"Why don't you just give us cars" LOL

It could make for a good anti-camping mechanic. I mean, who'd want to lie down next to a pile of crap?

Well, in the worst case that would mean you'd have to make do with a zombie. And boy, that calls for GOOD protection. On the other hand, they want to add animals..... We better stop this right here Oo

Well, since sleeping is kind of a lengthy activity proper implementation would be rather hard :P Also, you don't necessarily need to fuck to stay alive.

Way of least resistance mate :P

In that case I will give up sniping, and hone my skills in spraying and praying.

Well, it might not be pretty, but cannibalism is bound to happen in times like this.

Wait, poop is harmfull to minors? But shooting other human beeings in a virtual environment isn't? And all the interactions with strangers? What about them? Seriously, I'm not taking this thing about shitting too serious but the tabooing on poop and feces that some of you seem to practise is kind of strange. Edit: And if someone wants to celebrate their poop fetish... let them. It's still better than people living out their power/torture/rape fantasies in game right now. You seem to be following some weird double standard.

YES! YES! YES! - We need it! Pooping suffers of an extreme lack of underrepresentation in contemporary media, although it is a central aspect to our everyday life. End the discrimination! Dayz is a revolutionary game, and should therefore pursue revolutionary goals! Freedom for the poop! Vive l'excréments!

Sniping is pretty hard to get into. Especially since bullet effects don't seem to work in this version. Yesterday i completely overestimated my distance to a target and missed myriads and myriads of shots.

After all is said and done, handcannons are still bloody awesome! There is no denying it.

I hope they won't add in more "hardcore" features. My main reasoin to play HC is that 3rd person feels very awkward to me and I generally prefer to play in 1st person. I think most people play it for this reason actually. On the other hand... while I'd hate to see bullets doing double damage on hardcore servers, a more challenging survival experience (harsher environment, sickness, etc) may be interesting.

I agree on that. I prefer guns without plastic :D

As weird as it sounds, but Dayz could probably use a "little bit CoD". The large open world sure gives lots of opportunities for tactical combat, but especially in close quarters the game really lacks dynamic. I also think of Red Orchestra when it comes to how combat should be. It does not have to be as good since this game is not purely based around combat, but I'd welcome any step in that direction.

Well it sounded like you were defending the way even civilian loot is concentrated on airfield and mil bases, although it makes little sense. Hence this statement was directed at you.

The problem is, that when your only good chance of finding magazines for even the most basic weapons is going to military bases, what's the point in those weapons anyway? Why use a sporter or fnx when the only place you will find magazines will also have much better weapons in stock? Also it would make more sense for "civilian" weaponry and the respective magazines to be found in civilian areas.

There is a two story, civilian house that usually spawns tactical or UN-helmets. I can definitely confirm that.

There should at least be a good chance for a weapon to spawn with a magazine. It doesen't even need to have bullets in it. Especially handgun magazines and those for "low tier" rifles like the sporter need to be more common as they are stupidly rare at the moment, rendering those guns almost useless.

Balancing. You have to make a trade-off between realism and gameplay. A m4 has a way higher range than a crossbow. It's easier to hit things due to the higher bullet speed and lower bullet drop, and your firerate is also WAY higher. So, if you want the crossbow to be at least of some use you have to give it some advantage. edit: I also don't think it is that unrealistic for a crossbow to be more damaging than a 5.56mm bullet.

I don't see any proof of hacking here...

I think "bandit hunting" is just an excuse we use when we go to the coast looking for trouble. Once you are geared up It's almost inevitable ( at least for me :D ). I get driven to the coast by a mixture of homicidal/suicidal tendencies which fuel themselves of the enevitable boredom after there is nothing else left to do.

Yarp pretty much my experience. The problem is, the only places you have good chances to find magazines for many basic weapons (fnx, sporter...) are military areas. At this point however you will already be in possesion of better armament which makes the weapons those magazines are needed for redundant.

Finding magazines is a bitch. The 1911 and FNX mags are probably the rarest. At least in my experience that is. It's kind of ironic, that the m4 mags seem to be the most common ones.

Soooo, a semi-automatic hand cannon with a thermal scope? What about a gauss rifle? <_< I really do hope this is a joke. I could live with the gun If it and it's ammo were very very very very very rare. But a thermal scope? That's too much!

Can't tell if troll, or really confused...
