CHOSENMARINE

Yes! They should be a side arm, and I hope there is greater variety of melee weapons in the future! :)

Because civilian guns like basic shotguns and rifles would be faaaar more common then high end military weaponry. There already are to many military rifles in the game, they're to common. If you consider the economic state of the country, you definitely wouldn't find the type of weapons (and magnitude) that you do now. There needs to be a way higher variety of low grade weapons, and less of all firearms. Keep in mind that a lot of the people in Chernarus have their guns for hunting. Some may have pistols or something else, but nothing too fancy!

I remember the helicopters had definitely been removed from the game for desync issues or something like that. But have they been brought back yet? I have seen 2 different helicopters since then, but there are also many hackers in Dayz, so it's hard to tell. If so, I need to start searchin'.

stop whining. You clearly don't understand that the game won't be any fun if all the zombies are a one shot kill. Zombies aren't a problem if you can shoot one bullet and they'er gone, then they're just an annoyance. This game needs to be difficult or it won't be as fun and addictive.

That's a lot of stuff just to let you know. Think about how long it took for them to make bear traps? Besides, a lot of this stuff would never be used.

"let's make this game really frustrating!" What?

I think they should do slightly more damage, but not back to normal. One shot with a revolver or M1911 is a little crazy.

I'm already paranoid enough with other people... Adding highly trained groups of well armed men trying to hunt me down at all times is too much. And it would be totally unfair, they would easily kill anyone they found. Plus, it makes absolutely no sense that they would do that, what do they hope to accomplish sending groups of guys out there? Not only that, but I could see other problems emerging, what if they went into the middle of a large town? Zombies would kill them all very quickly, and you would be left with that amazing equipment just lying there for the taking. I think some kind of small scale military involvement would be really cool, but not like this.

good ideas sir. Maybe the hatchet should be a secondary? But pressing "F" to pull out the flash light and put it away is something that should be done.

That would suck. You can't give certain people an advantage because of the way they play the game, it's not fair. besides, you will become a bandit yourself one day, whether it's you intentions or not, trust me...

Vests can stop rifle cartridges. I think this would be an awesome addition to the game.

It's true, there are very many of them. And the sad thing is, the watches are totally pointless. Apparently they aren't even synchronized with other players, and you can tell what time of day it is by looking up.

People would just wear it all the time

please no. This isn't Left 4 Dead.

Dayz needs better music, you can't disagree with that

Not a fan of shotguns, but there's an 870 with flash light that would awesome to have when scavenging at night!

I don't think they could do that. That's why we're waiting foe Arma 3

It's an alpha

I can see many people disagreeing with me, but hear me out. Guns should be a luxury in Dayz. It's pretty safe to say when you see a another survivor in dayz, they have a gun. That's why a There's a lot of PVP in this game, life is precious and people don't want to risk loosing theirs.It gives players something to reach for, like NVG (But not that rare). This would also make zombies more dangerous, which we need because they really aren't right now, people are. Good guns will be owned by the best players (M1911, CZ 550, Endfield, ext). Amazing guns will only be owned by the LUCKY players(M4's, M107, M9 SD). Because in my experience, these are not to hard to come by. They should also be found in realistic locations and areas. This game needs to be more survival. It's about sustainable prosperity, not arm and destroy.

But the zombies weren't just survivors like you or me, they were civilians, farmers, and towns people. If you were to take 100 people (randomly chosen) from a post soviet area - most being farmers - do you think they would really be packing that kind of heat? ESPECIALLY not M4's and M16's. Also, consider the economic condition of the country before this happened, people wouldn't be in such a huge rush to spend money on guns.

You have no idea

I agree with what a lot of people here are saying, high end military weapons are too common. They should only be found at a couple specific locations, like the airfield. I didn't make this topic because I'm tired of dying, I made it because one quick trip to the barrack or any of the thousands of deer stands will grant you one of the best weapons available. Maybe we just need more likely weapons that could be spawned, such as shotguns, AK variants, and other low grade firearms in stead of finding M4's and FAL's so easily.

I thought they were turned off because of the whole sync thing. I don't know what sync even is. I thought they were going to fix that then put it back? am I wrong?

nope didn't read nopenopenopenope
