Never, ever, ever give someone a weapon. Food, water, bandages, gear...but never a weapon. Also, don't keep a weapon in your bag if you're hanging around someone you don't know--they'll absolutely take it out and shoot you.

PLUS LOOK AT THAT FLARE, WHERES THE DYNAMIC LIGHTING

If I could give you multiple beans, I would. A+ thread, would read again.

Snarky comments aside, white list medics do help. HINT HINT

Up and on-duty in Electro.

Up in vicinity of Electro, for however long that lasts :D If you need some medical support, add me on steam: Udak

http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/57966-game-suggestion-notes/#entry552887 But yes, this is an idea I agree strenuously with.

Are you moving the executable after the installation?

If it was simple item inflation or finding, we should be seeing at least somewhat comparable numbers of m107s...instead, there's hundreds of AS50s on dudes around electro and cherno and I've never even seen an m107.

I've read the dayzdb weapon comparison sheet and it lists audible ranges for weapons that (from my own experiences in-game) aren't accurate. That is, .50cals can be easily heard over 600m away, silenced weaponry certainly can be heard further than .3m, etc. I'm guessing that's the range for pulling aggro on nearby zombies--does anyone have the data for how far away survivors can hear weaponry? For the sake of simplicity, we'll ignore the sounds of the bullet (I have clearly heard the operation of a 50 that was more than 600m away, not just the round traveling).

i heard you like hacks so we put an ax in your computer so you can hack while you hack.

Failure Admit! Got geared up and then died several inglorious deaths. Saddest death was a tie between: 1.) making sure my overwatch doesn't shoot someone while I personally investigate if they are friendly (they weren't) 2.)having a group of three people see me while i'm looting the school in electro... I announced my presence and got the first person not to shoot at me only to have the second guy draw down and headshot me 3 seconds later (while the first guy went "no no no no no!"). All-in-all a fun evening, but unfortunately unhelpful to the cause. I'll be up and running sometime tomorrow. The dude from 1 actually looked me up here, added me on steam and apologized--actually a pretty cool guy that got spooked by me telling my overwatch to fire (over direct comms to my buddy on skype) if he showed 'hostile intent, like if he starts shooting at me'.

Back on duty at electro. my steam is Udak. send away

Ugh, died again--was repairing my tractor and lagged...someone got in the tractor and ran me over :D. All things considered, one of my cooler deaths. Down for now.

This. No more looking at a DMR mag and wondering why I can't stuff those rounds into my FAL. If they can miraculously switch into m24 rounds, they sure as heck can swap into FAL.

Imagine duping a coyote filled with all the ammo you need. Was in that machinima stream everyone's been talking about? My understanding was the Rocket had added the fill up for mags because they had a tendency to disappear if any portion were used--better to have a fill up then a drop, I guess. Here's hoping he's fixed that root issue.

Gross! That's definitely an A1 then. My apologies for doubting you.

Regardless of your profile, you have only one 'toon.

Just did some reading online, was unaware we apparently have been selling these to other countries. Does it have a burst setting? I'm just interested to see if the good fellows at FN or Colt have been updating the A1 consummate with the A2s.

I spawned into Kamena the other day and found a crowbar right off the bat. I hate Kamenka, so I ran around until I had five zombies following me...then I started swinging. I ended up killing all five, but was bleeding out with about 1500 blood left. I died, inside a circle of dead zombies, clutching my crowbar. I like to think someone stumbled on my corpse.

Your post is a bit confusing, but the Army still has sizable stocks of M16A2s kicking around...and the Army formally stopped acquiring the A4 in 2010 so I can guarantee those exist. All of this is besides the point, because I was talking to Krtshv about him using an M16A1 CQC which, while I've never heard of it, may be simply a bayonet mounted on the end. The A1 was another terrible weapon in the suite.

It's also important to note that they're specifically salvaging the M4 because it's cheaper than investing in something better (and there are A LOT of more suitable candidates), and the army is in a penny-pinching mood...but the piston system is the way to go. A gas-operated system just means it's going to be straight filthy all the time and while the metal-on-metal contact has made the Army wary, I think they're coming around to the fact that they're blowing through pieces on gas-operated anyways due to hot gasses being used to cycle the weapon.

Unless you enlisted in the '70s, there is no way you used the A1. That was the POS used in Vietnam, that melted handguards and had a 20 rd mag. You probably meant the A2, though that one didn't have the picatinney rails so maybe the A4?

M16s and the whole m4 suite suck dick. http://www.defensein.../ Gas-operated is so 1960s anyways. M4 finished dead last in performance during army and marine testing over the past decade. They've had to start on a piston system to get people to buy into it--that's apparently the specops m4 that's going around now. If you really think M16s and M4s are performance-oriented, fire 600+ rounds in a day and just let that POS sit. Try using it in another week, and just LISTEN to the spring. That's absent the increased effects of sand/small dust particles. Both the m16 and m4 are renowned for being accurate and I think the issue was ignored for so long b/c it was easy to just chalk malfunctions up to poor soldier maintenance--which is true to a point, but after 10+ hours out, you really don't want to have to spend 2+ hours cleaning your weapon EVERY TIME YOU GO OUT. FFS if you just stood outside with your weapon for a few hours you'd need to clean it. All of this stands in stark comparison to the AK that you can literally bury in the sand for 3 months, dig it out and fire the mag still loaded. It won't be nearly as accurate, but it's also a 7.62 and on fully auto. EDIT: because I'm stupid.

I've been playing for a while and just figured it'd be cool to implement some sort of written word into the game. That is--you would have the power (w/ pen and paper or some other writing utensil) to write on a single sheet of paper in-game, that would be carry-able or store-able. I think it would be a great way to get at people that kill you (a string of curses, left on your person, so that the person looting you gets a chuckle going over your stuff) and could be stored inside tents/vehicles to indicate whom, exactly, you are robbing. Even something as simple as a SteamId so that the person who got scared and shot first can apologize to you (assuming they care about that stuff). I think the litany of possible uses for one of these papers (imagine an in-game sheet with supply dump coordinates listed!) meshes well with the open-ended and open-world environment in dayz. Thank you for your time. PLUS CAN WE GET BANDITS TO HAVE FLAMING HEADS SO THAT THEY ARE EASY TO SEE I LOST EVERYTHING I HAD IN ELECTO TO SOME SNIPER HE SHOT ME AND I D/C'ED BUT IT DIDN"T WORK AND I LOST MY ACU PACK AND ENFIELD
