Deviant (DayZ)

AKM = 2/3 shots FAL = 1/2 shots FAL has more recoil, a higher rate of fire, and slightly more accurate. FAL Is slightly longer, 20 round magazine, and more noisy. No full-Auto. It's semi-rarity on crashed helicopters, however, is commonly found there. AK has adjustable sights, larger magazine, and is more common. AK is somewhat inaccurate at long ranges.

IF you think everyone wants to be friendly with you and buddy up with you, you're going to have a bad time. People WILL KILL YOU for your things if you give them the chance. Do not give them the chance to do so. I will never, ever, interact with ANY other player in DayZ, unless I am using them to my advantage. Which is very rarely. Yes, I'm evil and cruel. But I survive the longest! And there is good reason for that.

Found a camp on one of the servers I enjoy playing on. ~20 pairs of NVGs, ~15 Camo/Ghillies, Lots of FAL, AS50, Some scattered Mid-grade Assault Rifles, MK48, etc Funniest thing, they surrounded their "weapon tents" with barbed wire. About 20 barbed wire. Good thing I had a trusty toolbox with me :) Loaded everything worth taking into the truck parked there, threw everything else in piles under trees nearby, and blew up the car sitting there. Gotta love tent cities.

Find your trusty M136 and fight the invaders! RAMIEREZ!

When you make a game with a sat-scan map of ~225 square km, with a ballistics engine, and support of 200+ players, you need a higher end system to show and model everything. You need a high end system to use high end settings. Don't cry because your 2-4 year old graphics card can't run max settings.

An interesting tale, chap. What the fuck is an M14 EP1 ._. Oh wait, people actually use the DayZ Wiki? That's funny.

You are a fool if you call out friendly.

Rage induced posts are hilarious. If you save your vehicle, it will stay there. If you did not, it might be back at where you took it. And bikes are pretty much useless. I see that you are kinda new. You can get upset when you find a Landy filled with NLAW rockets ;)

Trying to trade will get you killed. NVG FAL is the poor-man's night time weapon. Looks/feels cool in premise, useless in practice.

The amount of threads about nerfing other players killing each other is laughable.

A child? Really? Playing as a child would be a joke. People would suicide to not be a child.

I like the "Fallout" addiction idea. However, adding a handicap doesn't make a lot of sense, I don't see anyone doing it for any real purpose other than just trying it out.

DayZ is not a "Game" yet. You are playing a game that is almost 2 months old. Take a 6 month break and come back.

It would be very interesting, although I rarely ever use directional chat ^^

You don't need to justify your suggestion by saying that it isn't hard to code. So many people do this, and doesn't make the developers more likely to want to put it in. Oh, this guy says it's easy, so it must be easy. Seems legit. That being said, I normally have music turned off, since it just repeats itself over and over again.

There's been talk that whiskey bottles could be filled with gasoline and used like molotovs.

I'm on the edge about "sanity". If you have a large group of people, and are killing other people, you wouldn't really go "insane" for killing someone. I really think there should not be any handicaps for playing like a bandit.

Option 1.

These aren't the black and white rise-of-the-dead zombies ;)

Flares would be wicked, especially against NVG wielder's ;) I think parachute flares + regular flares would be good. Launched flares would just work like regular ones, perhaps not last as long, so they stay on the ground.

Have a good suggestion? Before you post it PLEASE USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION at the top of the page to make sure it's original. If there are already threads about the same suggestion please contribute there instead of starting a new one. PLEASE make your THREAD SUBJECT short and *specific* like "Suggestion: More ways to make fire!"... Not "Here is a bunch of stuff I want"

Assuming a fresh restart, no tents, no gear, no intel on your dead body location, etc. Weapon is first priority. Anything that fires a bullet. Second is chemlights. After that is food and water, then slowly upgrading your equipment. Once you have enfield/CZ550/basic milspec weaponry, go for NVGs. NVGs are what separates the boys from the men. After that, set up 1 tent hidden inside a tree. Easy to get to, but not obvious. Patrol until you have survivable gear, med supplies, a few changes of weapons. I personally like to vary my weapon loadout depending on what I'm going to do. CQB PvP is always AKM/FAL. Range PvP Is always L85/M16/SVD/DMR w/ PDW. As long as I have both of the best, I don't hoard past a backup.

There is no reason for adding consequences for killing people. I think giving away your location and risking your life is a fair consequence itself.. Dreaming suggestion, IMO, would just be annoying. And wouldn't really make any sense to stop server hopping. They would still do it, move to a different (empty) server, "Wake up", move to a safe spot, then move on foot to ambush you again.

Extra damage doesn't make any sense, too arcade like IMO. Same with "extra blood". Your advantages shouldn't be given to you, they should be earned. Things like skill, patience, and experience are the best things to have, not "Power-Ups" for doing special things.
