Hello there personally Id prefer man made items to be rare/already scavenged and to have to survive using improvised kit and weapons. Finding a pistol should be an "epic" find not to mention bullets. That's just me though. Rdgs LoK

Hello there You dont like the way I dress? Rgds LoK

Hello there I dont want to be seen as ganging up on anyone so i'll be brief. DAYZ isnt Bohemia's first game that they've developed. They do have a proven track record (with associated hurdles on the way) so I do think that they are in a prime position to decide how, what and when in the development process. Does it mean they are flawless? No, but they certainly do know what they are doing. Rgds LoK

This. Please use it before we anger the dev gods. Rgds LoK

Hello there The map boarders *are* an issue but if it was such an easy fix do you not think it would have already been done? As to what will be implemented, well Im not aware of anything but I would imagine: impassable hills/blocked up tunnels Killer fog Or (my fave but I find it unlikely) the whole map converts to an island with infinite sea. Rgds LoK

Cleaned. Stay on topic, please. L

Hello there Suggestion noted. As were great replies. Closing. Rgds LoK

Hello there Im very close to closing this thread. Too many insults and too much nonsense. Nobody is denying aspects are buggy. If they do then they are deluded. Alpha. Doent matter how long it's been be it 1.5 years or 10. It's Alpha 'till we say otherwise. regardless, this thread's about food. Get back on track. Rgds LoK

Hello there Dont insult other members. You *know* this. Rgds LoK

Because its against all forum etiquette. L

A year old bump? Dont bring posts back from the dead, please. Rgds LoK

Hello there This is a bit like arguing black is white. A game is in Alpha, Beta etc until the devs state otherwise. We need to stop trying to utterly define what is meant by Alpha, Beta etc. as a way to hold devs to ransom. (not implying OP is doing so) Equate it to a painting. There are many stages in creating a painting where folk would consider it good enough to be "done" but its up to the artist to decide when it's finally complete. Rgds LoK

Hello there When I say simplistic, I don't mean that as a bad thing. I *have* stopped following H1Z1 development as it was progressing down avenues I personally wasn't fond of, so any changes in its direction I wont be aware of. Now as to the simplistic, I equate that as to a comparison analogous to comparing Arma to Battlefield. They're both fine games and on the surface are similar, but one cannot say they are equal. The BF series, to me is a "Simplified" "faster" version of the Arma series. Does that make the *bad* or unpopular? No. H1Z1 isnt for me and if I wanted to point out it's flaws as I see them I could rather easily. But calling it "simplistic", to me, IMHO is fine and correct in the terms Im framing it. Perhaps I should have quantified it a little more in my original post though. I *am* in the market for a simplistic "easy to get into" DAYZ clone myself, just H1Z1 isnt it, my focus is now on Miscreated which my or may not turn out well. Rgds LoK

Hello there Im all for nerfing running speeds, in fact my vision of DAYZ is quite different to that of the devs. But im comfortable with that. The devs and the parent company are a capable lot and I have faith in them bringing their vision to life. Key point ="their vision" Now, whether it suits me or you is a very different thing. Im positive certain aspects will "bug" me but I know the cohesive whole will appeal. Also, mods in the far future may well help. I understand everyone want their thing and can sympathise with that. But sometimes we need to take off our rose tinted glasses. Rgds LoK

Hello there Many folk want an "optimised" mod. DAYZ SA wont be that. Its a survival game and has many facets. This is why many people prefer games like H1Z1 as they are fast and simplistic (in comparison) and many folk do want that. Thats fine. If you want a deeper survival experience, well, thats what DAYZ will become. Rgds LoK

Hello there Yes, a lot is lost in text, the smiley should have been suffiicient though, Accolyte is a cuddly thing in general. As to Dayz being the bestest game ever, well, Ill reserve judgement on that. Suffice to say it has been a milestone in game development whether one likes it or not. As to some folk saying dev progress is slow/stagnant, well they really doesnt understand what's involved. The dev is hoofing along at rather a brisk pace. Perhaps not fast enough for us greedy end users but in dev terms it's going at quite a pace. Patience is key Rgds Lok

Hello there Probably a custom map with the TOH rig added. Not official AFAIK Rgds LoK

title corrected. I just couldnt leave it. L

Also, don't forget the Aug was up for selection for the forces but we went with the sa80

Hello there It's an easy trap to fall into, ive done the same thing myself. However we all dont want to get on one side or the other. Common sense is whats needed. Rgds LoK

Hello there Im well aware of it's origins, when i said as a UK gun, I meant in terms of it being implemented in game as a weapon used by UK forces :) As was kindly pointed out earlier "we" referred to it as the SLR. For many of us Brits (of a certain age)the FN FAL/SLR is the archetypal UK battlerifle no matter it's origins. (Kind of equal to the "AK" being part of the "bad guys" kit). Back to the SA80 (im just going to refer to it as that no matter variants/designations), I would like to see it in several forms from the extended GPMG (LMG?) as posted above and in any carbine form (if any exist). The Arma 2 Baf add on had some nice variants. As to whether it belongs in game or not? Well, I think we are far past the realms of what many feel is "realism" so why not? Cherno+ is a fantasy environ (yes, yes I know what it's based on) and why not pretend that U.N.I.T was dispatched and the SLRs are from them and the SA80's are from UK peacekeeping forces? We do get around. Sierra Leone Bosnia Kosovo Falklands And those are just the major scraps.

Hello there Whilst I'd like to see the FAL in game (as a UK based rifle) I just dont think its in any use whatsoever (not even cadets) so on that basis the A1(?)/A2 do make more sense. For me though, the FN is the archityple British weapon of my youth along with the Sterling SMG. All my ex forces chums rate the FN way above the SA80 and derivatives. It really was a proper battle rifle. Regardless, we are a little off topic we need to concentrate more on the pros and cons of the L85/SA80 Rgds LoK

Hello there I *need* to have 60's and 70's kit. NEED. Rgds LoK PS. Ill also like the 85a1/a2 as long as it comes with plenty of attachments and the UK sighting system.

Hello there if it's good enough for Max then its good enough for me. Rgds LoK
