why the FUCK would you hoard NV FALs you fucking prick. I hope someone nukes your tent to shit

Looking for the guys who gave us a scare yesterday on Atlanta 60 - i think it was that one. This happened between 2am - 2:45am GMT, in Stary Sobor, around the military camp area and the big cow barn and the rusted warehouse. The server was almost totally dark, we could barely see. So yeah, thanks for the epic fight guys and also thanks for the FN FAL from your mate who decided to stay next to the lit flare >_<. Just so you know, I didn't log or DC in the gunfight, me and my friend (in-game names FrostDMG and David) were making a run from you down towards Novy via the open field, you guys killed my friend (i recon you had NVGs), then you tried to take me down but missed. I ran past the first line of bushes and shrubs and then kept running to the treeline. I waited a good 5 minutes for anyone that wanted to give chance but nobody followed me so I logged - it was pretty late in all honesty. But yeah, thanks for the epicness of that fight :)

First, get pissed off at yourself for losing the kit Secondly, get pissed off at yourself for travelling so many KM to die... Thirdly remember you also had a ghillie suit... Fourthly either take a break or get back in. Tbh depends

I'm not sure if anyone else feels the same way I do about the loot distribution in DayZ, but hear me out... I think that most of the good loot is basically in the North Western part of the map - NWAF, Stary Sobor. Those are just the two places where you can get some of the best loot in the game - not only are they not far away form each other, but also they are almost surrounded by Deer Stands - where as in contrast, on the East side of the map there are much fewer Deer Stands closer to each other. This brings me to another point - apart form Stary and NWAF there are only 3 other towns to which people actually wanna go - Cherno & Electro for PVP and Berezino - people go there for medical supplies and military tents. Apart from those cities, there is basically tens of kilometers of nothingness- yes there are the random Deer Stands and the lucky heli crashes, but in all honesty, it is much more profitable to just camp NWAF with a sniper or silenced gun waiting for people to visit barracks. Basically my main beef with this boils down to the fact that not enough people are exploring the map - most are just farming loot. Oh and before anyone says I haven't mentioned NEAF, it is because that place isn't as reliable as NWAF, spawn much much less loot and of lesser quality. You might see someone there, whereas in NWAF you are GUARANTEED to see at least one person per visit! Does anyone else think this or am I just plain crazy? Please let me know!

Whoa! Ed-e you just summed up my idea perfectly. I also thought it didn't make sense to get ghillie in civvie houses! I also agree how there is a shitload of towns you simply wanna skip or raid only one building. NWAF lootspaen clusterfuck is quite irritating too

Then why worry about it? There is no real positive aspect to removing them. They're pretty hard to get in the first place' date=' and if you remove them, people are just going to replace them with different weapons. Sniper rifles have their niche, just like the M4s and AKs have theirs, and all the other weapons theirs. I would also confidently say, without a doubt, that most people playing intelligently, not fucking around, would never engage people past 300, maybe even 400, meters, it's just not worth it. You risk attracting unwanted attention in the first place, and if you don't have a weapon that can be zeroed, you're not doing anything but taking shots and hoping they land in the right place. [/quote'] Scopes in general would be nice if they were removed. Would require more skill to kill someone. Since it takes only 1-2 hits in order to die, the combat should be more skill based.

Another thing which i forgot to mention is that probably the best way to counter a sniper is to snipe, so basically sniping is encouraged - not saying its a bad thing on its own, just putting it out there

Sniper rifles have their niche, just like the M4s and AKs have theirs, and all the other weapons theirs. I mean, I have an issue encountering people in groups, so should I push for the removal of grouped gameplay because I almost always losing those firefights?

[/quote'] My problem is that the sniper rifle is so vastly superior to the good old M4 or AK in most situations - apart from CQB/large horde pack. Without the range advantage of the sniper, people would have to try to sneak up on each other - for example follow their target from town to town... I duno it would maybe add an aspect to the game that doesn't exit right now

Of course I'm not saying 90% of the player base agrees with me! That's why I made this thread to figure out who thinks along the same lines. I am fully aware that some people can't live without sniping while others simply aren't interested in it.

Though as boring as it gets, he is right. The game has indeed been beaten, as he can pretty much stay alive for infinite number of days, as long as nobody bumps into him...

"Blocking door with barbed wire" - Is so fucking stupid and annoying that if I was a server admin I would insta-ban fuckers that do it. Seriously, there is no need to be a little camp/loot whore. If you have barbed wired a firestation off from everyone else, you DESERVE everyone serverhopping behind you and teabagging you till you bleed out and die you FUCKING NOOB

hmm my friend had that happen to him i think... All his gear was reset, however the stats in the debug console stayed... so yeah random - also he spawned at the coast :/

Bincos and ragefinders especially are pretty rare. A sniper rifle isn't as rare as binocs, but still. It's better than nothing. My friend, binos aren't rare at all! I have yet to find a CZ550, I find 1-3 binos in almost every supermarket I enter. Not even joking they are in plentiful supply. Granted the rangefinder is rare indeed, and the sniper provides a larger zoom, but then again it provides lesser magnification Umm no. Would an M4 which is a backup guy used by a sniper be called a sniper rifle? NO. You know perfectly well what I'm referring to, why can't you just give an opinion about this instead of trying to change the subject

exactly... any nobody that i have seen has used the sniper on zombies yet... there simply isn't any point, its a pure PVP weapon designed just to irritate your tits off. I know there needs to be PVP in the game otherwise it would be boring, but wouldn't it be more interesting and exciting if you at least know that you can't get sniped off the roof of the hospital from 2 km away by some "l33t sniparrZZXXxxx" who doesn't even loot the bodies he just shoots to grief

Does anyone know the actual weapon damage VS player? For example I know that all the snipers are 1 HK to the head, but how much blood does the 7.62 round do comparing to the 5.56? I'm mostly interested in the Semi auto and full auto weapons... The DayZ wikia only says damage vs zombies which is rather useless to me

thanks, but im not sure how that six config browser thingy works :/

not dying for 2 days & getting a ghillesuit for my M14 :D

Wire fences and tank traps SURVIVE server restarts. so just DON'T FUCKING GO TO CHERNO. Why the hell do you wanna go there anyway? Also give us some pics you serverhopping nab

no its not 1.7.2... they said that in a post

what QKSILVR73 said, i think there isn't enough communication between devs and us. They need to tell us these things cause we're gonna freak out :/
