    Weapon Attachments

    You can find guns with attachments in this game but I think it'd be good to have the ability to find attachments and then put them on guns. Obviously you'd want realistic compatibility but it means attachments can be switched out between weapons.

    Night time pointless? Gamma fix.

    In the moonlight I can see fine at night. I've seen people with their gamma up and it makes you see pretty clearly. I just don't see the point in playing at night with adjusted settings so you can see. It takes away all purpose at night, playing at night though dangerous can be hella fun.

    Weapon Attachments

    I did use the search bar nothing came up. It hardly killed anyone posting this :L
  4. I think features like this should be implemented and tested. Only by adding features can it really be decided whether or not they will work.
  5. I think a focus on the standalone and using the mod as an aid in developing it. I'm pretty sure this is what they're doing and we should have faith that the dayZ team are working on what needs to be worked on. Dogs is a possible feature for the full game so use it in the mod and see how people react. Once the standalone is released then I think the mod will be in development perhaps side by side. DayZ has got a lot more to be done. Once the standalone is released it won't be a 'this is it'. It'll just be the beggining of its development

    Night time pointless? Gamma fix.

    See on pitch black servers without NVG/Rangefinders yeah the game is very difficult but at night, less people = more good loot. Those servers with moonlight are almost like day. The thing is if people are going to turn their gamma up so they can see, they should just play on a daytime server. I'd love to play at night more but like many I won't do it without NVG's or unless its moonlit because I know people'll just turn their gamma up. For all the realism Day Z is trying to implement just seems like night time shouldn't be so easily bypassed.

    C130 Spawn Point.

    Nah, choosing where you spawn is completely flawed for this game because of course everyone is going to spawn near the military loot locations. Best left that you need to work to get to those areas.
  8. Got a ghillie suit I'm looking to trade looking preferably for NVG but will take offers.

    Traders and Traitors

    GreenKiller+1 Had a successful trade with him :)

    too many 50 cal snipers

    Hackers have made them common. I think the problem isn't that there's too many high grade snipers (if you exclude hacked/duped) but that there's not enough low grade snipers. Beyond the CZ 550 they're all military, it'd be cool to have more 'common' sniper rifles.
  11. People don't need to feel inclined to play anything :L if someone has bought ArmA for the sole purpose of playing Day Z then they can feel free to put 1 million hours into the mod and 0 into the actual game. People have the right to play what they want, this shouldn't be such a hard thing to understand. I personally had an interest in ArmA before Day Z, I had played operation flashpoint and thoroughly enjoyed it. However it wasn't until I heard about Day Z that I decided to buy ArmA X as Day Z appeared to be the game of my dreams. All communities are infested with ignorance of some sort but arrogance is no better and it is arrogant to believe that people must play and appreciate Arma simply 'because'. To get aggravated over a game/mod/community is just stupid.
  12. Got a ghillie that I'm looking to trade for NVG but will take other offers. I'd prefer if people with positive reviews from the traders/traitors forum responded but if you're not on it then we could probs sort something out.

    ITT : Post your best gear yet

    Best gear I've ever had? Killed a bandit once and got M4A3 CCO, NVG and DMR plus many tools etc I've also found a few Bizons and PDW's in my time and one MP5SD6. At the moment I have 2 Ghillies :D DMR, Bizon, M1911 (not the rarest secondary but by far the best imo)

    Why are dayz players so hated?

    Doesn't really make sense to me why arma vets would be angry about dayZ. I understand they may see it as some Sort of bastardisation of their game but dayZ has brought a lot of popularity to the game, if anything it seems they should appreciate the support if arma is so beloved. There are those in dayZ that use Strategies and tactics, just because it's not arma doesn't mean it can't be complex. Those annoyin kids/cod babies shouldn't ruin a game and if these people are as good as they say they are then I hardly see how they can consider the more inexperienced players as a problem.

    Standalone Yay or nay

    I'm not getting bored at all, love the game even with all it's flaws. The stand alone will only improve on everything and I will definitely be buying it. Gaming had gotten really stale for me there wasn't any game I had got excited about in a good long time until Day Z came about and all of a sudden I remembered why games could be so amazing.
  16. Been playing solo since I got Day Z except one friendly encounter. Looking to team up with some people. I'm a relatively casual player.

    DayZ Stories

    An epic day in Day Z I had recently posted about finding my first ghillie suit which turned out to be a bit of a double edged sword. I had camo gear on and changed to the ghillie suit which caused me to lose my alice backpack and most of its contents. Though I didn't feel too bad about it as the gain seemed more than the loss. Next time I logged on (UK 226) I started travelling north in search of a bigger pack and better weapon currently had the Remington. I went over to investigate a deer stand and saw a heli crash! Though I didn't allow myself to be excited as people had likely already searched it as it was right next to veresnik. To my great delight I found 3 M14 Aim's, a DMR, another ghillie suit and a Bizon! However I only had my patrol pack so I sprinted with glee and fear into Vybor. Fortune smiled and I found an alice pack as my first look. After a quick dash around the supermarket I ran back to the heli crash and made off with my new Bizon, DMR and second ghillie :D
  18. I had just found my first ghillie suit and was rather chuffed as I had not long found myself an alice backpack as well but was in cherno so I began running north. I put the ghille suit on then started heading north and a message came up saying a player had been kicked for hack #35 or something like that. I stopped to fill up my canteen and when I opened my gear my alice backpack was gone and had been replaced for the coyote patrol pack! Is this a bug? I knew there was a lot of problems with the ghillie suit or is this possibly what the hacker had did? I figured I'd ask the forums before I reported it as some sort of bug.

    Bug or hack? Backpack lost.

    Ah well the fact I have a ghillie lessens the blow :) Yeah, It's just annoying to be back to the original pack :L

    Bug or hack? Backpack lost.

    Before I put on the Ghillie I had camo clothing but I haven't got rid of the camo clothing. So if I put that back on will I get my alice backpack back?
  21. I think it'd be more realistic and add to the game if bullets and magazines were separate items. You might find empty magazines or loose bullets/shells. It would perhaps allow people to carry more bullets but they'd have to load their own magazines.
  22. Not something for them to do straight away but an idea for the future. Ideas shouldnt be discounted simply because they aren't priority. Yeah, it would just make the way ammunition is handled in game a lot more realistic. ATM converting a 6rnd 45.ACP magically gives you a full 7rnd mag for the M1911
  23. Not just laying on the ground but boxes of bullets.
