I sent you a PM

Paronity is right:

Also my favorite gun, 2 shots take down a player with a good chance they'll pass out after the first. Pretty abundant ammo, high accuracy and rate of fire.

I have 2 suggestions: a) i've noticed that as long as you have a map most servers let you set waypoints on the map (left shift+left click) that will then show up on the HUD as a V with the distance to the waypoint. This doesn't quite seem in the spirit of DayZ since way points can essentially be used as a rangefinder, GPS, and compass without requiring any of these items but this is exactly what a GPS unit allows you to do. My suggestion is then to disable waypoints on all servers but allow their placement once a player acquires a GPS unit (if that's possible withing the ARMA 2 engine). This would bring the utility of the GPS on par with its rarity. B) Make electronics (GPS, rangefinder, NVG) consume batteries when in use. Batteries should be interchangable, of medium rarity (~STANAG MAG), and power GPS for 2h and NVG/rangefinder for 1h. Essentially it would work like an ammo clip that goes down with time. If I recall the laser designator in ARMA 2 already required batteries. Thanks for making such a great mod

Thanx Gustav, it's great to get that sort of input. Based on that maybe batteries should be rarer then. I'm sure you agree that DayZ, just like a symphony, must contain everything.

I don't know. Once you start with motorcycles, where does it end? Helicopters?

I don't know if this is possible with the hive infrastructure but here is my suggestion: We've all had the problem of losing gear because it hadn't synched with the hive yet. You pick up a sweet piece of loot but have to stop playing for the day. How long do you wait before risking the disconnect? If there was a time-stamp of the last synch or an indicator if the player/inventory was fully synched this would be very useful. Thanks

That has to be one of the worst base locations ever... I (and I assume lots of other people) run over that hilltop all the time since there is a deer stand to the S and town to the north.

Chopper gained by creation of DayZ. THANKS ROCKET!

Always run at full speed when evading gunfire. Hitting a crouched target isn't that much harder but the extra speed from standing makes it harder. And i would always zig-zag unless you know you have good cover nearby that I'm are heading to.

Bleeding, knock out, broken bones are all probabilistic, so every time you get hit there is a change of these happening. These may chances increase the less blood you have, as is the case for KO i believe.

its really tricky but first ignore the message it gives you about objects & flat ground. here's what I do: bring up gear and crouch, try to deploy tent, if it fails take a tiny step back (you can do this with the inventory up), try again, repeat until tent places. this can take 20+ times.

I think the other reason for the decline in servers with plenty of players at night is that recent ARMA 2 patches have closed the brightness/gamma loop hole. Now a moonless night really is pitch black.

Deuzerre, I mostly play on a server where this is disabled. My main point was to use this ARMA 2 feature in DayZ as part of the GPS.

This also worked for me. reduced it from 150000 to 100000 and no more polygons.
