Single not very complex reddit post, that majority of folks most likely even did not see, is just not enough to describe DayZ SA background. Even your own post about about specific military forces was FAR more complex and that was just made up fanfiction with zero real value, since it was not from devs. Think what you will, it seems that devs are not bothered about DayZ SA background much. Having just one pitiful post proves it. But yeah, let's argue for sake or agument shall we? :-).

Weird I can't see flying bullets at all, except for tracers ofc. Also saying you don't bother with AKM anymore sounds bit idiotic. In postapocalyptic world you would cream your pants finding AKM more so with drum mag. Oh well, enjoy your tailored AK101 supremacy, but don't be surprised when somebody kicks your bum with AKM though.

Hm personally I'm against majority of western WW2 weapons ingame as well as some modern oddities. I don't think that adding every single weapon there is would make the game better. Ofc you were not commenting on rarity, but still. It reminds me of czech tale about Dog and Cat making a cake. They put in everything they liked. Cooked it, but after eating it, they got sick.

There was this single reddit post where Torchia said something about DayZ being part of Armaverse and that there were NATO forces in that country etc. I mean it was single, not very complex post and that's it. It's as devs did not think about it much at all. Anyway given the stuff ingame, the year surely must be 2000+.

Oh dude, I see you went "CALMLY" full r-tard here. Oh well, bye bye.

You, me and majority of players are hoping that the new renderer will help with client optimalisations and we will finally get decent FPS even in towns. If DayZ should always run like now, it would be HUGE let down

Dude if you tailor fantasies, atleast stay consistent. In one post you wrote:"AKM can't even hit shit passed 500 meters.". In this other post you changed your story to "which is a piece of shit useful only up to 200". I understand you want to be e-badass, but chill down a bit and stop lying so obviously.

Ammo for AKM is still less pain to get, than going for it to Barracks or tents. Personally I don't like the drum much, I'd leave that only for RPK. Ak101 might be more accurate over long range, AKM packs more punch in close range though.

Some more NATO guns are welcome as long as they are considerably more rare then civilian rifles or AK's ofc. Maybe the problem with most of the gun debates is that not so many folks are mentioning rarity. Somebody says:"I want G36". Then Eastern setting lover goes:"Hell naw, we need more eastern stuff." And while I agree, that more eastern stuff is needed, some western gear is needed as well, should be just considerably more rare. Same with ammo, hence the AK101 was a bad move, connecting eastern rifle with nato ones. Hard to judge rarity when loot is FAR from being completed and tweake & ballanced. Let's pray to baby Jesus that duping will be fixed, item respawn tuned to be not too much, not too little and that Standalone will become a lot more about survival than about shooting with tacticool gunz like there is no tomorrow.

At the moment, there is too much of 5.56x45 ammo around. Also way to much stuff at NWA as well. Anyway I'd take AKM over AK101 any day if I could chose.

Sorry but what? By farming one would assume you mean loot cycling or server hopping or some other shady tactics. If you are asking how hard is to get the best equip now, then it depends. Was on NWA last night, somebody already went through it, so I did not find AKM of any type. Still there were several SKS rifles, tactical vests, pistols and crazy ammount of AKM magazines. Found like 10 in total, 2x drums and also few mags for AK101. Before going to NWA I found just shotgun and Blazer (twice) and some pistols. So maybe the answer is, that it is a bit harder to gear up, but maybe it just depends on your luck. Still there seemed to be too much stuff at NWA to be honest.

Well as I see it, Dayz could use more improvised stuff in general. Really, taping flashlight to rifle is not rocket science. I also disagree with "taping everything". While adding flashlight would have sense for night, taping foregrip would be foolish as it would wobble and fall off quickly, since you would apply quite some force by holding it while firing the weapon. By going with the same logic you could disagree with adding baseball bat with nails. Why, when you could simply loot axe right? Well reason is to enrich gameplay, provide more options as well as add bit of realism. So I'm all for a lot more improvised things and since dev team has grown up considerably, they should find time to do this at some point. Rocket himself said, that SA should be supported for several years. I fial to see why adding things like ducting flashlight to rifles something impossible or non-desirable. Also why not saw-off most of the rifles too? We got sawn-off shotty, mosin, but why not sporter or pump action shotgun, once it's in? There is really no reason NOT to do it , except that it takes time and resources. But hey, they've sold over 2 mils of the game, PS4 port is in play, only the sky should be the limit !

Scubaman made himself pretty clear, that the do not want to redo every model often. I still hope that further down the road, we will be able to duct tape flashlight on every rifle. It would enrich gameplay in my opinion and once new renderer is in, nightplay with flashlight might be a lot better than now.

There is simply no balance at the moment, that is all. Once we are in beta, then we should be seeing some good military stuff being more rare, even clothing and ammo as well. So at the moment, it's more about adding stuff and mechanics, rather then ballancing stuff or polishing gameplay. I strongly hope, that during beta phase, weapons and ammo, will get more rare. Also canned food will not be that plentifull, so that we will have to hunt animals. I'm not saying I want 100% "The Road" experience, but I think scavenging should be harder in every aspect. So yeah, I'm waiting for beta to see how the gameplay changes (I hope it will).

That was true bromance! Loved it till the bitter end.

I think that stamina system would balance it for both 1st and 3rd person. So having huge backpack filled with stuff would slow you down, you could not sprint or just for short periods, you would get hungry faster, because hauling all that stuff would be straining etc.

I've read about this as well. They are most likely quite rare though. Anyway I will start checking downed Mi-8's from now on, would love to find that vest and attach butt-backpack to it.

Hm yes, I also mused about leather sack being good because you simply need the deer pelt and knife/machette only. I had so much troubles finding rope lately, so that could, from gameplay side only, justify boar backpack to be larger. On a side note. I don't think introducing of large and camoflaged army backpacks would be bad. They could be rare, plus they would be kinda big, making your silhoute bigger and obstructing your overshoulder view. I guess that is not a big of problem on 3rd person servers, but it is a biggie on 1st person.

Yup, it should be the other way around. Or the big sack could be even 30 slots, the boarskin left 25. Still can't wait for some rare military camo'ed backpacks like Czech backpack was or the Big Coyote one. Edit:would love if you could attach some camping equipment to the backpacks. You know like fryin pan, canteen and such. Also there could be smaller hatchets, still capable of felling a tree, but maybe in more hits. Those smaller ones could also be attached to belt or backpack. Something like this:

Kinda weird picture and not only because it's almost pitch black. You no longer can attach bipod to Mosin and personally I think, that Mosin is fine just with bayonet and PU scope. Such old rifle is best left barebones, not every weapon needs to have all these tacticool attachments. I'm glad that shotgun did not get rails and bipod :-).

Just found heli crash west of Cherno on the beach. Was probably looted, but there was several cleaning kits around which makes me wonder, if their loot wasn't nerfed a lot.

It's 90% the same as upgraded courier, but the texture is not one of the burlap sack but of boar skin :).

Ah ok, they've added 5.56 back to military loot.

Is M4 worth it? When ammo spawns just at heli crashes or in AK101 magazines, it seems kinda annoying. Seems that dupers or hackers get the most from M4 at the moment.

Crafted that badboy an hour ago from deer pelt. Just move machette or knife over the pelt, it will give you option to craft a sack. Good thing is you do not need rope or sticks to make it. But as it is, 25 slot boar skin backpack rules!
