ZomboWTF

The red dot also gets milky when a light source is behind you, though the red dot IS more accurate than the weird crosshair of the holo sight

Now it's paying off for people who never logged out when being shot at, your normal ALT+F4 tactic guys that would lose in any normal fights have hard dayz nowadays, poor little cvnts

ghillies are extremely common once you know they mainly spawn on normal residential spawns i often ran around with a ghillie and not even a hatchet, one time i STARVED while having TWO ghillies i found in rog

If DayZ and WarZ had a baby, i would cut the WarZ out of that little monster, with a spoon

You , dear sir, made my day

The grenade launcher from the Holo is very good against people barricading in an area when you have grenades for it, also good to let zombies run away from you with smoke grenades or blind NVG users with flares The M4A3 has less recoil and a little bit better accuracy, and a flashlight on top of that all in all... i still prefer the M16A4 ACOG :P the m4a1 holo however has much more usability in a lot of situations, and you are not limited to shoot in a straigth line with the grenade launcher If i would see both lying there, it would be the choice wether i have grenades on me or not really... both are good

I found an enfield in cherno when my makarov (which you spawned with in the old versions) was empty, me being cornered in a small house with only one door, the rest of the story is up to your imagination

well, killing for loot is being a bandit, but i guess you could try forcing them to put their weapons down, then taking their stuff, and running away makes more fun and people will give you kudos

A not-shoot-list for bandits? lolwut?^^ ok, i know that bunch of little sh*ts calling themselfes bandits gets on the nerve of any real bandit, but being to organized would end up in the organized bandits being not bandits, only another clan I for myself still try to rob people instead of plainly killing them, and since the admin on my favorite servers ban people for a day when combat-logging, they tend to give me stuff more often than trying to log out or shooting me

Maybe you should try talking to people before shooting them how can someone in the game look at you funny? there aren't any facial expressions Also, you can hide in grass way better with the bandit skin, since there's no backpack rendered :D

How about good admins? Play on private Hive, the admin on my server resets you when you spawn dead because of that bug, you only have to hide your old corpse afterwards, or you're gonna have a problem

Wow, so much wrong with this Sniping actually takes skill, skill to shoot (it's ARMA, not WarZ), skill to place yourself where you won't be seen easily, and having an escape route, also having a team to snipe with is really fun, having to coordinate with your spotter and looter makes you so much more effective than being a solo sniper however, the real sniper shoots ONE target, and then gets the hell out of there, or to the next spot, because you never only look for one spot to snipe something from, and you never know who is in your area hearing where you shoot from (actually real snipers are doing it like this, shoot, then gtfo) the typical cherno or bambi sniper wil just lay at one spot for days, killing off people, and once they could be a threat (since they will know afterwards where he is sniping and will respawn with that knowledge) he will hop servers, which is meta-gaming at it's finest, rinse and repeat the actual shooting from a far away position however still takes skill to shoot, and the OP clearly has that skill, even if he can only keep being alive by using cheap meta-game strategies he just missed the point of the game completely, he could just as well play duckhunt simulator 2010 or the shooting range from ARMA2:OA

Actually, when you have 10k blood or lesss, a hit from a 7.62 weapon might instakill you without a headshot: Most 8000 damage shots make you drop unconsciou because of the shock, this and heavy bleeding makes it VERY possible to die from one of those, given that you are unconcious and a little damaged or forget to bandage One time i was downed from full blood to 20 by one M24 shot, i first became unconcious because of the shot, and bled down to about 3000 blood, stood up, and got unconcious instantly again, this time with a really long timer, still bleeding when i got up and bandaged after that, my blood was at about 400 and when the bandaging animation was done it was at 20, closest to death i ever was i think edit: Removing the L85 is good, yes, but the ghillie needs to be made much rarer for a little balance again imho

would be an actual achievement to survive a day of dayZ only rhyming... Drop your gun or i will shoot and after that get all your loot! Dont point that gun at me my sun or soon you will be zombie dung just a step more near to me and bullets in your head shall b... *Shake your beer was killed"

ever hid in a bush? you know in real life which parts of your body are covered, in dayz, its a quite bad guess with only first person, also, you cant exactly see where the gun meets the wall, or your feet when laying down also there still is the thing with the fish vision needed to actually meet the human eyes capabilities it both has its up and downs, you cant denie that

this^ when someone would actually show me a high populated first-person server in europe, i'd try it, but i grew familiar with third person pretty much

i dont want any helping stuff, no side-screen indicators of zombies and animals, no CH, no freaking player tags, nothing of that, except for third person reason is, you cant have the spatial awareness of third person without using the fish eye numpad - key or looking frantically around you with alt also you dont know at all where your bodyparts are, or wether your gun sticks around the corner or not, and it gives you a huge disadvantage when hiding in tall grass this is all only possible with third person, the only bad thing is people looking around corners and the immersion gets a little hit by it, but not only camping bandits can use the third person cam, you can also look if anyone is where you want to go without being in danger, giving BOTH sides the same advantage, using it to talk to people and make them lower their gun or drop it is a very nice tactic to meet up with people who would otherwise just shoot you straight away

i dont think giving people choices is bad, keeping some settings up to the server owner is just normal and the best way to go you can argue in both ways anyway, it is true you have a feeling for where your bodyparts are in real life so seeing your whole body in third person is realistically and gives you a deeper immersion as to who you are and what you do first person however is the only way to stop people looking around corners without actually showing themselfes, and makes the immersion even more than in third person, and aiming is easier, but at the same time is a pain when walking long or wanting to be sure you are hidden, and the only viable option to start trading or talking with people without being in utmost danger, also you cant see the whole spectrum of the capability of a human eye without frog vision or three monitors i hope the choice will still be with the server owners wether third or first person, makes the most sense and will keep both sides happy, though i guess third person will have more players all the time, since it is allready a hardcore game without first person only

I remember the start of this mod, and until people started DC'ing like little cunts, banditry was REAL banditry, people would point a gun at a guy and say "Give me your weapon/food/backpack or i will shoot you" However people did start DC'ing and bandits learned the only viable to learn from that: Shoot the people if you want stuff from them Now, since survivors learned then that bandits shoot on sight, they just started shooting back, and since nowhere, on any server, people rewarded friendly behavior, and instead just keep backstabbing and trolling friendlies, since they are put into one boat with "noobs", dayZ became a Free-for-all basically it was made even worse when people found out how to farm good gear, instead of fixing loot spawn timers, you can get a lootpile every 5 minutes with the right tactic, and get full equipped in no time, and dont even get me started on duping and scripting... since it was now well known how to get good gear within minutes of playtime, people now think "Oh shit, i have good gear! when i meet someone with worse gear i have to shoot him, or he will shoot me out of greed!" and at the same time, those people think when meeting a player with something they could not aquire through farming: "Oh, man! that Mk48 is a really sweet weapon, as soon as that guy turns his back on me he is sure to have a bullet in his back!" Call it a devils spiral, call it humanity, but thats how it happened, at it wasn't like that from the very beginning I sometimes feel the need not to be outright agressive, and if the chance occurs, i talk with people over voice chat to give them a chance to comply and not get shot by me, however the chances for that are few, and if they don't comply they're gonna get shot for sure, because douches ALWAYS shoot you in the back, just out of fun Call me a carebear, but even if its only me behaving like that, people i once met friendly are slowly beginning to do similar stuff, and on our private hive you can meet someone and not get shot at the same moment one out of 5 times, and rising peace out EDIT: They should indeed make the spawns way more random, so that you also can get scrap loot only in barracks, and that spawns aren't recovering that fast if you can farm spots so it spawns every five minutes, i'ts no big deal finding something with a 0.1% chance to spawn IF, however, spawns would be fixed to only give loot once an hour, stuff would be actually rare again, and people also might come to the idea of trading stuff again, other then running through cherno until they find their tenth enfield that day to go berserk and die again

it should make a difference, its a difference if you aim at a person below you, then the drop is decreased, when aiming above yo, the drop of the bullet is increased, because you have diferent vertical and horizontal velocity portions of course, the horizontal length is more then the vertical, but when aiming on a sniper on a roof in cherno, it is quite important since i normally snipe with a dmr, i can remember two easy numbers for the full zoom: 2 mildots player heigth = 800 meters, that is the lowest mildot on the scope to aim with at 600 meters, its two mildots to aim higher, 400 is the center, and beyond is a joke to account zeroing, just aim for center of mass with the m24, its even easier, since there is no zoom choice, and when a target is two mildots high, or a half prone, i zero for 800, 3 mildots/0.6-0.7 600 etc., easy numbers to remember just guesstimating, but until now it worked quite well sniping guys from cherno roofs

Namalsk, allthough it is a little small, i like that surviving is a challenge again

Just lie as good as you can "Hey buddy, drop your gun, theres a M107 pointed right on you at the moment, dont turn around or i will shoot" Most of the time people comply, giving you time for escape or stealing their weapon

Since the temperature icon is just bugged out and you can only see when your are allready freezing to death when it's to late, i say bring the debug display back

The maximum at 1 km is a server-side setting that can be changed on private hives but to balance for people not capable of really high visibility ranges, they keep it low, and beyond 1km you cant shoot stuff unless with an as50 or m107, which are allready really powerfull

well, since zombies are mostly in cities, and a ghillie makes you way more visible in citys than it does conceal you, the ghilie suit should make your visibility higher on concrete and lower on grass and in bushes though since the ghillie suit is allready a very good tool and a life saver some times, i dont think it needs a buff at all
