Pretty much. Also this will most likely make 5,56x45 more common, which I kinda don't like due to the setting. 7,62x39 would fit a lot more I'd think. Btw anybody feels that pistols need to be made more viable? A bit more accurate and more powerfull as well. Ofc compared to rifles they are extremely close range, but atleast 30-40m would help. And please no full magazine to the body, to kill someone.

Just hope Devs will soon disable the option to put containers into containers. How hard can that be?

One has to hope that work on replacing the aging renderer will progress without any major delays. I guess that only after new renderer is in, we can expect something good performance-wise.

I have to say I'm irked about mods closing "the correct caliber" thread. Don't understand why? Also recent post from Ch.Torchia on reddit made me feel tad uneasy since it clearly shows devs are not changing their approach to "caliber streamlining", hence alpha argument is not helping much. http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/298e21/will_we_see_the_addition_of_new_cartridges_or/ciijcw7?context=3 p.s. I guess this post is way offtopic hm?

They should put this combo back, I dont believe it would take much work to do so. Also I do not mind light clipping....I will always prefer some clipping, but lots of options, rather then having zero clipping but also a lot less options how to combine your gear. Come on, this is DayZ, nobody expects (Spanish inquisition) this to be polished diamond!

I suspect that weird system of items absorbing the damage of bullet, can be the cause of this. It is ofc stupid, that when I get hit in the chest, bullet ruins like 4-5 items, ruins tac vest and jacket, and then does rather small damage to me. I mean it'd be cool if 1 bullet ruined 1 item in vest and 1 item in jacket, but that bullet should probably still do considerable damage to the player. When speaking about headshots, nothing except ballistic helmet, should save the player obviously, no matter how many cans he has in vest,jacket,pants or backpack. Previously, in Arma 2, only problem with hit detection was that noticeable delay, before it got applied. Now, most of such things should be server-wise, yet it often feels wonkier. Oh well, let's see what future brings, I still refuse to call Devs liars.

Except the tent will not require fuel to work, will not require looking for several parts to make it work, tent will not alert nearby people by sound etc....and I believe tents will be in several colors :-).

Would you advocate dumbing down chess, because you dont have enough time for proper session? DayZ mod was never about "quickies". Dayz gameplay is long and often tedious, you run through woods "forever", that is a part of game. If the formula changed drasticaly, many DayZ mod players would get angry and for a reason. I am sorry to hear you no longer have enough time to play. I can understand that, I have small kid myself, BUT that is not reason to change DayZ into "insert your generic FPS here".

So I take it you don't want to play on hardcore 1st person servers for some reason? Because if I were so irked about 3rd person, as you appear to be, I'd stick with them hardcores and avoid that problem completely. Only fool would carry a weapon without ammunition for weeks. Smart player will collect all ammo he can find and then uses the one for gun he finds first. Also please do not pretend that few different calibers are too much for normal player. It is also clearly writen what weapon uses what ammo. There is really no need to "dumb" the game down for imaginary players, who supposedly get headaches, if guns use real calibers. We are really NOT talking about 20+ calibers in the end.

Yeah but still, Skorpion looks way more badass wouldn't you agree? Anyway I'd like both of them in game!

I guess people got confused because it takes like 8 minutes or so, for stake to get cooked on fireplace. Many folks woun't wait that long :).

I don't think we need Walmart in good 'ole Chernarus. I am more excited about castle prison building and I hope we will get some kind of NATO outpost with specific buildings & tents.

Just yesterday, I was in Chernaya firestation, casualy going through the tower part and bam, broken legs, ruined pants....but I survived.

If I encounter a player, who has weapon but holstered, I mostly try to communicate. If I bump into somebody pointing a gun at me, I often shoot. Also if I'm with buddies, I tend to be more friendly as I feel safer. Just today we met cool Ukrainian girl Dasha. Well she had no weapon except machette, so it was not hard to let her live. We just had to pacify one of our group, who desperately wanted her mountain backpack and tac.vest. In the end we all traveled into Novo, we encountered some Blazer snipers, we killed them both but lost 1 of us and that was end of today's story. Pitty we most likely will never meet Dasha again, but it's not good to get over attached anyways.

Good thing you dont ever need to join 3rd person enabled server aye? One would expect this endless stupid debate about 3rd person "cheaters" to stop already, but no, it will never go away will it? Similar thing with TeamSpeak "cheaters" and such.

Not sure it is the best picture, but here is one, sadly the flat one without any camo. EDIT:Somebody else already provided better picture darn O_o.

That sounds cool! Huge recoil is to be expected when somebody goes full auto with AKM.

I thought Devs already stated that work on new renderer has started. Once done, this should bring more FPS as well. edit: bad FPS is reason why some of me buddies no longer "play" SA alpha. One of them even gets slight headaches because the game runs a bit choppy in cities.

Kinda hate the idea of 1 player polluting server with several backpacks or tents. I'd like 1 per player no matter how unrealistic that is O_o. edit: crap double post,sorry

Well if those attachments do not magicaly add +30 accuracy, then there should be no harm of adding some rare pieces. In the end, people like to have some kind of goal even in sandbox game like DayZ. I mean I prefer stock looks, for me it makes more sense when talking about poor Post-communistic country, but if it's just aesthetical there should be no problem. Some were hunting helicopters or cars, many went looking for their dream gun, problem is, that none of this is yet in SA.

I'd rejoice if Sporter's mags finally spawned in civilian buildings only. It's crazy they are part of military loot and it is puting anybody trying to use Sporter at disadvantage. Being able to get Sporter's mags from civilian buildings would boost usage of that little beast by a ton.

I never find bow & crossbow arrows sooner then Mosin/Blaze/SKS, hence it is hard to force myself to use em. And I would love to use bow or crossbow, so I hope arrows are gonna be craftable soon. edit: when I think about it I wonder, what is the real DayZ as Rocket wants it. I'm starting to think it will be a LOT different then mod and that many folks might not like it. Still private hives and modding community will provide alternative.

That is ofcourse true, although in my previous post I've hinted, why some folks might be upset. Personally I find term "tacticool" rather funny, but that can be just me.

When people stop d*cking around Berezino and head inland. Plus these 3 things: 1. fixed zombies 2. client optimalisation 3. zombies&loot respawn without server reset

I think the example failed here. "Tacticool" is aimed against overtuned weapons (subjectively), while "reali-tard" is mix of realism+retard so aiming to demean person or group of people, which in my book is a lot worse. Also I find it quite understandable, that some folks are irked by attachments magicaly adding accuracy to some weapons. When you add caliber "streamlining", that is the cause of 5,45x39 AK74 being shelved atm, some people simply have their Jimmies rustled a lot. I'm hoping, that most of this fantasyland mumbo jumbo is purely because "alpher".
