I prefer the m14 aimpoint, its accurate much further than youd expect and the logistics of grabbing dmr mags is obvious, however the FAL does hit harder, enough that you can feel a notable difference in pvp, and the iron sights are still very good. Honestly when i come across a tent with both of these stockpiled im always torn, but the m14 wins.

A katana. a usable knife. Improvised pipe bombs /explosions. Molotov cocktails. Mortars. Claymores. edit: G3, Saiga 12k, Rpg-7 1 Tank per server. A minigun yeah i said it. *all guns should jam, misfire and break without maintenence.

Disabling the respawn was actually a bad idea IMO. I know two friends of mine that got trapped under the floor of buildings (one an apt block, the other a grocery store) from a lag/crash scenario, Both times they had to die of thirst to respawn. I know Ive been stuck on walls and stuff and had to vault out hoping that i didnt meet a similair fate more than once.

I'd like to see multiple maps, And you can only server hop if youve found appropriate transportation to travel to a diff server/map.

Classes, talents, perks, More motivation/rewards for group play, and more motivation/rewards for being a souless murderer. more survivalist techniques for, hunting (making dead falls, snares etc, improvising crude weapons) More Improvised and accurate treatment of medical ailments ( Splint bones, deal with concussions, suturing/quarterizing of wounds, Try to fight Z-infection). Barricade doors. An endgame(clan up, garrison airfields permanently, Maybe a guild equivilent of a safehouse.) , A way for cross clan corresponsence and trash talk. GM/Admin events.

losing a ghillee and nv by driving over a washing machine. Check. Falling off a deer stand ladder. Check. Falling off a ladder at the nw airfield. Check. Bleed to death from standing up under a tree. Check. Died to own grenade. Check. Consolation prize, turned too fast near a tent, Broken legs, Unconcious and bled to about 2800... Almost check.

I've been killed by evil ladders more than zeds. Lost NV from hitting a washing machine while driving a pickup. I always come back for more. Some of the best times ive ever had in a game have been when i died during a firefight in this game, I never mind dying to another player, The high stakes is what makes this game a rush, People need to stop crying over gear-- As soon as you spawn in You are destined to die somewhere, somehow, if people can't handle that they should go back to wow and cod. My only complaint is when I die to an invisible guy at point blank range... happend 3-4 times now, or being artilleried.

The rewards for killing other players is glaringly obvious. There is absolutly none for carebearing. To counter this youd need to add something to motivate cooperative play whether it be a "friendly" npc camp that killed bandits on site, or some other dynamic that is less likely to leave you with a bullet in the back of the head after helping others... maybe Make a bandit trading post and a carebear trading post and Let the two fight it out. IMO The end game needs work, The games about survival right? There should be motivation for surviving past day 0, and bandit/carebear play should factor in to that. Until their is an actual end game asides from surviving the nw airfield, ganking other players is the end game.

I went hiking last weekend, made the mistake of letting a friend bring his whiny girlfriend. about an hour into the trek they were both crying about how tired they are, i kept thinking how if this was a dayz situtaion theyd be a liablilty and id have to put them both down.

Observation, This is a survival game that does not reward surviving. I feel there should be certain perks/benefits for lasting longer than day 0, i know there are many issues requiring more immediate attention but I hope that this sort of thing is being considered in the long term. Screw the "last stand" or "martyr" kind of stupidity from cod. But perhaps dayz could offer small perks(small =not game breaking) helping to emphasize certain styles of play. Perhaps a player who has lasted say 5 days can randomly unlock sayyy a minor reduction in food thirst consumption, 10 days a very slight buff to low light vision... that kind of thing. It should be noted that the game would still favor realism, no perk for example would ever let you survive a 50 cal to the head. Or maybe just living a total cumulatiive number of days would unlock new customization options for future lives. I know it would greatly aid replayabilty after a stupid deaths glitched hacked or otherwise. This means that the bonuses would be helpful and desirable but would not unbalance the game. And if they were lost on death, it would not be the end of the world. Maybee these perks could be selectable on spawn? or maybe they'd just be randomly spawed at certain lengths of days survived... heres just a quick thought. Sprint- increased standing run speed. Stealth-decreased zed aggro vis. Fitness- reduced food thrist consumption Endurance- +2000 blood max quick reloads- 25% faster reload. Improvised Web Gear- +3 active slots. extra magazine pouch- +2 pistol mag slots Tactical webbing- +4 bag slots. Night senses- SLIGHTHLY brighter vision at night. Fire Discipline- less sight swaying, reduced pain effect. Durable- 10% damage reduction. Headshots ignore this. Medic: 50% faster bandaging can morphine, *can temporarily splint broken leg? Expeditionary force: spawn with camo outfit. etc etc etc etcetc etcetc etcetc etcetc etcetc etcetc etcetc etcetc etcetc etc I could rifle out small little non game breaking perks all day but im sure any one who reads this could throw their two cents in. A feature like this will add more feelings of progression, It could give the carebears something to shoot for(pun intended), and cause bandits to not just kamakazi into cherno with an enfield.

Id have shot rick with a makarov before the end of the first season.

haha i like that, yeah obviously they couldnt stack. like 1or 2 max but it depends i'd say. i guess the way to combat exploiting would be largely based on how they'd be implemented.

supply drop sites, emergency medical tents, a battle site littered with lootable npc player corpses and flies! ooh the possibilities

hmm good point, perhaps hours lived/played would be a viable subsitution, Hell the perks could be unlocked via any means, zeds killed, headshots, times bandaged etc etc.

im not a fan of this, there would be players just running around rick rolling.

lock a player to a server for 30mins after taking damage, receiving damage, or looting. you cant server hop if youre bound to a specific server. Make a 30 sec logout timer, where a player must remains still and not intereact with anything to log out safely(successful logout unbinds server in 10 mins.), Make DC and alt-f4s stay in place for 3mins after logging but no new zeds will aggro in this "inactive" state(to aid honest disconnects). Do this and all the D/Cers will actually have to play the game or go back to cod.... Now if only we can find a way to castrate the invisible glitchers...

barbed wire REALLY needs a larger hit box to take down. Everytime i get a tool box i make it a point to try to take these obnoxious things down. ive managed to see the option to take it down a whole 2 times so far.

Well its a sandbox game, you make your own adventures. Whether it be trolling others or just surviving.The probem i personally have is i tend to die more to glithces and hacks than anything else. Because life is cheap and you can die from a ladder (i have 3 times now) a feature that could add a lot of life to the game is the idea of unlocking things for future lives (nothing game breaking, no starting guns or anything, but perhaps character skin customizations, or small fps style perks). These could stave off the burnout that comes with dying stupidly, to invisible players, to artlliery strikes etc. another idea could be for deployable items that require more than one player to accomplish, imagine group oriented goals that allow for placing a fully enclosed bunker, or a .50 cal gun emplacement. as more of these features are implemented, people will gravitate toward making adventures to accomplish them.

ive died to several invisible players in close quarters(Thye like to taunt in direct first), been artilleried in stary sobor, and my personal favorite... killed by a church collapse. in this vid, im in the starry tents..... i liked that character....

It seems to be something with their los in daylight, havent had a prblem at night. guess theyre actually seeing better during the day.

Theres a profound difference between "OMG I DIE TO HAKKZORS I WANTS MY LEWTS BACK. I IS ENTITLED CAUS I RUNZ AROUND FOR HALF HOUR." and "This feature is non functioning, or questionably not working as intended, This system has a high exploitability and needs adjustments." Unfortunatlly many posters are of the first kind, And they are unable to understand the latter. Support threads that have merit, and dont feed the 12 year old trolls,they'll soon get bored and go back to cod.

the only way to fix this is to bind a character to a specific server for a number of minutes(20-30mins?) after any kind of interaction has been made (looting, damaging, taking damage etc). Its a simple way to destroy the cheese that is coward DCers and loot server hoppers.

dont feel that bad. my buddy and i spent about 4 hours getting tires and fuel for a crappy little van 2-3nights ago. finally we got it working, and went joyriding. Literally 3 mins into being on the road the driver hit a washing machine in the middle of the road. the car exploded and we both died... I lost a ghillie...

this is geniuine wisdom right here.
