Very good addition. I think things like the Sporter should definitely come with that so before you have a backpack if you come across both an SKS and a Sporter, you have a tough choice to make. Higher end military weapons should have a 50/50 chance of spawning with a strap, perhaps 30/70 and the strap should be an item you can find usable on many guns so if you find an AKM with one and don't want that, rip it off and go find an M4 or SKS, whatever. But the definite best guns you should probably be prepared for they should require a unique strap or holder so that bambi's can't just run directly to airfields and get the best weapons fully usable. I think backpack + rope should create an ideal strap for a weapon where just slotting it through backpack straps impedes movements, and then some backpacks like the hunting one should already have a strap type thing on them which works fine. It's something that you can be lucky and find instantly but if you die 2 hours in to the server most of the backpacks and whatnot are going to be taken, it's going to be difficult to survive which is what we need. Another good thing about this would be that it forces people to use bows. If you can't find or keep a gun you're going to need a bow to take down an animal and get food as well as get a makeshift backpack, hunting being a necessity would be awesome.

The OP? Lol, I think you're confusing surviving with murdering for no reason. Who would use humans for target practice in a world where the human population is dwindling and gunshots would attract hordes of zombies? No survivor I can think of, survivors are intelligent.

It's still broken and dumb looking they can't have 100% realism but this is something that's blatantly magical, if you want a gun early on you should have to carry it and make an effort to keep it safe. However this would be better when performing another action didn't mean just dropping your rifle and having to pick it up again or having it disappear when it hits the ground. Not gonna be hard to put a rifle under your arm and eat a can of beans for instance, they should add an animation for that first. Which is why I said in the full release, not right now we need easy access to guns and such so we can faster make sure they work properly. But it's not supposed to be a fun GTA style shoot-em-up with zombies it's supposed to be a difficult survival game, anything that makes that a reality is an improvement. Currently the only difficulty in the game at all really is other players, the game should be difficult to survive in even if you're the only person playing. Belts work out for some things too like an axe since the head could hook over. However if you have something that big through your belt then it should slow your movement speed so it's still not ideal.

But DayZ is a hardcore realistic game isn't it? It's easy and simplified as it is. Everyone laughs when people try to suggest the game be made more realistic in a way that makes it easier but then they're fine with these magical slots, hypocrites... (that isn't aimed at you newguyzombie) I for one love the adventure of gearing up and if that process took longer, love it. Yeah I was going to add that small weapons should fit round a belt, although it's kinda dangerous to run with a machete in your belt :P This would make it easier for people who already have guns but toning down bambi rampages would make the game have a more realistic mindset, people who used to do that would know they have almost no chance and avoid cities, their life would be more at risk and thus precious which is the main issue here too many "YOLO I'll respawn in 30 seconds anyway" ridiculousness.

I think we should be able to use the craftable leather bag as well as a backpack, to put guns in, nothing substantial a few pistols or an MP5. That would be good enough instead of some almighty military gear everyone would clammer for, it would encourage people to take to the forest and hunt too.

I thought they fixed that? I remember last patch I ran down then fine. Actually ran. Had to do it again, it was amazing, no sliding or broken legs... Hoping they improve the "hitboxes" for gates and things soon I'm always finding myself having to inspect the whole gate before being able to open it, usually while a mob of zombies are behind me. Same with ladders usually going down them have to get dangerously close to the edge to get the icon sometimes...

So you don't think it would be annoying if you were new and got killed over and over before you even got to do anything? Killing bambi's is pathetic it's like shooting fish in a barrel and the people who do it act like they're awesome. The mentality of the people who play it should be changed it was never supposed to be a massive GTA deathmatch but that's what you mod players turned it in to and that's what you won't let it change from. Hilarious how you all hate on console gamers for being casuals when you play games just like them. It's not the game, it's the players. KOS is just dull and boring who finds excitement in sitting in an airfield shooting people? Just yesterday I basically let a dude kill me just so I could shoot him a couple of times where is the fun in that? There's no skill or anything involved I had a 1911 and had to walk up the stairs slowly. It's just such a lame way to play the game do people not like a challenge? I love that we get grenades now, camping on the second floor of the building with the jail cell is very dangerous now... I'm just going to server hop and get a backpack full of them just to camp around there and kill KOSers.

Yeah I hope they get to work on it soon I have to hit a button 10 times before it does what I asked most of the time and there's nothing wrong with my keyboard. I also doubt it's a connection issue things like movement respond instantly it's just that there's an issue with. It would be cool if we could use our mouse wheel to select them, like in MineCraft. If the issue is the pressing of the number keys perhaps that could work maybe hold an unused button like \ to enable hot bar scrolling.

It's still lazy and sad though how do people not enjoy the adventure of gearing up. I love being absolutely starving and being able to eat 4 cans of food I've collected, it feels epic to come back from the brink.

All the more reason for people to try stand out and not do shit like that so that the mentality might die down and banditry be a rare and scary occurrence not all there is to experience pretty much. That guy attacking you with the fire extinguisher was hilarious you were feeding him and everything but nope, too lazy to find his own gear...

Beyond barricades there should be NO escape! It's about time zombies became a threat, so I think they should have new skills like climbing up ladders and maybe opening doors(when they don't just run through them) unless they're barricaded or locked by players. This would be fantastic and it would add so much difficulty, you can run away from a horde up a hospital roof but if you don't have a gun and loads of ammo, you're screwed 30 zombies are coming up that ladder. This is how it should be in my opinion, no more safe camping on roofs to shoot everything, if you fire a shot the zombies are coming, make stealth 100% necessary in build up areas. Just that makes it the zombie survival game we need it to be.

Safety should be barricading yourself in like if they let us move furniture and lock doors behind us, you're safe if you keep stealthy too but if you slip up it shouldn't be so easy as climb a ladder! Yeah I think the runners should be fresh zombies essentially, with the motor functions and intelligence to open doors(maybe it could take them a while) And then crawling ones for a start leap a hella distance, unless it's a tall ladder they should be able to jump up so their arms are on the roof and pull themselves up slowly they seem fairly animalistic, monkey like even. Plus maybe they're stronger no normal human can crawl like they do as fast as they do and jump like that. Maybe the zombie virus turns us in to apes... Hilarity aside. It'd be pretty great. It would make stealth weapons incredibly useful and make everyone think twice about shooting anything since they might have to take on many zombies with no escape.

Ahh, I think I have come across the other before the one in I believe the North is usually where I come in from the one to the West is new to me but I never realized it looked familiar and yet different... I'm experiencing a rather annoying but since this patch. Sometimes and almost always when I'm running if I select something from the hot bar a random action happens, such as jumping which I'm definitely not pressing accidentally. It's really quite annoying because I'm taking out a weapon to turn round and kill zombies with, after jumping my character stops to take the weapon out meaning the zombies get a hit or two in. Another one is attacking before taking the thing out I had a Longhorn out and was selecting a water bottle and it aimed down the scope and fired(no bullet in it though) Also hot damn the Longhorn sounds awesome definitely keeping it.

Because people who ruin the fun in exploring for newbies are such nice people. Call me carebear all you want that's just an opinion, I have the asshole opinion of you makes no difference to our lives. Fact is KOSers piss off a lot of people and a lot of them have turned away from the game because of their senseless behaviour. Yeah "arguing classes" that was just priceless. And all the stuff about being trained to use guns etc probably more like watched a few movies or YouTube videos.

I have no idea... Are there 3 around the hospital? God damn...I check two and one up the road... Oh well I already had an AKM anyway :lol: And yeah about the animals I hope they find some way to amend that, maybe make animals faster than both people and zombies cos it's kinda dumb being able to kill a deer with an axe. Hopefully they don't remove zombies chasing them because that's awesome.

(EDIT lol looks like I'm in the shower...) Found a sneaky AKM there, this is at the hidden military base area. So be thorough when searching. I found an MP5 in a police station but it was a toss up between that, an engraved 1911 and a magnum, they won. We really need a belt slot or something, 4x3 is silly that was my whole high capacity vest. I think they should be 4x2 or 3x3. Compared so a pistol which is 4 slots and a mag takes only one slot you can have a high cap vest with a gun and 8 mags, I feel MP5's Damn I hope they add one. Though it doesn't matter for me right now since I basically let someone kill me. For anyone that can't find AKM's don't bother with airfields unless you spawn in when the server just restarted they're probably going to be gone, check the hidden military base there are 3 barrack buildings in it and then up north from there there's the town with a small base in it and 2 barracks. Between those I found 3 AKM's hiding around on a high pop server that had been on over 2 hours. should be more viable as a secondary since as a primary they'd be pretty crap.

But also you can lay on sofa's and bed to restore stamina. Imagine how funny it would be coming across people sleeping in a double bed in the middle of a road I so hope they make that possible.

Yeah currently someone with a backpack full of loose ammo and other metallic objects can run up behind you with big hiking boots on and be silent until they're like 10m away. I'm not sure they can make sound so complicated that you would hear the stuff in their backpack clanging together so environmental hazards like cans is a very great idea.

I'm fairly sure it only recently got nerfed. Anything up to 10m is an easy kill that's what it should be used for it's not main weapon material ideally saw it off and use it to clear buildings. It has it's place. Just because you can't kill people from 50m with it doesn't mean they should remove it, else they might as well remove the Amphibia and Sporter and everything else crap and just leave AKM's and M4's because they're good. There needs to be some shit weapons you're forced to use or run away. If you have no weapons and are locked in a house with 20 zombies on your ass and there happens to be a shotgun with some shells there used properly it's gonna save you. Better than nothing.

And a trailer for cars. When it's set up so you can have a base that stays after server restarts imagine how cool it would be if you and some buddies could take a fridge and tables etc and kart them back. Maybe they could add pristine, worn, damaged and badly damaged furniture so your goal could be to create a nice clean base B) That would be awesome.

Glad I never found that out the hard way... So the NE Airfield is gone or something? That seems random I haven't checked out the eastern half of the map in forever think I shall. Is there anything different in the new towns or is it just same old same old?

I've played it like 300 hours or something hold on I'll check... Think the counter was reset it used to say 200 now it says 124 but whatever 124 hours is more than enough so your argument is invalid. Your argument classes scare me bro... I'm not going to bother replying to all that because you've ordered it in such a messy fashion that it's a pain to read but I'll reply to highlights. 1. Are you serious? I'm not talking about getting a bunch of people and trying to kill all the infected I'm talking about getting a bunch of people and escaping while fighting them off, one person can't do that. How the fuck does defending yourself make you a hypocrite? That makes no sense. People would have to form groups for the human race to survive, just because some people would group up and protect each other doesn't mean they wouldn't shoot people who attacked them what in the fuck are you talking about? Sometimes it would be necessary to shoot people but not all the time, maybe if you're retarded or don't want to people to survive. 2. You must be one of these cool hardcore people. Again for serious? No they wouldn't, they would not wade through zombies in Berenzino and sit on a hospital to shoot people, in fact in virtually every zombie movie and book ever the focus is getting the fuck away from cities and the hundreds and thousands of zombies that would be there. A smart person would take what they need and go not camp on a roof and watch it, find some empty cabin in the middle of nowhere. You have very poor ideas on survival my friend. Anyone who sits on a roof shooting people would never get down again unless they had grenades or something to clear away the mountain of zombies that would stand around the building. I...what? Do you realize how dumb that is? Maybe you're shooting a weak link. Maybe you're shooting a monster who could rip zombies apart with his bare hands or a mechanic or a doctor or someone who has the cure to the zombie plague, shooting them on sight is fucking beyond stupid. What a smart person would do is hold them up and try to discern whether or not they'd be useful then either let them go or shoot them if they seem like they'd come back with a grudge. Stop calling me the stupid one when you clearly haven't put any intelligent thought in to how people would survive, people who try to lone wolf it would only survive if they kept away from everything and they're just going to die alone, explain the intelligence in that compared to getting a few hundred survivors, making a base and living on. Not really, shooting isn't hard at all. Shooting someone 1000m away requires some math but shooting in general doesn't or have you never heard of rednecks? People that can't even read can shoot good, math doesn't matter it only helps in complex shots. Shooting something 50m doesn't require an extreme level of skill. I'm 20 how old are you? You argue like you're pre-pubescent. You called me self-sympathizing as if I got shot once and suddenly proclaimed that shooting people is wrong and that the game is terrible. Which isn't the case, plenty of people are fed up with the KOS bullshit and I'm on their side because I and they want to play this game like it's real life, not CoD or GTA where it's kewl to kill everyone 360 no scope style. If they're retarded. If you get in a zombie apocalypse situation and your "surviving" is living off canned goods until death you are stupid. A smart person would find somewhere deserted or an island, get some people and go live there and create renewable food sources AKA farm. People that just collect stuff and move on are merely prolonging death it hardly qualifies as survival. Primal instinct doesn't work that way if you were by yourself and threatened by people shooting at you or zombies, yes. If you wanted to live on and have a family you would find people and live with them. Hardcore man, so hardcore. You could survive on your own just fine, whatever. You would die on your own. Standard civilians who don't have your wealth of knowledge would band together and adapt or do you think everyone has the knowledge to survive on their own? Everyone has different skills a community with a mechanic, doctor, hunter, dentist, farmer, engineer and scientist is far more efficient than one guy. They might slip up and all die like in the movies but not every group would. If you're even legit with all that can you not even picture how people who aren't trained in those ways would operate? Just because you can do that, if you can, doesn't make you some kind of genius. You would enjoy a lonely survival and die when you started getting old or sick whereas groups of people who found somewhere defensible would be having kids and building society again slowly.

Yeah I mean when zombies aren't intangible mutants with special powers they should do crap like this, if we can hide in buildings from hordes of them chasing us it will be way too easy.

What was wrong with them? Last patch I made one fine.

Is there any kind of 10-20 round mag for the AKM? Honestly I'm satisfied using it like a semi-auto sniper it's so damn powerful and the scope is excellent. Unless the M4 got significantly better(not had one since they moved) the AKM laughs in it's face. Have they done anything with the rarity of animals? I was looking for some for hours I must have run like 20 miles, just bad luck or are they harder to find? I was in the west of the map too heard people saying there's more there. In the east I was finding deer very frequently before.
