Insaniac (DayZ)

I can't see where an AA weapon would ever be used against a horde of infected, it just wouldn't be used there. I mean maybe one of the military areas would have one stored away like the rare M136 but then again where's the point of adding another rocket launcher? the Chopper is the most difficult vehicle to repair so why give it another way to be destroyed, we should be focused on smoothing gameplay and adding more things to be fixed/built instead of adding a weapon which only purpose is to take down choppers.

Just having stacks of 5 bolts per slot would be great, right now its just a slot filler that is replaced as quickly as possible by any other weapon because it's so impractical.

I agree with animals that are naturally territorial or hostile, not infected animals since it would add a somewhat cliché feel to what could be a decent feature, for me at least.

Just adding more clothing in general would be good, of course there is no way to assure that someone dressed as a medic isn't going to put a .45 through your face when he says he's going to give you a transfusion but I would prefer to have the option there instead of just camo gear.

some of these things may not need much changing, simple beanbag rounds that someone mentioned before can just be a new form of ammo for the M1014 cartridge shotguns, and a lot of the non-lethal weaponry can just cause a player shock or knock them unconscious with a low chance of breaking a bone if say aimed at their legs but doesn't cause the massive trauma and rapid bleeding of conventional bullets. Again all of these affects are already in game and would just need to be fitted to these ideas. Also I would have great joy in shooting someone in the leg with a beanbag round and watch them flail in the middle of a town while zombies ravage them, just for funsies of course. +1 for Less than lethal

I cannot describe how much I dislike this, it's a survival game where players choose how to survive, killing other players is just a way to stay alive and they shouldn't be penalised for it.

It's true that 99% of the time a deer stand has some form of military grade gear in it making it as you say a loot jackpot, but I feel that the type of loot there should be changed to make it more fitting. Maybe change some of the deer stands into more military-esque outposts and then normal deer stands have hunting style loot instead like Winchesters and double barrels.

It would be a fun idea to see someone build a container fort on the seafront of Chernogorsk but I can see some problems with letting people build things of that size, such as players getting stuck inside them when they log in because someone moved a row of containers where someone logged out.

Considering that we no longer start with a canteen it would be a nice idea, it could make people plan where they go if they know they are low on drinks and don't have the weapons to go into a town safely.

I'm not sure why Deer stands have so much military ammo in them but never have rifles. I think they should be made to have more hunting specific gear in them rather than military equipment.

Some guns are loud and some aren't, so many times I have fired roughly 30 meters from a town to only attract 1 or 2 zombies. Now I stress that at that range I use shotguns and rifles and I constantly fire inside Chernogorsk and no zombies notice me at all. I'm not saying all guns are quiet, but most aren't anywhere near the level of noise that they should be making if you compare them to simply running.

Burning and burying bodies to reduce infection spread is a good idea, not entirely sure if it really fits with the game though. Maybe that could be added if you can catch an infection from hanging around dead bodies. Burying a body in a human/religous fashion is more moral than letting a corpse just rot on the ground or simply hiding it from sight.

I think it's a great idea, as long as you don't recover as much humanity as you lose from killing someone you cant "farm humanity" and if you kill someone by accident because they startled you or cross your line of fire its a good way to reduce the effects of your mistake without negating it completely.

It happened to me too, lost all my good gear to have it replaced by a shitty Makarov.

For me it's the only way to run Dayz, manual installation does not work at all and Six-Launcher is extremely fast, it takes on average about 4 to 5 seconds to download and install updates no to mention the fact that its easier for those players that don't know how to install mods very well.

I have been playing Dayz for about a week now and have already lost count of the times I would have loved to have a medic on speed dial, I would add you guys so I can message you when I'm in need of help but I do not use steam so is there any other way to contact you like Skype or TS?

The rarest loot I have found is probably the Camo suit, I have located almost all the equipment too except the NVG and range finder. The best loot I have ever found, the Remmington 870, it's not exactly rare like automatic rifles are but the thing is damn useful because it can use both slugs and buckshot making it useful at almost any range range and against both Zeds and Bandits. Plus it comes with a Tac-Flashlight so I don't have to waste my pistol slot or 5 spaces in my backpack carrying a torch. Also my .45 revolver is pretty high up on my best weapons list, it easily tops my favourite pistols because of its easy to find ammo and sheer power, it takes Zeds apart in one shot so conserving it's ammo is an easy feat.

Evenin' all, Insaniac here! Been surviving for a few dayz now in Chernarus, I hope to see some friendly survivors soon, so far I haven't seen any that I would trust enough to take my gun off them. I travel mostly by daylight but I have endured my fair share of midnight stints and even enjoyed a bus ride through elektro in the dark once.

I looked at this thread and expected to see maybe a dozen members, but then I saw the list at post #2 and well damn that's a lot of players. Clan looks nice, well organised website to boot. I'll keep an eye out for your members on my ventures through Zed land.
