    What should I keep and what should I drop/trade?

    hum, keep the AK, morphine, and trade everything else for a PSO-1, plastic buttstock and a rail handguard + bipod. you don't really need an amphibia S, it will aggro more zombies, fire axe is the king for silent dézombification. akm/drum mag/PSO-1 is one of the strongest combo in this game : 2 center mass shots on a fully geared guy = kill or unconsious, effective until 400-500m, ridiculous firepower at close range...

    What should I keep and what should I drop/trade?

    small differences, mainly a lower recoil with the AK101 and a little more damage with the AKM. i tried both, good weapons, hard to choose between them.

    Do we really need more towns?

    Awww, my bad, wanted to say oak (google trad power !). oak is the tree that drop acorn right ? it's called "chêne" in my native language and the huge ones can be older than 1000 years. beautifull tree and nice potential addition to the game.

    How much food is too much food?

    when i'm healthy, i usually carry 2 bags of rice and one canteen. most of the time i don't even touch it since you can find food everywhere. on exp, i carry the most food that i can take, mainly rice, milk powder and canned peach. after some days into exp, finding food can be difficult ! so, focus on rice, milk powder and canned peach, 4 slots for food when you are fully energized is enought for a long time.

    yes, i like this big tree idea. i can picture a huge oat on top of a small hill. a nice place to meet your friends ou burry bandits.

    Do we really need more towns?

    i see some room for thoses 5 new town in NW and N. pretty sure the prison is for next exp patch as prisonner uniforms are beeing worked on and leaks of the prison (without texture) have been released a long time ago. well unique locations are a really good news, the ship and novo tower are really interesting places and i love the work they've done on severograd. after these 5 new towns, i'll prefer some work to make existing town more unique rather than more town. ho, and please add some rivers and small homemade wood bridges, it would make the world so much more alive !

    What should I keep and what should I drop/trade?

    according to my own experience, AK (101 and M) are NOT any better than SKS ingame. SKS : - easy to find - doesn't need a mag (this gun is OP because reloading time is too short without clip) - easy to find a PU-scope - very effective at medium range (100-400m) - semi-auto fire easy to keep on target while AKM burst take more time to re-adjust - close quarter quick fire is effective in panic situation AKM : - hard to find (both weapon and magazines) - PSO-1 are super rare - very effective a short range against multiple targets - decently effective a medium range - lots of shots before reloading in most of my engagements, i fire less than 10 shots with both SKS or AKM so carrying 75 rounds in not a major advantage. i would say it's easier to get an sks with pu than an AKM with magazine, and at medium range an SKS with PU wins every time. i can remember a lot of firefight where i had trouble getting a head shot with AKM's iron sight when only some small part of the opponent head are exposed, most of the time i was thinking "dam, that shot would have been easy with a PU scope on a SKS". if you are lucky enought to get your hand on a PSO-1 in good condition, well AKM win. but by the time you'll look for it, an SKS would have been better. regarding effectivness : AKM with PSO-1 > SKS with PU > AKM > SKS regarding rarity : SKS > SKS with PU > AKM > AKM with PSO-1

    What should I keep and what should I drop/trade?

    exact opposite advice. keep the SKS ! your's is ready to fight, fully loaded, you have a scope and a lot of ammo plus it's an awsome gun, powerfull and accurate and it perform well from 0 to 400m drop the AK101, you have low chances to find a magazine for it. a loaded SKS worth 10 chambered AK101. drop the MP5K for the same reason, you have very low chances to find a magazine. you don't need another weapon than the sks as it's a very polyvalent weapon, but if you feel safer with another one, choose between the 1911 and sawed-off IZH. if you had a mosin, 1911 would be a more effective choice for close/medium range. keep the AKM mags as its a source of ammo for your sks and you can still find an AKM (even if for me SKS + PU > AKM alone). don't forget that the rarity of a weapon doesn't make it more effective.

    the new "old" spawn locations are the shit

    game souldn't launch if no mic i detected IMO they fight each other in military area, and so do i. killing a poor guy armed with a chambered .22 or a blaze is not fun when you have an AKM with PSO-1 scope, and looting 2 baked beans on his corpse is pointless.

    Dont Lose Hope

    you had bad luck then. i met dozen of unpredicably nice and friendly people in dayz. once, a guy give me a loaded M4, asking fo nothing in counterpart. once, i gave 1 bandage to a fully geared guy, he offered me his AKM with 30rnd mag to thank me for the help. i met a lot of guys that spotted me on pvp places (airfiels or military base) that could have easily killed me if they wanted but just ask "how are you dude ?" instead. i still remember one special encouter in the "freeze to death" 0.50 built. i was looting a yellow dormitory on the NWAF when i heard footstep. i desperatly tried to take my sks in hand but that glitchy sneaky little rifle refuse to leave my back. a fully geared dude (as i was) enter and as he sees me he yelled "holy shit you scared me !". when i saw him running in i almost immediatly consider myself dead. instead he asked if i was friendly, and because i couldn't putt my gun in hands i answered "i'd better be friendly i guess !". we congratulated each other to have survived that long and trade some ammunitions and food. if i succeded taking my sks in hands at first, i would have killed that nice guy...

    A challenge to whom call themselves Bandits, or even Heros

    you misunderstood what i said (or i have hard time making understandable comment as english is not my native language, my bad then). i tried multiple times and it only worked once. the blabla tip is a good one, i'll give it a try. the problems i encountered so far are : - low geared people don't give a fuck and try to run or axe me. - highly geared players usually turn back aiming their weapons. so you have very few occasion to rob someone in good conditions. a player eating/drinking or looting a corpse, a sniper prone in a tree... and you have to be close to them. so an opportunist robber can be viable, but trying to be a true bandit most of the time is suicide mission from my experiences.

    A challenge to whom call themselves Bandits, or even Heros

    a proper robbery is so dam hard to succed when you are alone. i tried but it worked only once, and thas was because the guy was over scared and playing alone. most of the time, the guy runs. you can decide to kill him or not (killing him is sadly a way better option). if you don't, they'll hide then come back for revenge or TS their friends to help them. either way, your chances of survival decrease singificantly. so for a guy that take long time to respond (they are giving your position to their friend with TS), kill him, find a good sniping spot and await to punish the rescue team. it's sad, but it's a more viable and rewarding (gear wise) solution. stalking + headshot on geared players is 10 times more safe, with the same reward. trying to be a true bandit is cool, but most will give up after 10 fails.
  14. i like this idea ! starvation should makes you a little bit weaker. eating only meat shouldn't be enought to be healthy. eating human meat should be as nutritive as animal meat, but eating meat and carbohydrate rich nutriment such as cereals/rice/canned peach shoul makes you a little bit stronger. Kuru disease is a good idea, but only if the chances to get this disease are low (5%-10% chances ?) or players won't do it. eaten human players should show some mutilations and/or be partially skinned, it would add some horror needed in this game. i can imagine the creepy feeling we could get from seeing a poor bastard skinned on the side of the east coast road. cannibalism will give us some awfull (but unforgetable) experience, i can imagine a group of cannibals taking hostages and force feed thoses peoples with their friends meat

    About base building and base raping.

    hum, the no spawn area is interesting especially for ghosting and hopping, but it's not perfect and i don't think there is a good solution. here is my point of view about it. first thing i have to say : there is no owner in this game he respawn on the coast, like everybody. why do you want him to respawn in the base where his previous character died ? if the user of the base died, well, he's dead so he doesn't have a single word to say about it. yes, with a good sleghammer. it won't vanish as the game aim to be persistant. if someone success to enter the base, he can do whatever he wants inside, loot it and leave or stay there and protect it

    Killing zombies

    it's harder indeed. it seems that they reduced slightly the range of fists so it's harder to hit them in the head. with no lag, killing one zombie with fists is still not difficult, with some desynchr issues, i prefer to run from them until i found a axe or a hoe.

    Low FPS on a very good computer?

    hello ! i play dayz on a 3 years old laptop with a GTX570M. the game run at 70 FPS in the wild and 20-40 in big towns. to get thoses "performances", i set everything to very low, i lower the view distance and view objects and i force the game to use all my CPU power. the game loot pretty bad this way, but it runs very smoothly.

    Status Report - Week of 20 Oct 14

    did i said that dayZ is hard ? did i said that H1Z1 is shit ? no sir ! i made a quick comparison between the two game and i commented that i still favour the DayZ approch. if H1Z1 is not a casualised Dayz, then great, i'll buy both.
  19. Zboub le météor

    Status Report - Week of 20 Oct 14

    H1Z1 is not in competition with dayZ for me. objectives are not really the same. H1Z1 is way more arcade, you'll move faster, less sway, no bullet drop... a beautifull little name above your head to identify who you are. more cartoonish graphics, less vegetation, WAY less survival features and probably an all around PVE experience way more easy than dayZ. on the other hand, H1Z1 will probably perform way better on optimisation and server side, the map will be larger, with more players. huge malls are in, probably a lot more zombies than in dayZ. construction will be bigger and easy to set up. there is a lot of "may be" in my comment, but i think i got the feeling of both games. i'll pick Dayz anyday !!! ps : you'll love the MP 133, totally kick ass shotgun. just wait till wednesday

    i'm so glad it won't !

    New Ammo Type:7.62 tokarev and the tt33 ppsh41 and the c96

    why not if you can find the proper ammunition next to the gun. othewise, it would turn dayz PVP into a big brawl of people axing each other because they can't find ammo fitting their guns. realism and diversity are cool, but devs can't just drop hundred of guns/calibers into the game. it would take years and years of design, animation and sound works and it would be a nightmare to balance (attachements/ammo availability/spawn locations etc...). so no it won't make it into the game, that's not a realistic claim.

    New Ammo Type:7.62 tokarev and the tt33 ppsh41 and the c96

    that makes sense. but remember that one more type of ammunition lower your chances to find the good combo gun+magazine+ammo. currently we have : - .22 LR - .380 ACP - 9mm - 45 ACP - .357 magnum - 5.45*39 confirmed for next exp - 5.56*45 - 7.62*39 - 7.62*51 - 12 gauge i don't know if one more caliber is viable solution :| . but sure tt33 and ppsh-41 would fit this game extremely well.

    I hope the new engine changes these things:

    you sum up the biggest disease of our society : I want everything immediatly ! learning to play an instrument takes hundreds, thousand hours, same goes for sports... but in the end, it's totally worth it. if you want to play dayZ, you have to accept that you will suck at this game for 100 hours or more, because this game is very demanding. it's not just a new FPS, it's a totally unique game. hitting a headshot in dayZ as mutch more meaning in this game than in CS or BF. you protect the gear you accumulated for sometimes 20+ hours and you take away everything this guy gathered in his plathrough, and i'm not even speaking of the adrenalin rush this game gives. most of the key controls are needed and i agree that they are not responsive at all. after more than 300h in dayz i still shout full of rage "putains de contrôles de merde" every hours when it takes 3 click to equip my weapon. desyncr are big issue too, melee hit detection is bullshit... but this game, with all these problems, is still one of the greates games i ever played. try this game for 10 hours, develop your plan to survive, discover new towns, buldings... get over exited the first time you find a fireaxe or a shotgun, panic during your first encourters, get lost in the woods... well, try the dayZ experience without being only focus on the controls. if this game is too demanding for you, then follow closely H1Z1, a more acrade approch of the zombie survival theme.
