in the process. It's a win-win.
-
No hand-holding. Learn to shoot properly or get closer, scrub.
-
Call it realism, then. None of this handholding "Oh you don't have to worry about wind and atmospheric pressure affecting your bullet trajectory, just put the crosshairs over the enemy and pull the trigger, we'll take care of the rest for you. Who's a big boy?! You're a big boy! Yes you are! Yes you are mommy's big boy!" bullshit. Also, you spelled heroin wrong in your sig.
