True but lets wait till zombies are properly done and new melee system is fully implemented. Would be bit crazy to significantly boost zombies as they are now, I think. But yes, later I would expect zombies to survive several hits except for headshots.

Ah ok, been nice talking to you.

Come on! He even sweet talked you so you have to oblige! :-D

Sure, it's not like I've suggested both different way of reloading and how to pave way for not using backpack on the move. Yup, totally unrelated for shure.

I have to say, that so far I'm very happy with this new patch. Melee seems tad better, still not optimal but we are getting there and loot is finaly back. Not too much, but you still find something and that makes game fun for me. Also lots on new craftable stuff like leather bag (deer pelt), burlap sack wrap for Mosin, 1st stage of being able to craft arrows etc.

Fair enough. Personally I would not trade accuracy of keyboard+mouse for convenience of sitting on couch with gamepad. On the other hand if my wrists get bad from playing, gamepad might be my last option (out of necessity though). Just sayin'.

It's actually kinda related since implementing what I've suggested would make it easier to stop access to backpacks while moving. I mean a lot of folks would cry if they had to reload only from inventory.

For your sake I hope devs will put in correct velocity for level action rifle. We all know how horny you are after western stuff. With revolver, level action, cowboy hat, riders jacket....maybe all that's let are boots with spurs? As for shotgun speedloader bug....HTF I did not know that?! Is that bug still in or was it fixed? I kinda like shotguns, loved that they upped/fixed the damage, although it seems as shooting just 1 pellet.

But why completely ignore my suggestion about jackets and pants having items easily accessible? I know how backpack worked in DayZ mod or in reality.

Even having spent dozens hours of playing FPS'es on Xbox, before I sold it, I could never appreciate clunkyness of gamepads vs precision of quality gaming mouse. I guess it also depends on how much you care about the outcome of gun fight. Only positive thing I see about gamepads is that your wrists are not under such stress and that you can sit on couch and pretend you play on console. Every time I see console players arguing about how their gamepads are better for FPS games I cringe. Not saying it is what you are saying here though.

Why would you need to go through backpack, if you have bullets in pants or hoodie? There should be a difference of having items in easily accessible pants pockets or hoodie contrary to unslinging backpack and shuffling through it. My suggestion is it to allow only stuff from jackets and pants into hotbar. Say you have mosin rounds in hoodie. You put mosin rounds to slot 1. You have mosin in your hands, you want to load a bullet, you press 1 and you put 1 bullet into Mosin's internal magazine. Obviously you would need to press it 5x to load all 5 bullets. If it was AK and there was ak mag in slot 1, you would reload whole magazine by pressing 1.

I think first improvement should be, that written notes looks different than blank paper. I'm tired of checking every paper I find only to stare at blank page O_o.

Wait what? You would really play Arma games on gamepad? I mean the infantry part, not vehicles ofc. If so then you never cease to amaze me Katana67.

Personally Id like players having diaries a lot more. Maybe some entries could be automated, like when you kill a player or find a gun or something.

Well yes, in reality you could cut off anything off your victims. Still not sure it would benefit the game O_o.

Why not make it more realistic? I would so wish if we could add items to hotbar only from jackets and pants. Those would then allow for quicker reloads. Any stuff in backpack should trigger backpack animation, so player kneeling and shuffling through backpack. I find it ridiculous when you are running and still be able to access backpack and reload weapon or whatnot.

Why not Id cards? Every survivor we play is adult, so he must have id card. Not saying that in real life apocalypse people would bother much with carrying their papers around, but it is still more realistic than everybody having dog tags right?

Every pig needs it's Shrub Rocketeer aka pig avenger! And I have a dream...that maybe one day, Shrub's novels will make it into DayZ and become part of the lore. They surely deserve such canonization.

Yup reading pornography in public spaces is punishable by death, preferably from scoped Mosin!

Fair enough, still it was not very detailed info nor was it communicated in a proper way (not everybody follows every single tweet or FB post or lost Reddit post). Oh well, I think i just freaked out a little, when Chaingunfighter mentioned Vietnam.

Devs haven't confirmed that Arma 2 lore = DayZ lore. They did not say in what year this is happening, neither if it is in the same Armaverse so to speak. In that regard your comment is moot and the whole CHDKZ vs government might not apply at all. As for Vietnam, I was trying to point out that it was very specific case, when talking about weapons. One that could hardly be used as a model for East European conflict happening tens of years later.

What? You don't like my essays?

I think that sometimes people fail to see difference between poor country being directly supported by more advanced countries, no matter if the reason is political or religion and just poor country nobody gives two damns about. So yes, in Vietnam they had ton of gear, but they were directly backed up by almost whole Eastern block, which kinda made big difference. Also while I can agree with "doesn't mean that folks do not have a variety of weapons." but it should be obvious that said weapons will be often obsolete and barely shooting straight. All in all, I would strongly disagree with Vietnam being "model" role for east European conflict when talking about weapons. Same as Ukraine rebels being backed up by Russia and Oligarchs are another specific case. In the end it all depends on devs though, they can implement unicorns if they wished.

It's really 25 slot? Darn then it's really good. My only problem was I could not find boar and if I did, I did not have knife or rope O_o. I tried to do leather backpack from cow leather many times, but it just did not work. Not sure why boar has magical leather allowing backpack to be created, but cow does not?

Not bad. I would advice carrying bandages/rags in your backpack, since they tend to get ruined quickly in pants&jacket when being shot. Same applies for ammunition and basically anything you deem valuable. I tend to put only canned food in my leg and chest slots and maybe ammo for secondaries.
