Zboub le météor

i forgot about this beast, but it will be so rare that you might not use it very often. i see it being rarer than the SVD and only found at russian helicrashes. the VSS might beat every weapons ingame so far in every circonstances except 400+ meter engagements. its light, supressed, use very powerfull subsonic bullets, 10 (maybe mor) rounds that can be fired semi-auto (i don't think the non-AS val version can go full auto)... scary weapon for sure.

great sights indeed, still have a thing for the blaze sights though, minimal yet effective. i'll look foreward for weapon balistics in the near future, it might have a huge effect since shooting a .22 at long distance should be quite different than shooting a .308 win or a 7.62*54. sporter with scope should not be a viable option at long range (even medium range maybe), the 7.62*39 should drop faster than a .308 win making the CR527 not so good at long range either. the true winners and best options for civilian long range weapon should be the blaze and winchester (really hope the IZH 18 will get some love and attention too). in skilled hands, a blaze should compete with the holy SVD when it comes to thoughtfull hunt (players or animals, your call) while the SVD will stand on top for electro mayhem with his 10 bullet semi-auto mode. how is the .308 win damage ? i have yet to kill someone with this caliber, since the 7.62*54 is a one hit uncouncious, the .308 win shpuld not be far behind

winchester with the new scope ! mia miam !

yes, that scope will change our firearm choice big time ! supressed sporter with scope sound great too ! i can imagine that with the low recoil, we can try to spam the head quite fast even at distance. i hope that the upcoming IZH-18 can take a scope too, one powerfull cartridge, nice zoom = big damage ! otherwise this weapon will be dumped 9 out fo 10 times.

i often found LRS in 3 story buildings with the blue door and schools, in addition to the places mentionned before. try severograd, that's my town when i need a LRS, you'll have a good chance to find one there ;) ps : i hope the IZH18 will take a scope too

it's not exactly needed... but, to be honest, i died a few times form unkwnown reasons and i would have liked to know if it was from a bug or an amazing sniper headshot from far away while i was running. i ended with a "wait, what ????", not a sound, nothing, just that black screen, i pressed escape and waited, but nobody looted my body.

i'm sure your idea will make it's way into a mod. but i personnaly hate this system. randomness in dayz encounter is a huge part in my dayz enjoyment.

i'll ask a refund the next time a see a movie and i don't like it :D . YOUR dayz will most certainly exist when modding will be supported, or try arma 3 ;)

the solution for 0.55 is quite easy, most server works and getting food/water/weapons is fairly easy. so if you find nothing (i mean no clothes, no tools, no melee, no ammo) from you spawn point to the middle of the map, change server and don't comeback, the respawn is broken and you'll find nothing. its not worth spending 80% of your time picking apple to gain enought energy to reach the next town, it will be empty too. y mistake was keeping on trying to survive and gear up on a broken server, as i joined 3-4 other serves, i felt like christmas as i found the starting gear and sometimes even more on the coast. places to visit : toilets, bathroom (according to dayz map, it doesnt look like a bathroom to me ^^), jeeps wreck, medium cabins, police cars, bus stops, even green mirradors around military bases (found 4 cans, 1 tuna, 1 bag of rice and a jacket in ONE ! good luck and give up on broken servers ;)

that make sense :)

i'm quite sure brian's facepalm was not directed to you ;) i understand your concern about the game direction, and the actual sillyness of some players (i encountered players with that deadly dress and broomstick combo too), but i think you just need a break off the standalone. i'm quite sure dev's and you share the same goal for the standalone experience, they gives evidence of it almost every weeks. the game will become way harder, people will have to go further inland and silly broomstick deathmatch fighters won't be able to last long enought to bother "serious" players. it's an exciting time for standalone players, the gameplay is about to change drasticly (new loot distribution, respawn/despawn, advanced crafting and survival features, diseases and more "hardcore" gameplay, decrease of the quantity of non perishable food...), experimental shows it more and more lately. so wait a few weeks, maybe a month or two and comeback ;)

hello ! very good fisrt shot and overall nice timing.

i got this kind of thing a couple times. last time, the server restarted just when i was going to loot a heli crash, which spawned an ACOG, a RV1 and a coupled stanag... this is dayz...

happenned to me today to,i was eating a can of peaches and got aggroed by a zombie. for some reason, the cancel action would not work, so i took about 6-7 punches before being able to take my axe out. i had luck because none of my gear was damaged. since i carry a plate vest, non of my stuff have been damaged. hum, discretion is a good point, but i remembrer getting shot with a mosin while running in full pristine military gear (TTSKO jacket, SPOSN backpack, UK assault vest, ballistic helmet...), my screen went quite grey, but i didn't even bleed. that was a decisive factor, i could take my time not thinking about when to rags up and i finally could flank my opponent. pristine clothes offer a better resistance to cold and, better protection (assaul vest and backpacks can absorb a significant amount of damage) and gets your items a little bit more protected from zombies hits. i'm actually in full tan gear (m65 jacket, boonie hat, beige gloves, beige pants, beige comba boots, gaz mask), it offer a surprisingly good camouflage and pair so well with the plate carrier. sometimes, fashion can meet camouflage and protection :D

on full pop servers, cherno and elektro are the places to be if you want some pvp. it a bad idea to PVP there if you are a lonewolf, you'll find large crews and relentless aggressive bambie waves. on low pop servers, pvp are located on military bases and NWAF. people go there to gear up and compulsive looter go there to find the last part of their beloved tacticool weapons. most of the kills i take there are high reward with little risk, compulsive looters are bad at PVP, gearing up players don't hide for long time and are easy to spot. private shard are more hard to read, you never know what to expect and where people will be. you can only know that after a restart, camping near a military base is always a good idea to take out running in or running out players.

that could be interesting. womans benefit from a smaller profile and a lowest caloric consumtion and a better pain resistance, with a restriction on the carry weight and strenght. men would have higher energetic needs, lower pain resistance, higher carry weight and strenght. but as evil minion says, it would be a hell to balance.

hello ! as you are new to this game, i can give you a big advice : don't spoil yourself too mutch. don't look at DayZ map ! i loved the "lost" feeling i had when i just started the game and the exitement discovering a new town. explore the map by yourself, you'll be so happy when you'll find military bases, airfields and other interesting locations. thoses feeling vanish as soon as you open dayz map. don't look at items databases and spawn locations, suprise is always more fun. when you'll be around 100+ hours into dayz, you should have lost that "new game" feeling, and that should be the right time to learn more about locations, spawns, craft by looking at dayz tutorials. on last advice, try half full servers. you'll find people, get that adrenalin rush that get you hooked to dayZ. trigger happy or not, finding people in dayz is alway interesting. so enjoy your noob time on this game ;)

thue that, never run into a group of people alone, if there is 3 friendly guy, the fourth will just kill you, they will ask "WHY" and he will say "WHY NOT ?", then they will laught and run away, i've been there too :lol: so today i tried a private shard, the septic falcon server. i started in svetlo, geared up pretty easily with basic things : backpack, mosin + PU + ammo and a lot of peaches (i love peaches :) ) then runned to Karmanovka to look at the V3S spawn location. with a immense amount of luck, i found a truck there and decided to raid the west. on my way, i decided to stop briefly at the truck reparing station of smirnovo. i was hopping to find a UK assault vest/bullet proof vest but sadly nothing interesting there. i got back in my truck and drived a few meters when i hear "yeah !". as i was on a private shard, i told myself : "mehhh, why not try to be friendly today ?" so i stop my truck and as i was getting out, i took a shotgun shot form an unknown direction (i play on 1st person servers). i tried to run away, but i was shot a second time, breaking my legs. the guy runned into me, thinking i was dead. i shot his face off with my mosin. ho revenge, sweet reevenge :P . so i looted his body and crawled in direction of the neares bush to craft a splint. at that moment, i heard footsteps... i turn around, and see a geared guy running into me. sadly, i have ma axe in hands as i almost reached the bush. one shot and "you are dead". well, it was not the good day to be friendly i guess :D. mistakes made : - beeing friendly - not having crafted splint for emergency situation - looted the body too soon (for my defense, i hoped he had morhpine and his body as sleeping in direction of novo, so i was a that moment or never ^^) then i respawned in berezino, headed west right away, found another truck and headed to the west, then the server restarted. i lost my truck but founda nice ak 101 and the associated mag in the military base near vybor, a high capacity vest and a m65 jacket in a heli crash in less than an hour. i like to think i was blessed for having tried to be friendly :) . so be carefull, i might not be frindly tomorrow :P

well, i agree that shotguns are really good in urban combat. but in urban combat, a lot of things also happen though windows in the 2-3 story buildings, and i'll guarantee you'll regret to not have a longhorn or mosin+LRS to take some piece of head at 60m-120m distance. MP-133 + longhorn, that what i call a good combo ;) , as well as the mosin + sawed-off or magnum.

usually, i don't get killed by hoppers as they don't move for a while (the famous please wait i think). most of the time i run into people logging in, immobile. so i shot then in the face and get their gear. by the way, they are not always hopper i think, i've had server crash or restart when looting dangerous area, logging in back to find myself as a freshspawn, probably killed by someone who might said "eat that fucking hopper", who know... a guy that can move just after logging in must be logging in for the very first time of the day (or had changed IP between two sessions), so it might not be a hopper and that can be deadly in a situation where you think you have cleared a building.

engraved 1911 are not rare from my experience, i'm not sure it's more rare than the non-engraved one. the 1911 magazine is the most easily found actually, you have good chances to find one in police buldings, i even found some in piano houses. half of my last playthrough, the engraved 1911 was my side weapon (one hit zombie killer and very silent with silencer).

it's their own server, but there are rules... they break thoses rules, and benefit from it at the depends of the other players. as explained before : thoses servers are used to farm loot without being looted with random player, then the owners joins a public server with their AKM/drum mag/PSO and spray players that aquired their gear the right way, taking risks and time for it. those servers owner have to be forced to respect the rules. maybe one character per server is the solution.... that would not have been needed if people wouldn't have abused the system. hopping/ghosting/combat log/server loot farmers... so many bad habits to destroy :(

never fired this weapon in PVP situation in about 500h of gameplay... for the reason you mentionned above but more specifically because the magazine is too hard to find. i think this rifle will be viable in a close future. devs are going in that direction. some improvements i can see to restore balance between these weapons (even if balance is not needed, we are not playing CS:GO) : - mosin will not take a LRS anymore in a few updates, so it will be PU or nothing, reducing the effectiveness of the mosin to 400-500m. i heard that mosin might still be able to take the LRS but with a special rail adapter. - real 1337 sniping will be bound to weapons like SVD and winchester, but i can see those weapons be really rare (SVD at russian heli crash, winchester at civilian weapon spawn but really rare too). - CR527 will accept the new hunting scope we saw in leaked files, making it usable in sniping conditions (still hope the 7.62*39 will be hard to control at long range because of his curvy trajectory). i hope it will make it usable from 0 to 800m. but with the curvy trajectory you'll have to be good at range calculation to hit target far away. - CR 527 need to spawn some times with magazine. - SKS need to stop spawning everywhere, make it military spawn only, no more sks in the little yellow and blue log house. this weapon is too common an OP, no mag, good at short/medium range, powerfull... i only drop a SKS for an m4 with attachements or a mosin with LRS if i have a backup weapon. with these changes, i can see skilled players using the CR527 as an easy to get sniper rifle. noobs should not be able to use it with ease after 300m. ps : jeeps wreck are a wonderfull source of 7.62*39 rounds in civilians area ;)

no, just no. learn where to loot the things you need, when you'll have 200-400h of gameplay, you'll be able to gear up in 1h, even on raided servers.
