Instead of .50 why not just add rocket launchers They work fine in wasteland, just add them to dayz and problem solved

So for those of you that havent played it yet, Dayz+ offers a huge challenge in the way the game is played. Zombies are now a threat, they WILL kill you in 7-8 hits from full blood, if you go unconcious you are screwed. Want to be a douche sniper? Well good luck, unless you are actually a good shot your not going to live long as a sniper, AS50s and other high tier snipers are gone, DMR is the best you will find without hacking, night vision and thermal dont exist and getting an M16 is a real moment of happiness as it can be difficult to find decent weapons, although sometimes you get lucky Zeds also agro much easier, running through a town to where you want to go and shooting them as they come into the building is a death sentence, seeing as you cant take many hits and more zeds agro......ive seen many a bandit (wannabe bandit) stop in the middle of the street, aim his lee enfield, miss me and then get mauled to death before he can fire a second shot. Food and water and even weapons are not as common, ive seen people teaming up in groups of 4+ with just hachets and one pistol if they are lucky. Myself? I spent 4 hours looking for something to replace the AK i found that only had one mag, i now have a CZ550 but that took searching every barn in the southern side of the map. Its a mod of a mod that is now on dayzcommander. Youll get bandits, but they wont last long unless they are smart, plus you can easily tell them on side chat who they are as soon as they find out zeds are a threat they rage on the side chat about how its a pvp game and not pve, i find there are more people willing to at least stick around to transfuse you without just shooting you in the face, because you really value finding a sidearm in this map and its worth keeping, but not worth getting hurt for as if you get shot back and wounded, you wont live long after so keeping blood at the max is a priority. And thinking you will live off cooked meat? Good luck finding matches, all toolbelt items are rarer, ive yet to find matches so do you think this map is what DAYZ should be, with zeds a threat and less supplies One of the main reasons is that it makes you think and plan your route to your target (whatever it may be, medical, food or weapons) You must be smart, whether your friendly or not, you cant just go around shooting everyone, as you will last mere seconds if a horde of zombies corners you. I agree its more to my taste, but i can see it will provide a challenge for all types of players, for you bandits out there I say give it a go too. You will find it harder to catch your prey, as you will need some escape plan or have plenty of ammo to spare (which you wont)

Spawn killing isn't defined as killing people looting coastal towns Spawn killing is sitting at a spawn point sniping them as soon as they join the server or having a team sitting along he coast killing then as they spawn By the time they have reached a town thy are no longer really considered new spawns If you just sit along the coast sniping people as they log in your just a loser who is too scared to go after armed players or you are just an asshole griefer

Tajjuk Although I agree with some of your points Pretty sure rocket said its not a game and its not meant to be all fun , it's an anti-game It's meant to make you feel powerless and frustrated The problem is your saying ai zombies will always easily be avoided, but if they programmed the stand alone so that they followed you no matter about line of sight ect they would be too hard but making them a little easier and they are easy to avoid Hyperrheically let's say your sniping and for and zombies hear you from 1km away and Agro to you they wouldn't be easily avoided In their current state they are easy to avoid however I think it's not right when you say they will always be this way, it is possible to make then a considerable threat but the line between easy and too difficult is very thin and it would require the right mechanics which only the standalone will provide Those are just examples, but you get the point, it's very possible to have zombie threats I think we should all go into the standalone expecting them to be a threat instead of ignoring it and assuming nothing will change, same with this update which is the same mistake many players made with dayz+ and dayz2017 as they couldn't use the same tactics as the weak zombies in other game modes It's better to be prepared for the worst then blindly assume its going to be a wall in the park On the point of it not being a true game, it is a survival simulator, technically it was always meant to be they way

BAPBAP your clearly just trolling now, you seem to think that you have all the answers There's a million ways you could repair a helo in under 6 hours, I've done it alone on populated servers in 1-2 hours, sometimes you just get lucky with what you find I'm not a sniper type, ad don't 'noob raid servers' Your views are so narrow minded I can't believe you actually believe what your writing. If your going to make up silly assumptions about people then let's start talking about you I figure your typical day is log in, point rifle, click a button and feel awesome for killing an unarmed guy at 1000m because you can Where as some of us actually use tactics other than point and click to get their thrills Just because people don't or haven't used snipers doesn't mean their noobs, you just have no imagination and are butt hurt that your favourite 'this gun makes me look awesome with easy kills' toy has been removed I don't really use snipers, because I find the as50 for example and even the dmr way to easy to kill with and boring to just casually kill people. And I do just fine, I use mainly assault rifles and the longest I've survived without a sniper is around 20 days, on a populared private hive which wasn't a non pvp server and always had people around, most of the time I had an m4 cco, my kill count was 13-14, all in self defence because im careful and made good choices If I remember rightly i was actually killed while logging in because there was an unsceduled restart with no announcement that left me standing in the middle of electro while I was getting medical supplies But everyone dies at some point You need to face facts, this is steering towards survival instead of " how many people I can kill with my easy mode toy" kind of mod/ game I know nothing is going to convince you to stop raging and arguing, as people have clearly tried to advise you and all you do is respond with sarcasm Your the troll

Maybe they like going on those kind of servers to meet other players then go to dayz servers where pvp is allowed, it's more common than you think I don't really agree with no pvp friendly only servers but people can play how they want, maybe they want to make some friends and talk to people, this is something you should work on BAPBAP Coming here and calling someone a fat troll outright is a good way to get yourself banned from the forums, chill out and lose the anger or no one is going to bother reading what you write

The problem with those rifles is it does become just shoot fish in a barrel game Firstly I don't know if I agree on their removal or not, it had advantages as disadvantages eiether way But come on, it's far more interesting firing at 400m at each other with Enfields and assault rifles than aiming at and killing someone that has a macrov from 1000m

I don't really know what everyone is complaining about with as50s and m107s being removed seeing as you now need 2 shots when barely even trying to aim instead of 1 All it means is that it's going to take you half a second more to bring someone down as you fire a second shot with a sniper rifle It's not a big deal, it just means you need to actually have some skill instead of aiming in a players general direction, Not bothering to zero and clip off their finger nail with an as50 and kill them

Yawn People say everyone will eventually become a stone cold killer, I've been playing since almost the start of dayz and never had any thoughts of going over to the dark side and have no intention of doing so So when do you predict I will become a kos player? 1 year? 5? Never going to happen If you kos it's your choice, your just too weak willed to hold out the course Sure your gonna have to shoot most people but most of the time people who get killed trying to be friendly were just not careful enough when encountering others

Just a thought..... But I still see a lot of fake heroes, there's nothing to stop groups blood bagging each other and shooting each other to gain a hero skin to get humanity Any chance of a system where you only gain lets say humanity 2 times for each player you encounter So you heal someone 2 times and gain a few hundred humanity but then There's a cool down of 1 hour before you will gain humanity from healing that same person again This might see a decrease in fake hero skins

I had a 42 day old hero when I was on the public hive, spent most of my dayz sniping bandits from Cherno tower on fully populated servers and giving bloodbags to those who came up with their weapons left Down below I was killed by a hacker that teleported behind me and as50 tws to the back I also had 3 near misses with another players 1 bandit logged in next to me, I told him I'd give him a chance to log out, he said "fuck you hero" ad turned and he died instantly from my dmr and I took his as50 and L85 Another dmr guy shot me from the other tower and for some reason remained standing up aiming as I bandages and spammed cooked meat from behind cover, then another sniper killed him Third was when a group kept server hopping up into my tower trying to kill me, I logged out after killing them 4 times as they spawned up there in a group with pistols and low tier weapons Must have racked up a good 50 bandit and 3-4 survivors and 1 hero that fancied their chances at climbing the ladder after me telling them not to

I run on 10-20 frames normally and I followed the settings here and it didn't help In fact changing the shadow detail and some of the other settings lost me around 5 ffps

Don't forget when you do the bandit action figure to make sure it comes with an AS50

I approach people how I expect to be approached I understand people are twitchy and the way I approach people is (and would expect to be approached by a player) 1. If I sneak up on them without them seeing me I say "if you want to live drop your weapons, make your choice" If someone snuck up on me and did this I would comply, if they already have a gun pointed and me and haven't fired chances are they won't kill me 2. Surprise encounters never go well, eiether one side just fires, although here I just call friendly and hope for the best it's all you can do, but the thing I expect is for people to take cover if possible If your looking to find friendlys the best thing is to play a harder game mode as this will also prepare you for the upcoming update in regards to more zombie damage Dayz+ is outdated but I always go back to it as there are always people looking for transfusions or morphine

I thought I'd seen it all While running along suddenly I get sniped Except this appears: Was killed by Zulu with lee Enfield from 1629 metres Of course the guy was accused of hacking but nothing was found , it was a legitimate one shot kill to my body Pretty sure you cant even see that far without a scope but ah well, he also went on to kill 1 other at 1200 metres Anyone have any similar stories?

So I've been sitting on this idea for some time Many people complain or discuss realism and get no where so I've decided to simulate a real zombie apocalypse as close as possible It will need to be a European server as I'm from the uk The idea is to have 15 players join a server, and have the admin livemap teleport everyone to the same location as a new spawn The goal is to survive, everyone has 1 life and travel as a group as much as possible. It will need to be played on dayz+ or dayz 2017 where zombies are a threat and food and weapk a more valuable However.... What happens when someone finds a gun, they might start murdering the group The reason I say dayz2017 would be good for this is because of the scarcity if weapons and ammo I'm looking for a large range of players from bandits to heroes, but no one will know what everyone's intentions are However if your plan is to kill everyone, try to make it imaginative Maybe you will hide a hachet on your tool belt and wait to slowly pick people off and spread distrust while at the same time trying to not kill too many too quickly so you don't get a bandit skin I'm looking for these kind of people, if you want to just pick up a gun and kill everyone that's your choice, but if you want to be part of something more .... It will lead to some interesting situations, while looking for food or water, who will crack first when all of us are blinking out ? Name tags will probably have to be enabled as in real life you would recognise one of your group And no starting gear except bandages and backpacks The only way I can determine that's there's both bandits and heroes is to get the potential survivors to email their application ( no in game name and I suggest changing them) Picking one or 2 good and bad guys and email then the server and day the event will take place and pick the rest at random I also welcome any recordings and ill piece together from all angles and send to everyone involved to post on their YouTube as will I The only real requirments are a microphone and maturity, expect to get betrayed and please do not bitch when it happens Thoughts? Suggestions?

You can on dayz origins and in fact it has a lot of new skins for them on there too :)

I agree with the zombies , that's why I believe dayz 2017 is the best option Bandages are rare and zombies hit hard on it and its easy to bleed to death on 2017, when I've played it I've found maybe 3-4 bandages in an 6 hour session, now imagine sharing that between 15 people using direct chat which could bring zombies, 1 little scratch and your at the mercy of the 1-2 guys that maybe have bandages, so with so many people around there are gonna be casualtys and the rarity of blood bags and hunting materials might mean 1 guy could hog all the good stuff In secret and others will easily succumb to the elements Maybe no name tags then, this will mean that someone could make some secret murders , there are bound to be times where people loot cities in smaller groups, giving that player the opportunity to make kills Seeing as I now think not locking the server is a good idea, those not chosen for the main group may still play as they please and will be given he route the group takes and their mission is to cause chaos and ambush us Do you think that woud work? That way is the best of both worlds I believe

Good idea Anubis Also a good idea might be to have the admin in the rocket skin as an impartial recorder and cameraman to catch all the events as they unfold

I've always had this idea of getting a server admin to help set up an event where he livemap teleports all players to the same location as fresh spawns and locks the server It would be on something like dayz+ or 2017 where it's difficult to survive Now a lot can happen here ( this is to simulate a real zombie apocalypse where at the beginning people would be in groups , maybe 20 players and only 1 life each) A few things that might happen: First guy to find a fun mows down some people and they all run but some people get I to smaller groups and survive Guy finds a gun, becomes the first protector of the group, as more and more get guns it could get tense over supplies and someone might snap Guy finds a gun, and the group votes on who takes it One guy with a hachet slowly picks off the group but try's not to get a bandit skin to reveal his true nature A few of the group might secretly be friends and take out the group at the first opportunity All could be starving and 2 people are flashing on food but only 1 food item Is left, someone might snap and kill the other guy for it This would be a good event to host and would give a true feel to the apocalypse scenario

It's just as narrow as your point of focussing on pvp, you may as well stop talking to me It's supposed to be a sandbox and yet half of the options avaliable are not properly catered for It's not going to get anywhere arguing further Maybe 50% is a little too much focus on pve but whatever your opinion or mine...... Everyone knows in SA zombies will be more of a threat Perhaps not to my standards or yours But that fact is undeniable, plenty of proof in comments by rocket

I like how you missed out all the points I said you were clearly making assumptions about For example, making zombies retards that slap you and giving you endless supples of guns you don't need for pve forces people to get board and shoot each other, how many people do you see on here that say they kos because that's all the endgame there is...... Most of them do So by default the mod is providing us with the tools to kill each other and nothing else, it's just as much forcing us to do that as stronger zombies force us to apparently become friends with everyone So your forcing everyone to become bandits because of your opinion And you think that all pvp will be lost 100% because I think a 50/50 balance adds for more interesting moments, it's still going to be there I'm talking about toning it down, what makes this mod unique is the ability for anything to happen, if you don't take some ( NOT All! JUST SOME) of the focus off pvp it will stay that way Having it as all kos makes it ALMOST (ALMOST!!!NOT 100%) like every other death match out there You are just arguing for arguments sake now Go live on another planet

I have quite a few as i tend to go after and hunt people down if they do something horrific But one stands out more than all the others, I didn't get the kill but it is a tale of revenge One of our group got brokn legs from a zombie and we jumped in the chopper to rescue him at the factory near solnichny Then a guy turns up before we arrive and our teammate asks for morphine, lowers his weapon as everyone in our group is friendly The guy stares at him for a good 10 seconds then coldly headshots him and the killer takes nothing Luckily we got his name and spent days hunting down this cold blooded killer Then one day we are at skalsky island when a boat approaches and has 2 people aboard , both are bandit skins and the name tags matched one of the guys who shot our friend We opened fire killing the killer's friend and he fled We shot up the boat and myself and 2 others made it to main land in a boat and found his boat in fire on the shore We see him running away and we pursue him into the woods, shots are fired both ways but at 400-500m with m4s neither side is getting any hits after 5mins of running We decide to split up at a road as we didn't see which direction he went Now alone I spot him but he's too far away and has now just met his dead friend as he spawns nearby I fire and wound his friend and again they run, one of our snipers shoots the new spawned bandit again and the killer we hadn't killed yet finds a car and flees which we shoot up So having given up we log off except our sniper with the m24 1 hour later he sends me a screenshot of the bandit dead right next to our camp as he returned to the island after we logged off but our sniper took a different name to trick him We moved our camp and never saw the bandits again

I think you just quoted me without reading much I said it had a balance of players , there were still bandits Making harder zombies doesn't force a playstyle anymore than having wet towel hitting zombies and high end gear makes more people bandits Oh wait that must mean that the game as it is forces most players to be bandit if your going to start about forcing playstyles I clearly said it made more people friendly and there were still bandits, at which point did I say that everyone was sitting around a campfire singing? And I never said anything about pvp not being the soul if the game, in fact I said that it is part of the game And play left 4 dead? That game is a piece of shit, why do you assume that all I want to do is play against super hard zombies? Oh I forgot that left 4 dead also has a massive open world where you need to eat and survive where anything could be your end, not to mention the perminant death and random meeting of other players, I hear it also has verchiles and lots of other good things Stop using " go play another game" it's a stupid response, note I am not calling you stupid , just your response In conclusion you didn't read my post properly as most of your response says I am forcing a playstyle Quote a SINGLE part in the piece you quotes that says that the game must have zombies that can KO in2 hits What I actually said was that it was possible in dayz plus for that to happen, I never once stated I wanted that to be the norm, you just skimmed over and made a half assed reply

You can't use the walking dead as a way of saying this is what we should do It's a tv show, which means its scripted and made for entertainment purposes A fine example of how people seem to think that is how real life is just because they saw it on tv so it must be real I agree people can do what they want and if you want to be a bandit then fine But if your looking for realism then play dayz2017 That's by far the closest to realism you will get It won't take long for weapons to get rusty and be useless Why less military weapons? Because although most assault rifles will be fairly easy to obtain, not every solider carrys an as50, in fact it is unlikely you would ever find one in real life Anyone who thinks every survivor and their mum will have anything more than an assault rifle needs to stop thinking its a tv show and come back to reality
