On a serious note, love the idea.

I was watching over Balota airstrip back when all of the good military gear was there and all of a sudden a fairly well geared guy, whom of which ran along from Balota town-side happened to get held up by two guys. I start zeroing my Mosin and establishing the range from the Sniper Hill to the road. Just as I'm ready to take a shot I hear someone else fire next to me about 15-20 meters away on the same ridgeline. Because I was looking through my scope, I saw the guy who was getting held up drop to the floor. I instantly see the other two guys start looting him so I know that the guy on the hill I am on is friends with the two guys down by the road. I take out my Sawn-Off, putting my Mosin on my back and slowly start to back away from my sniping position. I remember seeing a purple taloon backpack next to a tree, which was probably one of the smartest things I've seen done in DayZ. I was ready to take my shot on the backpack aswell until I was told to hit the deck. What made it scary was the fact that he yelled it and let off a warning shot next to me. I placed my hands in the air and the guy checked his gear, I guess to look for handcuffs or something. His mistake was simply the fact that he checked his gear - So I picked up my shotgun into my hands and spun around and killed him. By this time I was hearing "I'm coming for you", which was presumably the two guys from down the hill who were originally on the road. I ran further back into the forest area and hid in a bush, reloading my shotgun. It turns out that there were actually three of them who I knew I wouldn't be able to take out alone with a Shotgun and a Mosin, nevertheless they walked about 5 meters away from me and still couldn't see me because I was camouflaged. At least when they walked past me I was able to loot their friend, although alot of his gear was ruined I got more Mosin ammo which was in an ammo box.

I've come up with a simple idea which could project the use of duct-tape. As we currently know, carrying around duct tape is a waste of space, but it is so common. Why not use it as a pair of handcuffs? Tie it around someones hands and use a knife to remove it. The duct-tape should have a percentage of 100% to begin with and degrade by 25% every time you use it. Obviously, wriggling out of the duct-tape would be an option and would be slightly easier than the handcuffs, but would work practically the same. Simple idea, but it seems effective to me. Sorry for the lack of detail, but it's pretty self explanatory.

I found one AKM at NW Airfield, it was entirely unlooted on the eastern side so I moved East-to-West looting the airfield and picked up an AKM with PSO-1 optic and one of those fancy handguard rails. Surprised I only found one though. Love the rarity.

What would be the point of duct-taping a flashlight to a weapon when you already have Pistol/Weapon Flashlights.

If you're an experienced pilot, unlike the incompetent AI, then when your tail rotor is shot out it's the easiest thing to recover from. Speed is your friend. A ruined tail rotor won't stop you from flying.

Problems could potentially arise anyway. Say you log out in a town and the next day you log back in and it warns you there is a player in the area, first, the other player is probably now fucked since you know that player is there so the likelihood you're going to kill him if you have a weapon is high. The other problem is that it could spawn you a mile or so away from the 'zone' and completely lose your bearings.

Made this quickly in photoshop; I quite like the idea of this, although it does hold the potential to turn your character into Guy Fawkes.. I personally prefer the Chemlight Attachment over the flare attachment. Either way, It's going to work wonders for snipers.

Since it's clear you browse the forums often (judging by your significant amount of posts) I'm surprised you haven't realised that a pathfinding feature is being worked on for the Zombies in order to fix them glitching through walls, etc. thus meaning that the zombies will be more better. Plus, I'm bringing up the old excuse now of the game still being in Alpha and under heavy development.

I agree. The lack of loot in the more centralized areas of the map is what causes less incentive to go there. It is way too easy to get good gear on the coast and NEAF is way too easy to access. I can understand and am not by any means criticizing the airfields on the southern and eastern coasts as it adds a lot of fun combat situations, however I'm mainly looking for that in the middle of the map where it's basically a high stakes game of Russian Roulette rather than being killed and running directly back for your gear. The way to fix this is definitely to add spawns in the center of the map, as easy as that.

It won't necessarily 'never happen'. That's being stubborn. This suggestion is highly reasonable.

Raw meat isn't natural to stuff your face with at all, it can give you major food poisoning.

Do you have to run the game with GeForce Experience to get the frame boost or can you just run it as normal without GeForce Experience.

Try see if your aspect ratio is correct.

yep

Fair play, considering it'd be kind of hypocritical for me to back that theory down. The other day I was in one of them green piano buildings in Svetlojarsk and a squeaker runs up to me yelling "I'm friendly, don't shoot I'm friendly!!!1!" and then tries making friends with me. I didn't trust him at all, mainly due to his voice in all honesty, and he then resorted to punching me around 3 minutes later. So I shot him. R.I.P

This makes you seem like more of a 'sick bastard', as you say, than I am. So if you hear someone, even if they're a newspawn in need of medical attention and they sound like a douche, you'll just kill them. Yet you claim you're friendly.

Usually, when I find a Mosin in DayZ I would use it, I hardly ever skip by on a Mosin because they're almost perfect. Personally, I always have a notepad by my side in real life, and I'll write down range tables, a brief description of the surroundings and grid co-ordinates (taken from dayzdb.com map) and keep jotting them down so when I go back to that location after sniping there once, I can easily get the range. I'm not sure if many other people do this, but it's my personal specification and it makes sniping a lot easier. It's definitely the person behind the rifle which matters, if you have no experience with a weapon, even if it is in a game, the likely scenario is you're not going to be very effective with it.

If you fire a round through the back of his skull the only thing you're ruining is his brain, and I'm sure you're not that interested in harvesting his brain now, are you?

Go into your recycle bin and find DayZ.cfg, upon finding it, right click it and press Restore.

You have to use your axe and then use your scroll wheel whilst looking directly at a tree, you don't just click down LMB and the tree falls, it's a scroll option.

You're in Novy Sobor, next to Stary Sobor. If you head North West for around 3 clicks or so you should hit North West Airfield.
