The first two people to KOS me for no reason wore cowboy hats since then I KOS ANYONE (friend or foe) who wears a cowboy hat.I wear the following for cosmetic reasons: 1. Bomber glasses 2. Motorbike helmet ( I actually feel it provides better protection and concealment then ballistic) 3. Riders jacket if I can find one

They should do that not by making millitary loot spawn everywhere but making more valuable civillian only loot. A great example would be the riders jacket which is highly sought after and only spawns in civilian areas. Even this recent setup with MP5-K myself sent people out to Gorka just to try and find one. If all loot spawned everywhere then people will just camp cherno. I like a dynamic system where you say I want item A so head to destintiok x but then for item b I must head to destination Y. There are plenty of ways they can make civilian loot better no sense in just gimping millitary bases. Like introduce more commonly used guns nd attaychments that are easily purchased in civilian stores. Even the mousin, sks, crossbow, blaze & all the handguns really should spawn in any civilian house since they are not restricted to millitary use only if at all in real life. All of their attatchments should also be found in cities. Then add other cool items to civilian spawns which would cause all players to want them for example all those cool attatchments on the 22lr should spawn in civilian areas since u could leaglly purchase them in real life. To further improve this they should make damage more realistic. No on should tank 5 shots from a 22 and still be standing. 1-2 shots from ANY rifle in this game will kill you in a matters of seconds or leave you permanently maimed and in need of drastic surgery. Then millitary weapons advantages are smaller and lie mainly in rate of fire. Which in dayz stealth is more important. So someone gets a jump on you with a 22 and fires a round into your lungs ur down....no spraying that AKM for help. This would allow players to use a weapon they feel handles best for them as opposed to millitary loot. Couple that with millitary only weapons require ammo only found in dangerous millitary areas and a 22 does not seem so bad when playing for self preservation. Further they should allow players to mod weapons. My dad had a friend who had modded an sks to be fully auto. It isn't that expensive or difficult to do for the sks. Say u find an item similiar to weapon cleaning kit and no sks fully auto. You could then suprised people with 10 rounds in rapid succession then they expect a slower rate of fire. I feel what I have outlined above would be way more fun and involved then our current nonsensical and unbalanced loot system and more realistic then all items spawning everywhere irregardless of location (sure maybe small chances for items to spawn everywhere but make it rare)

I would like all of those changes. I also think some of the up close issues may be less sway and more navmesh related like the melee is. Swear I am seeing bullets go through zombies and not registering because on the navmesh they are somewhere else.

Not running up close but moving quickly to get into position for a shot from range is important. Also even the sway caused by walking in dayz currently which u do plenty o while deer hunting causes unusual sway. I am more advocating a Stamina system like in Stalker where say if ur stamina is high u have better weapon control. So if I run accross a field and stop to shoot sure it is hard but if I run 5 feet the stamina is still there I should not be out of breath. Currently dayz is from one extreme to the other. You run 1 step u have horrible sway. you rest a little faster but u shouldn't have to rest at all to steady yourself after moving a short distance.

I agree with u from distance but the way they have implemented the sway is that even at short range ur as inaccurate as hell. Even worse if u try to use a bow. Weapon sway at distances under 50 meters should be a minor issue not a major one.

Not always ture...adrenaline usually helps with such things as well and that is not something your normally put out under calm situations but also is something that is hard to predict...Someone running and then stopping to shoot with no adrenaline will shoot worse then a clam person standing Whereas someone running with adrenaline and stopping to shoot will be more steady. I must add as someone who grew up hunting animals such as deer and pheasents you often times do run through thick brush and then stop and take a shot & trust me hitting a deer or pheasent is a lot harder than a sluggish man In my personal exp with rifles, bows & shotguns the weapon sway in dayz is way over exaggerated. There is a thin line between realistic gameplay and MISREABLE gameplay and the current expierental build has crossed that line with the changes to movement and the weapon sway.

Toyed around with both Ashwood bow and cross bow some.. Looking closly at the composite arrows they do appear to be broadheads. However the damage from both weapons is concerning. It takes so long to load an arrow that in the time u can ready a second arrow someone can just turn around and shoot u. The issue with quivers not spawning seems to be resolved cause now u can just place up to five arrows or bolts on either crossbow or ashwood bow. Arrows and bolts also fit in an ammo box. It would be nice to have a craftable quiver which you could wear though. Kitting up an all bow and arrow character is fairly easy. I am going for an all green/camo millitary look with crossbow on my back and ashwood bow in backpack. The ashwoodbow fits in a hunting pack. When you are not kitting up a pistol or rifle you can find most the gear pretty quick and have a lot of bag space. Aside from the shirt/pants/backpack/vest/helmet you only really need the bows & arrows. On expietmental the new weapon sway mechnaic is way to punishing to bows though. I could only hit two targets from an ambush position after sneaking up from behind. I was also only like 15 meters away. I had the target centered in my sites and the arrow would just hit the ground off to the side. The scoped position of the ashwood bow is horrible...for some reason they have you putting the bow horizontal and all you can see is you hand. Scoped position should be vertical and arrow should be visible to aid with aim.

Hi, So I have ran the path of the warrior about 5-6 times this weekend on HC in search of a pristine combat knife among other things....no such luck however. The combat knife alludes me....I have not even found a damaged one. I know you are probably thinking the combat knife sucks why does he want it? Does not matter...I have my reasons but thought rather than continue to risk life/limb & further wife aggro...I would ask anyone who has one on a Hardcore server I am willing to provide you the following items in exchange: 1x Mp5K with 2 x 30 round clips (all pristine except foregrip is worn) (sorry lost the spare MP5K to a server restart...) 1x TTSKO pants-Pristine 1x TTSKO shirt-Pristine 1x M91A bayonet (almost equivalent to the combat knife you are giving up!) 1x Pristine LRS 1x Pristine M91 Bayonet (mousin) 1x Pristine compensator As you can see the above set of gear is almost ideal for a sniper setup. A few items are missing but Mousins are easy to find compared to pristine attachments for them. bring me a Combat Knife and I will give you all of that stuff ! I also need one on regular but can only really offer AKM/MP5K mags in exchange unless you want a pristine fish hook! And a long horn on regular

went ahead and made a experimental character to do this on.... Hc had a cross bow and could not find rope. one nice pass over NWAF got some green gear and was looking good. Then server lags and i freeze while in a construction site....server unfreezes and i fly off cliff...was looking for rope but broke my own rule...don't go up stairs ...i deserved to die for that

no need for poison....having an arrow lodged in your body will restrict your movement plenty...

Dayz style robin hood cause the bambis are more likely than not the bandits ur killing to take the gear from ;)

Arguably it should knock them unconscious A Large deer may be able to run off and bleed out but they only make it a few hundred feet if u hit them right.... Whereas a man is much less powerful and does not have such a strong instinctive drive as a deer.

honestly should be less time to bleed...broad head is guaranteed to rip up vital organs...u would not be able to stop the internal bleeding It should be death anywhere on the chest

Right cause on a server with 20 or more people the game is lagging and killing people who are on a level higher than the first floor in buildings... The servers can barely handle 30-40 at 60-100 I guarantee u going up stairs will be 100% death due to server lag First they need to fix the issues causing the lag

Keep climbing that ladder ull be dead soon enough

Not a game meant to be friendly....also asking to get killed since ur wasting time grabbing that extra loot and then dropping it.

Just realized I said berezino...meant vybor...I must be on crack ;)

On my phone sometimes auto correct screws me..tried to edit somewhat but get the point.

My exp with NWAF is it is the safest millitary spawn to loot.Unless ur desperate for gear skip prisons (break ur legs glitch) and hangers as their gear sucks. Also skip the ATC unless ur desperate. I clear each section in segments it is easy to tell if someone is there. Tents is easy to rule out and if u dont loot like an idiot u can clear it in less than 2 mins Always check sniper hill better going down the runway. With a PSO or acog or lrs u can easily check for snipers without going over there. Run along the woods to the barracks and check both front and back directions for players then loot (30 seconds in barracks) Run along the woods to the end of airstrip over hill out of sight of air strip to last barracks (most dangerous) clear the woods first then check parameter and clear barrack.all takes less than 2 mins. If ur looting prisons and hanagers there is no way to stay safe lone wolf as they either glitch and kill u or leave u trapped and cant be cleared in time before someone else arrives. They also have very little loot for the risk. Ull find more than enough in tents & barracks. After ur done with NWAF run to Vybor factory drink (never drink at NWAF) then run to vybor base and approach it from the opposite side of vybor where the barn and hill are and open the gate that is nearest to starry (not one with guard shack) walk outside parameter to where the 2 barracks are loot in less than 1 min. If u still need something u can do the last barrack by the prison but is most deadly. Approach through the bushes between barrack and prison and get in an out. Exit behind bac of prison through gate u entered. I can do all of the above in less than 1/2 hour with only 5 mins tops of myself being exposed to danager. Most the time I can rule out campers and tell that I have enough space to loot before anyone could approach from outside. Piece of cake really. General loot rules: Know wht u want and have space for it before hand Only take wht u came for Dont eat and drink and plan to be healthy before u begin Gun out when in danger area Gun away when travelling in woods for speed Dont ever check under the bunks on ur own by proning..just leave it behind if u cant get it.

Normally it is easier to check who the hoppers are: They normally spawn and then run for shelter to log off (som stupid ones just log off in the millitary building) If I hunt them I wait for them to get ready to log...either trail em to their pine tree or watch to see if they sit down somewhere in the place they are looting. Then just kill em...they dont even know or defend themselves. They hop to the next server and they are on the coast ;) I sometimes wonder if people posting about character resets are people I have killed

Ur still putting urself at greater risk server hopping...someone could be there. Unless ur not server hopping then beans cause depending on what I want it is worth checking anyways but if I feel someone is in the area I may skip rather than take the risk.

Suicidal if u climb that thing...

I always check server list. Are there squads ? That makes a big difference in who will be where. Also I check the list now and then to see who is still on. This tells me where people may be to som degree. For example if NWAF was clear it wont stay that way for longer than 1/2 hour. So anyone travelling there could arrive soon but if people page less likely they are coming.

I prefer to screw with them these ways: 1. Go to barracks find rare items do not take them open all doora...most hoppers will leave if doors are open before checking. 2. Or go to barracks take all rare items and then close all doors ;) 3. Go to barracks damage rare items and leave ;) 4. Hunt and kill them is always good too
