prod (DayZ)

The whole point in the notepad not being lootable or not being able to make these items without a notepad with content would eliminate the use of google to shortcut the process. The notepad would be a special item which does not act like any other item in the game. Upon dying u would lose all the experience you have gained. Hence adding value to your character. Maybe even helping to eliminate the KOS attitude.

I like the idea but it needs tweaking. How about experience being gained from doing repair and finding books excelling your progress. I personally don't agree with people who think that a life in DayZ should not be treasured and is worthless. I think that dying in DayZ should have a bigger effect than just putting you back on the coast so u can run back to your tent and re-gear. Hear me out. What if you can find a notepad and when doing maintenance on vehicles your notepad starts filling with tips and shortcuts, maybe some improvised short term items could be made to get a vehicle moving for a short distance. Reading books could add more of these tips and improvisations. Upon dying your notepad is not lootable even if you are returning to your corpse and without the notepad with content u obviously cant make these items. You could take it a lot further. Use it for gardening, making clothes etc. Start off with very basics items and crafting them would unlock improvements that could be incorperated into your next craft. Hopefully someone can help me improve this idea. Have a nice DayZ :)

Nice history lesson, while we're at it lets not forget that America is built on slavery and false flag wars. Go and invade a defenseless nation on the back of lies and propaganda.

I attended Army Cadets. I have a German passport and was disallowed entry to the British Army When I turned 18. I won every shooting competition I entered for 5 years straight, I have hit a 10 round half inch grouping from 200M with iron sights. I know that a safety makes a noise when not switched very carefully. Maybe its you that has no knowledge of British weapons ever considered that? I don't like being patronised by someone who is incapable of using punctuation correctly. Zervox obviously didn't read my posts thoroughly otherwise he wouldn't have spouted the shit he did and obviously neither did you. Hopefully you won't get your license, one less trigger happy yank on a crusade over the middle east.

I could literally go on all day about how obviously full of shit you are. 99% of your first post was utter bollocks. Not to mention your incoherent rambling in your second. Trolling is only fun when completely retarded. You just proved that point.

Ah ok, maybe I tested on the wrong weapon. Thank you. P.S. I would love if an admin could correct the title of this thread. Can't find the option myself. P.P.S Thank you admin ;)

Nice input...

Very good point Which I forgot to mention! My mouse doesn't have a trigger guard and if you have ever walked three days with a rifle in arms you would appreciate where I'm coming from. Another thing... Where the hell is the ability to switch fire modes in DayZ? I haven't fired that many weapons but I'm quite sure most fully automatic rifles have the ability to switch between fully and semi automatic?!?! Plus you gotta think about the type of player that shoots from 200M+, I bet 9 times out of 10 its a greifer shooting a survivor. Most people shoot zombies only when being attacked where a hip shot is enough to get the job done. The rifle does not need to be zeroed at 10-50M IMO. Maybe the sight that comes on the weapon would be zeroed thanks to its original owner but changing to scope would then require zeroing. This is all opinion but my first statement stands. If you are the type of player who thinks 3rd person is good for the game I would prefer you to not reply to my posts.

Safety. Before guns can be accurately simulated we need a safety catch! A visible safety catch could also indicate a players intentions. While standing close to that player a click of the safety could also indicate the player has changed his opinion of you. I have accidentally killed a friend in DayZ from my finger resting on the mouse and I quite sure I am not the only one who has accidentally fired his weapon. Weapon Jams. Another aspect of accurately simulating a weapon is jamming. I have fired a lot of british army weapons and can tell you that gun jams are frequent especially if maintenance is not regularly and thoroughly carried out. Where as an AK has less moving parts and is much more reliable at least that is what I have been brought up to believe, anything based on the SA-80 however is total shit at least the A2 not sure about the more recently modified version. I would like to see weapon maintenance be needed more frequently in order to keep jamming to a minimum. Zeroing. In the real world you cant just slap a scope on a weapon, dial it in to 300M and hit a V-bull. You need to find a tin can place it on a tree stump judge the range you are shooting, then set the range on your scope and fire and see where the bullet lands, adjust your sights and try again until the bullet lands where your crosshair was when you pulled the trigger. I understand this is an overly realistic feature to add but it IS realistic. Personally when DayZ goes beta I expect the hardcore servers to accurately simulate firing weapons. I don't think any of these features are suitable for normal servers or players who think 3rd person is good for the game so please don't reply if you do. No offence intended. I would however like to have these features considered by the Devs before its too late and too hard to code in afterwards. Have a nice DayZ.

This bug forced me off game last night. I was in a group of 3 and was the only one getting the artifacts. We were in NWAF. I cant confirm if the artifacts were coming from the corpses because they were so bad i couldnt see anything. Rebooting, relogging, updating gfx drivers and changing video memory all did nothing to fix it. Im now completely stuck in NWAF.... Please fix this soon.
