Right... because ignorance solves problems since like... forever. Just sayin'

Maybe one way to even out the fight against automatic weapons would be to implement weapon jaming for automatic rifles. It would be realistic but could end up being frustrating for players. If Rifles like the blaze couldn't jam it would balance the weapons just fine. I'm thinking of m4 on auto: possible jam = you need to push reload to shoot again after 1-3 seconds, m4 on semi auto = no jam.

DayZ Dictionary Word of the Day: Friendly In the old days friendly was a term that gave you that warm fuzzy feeling in your belly. Remember the days with hot chocolate around camp fires with your friends? Or the friendly soccer games where middle aged woman would pray on young single dads while their daughters played a "friendly" game of soccer? Well guess what. Those days are over boi. The word friendly means now that a 12 year old russian kid will scream at you while his 45 year old dead sneaks up to you with a screwdiver and trys to stab you in the neck. The word friendly means now that even hollywoodstars like morgan freeman will get robbed of... well his freedom as well as other... bodily fluids. Check here for proof: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCy5OkG7_WR07nbgkDLDXZYQ Friendly in this new world means that even the zombies learned to scream friendly with a french-russian accent to lure in newspawned bambi-pray. SO BEWARE. In Order to stay alive you will need to become a hunter, the beast who will rip apart others just for a can of beans. So if you meet players, meet them right between the eyes. Problem solved. If that fails at the first attempt try the so called "tactical breathing" (yes, it really is named that way and I would like to rip off the balls from whoever thought of this cringe worthy bs name). It goes as followed and can help you to get rid of the anxiety as well as get your mind of the danger for a few moments: Inhale through your nose, deeply, expanding your stomach for a count of four – one, two, three, four.Hold that breath in for a count of four – one, two, three, four.Slowly exhale through your mouth, completely, contracting your stomach for a count of four – one, two, three, four.Hold the empty breath for a count of four – one, two, three, four. Happy Hunting my friend, and may your weapon never jam at a critical moment.

Dude... take a hint. I was making a joke in the sense that germans don't make mistakes, ever. There was no reason whatsever to explain what you meant. It was understandable the first time.

Hi I'm German. Just a quick question: What is this "mistake" you speak of?

The problem is not wether the game should display realistic guns or not, because it absolutly should. The problem is that right now the guns that are in the game can fill in for specific tasks . Without the bipod, compensator or LRS there is an important part in the game missing that many enjoy right now. If you really want the changes of the guns for realism, you need to include the weapon that was made for the task (e.x. sniping) first. I don't want 50 .cal rifles or even halfautomatic DMRs. But I want my bolt action sniper rifle tbh. the game wouldn't be the same without it for me.

YorkMorgan is right in my opinion. Telling us there is a new engine isn't really news unless you guys tell us what advantages and features we can expect and around what time it will be truly relevant? (6 months? 12 months?) Can someone please explain what kind of features the engine will have? How will this affect the physics in the game? Does this mean no more broken legs falling from 30 cms? How will the bullets be affected in terms of muzzle velocity, gravity, and aerodynamic drag? Will wind play a role in the long term? Will the performance drop issues in cities be solved? What about objects like grass in the far distance? Can we ever hope to see grass when we are 1000 meters away or is this simply not possible with the current engine and average computerspecs? I would like to play this game with higher graphic settings but even given the fact that my PC specs are not bad I have to play on low settings for specific situations.

I started the game 3 weeks ago, I have 160 hours now and I'm geared out completely for about 1 week now on regular. (Played hardcore only 2nd week). I fooled the reaper for... I dunno maybe about 15 times now?; getting shot at, evaded zombies, fixed broken legs falling from stairs and being mostly around the most dangerous places berenzino, NEAF and svetlo. Personally I will never stop looking for trouble geared up or not. I fucking love this game to the max. My only disappointment so far is the bugs around sniping. Not seeing where the shot hits, no mildots in the scope, inconsistency in player model placements, desync. What is the point in maxing out my gear if I don't get anything out of it? Don't get me wrong I would absolutely hate if they implement stuff like infrared scopes or DMRs that are to precise on long ranges. The gear should be important to survive but shouldn't give too much of an unfair advantage and destroy the survivalist (and stealth is necessary for that) feeling! But that you care for the stuff that you could lose should be one of the most important aspects of the game! After all it helps you staying alive. And not in a night fever sense.

Well I was thinking that I asked a valid question in this thread and I never recieved any kind of response at all. So I can understand the frustration of some people here to some degree. After all they are complaining because they really like the game, because they care about it. And that in itself can be rewarding for the one who makes it, no matter how poor the choice of words might be or initial intention ;)

So I did a lot of long range shooting (starting at 500-600 meters) the last week and I must say I'm still confused about it. Just some information on what I did: -Mosin with lrg, compensator, bipod all pristine -range estimation with maps and without (using mildots method or pure estimation of the range) -shooting at objects, zeds and players (moving or still; standing,crouching or prone) -all ammunition used was pristine -I have no chain of doom most of the time I play All in all I'm confused why 1. It seems completly random if I can see where the shot hits (smoke puffs, blood on players, zeds) 2. It seems kind of random (even considering desync, lags, high ping) if I hit shots I made from the same position (same heightdifference, same distance to the target, target has the same height) 50 times or more 3. Even the Time the Bullet travels seems to be inconsistant (yes even on buildings; non moving targets) ranging from ~0.5 seconds to ~1 seconds at 500-600 meters. What's up with that? I don't think this is all related to lags, desync? Are their mechanics in the game that give every bullet a unique behavior? Is it possible to change server values that influence this behavior? Any tips?

I wanted to do testvideos last night but when I got into the game my fully geared character was wiped. I need to go and get my stuff back, but that will take some time.

Zeroing is so basic that I didn't even bother to mention it. I'm doing it ofc as well as using correct times to hold my breath before the shot. As I mentioned the things I described happened as well in postions where I knew 100 % that the distances where correct because I made multiple succsessful shots from the same position at the same target point at the same kind of target (human) using the same point of aim.

I'm aware this would be an unusual kind of approach but why is no company ever considering getting help from the community? If you take a look at the unix code community there are actually pretty safe ways to let a huge public group contribute to a project without altering it in a negative way (like coding in cheats or such). Are you afraid that someone will steal stuff or there will be sideeffects in the gameplay in unexpected manners? Or would you feel bad because people would do actual work with no pay for you? Get the programmers for mods onboard. epoche mod for arma 2; dayz, devs for altis mod. would speed up the progress with same or better quality in the same time. maybe... You have so many able people with passion for the game. I never understood why noone would draw from those potential resources to bring a better experience to everyone involved.

So unfair deaths hm? ok here are my top deaths I think were not O.K. BRO: 1. Died because a hacker killed me (He was running with lightningspeed through the woods, my whole squad of 5 never heared the m4 shots and he hit me at least 3 times before I blacked out and best of all, he was floating 5 feet midair) 2. I logged in and where dead. just like that. There where no zombies or players near when I logged out, I was healty, hydrated and energized. I just left the server and reconnected because it went down, 2 of my buddys logged in with me at my position and were perfectly fine (thankfully, running up to the nwaf takes some time right?!) TIP: if a server goes down, log out immediately yourself, don't wait for the server to kick you. I assume that was the reason of my sudden death! 3. I fell through the floor of the ship to my death 4. Couldn't pull out my pistol while prone while a newspawn approached me with a shotgun in the woods In the 3 weeks I played I got killed by other players only one time in a fair firefight, all other deaths are related to hackers or glitches. But you know what? I don't care at all (ok, maybe a little bit about the cheater but shit happens right?) Because this game is truly awesome!
