Yes

This is not about KoS, please move to 2nd grade detailed reading.

I am talking about the ones that are so scared of NOT playing that way that they use these kinds of servers,

So you and Chris529 are gonna make this go off the rails again?

There isn't enough coordination for that to happen

Are you still here? Wow

I will not bother to argue this with you for 2 reasons1. It will make you happy and drive away your natural instinct of insta-locking the thread 2. We will never find a common agreement if your counter-argument is that blunt.

That does not correspond to this whatsoever and if you are now digging up old arguments in an attempt to get a rise out of me than you will be dissapointed, you can kindly leave the thread along with your obsession.

Calm down Inception, i will acknowledge solo and even semi-friendly bandits such as yourself.

I think it is because a very large majority of the player base are bandits and bandits can not mobilize tons of people at once in an orderly and safe fassion without vehicles, and they are too afraid to play the game without their 10 snipers watching over them as they take 1 step forward.

Probably private because it discourages combat logging, 3DP & CH are optional, but I like to have nameplates so I don't shoot the guy who gave me something 10 minutes later because he moved ahead of me.

I actually read about a lot of how the controls work so i managed to feed myself the first time, however I only played it because I saw videos of it being played in way early alpha when you got a Makarov and spawned in a house, but those videos were pretty old and I didn't bother to check the date so now I was terrified by the fact that I had no gun and was also spawned in Drakon, which was nowhere near a house (Didn't know where shit was at the time so i went east like an idiot) after reaching a gas station 3 figures appeared before me and told me to put my hands behind my head, I didn't know how so one of them hastily shot me in the chest with a silenced m4a1, it knocked me out instantly, the presumed leader of the group called him a retard and proceeded to bandage and blood transfusion me, after I explained that I was new one of them gave me a revolver and I was jumping for joy, I said farewell and headed back the way I came because they informed me that I wouldn't find jack shit unless I headed toward the city, so about halfway to Elektro i heard my first helicopter, thinking it was more people from the previous group I ran in circles yelling for them to pick me up in direct chat, and they replied to me request with about 40 bullets to various regions of my body with the helicopters turret, and that ended my first adventure.

So what is the point (besides variety) of having the revolver and M9 in DayZ? The m1911 upgrades from the revolver in every way, and the G17 upgrades from the M9 in every way. There is no edges to either of those weapons because their better versions exist, and they are the same rarity as their better versions. At least with a Makarov it has 1 edge and that is that it's ammo spawns everywhere, whereas 1911 or ACP is a little less common.

As far as I know the zombies in DayZ are programmed to have some type of smell that makes them shamble in your general direction even if not alerted, and from in-game experience this seems to be the case, so I propose an idea: make their scent go farther, but work slowly. For instance, if you stay in one area for more than 20 minutes, then you will have a decent handful of them slowly inbound in your general area, stay there for 40, and you have a horde. I think this would stop the rediculous coastal sniper camping that is going on right now because it would be more safe for a bandit to pick someone off, grab the loot, then leave, instead of going back to sit in their hole because them staying so long has attracted half the city. I don't really know how program heavy this would be but it would be a massive improvement for heroes and bambis. (Side idea: Maybe having a ghillie suit equipped would make them work a lot slower since you are covered in forest elements.)

Well everybody, excuse me for thinking that these forums were for improving the game because appearentely they are really useless, because everybody provides the argument of "Just because". If you are too casual to actively participate in improving an alpha or beta, wait for the finished product. Rocket has his work cut out for him if these are the only kind of ideals people are going to lay on the table, thread abandoned, you can argue amongst yourselves about reasons that a 4th grader would find obsolete.

I have to be condescending because I can not crack the nut that is "The casual gamer"

The ranges are the same, look it up

The person in the top picture is in the process of looking to the side.

This is about the weapons not me.

You are trying to debunk my post by stating reasons THAT ARE NOT IN THE GAME, but instead in real life.

They look fine, you are imagining things that aren't there, wikipedia search "Schizophrenia"

A musket is not in the game, in real life sure but this is a game about hardcore survival so it is in fact, dumb.

Go away

Because I am going to repeat this one more time, THEY. ARE. WORSE. IN. EVERY. WAY, there is NO preference involved, lets say the revolver one hit killed on body shots too and the m1911 didn't, then there would be a preference, but it doesn't, and it doesn't do anything like that to make it that way, choosing between something like the PDW and the M9 SD has tons of preference, you could have precision and no noise, or a big clip, with more DPS.I can't accept it because it just simply isn't.

Using a weapon that is worse than another in every way isn't fun, it is dumb, also yes a lot of the rifles probably have the same issue but I am talking about pistols right now, I'm not discussing all the types at once or this will REALLY explode into a pool of idiocy.
