I just had a 15 minute long sniper duel in Cherno. Me with an FN FAL versus an AS-50 TWS. Neither of us won, but I had a hell of a lot of fun, and we did it with incredibly powerful weapons.

amaROenuZ notes that this is the general discussion forum and thinks it should be in suggestions. amaROenuZ also thinks that the current skins are quite acceptable, and that Rocket should focus on other features that haven't already had their concept proven. I would love to see some more female skins in the game, but right now adding in features is a priority, over adding in details.

DayZ and Arma2 as a whole attempt to provide realism. Most people are incapacitated after taking between one and three shots from a military-grade assault rifle. Hence, Arma2 made most guns kill in between two and six shots, and incapacitate in between one and three. Also, this belongs in the suggestion forum.

G36s and Radios are both hacked in, yep.

My group's bodies duped whenever we logged out on our home server. Two of us had mountain dew at the time. We've elected to do the right thing and drink all of the duplicated soda pop. We've had six dews in the past 12 hours, just 12 more to go.

Man, I love the Czech weapons. It kills me that they aren't in DayZ. Them and most of the opfor weapons really.

Man I've practiced driving everything in DayZ, and I -still- hit fences and flip ATVs

Being a bandit isn't about the skin, it's about a state of mind. It's about seeing living zombies in an area and going "Guess who's afternoon is looking WAY up.", instead of "Oh, another player.". It's about hunting down another man for sport. But yes, the balaclava kicks in at 0 humanity.

No decent sniper? Months? I find that unlikely. DMRs and CZ 550s pop like hotcakes in deer stands/barracks and farms respectively.

Who cares? It's just gear. I'm as happy with a Winchester as I am with a M14 or MK 48/

Because damn it I'm angry and people need to know RIGHT NOW!

Yeah, I'm gonna have to go with the fact that there are more L85's with thermal scopes than Mosin Nagants in an ex-soviet, second world nation. I know it's a side effect of duping, and the hive, but it kills me that I really can't use any of the lower tier weapons due to loot inflation. Literally kills me actually. If I try using a Lee Enfield, I will get gunned down.

Yeeeah.. You're as bad as the scripters. :|

I prefer the G17. It's far ​more accurate than the 1911, and the difference in damage between the two is rather... negligible.

The worst addition? The players for sure. We have a really immature community here, as a whole. Check any forum on the board and you'll find someone complaining about bugs-in-an-alpha or making a massive "I quit!" rant that's nearly identical to a post that was made four months ago. On the other hand, every time someone quits like that, the community gets a little cleaner and nicer, so I suppose the problem is solving its self.

I gotta point this out, 'cause it'll drive me crazy otherwise. The cz 58 and Skorp aren't russian. They're Czech. They feel more eastern european than M4s for sure, but they are -not- russo-hardware. >>

We've all been there. Were on top of our game. We have a hyper-rare weapon. We're fully kitted. We've got enough food, ammo and medical equipment to supply a small army. Then as you're minding your own business, that bush starts shooting at you and you see the hourglass of death. It's frustrating, it's unpleasant, and there was almost nothing you could do to stop it. Rejoice. The monotony is over. You don't have to hang onto that gun or watch your every move anymore. You can walk into towns and loot without it feeling like a waste of time. You can use that Winchester, or Lee Enfield that you just love. but can never justify carrying over your battle rifle. You don't have to skulk around your comfort zone. Wander the map. Be free. Because DayZ isn't a game where living is fun. It's a game where losing is fun.

West side is better than east. It's covered with deer stands, Zelenogorsk is normally pretty safe, and it's a straight shot to either the airfield or cherno, whichever you prefer for high stakes action.

I have a couple layin around. Any chance you happen to have an M4A1 CCO available?

They ought to have too though. ;)

The second you see massive server lag, Alt F4. It's never a good sign. :P

The simple reason why people prefer the FAL over the M14 is because it's more effective in close quarters. Shorter gun, burst fire. It's also got a slightly quieter sound to the player (The FAL has more of a dull thud than the M14/DMR's crack). On the other hand, the M14 and DMR share ammo, so the space conscious bandit uses them.

Re-emphasising this. Heroes can bandit as much as they want. We have regenerating humanity. Most of us are over 50K humanity.

Body-dupe glitch detected.

Bandit and hero skins should naturally revert after a certain period of time not being a bandit or exhibiting different behavior. Right now I can stay a hero forever, even if I decide to start murdering people, but bandits are stuck as bandits forever. If you can manage to go a week or two without murdering someone, or you fail to exhibit heroic qualities in that period, just reset it back down to 2500 and strip their bandit/hero status. And to OP, I suppose you could die and spawn up as a woman. No skins there, just a whole lotta track jacket.
