Yup... dropped several AKMs and AK74s, heck even Mosins and such just for an SKS. I don't mind the fact it's semi, but suppressor and lack of clips...

Just teaming up with randoms i guess... but other than that, they really serve no purpose. Especially the Field Transceivers... why would you want to take that over ANY backpack or no backpack? idk... Would be cool if radios transmitted warnings about the artillery strikes or something... Edit: or if they caught static noise from heli crash sites or something... idk...

Doubt it will be a new map. I think it's just there because they will add artillery strike zones. BUT that "Again nothing" text MIGHT mean that there will be a rescue ship or something? idk...

You sure it's ORB and not UVB? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UVB-76 I hope they will eventually keep updating the lore/"story quests", having the same "quests" if they end up being like that for years would become dull at some point.

No clue what it could be, it's an interesting teaser, but now time for some speculation and stuff... There's artillery sounds in the background, gas masks on the table, empty cans of food, Famas mags?, a new medical syringe thingy, and 2 markers (black and red)? and a bottle (glass? perhaps vodka?) of sorts... Also a field transceiver which I assume will be handy for catching the 4625Khz signal at 1 AM? (till 1:43 AM?) There's 2 texts that say "I AM 143"? Red zones point out to MB Pavlovo and Rify, while there are also black arrows pointing to Zelenogorsk "Again nothing" - pointing out to the sea? A possible location for dank loot? who knows... Tisy has writing "UVB - 76" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UVB-76 You can also see a clear outline of probably radioactive zone? dunno, not sure... Text on bottom says: "4625Khz" which goes back to the UVB thingy at Tisy There's also a ? and 2 arrows connecting NWAF to the Military tents at Severograd Could it have something to do with this? I personally never went there so i've got no clue what's there... maybe just ruins... No idea what "Kowen"(?) or the crossed out text "P.Sily-something(P. Silyia?)" mean... Kinda hyped about 1.14... but let's wait and see. Update: A comment I saw on twitter

Just no. Please no knockback... have you people learned nothing from when they implemented knockback/stagger on pretty much all guns on experimental? 9mm and such shouldn't be anywhere near 2-3 shot to kill, UNLESS we get internal organs.. Maybe make treating gunshot wounds more than just wrapping a bandage? that way getting shot 4 times by 9mm/.45 won't be such a breeze to recover from anymore. Speaking of gunshot wounds... can we please get the option to attach medkits to belts/vests/backpacks maybe? Additionally... fix the rate of fire bug (lot's of faster firing guns like M4 and MP5K and plenty of others shoot too slow), please...

Who wouldn't want more FPS? Question is... is BI willing to implement it?

And what if somebody just happens to play in the opposite timezone, he builds a base, hoards loot, goes offline, and now when the server peak happens nobody can raid that base? Just no. While basebuilding needs more love, overall the game needs more love. Adjustable wall sizes would be a great change, but idk how possible that is on DayZ engine. Overall good suggestions that even I as a nonbasebuilder agree. While this would be great on lesser hardcore servers, I feel like that in vanilla DayZ this has no place. Should be a toggle setting in server config, but I do think there should be a report cheater or suspicious activity button... but knowing online players in any game it would be abused, and it would be hard to know what's a legit report and what's not. But one neat feature would be knowing how a person died: inspecting bodies to see if it was a gun shot, or blood loss from a wound or whatever...

Separate breath stamina that isn't affected by weight, but is affected by running. Add something like that too, and it's pretty good. Also sway while prone should be reduced IMO...

You spawn practically starving... that's the only "difficult" part about this game... don't like it? play on x50 servers or something... Get better clothes, drink from a well, don't sprint, get some food, get some tools... and now you've got literally empty freshie towns with 50 dead corpses in each, and it keeps on repeating all the time because people can't progress because you want it to be even more difficult... join a full unmodded, untweaked community server just after a server wipe and good luck finding food and tools in freshie towns.

Fair enough We all know that, everyone knows that. I blame BI and their management for that. To be fair, there's not much to do as a solo player once you get geared, all I do is wander around trying to look for action, and even that is hard to find oftentimes. What exactly is "broken"? The only broken melee feature as of writing that is melee with guns, first hit always goes through zeds somehow.

Yeah... this is the only game breaking exploit for me. And you can't disable the gamma in settings, people will just crank it up in different ways, from Nvidia tools or AMD tools or something else... NVGs while OP, I feel like they need to be nerfed in some "usability way", they are rare enough, so that's fine. But they also need to fix the light issues in the game (lights going through walls, lights disappearing at a certain distance...)... Blinding effect that people suggest is a nice idea and it should be that way tbh... Along with slightly lower FOV (dark edges, kinda like binoculars) Pistol flashlights and gun flashlights also need a quick toggle that doesn't require a player to stop doing what they are doing and wait for like a second for the animation to play out... they are supposed to be quick and effective ways to react, not make my character do the "using something generic" animation...

I think that Ingame all guns are bugged to 600 RPM or so, something like that, so that doesn't make any difference. Quote from another post regarding the issue:

Yeah, bushes and tree branches have hitboxes. While it is somewhat realistic that a bush could ever so slightly affect a bullets trajectory depending on the thickness of the branch, I feel like it's too RNG for DayZ, and too inconsistent... Trees should have only hitboxes on tree trunks and bigger branches maybe, and bushes shouldn't have any hitboxes at all.

True that... I feel like cars aren't heard from far away enough. I might be wrong tho...

Maybe it's because the server I play on spawned me with rags instead of bandages (they are disinfected unlike rags...), that might be the reason why I struggled.

getting a wound infection isn't easy to avoid tho... zombies sometimes make me bleed in one single hit... when was the last time players made other players bleed with fists? oh that's right... never... if you patch up with an unclean rag you get it in like 10 seconds... and good luck finding the necessary medical supplies in freshie towns, or the "second wave" towns (towns just right after coasts)

I feel like I would just ditch KA74 for SKS... I hate PSO1, the NVG scope is also meh, and it has less damage than 7.62x39 rifles. I would still dare to say that SKS is the king (or equal to KA74), but the KA74 is really close to it... IF somehow SKS could mount a suppressor, that would be an easy win for SKS in my opinion.

Yes removing all the guns has the same effect as removing the improvised bow... The logic of this comment is just... special. as DayzDayzFanboy said, improvised bows don't really make any sense. Handmade bows require craftsmanship, not just ordinary branches and some string. But with that said... having them back in would be nice, but they need to be really limited in range, and adding a modern bow that spawns in like hunting areas would be nice.

Broken leg = you have to crawl or make a split that makes you limp without being able to sprint.

Yeah... it really is too much. I expected it would be fixed when stable arrives, but no... nothing. Because that's not half... it's just "showing" half. Full apple icon =/= actually full on energy. You can go above what the icon is showing.

They never gave a statement about notes from what I know, but DayZ subreddit mod did say that it might have been removed because of that, so there might be some truth to it. All of this is just speculation. They did give an answer about books on twitter. So yeah... it will probably maybe possibly have a chance of being added once the core gameplay loop and major game issues get fixed, but... I wouldn't expect to see them in-game anytime soon, if ever... Apparently DayZ was banned in Australia when it did have it, so they had to take action. https://www.thegamer.com/dayz-unbanned-australia-cannabis-weed/ https://www.thesixthaxis.com/2019/08/23/dayz-cannabis-australia-ban-server/

Apparently people couldn't behave so it get removed... or so the rumors say. Would you like if your game that you just released get a ton of screenshots of racist texts and other insults surfacing on the internet? I wouldn't.

Yep... I dropped Mosins sometimes in favor of an SKS, and on the early 1.12 EXP I killed 2 guys with one short spray (7 bullets) in close range with SKS... IF it's still the same as it was, it's still a beast. Now imagine it having 10 round clips... oh boy... Load 10 normally, the slow way, and have one or more 10 round clips ready for a quick reload. That's bound to be a very strong mid-late game weapon.

Yeah... SKS's were everywhere before, now? not so much. Idk if they changed the rarity of it too, but it's pretty rare.
