Shewie94

Hello, I wanted to report a player called "[CCCP] Wolf". He is/was obviously cheating on the server: LU94 (1.7.1.5/93965) (Veteran|3D:ON|CH:ON) dayzmod.com - Dayz - Clan [OrK] - Orkney The incident happened around 19:25 (GMT +1). Me and my friend were trying to loot Stary Sobor and we got into a fight and killed "[CCCP] Wolf". In the chat there was "[CCCP] Wolf was killed by Phie (Friendly fire)". My friend "Phie" was going to loot the body while I cover him and he got killed by a L85 (Phie was killed). Afterwards I went there to look where the murderer of my friend was, and I saw someone looting the two bodies. I shot that guy and looked down on the chat who it was: "[CCCP] Wolf" was killed by Shewie (Friendly fire) AGAIN!. Why is this message even showing that it's friendly fire? I guess thats the part of the Cheat. That all happened within aproximately 5 minutes. After I killed him the second time, there was again the same guy standing there with his gillie suit and the same weapon looting... I was going to shoot him, but I got injured and had to run away. I'm pretty sure he teleported there 3 times within 5 minutes. That pretty much destroyed the whole fun we had before we met that cheater. If people like this don't get banned, I'm pretty sure I'll quit Arma 2 Dayz...

Thanks for all your opinions and additional ideas. But when I think about it, the idea of making the crossbow a secondary weapon is a bit excessive. Leaving it on the primary slot is ok, but it needs improvements. I'm certain that this game (and mod) will make it to one of the best coop games ever, when it reaches the final version. Currently we're in Alpha phase, but I guess they will improve the crossbow someday. We just need to wait and it will come :). I'm really excited when that day will come. Thank you again for all your opinions, and please continue posting :)

I totaly agree. It's pretty difficult to hit someone at 50 meters range, because you can't really aim with it.

It does one-hit zombies' date=' even if you hit the arm or leg. Problem a lot of people have is that they go for headshots because they think anything else won't do the job, but you want to aim for center mass with the crossbow because A) There's no targeting iron-sight, and B) it's a one-hit kill no matter where you hit, so aim for the easiest target. I can understand what you're up to. But to be honest, the crossbow is the weapon that no one ever uses. Most players avoid to use crossbows because of its slow rate of fire and not stackable ammo. If that's the part of the idea, why is this weapon still in the game when no one uses it? That's why I wrote this thread. The crossbow definitely needs some improvements in some way. Thanks for your opinion :) So who exactly is "most people" and "no one"? Because I've talked to plenty of people who specifically prefer the crossbow for just the reasons I mentioned. Sorry if I'm not right, but as long as I play I have never seen a player playing a crossbow yet. That's just my experience that I've made. Actualy I didn't know that the crossbow "always" one hits, or does that change at longer ranges?

Hey dear DayZ Players. I would like to share my idea of making the crossbow a secondary weapon. I think no one would use the crossbow in the primary weapon slot because of it's short range. I would say the crossbow would be more of a use in the secondary slot, and even more people would appreciate it. I don't know if it's possible to make a quiver in DayZ, but this would be my second suggestion. You can have up to 10 bolts in your quiver, and the quiver is held in the tool belt or the secondary inventory (Pistol ammo and bandages). As long as you do not have a quiver, the bolts will be held in the secondary inventory. Furthermore the quiver should be relatively rare. It should be found in farms, barns and houses. In my opinion the crossbow is one of the best weapons you can have to avoid zombies and silently kill them, but it's not really good against enemy players, so the idea of making it a secondary weapon is really comprehensible. Imagine you're in an situation where you know that enemy players are near you, and you got stuck in a house surrounded by zombies. So what's left? You kill the zombies silently with your crossbow, instead of firing your primary weapon which appears to be very loud, whilst drawing the attention of the enemy players. I think there should be two different Crossbows. The one that you can actualy use now with the bad iron sight, and a second one with an Red dot sight on it (or at least something comparable). The first one has a common rarity, and the second one can be only found in Barracks and at Heli crashes. This mod is designed to survive the Zombie Apocalypse, and making the crossbow a secondary weapon will increase the feeling of being in a real "game based" apocalypse survival. Furthermore it has definitely more style shooting a crossbow, whilst being silent, than shooting an Enfield and inviting a quarter of the zombies on the server to eat you. I thank you all for reading my suggestion and I hope you enjoy my idea and/or give some more suggestion to improve the crossbow.
