No this is just not realistic, like in stalker where your weapon breaks after firing a few dozen shots... where as in reality most military firearms are tested to not jam or malfunction after firing thousands of rounds. Weapon degradation is always annoying and it adds nothing useful or enjoyable to a game. Sorry to shoot you down but weapon degradation has been a pet hate of mine since system shock 2.

A Realistic Means of Facilitating Group Play
deepfried replied to dogsbd's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
No, its pointless trying to make DayZ into something its not. it is inherently a "hardcore" survival simulator... any concessions to casual gaming will destroy 90% of its allure. Nice idea but just not for DayZ. -
Hunting should be more challenging
deepfried replied to x7steelers7x's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Less cows and sheep, plus add deer (which are very rare and behave like real deer and run if you get remotely close or start shooting). Thus the main form of hunting will be shooting rabbits and deer, which if done well could almost be a game by itself. -
Wow my gear is sick!...but what now ?
deepfried replied to Delta Smoke 01's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
yeah I just hit this wall myself, aside from banditry there isn't much to do once you're fully kitted out. Plus once you have full equipment there is a strong disincentive to go to common pvp areas. Used to be that hunger would force me back into towns, but now I have matches, hatchet, and hunting knife I'm pretty much self sufficient. -
So far as as I can work out the latest mission file removed the channels from beta players, but non-beta players can still use them. Will only be an issue until 1.7.1 comes out as then we will all be beta players.

Wait... throwing cans to distract zombies. Why didn't I think of that >.> -
20 words or less: Spawning without a weapon
deepfried replied to rocket's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I'm torn: Pros: adds a new element of survival will stop noobs shooting the place up as soon as they spawn Cons: nothing to stop bandits spawn camping just to troll (people will do this) will put off a lot of noobs who don't have much patience As an alternative maybe give the makarov but with just 1 clip? -
it must be the new mission file, i've been using the same beta build since I started playing on friday. Odd thing is, these are beta only servers i'm playing on.... Edit: No scratch that, they are beta servers but not all require beta, I guess that's the answer then, the new mission file must remove side channel for beta players only. Though I guess we'll all be beta players on the next mod version.

I have a problem with side/global channel, as of yesterday I cannot access these channels even when they are enabled on the server and I see others using them. I have mod version 1.7.0 and beta build 93616 I realise this is being phased out but in the mean time I would like to be able to use side channel when others are doing so... people assume that all can use it so when I don't respond in side channel people assume I'm hostile and start shooting at me!! Also as mentioned earlier in the thread I think having a radio equipment item that allows the use of global chat would be a very good idea.

sounds like negative acceleration, unfortunately the mouse controls in ArmA are shit (in my experience) however I have found you can mitigate the acceleration issues to some degree by enabling a certain amount of mouse smoothing. Might work for you, have no idea.
