DayZ will only utilize one of your CPU cores and at most 4gb of RAM.

Should be able to run DayZ moderately well, you should look into getting more RAM in the long run and that processor might need upgrading in the near future.

Fuel Source Depletion And Alternative Fuel Sources (Server Uptime)
Insaniac (DayZ) replied to Steak and Potatoes's topic in Suggestions
So what you're saying is you first thought that this idea wasn't realistic so it shouldn't be implemented, now you've been proven wrong so it's too realistic and shouldn't be implemented. Logic? None found here. -
I feel like I'm the only one who noticed it states that this is overpoch in the video title.

You're comparing two different classes of weapon so there's no "better" weapon between the two as they each excel in the area they are designed for. The AKM is an Assault rifle and is very good for general use over almost any range, it has great stopping power, range and is fairly accurate but it's fire rate is slightly lower to other models in it's class and it's 7.62mm cartridge produces some fairly high recoil. It may not be ideal in close quarters because of it's recoil and relatively low fire rate but it is still highly effective if you make your first rounds count as it is far more powerful than an SMG's pistol cartridge. The MP5K is an SMG meant for CQC, it has a high rate of fire, low velocity and low penetration rounds, very manageable recoil and it is compact. It is an ideal choice in enclosed spaces or over short distances, it's light 9mm round means it also produces far less noise than a full sized rifle like an AKM so it could be more useful if you are trying to clear an area quietly. However it will not measure up to an assault rifle over long range because it's pistol cartridge simply isn't as powerful. Ultimately it comes down to preference and the situation you happen to be in, personally I'd prefer an AKM because as Geckofrog mention it packs far more punch making it more efficient ammo wise and giving it an advantage in longer range engagements.

Some DayZ Facts About You...
Insaniac (DayZ) replied to cheeseburger8's topic in New Player Discussion
I was part of the Balota Blood drive gang, we would strip naked and assault people passing through the Balota area and steal much of their blood. Uncooperative people were rendered unconscious and were forced to play IV roulette where we would insert an unknown blood type into them and release them into the wild to see if they survived. -
if you join too quickly after a restart it is known to sometimes cause character wipes yes.

Killing yourself for a "better" spawn is no less an exploit than server hopping for loot and ruins the survival aspect of the game.
-
Removing upgraded mechanics that improve usability and give more free, realistic movement for the sake of being able to say "This game isn't a twitch shooter because it's movement mechanics are shit." sounds like a pretty stupid idea, but to each their own I suppose.

'Incapacitated' state needed before Char Death
Insaniac (DayZ) replied to roninhg's topic in Suggestions
So your suggestion is essentially making everyone invincible, regardless of weather or not someone just ventilated their skull with an gun? I'm afraid that gets a nope from me. -
shotgun slugs, different barrels, and different gauges
Insaniac (DayZ) replied to d.walker43's topic in Suggestions
I personally don't see the need for shotguns with different calibers, or for a dozen different types of ammo. Having said that, a basic selection of "buckshot", "Birdshot" and "Slugs" would be nice. -

The Coalition - Changing the Culture of DayZ

Zombie specific - M4A3 CCO, why? Because it has everything you need. It's got decent power and fire rate, a clear Aimpoint red dot sight, a fore grip to increase handling, a flashlight that Zombies can't see (like the military flashlight) and it has the ability to use SD ammo which makes it silent to Zeds, Ammo is both common and high capacity. overall it's a highly versatile and extremely underrated weapon. My second choice would be the M4A1 Holo, it has the same basic charecteristcs but the Sights and handling aren't as good, it also does not have a flashlight (which is useful for players without NVGs) but the M203 almost makes up for it, the ability to fire a smoke and hand grenades on the go rather than wait around for a 5 second animation is great and the flares are very useful for temporarily blinding players with NVG's who are less than friendly. Player specific - Mk.48, plenty of people have already mentioned that it has as much damage as a sniper, the ability to one hit K.O with a center mass shot, high capacity magazines, high rate of fire and a clear Aimpoint red dot sight. It is highly accurate too if you are experienced with it and has very good handling when prone, it's also one of the best anti vehicle weapons apart from the .50 cal's. Second choice would be the DMR, it has common ammo, great damage, a high fire rate (for a sniper) and great accuracy at long range. There are virtually no downsides to this gun apart from its lack of short range optics but it is pretty easy to fire from the hip anyway, the only reason this wasn't my top PvP weapon was because it has less than half the ammo capacity per inventory slot of the Mk.48 and is less useful at shorter ranges. I don't often like to have any more than one weapon with me at a time since it takes up a lot of room that I use for other things like vehicle parts and medical supplies so I often compromise with a gun that is similar to both my favorite Zed killing weapon and my favorite PvP weapon. Overall Favorite - M249 SAW, its got one of the highest fire rates from any of the ArmA II weapons, combine that with the versatile 5.56mm ammunition and its one heck of a gun. It can use it's own 200 round belts which feature the highest ammo capacity per inventory space and it can use STANAG magazines so it can be used like an assault rifle. because it uses the same bullet as the M4 it has the same power, bullet range and audible range, its sound when firing its far more intimidating than the M4's however. The M249 is more dangerous to players because although it has the same power as an M4 (which requires only 3-4 body hits to be lethal to players) it has a far greater rate of fire and when prone its more accurate than an M4 too. This all boils down to the M249 SAW being deadly, accurate, versatile, reliable, easy to handle and easy to maintain.
