Actually I have the same problem, I used to run dayz on 70fps And no I'm down to about 15-20 over the last few months

Pretty sure insulting people by calling them names is against the forum rules Rhinecrunch got banned for calling people names and trolling This guy looks is looking to be heading down the same path

Ok moderators please just lock this thread, or at Least give this guy a warning Calling people crybabies isn't insulting but he's now calling people retards and idiots OP this isn't the way to go, all your gonna do is get yourself banned from the forums

Actually I'm not sure but didn't they say they have scraped the removal of all military weapons without attachments until th crafting system Is sorted? Not sure if I'm right but it would kinda suck to remove all those kind of weapons if there's no way to craft them yet as I'm sure razor said they have decided to wait for another patch to introduce crafting

I couldn't barely even read your post onemeanls due to lack of spelling but let's not go there Good for you, I was agreeing with you on some if your points so I did read your posts but clearly your just here to argue regardless, and the post was aimed at everyone that's made these points No need to be a dick Chill out

The real problem is that people are just scared they won't be able to snipe anymore Hell, I've gotten kills with CZs and SVDs at up to 800m and been shot down by a dmr in 4 shots while flying a heli at full speed Don't blame people for getting sniped from over 1000m away and say its their fault, that's blaming the victim when it's tr guy sitting on a hill that is causing the problem, he chooses to snipe them, you can't expect people to avoid every location as every city had many sniping spots not to mention the current fact that zombies appear so a guy 1000m away just goes hey look someone is near that town so I'm going to wait for an hour while he crawls around and shoot him as soon as he leaves What do you expect people to do? Avoid doing anything at the coast and run straight to find heli crashes for an AS50 do they can be like you? What a imagination you have there Amazing! They don't need to be removed, they need to be changed so they can only be fired prone and not semi auto as the kickback on something like that isn't capable of firing 10 rounds in rapid succession without hurting yourself or missing completely And seriously? Which is more important? Fixing a Godlike weapon or be ability to carry an unrealistic amount of engine parts Yes the engine parts thing is stupid but it's by far more important to fix gameplay issues that unbalance the game I like the AS50 but it's far to easy to kill with and needs to be fixed or removed Most of the people who are whining are those that know that without it they won't get any kills due to lack of skill with any other weapon A heli goes down easy enough with a dmr as you have a larger magazine and it still does a lot of damage And do not assume that I want these weapons removed because I've been killed by them a lot, the only times I've been killed by them are from hackers or just randomly in the middle of the woods I want them changed or removed because I've used them and know they are stupidly overpowered overpowered and all it does is encourage people to find one and grief people

Ok I think you missed the sarcasm in my post :)

Righ then. If everyone has a problem with th AS50 etc or not let's make all guns realistic and make them 1 hit kills You will see a frantic change in gameplay as people favour automatic rifles and spam at any snipers needing to get only 1 hit Of course everyone would hate this, it's not about realism, it's about balance If we want realism we should have stealth bombers at the nwaf with nukes LOL

Yeah there are about 15 maps and different versions, most avaliable through dayz commander Although most are just new maps

Trichome I didn't realise you had interviewed every single player personally and asked them That's amazing! Whenever do you get to even play dayz with so much of your time invested in such an important subject?

I survived 42 days once in Cherno sniping bandits with a dmr and L95 tws, hacker killed me in the end, racked up at least 50 kills That was the last time I played public hive

Fine ill record it next time, I didn't get flanked because I moved after each time I killed someone, it's not like I was camping in one spot I was with a group of others on my team, they secured the objectives while I sniped anyone coming nearby Chenarus is a big place, and I got killed because I ran out of bullets and could shoot back I'm a good judge of distance and the only reason I got those kills is because the M107 is easy to zero and even if you misjudge by 100 zeroing they still can die if your aiming At their head and it clips their foot so you don't even need to zero it properly With a dmr you need more practice to work out what it's already zeroed to and how that changes when you zoom in And also the only moving targets I hit were under 900m, the 2-3 kills I got at around 1200m-1300m were eiether standing still or searching a verchiles and I could just make out ther shape and took the shot Let's say your right and it's not being geared towards a survival game explain the following: Zombies in SA will be more of a threat, geared more towards survival More diseases, infections etc, geared towards survival Less high end gear and more military assault rifles than snipers, geared towards survival and not pvp( not that you can't pvp) I'm sure you have valid points, please feel free to tell me what information on the standalone is making it more towards pvp And if you even knew anything about rocket and his ideas ( which I follow) you will know he has said many times he is making his own game based on what he wants and not what people want, do some research and you will find this out, in some of his first videos he said he wanted to make a survival game/mod and has continued that idea since I've done my research, do your own

Not true Ive seen a group of hackers going around griefing servers, one of my favourite hives shut down because the same hackers kept rejoining every day with a new CD key, Between them the admin said they had used over 50 CD keys, so instead of banning them all the time he just shut down the server perminantly. The majourity of hackers wont come back, but some seem to have endless CD keys

Really the AS50 and M107 require little skill at all, I've never been a good shot with a sniper rifle in arma but recently played wasteland a lot Found an M107 and got 26 kills out of 30 rounds all between 700 and 1300m, that's the first and only time I've used the M107, and you really think its not unbalanced? That I can just pick it up and use it with deadly efficiently And no none of those targets were spawn kills and around half were running, I missed 4 out of 30 shots In another life I found a DMR and decided to see how that was like, out of 40 rounds I got About 10 kills, why? Because it requires skill and because I suck at sniping at more than 500m, I know the dmr is made for shorter ranges but that's not the point The sooner you all realise that it's a going to be a survival game whether you like it or not the sooner you can decide whether the standalone is for you or not Saying they belong in this game is stupid, if your sitting around sniping at that range clearly you are just doing it to grief people

So we are playing and suddenly 1 guy gets a global ban.....then my friend is kicked for a global ban......then another player and another player and another player......so we leave before we get global banned. Theres nothing odd in the logs as the guy who got banned is the admin of the server and he never cheats or anything. The side chat starts goign crazy when we get to about 10 people banned and everyone starts logging off. What the hell happened? Could it have been a hacker stealing CD keys in game and banning everyone? There is no way this could happen to so many people in one go, something is fishy here. We only play on the private server, and the logs came up with nothing No haters please, no one was hacking ,the logs are clean, but something was going on

Not a cool story bro So now you have loads if cool epic lootz What you gonna do now? Go snipe some bambis on the coast?

I tried to join today, but it appears the server is just reseting over and over again or something. everytime i get to the lobby i get a timeout counter, upon reaching 0 it tries to make me join the game, then returns to the lobby with yet another counter over and over again

Remember these first experiences as some of them will be the best you have And it's easy to be disheartened by people killing you but as you know someone was willing to risk giving you an assault rifle Remember that kindness and one day try and return the favour to someone by helping them and you will feel a lot better about yourself It's hard not to just kill people but stay In cover and talk to people through walls and try and determine if you think they are friendly or not if your planning to talk and trade ect Just try not to turn to the dark side, there is little hope of return once your a bandit :)

I will play on the server, but only as log as its kept up to date ( including the upcoming patch which I'm looking forward to) Where will the server be based? As I'm from uk and only US and Europe servers work well for me although if the ping isn't more than 200 I may be willing to stretch it a bit I've been looking for a server that will be updated ready for the new patch and if I know it will definantly be update ( as many servers don't update for weeks) ill be more than happy to join and make myself at home until it becomes more populated

You only get humanity on origins if you kill bandits, not in normal dayz

Vanilla dayz, normal verchiles and no starting load out None of this fake dayz crap where you can find an as50 spawning in kamenka houses ect In waiting for the new patch so won't be playing for a while anyway

I know it's not perfect, but take away zeroing and keep just the milidots This will mean people need to learn to shoot but it's not insanely difficult And at 1000m there's a good chance you will still miss if you judge the distance for example 50m wrong and moving the scope just a millimetre might miss the target by inches Leaving only the best snipers out there actually being able to snipe And no, having everyone mega super on target awesome makes the game stupid, not difficult

No it's an anti-game It's supposed to be difficult Sniping should not be easy, every aspect of the game should rely on your skills as a player and not dumbed down game mechanics that puts everyone on an equal footing Well trained sniper..... The fact that everyone could be a well trained sniper is ridiculous, a few minutes in arma and you can be In this game you work and search for your gear It should be the same for snipers, put In the effort and get a reward and not get it for free (basically)

You guys need to chill out You still have a dmr among other snipers And of course you don't want to train, you want it handed to you on a silver platter all shiny with no bullet drop and easy mode How many of you have replied to bambi threads or told people to " get over it" and "adapt to survive" Start following your own advice Get over it because this is happening and there's nothing you can do about it You want to survive (or snipe bambis, whatever) then learn to use another rifle because its your only option if you want to keep sniping

Wish people would just remember that it's meant to be hard I can hit guy with a cz from 800 metres yet can't hit a guy at 600 with a dmr because I'm a bad judge of distance without zeroing I think people are just scared to admit that they actually lack skill with sniper rifles and know without the "hold your hand" mechanics that they will really suck at the sniping aspect of the game as I do Ill be he first to admit I can't hit shit with a dmr and in fact in more and assault rifle person, give me an AKM/m16/lee Enfield and ill be able to hit you at 400 - 600m without much trouble but with a dmr I just can't seem to judge my shots because I get confused If they removed zeroing from all snipers It would make the shooter rely on their skills far more So many times I've been fired at by a sniper from over 500m away and outshot them with an assault rifle because they lacked any skill with a dmr, and been outshot easily by those that headshot me with a dmr from 1000m away which I have total respect for as they are clearly talentled The last thing we need is everyone running around with the ability to look in someone's general direction and kill them instantly, it should require skill to survive, not care bear mode activated
