    hey about 2-3 weeks ago i was playing dayz nearly every day at 40 fps + on max settings with exceptions to cherno where my fps would drop to 20-30 fps, i stoped playing for a while and came back to about 2 patches and when i got on to the game it was lagging so badly it was simply unplayable, lowering my settings to min wouldnt make the slightest difference so i decided to go onto the steam version of arma 2 and the lag problem was non-existent so ive come to the conclusion that it was the recent patch that was ruined my game.

    my system specs:

    Asus m5a78l/usb3 motherboard

    Amd Phenom ii 960t overclocked to 3.4 ghz

    8 GB 1333 G-Skill ram

    Asus Gtx 560 non-ti

    if anyone can help me out with the problem please post a reply

    i was Sniping in the NW Airfield and i shot another sniper who was attemping to get loot from a crashed heli. i got 2 shots of my as50 on his chest and then he left, i went up a kill, i saw his death announced on the server, and yet his body disappeared when he logged out.

    this is utter shit and needs to be fixed as it is an important part of the game and yet so buggy, the items he had where pretty rare, he had either a As50 or a m107, which are very rare!!

    and they where despawned by this shitty bug

    keep this post alive so the creators of the game see it and it is fixed

    Honestly' date=' I don't think vehicle mounted weapons are as OP as people think.

    Compare it to a sniper rifle.

    With a machine gun mounted in te back of a pickup,

    A) Your whole body is exposed because you're standing upright; a sniper's is not.

    B) Your approach, by the sound of the vehicle and of the gun, is trumpeted to those all around you; a sniper is silent until it's too late.

    C) Especially while in motion, your machine gun is chattering away at a general area at best, giving to low hit probability, since the target has time to take cover, and high ammo expenditure. Snipers are usually one shot, one kill.

    D) You NEED at least two people to drive and shoot. Snipers can do bad all by themselves.

    E) You need to keep up with gas, repairs, and bullets; snipers only need one round to stay in business.

    F) You're a highly visible target to everyone, since your car is automatically a luxury item in this cut throat economy. A sniper turns invisible very quickly.

    G) You need to keep it hidden, and a soon as you can no longer stick it outside of Chernarus, you'll have a hard job.

    Just a few reasons I can think of just off the bat.

    The work it takes to get a vehicle up and running trumps ammo imo.

    i find that that is one of the fun things about the vehicles in the game' date=' if they came all premade and couldn't be broken... the vehicles wouldn't be interesting.

    sorry if i read you comment wrong

    I think we might want to make the blades wear down' date=' and need eithe replacement combine gears or scrap metal.

    the hopper should have its own health bar on the vehicle and shouldn't be effect if the vehicle is working or not

    Yeee-hawww! Call up Uncle Niko-Bob' date=' we gotta brang in this here zombah harvest!

    I think this is a great idea. We might need to make them difficult to maneuver, and more or less confined to the field they spawn in, as in "the streets are filled with broken down cars and you want to drive a what now!?", but in open fields, they hold absolutely massacre zombies, and anything else in its way as well.

    Gameplay repercussion:

    You've got a plan. You and two of your buddies are going up that deer stand to grab the loot, but first you have to clear the zombies. You don't want to waste your ammo, but Uncle Niko-Bob over thar points out one uh them there cawm-bines. He hops in it, and you and your buddy run up to the zombies, aggro them all, an lead them right in front of Uncle Niko-Bob and his spinny-bladed death muh-sheen thang. Then Uncle Niko-Bob mows them suckers rah-ght over like they wuz some kinda corn field 'er sum-thin'. Then the three of you run over to the deer stand, safe 'n sound.

    this is the exact reason i want this vehicle in the game, for realism and for fun, 2 things the game needs more of.

    hello, when playing day z i fell that there is nowhere near enough vehicles considering there hefty respawn time and the time it takes to travel in the game so i thought of some vehicles that could work well. the main idea for this post is a combine harvester

    the reason i believe this would work well in dayz is because there is already a vehicle in the game that is for farming ( Tractor ) so why no add more?

    it could use the hopper on the front to mow zombies down as there isn't really any vehicles that you can run over zombies with, without damaging the vehicle.

    it would have to have a slow speed of 20 mph ofroad and 30-40 mph onroad as it would be somewhat very large and heavy, yet it would need to be fast enough to run zombies down

    if you agree and think this would be a good vehicle to add to the game please comment and vote this thread up

    thanks for looking
