Same happened to my buddy while we were hold up in the fire station. We closed all the doors down stairs. He moved to a corner and was looking at his inventory and just like the OP I hear a scream and my buddy's "WTF they just broke! and ruined my pants!" I know it wasn't a zed or a gun shot. Was funny though. Our other buddy was lucky enough to log in with a broken arm. He logged out fine in the middle of the woods and when we all jumped back in. His arm was broke. Pretty sure it's just a bug. Or invisible ghosts. P.S. Yes, I know limbs can break going down stairs. Neither happened on stairs. Neither were followed by any type of gun shot. Anyone remember from 2 patches ago how your character could just drop dead magically due to a bug. I'm sure it's the same type of shit..

It's terrible and unrealistic. I know I shoot 600m IRL...No rifle in the world sways like that when you have a bipod and a stable position. And last I check when I'm running around with a rifle in my hand in RL it doesn't sway like a pendulum. Neither does it sway while looking left to right. Why cause it's in my damn hands that are attacked to my arms. Not rubber-bands. Also a 600m shot with a 10x scope in IR is honestly easy ass hell as long as it's sighted in. An 18" tall target takes up 1/4 of my scope at the range. I might as well be using irons at 100 yards.. Overall terrible..Just my 2 cents...Arma has the closest your gonna get to a real sway even then its rubber band man time. When it's an option I turn that crap off. Along with head bob. My eyes naturally counteract head bob.. As for any shaking like when you have broken arm but don't pretty sure that's just a bug while prone. Noticed last night too. Happened when aiming downhill..

Oil for my bipod? That's a first for me. Never heard someone doing that. If anything a pair of needle nose pliers to re-tighten the bolts after 2 years. The rest though. Spot on.

Bagged a Zed with my suppressed .22 pistol from at least 100 yards away with one shot standing. So I know that's been changed it was originally no good at 50m and at around 25m the damage would go down too. Otherwise I'm a mosin guy due too dispersion being jacked. If it's better for rifles too I'd like one of the new AK's or a trust M4.

Nope Berinzeno...Ran from Bolota to Berin twice. Only saw players in Berin. Out of a 40/40 I saw at least 20 of them there. All rocking mosins and lrs's thanks to the new police station spawns...

The AKM and M4 are rare yet you can find a Mosin and LRS that spawn side by side in the police station now... Turned it into a sniper match. Run into more players with Mosins and LRS then I have ever seen...Like everyone had one it was nuts lol...

This not being a new engine is like calling a car off the lot not new, cause they made the same model last year... Save your face palms for your classmates..

Everyone with a working brain has said as I that it should have been built on another engine. It only took them a year and allot of wasted time to figure it out..../facepalm

I have to pay for my internet usage via data not monthly. No way in hell I could I afford that... Otherwise your right and I would. lulz

One to two weeks ago as of April. Yeah, just do what most are doing. Pitch it to the side and wait for that magical day. They couldn't care less about stable build. More or less don't blame them either. They just wanted a open Beta and they got it with experimental. Us Stable players are more or less just cash cows and not here to help in any way other than funding and moral support.

Great idea expect every time I've seen someone wearing a UN Helmet/Beret it's right before they shot someone. Bandits wear them on the regular cause no one but a stupid hero is dumb enough to wear one right? No, it's the best Hero/Bambi bait and the best part is you wear it on your head. So no need to move it around or forget that you dropped it in the road. It's like spraying your self with pheromones before the prom.. Either way I voted yes. Cause I still carry my beret around and put it on right before I confront someone I hope to be friendly. But for real though never met a friendly who was wearing one. I've met more friendly's fully clad in TTSKO with Mosin and LRS. Just my 2 cents..

Yep, remove gamma and brightness from in game settings and they fixed the exploiting. It's that simple. Why it's so hard to figure that out is beyond human comprehension. I mean come on my monitor already has a manashery of gamma/brightness/color settings. The double redundancies is nice for other games but in DayZ? No way, way, to easy to exploit. Nuff said on that topic. As for overall lighting. Yes, needs allot more love. It's pretty awful. Not even half as good as Arma 3. Alphers..Nuff said. And last but not least. Yes, I would like day/night cycles to go by in 6 hour cycles. That means 4 hours of day with 2 hours allotted for dusk and dawn followed by 4 hours of night. If you want the player to experience the cycle then they need to make it based around the average play time. IE. how long you game out per session. So the length would need to be changed based on that statistic. Nuff said again and final.

Lulz, Just stuff ammo cans or pistols or Kevlar helmets in all your slots. I've been shot by a Mosin then shot 5 times by a M4 then was shot twice with a shotgun. I didn't even bleed. Happens all the time..

In other words. So they are still gonna go threw walls but now they can run up stairs!

/facepalm

Way to late but yes they should have picked the A3 engine instead of mashing two engines together. One being a old and well rounded while the latter being brand new and only had one title on it prior. Where the idea to mash them together is over my head considering the fact A3 was pretty much in it's final stages of development and is vastly superior and it is the next step in BIS engines. To sum it up it's like taking a old dodge charger then dropping in a brand new crate engine. In the end sure it's faster but it's still just a old dodge charger. Either way wtf do any of us really know on this subject...

Simple fix that won't ever happen. Remove gamma and brightness from in-game options. For crying out loud my monitor already does this. Do I really need a 2nd option that I can legitimately exploit to gain an advantage over players looking to immerse themselves within this game? No, no I do not. I lend a /facepalm to the Dev's....

Remove gamma and brightness please! My monitor already does that and any option in game will always be exploited. I'm still being killed when I can't see my hand in front my face. Once instantly when I spawned on the beach.

Take your gloves off. When a black character wears gloves there arms turn white. Couldn't have been the only one to notice the weird effects of wearing gloves does. I've got a screen shot of me straight up missing arms due to gloves lolol...

It's true this game would have been top of the line had they used the A3 engine. Instead they mashed two broken engines together hoping to fix old problems. Sounds like a bad idea on the outside, no? Especially considering A3 has most of the A2 issues resolved... Everything about A3 is better. Lighting, movement, FPS, guns and all.... I will add that yes it took them after launch to get everything working. But that's just the new industry standard. Pushing games out before they are ready and don't think for one second that Dayz will be any different. I highly expect us waiting up too 3 months after launch for everything to work semi-correctly. As for the tree's and new towns the game needs them. People like me who have been playing on Cherno since it was made need these changes. The map was purely designed for large scale combat. Hence why everything looks bland expect the new towns. Other than the new towns it doesn't even feel like a A-poc is even going on. Then add in the wack-a-mole Zeds and all the other issues it's almost laughable. It will be about 2 years before this games becomes what most thought it would be. So your choices are burn yourself out early or wait for the goods.

Sometimes it's best to start from the begging of the thread and work down. Your first reply to me was in response to my answer to another commenter. From there I broke it down. Then you got lost somewhere in between. I assuming you didn't know it was reply to someone else without using quotes. If you read before commenting you would notice I've been on track while your off the walls. And the "know it all" stuff. Give it up. This ain't the steam forums. Not may people are gonna take any bait you give them. I will say I do probably know allot more about firearms than you. I'm sure others on here know a hell of allot more than me. But then again who gives a $hit. That's not the topic of the thread now is it? And this isn't a pissing match. Also as for the Mosin not 1-shoting someone. Just because it hasn't happened to you doesn't mean that it can't happen as commented by others in this same thread. That's where my comment about ballistics and general firearm mechanics in game are a work in progress and that's why this pistol is lame sauce. I'd be great down the road when it's worth it's weight. My comments still stand as this a being a useless weapon. Like I said. I'd throw it at someone before I'd try to shooting someone with it. That's my opinion and doesn't mean the pistol is total crud.

I've always said it was a cheap fix at best and now it's 500 seconds. /facepalm... Well now I can fit in a anti-combat jerk.

lol...Re-read my post I never mentioned that the SKS shot a x54r round. Just the fact that a SKS (x39) which is a .30Cal is survivable in SA without question. I was basing my information off general .30Cal ballistics. Doesn't matter though. Also did you miss the part where I said Ive been shot on multiple occasions with a Mosin and not even bled? I didn't break it down so far cause I figured most would know what I'm talking about. FYI the Mosin is a x54r in RL. Yes I know the Mosin in SA is a x51 NATO. Either way in DayzMod/Arma 2 x51/54r were direct copy paste of each other so I don't see why SA would do anything different. Which is more or less true to life. To put it plain and simple if the ballistics/damage of firearms in game were close to real life or close to the Arma series then I'd say nice new addition! But, the fact of the matter with what we have a single shot rifle/pistol is just gonna get you killed. Unless of course your a head-shot masta. With the mechanics we have now we need more drum and belt feed weapons.

unless it's a x54r then no. Not in Dayz SA at least. Ive have personally survived over 5 shots to the body with the SKS in SA..Just my 2cents. Add to that Ive survived countless single shots to the body without even bleeding from the x54r is SA so even then yea, no its a POS.

Lol, the one story red brick with the bedroom in the back half? We always called it an Inn but a tavern is much closer to what it really is. Elektro has 3 alone. Every major town has at least two. Every medium town has one. Pro Tip: They spawn weapon optics/parts & yellow cases and of course the standard red-cross medical bags. -Basic loot description- The bar table has the bi-pods/optics/parts. Even the chairs spawn an optic once in a while. The floor is normally crap aka clothing with a chance at a yellow case that spawns on the floor between the tables and the bar. Always check behind the bar for a chance at a rifle or another parts spawn. I normally find Mosin Compensator there. Then in the back room with the TV and wood floor spawns the Fire axes and standard ones. The bedroom in the back used to spawn Mosins/SKS's at the foot of the bed but not in over 2 months..
