I dont know about that. The bandits are just in more need of attention.

Dear god that is cool

Heck ya! I have been waiting for loot respawn to start working, for me its the thing that the game was missing.

If you didnt want third party coms the only realistic solution is a private community that agrees to a set of RP rules. There are way to many ways around voice chat.

You are miss-informed. The server always has some say in player position because it has to reconcile the difference between you, the server, and other players perceptions in time. The more power the server has the less there is for hackers to get into. The rubber-banding will be addressed.

Id recommend arma 3. Its a really good pvp game. This game is a survival horror game focused on player interaction.

Do you know where I can go to find information about attachment systems? I honestly dont know much about them, I know my pistol IRL has an under-barrel mount for a light or laser, but as far as an AR goes I actually have no clue how cross compatible any of the modern attachments are, or how easy they are to attach.

So much this.

Streamers always need to be aware that they have an audience and act as an example for the community. However the community should not try to lynch them for any slight infraction. I would not use said amo because the data could be corrupted and cause problems with my inventory.

I think the point is that you can get a reasonably functional arrow easier than you can scrounge and mix chemicals to get a reliable enough powder that will create meaningful compression. But if we want even easier, we have thrown spears, slings, and sling shots that with a bit of practice could all end up being lethal :) Was having trouble finding 'speed shooting' with a crossbow, but using this midevle styled one he was getting about 1 bolt off every 10 seconds, with what looks like a low draw tension http://youtu.be/HagCuGXJgUs?t=2m23s This one shows 8 bolts per minute: and here is a muzzle loader at around 3 per minute guy is moving FAST too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8a6nKuAnSO8 Like I said, black powder weapons would be cool as hell. But finding/making powder, noise and reload times are a trade off for accuracy and range. Also thought this was interesting: And lastly I may have stumbled on something I could like more than paintball ...

Make sure you adjust your power savings options, and graphics card options if it has two in it. Also you may or may not get some more fps out of this guide: http://dayzintel.com/dayz-standalone/dayz-standalone-performance-guide

Game design/ballance. Though I agree it is a bit much for a small boost in your ability to shoulder the weapon. However I wouldnt get to used to how weapons are right now as they are going to most likely be doing a balance pass or two. They will be adding environmental factors to effect bullets like wind ect.

I find a calm double tap on the axe button often does the trick. This is a known bug though and hopefully will be improved in the future.

WIth a CQB. Yes.

Thanks for the link

Id enjoy what little time I had it before it exploded all the more.

Yes they will most certainly add a 'landing' animation should they add a jumping one. This is not the realm of the bunnyhop. You will not use it as an evasive move.

Though I believe it would be overly difficult, if not impossible, to create meaningful gunpowder and arm a muzzle loader McGuiver style, That doesnt mean it wouldnt be a fun addition to the game at some point ;) Especially if you get the huge-ass cloud effect when you fire it.... I still think you could train someone how to arm and shoot a crossbow well faster than you could teach someone how to arm and shoot a muzzle-loader. Let alone how to smelt their own lead and make their own gunpowder. Edit: This is what I am talking about. Your not going to be killing anyone with this :P

CQB will murder your accuracy, in return you can shoulder and aim the weapon slightly faster. I dont think the trade-off is worth it at the moment.

At first im sure they will still have to restart. But as the code gets cleaner it will become less and less necessary.

"all taken" does not mean "rare". Your logic does not follow.

Than you can play on a private hive with custom spawn rules to your liking. Anything else?

The only thing said about them is that they will be hard to find. Hard enough that people MAY go to another server to steal one from someone else. Which, by the way is the real point of this topic. Visiting multiple servers, and playing in them. This is not server hopping. You may also opt out of this activity voluntarily by playing on a private hive. Mod's are planned for the game after release, you can join or create a server that has as many helicopters as you would like. Edit: loosing your gear is part of DayZ, no matter how rare it is.

Err...... NO? Making gunpowder worth anything is not that easy. If you know some magic formula that ive never seen let me know. It is actually easier to make a sharpened stick with a bit of fletching on the end. Loading a musket, on a good day, probably takes 2 to 3 times longer than re cocking a crossbow. There is no training on a crossbow, you lock the string back, place the bolt on it, aim and fire. For a musket you must: Insert a measured amount of powder, insert wadding, insert ball. Add powder to flash pan (unless you use a primer than you need to replace it) than you can finally get your one shot off.

Depends on the mac. Many high end PC's still have some issues at this point. To soon to tell IMO.
