I have a mosin with compensator, bipod PU scope and LRS but I am actually really tempted to use the blaze 95. The two rapid shots in succession really make me want it, as I usually don't snipe, I just go round with a group of friends, so having a more close combat weapon might be better. I am torn! Could someone please tell me which one would be best for me? By the way, just to keep it relevant, I have no favourite weapon, but I hate the M4, .22 weapons and the shotgun.

You are fully geared, would you shoot these people?
falcon1439 replied to leefriendfield's topic in General Discussion
1) The guy would be full of adrenaline and would shoot at anything that moves, so yes I would open fire 2) They are fairly harmless, but I would wait until they left 3) One sniper I probably wouldn't kill, but two? Unless it was very obvious that they were guarding their friend, I would definitely open fire -
Were you near the north east airfield? My reasons for using the 50m example has already been explained :thumbsup:

Guys, I know you want hyper realism, but some of us who perhaps don't play 6 hours a day and perhaps want a bit of fun (shock horror) would like some realism give way for enjoyment.

If primitive weapons become commonplace, the normal player will be preyed upon by bandits armed with the best using a combination of server hopping and sheer dedication. For people who play the game casually, the game will be descend into a genocide of not so dedicated players. Maybe top military stuff needs to be toned down. But I really think the loot spawn isn't too badly balanced. Fresh spawns can find weapons to defend themselves, and whilst bandits can find perhaps better weapons more easily, at least other players can be a challenge. If primitive weapons are more common, hardcore bandits will ruin the game, simply by killing everyone.

I only help people when my gear is okay, when my gear is good I tend to avoid being a so-called 'hero'

Yeah I can snipe from long distances pretty well (800 metres plus isn't too much of a challenge), it's just leading a target that I have difficulty with, no matter what the range.
-
So practice on moving zeds? Well, I've never actually sniped anyone, I've only killed four people in my 85 hours of DayZ. Two point blank with a magnum, and two with a SKS less than 30 metres away. It is the only example of me shooting someone with a mosin, so I naturally used it. I use my mosin for support, and I've never needed to pull the trigger.

Opps, my bad :blush: Thought it was a SLR. Anyhow, my point still stands

Imagine if we pulled this off for a couple of hours (er lol!).
falcon1439 replied to mooky32's topic in General Discussion
Yeah I'd do it definitely, sounds really fun! Dibs on being in the police! :beans: -
Building art in DayZ Standalone not apocalyptic enough IMO
falcon1439 replied to GriefSlicer (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
This + ∞ -
I'm not going to bash on the devs, I really appreciate how much time it will take. I would like to see however, a comprehensive roadmap with approximate dates when features will be released. If that already exists, please link me to it! :beans:

As-50_Thermal and MP5K [ Standalone ]
falcon1439 replied to preacherlr's topic in General Discussion
To be honest, I wish we could have the MP5, not the MP5k. -
EDIT: Is actually a G3, sorry... The AK range does suck however :P It's advantages (being tough, reliable, and easy to maintain/repair) aren't factored in the game so yeah, at the moment the M4A1 is better. Although I reckon a 7.62mm round does more damage.
-
If someone has all the military gear (assault vest, ballistic helmet, high end gun and camo stuff) I'm more likely to open fire. I don't shoot on sight (unless you wear a payday mask), but the more military stuff, the more wary I am. Even so, if I think you're hostile I'll open fire no matter what your gear is like.
-
Your English is okay, but the blue text is really hard to read. Change it to something that contrasts with black :beans: EDIT: Good kills man, well done for killing bandits. However, always try to make sure they're bandits. They were this time (I think) but not every armed player is a bandit. The guy who was sitting down combat logged, there's recently been a patch where you stay in the world for around 20 seconds when you log out. So don't combat log unless you're in a safe place!

Foregrips - What Should They Do And How Should They Do It?
falcon1439 replied to Katana67's topic in General Discussion
Foregrips should be purely aesthetic. It's all to do with personal preference and really, guns don't need them. My dad used an FN Fal in the army, he thought it was fine. That had no foregrip. My uncle, who just came back from Afghan, used the SA80 and thought the SA80 was a great weapon. That had no foregrip. If foregrips were all advantage, I think all armies would have them on their guns. Many armies main battle rifles don't have foregrips, so surely that proves they are not the greatest things to guns since sliced bread. -
I can't stop killing fresh spawns.
falcon1439 replied to Smokey420 (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
One day, I hope to restrain you with handcuffs and feed you disinfectant. That's if I don't just shoot you on sight. Guys like you really p*ss me off in this game and I hope to kill you very soon, very horribly. Nothing personal mind :D -
Usually, if you're in a group, at least one of your group sees it. Another annoying thing is players disappearing. Annoying when you're playing with friends, really god damn frustrating in a firefight when you are just about to pull the trigger and he just goes invisible. Even more annoying when he uses his new found invisibility to sneak up on you and shoot you. But yeah, character wipes are annoying. Once I reverted from being practically a fresh spawn back to a character from months ago. That was pretty cool, especially as that character had a M4 with all the gear and ammo :thumbsup:

What I predict DayZ will achieve by the end of the year.
falcon1439 replied to TheWizard14's topic in General Discussion
What I hope: Some optimization Some glitches fixed New places New stuff Some vehicles More military and civilian stuff added What I expect: More military stuff only 80 versions of the same hat A bike that is glitched Even more Kos New rock formations In all seriousness, they're releasing updates left right and centre, but they should be because they are literally swimming in money now! Hell, they could do a lot more with the amount of money they've got! -
This youtube video shows my most frustrating moment on DayZ. Me and a friend had tried to make friendly contact with this guy and his friend. They shot at us as per usual :rolleyes: so we killed this guys friend and hunted for the other person we'd seen. Then this happened. He then proceeded to sneak after me using his new found perk and shot my twice in the chest with a blaze 95. I survived with no penetration to my body however (?) due to wearing an assault vest (swear I should've died). I'm not even mad about the glitch, just mad that I didn't shoot him the moment I saw him! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hvyq8gxvJ6Q

I personally don't like the idea too much, I think you should carry things around that show you how to do stuff (like Haynes manuals), but nothing like -15% that or add 10% this. Would ruin the realism for me and make it less of what DayZ is really about IMO

The Community's List of Suggested Weapons for Dayz Standalone (Version: 1.29)
falcon1439 replied to alexeistukov's topic in Suggestions
I really want to see weapons spawn the same, enough for people to get weapons to defend themselves, but not enough so that you can loot up in 5 minutes. Any less and people with gear would kill everyone really easily, any more and it's not a challenge
