    Arma update nerfed revolver?

    Affects me as well. Revolver, 3-4 rounds to kill a zombie. Even dropped it and picked it up, as well as trade magazines with my friend to see if it affected him (it did not, his revolver 1-hit zombies). I updated from Steam this morning, so maybe that is the problem. Until something it done, or an official statement comes out, I'm switching to an M9SD. If I have to take 3 rounds to kill a zombie, I'll do it silently and with more rounds per mag.

    More low tech, soviet weapons

    Let's see here. Mauser 98k Mosin–Nagant RPK/ RPD Simonov SKS Tokarev TT-33 These have my support. Really, there are other russian weapons in ArmA2, I don't know why they didn't add them in. Maybe they will in the future?
  3. I didn't claim to be a professional, nor am I. But linking your own source is nice as I can do this, " In the presence of pain and the other disorders for which morphine is indicated, a combination of psychological and physiological factors tend to prevent true addiction from developing, although physical dependence and tolerance will develop with protracted opioid therapy." In other words, if you use in when you NEED it, no addiction. If you use it when you DON'T NEED it, addiction is very possible. Continued use, either because the pain doesn't go away and now the body requires it, or because you kept using it when the pain went away, you can become addicted. Tolerance is always possible with any drug to some degree. ALT+F4ing is an exploit which will be fixed in the future. Arguing that people can do that is pointless, as others hack. Should we build the game around the knowledge that people WILL use exploits and hacks to their advantage? No... This mod is a Sandbox Survival Mod for a military sim game, plus zombies. You should expect PvP, and due to it being a Sandbox mod you should expect different playstyles to be equally allowed within the boundries of the game (note: Hacking is outside those boundries). PvP exclusively is how some people want to play. I say let them. Just like how others avoid PvP at all costs. Also, Sanity meters have been asked for many, many, many times. Any search of such can find dozens of threads, all of which went nowhere. That means there is little to no support from the Dev team, and that such a thing will not be implemented unless they completely change their ideas for this mod. Part of that is in my SIG. I'm telling you to investigate and learn to read. Anyhow, who said my character ingame doesn't get 10 hours of sleep? And from what I can hear, my character is already a little messed up. Twigs cracking that aren't there. Gates openning. Noises in the wind. He is already showing signs of stress. But you are obviously a professional on the matter, so arguing with your education from the great Wikipedia University is pointless.

    Cigarettes!

    You're right, my use of, "Literally" was inappropriate. But my side of the family has temper issues, and although my sister wouldn't die from not smoking, the rest of us are in fear for our lives when the 3rd hour starts to roll by...

    Illegal weapon(s)?

    Check the DayZ wiki and see if you can find it, but I'm pretty sure (thinking the name you gave was a spelling error) it's legit.

    M12 SPR

    Pretend NATO tried to stop the outbreak when the Czech forces fell, but NATO lost logistical supplies and scattered from the odd way the zombies attack. Also, there was a historical convoy going through and happened to dump about 12 boxes of old western weapons on the beach, which were used by survivors prior to your arrival. Easy.

    Can I pick your brains?

    You wouldn't hear the ladder sometimes. Varies from person to person, based on how they use it. Some people know to only slowly move and remain silent. Second, it could have been lag. Them, you, the server whatever. Those pistol rounds could have hit you, then taken a long time to load up. That guy could have fired during his Desync. On your screen, he was outside not moving, on his he ran in, shot you and put you out of your misery. Desync ends and you die. Third, you don't have to move on the stairs. Anything could have happened, from a leg sticking out of the wall, giving him a target, to you looking in the wrong direction and pushing yourself off the wall with your gun (try it with trees, you move yourself by looking at objects that are too close) and broke your leg on the wall. Funky, I know. If you died from a headshot, you wouldn't hear the round being fired. Odd I know, but technically you are dead when the sound hits you, so you don't hear it when you were alive. And last, people can shoot you when you can't see them. Elbows, Feet, even the side of your body (in first person, totally different area in 3rd, which is your lower body) can stick out without you being able to see past an object. Sucks, in the end it could have just been a hacker, but the chances of that are pretty slim. Just chalk it up to lag or a bug,

    Suggestion: add Child model as player

    And Fallout 3... Damn Bethesda. Those little punks MUST DIE. Sadly, I have to wait a few years for them to grow up... Or Fallout 4, if they don't carry the legacy of advancing the story by many, many years,

    Suggestion: add Child model as player

    People that like to play as young children on video games always creep me out...

    Safe Area

    Stopping snipers just means you give them alternate means to kill you. They'd use grenades. No, the only safe areas are the ones YOU and other groups make. No area in this mod will be made into a safe zone. Oh, and people are scammed in real life, so a safe trading option is out of the question.

    Few Suggestions

    It would be easier to say what I don't like than what I do. I don't like the Sanity Meter by a different name, "Crazy" and "Loneliness". I don't like the allergies. I suffer from them in real life, sure, but I don't see a reason for them ingame. Plus, staying around what is causing your allergies does not get rid of them, but actually makes them WORSE. You could suffer a severe reaction from a minor allergen by staying near it for too long. Or eating it... I don't like the fatigue idea, as it seems too harsh. I think the inventory system is in place because our characters can't carry all that much anyhow. I mean, a Rifle takes up 10 slots. That means you can only carry 3 on you at most, with little else. Sure, they would be difficult to carrying from their shape and how you'd carry them, but the weight would hardly be an issue. I guess you could take it to the extreme, with multiple filled jerry cans and large rifles, with the biggest backpack, but then we could argue that the inventory slots per item need tweaking. I mean, you can carry an engine... But the rest of the ideas are good, or a good start. And the formatted list was very nice compared to the usually cluster of 1 super paragraph you generally see.

    Zombie Kills ..

    With how glitchy the zombies are based on their speed, making them only die to headshots would be crazy. They'd ONLY BE KILLABLE INDOORS! Also, as said, these are not the traditional undead rotting corpses that walk, but infected crazy people. They are still alive. And like living people, a few well placed rounds really messes up their day.

    I would like the gamme increase to be removed

    That trick doesn't help when the moon isn't out, map stays pitch black and adjusting the settings just makes it pitch grey. And what happens if people can't play without needing to adjust gamma? Too bad so sad? Yes, I have met people that need to turn up the brightness or adjust gamma to see in games, and you can easily see this when you watch some youtube videos as their brightness ingame is fine for them, but on your computer it blinds you. Plus, they did recently nerf the gamma max.

    ghillie and camo suits affect zombies

    What if the zombies see movement and have weak listening skills? Wearing grass doesn't matter when they head for you cause you moved or made noise. Zombies attack smoke grenades and cars, even if they don't look like people. Think about it. Unlike bandits, they aren't looking for the shark-finlike backpacks, black hats or gun. They are looking for movement.

    Zombie Speed

    I personally think zombies should move only slightly faster than players. At this point in time, they seem to be able to run at 75%-100% faster than us. Infact, from my experience with other older games from the early 2000s, running speed causes many of the pathing issues, issues we see in this mod. By that I mean zig-zaging, phasing through walls, etc. But if the devs decrease their speed, they'll need to increase the zombie's health. And even then, I think the zombies should run a little faster than players, but only 10-15%. I think they are waiting to get zombies to attack while moving, and so the increased super-sprinting comes through as the only way a zombie might ever have a chance at hitting a running player, even if it is rare.

    Zombie Spawn Suggestions

    Expanding the area would just let players adjust the range they look for targets. Plus, it would add more zombies to the server, as say a 300m range is a lot more zombies when you walk into a town. Oh, and visible range is usually 1000 meters. I can see Electro from 800 meters in many directions, so zombies would always be in that town with so many players on the coast. If people thought 800 zombies lagged up servers, imagine having over 1000. (Note: Check out how much servers have to reset, and see how many usually hit 600+ zombies. They are related, even if they are not the only factor). This won't fix anything, just cause more issues.

    I would like to see Bathroom Mechanics

    Okay, just a quick search with the search function and I find: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/41589-having-to-go-to-the-bathroom/page__hl__bathroom http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/26563-shitpiss-system/page__hl__bathroom http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/15999-using-the-bathroom/page__hl__bathroom That's using, "bathroom" in the Suggestions Forum, on those are on the 1st page.

    Cigarettes!

    My sister has been smoking since she was 12. She literally can't go 4 hours without a smoke. She goes through 2 packs a day. One of my friends, and next door neighbor is 20. He has tried to quit many times, but smoking since he was 14 has let it sink the hooks in. My parents smoked, my mother is dead now. My Dad still smokes. They both tried to quit many times. I have brothers that are smokers, and other relatives. I live in an area that has a MAJORITY of smokers. I can tell you, compared to nonsmokers, they cough A LOT more. They have a smell about them, and you can easily tell where they have been due to the smell of burned cigs. Your account says you are 19, so I'm basing this on that information. When did you start? How many did you usually smoke a day? Many people are in denial about their addiction, and going even short periods of time cause them to become very aggitated and can even cause them to roll through temper issues like the tide. As a kid, I watched these symptoms rear their heads over and over, and when offered the chance to smoke I turned it down. There was literally 1 reason to smoke. Society. Social groups form around cigs. I'm not going to go into that, as this is not the place. But at 19, I doubt you smoked for very long, and in real life the effects of smoking are not instant. They come with time, and although you can quit early and not experience a majority of them (or any) many don't quit soon enough. To be blunt, your youth probably allowed you to quit easily. The body adapts to changes at younger ages, and heals most damages caused. But those that smoked for decades are easily attached to smoking like others are to eating. It is something they couldn't imagine giving up, to the point that it is a defining part of their character. A major weakness. Smoking is a flaw people choose, and I for one see it for what it is.

    I would like to see Bathroom Mechanics

    1. Search Function. 2. If I use the bathroom in real life, and that takes time from me using the game, why should my ingame character also have to go to the bathroom? That'd be double the time gone. Like I have to sleep in real life, why should I have to sleep ingame? Similar argument. I know you didn't ask for sleep, but it is a similar argument. There just isn't a reason for it. This isn't "SimZ". Although... Maybe there should be?

    thermal = op

    Someone's server has half the players using these things as well as high powered, high tier rifles? DEAR GOD! Tell me what server! I want to get in there and start killing people for that SUPER AWESOME gear! Seriously, though, what server? I'll freaking suicide on these guys until I get a lucky kill, then loot and scoot before they mount my head on their truck.

    Combat Logging & Cheap Shots in DayZ

    The Lee Enfield packs a punch, sure. But with it comes many problems. 1. Limited Visual range with built-in iron sights. Hitting a target at ranges over 400 meters is very difficult, and a moving target is nigh improbable. 2. Sound. It has to be one of the top three loudest weapons in the game, and that means it calls zombies. 3. Rate of fire. Sure, 1 round kills, but what do you do if you miss? Or if there are 3+ targets? Firing it to kill zombies is a stupid plan, as it attracts MORE zombies. It IS easy to find, but think of that as a way to balance the gun. A common weapon available to everyone that can combat modern and powerful weapons, such as M107s, FN Fals and other .308 (7.62x51) firearms. It doesn't have the room clearing abilities that come with the AKM. And other weapons have a faster rate of fire, so they help with multiple targets, and are more forgiving. Even with that, there are silent weapons, such as the MP5SD6 or Bizon. Each weapon fills a role, and the Lee Enfield is a great 1-hit wonder, or support weapon. And with the combat logging, remember this: The Devs are working on it.

    200k players in the last 24 hours!

    And trees and rabbits...
  25. This. Don't want tags? Don't play on servers with them enabled. I don't like them, and many of friends my REFUSE to play on servers with them. So much so, to the point that we do a 'tag check' when we spawn in.
