Sniping is an interesting aspect of the game and being very average at it, I definitely respect a good sniper. In saying that, because of the ability to instantly end another players life from the safety of a bush over 800 kms away I don't want or think it should be easy. It should take time and practice to properly acquire the skill set need to be good at it. I like to be proficient in all aspects of the game and after spending a huge amount of hrs with my trusty m4 I decided recently to start practicing my long range skills. I found that hitting people from a far was no easy task. Even once I got my range sorted I had to wait for them to stop bloody moving and if I missed the shot, in most cases I had lost the kill. But then I noticed something, I started getting players returning to loot bodies of the dead after just being shot at. Time and time again, players would see the pile of bodies outside the door, run up to loot them, I would miss the shot, they would run off... but only for a minute or two. Sure enough they would sneak back up, usually on their bellies this time to try and get the treasures and now the are a sitting duck. To hit a moving target is increasingly more difficult especially with the current and only LRS. So to the OP, I am not sure what you are suggesting here. Are snipers useless? Certainly not in the right hands but there is very few of them. Should they be given some sort of buff, HELL NO! I can't wait for the introduction of wind etc to make it even harder.

I was a medical office in the army, so have acute knowledge of all those things also my father owned his own helicopter business and taught me flying at a young age, so I will be quite proficient at flying when I find a heli. I like to think of it as, survival of the fittest. Everybody else who had no skills is dead. Because of my unique skill set I am still alive as are about 40 other people with similar skills.

My vote is no because a) It is a stupid fucking retarded idea and b) it is a stupid fucking retarded idea. On a side note, if it has drug use/trading/selling in it, it will be banned in Australia and possibly Germany.

No. Don't press P

I like the idea, if implemented correctly. It would be nice to have neutral as well so you could coast down a hill silently and then drop into gear if you need a quick take off.

Press shift+tab which opens steam overly. Down the bottom is "web browser", click on that and type into google izurvive.com. When izurvive comes up click on the search icon in the top bar and a list of cities will come up with Russian and English version. Now all you need to do is press shift+tab to close and open the map as needed Now give me your beans.

Not sure dude, you could be right. Unfortunately I wasn't able to test this as there was only 1 exp server to choose from lol

Yes that is correct, completely new hive. Session lost should happen every hour, that is the server restarting. Ok so apart from rubber banding that everyone is experiencing it is a very good patch. I watched a zombie chase a pig, it looked so perverted I had to have a bath afterwards, I don't know what happened to the poor little fella. Fishing hooks are hard to see, keep your eyes open.

The game "shines" as it is. If you are getting sniped a lot you are doing something wrong. I have 470hrs+ game play on SA and have been sniped once, which I totally deserved. I was applying a morphine in the ATC at the airfield. You claim player interaction (ie talking etc) is the best element of the game but that is just your opinion. I believe the best part of the game is shooting people in the face.

Haha, yeah you are but I didn't really word it well. Basically what I mean is when you record it, all the audio is one stream. So it makes very hard to edit yourself or your mates out of the footage. With dxtory you can have one stream for the game, one for your mic, and one for everybody else on TS. Makes it great for editing time. MSI has two which is not the best but better than shadowplay only having one... if that makes more sesnse

I have tried a few, shadow play is great but it has a downside and that is the audio. It only can record one audio stream which can be a deal breaker depending on what you are recording and weather you use TS or not. I use MSI afterburner and I do take a significant hit in frames but I can record 2 separate audio streams - I have this set to about 60% quality and still looks great. Dxtory is good, small FPS hit and with other software you can have 4+ audio streams downside is I didn't find the quality as good as msi and the file sizes were HUGE. Fraps just no Bandicam - I couldn't get really good quality out of it and a significant FPS hit

When you go into inventory your hunger and thirst are represented as per below Hunger/thirst Bright green box - Max dull green box - High No box displayed - Med Brownie/green box - Low Red Box - Extremely Low and now your health will start depleting

Good to see you guys are reading the thread **shakes head** I think when the spawning system is overhauled a lot of these issues will be resolved.

Detering is fine punishing is not and this punishing a certain play style.

No cause that is only thinking of one side of the equation, it isn't realistic and will increase KoS. I could take out how a squad of guys and while I am dealing with the last remaining guy a fresh spawn comes a long and steals all my loot rendering the bodies un-lootable, now I am forced to kill said freshie cause he has my hard earned gear.

Just in case OP missed it

Well I appreciate the work you guys do, it must be no easy task considering everything is hackable. It's like trying to stay on step ahead of the guys who are trying to stay one step ahead lol Nothing brings me more pleasure seeing the left hand of my screen pop up with big red letters... "Global Ban blah blah" I just say to my team there goes another post on the forums tomorrow haahahah

While I absolutely 100% agree with your frustration, 2 hrs is BS! I want to play with my friends not have them die and the whole team has to server hop. That kills immersion fast and only would create frustration. 10 minutes I could deal with and actually I like that idea, it would take the pressure off big time. Also I don't think you should be able to loot your body but then people would just have their mates loot the gear and then give it to them, which in turn would give solo players a huge disadvantage. So I don't think that is fair. Moving spawns all over the map IMO is an absolute must.

I just wrote out a massive post and lost it all, sorry can't be assed doing it again lol Maybe later lol

Ok lets compare a game that isn't out from alpha to game that has not only been fully released for years but also mod tools to allow the community to develop additional goodies. Think about this, are there bino's in arma? Do they work better than DayZ? Do you think the bino's in DayZ will always work the way they do now? Of course not but with your logic cause they work in arma they must work in DayZ it's the same engine. It's called the development process and clearly with you have no understanding of it. Balancing will occur at the end of the process Well done champ, cry some more :thumbsup:

It should be about skill and bullet dispersion can burn in hell. /story In saying that "balancing" and bullet mechanics is for later on down the path. Don't get me wrong, discuss it all you like but it will be refined I promise you. You can't compare this to arma, although it seems it a bit copy and paste this is a build from the ground up.

I know exactly what you are talking about and in 3pp it is even worse than that. You can look through entire buildings lol

Nope, no it's not.

Mate, his voice is definitely unique but I wouldn't call it annoying. I have a similar issue with one of the guys I play with, not so much his voice but his "live" mic and breathing. I have worked out how to edit him in sony vegas and now just replace it with in game sound (copy + paste) as long as it dosen't take away too much from the vid. If you use sony vegas you can also play around with the audio stream and that might help a little. Youtube search for adjusting voice blah blah If you listen around the 1 minute mark here you should hear what I mean... and then on this vid which had him breathing loudly and constantly throughout the whole thing. I edited him out and hopefully no one is the wiser Hope that helps
