M4/AK101 at Heli Spawns: Can Anyone Confirm?
jayfkay (DayZ) replied to Skoalcom's topic in General Discussion
Its hard to balance because of its "allrounder" capacities and strength, but the recoil is just way too high. Its not balanced, its completely useless outside of tap firing. Reduce the recoil once again and lower the dispersion to make it inaccurate past anywhere between 150-300m, there you go. Now you have a balanced gun. -
M4/AK101 at Heli Spawns: Can Anyone Confirm?
jayfkay (DayZ) replied to Skoalcom's topic in General Discussion
Tbh M4s should be heli exclusive and they should spawn there at more than a 0.00000001% rate. Barracks should only spawn augs and umps. Ak101s should be russian heli spawns, too, but far more common than m4 and svd. AKM can be deleted altogether. -
No. Dayz is not reallife. You can easily get out even when the only door is pointing towards the ground. The game will teleport you next to the vehicle. Like I said above.

Thats not how dayz works :D in fact, when I flipped a truck, I would always get out on the side that is on the ground - because you would fall down from the upwards side and probably break your legs/die. When you get out on the side thats on the ground, you just end up being right next to the truck, all good.

Buttstock & Handguards : Type / Quality and performance
jayfkay (DayZ) replied to hitt0r's topic in New Player Discussion
All attachments have minor influence on dispersion. Generally the dispersion is already pretty low as is for most guns, so it wont matter much. I'd rather go for looks. Exception: CQB Buttstock which improves turn speed of m4 greatly. That said, best setup for AKs: Plastic handguard + Wooden Buttstock + Silencer best setup for M4s: CQB Butt + MP Handguard/RIS Bipod + RDS RV/ Acog + Silencer -
:O just saw it! Awesome!

Guns at heli crash have at least 1 attachment on it or a mag on it
jayfkay (DayZ) replied to Kiwiyellow5's topic in Suggestions
Alright, maybe its time to shed some light on this. The reason those stop spawning anything is because people attempt to loot cycle and end up dropping like 20 cmags, a couple FNX's, a couple UMPs and all that kinda shit somewhere in a 100m circle around the tent. Since none of these despawn within a short amount of time like shirts etc, the max threshold of the tents has been hit by that. To circumvent this restriction? Place pistols and mags in whatever shirts you find, place smgs in hicap vests. They will despawn shortly after. -
Err uh... ok

sounds cool. right now the incentive is rather low to search for helicopters. for the future this would be great. differently kitted m4s from helis? I like it. -
or just trade with me

I had two, one left. I trade for a black m65 jacket :D

Are vests required for maximized bullet protection?
jayfkay (DayZ) posted a topic in General Discussion
Apart from the fact that a plate carrier or press vest are supposed to protect you from bullets to an extent, but are seemingly completely bugged out - will I take less damage if I wear an assault or hicap or w/e vest over my sweater or not? Seriously considering going just without a vest at the moment. -

jayfkay (DayZ) replied to jayfkay (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
Ye gotta try that vest for sure. I also felt I tanked more damage when I had the riders jacket. My impression is that its the only item that somewhat helps tho. Tried the weakest caliber we had at the time :D the highcap vest was ruined after the first test. You can see everything. Blood, health and shock damage. Gonna go for upper chest shots and press vests versus no press vests next time, distance gonna be 50m or so. Assuming the others arent nearly as thirsty as me for having certainty about this matter, we will probably only test one kind of caliber. -

jayfkay (DayZ) replied to jayfkay (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
Have you guys not watched wobos videos? Long time ago he tested it and the results were that the more items in your clothes = the mroe shock damage you take when being hit. -

jayfkay (DayZ) replied to jayfkay (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
Possibly he got shot into the arms while you got shot into the chest. The p1 is indeed a 2hit kill to the chest or even a onehit kill if upper chest afaik. Me and my mates tried with identical circumstances. With and without hicap vest, the bellyshot did the same damage both times. I will continue testing on the weekend and post my results by then. -
Wow. helped a lot. Thanks dude. I initially thought the "black" leathersack was just a bugged version of the brown one and that there would be a version that looked like the hat in this picture. http://www.dayztv.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/dayz-0-56-black-leather-sack-hat.jpg This is disappointing :( I was looking forward to a fully black leather outfit. Do the other clothes also look wierd?

jayfkay (DayZ) replied to jayfkay (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
Alright, just did a test with some mates on their server. 20 meters, UMP, one shot to the belly. Wore sweater both times. First I was wearing a highcap vest, second try only the sweater. Damage values were exactly identical both times, read out from admin logs. I also did another test with the plate carrier. 5 meter distance only. One shot to the chest with both AUG and FNX did full damage in both cases, no damage reduction. Will try to do more testing this weekend. -
What? :o I used nails and mine turned brown. Can you take a picture?
-
see post above, just to make sure you read it. cant merge it or add quote after it was posted :|

My backpack looks like this, but I want it to look like the hat :/ is yours looking like that too? and I would love to see brown clothing or even black if you can. But the picture illustrates the current problem, the backpack is listed as "black" but its actually brown. the hat is also listed as "black" and is black.
-
Yooo matey, what bark did you use? So far I harvested birks, oaks etc etc and only ever got "BARK". Plain bark. And it did nothing to my leather sack. Adding nails colored my leather sack "black" (its actually brown, not black). On that note, have you managed to color the entire leather clothing set black and can you make a screenshot? Pleeeaaasee? I wanna see it badly.

put it inside a barrel.

I have a couple :D
