I believe Arma 3 has this as we seen in some vids. Not sure if this could be implemented to standalone or not. Anyway not a bad idea although it was posted already maybe except lens wipe :). Btw I would add also weapon jamming! Would make some fights damn more intense heh.

Lets atleast try it for few days before we start QQ about it ok? Stuff will be added and some stuff will be removed, thats the way of alpha. EDIT:would love to know how this cosmetic change will work with ghillie suit, that covers all your body and even backpack....

This is what happens when next update is delayed!!!

Dude thanks!! I totally missed that one and actually it now makes sense, that Rocket is kinda off the grid and that the patch is taking so long. Can't wait for the patch even more, if done right it would promote both bandits and samaritans! Rocket, you have been forgiven for taking so long with this patch :D (although I feel that small quick hotfix to remove graph.glitches would have been better).

Even that Arma2 got its bugs I believe these guys deserve their money. Besides its some 6 EUR or such right? Nothing a guy would go bankrupt over.

Next time please feel free to make some effort and check wikipedia http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/Weapons with complete list of legal weapons...

Im there with you, people who enjoy this extra douchebaggery are morons in my book and no matter that this is "just" a game. Id rather be shot to my back (happened many times) then killed by some dbag who acted friendly,gave transfusion and other stuff,talked to me...all of this only to kill me minutes later. Dunno,it does not seem like banditry but more like sadism or some kind of mental liability.

I dont think you can compare sniper to assault rifle. Anyway DMR is pretty powerfull with its big mag, semiauto and ability to be used with NVG's. I like it a bit more then overused .50 Cal rifles.

Angel is crying because bad people play this game :-(

I wanted to write something negative then I've realized this is bandit forum (silently crawling away....)

I got such error when I was trying to play Arma 2 OA multiplayer and had DayZ installed too. Seems that renaming DayZ folder and making sure you start Arma 2 with clean exe (without -mod=@DayZ ) might help. Atleast I was able to play campaign which previously did not work.

If thats true then its great...but they definitelly should add some animation to that action so that backpack owner have a chance to catch the thief.

I think they should add some animation when you are rummaging through someone else's backpack. And if he moves away more then lets say 2 meters, this action would be canceled. Btw Im glad that OP did not receive only standing ovation for being dick. He should have posted it in dbag...err bandit section :D

Everyone must have realised, that this is not the best loot, but hacked shit. How could you have any joy of stuff that some halfwit hacker spawned in game? What if you have found nuclear bomb? Would you bless your luck and detonate it? btw I was not yet the victim of Thunderdome,but thanks for warning.

I think it would promote skill more if we had only CZ550 and M24 as sniper rifles in DayZ, but yea thats just me I guess. Anyway no hate towards OP, vid just not very entertaining to watch although I understand that being the sniper, it was kinda fun.

I was about to write that its nice to "see" some girls playing DayZ, but after LeOverlord randy answer, I do not dare to anymore.

This works for my friend, but Im stuck on loading screen....Im bewildered.

Thanks for your post, it had some good info. Based on what you've written, we would need to have AK74 to be more devastating againts the Zeds then right? Since these do not wear any kind of body armor. But sadly it is the opposite. Also shotgun I believe would be devastating againts the unarmored body of our average zombie. I've read that Arma 2 engine can set which model has body armor and which dont. I seem to recall some of the devs written that we should try shooting some civilians with .45 and then some players and see the difference. Pitty that this did not convert to the DayZ though since both Zeds and players are much more resistant to 9mm, .45 and 5,45 as well :-(.

This might be a tad offtopic,but I think that audible range should be increased for human players. If someone shoots .50 cal I sure as hell would hear it over 500m or maybe more (also depending on surrounding, less in woods, more in open terrain). Regarding Zeds I think they should hear well, but maybe not run directly to you, but more like to general area where shot was taken. I mean if they do not see you and you shoot, they should not run directly to you,but rather somewhere nearby. As it is,they are able to pinpoint your location purely based on sound of the shooting. Also their spawning should be tweaked...its crazy now that you can get several waves of Zeds even when you are nearby lonely barn in the woods. It would make sense to have zombie hordes in Cherno/elektro,but not near 3 house village in the middle of nowhere or from gas station or such. I kinda dislike these endless waves each 30 seconds or so as we have it now. Not very realistic.

I would love to see some update on 1.7.2.5 but the topic is still locked and without any update. I so hoped this patch would be out yesterday but no luck. Today also does not look too promising and as we know, no patches are released on friday as not to mess weekends playing/testing. Guess we might have to wait till next week or downgrade to 1.7.2.3 meanwhile and suffer stationary Zeds but play without graphical glitches.

That I know but maybe we can agree on the fact, that no game can be 100% realistic, since it is a game. Hence I am ok with Lee Enfield nerf, but pistol nerf seemed too much (again my opinion). I think it would be best if Zeds got health buff rather then weapons getting nerf but yea, it was part of Arma 2 1.62 patch so it was not Rocket's work. On the other hand he has to do something about it I guess.

Well MP5 is now basically like Glock17 but with 30 bullets, faster rate of fire and crappier ironsights. Seems that they have nerfed all 9mm weapons to do the same damage of 889 instead of old 1389. That is why I have suggested that all 9mm weapons should go to pistol slot...who in their mind would take primary with the same damage as pistol? Anyway I wish they would undo the nerf of pistols and maybe just leave Lee Enfield toned down, since it takes 2 shots to kill now which seems probably ok,since Lee Enfield is rifle that you will find first so often. And I know it has quite high caliber but still, its game and not 100% remake of reality.

So far most of my successfull cooperation with strangers were near spawn areas (cherno,elektro etc). Most of them were unarmed, some had an axe and I had gun of some sorts, so maybe some of their friendliness was forced by the fear of their own death. But still it was atleast some cooperation...up north I basically never encounter friendly player. I think that up north friendly players either avoid you, or mostly they are not friendly and just shoot you. I lost count of how many times up there in north I have died without even seing my killer :huh: . What saddened me most was that time where I encountered 2 players near deerstand. They did not see me and I decided to let them go. Bad luck was that some 10 minutes laters these dudes found me on outskirts of Novy Sobor and shoot me to death without second doubt. Now such shit makes friendly players like me pissed off and less likely to be friendly. disclaimer: There was that time that I shot one dude to back, because I wanted his dirtbike (his friendl Alt+f4 few moments later). That was an act of banditry, but it was atleast motivated by the need to have their dirtbike,so there was atleast some purpose in that attack.

If the vehicles can stay safely outside the map for whole 24 hours, then its ridicilously too much. 1 hour max should be enough for anybody even if they flew a chopper and did some circles that took them outside the map for a while.

In theory its nice and encouraging to the cooperation. But in reality peeps will do what they do and continue to kill other folks. Just the other day I was in a barn, foreigner ran in, I talked to him, said I dont want to shoot him. He proceeded towards me (I was on the top floor of barn) so I thought I would ran off but I fell from the stairs and broke my leg. I told him that I could have shot him with my enfield so that he should stay cool. Just as I was applying morphine he came to me and hit me with the axe. Luckily I managed to shot him with enfield (that was after the nerf), he survived, I fell to the coma. He most likely was a noob,because he did not finish me. Instead he bandaged and probably eat something and by that time I managed to wake up and finish him off with 2nd enfield round. I survived with approx 1700 of blood and only because he forgot to finish me. Anyway I tried to be friendly, I could have given him some food but he tried to murder me instead. Its just that some people treat other folks like dumb NPC's that are in game only for them to murder and steal their sheit.
