Heh so you survived gunshot to the head, because of the ballistic helmet and you whine that you fell into coma. Without that helmet you would be dead, so coma is actually improvement. Me and 3 of my buddies encountered sniper, who managed to headshot 2 of our guys. Both survived in coma, so after we disposed of the sniper, we fixed them with saline bag and continued on. I guess if you are lonewolf, ballistic helmet does not help you that much, but in group it is valuable. But yeah, we had to give saline bag to the lads to fix them.

I'm glad you enjoyed these kills!

Put Mosin at your back, take M4 into your hands. Once your buddies log back, give Mosin or M4 to the guy with sawed-off. That thing is shit past 5 meters anyway.

I don't consider myself KOS player, but sometimes I just feel the urge inside me. Just like 2 days ago, I was on hill overlooking that beached ship north of Berezino. There was a guy at the deck, he had some basic gear and Mosin. I could not resist and I had to snipe him with my scoped mosin. I missed some shots when he was on the deck, he went inside the ship but was very careless and continued looting. He exposed himself in window and I wasted him. Anyway I never trick people by sweet talking them and then killing them. That, in my book, is very low. Also I often help fresh spawn by giving him some extra cans or water bottles, so I guess I'm not that bad.

Do you mean, that the light remained there, even when the person holding flashlight logged off? I freaked out few times seeing column of light, but nobody around and could not find the flashlight on the ground either.

The only thing that should bother you with gun accuracy is, if the bullet does not fly where you aim with iron sights. That "crosshair" thing should be probably removed totally since if you hipfire, you should guess where you aim and not use imaginary dot.

Have to agree with this. With M4 in good condition, no matter what handguard or buttstock, you should be able to hit people at 300 - 500m if you fire single shot and hold your breath. Also pistols need to be more accurate at their appropriate close range. Really hate when I take time to shoot and bullets just go wild as they please. Zombie was charging me, he was at like 10 meters from me, I aimed magnum at it's belly and BAM, it was headshot!? I really liked gun handling in Arma 2 / DayZ mod a lot more. Let's hope this is just because SA being alpha :). Still would be nice if devs stated, that gun accuracy is now poo and that they will fine tune it later.

Yes please paragraphs are needed (I've read it). Personally I think weapon analysis are kinda moot, when Rocket himself said, that guns have unrealistic/wrong attributes so I guess their behavior will change a lot. Guns definitely will need big overhaul since now they shoot pretty randomly most of the time. I've played Red Orchestra 2 recently and I love how guns behave there. Full auto weapons kick like a mule, bolt action is very precise, with LMG you need to go prone and deploy bipod... So with PU score, mosin is more accurate then with hunting optics? Gosh I would hate, if weapon accuracy is based on scopes, that would make zero sense.

Man, many other people (me included) have wife, little kid and job :-). Anyway if you meet such friendly dudes, TAKE THEIR STEAM ACCOUNT and befriend them on steam. This way if any of you get killed, you can meet in next life. This game is steam only, so they will have steam account. Plus lets take in account, that the risc of dying make game more exciting. Imagine their adrenaline and horror seeing you dropping dead to the ground, franticly taking cover and looking for the shooter. Without such moments, the DayZ would be half the adrenaline ride it is.

i really don't care much since I trust Rocket, that any future console port would not mean dumbed down PC game. So PC first, then once it's done (or nearly done) let them have additional funds by making console port.

Surely for some mediocre hunting, the SKS with optics would not be that bad. It fits the theme, it will be great addition to the game, better then any .50 cal would ever be! And I ignore 5,56x45 when we are talking about russian weapons :). That's ok man, I'm not pr0 sniper, but I just want SKS ! SKS and AK's, that's pure russian stuff when you ask me. Now when I think about it, even good 'ol AKM with PSO scope would be mighty fine.

Personally I look with suspicion at players wearing masks. They do not fit the post-soviet country at all, and in reality, I'd never wear them. Only piece of clothing, that would mean bandit to me, would be either ski masks or balaclavas, or scarf wrapped around face. Hopefully they will add them to game later.

If you can slap hunting optic on this badboy, there will be some crazy sniping going on! It east AK47/AKM round 7,62x39, shoots semi-auto, should have decent accuracy....once in game, that might become many people's gun of choice...plus it fits the theme of post-Soviet country perfectly.

I'm starting to think that they might have reduced the overal number of items that spawn. Maybe to place more zombies, or improve server performance? I'm just speculating but these towns yield a lot less, I mean A LOT less, than they used to and I'm not talking about weapons. I looted untouched Veresnik military base, got just 2 mags for M4, saw 2-3 backpacks, 2 gas masks and helmets, and thats pretty much all. I then proceeded to loot Vybor, again the total amount of loot was like 1/3 of what it used to be. Then I got lucky and found shotgun in the house with piano! And magnum in office/school top floor, that places is almost better than barracks now :). So all in all, i'm ok with barracks having less loot, but I kinda dislike more scarce loot in general. But yeah, alfa and stuff :). btw once DayZ SA is atleast in beta, then I'm all for military grade weapons to be very rare, but then I hope folks could arm themself with crossbows, some 9mm pistols, hunting rifles and shotguns. Would be boring without weapons.

Personally I love the idea of walkie talkies! Wish they had range of atleast 2 - 3 km though. It would great and realistic tool for communications in groups. If you have more then say 4-5 people on TS, it is becoming mess anyway. With walkies, you could split those lads into 2 groups, assing radio guy with walkies to each group and they would coordinate. It's my new goal to find two of these babies and test them! p.s. vent stands for ventrillo which is alternative to teamspeak or mumble etc. edit: I see that other good folks feel the same way! Hooray for radios! They could event implement military radio, that kind you have to carry on back and that would ofc have far better range.

5/10 if this is troll thread, 0/10 if ment seriously.... Also you could have helped us immensely if you used "search" function and put your ideas into one of the many "KOS fix" threads.

I kinda wished the ravers got him...

Gosh these japs are clearly evil! Pitty they sucked at english it seemed.

Sorry but no. Even friendly players might like camo / olive clothing to hide from pesky snipers.

Yes, yes, you speak the truth dear Sir! Give me my Vz.58 and I'd be happy. Plus ofcourse AK's , SKS, AN-94 and all the usual Russian goodies that needs to be put in DayZ SA. skip to 0:50 to see how this chick handles her vz58, it's easy and it's sexy :-D. That alone is reason enough to have it in game hehe.

Hunting shotgun should have noticeable better range then revolver. Plus you can load slugs into shotgun making it even better at range. So where's your magnum now? Still good at like 50 meters max in usual fight. To clear things out, I'd like having both long shotgun and revolver.

Lol dude, you can get that sh*t back in pretty quickly, so why are you so mad? Don't you realise that Alfa is not ment to be played normally but rather tested? So it means we all will experience character wipes and all sorts of nastiness, before we get to atleast beta phase. Oh boy, some of you dudes really have no clue....

I see some sexy cool new items! Me gusta!

Oh come on, it's not like they can not fix it in no time. Plus there are a lot bigger fish to fry, then mess with ammo boxes. Edit: I hope you guys filed bug report for it.

Vehicles definitely belong to the DayZ, no questions about it ! Also I believe the situation will be different then in mod. Parts more scarce and limited fuel in those gas containers. Plus lets not forget that cars draw attention as they are loud, they have limited trunk space and are hard to hide & keep. Cars might be also sorts of "end game" for some folks, or just generally goal to aim for. Without cars game would be less fun.
