Think of the setting as a "what if" scenario...they are not your undead zeds but people infected with a rabies type virus so it's quite plausible unlike other things they thought up for DayZ.

Do you have a power press and the molds to manufacture those parts? If yes go ahead and drop some for me too while you're at it. I doubt there are still many around like a lot of older guns. Many should be scrapped by now, what you find are left overs and weapons stashed away in some depots. http://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/the-liberator-pistol

The only thing stopping him from setting one up expect of course unfinished work is the style of building ( plans, humanity, steps ). I'll try to be persuasive and get back at you when i'm succesful. Server should be running pretty good, the Epoch server has about 60 fps with Linux. Too bad i wasn't there when he made a strain test.

I thought the game was about the constant fear ob beeing raped by a zed primary and beeing KoSed by a player secondary. So far there is no difference between DayZ and ZSB in terms of th setting ( zed, enemy players, war )

ORLY..i would like to see a Cessna with 8 x .50s and missile pods :rolleyes: ...you can't just slap on stuff and think it will work. Military aircraft are reinforced to be able to carry weapons and to withstand the torture they have to go through. Would be awesome...even an "ArmA heli pro" like me has some difficulties getting those up in one piece without breaking something. Shot down a AH with an SVD...poor guy was heading for the same place as me, too bad 3pv was off or else he could have seen me ahead and below :lol: He was heading there high speed and hammered the auto hover, the helo went up and i took aim until he got full control over the heli back.

It's something you can do right now and all the time instead of waiting for them to finish the game without bugs and then maybe add a training ground to shoot weapons. Regardless of the state nobody will stop you from going out into the wilderness and train on your rifle except zeds and KoSers. I'm sure it will be much harder in the future if they make it harder to find weapons and ammo and add roaming zeds in the wilderness and they might still tweak the guns a bit so all the effort you put into mastering a weapon setup was for nothing. The suggestion is very viable imo.

If you made the game like that it would be no fun for the majority...maybe for people like you and me. I play 1.8.x and Epoch atm and i must say i really made me happy when i found my first rifle ( shotgun ) after days of running around in vanilla. Not that i needed it, i only had 8 slugs and 8 pellets for it anyway, but actually finding something like that in days and not minutes makes things special even a .22 like in the SA. That's what people aren't used to...actually going through hardships and appreciating something. The abundance of things especially high powered weapons makes minor things unnecessary.

Is "WE" Mr. ALPHA and the BETA bitches by any chance?

What happens when you were in that situation and didn't "know" the weapon well enough? You go to a deserted place in the woods and shoot some rounds into targets at different ranges, you don't need an extra training ground to train shooting imo. Take it as an immersion measurement as if it was you training in that environment and not a figure you are controlling. If you are too afraid to fire a weapon in game even when zeds can't spawn near you then don't pick one up.

Was already fun in the mod when you knew there was a sniper somewhere...you just threw flares or smoke grenades in that direction...guess what the zeds did.

If they follow you into a house you ran into without thinking about the consequences ( one exit, no weapon )...your fault isn't it?

My best guess would be low demand/usage in general although there seem to be a lot of players whining about the lack of hardcore servers ( enough to fill a couple imo ). In case you are in the EU a buddy was thinking about setting up a hardcore Origins server but he has to finish tweaking the setting of his hardcore Epoch server first, hopefully i can persuade him to remove the safe zones, even wood and cinder are destructible for now. I try to play on hardcore servers only, i finally got some people with the same interest and even the admin who set up the server seems to be happy about this setting.

First time i opened a door on Napf in those new houses the sound it made ( not really the sound rather the fact that it actually made a sound ) scared the shit out of me...

Keep it as it is this way you know you only have to avoid everything between Balota and Elektro...

Cargo ships from China...? If you look at the tag of your clothes i bet most of them say "Made in red dragon land". There are also ships that carry only oil or only cars...so it's not that uncommon.

Not with that CPU bottleneck...you need a bit more MHz imo. It's quite normal that you gain fps when you look up and down because there is really nothing to render in that case... Look at my signature.

I'd like to see a player run around in those and die from exhaustion because he wanted to look cool and wear it all day. And the fov should obviously be limited with that mask ( like with the ACE mask )

How good is an anti stab vest when your opponents mostly have firearms?

Actually yes...but would a buttstock really increase accuracy to that extent? This game seems to be going the CoD way attachment wise...I don't even understand what a CQB stock is supposed to be, it can't be shorter than the original stock, it may be more comfortabe to use but fighting isn't comfortable unless you sit in an armchair in front of a monitor playing a videogame. A CQB buttstock won't influence the accuracy of short and long distance shots in any way like a lose or rattling one would but you could still tighten up the screws on those, a broken bent stocktube won't let the gun cycle.

It's client hardware and server hardware ( server fps mainly ) that kills client performance even on a high end pc.

If you could store a ton of stuff would the worth of your characters life increase? I'm sure it will decrease for a lot of players since you can just grab the next rifle from the stash every time you die. Not that i'm against storing things...it doesn't add to immersion, it's just a good feature in any case. The value of your life would increase by a hundredfold if you were denied access to the server you were currently playing on like it would be a hunger game...having to restart from scratch on another server or wait an hour or day to be able to get to your stash on that particular server would give a player a better feeling of loss.

That buddy i mentioned has a 3 core AMD 3GHz processor and some 56xx? card and has at least 25-30 fps...that rig up there should get at least that much or the player is just too sensitive. Sometimes 40 fps in towns feels like 20 to me.

You should get some good fps on that rig proly 50fps outside and 30fps in towns. Have you tried the startup parameters? If not then go to https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma2:_Startup_Parameters read a bit and put -nosplash -cpucount=4 exthreads=7 in your parameters either in Steam or in the exe depending on what installation you used. I buddy got some extra fps on his AMD older rig when he added the right parameters. If it's still unplayable try another server. I tested one for said buddy and had around 15 fps less proly through a higher view distance and too many scripts slowing the server down...now imagine you only had 30fps max...i could go up to 3500m on the server i'm playing at - tested with the admin.

We have tons of servers with "up your ass starting gear" or gear you can obtain within minutes because the houses seem to spawn them every minute or if you want then just buy them at the Walmart Stary, so i think your suggestion of him playing CoD if he wants starting gear is quite invalid.

I want to play John Kruger sitting on Cherno International Hotel with a railgun sniping bambis 24/7. I don't know if you can really play a role without any kind of backstory...playing a survivor is fine by me.
