I'm trying to find a stable server to call my DayZ home. Heard great things about UK#10 so I thought I'd try to get whitelisted :) In-Game Name: Orion GUID: f6e259cd69456f679a393c2964b30740 Location: Hampshiiiire Cheers :)

Theres a Frigate near Ekaterinburg in Taviana. I'm gonna try landing a helo on its helo deck later and see if tents are placeable. The mother of all camps.

Love these ideas. Enjoy mah beans.

Agreed. You should have to find the burlap and hessian and make it yourself.

Instead of a diesel electric locomotive, how about a steam powered loco using harvested wood to power it? I'd LOVE to have trains running along the coast of Chernarus. Let players signal the train from the already present train stations and have it stop for 5-10 minutes in Elektro, Cherno and Berezino. Hop off at Elektro, go grab some supplies, kill a couple of Walkers, quickly jump back on and ride up the coast.

Crossbows are designed to be powerful up close, but the small size of the bolt means they lack stopping power at longer ranges. Bows are designed to be deadly accurate at medium range, with the long arrow allowing great stopping power and penetration. I'm British though, we mastered the art of the long bow in the middle ages. I'd love to have access to a compound bow for taking out zombies at longer range before moving into supermarkets and such. Maybe find them in medium and high value barns and farm houses. More so, I'd love the ability to use the hatchet to harvest wood and the hunting knife to fashion a bow and arrows and basic bolts for the crossbow. My two cents worth.

As its a composite hunting crossbow, it'll probably be around 4x32 power, maybe slightly less, maybe slightly more. Am I the only person that can't reclaim fired bolts from corpses?

Myself and my group have spoken about this before. Would be a brilliant addition to the game. Make it take a while to strip the parts, so your guys need to keep cover over you to fend off the zombies and players alike. Would add another element of teamwork to the game.

Its a zombie apocalypse, what part of this game is realistic? Stop running into clearings and/or standing on roofs; you'll get sniped less. I spot for our groups sniper, and I'm constantly having to fend off agro zombies, as the AS50 and M107 are both as loud as hell. Just play with your head, its easy to counter getting sniped. Also, suppressed rifles are shite at anything over 100m anyways. You're only at real danger from them up close, so just watch your six and make sure you don't let anyone sneak up on you. If you DO get snuck up on and wasted with a suppressed gun, you deserved it for letting your guard down.

A few of my group were discussing this recently; Where tents are quite sketchy sometimes, we thought it would be a cool idea if you could use the entrenching tool to dig pits to make weapon caches. To make it fair, you'd also need an entrenching tool to dig it back up to get the guns back. There could be a grave sized patch of disturbed ground where the cache is, so it could be discovered by other players. Just a thought. :)
