Lower your expectations man.

Never got a chance to try altis life but it looks extremely deep for what it is. It also tends to have a good fanbase that will always play the game. The game engine is proably more than capable of supporting thousands of zombies but even if the game had the best zombies in any game ever it still is stuck with zombies and thats where I think the inherent flaw with dayz is. It could have been so much more had it not been cursed with zombies.

I always was under the impression a stock 780 ti was more powerful than a 290x ? Just a little more expensive.

Absolutely it lured you in but you can see now that the game could evolve into something else something unique that would be far better off without zombies.

Absolutely and making it harder and more rewarding are both positives for me. I think making it require skill and have some depth and complexity will have a calming effect on the people who get sniped. If the system is realistic and challenging they will admire the person who took them out from 500m instead of bashing them for picking an easy way to kill them.

It was sarcasm. I was making fun of how he thinks russian weapons in a post soviet nation is not realistic yet he wants the world full of obscure ww2 weapons.

No but it does a good job of thinning the herd. Those that wish to be good at it will need practice and with the attention span of people these days alot of people would just throw the hunting rifles or sniper rifles away and pick up a semi auto gun.

They will make you bleed with the bolt on but not be able to stop bleeding unless you remove the bolt. So imagine being hit in a town and then having to decide if you want to risk removing the bolt to bandage or keep pushing on while bleeding.

I would want to replace them with Environmental dangers such as yes Wild Dogs, Wolves, bears, and the actual land and topography. Imagine a world where the worlds apex predator humans were wiped out to less than 1 percent. Without humans animals would overpopulate and once again become apex predators we would be at their mercy. The real danger would be staying healthy however, would need proper nutricion, would need to hydrate seek shelter etc. Even if dayz gets all these and it really works out it will still have a gimmick and that is zombies.

We all know and love the Arma 3 stance system and while some may want it ported over to Stand Alone it really would not fit. The stances in Arma 3 are of those of a highly trained soldier something the survivors in Dayz are not. While amazing these stances would need to be civilized for Stand Alone. this would mean taking many popular hunting and civilian shooting posses at the appropriate heights and then incorporating them into stand alone. Some of the stances such as urban prone would probably not fit at all. There is a tutorial on the Stance system in case you are unaware with it and have never played arma 3.

Removing zombies for a mod of stand alone or arma 3 would allow them to focus on none gimmicky gameplay like survival . Making the environment the enemy and not some tired old cliche from the 1970s would be a welcomed addition.

I don't want Russian weapons cause its not realistic yet I want WW2 guns the thread.

Now it does not but imagine a full year from now when base building is in. People will surely horde ammo and are surely to have crazy firefights to defend their bases from raiders.

heh ebay man just type in 290x there are dozens and dozens of them. Lite coin mining and dogecoin is not profitable for them anymore so they are selling their stock.

Yup after the first shot he was still alive but incapacitated on the floor helpless slowly bleeding out.

Frostfall is an amazing mod especially when combined with other survival modules. I look forward to them playing a role in dayz. Those are just filler man. 90 percent of the players in game do not care about zombies or survival they just want to find a weapon as fast as possible and kill things until they are killed and then repeat. This is what dayz has evolved into. And no gameplay mechanics or new zombies will fix that.

The problem was not sniping per say. The problem is how insanely easy it is to snipe. Dayz stand alone and mod sniping is far too easy it requires no skill and is far too easy. A good way to no longer vilify sniping would be to make it far more complex and deep.

Miners no longer seeing profit in their rigs. It was cheaper than 300 actually it was 286 including taxes and shipping. Covered to 2018 if I need to RMA it to. Gigabye has awesome warranties.

I would love tat but moddb already makes it too convenient to range using other means. Wisht hat site did not exist.

What was the big change this last patch ?

We are pondering how awesome a mod for stand alone could be without zombies. Just survival, hunger, the elements, disease and other players.

true but stealth flies right out of the window when players can use the sight of zombies to know a player is in the area. Not to mention zombie agro to direct them straight to a player.

If it is finished or not does not matter it will still have zombies in the end. Unless they completely change the name of the game and focus on survival something I will admit would welcome. Absolutely this is where I see the wonderful modding community taking over. A mod team is sure to make survival the pivital gameplay element in a mod for dayz. If anyone has ever played Skyrim there is a mod called Frost fall combined with hunterborn and realistic needs and disease These 3 mods turn skyrim into an instense mod that makes strides to emulate survival. It completely changes the dynamics of the game , you can freeze to death, you can catch hypothermia you need to eat and rest, you need medicine to fight disease. A mod for dayz could take this and take it to a whole different level making survival be the main feature of the mod. Even if there were thousands of them what exactly do zombies add ? aside from frustration and annoyance ?

Well Dean was in the Military so I think he has some rudimentary knowledge of firearms and their ballistics. Luckily though if they live in a Country that is full of guns and one where one of the main activities is recreation shooting. I really hope they do some research by going out and firing these guns and at the same time have fun.

No but the rifle is decades old and has fired corrosive ammo sometime in its life. The likelihood of it having some pitting in the barrel is high . Balance is such an ugly word. I wish they would just treat the weapons like their real life counterparts. Give them their real life accuracy, power and handling characteristics then Balance it by controlling the loot tables.
