Lt. Aldo Raine

I'm perfectly fine with using it. Actually one of my preferred weapons. Just giving a suggestion m8 no need to try starting stuff.

Try out the sporter you'll get your kicks out of the under-powered hunk of shit.

WWII weaponry. I like the idea but a lot of different calibers and some might not fit. I don't think that U.S. sent surplus weapons to Russia after the war. I think they went to other countries but the other ones, maybe. MP40 and Kar 98K would be a stretch but the rest sound plausible.

I've survived many headshots. From an AKM, M4, an Magnum. My cousin shot me with all and I just lived off of luck I had no helmets or anything lol just thought I would share. What would be cool is surviving an arrow to the face with it sticking out for the rest of your characters life.

Sadly from what I've heard is that belts like this have clipping issues and they are trying to stay away from it. I hope it has changed but try to find one of the posts I made about utility vests and read a reply written on it,

Well friend you're a genius such a great feature that should be added that I haven't even thought of. I'm down for this 100%.

I like all of your thinking.

Listen here jackasss I said GOOD IDEAS meaning I DON'T NEED TO INPUT, there's nothing for me to say that already isn't there. Fucking cocksucker and the Blasphemi is my suggestion so stick that up your ass.

Hell let's get the Blasphemi up in here! Lol not really good ideas on vehicles though.

First off not a dump, Chernobyl was actually a nice place to be at when it was fully functional before the incident. Anyways it's abandoned, all the vegetation is grown up and everything is abandoned just like everything is in the map already. Yeah not vines slithering up buildings, no not yet but someday hopefully. You forget they're busy working on what they have to make the game better and will add stuff like vegetation growing up buildings later especially with all the new renders and such.

I too want to bow to have some work done to it, if you want check out my posts about it and tell me what you think.

Well because at this point in time, it doesn't work at all and functions as a decorative piece for one fist. It is necessary to say it like that to get peoples attention, sure got your attention with all of them caps didn't it?

THE BOW FIX IT

You're all over the place with your ideas and the title is misleading. First off no books will stay I use them to start fires, leave notes, and also whenever I'm waiting for my food to cook or roam around to my stand, I will read and it's a very cool part of the game. Second off your idea of food is nice but realistically if you consider how much ground you cover in-game (you don't notice because endless stamina) then you would know running from Elektro to Cherno (almost 5km) would leave you either super exhausted or hungrier/thirstier than when you began. Last of all, your ideas of smelling substances and objects taking up less room are plausible and I'm sure will be implemented, BUT keep in mind that this game is probably 75-150 updates before Beta so they have a long way to go and I'm sure they will implement something related to what you discussed.

So after watching a video on YouTube about the new masks available to the people of GTA V (for heists) I realized the Devs could do similar things which would be awesome. So if you go and watch videos about the new masks you see a lot of plastic masks that look like they're made for Halloween costumes (such as a mime mask, or a mannequin mask), then you see balaclavas, yes we already have them just not varied in style. Add three hole balaclavas (instead of just the one big eye hole, people do breath and a balaclava can block the ability to breath.) Then once you have the two styles of balaclava, why not re-skin some of the into colors or patterns in game? Such as TTSKO balaclava, or any of the hunter, and I especially would like to see DPM camo balaclava, then the vest would actually have something to match other than the boonie. And yes the big one I've been wanting to talk about T-SHIRT FACE MASKS! Anybody with 30 seconds can turn your average Joe t-shirt into a mask. Simply tie it a certain way and boom you have a mask (research it yourself and then transform into the ninja you've always wanted to be.) Then they go into the bandanna face masks (we already have, although they have a lot more colors; obviously because it's a more developed game.) Then they go into tape and bags as a mask, that I'm iffy about. Tape would definitely be a bad idea because it's uncomfortable to put on and take off. Then bags, in GTA V they used your average brown bag that you get whenever you order a sammich from your favorite corner store. Would get wet and fall apart in DayZ and serves no real good purpose, but then I remember the burlap, cutting holes in it would allow you to look like a person off of the movie The Strangers. All this may seem like a lot to hope for but I have faith that all of this will eventually come along and be implemented and I just thought I would share my ideas here to my fellow DayZ players!

AH YES THANK YOU! Not, I am well aware of the search function and other peoples inputs. I started MY TOPIC because I feel as if I have better information and ideas that could actually be implemented into DayZ. Thank you again though for telling me something I already know. Arrivederci

I agree with all your ideas to the expansion of archery but really the improvised ashwood bow is better than it should be for range, I say forget the improvised bow and add longbows, and compound bows. Both bows should have around a 60lb draw and the longbow should be less accurate until soft perks are added because in reality a longbow isn't easy to hold back if you're inexperienced. Therefore if you held it back you would become less accurate as the time continued which is realistic. Also they need to remove the current right, right, left Cha Cha slide bull sway and add it in just like the rifle because it's super silly that they have different sway patterns which makes the rifles a better choice. I want to be able to use an English Longbow to hunt game and players alike. Stealthy without taking 12 years to aim my shot because of the sway. Also with a longbow and compound, especially when soft perks are added, your character should become more familiar allowing him/her to draw arrows quicker, steady their aim more, move with it at progressing speeds (depending on how often they use the bow.), and allow them to launch arrows further with less effort (I do realize it's all about the weight of the draw on a bow which allows it to project further but the character should be more likely to shoot longer distances with more ease and accuracy after awhile.) Then to add a suggestion to the bow improvements, you should be able to make the bow more silent. Using this technique and using the in game Zmijovka Cap for the yarn/fabric for it. Then also if you listen whenever he draws back the bow, you hear the arrow sliding back and forth, this could be solved by duct taping the riser so that it's sleek and it's two smooth surfaces touching not creating much friction and sound. Would also help when hunting if you couldn't get the shot off too quick and your character starts to become unsteady. That's just my thoughts and ideas though I hope you like them.

It is for balancing purposes, not only that but they don't have the ability or any other category to place the Smersh in therefore you would have to wait until (if they add it) layering comes in because of right now the Smersh is a vest just like the plate carrier. I wanna see this though it looks awesome and would be a great touch.

I can imagine myself running into battle screaming "BROTHER!!!!" Like Hulk Hogan dragging my friends away while they're bleeding, sure hope this is implemented with the new mechanics (forgot what it's called but it's supposed to be BIG, I remember it because they said it will enable movement while aiming the bow which I'm stoked for!)

So get this, it doesn't seem like we are getting a change to the bow swaying anytime soon or as I suspect, ever. So why not make it better for the people who use archery like me in DayZ? Such as a lot of weapons have easy ways to reload and such, Magnum has the speedloader. Shotgun and Blaze have snaploaders. Mosin? 5 round clip. Anything from an AKM to a PM-73 RAK (if they were easy to obtain/obtainable whatsoever) have a way to reload if you have a mag in your inventory and the one in your gun is empty. Even the crossbow has a almost instant reload option with the bolt quiver. Why can't it be used for an Improvised Ashwood Bow? It's kind of silly and there should also be hip quivers or back quivers so whenever this new bow reload animation is released, he's actually grabbing the arrow from a source not from thin air. Also get rid of the magical fairy spark that I've seen with the new reload animation, please. Second off I want more bows to come to DayZ, such as a maple Long Bow or something of the sort would be nice to see. Maybe one that can't fit into a bag because of its size. And also it would be more powerful than the Improvised bow because it hasn't been made with simple rope and stick, it would actually be found within houses like other weapons and such already crafted (hopefully professionally much like the other weapons you find naturally occuring within the game.) Also compound bows, much easier to shoot than a traditional longbow/recurve bow because all of the force is taken off by the wheels/cam making it an easier draw which if you didn't have to hold back the force of the draw as much, the sway could be controlled a lot more.. Also, if tweaked properly the cam can make an arrow shoot further and more accurate (at a risk of making the bow harder to draw/ it could snap if not tweaked properly.) This would make bows more desirable in game simply due to the fact that it would be a simplified weapon to use in maybe a combat scenario, nobody wants that long sway with the Improvised bow that can make the difference between life or death, if they miss because the sway is not furthest left, then they have to wait and ready another arrow meaning their opponent could have already shot them or could be getting ready to attack. Still in addition to bows, take-down bows, easily to break down and section for more simplified storage. Meaning you could find it in chunks to combine together to form the whole part which would make it more rare but would also help even out the playing fields of every weapon. This take-down bow could be collapsed into a 8 vertical slot holder until it is fully extended out again. Last but not least, different arrow heads, different shaft and feather colors as well. Broad head vs. Bodkins for heads. Maybe explosive tip arrows or flaming arrows (grenade duct taped to composite arrow, or rags dipped in fuel lit tied to composite arrow either to be lit or hit an open flame source and make a bigger flame.) Different colored arrows instead of the white composite arrows. I like that their easy to spot when you misfire but I also want to have my own signature arrow. Maybe spray paint the arrows to your preferable color (black, green, camo, etc.) And also the ability to spray paint your feathers which could also have a signature look such as the same colors already listed. IF you feel I missed anything or made a mistake please reply just keep in mind its almost 3 in the morning here.

Great idea, this would make cargo pants actually more usable because of right now, I vomit a little at how they sag all the way down to the bottom of my boots. Plus it would be a great addition to make the clothes look more military thus, you have more clothing options. Instead of people looking for TTSKO (since it has this) they could just find the bootband and transform their cargos into military style pants. Also could help make boots more waterproof, such as Gorka pants being water resistance, you add the bootband and no water can enter the pants, or the boot so it's a win, win waterproofing sytem. I would love to see this in game and hope the consider it soon!

Good idea I love it but then you would have people who hid under beds in houses with good loot and whenever someone came in they would get blasted. And would it work as a scroll animation or a player go prone sort of thing and you do it yourself? I see it as a good idea even with some of the negatives that people can think of, I doubt that it will be implemented. We can only hope though right?

Take back what I said, I misinterpreted the video.

Wikipedia isn't a good resource because anybody can edit it, but I do agree I know a trained paramedic who carries around a first aid kit in his truck and it has hydrogen peroxide. Design choice? That's silly in a bad way. Freedom of the people doode. (what I mean is more realism for players.)

I too play the stealthy way and I love it so much. I also have used the crossbow but found the lack of damage sickening, the reload animation makes me want to vomit.. Add a 160 lb draw to one and let us tear ass. And also I want an English Longbow in game, able to penetrate everything currently in game except for the plate carrier vest (if we're talking realistically here."
