    Clips of Ammo Disappearing.

    Reload your clip to a full magazine before you log off, this will save your clip And ammunition is supposed to be scarce, yet currently with the refill glitch everyone has hoards of it.

    M1911 or Revolver?

    M1911 if far quieter and much better at taking out zombies at close range. Revolver is more of a PK weapon.
  3. Yes yes I read that, but if you read my OP that is NOT what I am suggesting Ammo quantity tracking, Is that for all bullets in your inventory/bag/tent or just for each individual clip? Is it safe to assume that If I Log out with my inventory full of partially used mags that they will all combine together? (Combining partially used magazines IS my Idea) Or that they will remain as several individual magazines which hold true to their ammunition quantity?

    Hackers have ruined DayZ

    Story of my lives in DayZ The amount of times my head has been crushed by a damn door....

    Your character switching stances faster.

    Try standing up when holding 10lb rifle and a 30lb backpack (what the player/character movement is designed around) Blah blah blah I just spawned and only have a torch. Sadly this is an Alpha of a mod for Arma II, a game that may aswell be half completed. Player weight and player movement dynamics are not very advanced in this game. P.S. This is not COD, No Drop shoting for you.

    Holsters Can HELP!!!

    But if I lower/Holster/Sholder my weapon then I won't be able to shoot the guy who is now taking advantage of me being unable to shoot back! Kill on sight! I can't trust anyone in this game... The amount of times I have tried to make friends or just leave others alone, only to be shot in the back is TOO DAMN HIGH!

    Do's and Dont's of D/Cing

    If you Alt+F4 just as you die, your body will disappear. And avoiding zombies is not as plain cut as you make it out to be, unless you have a silenced weapon then if you do aggro a zombie and you WILL aggro zombies. Sometimes there is no avoiding it no matter how skilled you are, then you have two choices, run away (in which you risk aggroing MORE zombies) and kill them a distance from where they spawn, or shoot him on the spot, which is going to aggro more zombies no matter what. Depending on your location you will either get away with it relatively easily, as most of your spawned zombies will be out of aggro range, and any that are will die quick enough before they re-spawn. HOWEVER, there are often issues in area's (such as airfields, or barns) where zombies will continuously re-spawn within aggro range. Thus the unlimited numbers of zombies. This also happens at crashed helicopter sights if you attempt to take them out at medium range from the helo. Anything more than 40 meters away from the crash and the zombies will just re-spawn as fast as you can kill them... Yes I can sneak in, avoiding the zombies but its so tedious without a silenced weapon.... As there is a very good chance you will aggro one of them, unless you wish to crawl your way to the crashed helicopter. I for one would like to get in and out with as little trouble and time spent AS POSSIBLE! Spending 40 minutes looting a Heli site.. You may as well sign your death warrant. If you stop zombies from excessively spawning then allot of players will be happy, because stealth is not guaranteed. Fix the Disconnect problems and the excessive zombie spawning and you will make the game a much better place to be.

    L85 needs to be changed

    I found one at a crashed heli site... 10 second slater the sever resets and I lose it. 5 Days later a player spawns INFRONT of me, like 20m away (Feel sorry for his ass). He had an L85 and so I killed him. Next Day, I get killed by a hacker, My buddy picks up my weapon, and it dupes as I take it out of his backpack. Then Carma becomes a bitch as Both the duped and original disappear out of our tents at the next server restart.... All in all, its very use full for spotting other players or zeds around a player at any range. As for shooting people with it, I have had no success in the short time I was in possession of it.

    weaken gun damage

    No... Unless this is just against zombies and PVP it remains as it is currently
  11. DesertRose

    Allow spawn location selection

    Random spawning just makes people just constantly re-spawn until they spawn somewhere near where they want to be. Being able to chose the eastern or southern coast for spawning would be a nice idea. Give players a SMALL choice in the matter, but not so specific that they can spawn in an exact location Spawning throughout the map has been shot sown by rocket.
  12. Finding hunting rifles should be a no-brainier.... Check Deer-stands/Barns and your set! Other sniper rifles are MUCH MUCH MUCH more rare than you think. After numerous attempts at looting the NE Airfield I have NEVER found a sniper rifle there. All the ones I have found have been on dead players or at Heli Crash Sites.... Mostly the latter being 3 DMR's, one M24 and one M107 (out of about 20 crash sites in total) As to removing them from the game? I say no, It adds diversity to the game and makes you think twice about moving through an open are, or looting Stary, the airfields or Heli Crash sites...
  13. Thats.... Nice Yea, I did. This idea is not included.

    Do's and Dont's of D/Cing

    Also what's your opinion on DCing if a hacker or some exploiter shows up? because no matter what I am going to GTFO of there if they are cheating.
  15. I lol'd at OP Another hilarious death
  16. DesertRose

    some weapons replaced by soviet couterparts

    Eh... I like the game the way it is, with a Variety of BOTH Nato/Soviet weaponry.
  17. DesertRose

    We need a jump command.

    ARMA II problem... I doubt rocket could Would add something like this... Perhaps ARMA III
  18. DesertRose

    Do's and Dont's of D/Cing

    If rocket stops Zombies from continuously respawning then I will not D/C to despawn zombies from an area. It is seriously screwed up when I Clear an area of Zeds only for them to re-spawn not 20 seconds later.... I will NEVER D/C from PvP though.
  19. DesertRose

    Perfect way to fix server hopping?

    How to FiX: Make character persist in game for 1 minute after aborting or losing connection. If they wish to disconnect regularly, Make it so the player has to sit through a countdown timer for 1 minute after hitting abort, in a state where they cannot move, aim or shoot. Killing the players character for aborting is too harsh for those who have to disconnect regularly to de-bug their game
  20. A sidearm requires 5 backpack slots. Primary requires 10 Slots If you attempt to place a weapon or any item in your bag when you do not have space for it, it will most likely disappear. This MOD is currently at alpha, meaning your playing it to help find bugs in the game. You will learn what you can and cannot do in the game (Avoiding bugs) Sometimes it's tedious but its worth not losing your stuff, we have all gone through what you have gone through, hell it still happens to the best of us with the greatest of items. My group lost an AS50, M16 Acog and 2 L85A2 ASW's, SVD Camo and TWO silenced M4's because they just suddenly turned into FN FALS or randomly disappeared...

    Coughing, but not losing blood

    http://dayzwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Status_Effects You had a cold and you cured it by lighting a fire But for some reason it gave the symptoms of being infected when you had not contracted the infection.... Perhaps you are immune?

    Axe Murders

    Helping people in this game is bullcrap. Helping others is detrimental to your own survival, may aswell kill them and not have to worry about them axing you in the back Survival attempt #4 Get Winchester, Find blood pack, zombies down me to 4k blood, get another random survivor to give me a blood transfusion. 2 Seconds later I get axed in the back of the head. Survival attempt #7 Walked into Cherno Fire-station with a guy standing over 6 dead survivors with an Axe.... That's when I realised I shall show nobody any mercy... ALL survivors to be considered hostile and killed on sight. Survival attempt #19 Found a Group with TS, finally playing with people I can trust. Survival length increased by 5000%

    Sniper help and avoidance.

    DMR scope is zero'd in for 400 meters. Center of the crosshair is where the shot will land at 400 meters To accurately zero in your targets you have to zoom in the scope (Numpad + or Right Cick) Center is 400 meters, and for every mildot after is zero'd in for an extra 100m 400m = Center 500m = 1 600m = 2 700m = 3 800m = 4
