    Winchester Revival Thread

    That list I just posted is to the context of "western world" based on Chernarus being based on the Czech Republic (as stated on the wiki).

    Winchester Revival Thread

    Alright sorry bout that, I was also responding to irishroy, whose post indicated the other usage, but lets examine what you are saying about the guns from the "western world". Chernarus is based on the Czech Republic, a country that shares a border with Germany Magnum-western 10/22-western FNX 45 despite its Belgian parents its made in America - western M4 Among its users the Czech Army, can't get more appropriate than that - appropriate B95 German-appropriate Mosin Russian- appropriate SKS Russian- appropriate izh43 Russian- appropriate The finally tally? 3 inappropriate weapons 5 that fit. Please do some research in the future before complaining about "western" weapons or immersion in general if you don't like people using a "tone" with you.....

    Context, learn what it is. In this context I am using western to describe the classic American west.

    why do the forums keep going down?

    About devs who use twitter and redit and not their official forums, Ive been in a a alpha and beta with such devs before, that is the only thing that has me concerned about the future of dayz. Seriously didn't end well with the other game.

    Winchester Revival Thread

    The only "western gun" currently in the game is the double barrel, and while it was used it is not exactly iconic nor were double barrel shotguns in anyway an American invention/exclusive to America, they were far more popular in Europe, heck my double barrel shotgun was made in Europe. The cheek piece on the Blaser is thoroughly European, as it should be on a German gun. The izh43 is actually Russian made. So an American lever gun would be the first "western" gun, we are hardly overrun by them.

    Trading Post

    I made that post and then realized that I really don't need anything, but i suppose sticks and morphine, also Iv starter kits not sure how many would be fair.
  7. I have had the same experience a the op, plenty of locations on low pop servers I could previously be all but guaranteed of loot are now cleaned out on most of the servers I play. Hoppers now seem to clear the entirety of NWAF, including the north and south most buildings, this I assume allows them to completely avoid the timer. Guess its time to go back to camping the airfield with a buddies. Best way to camp NWAF for hoppers, get a friend with a mosin and a pristine long range scope, scrounge yourself a damaged LRS, place the damaged scope on the catwalk in the ATC where your sniper has a good line of fire, hide your pointman/loot man along the back of the ATC away from most of the buildings, sit and wait, reset the bait scope as needed. Its a great recipe for loot.

    Is there no force effect to getting shot?

    For the military shot, getting hit in a ballistic vest tends to do that, the impact is spread by the Kevlar and plates, and as I understand it it feels like getting hit with a sledge hammer. Its not the shot that knocks the person over as far as i know its the shock. We don't have ballistic vests in game so that particular clip is irrelevant atm. Every one of those shots was an instant fatality, with the exception of the last coyote shot, that coyote was not knocked down and managed to run down off the dyke, the way it is handled in game instant fatalities are instant, give or take some lag. For every clip you post I could search and find one of an animal getting shot and running off to die somewhere else without getting knocked down. This gets graphic you have been warned. Yes rarely in my experience an animal will crumple up and fall and get back up and stumble a few steps, these are RARE occurrences. On the other hand Ive also seen rabbits jump 5 feet in the air after having their heads ventilated by a 22, I have also been charged by a wild hog that took a shot from a 270 to the forehead that penetrated the brain and lodged deep in the neck just forward of the shoulder the hog only made it about 10 feet. I once shot a crow at 250-270 yards with a 270, it took off, spilled its guts into the air mid flight and crashed into the hillside. Sure that crow kinda did what you are talking about, but it was doomed the moment I squeezed the trigger. Ive also seen plenty of twitching and flopping around on the ground Adding this to dayz is not a constructive use of resources, in the real world nature models some very strange death animations yes, but they are DEATH animations, not once have I put an animal down only to have it get back up and live. This is just my experience but it is a lot of experience. I don't just hunt, I have also raised livestock ranging from rabbits to cattle for most of my life, with raising livestock comes the unfortunate truth that some have to be put down do to injuries/illness, and the wonderful truth that they are made of tasty tasty meat, so in that regard I have seen more things die than most.

    Is there no force effect to getting shot?

    The first shot was what is refereed to as an anchor shot, he hit it in or near the spine just forward of the hips, note the clumsy movement of the rear legs, the second shot hit the neck or possibly the head severing the spine, and folding the moose up, note the spasms and jerking indicators of brain or spinal cord damage, it was in no way knocked down. I shot a white tail deer weighting about 85 pounds with a 7mm Remington magnum from less than 20 yards, my shot was good, shredding the boiler room (vital organs in the chest). The deer ran well over 150 yards on adrenaline leaving a blood trail consisting of drops as large as 2 inches in diameter spaced less than 5 feet apart. When I field dressed the deer I discovered the true extent of the damage, many of the internal organs had been liquified by the bullets passage, and still the deer ran normally for the 70 yards that i observed it from my hide. Bullets DO NOT knock animals or people down.

    Why did he just sit down?

    100% sure Ive covered my buddies when they log enough to be sure.

    Ruger 10/22 sugestion .. custom parts in the game

    There is a special place in the deepest pit of hell for people who use an archangel mod on a 10/22, taste that bad deserves to be punished.

    Ruger 10/22 sugestion .. custom parts in the game

    The only pricey American gun is the M4, and it fits. I would not be shocked to find a crashed or grounded A-10, that would explain why there are no herds of zombies, they were all dispersed by close air support! But making the gau-8 man portable? not a chance in hell Hercules couldn't handle that weapon.

    Ruger 10/22 sugestion .. custom parts in the game

    Have you seen a single house that you would look at and think, "Yeah these people had a spare $5000 to spend on an antiquated hunting rifle"? The argument is if that gun is in dayz, then the weapons available have nothing to do with the setting, therefore any gun can be included. I am against all that crappy plastic tacticool stuff on 10/22's in game or otherwise, but I am all for custom option such as thumb-hole stocks/synthetic stocks, and different barrels. Not only will it be fun to try and find that "threaded fluted bull barrel PRISTINE" but putting these types of items in will eat up spawns of other guns/ammo helping alleviate the current glut of guns that results in just about everyone having their ideal gun inside of 4 hours played.

    Ruger 10/22 sugestion .. custom parts in the game

    Wabbit season is allegedly coming soon and a 10/22 is ideal for hunting wascley wabbits. Tho yes you are right not exactly likely in a dump of en ex soviet state, but the the B95 is even less likely. As for the tapco crap on 10/22's. I hate it just as much as you on the other hand I would like to see stock and barrels for the 10/22 Pistol stocks and thumb-hole stocks could be fun, or maybe just the Hogue rubber over-mold stocks, here is an example of some fun I had building a 10/22 for a guy his parameters for it were "I want it to be more bad ass than anyone else's" Hand built mono pod and adjustable stock in a Hogue rubber over-mold stock, barrel is 23 inches in length and 1.250 in diameter. The length makes the gun a lot quieter, more akin to a loud nail gun.

    Thoughts on the SKS and B29

    What if I told you there are mounts that attach in the same way as the PU scope mount?

    Remington 700 is whatever caliber you want up to 458 Winchester magnum, for when you absolutely positively have to dislocate your shoulder! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remington_Model_700

    What Is Your BIGGEST Pet Peeve In DayZ?

    "Thats funny right there, I don't care who you are" I finally narrowed it down to inventory expanders that are not pristine just a couple minutes ago it could have something to do with books inside them, or items with flickering textures inside them, normally I would experiment the hell out of it to figure it out but I am done eating 5 minute timers for the time being. Just dropped all the potentialy offensive items and found a new server. Maybe tomorrow Ill mess with it again.

    What Is Your BIGGEST Pet Peeve In DayZ?

    Eating the log back in timer while trying to determine what is making me completely unable to interact with the environment or rearange my backpack Seriously, this could have waited for beta, it makes a simple matter of figuring out if its my items/what items or something else that would take 20 minutes tops drag on for HOURS.

    Thoughts on the SKS and B29

    Try the military building with a cell in it, also the hangars, and the barracks in that order. I am practically drowning in 7.62x39 and stripper clips.
  22. Franchi (DayZ)

    Thoughts on the SKS and B29

    There are a wide variety of scope mounts to attach a standard scope to a mosin, the main issue is typically the straight bolt handle and loading from stripper clips. As the mosin in game has a bent bolt handle and we have no stripper clips for it these are not issues. To sum it up yes, the mosin that we have in game SHOULD be able to use the LRS.
  23. Franchi (DayZ)

    Thoughts on the SKS and B29

    if the B95 is fixed to take LRS's (and it should be) then it will likley become the new meta, after all when shifted into dual fire mode it will kill anyone instantly.

    Stupid Bambis

    They reacted in a perfectly natural way, someone had helped them and they had enough loyalty/honor to try to help those same people. Now we could call that a dumb decision in dayz, but personally I would like to see more of it.

    FIX FOR FPS LAG BUG FOUND!

    Logged into my to my other account my regular character on that account has a bunch of compressed inventory items flickering textures on books and M4 components , and no real lag issues on the other hand my hardcore character on this account with fewer compressed items and fewer flickering items can't do anything...... The only commonality I can identify is that all of the characters having severe difficulty had damaged ammoboxes/med kits/storage boxes, but even that isn't solid as the one i dropped all those from still has massive lag issues, tho it CAN interact with loot/doors and kill zombies. Alright I think i cracked at least part of it, something is wrong with the new damaged state textures on containers, items in these damaged containers or the item itself seems to cause lag, if it wasn't for the 5 minute timer I would try to narrow it down (probably would have solved it inside 20 minutes), but I have already burned several hours of gaming time just to get this far, Ill do some more checking tomorrow when I am less pissed at the "joining server in....) screen.
