The L!ne

I read many of the posts on this thread and I think there i a point why they aren't even in the military bases: you don't need 50cals to kill a zombie. If the come in great number, just take an assault rifle or machine gun and fire in burst. That is much faster and I belive more effective. For the part of handling such a gun: If you serve your military draft, you know how to handle an assault rifle, a pistol and a machine gun, but NOT how to handle a sniper rifle. That is not part of the normal training. So there is the point where you maybe learn how to maintain a hunting rifle because espacially the one from WW2 are quite straight forward and self-explaining. You can carry them like other guns. But 50c? You cant just put them on your back and move easily. So all in all: 2 cons: the weapons would not be effective against Zeds and therefor nobody would have brought them there and the other is: you can handle them extremly bad. For rarity: in europe guns are quite rare: only hunters, policemen or soldier do have acces to them and everybody only has acces to guns they need to fullfill there job (policemen don't have acces to AR normally)

up to now there are no bonuses, but when rain will be implemented you want a raincoat are something to pretict your stuff and your body from cold and water. So still this "sewing" mechanic would be great.

Problem here: server ju,ping to stay in daylight. right now there are servers on different timesettings even when they are in europe and the full servers are all the ones with daytime ;)

looks nice, but I dont know how well you can deal with 2 scopes in the SA. Maybe there is a kind of new mechanic in it as well? (because you have a zommed scope in this G36 in every version listed above and you can attach a second one on top of it)

there are way more payment methods on steam then papal or credit card. even if you just have a normal bank accoutn you can pay in steam (at least in germany). So I don't see the point in an "normal" release despite the downloadspeed of some regions.

Rocket already did a "why not so many ..." in one of his earlier video-blogs: they concentrated on few items to go in them deep and get the mechanics working. Maybe they will add some things from time to time.

still the point is valid: you cant see anything on the compass at night. they fixed it in arma because it glows. what now? maybe like i can use 2 hands? 1 for compass and 1 for flashlight, but big objects (weapons) use both?

there was a character wipe... some minutes ago. look into the news ;)

i think the real problem is: with a high popularity you get the interest of trolls/kids/flamers and just a few of them turning a forum into a battlefield. So like it is now: the core remained and is still active, but the annoying guys wandered off with the decrease of interest. Now we have to calm our nerves and be friendly again so that the forums will be really fun again. I don't say I like it here but some of us are a bit passivly aggressiv because of the trolls in the last year. So all in all: the community is great now, but I am afraid of the future, when we will start up again to reach the 100k players per day... the trolls/flamers/kiddies will come back even in greater number, because it will be easier to install DayZ.

Hey stuff, there is an inofficial "mod" for dayZ out there: lingor map. I don't mind about the map, but the civilian skins are awesome. They really look like civilians and are kind of different to all other skins. look here: EDIT: looks like they are custom made by the devs of the lingor-mod

I am aware that i necromance the thread: but will there be any changes to the civilian-standarf-sjin in the near future (I only ask for the mod, I fooloowed the dev-blogs about the SA)

My last info was that helicopter-crash-sites are spawning while the server is running in the first hours after a restart... so it wont help you to search a "fresh" restarted server ;)

and now a happy new year.... it smells like dayz-year :D

@OP: when you key got banned because of a cheat (that was hackers normally do with hacked keys) you won't get you key unlocked by anyone. It was your fault to install such software and so nobody cares what you will do now. getting a new account a rebuy the game will be the fasted method but will kill your dayZ-chracter, too ;) get over it

back in the days of debug-monitor it was 100-200 damage per hit and chance on bleeding and/or unconciosness

i have seen one but only on a private hive.... so I can't say for sure, that it is in. P.S.: quite a lot people in europe can handle a gun. Not many own one but many people served in the army and learned how to use and maintain a gun (even I did so) and I know that the safety is not only a on/off-switch.... there can be multiple states (burst, auto, safe)

Sorry but: you can run Arma2 with such a setting, but I think it is quite unplayable with the dayzmod (due to much more cpu usage) and even if it is playable: turn off postprocessing. it just ads flares and such stuff. so you will miss enemies and objects to loot.

i love this community :D others would have called me names for cheering up the devs ;) @all: merry xmas and a happy new year... maybe we will see us out at a chopper-crashsite :D

yeah forgot to wish everybody a refreshing christmas and a happy new year ;)

hope anyone of his staff will read it and show it to him...

thats why I think, that VAC is the worst choice on anti-cheating (rumors said, that you are banned from games with the same engine... so all COD for example when you get caught cheating in one). There are although many false-positiv detections with VAC and they only reverted this once. usually your are banned when you got banned, even if it is a false-positiv

Hi Guys, its my first suggestion thread here. In my mind was the question: there is a camo for all the situations in the green wilderness but there is no camo for the cities. Why cant we implement an urban camo like one of these: http://www.hyperstealth.com/JSF.jpg How do you like the idea? EDIT: added another skin below: "i want to add another skin-suggestion: the german "flecktarn". one of the best camouflage for a forest around middle europe ;) so it could be a slightly better-camouflage then the "normal" camo-clothing. picture: http://www.your-army-shop.com/images/bw-feldanzug-flecktarn-01.jpg"

@Standalone: please insert this Vehicle ;)

i dont know if that was already suggested: please part the clothes in different classes like shoes, trousers, jackets, hats/helmets, gloves... so you can individualise your character quite well. So if I want i can walk through the forest with a bright yellow trouser and a pink sweatshirt just because i want it. Please let the player decide how to hide the best way. This will need a quite big variety of clothes in all classes...

please reconsider this suggestion for the standalone... maybe many different types of clothes (even civilian) for character customization.
