How would something as obscure as these parts make their way to eastern Europe. Had the game been set in Farmland in Ohio sure it is plausible.

That really is not a viable tip. There is literally nothing the player can do to not get ghosted. There is no indication sound when logging in, no log in warning when in close vicinity to a player, nothing at all. Ghosting is just a by product of a broken hive system where every server shares characters. This novel idea just leads to problems everything from server hopping to item dupping is partly a result of this bad game mechanic.

yea you can do that.

I think I get what you are saying now. You want a Arsenal in Dayz like the Arma 3 version ? That ?

Yes

As for a military bolt action rifle. There is one already that fits the setting perfectly and is not obscure and silly like a Scar or a ACR or any of the other silly guns that arent common at all yet people in the internet love. Bingo

No idea what you are talking about ? Are you saying that you can't find military guns ?

Hoping to any server knowing said item is impossible there is no way you will know a certain server will contain a rare item you are looking for. Also what I am refering to in the context of server hopping is when people jump server to server in a static high loot location such an airfield, loot the contents then jump to another server. This allows them quickly amass all of the games best loot in no time usually with little risk in low pop servers. This is what most people consider server hopping and imo one if not the worst part of the game. If I remember correctly there will be both Private shards where the devs control the loot and fullblown private servers where the devs have no control of the loot at all. The latter would have to exist if the game is doing mod support.

I fail to see how having restricted set number of certain items will mean you absolutely have to server hop? If anything it means the opposite since server hopping for specific items will be pointless if said item is no longer in the rotation due to reaching its limit.

Another reason to get rid of public servers and have 1 character per server. Soon as that happens all these servers will cease to exist.

g36 is sold to civilians now ?

Yea the mighty German Army with their tactical broom handles. http://www.breitbart.com/london/2015/02/19/german-army-reduced-to-using-broom-handles-instead-of-rifles/ Germany really does need to step up their military budget I don't even think they contribute their 2 percent of their gdp anymore as part of nato. Germany only had a little over 5k troops in Afghanistan btw not a whole lot at all.

If that were the criteria for mounting things then yea I can mount an SKS on a broom too with a special mount. My point is would it really make sense to find these highly specialized mounts in Eastern European country sides ? Having the AKM also have a side rail makes little sense since the most common ak models did not have side rails and it was not only until the akm-n that side rails were added and those were issued in crazy low numbers.

If it stops people from server hopping im all for it.

Even that makes no sense. Germany has a super small military currently what makes you think they would even have the logistical capability to swiftly deliver german made guns to rural Russia. Chance are they would be prepping their own defenses and or getting overwhelmed themselves. Even the US I don't see helping out in such a situation their responsibility would lie in securing the homeland and ensureing the problem is contained in the states long before they send weapons or personnel to rural parts of the globe.

Realistically i can't even envision that. Foreign militaries would be too busy containing their own zombie population.

Let's also not forget that the elevation adjustments only go up to 300m in game when in real life its 1300. Lastly the sks should not mount the pu and even if mounted the elevation adjustments would not work for the 7.62x39 round coming out of the sks.

incomplete and unfinished damage model - aka no way in hell a .357 magnum should ever do more damage than a 7.62x39No internal magazine spawning with the gun + scarcity of magazinesNo optics yet Thats pretty much it.

Bullshit, the community at large has accepted and actually like the stamina system in Arma 3. Initially it took some tweaking but atm its pretty darn perfect. The stamina works perfectly fine as soon as people get it through their thick head that sprint is only for use in extreme cases and only used sparingly.

Although I know an injury system is coming out eventually I had an idea on how bleeding should work based on reality. Basically the game should model the main arteries of the human body along with major organs. Bleeding rate should be determined by the location of the gunshot, graze wounds with mild bleeding, arterial hits and organ shots leaving the player almost dead and bleeding profusely. Sprinting while bleeding should increase the bleed rate dramatically as you are forcing your heart to pump blood faster thus draining already diminishing blood reserves.

That was always a tenement of dayz but who knows if that will change due to the body armor. Let's just hope the game does not suffer like Arma 3 did because of body armor.

I rather they not add it. The map is small enough as it is, then theres the whole realism aspect of random survivors who are civilians somehow magically being able to not only pilot but maintain a maintenance heavy vehicle like a helicopter.

It is not pointless. the entire point of the global loot system is to give the devs a means to monitor the in game loot and how it affects gameplay and then as a result be able to adjust it in real time from their end and monitor the changes. This would remain the same with one server one character. They can still micro manage loot and thus gameplay even accross single server ecosystems.

No. global loot would remain unaffected. You would in effect have a central control over all loot just not be able to trade and transfer loot across servers. The devs could still have set number of certain items, control the spawn rate and dynamicly change the drop rate of things. All better balanced imo since it would eliminate all server hopping.

Single server single character, ghosting solved as are like a dozen other problems.
