In a real life zombie apocalypse, or any sort of pandemic, if there was a gun that was fed through a magazine, chances are, the magazine would be inside of the gun. I understand the concern players have. They want the ability to operate and kill others with guns, to be extremely difficult. People think that if magazines spawn in guns then you would notice how significantly easy it is to obtain an operational gun. I, along with others, agree that if there is a gun that requires a magazine to fire, then there should be a chance that you can find the gun WITH a mag already inside of it, and the magazine doesn't have to be full, it could have for example 6 rounds out of the 30. In the future they are going to make guns and anything associated with guns EXTREMLEY, EXTREMLEY RARE. Because currently, you can find a million crossbow holosights and pistol flashlights around Chernarus. Crossbow HOLOSIGHTS none the less is not a common thing. Sure it goes to a not so powerful gun, but just because it goes to a weak contraption (not a gun) doesn't mean that they should spawn everywhere. Let's Cut To The Chase.. Since they are going to make guns as rare as they are going to make them, then why not give the player an opportunity to be lucky and find a magazine already inside of a gun? Because sooner or later after people are robbing others while wielding and threating them with nothing more than an axe and are putting arrows in each others skull, instead of having One Extremely Rare Item+ Another Extremely Rare Item = a working gun, they could have an Extremely Rare Item+ a 38% chance to have this item already combined with the first variable = a working gun. Let The Debates.. BEGIN!

Let's say you got killed by blasted bandits. You spawn close to where you die so you go back to where you died and oh noo! they hid your body.. well, naw I think they JUST USED THEIR WIZARD POWERS TO SEND MY BODY TO A PARRELEL UNIVERSE! If you kill someone you know how their body goes into 'ragdoll mode', right? Well when someone dies we should be able to drag their body and hide it in a bush somewhere. We already have in the ragdoll effect, all we have to do is add the ability for a player to move a dead corpse! Because its totally unrealistic; your friend bled out and died in the middle of the Balota airstrip, you go to his corpse, and some little kid is looting it! you confront him and he lies and says "its my friends body". You kill the little squeaker and guard your friends body till he comes to get his stuff in the MIDDLE OF A DEATHZONE! If you could drag the body, you would've took advantage of it and drug your friends corpse up in the trees a good 1200 meters north east. But instead you got your booty shot off in the middle of a stinkin airstrip.. Thoughts?

Hey! We are both from Austin! Aha

So I like loot, plain and simple, if I see loot I like, I'll go crazy, but I HATE server hoppers and I would never do it. I would like to go to the military base near Vybor and wait in a bush and kill people who go to loot (they might be server hoppers) so I can get there loot. Opinions?

So currently there is the pre-apocalypse manufactured crossbow in the game, then there is the improvised bow. I believe that they should add in Pre-apocalypse manufactured bows. Of course these bows would be extremely rare to come across, they would be extremely accurate and deadly to anything below 250 meters. Opinions? And manufactured, compound bows are not made out of wood, The central riser of a compound bow is usually made of aluminum or magnesium, and many are made of the aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum alloy.

It's because these are the guns that they use. Mosins are snipers, M4s are for end of game players, shotguns are for if you are weird or haven't found an m4 yet. It goes on and on and on.

throwing knifes?

Mosins, actually are planned to be much much rarer, but I suppose you are right, at least have curtain types of shotguns and maybe a pistol or something be one of the not-so rare things. But they are planning to make it, so you don't find a gun the first 30 minutes in a game, which right now is the case.

I'm not saying players should be able to actually hit a target from that far, but if they are good enough, I believe it should be possible to shoot far.

I've seen archers shoot a long bow with accuracy up to 200 yards. The furtherest I have seen one fly was something like 430 yards. Bows in reality have no problem going far distances. You just have to aim high, because the longer the arrow is in the air, the more it drops.

Not wooden, hell to the noo! Improvised Bows are what is wooden, The central riser of a compound bow is usually made of aluminum or magnesium, and many are made of the aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum alloy.

Unfortunately (for you) they are adding in an SVD sniper once the loot table is fixed. It's already been confirmed because the SVD mags were found in the code or something. So there will be a sniper in the game, but its going to be (they said) rarer than the Smersh vest times TEN. So you wont see many of em'. ;) Since I knew that players will be driven to using melee weapons and improvised weapons, I've already took the liberty to learning everything there is to know about the bow, its pretty much the only weapon I use besides my axe to ward off zombies. So if you want to have a small advantage over everyone else once guns go "extinct".. then make yourself a bow.

I am a hoarder in DayZ, I don't think there is such thing as "too much food". I also carry around ammo for guns I don't even have, road flares, everything. You never know what you are going to need. Anyways I want to stop that. I want to head to the coast, find a bunch of netting, make a ghillie suit and just use my shirt, pants, and vest to hold supplies. This will be awhile though, because I need to find a High Capacity vest, maybe even a Smersh vest. And a more suitable gun, a Mosin will be fine, but id trade one for a AUG any day. You know how you cant have a backpack with the ghillie suit? that's a commitment I'm willing to take. But now I will be able to carry a military tent. How? you may ask? Easy, I will have enough room in my vest or shirt to put my ghillie suit body piece in, then wear the military tent on my back. I wanted originally to do this on my regular mode character, who has everything. But I prefer hardcore mode, because ill play in 1st person anyways in regular mode but others wont. That's why I love hardcore mode, because you play in first person, and everyone else does too. Do you have a goal for DayZ? Post yours in the comments below!

I like that goal.

Everyone's talking about how hard and 'uneven' the ratio is on finding guns then mags. I hope you realize that sometime in 2015 guns are going to be the rarest thing in game? Even a little pistol. In the near future, you will see players robbing others with nothing more than an axe.

I haven't ever played DayZ on a Wednesday on a day without school, my time zone is Central Time Zone (UTC-06:00), does anyone know when the Maintenance is going to start/end?

What it means is, since you are still in cold weather it says "i am cold" if you are in cold weather and getting cold. Even though you are burning, you are still in cold weather. I don't know, the games in alpha but if your concern is you don't want to freeze to death, you wont. If it says you are burning I think you will stay warm for awhile. ;)

The current state of campfires is terrible. You could have a campfire on an open road and couldn't see it from more than 300 meters away. Of course when they add in better campfires, you will have to choose carefully as to where to put the fire. Maybe have a friend on guard. People seem to think that sitting at a campfire means that you don't have to worry about getting your butt shot off, and that's not the case. If you hide your campfire good enough, it wont mean that you cant be spotted, it just means that someone wont see the light from 1000 meters away. It just ticks me off, you could be running through an open field, and in the trees there could be a group of clumsy, stupid players with a campfire, one side of the fire has trees, the other side is the field you are running on, lets say you are 500 meters away from the camp and you cant see the light when CLEARLY since part of it is sticking out in the field, in real life you would be able to. Now you tell me that its not stupid that you can see a light PERFECTLY and you take a step back, and its completely gone. They should have the light fade away instead of "the lights here.." *step back, "the "lights gone!"

you wont. Because any smart person would correctly hide their fire. But if you have a fire in an open field like a crazy person, then yes you should see it from a kilometer away.

But you see, you would only be able to see the light if there was NOTHING in the way, hence an open field. But whenever they update forests which has already been confirmed, there is going to be WAYYY more brush. But if you choose where to build your fire correctly, no one will see it. Because bushes and trees and such would "mask" the emitting light. notice how the light is masked by the trees? This is what fires have to be like, except you would see them from an exceptional distance, on any side that isn't properly covered.

So I am in a clan, this clan does things to other survivors that I cant even speak of, anyways they have a camp on a soon to be disclosed server, if you are up for It I am getting together a group of people to go through and raid the camp, they have m4s, AKMs, ammo, Mosins, attachments, food, everything. Help me end these peoples cruel savage raids, and you will be rewarded.

I have 107 beans on these forums.. yet my player in DayZ is dying from starvation! How can this be? were my beans stored in a bank account before the apocalypse? Am I just to stoop1b to find them in my jeans? I have 106 cans of beans lying around somewhere.. I demand to know where.. If I cant find these god forsaken beans then I demand a feature be added in to where we can withdraw our beans. Good gravy this is nonesence.. This lovley girl has her beans.. The world demands their own! (edit: and when the hell were cats added in???)

Yes they are. We do not need your false arguments. This is one of the MANY topics, articles, videos, posts about their new engine which was confirmed a longgg time ago. http://www.ibtimes.com/dayz-standalone-updates-new-engine-new-server-more-1615812 What you had just said is like saying "they aren't adding in a V3S" whenever it had already.. clearly been stated that they were going to be added to the game (I'm talking about before the V3S was actually added into experimental)

Load. of double pooey!!!!!!! Think of this.. I'll take it slow for ya.. "Combat... Logging.." again.. "COMBAT... LOGGING" Logging out: to leave, get away from, avoid, something that would happen if you were still in whatever you logged out from. Combat: Whenever two or more people, go against each-other with the outcome of most commonly death. If somebody logs out to get away from, or avoid something, and that something would be combat, then therefore Combat Logging is to log out to avoid the outcome of combat, weather it be if the combat has yet to start, about to start, or has already started.

Value: The regard that something is held to deserve; the importance, worth, or usefulness of something Rarity: a thing that is rare, especially one having particular value as a result of this. In turn, anything that is rare is valuable, because if something is rare, it Always has a value. But nonetheless they are two completely different things, the OP asked for to Value of netting, not the Rarity, even though they have a connection. NexVentor
