Is that a BUMP in the road?

Great server with great guys on it. I highly recommend giving it a try.

Hey guys. I'm part of CKS and I absolutely love playing with these guys. They are a really friendly group of people who are easy to get along with, along with having some very experienced DayZ players, giving new guys tips and information to help you in the game. If you're sitting on the fence on whether to apply or not, join into our teamspeak server one night and see if you like it. If so, fill in an application form and go from there. :)

Hey everyone, I thought I would share a few of my suggestions that I think would make DayZ a more immersive and fun game to play :) I know these have probably been suggested a number of times before but I do not have the patience to go through all the pages to check haha. Well, because Dean Hall has been talking about gun durability, perhaps guns could be repaired if parts were found. But, if there are going to be gun parts in the game, why not add variants of gun parts? So say and M16 has a 20 inch barrel standard, say you could find a 22-23" barrel which would increase your guns accuracy, but perhaps make it heavier which slows your movement slightly or increases the speed at which you lose food/water. This could also mean that you find a certain part of the gun which can be used in more than one (say m4 and the m16) and therefore can be used to repair different guns. There could also be many of parts of guns that could be swapped out to say, increase/decrease fire rate for more or less control at the expense of more/less firepower etc. However, not any average Joe is going to have the knowledge or tools on how to disassemble and reassemble guns with different parts. So perhaps have your character be able to learn about these things, and would have to acquire the appropriate tools or visit a gunsmith building. If this is going to be done, some homes could have gun cabinets in them. These gun cabinets could be host to normal guns, or randomly (and very rarely) have customised guns in there. This could require a certain toolkit to pick the lock of the gun cabinet (or be able to search the house and find the key for the cabinet), most the time to be disappointed and find nothing or a few mags/rounds of certain guns, and very rarely find a gun that's be customised to hell and has badass parts. This would really add reasons to check more average homes and would add a little back story to each home, showing whether the owner was a gun enthusiast and liked to customise his gun, or some homes didn't have a gun cabinet at all. Another suggestion of mine would be different ammo types and mags. So currently in DayZ there are normal rounds and SD rounds. Well there could be all types of ammo, incendiary (or dragons breath for shotguns, meaning they are even more effective) to produce a burning effect on target which could mean that 2 hit kill weapons would only take one bullet and over time the burning effect could kill or seriously injure the target (be it zombie or human). Humans could stop this burning affect by the "stop, drop and roll" method, which is easily done in DayZ. However zombies could be distracted in will then run around randomly trying to get rid of the burning, but not knowing how (seeing as they are brain dead haha) Another ammo type could be FMJ. Say body armour was brought into the game, FMJ rounds could penetrate the armour whereas normals rounds would not penetrate all the way through. The body armour would obviously have the be fairly hard to find otherwise this could unbalance the game by a fair amount. Holo-point rounds. These rounds could be used against people/zombies without body armour and have a greater damage effect, but would have more trouble penetrating against body armour. I know Dean has also talked about changing the way ammo is found. If I understood correctly, I think he meant you could find a certain caliber of ammo, and then produce mags from that. Meaning, you could refill half empty mags, and create new mags out of your bag of rounds. I think this could be balanced out by having to find the mags first, then being able to fill them with ammo from your bag instead of being able to magic up a magazine from putting bullets of the same caliber together lol. So, if this could be done, why not be able to find different types of mags such as beta mags. http://goo.gl/S1XF3 This would allow even more customisation of your weapon. Plus, if this method of creating mags would be implemented, why not be able to find bandoliers around the map to store even more ammo (plus make your guy/girl looks like a badass) http://goo.gl/BaXXF And, my final suggestion. New guns! I get fairly bored of finding the same guns in similar places. (Shotguns and enfields in farms, makarovs and m1911's in houses, M16/AK in deer stands/ military camps.) Add in some more variation of weapons. More handguns, more military rifles, more shotguns, more snipers. I know this would be hard to add into the game considering all the work that has to be done to add in guns to a game AND to get the game out by the end of this year, but it doesn't all have to be in there on release. They could be added during the game's like cycle to refresh it and make your character feel more like an individual, rather than a character that has been to the NW airfield and has found an L85 AWS and AS50 and now has nothing else to aim for, simply because they have some of the best guns in the game and there is no need to find different guns.

Hey guys I was playing Dayz earlier when it was v1.7.2.3 and it was working fine. However, it updated to v1.7.2.4 and bam. Doesn't work anymore at all. It just comes up with "Bad version. Server rejected connection". Using six launcher by the way. Any help appreciated.

Done that. Not too hard to see when only ones that are the same version are highlighted in white and different versions are greyed out lol
