True, but not all of them. There were quite a lot of good private hives in mod, don't see any reason why it should be different for SA.

I would not say server hopping is cheating, but it is kinda despicable, if somebody cleans NWA on 10-20 servers in an hour or so. I can only hope that once loot respawning mechanics are implemented, that total number of gear spawned could be lowered, which might make server hopping tad harder? To be honest, only way I know how to prevent server hopping and ghosting for sure, are private hives.

I wish they would change reload system. I would like if only items in tactical vest, pants or jacket, could be put onto hotbar. So if you had say Sporter in your hands, no magazine for that, you could drag .22LR ammo to the number 1 slot in hotbar and then if you pressed 1, your character would chamber round to the Sporter in your hand. With magazines it would be the same, you would have to put it in tac vest,jacket or pants, drag it onto the hotbar and reload by pressing the number. That would also remove the unwanted reloading, when you are trying to open doors :-D. TAB would be then used for accessing inventory and if you pressed it, your character would stop and kneel, same as was in mod. All this running while shuffling through backpack is a bit nonsence and I feel it should go away.

I like those ideas. I was just musing about: I wish they would change reload system. I would like if only items in tactical vest, pants or jacket, could be put onto hotbar. Also that if you had ammo in tac vest, pants or jacket, you could chamber your weapon by simply pressing "R", even if you did not have magazine. TAB would be then used for accessing backpack and if you pressed it, your character would stop and kneel, same as was in mod. All this running while shuffling through backpack is a bit nonsence and I feel it should go away.

Hmm not sure if implementing of this would be easy. I guess, that having to actively stab, will be how they do it, but let's wait and see. But I definitely look forward for working bayonets! edit: Would also love being able to bash somebody with buttstock of my rifle with some okish chance to knock them to the ground or even KO for few moments. I mean rifle buttstock is far better for knocking out people when compared to bare fists right?

Also a possibility, but since they noted only 5,56,x45 that makes me worried how such hunting rifle can be usefull when noticing hardship of getting ammo for that. 7,62x39 would just make a lot more sense from gameplay side, unless that new CZ is ment as something of a sniper rifle? Then making the process of getting ammo harder would make sense.

Oh yes, working bayonets!! That would make both Mosin and SKS so badass. edit: Wonder how they implement this feature. Do you think they will allow binding of specific key, or make it so you have to switch into bayonet mode and then stab with LMB?

They had to put something to the heli crash loot and the M4 was the most logical weapon to put there at this moment. The whole loot tables we have now must be simply placeholders, because there are only few guns at the moment. I'm quite confident that in the end, helicrashes will contain better weapons then M4 (maybe G36, L85, some kind of sniper rifle, LMG), but such weapons have to be first added to the game obviously.

Wonder what was the reasoning behind making CZ527 in 5,56x45? Does it mean that in order to be able to use civilian hunting rifle, I have to look for heli crashes or raid barracks? Would not making it 7,62x39 a lot more natural to use, since we can get this kind of ammo from civilian areas as well? Also when Sporter mags will be moved to purely civilian loot as well, thus allowing this rifle to be finally somewhat usefull? This is just couple of questions going through my head recently...

I don't think Mosin is that bad, but yes, it is not ideal for CQB :-D.

I hope the damage model will be tweaked. For example shotgun is totaly broken, often just ruining somebody's clothing without hurting him. Maybe it is because how items in clothing soak damage. Personally I would be happier, if 1 gunshot ruined just 1 item in every layer of clothing (jacket, tac vest) it passes,but still does full damage to the player. So if you get shot to the chest, only 1 item in jacket and tactical vest is ruined and you still hurt your target.

It's good to It's good to see you getting a bit more optimistic Gibonez. For me, the best thing added to DayZ SA could be one of those: 1. client optimalisation so that we can have good (40+) FPS in cities 2. fixed zombies, so that they do not ignore walls, do not see you over 300m, are a lot more numerous and dangerous as well. 3. weapons do not have that much of random dispersion. Also if dmg is tweaked so that pistols do not require 5+ body shots to kill, shotgun kills in 1 shot point blank etc 4. loot respawn mechanic is added, so that there is fewer items in total, but they respawn without server restart, allowing for some quality gameplay even after server is up for hours.

And here I was, thunking you ment firing Lee Enfield, the renown dinner bell (before dmg and noise nerf) :) . What's really funny is, that back then when I was new player of mod, I really died few times, because I fired that beast near Cherno / elektro. I can't wait for zombies to be fixed and their number upped A LOT. Maybe then I can relive something of that horror, when I was chased by over 10 zombies and I knew, I was done for.

Camping, however despicable it might be, is not againts sandbox rules and is something smart player have to take precautions against ie.not rush, but be cautious. And as Katana said, deer stands are so numerous and should spawn anything good only rarely, which alone will hardly make them place to camp. That is mostly reserver for barracks, jail buildings and other spawn places rich in good loot. I understand that you did not like the loot table, which at some point was done for deer stands. I remember finding DMR there once, which did not fit much. Later they've changed that and I was ok finding CZ550 from time to time. So what I want to say is, that you don't need to worry that much about deer stand loot. It most likely will not be anything extra crazy.

I've noticed the time of that post, after I wrote it, but yes you got a point here. Anyway, if somebody is against it, he should steer clear of it himself, out of a principle and integrity, I'm glad you agree on that :) . Time has changed, that's also true. I no longer get irked that much, when someone suggests adding this or that gun. I gave up on focusing if any gun would truly be found in my country or not. What remains a bit troublesome concept for me, is that caliber "streamlining", because it is something so alien even when compared to the mod. I was also both happy and sad, when they added CZ525, because they want to chamber it 5,56x45. Does that mean CZ525 will be almost useless, unless I hunt heli crashes or raid barracks for 5,56? I mean how feasible is to do that, only to be able to feed civilian hunting rifle? Kinda reminds me of how Sporter is handicaped, because mags spawn mostly in barracks or jail buildings. These kinds of decisions make me worry, I still hope they will reconsider in many such cases.

Please think about refraining from terms like this one. I remember well your reaction, when I used term "gun crazy" or how you dislike expression "tacticool", which makes me wonder, how come you are doing the same now. Demeaning or vitriolic posting seemed as something you were against, atleast that was what I thought up till now. Regarding attachments, rather have them do nothing, then something crazy like +30 accuracy.

Also crossbow + ammo for it, some hunting backpack as well. I remember doing deer stand runs around Devil's castle and then south-east of Grishino as well. At first it was relatively secure, but then more and more we encountered other players and often got shot.

I hope, that before they add this new pump action russian shotty, that they will actualy fix them first and also add slug ammo for those longer ranges.

What wasting of resources do you mean? Model of AK74 is already done, so all that is missing is model of 5,45x39 bullet, which could be done in few minutes. If wasting of few minutes is too much, considering that would make lots of mod players happy, then I will consider this as failure on their part. Personally any step towards casual player and "streamlining" is something that irks me. I will not blindly rage about it, I just see it as a step in the wrong direction and hence I will express this on forums. Lastly lets not forget that people are free to feel disappointed whenever they feel like it, no matter what anyone thinks about it. edit: I still support DayZ developers. I own most of the BI games, spent several hundred of hours in mod, bought 2 copies of SA, so I would not consider myself as "hater".

Btw I kinda hated the idea of having weapons made with 3d printing. I mean, considering the looks of Chernarus, how many 3d printers would there be? O_o. But if they even create map based on USA, then why not.

They deserve vacations, that's for sure. On the other hand I hate when development slows down :-). But yeah, new villages can wait. Architecture and stuff is more important.

Right. But I hope Devs will not make Warsav Pact weapons with Nato calibers, even if they are existing in real life(AK102 in 5,56 etc). WP weapon should represent eastern approach, but what happens if you introduce WP weapon, that was changed for western market? I mean I would hate having only AK102, from the whole AK74 family, since it fires 5,56x45, which is a bit out of place in post-communist country and should have different performance then when firing 5,45x39. In the end, if they do not want 5,45x39, maybe it's just better to not include AK74 at all. Maybe they can add Bren 805 that comes in 5,56x45 (and more), but not sure if that rifle isn't "too new" for DayZ world. edit: I wonder, if good Devs really think, that proper calibers are considered as unimportant in DayZ community.

But why can't we have X (5,45x39) and Y (5,56x 45) at the same time? Can't servers handle 1 more AR caliber? Is adding of regionaly widespread assault rifle, with correct caliber (in terms of quantity of manufactured rifles), somehow damaging the game? I realise this whole discussion is a bit pointless, Devs are free to do whatever they will. But even from gameplay perspective, I can't see much of good happening with caliber streamlining, when DayZ mod did not have that and became so popular. And even mentioning "casuals," when speaking about this supposedly "antigame" called DayZ Standalone, is just adding fuel to the fire, from the perspective of long time fan. ps I support your argument about 7,62x51 and 7,62x54. I just feel the same about 5,45x39 that is all.

Excuse me but what? Thats great. More reason not to cater to some imaginary casual player who is obviously brain dead, if he get scared of weapons with real calibers :-). Or maybe the logic behind this is that hardcore fans are already hooked in, they bought the game and now is the time to lure those who did not spend the money yet? I ofc hope it is not like that at all. It's just that some decisions and this new hunt for attention of "casual player" is worring me.

Nice that Scubaman has spoken although I can't say I agree 100% with him. Does nobody else remembers Rocket saying that DayZ SA will be antigame? How come that now the term "casual" player is being flung all over the place? Extremely casual players, that have like 1-2 hour per day to play, should really avoid DayZ SA, or be disappointed. Pretty please do not turn DayZ SA in 100% casual friendly game, it will ruin it. Btw also surprising thing is, that when casual player is now to be pampered, how come that Devs even contemplate adding of robust disease system to the game? I mean how confusing is few more calibers, when weapons have frikkin info saying what caliber they use, compared to robust infection system, where you can contract various diseases from various sources (food, water, contact with infected people or items etc). Can anybody envision how confusing this robust disease system might be for "casual Joe" that has just an hour to play? Once he contracts something, he will most likely jump off the cliff to start fresh O_o.
