  1. I feel like it's a tad difficult to get some good fortifications up. Once your squaddy dies, they're left out or have to run 30 minutes nonstop to get back into the action. Maybe players should go into unconsciousness more often and have a lesser chance of outright dying.

    What is "Fully Geared" to you?

    I got this far using a box of hacked ammo I picked up, then lost it to hive issues. Not that mad.
  5. 1. Add stashes/safes to the game when there's more high-end stuff 2. The safes will be hidden underground and you'll use a shovel to dig for it 3. Player-owned safes cannot be broken into or guessed without the safe combination 4. Players cannot steal safe combinations from bodies 5. The only way to get the safe location/combo from another player is if they use an interface to "give safe location/combo" 6. Safe combos are invalidated if the guy that owns it dies before you get to the safe ??? People will shoot each other less because there's an incentive to steal more valuable things!
  6. If I made 5000 euros a month on Youtube like some sources report, I'd sure as hell stage some extreme clips.
  7. My stats skyrocket every day from just playing the game. Can you believe that?
  8. No, the proper way is to buy proper headphones, a seperate mic, and a sound card if you want that fake surround sound jazz. Spend the money you saved on better sound quality. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829132020 I've switched to 8 channels and enabled virtual surround. It's crap and totally unnecessary.

    You want anti-KoS? Add safes.

    Bodies despawning in 10 minutes makes sense too, but you know.

    mp buttstock badly damaged or standard worn?

    Always take magpul parts. Part condition doesn't matter yet, iirc.

    The Gun of your Choice

    You need to differentiate the stock M4 and the MP M4. One's borderline unusable and the other is the best gun in the game.

    So, my friend was dying of dehydration

    A single soda won't cure severe dehydration for more than a minute or two.

    Picked an ammo box off a dead guy

    It was like playing CoD's Gun Game. Most of my stuff is what other players owned, which is why I had some useless stuff I hadn't dropped yet. My hot bar wasn't that important, so I left it cluttered while I was shooting people.

    Picked an ammo box off a dead guy

    It's not bugged. There were loads of 300k stacks in the ammo box. Everything was ruined due to battle damage, but I could take the stacks out, split it, and use the ammo.
  17. You know how respawning zombies are completely fine game-wise? It's because the zombies that spawn with the map load before the map is fully loaded. That's right, we've had these problems all these months because someone couldn't be assed to make zombies load later.

    How to get out of a wall

    Pre-desync patch, you could keep running, press esc, and log out. You would then desync a few meters depending on how long you kept running into the wall.

    It has happened...

    Dude, there were so many zeds that they aggro'd on people I didn't see yet.

    What if DayZ ran on the Snowdrop Engine

    Looks like any console game's engine.
  21. hotcakes

    you know you played to much DayZ when......

    I saw a guy in a blue hoodie stumbling around today and thought it was like zed behavior. His face looked odd from a distance, but it was just a big beard.
  22. Different barrels and match-grade ammunition? *shrug* There's not really a right way to do guns in a video game.
  23. Hell, someone even told me the MP M4 has the least dispersion in the game. Even so, it doesn't change how 5.56x45mm is weaker than the other cartridges.
  24. "For whatever reason, Rocket wanted the M4 to be a CQC weapon. Otherwise, we would have the M16." Its niche is tight quarters stock and gets some serious range with Magpul parts, but they don't affect the damage. It's in a fine spot.

    Would You Want To See a Player Report Button?

    Terrible idea. If it's in the game for any reason whatsoever and isn't hacking, it should be permitted. This is how competition works, unfortunately. You either have to wait for the devs to do shit about it and fix it or jump ship to a game that listens to pointless qqing. Use a bandage or any other action on them and it'll show their names.
