Another whine thread. KOS is not a problem nor has it ever been, it has no solution and no number of ideas would stop it. If you dislike what dayz has become perhaps try to play another game.

Who in their right mind would saw off a 5k dollar hunting rifle.

Personal feelings of military weapons (and future weapons) in this game
gibonez replied to Demoth's topic in General Discussion
Melee and zombies just make sense. I honestly cant think of any situation where I would use a firearm against a zombie because of the noise and fear of bringing in more zombies. -
Personal feelings of military weapons (and future weapons) in this game
gibonez replied to Demoth's topic in General Discussion
Yea the game is still evolving and apparently now they are moving towards more of a low tech caveman style game. Alot more improvised weapons and crafting will be a major part of the game apparently. The zombies were removed and replaced with mutated animals . -
Personal feelings of military weapons (and future weapons) in this game
gibonez replied to Demoth's topic in General Discussion
Yea the crafting in Rust can get rediculous such as crafting m4s and modern shotguns. I think since then they have removed all of the military weapons or atleast they are intending to just like they already removed zombies. -
So you are saying we can make more guns than we can make ammo for them ? There are stockpiles upon stockpiles of ammo for the weapons in the game. There is little chance of ammo being scarce for these military caliber weapons.
-
Thats the thing ammo is plentiful especially the ammo currently in game. The ammo currently in game atleast for rifles are cheapo mil surp 7.62x54r and mil surp 5.56. The ammo is in high availability and its dirt cheap and easily found all over the world. I mean it comes in a spam can of 440 rounds and a case has 2 of em with a little soviet can opener. Realistically in a scenerio like dayz ammo would be plentiful atleast for military caliber firearms. 9mm, 5.56 nato, 5.45x 39mm , 7.62 nato, 7.62x54r, 7.62x39 all would be extremely abundant. .Just about every other caliber might be hard to come by however.

Fn Fal , and a g3 would actually be commonly found weapons in eastern Europe and the middle east.

Why think of it that way ? Think of it in what makes sense to have in the game. The mini 14 sure can be seen as a downgrade over the m4 but it is a cheaper rifle, widely available and has been successful for years now. It would make sense to see that. A m14 would absolutely not make sense to see, not a ton of full auto m14s out there any more not within the military and not in civilian hands. If you are refering to the m1a the civilian m14 then sure there are a few out there but they arent really that common due to their insane prices and far better .308 semi auto rifle options in the civilian market.

That is what I usually think of when I think of a ranch gun. The other ranch gun atleast what I think of when the word is brought up is the Ruger gunsight scout. Cool affordable bolt action gun with good iron sights, handy length, magazine fed rifle that can take optics in long eye relief or short eye relief varieties, it works great with red dots and holo graphic sights. Cool very handy rifle.
-
Easy way to fix that is to remove the LRS from the mosin and give that to the B95. B95 easily mounts any hunting or tactical long range optics with any set of rings, the mosin cannot take any rail mounted optics unless you do substantial gunsmithing to the gun. Pu scope only for the mosin, b95 has option for lrs.

Do you play Experimental version or Regular, and why?
gibonez replied to wmike20052's topic in General Discussion
Regular when I actually play. The game has gotten a bit dull so its more fun for me to let it go for a long stretch of time then spend some time discovering everything that is new. -
Only two things i want to see removed from Dayz = zombies and TPV. Zombies imo add nothing but frustration and server strain to the game, focusing on more survival aspects and persistence would make for a more fun game this is entirely my opinion though, I always thought the idea of zombies in dayz was a gimmick. TPV well we all know why.
-
Yea that is a modified mosin using hand loads. Using a surplus mosin with a hex receiver like the one in game and mil surp ammo like the ones in game you would be lucky to get 400m hits consistently. The fact that you can hit stuff at 1200m in game is crazy. Surplus mosins are fine rifles for 100 dollars, but compared to a new bolt action rifle even a cheap entry level hunting rifle like a savage axis, the mosin in comparison is a piece of shit.
-
For many of us it will be. Will some stop and roleplay or do other activities once they get included such as hunting of course. I however will continue to just pick up a weapon and roam around looking for players to kill with little regard to my character.
-
I am not wrong. KOS will never ever be gone. It is the playstyle that people choose not out of necessity but because it is fun.

(All other Console discussion)DayZ Standalone Might See an Xbox One Version in Future
gibonez replied to Plimax (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
While entirely possible, Bohemia has a bad bad bad history when it comes to Console development. They should stay in their comfort zone and not make another mistake. Let outdated consoles stay where they are and push forth with pcs. -
Who says Dayz is a large scale mmo ? It is no different than any other large scale fps. Only difference is dayz waste alot of resources on crappy janky zombies and has an ultra large map. Plenty of thoer large scale fps have physics.

Now we have zeds respawning... what about the loot ?
gibonez replied to Rancor's topic in General Discussion
No take out zombies and then the game can truly become what they intended it to be. Focus on survival and realism , crafting and base building. Trust me man zombies add nothing at all to the game or the mod. Alot of players seem to think zombies are the solution to stopping banditry and kos but think about it for a second, you very well know that nobody will stop killing on sight unless its beneficial to simply not put yourself in danger all together. You do that by rewarding players who stay alive and surviving. -
Maybe people don't want to be bothered with your idea of role play. Honestly for PVE to ever take off in any shape or form Private Hives need to be released and within those private hives a community that likes pve needs to open up a server. You will never find a normal server where people will willingly pve, no fun in that for 99 percent of the community.
-
Why ?
-
Dayz is flawed because right from the beginning it had zombies instead of focusing on just survival and player interaction it now has to waste resources and time on having zombies. These gimmicky zombies add nothing at all to the game in any stage of the game, even in the mod they served only to annoy the player and alert bandits that there was a player in a town. In stand alone all they do is hinder performance and restrict player count.

Now we have zeds respawning... what about the loot ?
gibonez replied to Rancor's topic in General Discussion
What makes you think zombies have any effect on curving that ? You want to know what makes people not instantly kill ? Having things to do such as building bases, resource gathering, hunting, farming, having bases with groups and factions. Retaliation from one group on your home is what stops people not janky buggy zombies that are as cliche as ever. -
Is circlestrafing/zigzagging ever going to be fixed?
gibonez replied to MagneticToast's topic in General Discussion
I have gotten insanely proficient with using alt to move my head. When it releases I will be using a occulus rift so head movement will be even easier.
