Franchi (DayZ)

same here, it was not the flickering textures for me, once I ditched my medkit and two protective cases the flickering on my M4 components stopped, went back to the server where I had left the boxes, re looted the medkit as nothing in it was flickering, went to the other server, flickering textures back on my M4 and completely unplayable, disposed of the medkit and went to another server, I will let you know if its fixed again when my punishment for being an evil nasty server hopper ends. Worked for a time, textures never returned on my m4 components bt they no longer flicker going to try re logging to see if that fixes the texture on the M4.

Ammo boxes can spawn in construction sites, very rare but can remove all need to venture into hot zones.

I found four in a single search of vybor concentrate on the big hospital/school (top room) the piano building, and the brick building with a covered arch entrance check the space at the top of the stairs in that building, I found a b95 there in two of them. Funny thing about this patch, I am practically drowning in guns the few times i can get the game to stop lagging, but despite that I cannot find a mosin to save my life!

Its a break action gun, no break action gun ever made (to my knowledge) has any form of gas system. The closest you get to that is the recoil operated triggers on some skeet guns, but that's recoil, not gas. Why would you want to vent the gases from such a gun? What possible benefit could that provide? You don't need to use the gasses to cycle the action, the chamber pressures are not near dangerous levels, and even if they were, you would simply use a cartridge that produces lower chamber pressures. Its modeled after the classic European hunting rifles known as double rifles or combination guns http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savage_Model_24#Calibers.2Fgauges This particular gun is still being built today, and it does in fact have two barrels. http://www.blaser.de/index.php?id=56&L=1

When I want to play as bob the builder I fire up minecraft. I build some astonishing things in survival mode. I just don't see myself wanting to build in dayz, no matter what system they come up with it will not be as intuitive and fun as building in minecraft and if by chance it is it will result in structures that shouldn't exist, breaking immersion. A big problem for me is that I do not want to see the crappy monstrosities that most players will build, either because they don't care about making structures level/square or because the construction interface will be limited. And while my structures tend to be square, symmetrical, in line with the laws of physics and functional I seriously doubt many people want to see what i have to build. Having said that, Looking around Cheranus I do see a lot of material that could be used in base construction, stacks of concrete slabs found near construction sights, stacks of logs found in industrial areas and along logging roads, sandbags found near military installations, pallets full of bricks and even the cargo crates found around the land could be interesting if we could move them with vehicles. If freestanding building is implemented some incredible work could be done with whats there. I am much more in favor of fortification, sure fortified buildings will become endgame content for PVPers, and certain sites will quickly become the most popular, but that does kinda fit an apocalypse. Someone has the man power and resources to fortify a nice defensible structure? Lets kill them and steal their supplies! Underground instanced structures are fine by me, I do have questions and doubts about how they could be implemented so as to not become exploitable or deathtraps.

My bet is on dysnc, this is how I wager it went down. They had you covered the entire time they were talking to you, they didn't want to shoot you (maybe they were going to shoot you after robbing you maybe they just wanted to make sure you weren't a threat ) but you would not respond, they finally decided to end you. When they fired the server updated and poof you could see them.

I Picked up some items post patch that flicker, "Crime and punishment" and 3 other books, however i was able to play with only rubber banding and slight lag for most of last night. I also have an M4 with a flickering Pristine black butt stock and a flickering worn green butt stock in my bags. The lagfest was persistant on every server I tried but one, I tried others after I found the one that was playable.

It is surprisingly hard to hit a target at 500m, I have been shooting all my life, and I cannot do it reliably while standing up. If we took every single person from the dayz forums and handed them a 1/4MOA Remington 700 with a 32 power scope and asked them to hit a 6inch plate at 500m while standing AND gave them ten shots to do it less than one in a fifty could do it, I would wager that the majority could not do it prone with a bipod. The problems in dayz are that keeping the sights on target is easy and there is never any wind to gauge. This means that if the guns were as accurate as they truly are we would all be as good as Oscar Swahn. Now I am all for making the guns as accurate as they are, but when that happens keeping the sights on target needs to be much harder.

low pop server, friends PLURAL as in more than one, watch the player list, to many people join? ABORT TRADE. I have done it a few times, never had to kill anyone and never got killed while doing it. True, on the other hand it always works for me. But with the new log out timer I don't think I will be doing it nearly as much any more.

The CPU and the GPUs are rather dated, and were mid-range when new, been looking to replace them for a long time but I don't play any games they can't run well so I haven't been able to justify it.

Trades should be conducted on low pop servers I will lay out the six step process for you. 1) bring friends with mosins 2) have a friend hold most of your gear 3) watch the player list, any influx of players should be met with suspicion 4) make it clear that both parties will meet without weapons in hand 5) conduct trade 6) return to treeline and wait for trading partner to log out If at any point your trading partner initiates a hostile act, the friends with mosins execute.

Same issue, load in, wait for the game to stabilize (takes a while on my crappy connection) play for 5-10 minutes starts to develop massive lag eventually unplayable. For science Windows 7 64bit FX-4170 4.2GHZ MSI 990FXA-GD80V2 6850x2 Corsair vengeance 16gb DDR3 (8gbx2) OCZ agility 120g SSD

Would need far more spawn points before that can be done, otherwise every spawn point will just become camp city.

The same is true of a 10/22, the most complicated item to change out is the scope, changeing the barrel only involves two Allen screws. It would be nice becasue having more parts for a gun eats up the spawn chances for guns and ammunition.

^apparently missed all the westerns featuring cowboys/gunmen and Indians killing other cowboys/gunmen and Indians over woman Here http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0800308/ Ok it was about money mostly, but in the end a guy gets dropped over a woman. But for the ultimate NOT gay cowboy from cinema I give you Captain Augustus McCrae. On topic, I dislike the number of hat spawns, ok so some of them look cool, but lets face it they don't DO anything and something that was actually useful could have spawned there, i will change my tune when and if they help with glare. Oh and +1 for beer hats, so long s they have two slots that can take beer or soda or two water bottles

It would be cool if we could change the barrels and stocks on the 10/22. Maybe even find a threaded barrel that would accept the M4 suppressors. It would make quite a bit of sense to go this route as the 10/22 is just as modifiable as a M4 more so if you are like me. You know you want it :D

Yes it can fire without a clip, but that is single load and shoot only, like a semi automatic magazine fed gun with no magazine. It is a bit of an odity in this regard, most weapons that load from clips don't retain the clip like the Garand does. Oswald's gun used a similar magazine design, that caused some of the inconsistency in police reports that have since been used as "proof" of a conspiracy by the uninformed. The "hey I am out of ammo sound" can be turned against a learned foe. Fire the Garand once, throw an empty clip at a rock (makes the same noise) other guy charges and catches 7 rounds in the chest, besides the M1 is faster to re load than most weapons with a magazine. Its biggest flaw was its weight and size, its a big heavy gun.

The B95 is NOT a survival gun. It is a remake of a classic European/Africa hunting gun. Here educate yourself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combination_gun

Bean can armor is for noobs! Come at me bro!

the Garand is more accurate and 30-06 is vastly superior to 7.62x39 it shoots a heavier projectile, faster and flatter.

Less realistic in a dump of an ex soviet state to find a rifle that was exported to Iran 165,000+, to Pakistan 150,000+, to turkey 300,000+ than to find a modern German rifle that costs over $2,000? If the Blaser B95 is actually in then anything goes. I am not advocating for the Garand in dayz, I do love it, but it would be to much. I think the blaser was a bad idea tho, cool gun but I just cannot buy that we would find a gun that expensive in a dump like Chernarus

This isn't about "The best assault rifle" or "the best battle rifle" this is about the best zombie apocalypse rifle in that regard in dayz, given how the mosin stacks up against the M4 in PVP, the M1D Garand would dominate. Do you agree or disagree?

The Garand was the standard issue rifle for the US until fully replaced by the m14 in 1963-1965, the M14 was then replaced by the M16 in ~1969, so in a span of 6 years the Garand was out, and the M16 was in, the M16 for those of you having trouble keeping up is the father of the M4 Why would I not compare them?

And in a zombie apocalypse I live in the US, where the 30-06 that the Garand fires is the most common center fire rifle round in circulation. In certain parts of the US it is illegal to use a 556/223 for large game (think deer and other animals over 100 pounds/45 kilos) due to concerns about its ability to humanely kill the game, it is considered a varmint round suitable for rodents and coyotes. By contrast the 30-06 and its little brother the 270 have been used to take every game animal on the Boone and Crockett list. As for a Garand at 1000m, sure from a bench after a competent gunsmith re-barreled and accurized it. I wouldn't expect one of the mill surplus ones from CMP to do much past 700m, after all many of those guns have fought two wars BEFORE they were loaned out to a foreign government and then returned to the US. I would still prefer one over an M4 for a variety of reasons.

Please do.
