They should add the .22Mag Revolvers. I was just in the gun store about 15mins ago and half of the pistols were .22 Mag.. Bought myself a XD-9 3.3!!
-
Yeah, you don't even need subsonic rounds it's so fucking quiet! Well not that quiet but very, very close...

True I don't even remember the last time I cleaned it. I got it when I was 11 and I'm 28 now.... But I do own a fairly new (2 years ago) S&W .22LR AR Variant. It is slightly more accurate but defiantly not the .22LR accuracy that I had growing up. Overall manufacturing quality have gone down substantially over the years. I have the original of this- http://www.cabelas.com/product/Shooting/Rimfire-Rifles/Semiautomatic|/pc/104792580/c/105530580/sc/104800680/Colt174-M4-Ops-22-LR-Semiautomatic-Tactical-Rimfire-Rifle/710003.uts?destination=%2Fcatalog%2Fbrowse%2Fsemiautomatic%2F_%2FN-1102344%2FNs-CATEGORY_SEQ_104800680%3FWTz_l%3DUnknown%253Bcat104792580%253Bcat105530580&WTz_l=Unknown%3Bcat104792580%3Bcat105530580%3Bcat104800680

As I have said many times. The .22LR is the #1 murder caliber in the US. No other caliber kills more people...Your .50cal can suck my .22LR. Also .22LR is used in a couple states to hunt deer. Basically a man sized animal....What more do we need in the realm of facts.. Also accuracy from a .22LR is next to shit. My SKS is more accurate for example. Back when I was young .22LR was made to a higher standard and over the years it has dropped drastically. The only accurate and reliable ammo for a .22LR is CCI. With how inaccurate guns already are in game they could leave it alone in that regard. They should also add in a 1-50 chance of a dud round when using the .22LR. Also at least in the USA the .22LR is the most sought after round and hence has become so rare in the last year alone that prices on the street are double and there is less than a tenth of the amount of rounds on the market from the year prior. Lulz, a couple months ago I sold a box of .22LR which cost me $15 for $50....Don't even ask what I sold my extra case off 556 for.... Little tid bit of info on how reliable the 10/22 is. I have well over 15k rounds out of mine. Probably in the 30k's by now...

Messing around on experimental, 1PP vs 3PP :D
rybo replied to Grimey Rick's topic in General Discussion
Lulz turn up you field of view. As for a RL perceptive in a game I'm gonna need you to back up that comment and at least give us one example that doesn't require a VR engine. Otherwise what we got is as good as it gets. There may be better but I'd like to hear them.. I'm gonna go with your head bob is still on. Even with it off your screen will still shake. Just like in RL. Also try not running around with your camera at full zoom like 99% of 3PP:On players. When I play in 3rd I'm in full zoom 100% of the time cause well why not. Its basically hacking. If you zoom in while in first person your camera as I already stated is shaking from basic movement (Even with Head Bob Off) causing any long distance viewing to be very difficult. Add in Head Bob and your all over the place. (Not realistic at all. Our eyes compensate for our head movement.) So just the basic camera movement gives a huge tactical advantage to the person using 3PP cause the camera doesn't shake at all. It's locked into a invisible floating box above the characters head. Think Mario World from N64 if your as old as me. This 3PP:Off constant camera movement even with head bob off causes allot of players motion sickness. Your not the first nore the last. That has been brought up even back in A2 days.. Kind of like how some kids couldn't watch the original Pokemon cartoon cause it caused seizures. Some eye's/minds can handle it while others don't. The answer to that is above my pay grade. Don't ask the forum ask your Doc why you get motion sickness playing games. -Joke Final note. As easy as 3PP:On is everyone has it too. The playing field is fair. It just seems like hacks. If you don't mind getting spotted over a wall from a guy crouching on the other side even though you were a X-SEAL who knows more about being tactical and stealthy than anyone in game it doesn't matter. Cause even the SEAL could toss out skills and take up a different camera angle too. The OP's screen shots a prime example. Dude is laying down in the A-Tac Tower. You could sit off the edge of the Air Field and wait and spot for hours just, waiting for movement in the tower. Of course you don't see anything and you think it's safe. Well guess what. Some guy had a eye on you from the start thanks to the camera angle. No matter how skilled or tacticool you were it would not matter. MoFo can watch you all day without you ever knowing. Now does that sound like fun? Only for the A-Hole in the tower. And note to the OP: Now post these shots. Crouch next to a wall in 3rd Person. Shoulder to wall. Then Lean into the wall. Now use your camera to see through every and any object in game. <-----THAT IS A REAL PROBLEM...Not just seeing over shit. Cause whats the point of being mad about a guy seeing you over the wall when in fact he saw you through it like it wasn't even there in the first place. I know of a couple other bullshit 3PP tricks you can use. Again why I don't play 3PP. I'm not the only one who knows this. Fuck it...I'll tell one. You can use the same lean trick and put your gun barrel through a wall and sit in 3PP:On and bag people without ever being seen. And there are many more... Now send in the hordes of 3PP=better...Lulz...Until they can fix the real issues with 3PP I honestly think it's game breaking and immersion destroying... -
An interesting statue...in the middle of nowhere?
rybo replied to Jezza93's topic in General Discussion
Follow the literal Air field Strip straight North East. Do not divert of its line and you will run smack into the old statue with the radio. We already tried taking 6 radio's and tuning into different stations and waiting... -
ic, ic... Yeah highly doubt that works legitimately. But after thinking about it after every patch doesn't one of these post show up. Seems like they have a Hive conflict issue. Or as I suspect server .SQF needs a update.
-
I believe you. But double read my post I had to edit some extra information in. I'll type "Hardcore" in my filter and still pull up a server or two listed as "Hardcore" when in fact it's a Regular changed by the owner/renter. The in game filters isn't going to fix your problem just mitigate it. There is no "Hardcore vs Regular" filter at all atm...fyi even in the Game Type filter doesn't work fully. Half of that information comes directly from the owner/renters sever. So if they didn't update there .SQF file it's gonna pull up on the list. If that's what your getting at?
-
Ive got money its a regular server with the name of a hardcore. Servers are ran by players. Talking ages of 8 years old to damn near dead if Grandpa Bad Ass plays games too. They are the ones who name the server. When you purchase/rent a server the name will be based on the version you have loaded. So if a server was Hardcore then changed to Regular by the owner and they haven't gone out of the way to change there name then your gonna log into your other character. Same goes for the guys on Regular who say "I logged into a server and I was wiped but as soon as I joined another I had all my gear". You just joined a Hardcore server listed as Regular. Or it could be Hive issues but I don't see how two separate Hives (Servers) could be crossing information without having a direct link via cable or software. Trick is to find 10 servers and float between them. I know Favorites don't work and History is iffy but a pen and paper always work...

Dayz is giving people a new way to let loose
rybo replied to coltonlong's topic in General Discussion
13 of us outside Kamyshovo. Pretty sure everyone was a random. We all grouped up and I yelled "Coke party!" The next thing I hear is "Coke party! Pants off everyone!". Then of course everyone drops trow. We end up dancing and running around in place for about 5mins when this guy rolls up clad in gear. Everyone paused thinking hes gonna light us all up. But guess what. Fucker starts doing the lean dance..The lulz. I couldn't stop laughing. Then of course we hear the dreaded Mosin crack overhead and it hits Mc Geared right in the noodle and drops him dead. Everyone scattered. Then of course like the lemmings we beach Bambie's are we all ran back to the dudes body to loot it. Of course the firing starts again and everyone scatters. A Bambie is now dead next to Mc Gears. Then again we all flood back. This goes on about 2 more times. Then the firing stops for a brief moment and we again flood back. Everyone is trying to rip the M4 of the guys dead body but thanks to the bug where it stays in the body everyone keeps ripping it from each others hands. I had a brief thought of toddlers fighting over the new toy. Then it hit me. Why isn't anyone taking that thing loading it and lighting everyone up? Cause at the time we were all shoulder to shoulder huddled like an NFL team before the big play. Well you can guess what happened next. "If they aren't going to do it then I am". I loaded that M4 as fast I could and proceeded to pointblank light everyone up from right to left. I was able to pop off about 20 rounds before it again was taken from my hands. During my spree I again caused everyone to flee the body. But alas what was left of us (about 4) again made that last full hardy attempt to get that beloved M4 and all it's glory. Well again I lucked out and snagged the M4 before they did. Then of course like clock work the Mosin starts saying hello. The Mosin drops another poor Bambie as me and as far as I can tell the last guy dive for cover inside a tiny wooden shack. And that's when I became the last Bambie cause I turned my back on the guy and he fucking knocked me cold in an attempt to finally get his dirty hand on my newly acquired M4.. Last story. My group of 5 were in Elektro boarded to death. One of the guys starts making gun noises over direct while pointing his gun at me. So I dive for cover doing my Pew Pew's. Then of course the whole group jumped in and it was a verbal death match. This lasted at least 15mins. When we finally finished we grouped up to roll out of town. Then out of a 2nd story building a guy yells out "Yall guys doing the Pew Pew noises?"....The Lulz we had.. Now we have a running joke when we run up to each other in game. When you see a buddy for the first time in game you yell out in direct "Yall doing those Pew Pew noises?" Last but not least: If anyone ever hears a group of guys singing John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt off que...Yea, that's us. -
Nothing like giving away your position and almost losing an eye in the process..

Agreed. And as the others have stated it will be a while till we even hear about them thinking about fixing this. For the mean time just assume the worst and hope for the best.

Firefighter's axe in a backpack, but not an M4?
rybo replied to subliminal_city's topic in General Discussion
"Pulls two pings and break's M4 apart" "Slides into pack" Add in a 30sec-1min build timer and I wouldn't mind. They of course would have to load and chamber causing an ambient sound aka warning. As for the fire axe fitting in your pack that is whack. Here's the fix. You take your newly found hand saw and cut it down to a "fire hatchet" that of course can be thrown 10m! Causes KO's with head shots and instant bleeding with body and limb with the chance at a broken leg should it land. Also should have a 30-40% chance of hitting hilt first causing blunt trauma. That or they could add the look of your axe head down in your pack with the handle sticking out. Granted same could be used for a none broken down M4... -
Lulz, RyBo-"Sniper in the tree's!!" Buddy-"Fuck, not again!".... I would trade my left nut for the ability to use a climbing rope for say climbing up the side of the boat off the coast of Riffy or one of the taller buildings in Cherno. Just think your 3/4 up a apartment building and climbing down gives a real risk of flying out the windows due to Alpha issues. Well have no fear toss out your trusty rope and repel down or climb down like a larger than normal high schooler cause "We are all beach babies that don't know how to wipe our asses". We can leave the ability to climb tree's to a single type or group of tree's or not at all. But as a semi-seasonal bow hunter it would be awesome to set up a tree stand. Then again how trustworthy ladders are keeps coming to mind...

How do you shoot the SKS? 1 round ? 2 bursts? 3 bursts?
rybo replied to crazyandlazy's topic in General Discussion
Till they're dead... -
Fuck that! I could only imagine! Having that same effect dumbed down to a gaming level would be fantastic. As you shoot the sounds get quieter but the ringing starts. After 5-10 rounds the ringing starts to dissipate down to an overall muffled hearing which slowly gets even more muffled down to the point where your forced to basically scream in direct chat for you buddy's to hear. All the while the ringing is still there but rides in sound level based on ambient sounds around you. The effects could last 5-15mins and if your ears do begin to bleed you'd have the chance at a later date for infection. Add in the hearing protection idea's and I think we got a winner. Thanks for your service and <3 for the better idea!

Good stuff. It's weird I find more "Nice" players on Hardcore than none. It's gotta be the atmosphere that having 3PP:Off gives. Anytime you see someone else your like oh thank God possible help! With the classic thought in the back of your mind "This guy wants more than my beans". I also run into a much larger group of older players on the 3PP:Off vs the 3PP:On servers. For example I don't think I have ever "ran" with another player I didn't know on a 3PP:On server. If I did it was closer to a crawl cause that's what I'd end up doing after having my legs axed from behind. I also wouldn't call 3PP:Off servers Care Bear by any means cause the best bandits ie. skilled bandits I find are always on the 3PP:Off servers. These guys leave there M4/Mosins on there back and come knock you out from behind like ninjas. Then your like "wtf I was taking my time being tacticool!". But it didn't matter cause the guy had been tailing you for more than an hour... Edit: since you sound like a solo player or at the time you were. You should ask for or give your steam account name. Sometimes you can make the best of friends in a Zombie Apocalypse. <--Gonna need that Trade Marked..

who shot me at the shipwreck north of berezino yesterday?
rybo replied to brumey's topic in General Discussion
Be glad you didn't just fall out the side of the SOB... -
Yeah we all know already "Alpha"...Considering they are able to copy/paste files over it's not like they have a full series of titles to pull from. Cough, cough ARMA...

Very true and we must all not forget this!

Since they added the new "feature" I honestly think people are jumping even more than ever.. I have yet to go to a airfield that wasn't looted no matter how many or how little players are on the server. There have been many times where the servers shuts down when I'm in Cherno. By the time I make it to Bolota after the restart at least 1-3 hoppers have already beat me and if I'm lucky I might catch one near the last prison when there extra greedy.. I also sat above Bolota airfield and watched for 5 hours 2 days ago. I can't say it was worse but I sure as hell can tell you it doesn't seem to be helping. Like WTF are these paid Chinese farmers like in WOW? The only time I have not been beaten is when the server goes down while I'm at the loot location. Like literally still in the bunkers and when that happens it's 50/50 whether someone jumps in and magically loads in the bunker with me or next to me. I sure as fuck am not going to wait 5mins to hop servers..But then again I wasn't even the hopping type in the first place. Seems like a cheap trick/ band aid to a bigger issue. The people that play this game for a COD/KOS fix don't have the time nore do they even want to "try" the other part of the game out because it's not in there interest and don't find fun in the other 99% of DayZ... Edit: I have a couple guys on my friends list that would sit above Bolota all day and snipe. They have been able to dupe gear since SA hit the stands. Every time a new patch came out they would have to figure it out again. During the time while trying to figure out the new duping trick they would still need gear so they would server hop. Well, they again fixed duping with the new patch but also added in the server hopper timer. This killed it for them and I have yet to see them play! So I guess it's working for some players while others it's just a nuisance at best. I do thank the Dayz team. It takes time to figure these things out and at least they are doing something about it. It's not like I got any better idea's, Lulz. Edits: For my God awful spelling...
-
I feel the same way. I honestly think the SKS sounds closer to a unsuppressed M4. Then they need to give the SKS more bark. About 2x more. We should all be glad they are not true to life. Every time you'd fire your ears would be ringing like a nade went off next too you. Would be cool though. Add in some ear plugs and headsets. That way when you do get in a fat firefight without ear protection your at a tactical disadvantage to the ones who do. Would also like to see headsets that amplify other sounds. My $15 electronic ear muffs allow me to hear substantially further in RL.

In my opinion 3rd person is a carry over from the Arma days that has yet to be removed. "Yeh, yeh, Rocket said it's part of the game" We gotta keep the kiddies happy and all.... 3PP:On servers are for the types who don't have the skill to play 3PP:Off. Again in my opinion. Why do I play 3PP:Off? Because you can't lean threw a wall to see whats on the other side. You can't look over walls. You can't look around corners. You can't see that asshole crouched 10' in front of you. etc, etc, etc....The pure amount of skill needed to play is enough to knock a bunch of my buddy's out cause in there own words "3rd person camera is so much easier"... Let the weak play with play with the preteens...I have yet to run into another player who I personally thought was under 18-22. But on the 3rd person servers I run into hordes of 10-15 year old kids. If do end up playing on a fuck around server aka 3PP:On Server I'm just doing that. Fucking around KOSing/Banditing/etc, etc. Cause its fun to hear the kids cry over direct right before you put a .45 in there noodle...
