Canned Muffins

Zombie AI/ignoring geometry Bad User interface (no way to see fire mode on weapons) Hackers/scripters(even if I have yet to see one) Players being able to get into walls and see through walls Global sounds 6. Light passing through walls 7. Grass render distance

I think as long as they never make it onto a weapon platform. If they act as a shorter range binocular item thats fine.

We know the crossbow is returning and I think we should talk about how we want it implemented,how effective it is as a viable weapon,and talk about its loot table position. Quiver attached to system has 4 bolts on the latest screen shot of the crossbow. So one loaded and 4 for fast reload. I do hope we are given quivers or storage place for stacks of arrows in a more reasonable manner than the mod. I would like a quiver to possibly hold 10-20 bolts and not have that basically absorb all your storage inventory. Effectiveness of the crossbow should reflect the fact that it is used to hunt big game at times and was used as a weapon against humans for centuries. Getting hit in the legs will put a person on the ground landing one in the chest will end their life. For range lets say about 100 meters is its effective killing range. Zeds and players should be easily dispatched at this range and the stopping power of the bolts should be showcased. This weapon should be the silent death in the game used for hunting food or players. Bolts should be recoverable as claimed to be by Rocket and as for wear and tear of these bolts it really shouldn't be tremendous unless you missed a squishy target and hit steel and hard concrete. As for abundance of bolts and the crossbow itself I would have to say it would be fairly common in wilderness areas,barns, and hunter stands. Attachments I can foresee being quivers and optics and thats fine. I hope we see a much better version than we did with the bug monster we saw in the mod. Something with some balls would be much appreciated.

We now have the crossbow in experimental. I think to expand on versatility of the weapon system we can consider a variety of loads that the bolts will showcase. I don't think explosive loads are too appropriate but I do see poison and different arrow heads as fine. If it does not go this deep I think we should at least have craftable bolts and be able to taint them in some way.

I hope side text chat is brought back. Not voice chat though.

I havn't run into any even with larger populations but then again Id imagine that most of the scripters are just massacring groups of people on the coastal cities and military bases. They join in and ruin the Electro deathmatches and high traffic areas. Only advice for high pop servers is to get of the coast to avoid these players. Most are not very good at the game so they wont even be able to navigate the map correctly or will get lost.

400+ hours havn't seen a single scripter.

I was curious about this as well the only Hardcore experimental server wipes characters at every reset. Characters are not being saved at all after reset on experimental.

Crispy bambis everywhere.......

I see a musket as a slow and loud alternative to a crossbow. A crossbow I can see having a silent and fast effect on proximity targets.

Lack of trigger discipline?

The removal of that dot is going to cause more headaches then it will solve. Loot and interactive items need better interaction areas so that they are not as finicky. Currently the interaction with doors and looting items is clunky and touchy. You can clearly see items yet because you are not perfectly aiming at a certain point no options are available.

I noticed this as well with side arms and I think one of the duped mags is not actually duped but representative of a mag in the side arm. It seems like until this bug is fixed we loose a inventory space.

The sandbag bunker at the end of the North West Airfield spawns them as well as on the very top of the Air Traffic Control tower.

You have never fired a crossbow if you think 2 shots a minute is even close to how fast people can prep and fire in real life. It takes about 10 seconds tops to prep a crossbow if you are taking your time. I suggest you go prep a crossbow and notice you can do it in like 7 second if you are even mildly familiar with how to pull back the string and load a bot in the flight grove.(its not hard nor rocket science) In a minute you should be able to fire 7-8 bolts just fine. What we see is placeholder for fire rate obviously and the sights were not zeroed at all but its flight path looked fine. Even at 30 meters you could see the trajectory effecting the flight path. Again I think you need to do some research before you go on crusade against what crossbows can actually do. The reload animation after its "mag" was up was good but that should be every shot. From the video we see that 5-7 seconds reload and prep time is what we should see in a final product and correct sights that are zeroed.

Anyone know the experimental restart times because currently the four full servers means there is no food respawning. I logged off 2 hours ago then just logged in to the only Hardcore experimental server in Polana and No loot had respawned at all. I have a starving Hardcore character I can't really do anything with because they are starving to death and I am just waiting for a server refresh. I know where and how to find food with 400 hours under my belt but I have no idea when the Experimental servers restart.

If people are interested in seeing one crossbow system that can hit 100+ yards consistently and in a lethal manner than I will show you a model of crossbow that we wont see in DayZ but that exists as of last year.This man is hitting targets the size of softballs at 100 yards.Crossbows are going to be short range assassin weapons and tools for hunting than for PVP. If you are being shot at by a person with a firearm than you do have this system to fight with but its not going to be as effective. Also anyone thats interested there are systems that can hit up to 200+ yards but they say to not use the system against any animal at this range because it wont be ass effective as it would be at say 100 yards or less. Just because you can shoot at these ranges doesn't mean you should. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jv7kVexX3g

A person can load and arm a crossbow faster than 30 seconds and a cross bow can drop big game and humans in 1 to 2 bolts. This has been the case for cross bows going back ages we have versions that are huge and slow to operate but are basically harpoon guns or you have the faster reloading ones that pack a little less punch. The even had semi automatic crossbows with a magazine of 10 or so bolts if we are going to be talking strictly about realism. Hell why not even say that technically we can poison arrows and have explosive tipped ones. The weapon system is effective even against firearms because it is silent and because it is powerful. This weapon is no .22 its a big lethal bolt entering your body causing massive trauma. If you shoot something in the lungs and chest cavity expect to see that target drop from drowning in its own blood in probably a minute or so. Its not going to be moving fast or far after being hit either. We do have this as a game however so we will see how effective it really is. I am saying 1-2 bolts will drop zeds and players alike to a maximum of 100 meters effectiveness. 75-80 will be its optimum effective range but 100 will take compensation and most likely elevation. To be clear people using a crossbow will likely be using this around 50 meters most times seeing as this is where most firefights happen especially in urban areas. They just have to ability to hit targets further out if they are skilled enough to do so.

He sounds like someone I force fed rotten food and disinfectant after handcuffing them, stripping them of their cloths,breaking their legs and throwing a burlap sack over their head before I let zombies I led over to him eat his flesh.

I would honestly love the MP5 coming back. High fire rate and add a suppressor and maybe a coupled mag and mid ranged optic. I loved the MP5 in the mod and it was underrated but a great weapon against zeds and urban combat.

The ammo going from ruined to pristine bug better not be just splitting ammo and sorting it out because if anything that should be a feature in the game. I hope they mean unloading an M4 mag how all the ammo is pristine. Spliting and sorting ammo should stay as is because its a terrible idea that ALL your ammo gets ruined by say a single inflicted wound. Protective cases,boxes,and 300 round tins don't offer protection so splitting ammo and taking out the ruined rounds should remain.

Zombie types and classes more then what is already being added.(crawlers,hobblers,sprinters,ect...) Night time forest quest with hordes of zombies attacking Building forts Weapon/cloth skin packs.

Anyone want to imagine how awful looting items that fail to register with the inventory vicinity look will now be? It at times is ridiculously tedious to grab visible items that are on cabinets and above the players model. I don't care for the dot for weapons I care about it for looting. Rather it be an optional setting for those who dislike it. Crosses fingers that loot is fixed so its not so finicky to interact with.
