Actually before you get your knickers in a twist and throw insults around (again) i was pointing out the fact that the holster has straps that go around.. wait for it.. your back! So if and yes it is a stretch, the bullet hit a strap of the holster on your back it would in fact possibly be ruined. It does not float on your front... get it? Clearly the holster and vests are treated the same for now, i.e cover front and back. I understood you, punkvegita understood me.. you might be the missing link... I should have just said its alpha.. but i thought that might just wind you up. :)

Yeah ammo should be rare enough that you have to really think if you should be firing... we should be finding bullets in ones & twos.. not full 40 rounds magazines.

I'd also like to see.. 'walk like a zoombie'. From a distance, with no pack or weapon this could be a neat trick too. Sneak into a militay base when you know bandits are over looking the area. Go in as a Zed.. come out like Rambo :P

In any high loot location I shut all the doors after i go in and after i leave. Don't both is small villages unless I think i'm not alone there. I also assume everyone else does too, if i enter a military building with the doors shut i assume a man is behind it with a loaded weapon.. it's saved my life once!

Some should be faster than you...anything to make the zombies terrifying gets my vote. Agroing a zombie should be the last thing you do in game, literally! (if you don't have a weapon) Agroing a town full should mean your death 95% of the time no matter how well armed you are...(as a lone wolf)

I don't think anyone is say you actually have to read a book, just having the book gives your character additional skills / abilities.

Big no from me. I don't think NVG should ever be in game. They probably will, but IMO that would be a mistake. Chem lights & flares, yes.. but none of this hi-tech gear should be in Chernarus.

Good idea. Some ideas: Trapping & snaring handbook: To allow catching rabbits etc. Herbal remedies: Make disinfectants from herbs, fever & infection remedies Medical book: Make splits, stitch stab & bullet wounds for faster healing Tracking handbook: Allows you to see where people have walked (within a time period). SAS survival handbook: Turns you into Chuck Norris.. :P

I have noticed any zombie hit removes your 'healthy' status.. but does not make you bleed.

It would be nice if when attaching a long range scope it required 'zeroing' before it was accurate. And therefore your skill at zeroing would be a factor in your long range shot success. All it would require is an option to adjust the elevation and left/right deviation in small/fine increments. When you attach the scope it is given a random 'position' within certain tolerances. You then need to fire some shots and zero the scope. Be a nice touch, with some good side effects. Realism and the element of strategy with regards to when and where you make a test range. Its the kind of immersion I'd love to see in this game.

You do realise the gun holster does not magically float on your chest right? But yes.. the game is still being developed and is far from finished. And the holster is treated the same as a vest.. and will need tweaking. My clothing seems to be impregnable to zoombie hits right now.

I sense a :P

I have a pristine 'universal gun flash light'. That is described as a universal light to attach on a gun. I'm unable to attach it to my pristine M4. Do i need a certain 'something' to attach it to? Or is it not compatible. I've attached a pistol light to my fnx45 with no problem. Thanks for any help.

Ok thanks lads. Never seen one of those in many hours.

I've had the same hardcore character for over 10 days now. Stick to 'officially named servers'. That was advice i saw and have used, never had a problem. As already mentioned.. the hospital roof in Electro is just about the most dangerous place on the map to log off / in at.

I agree.. i'm always friendly. I also have a ballistic helmet in my pack. But i do think the character 'dressing up' game to be one the funest parts of Dyaz! Here is my 'regular' one.. :D

Yes to all but: Cell phones: No working towers/masts. Things like welding, security cameras etc etc would require a portable generator and fuel. Would be cool end game type thing: Get fuel & generator for you base, find some security cameras, alarm, lights etc etc..

Other: Higher server player population, zombie population & re-spawning. These are the core elements of the game. If the game cannot be made to run well with much higher populations of players & zombies the game will be a failure. (to me, and what i want from it.) Everything else is secondary.

Whatever happens it'll be funny.. I suspect it will turn into chaos. Count me in :)

Hardcore or regular?

The only time i killed a player who may have been friendly was at NEAF. I was in a small building outside the air traffic tower and i saw him run past, he climbed the ladder, when he got to the top I called out.. probably a mistake. He did not reply but ran inside, i could see through the window to the stairs inside.. I called again no response, I then saw him run down the stairs.. I fired my mosin and killed him. I was concerned once he was down the stairs i would not know where he was or if he was friendly. It was kind of self defence, i felt bad, and should not have called out. It was 50/50 whether he was just freaked out / scared or would kill me at 1st chance. the airfield is not a place to make contact.

I don't agree. Zeroing a rifle scope is not rocket science. You have two dials. One is marked left & right the other is up and down. Its common sense. Fire a shot.. if it misses to the left you move the dial to the right..etc etc I've owned tin openers that are more complex and confusing!

Oh the irony... I suggest if you want to question if I am making any sense you write something that actually makes some sense. :P But yes i would like to see the dot cross hair removed. But it does not help you shoot someone at 700m... And? Maybe he doesn't know how to shoot a gun, or use a tin opener, or craft a backpack or make a split.. should i continue?

Yeah.. makes sense. But there should be a greater chance an iron sight is accurate when you pick it up, as it is already attached and may already be 'accurate'.

The Arma engine has always made my GPUs run super hot. My whole rig goes from silent to a a hover craft effect playing Arma/Dayz... better that than blown components.
