But if you make high level loot and pvp the end game (as it is) then how could snipers be anything other than common?

They became a common spawn in the initial 1.7.1 build, I found three before the hotfix.

Le sigh. Maybe thats all it is at the moment, but it has loftier goals I think.

So I was reading on wiki that Ghillie suits are very hot to wear, specifically: "Although highly effective, ghillie suits are impractical for many situations where camouflage is useful. They tend to be very heavy and hot. Even in moderate climates, the temperature inside of the ghillie suit can reach over 50 °C (120 °F)" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghillie_suit I was thinking maybe it would be cool if this was implemented in the game. We already have temperature as a status so you just need to modify its behaviour whilst someone is wearing a Ghillie suit. Effects would be: Higher than normal temperature. Immune (or near as) to cold effects. Over heating and feinting if you run too much Much increased water consumption OK now that is a nerf for the ghillie suit in most respects but tbh I dont care about nerf or buff, just the fun of the added realism.

you may have to re-host that, or just link to where its posted.

Good question. First two weeks of playing I would of said Winchester every time, though now I find myself making much more use of the lee Enfield. I guess it depending on what sort of range you expect to do your shooting.

I dont think its a great idea, simply because it would create an even larger gulf between new-spawn noobs and tooled up bandits. Thats not something that needs exacerbating IMO.

Yup, my suggestion isn't just nerf for the Ghillie suit though. As the Ghillie suit keeps you warm snipers camping at night wouldn't have to carry heatpacks any more, so in that situation its a buff. The whole temperature status mechanic does need work though IMO.

I for one agree that Ghillie suits should have their realistic disadvantages as well as benefits. I even made a suggestion to that effect here somewhere.... http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=16223&highlight=Ghillie+Suit+and+temperature

Um... just dont allow wires to be placed in or near buildings problem solved.

Make night not so dark? *ducks under volleys of rotten fruit*

Not that really' date=' hit few main cities and you will find ;) [/quote'] Oh I have two boxes! :D its just they are much less common than hunting knives and hatchets.

A toolbox was one of the first items my current character found. So it seems there is now a good reason to hit industrial loot spots early on.

meat is acquired from animals BTW, you need a hunting knife to gut them, then you need firewood (can be harvested with a hatchet or found) and matches to make a camp fire and cook the meat. Matches are somewhat hard to find...

This would prevent teleporting but not server hopping for loot. If you add a n-second freeze in connect' date=' you get the best of both worlds. [/quote'] I agree 1 hr ban for leaving is too long and arbitrary, I say if you leave server A you can rejoin server A without penalty... unless you connected to another server (Server B) in which case you have a 10min ban on server A. That would stop the more obnoxious ghosting and wouldn't unduly inconvenience people either.

I found an ATV there once... that was worth getting. Not sure if it was spawned or just parked mind.

I don't shoot on sight and I've rarely been killed by a bandit. the last bandit that killed me took a shotgun blast to the face in the process. I guess its a question of how stealthy you are generally speaking, I nearly always spot other ppl before they spot me. in fact the only time i've been killed by a bandit recently if memory serves was a backstab job, should of seen it coming rly.. got me to help carry some med supplies out of elektro hospital then shot me in the back once we were out of the town.

Yesterday I saw barbedwire placed length ways across the narrow corridor in the comms tower on green mountain. If i didn't have a toolkit there was no way I was getting past that.

Actually the opposite of 'Carebear' is 'Cunt'. Yep' date=' Cunts vs Carebears. [/quote'] I lolz so hard at that :D Its funny because its true.

I like it! actually that sounds kinda fun. Maybe we could make a metagame out of it... :P

I've never had a can work... they love smoke though ^.^
