You know you can use any controller you want in the pc right. either way hopefully that means it never comes on consoles would just be a waste of time that takes resources away from the pc version.

Ahhhhhh yissss civilian weapons.

Stop port beggin wont happen.

Pretty easy suggestion I know I am not the only one who gets annoyed by grass when setting up a shooting position while prone. I would love the ability to permanently or atleast flatten grass for a long long time so setting up shooting positions while prone is more viable. Would be nice to set up dynamic shooting positions while a clear view in front of you.

They should keep 20 round mags around however if they ever decide to put in a mk12 spr.

Classes open up a whole can of worms. However I really see them doing this eventually. Not sure how they would even handle this aspect. I suppose the way they could handle classes is in a realistic way. Give each class contextual "powers" that they would have in real life. For example the hunter class would have been an experienced hunter before the epidemic hit and thus is an expert at skinning animals and gets more meat out of them. Also in his years of experience he has learned to stalk game and thus makes less noise when walking and running in the wilderness . As long as the classes are realistic I am ok with it.

Dayz comes from military simulator roots. Had the mod been an arcade fest then nobody would complain.

That is what is required to install a short eye relief scope on the mosin. Do you now see why its impractical to have anything but a pu scope be useable on the mosin. Pu scope mounts onto the side rail of the mosin. Pu scope makes perfect sense. Mounting picatinny rail scope on the mosin is flatout impractical though. Because it is realistic you should read this book its really good and super insightful. We literally are designed to run. You will hear me complain about anything in the game that isnt realistic. The medical system needs a complete redesign, putting a piece of cotton on a gunshot would should not magically stop the bleeding, they should look at ACE mod for inspiration when it comes to the medical system. as far as advanced weaponry, small arms are anything but advanced, they are a few centuries old and a far less refined and skilless way of defending oneself. You can teach any person to shoot a gun and not only that be effective with it in a 5 minutes time.

That wont do a daam thing. Ammo is relatively scarce now, well outside of 5.56. If you give most players 2 bullets they will try their darnest to use those 2 bullets to kill another player. Ammo availability has 0 impact on people killing each other. In fact there is zero i mean nothing you can do to stop kos.

Sounds good but after they add other guns that fit the setting first. Makarov needs to be the next pistol.

Heh they need to hire the guys at the ACE team. Best arma 2 modders IMO. ACE fixes everything wrong with arma 2 and stuff that is still wrong in arma 3. Deployable bipods, blood trails, fixes the inventory system, realistic bullet ballistics, adds wind , fixes the clutter of the scroll wheel menu, fixes the audio and positioning. If Dayz were to adopt ACE's features it would be the most realistic and brutal survival game.

I vote for this. If the player kills themselves by suicide he gets a 30 minute timer before he can play again. This frees up resources on the server and it no longer has to keep track of the hundreds of bodies these kids create in the server maybe the bodies can stay for longer than 10 minutes.

I believe your reading comprehension might be sub par. There is nothing that I suggested that would make the game easier. It is entirely based on things you can and would do in reality and it would add much needed depth to the game.

This is exactly what I suggested but a contextual option to flatten the grass for a longer period. Could be something as simple as pressing f5 and then an animation plays with the player yanking out grass or smashing the ground near the front of him down. What this would in turn do is just flatten the grass in front of the player for a longer duration for example instead of 30 seconds or so that it does in game now it would flatten it for 1 hour of in game time. It could add to the immersion too. say you get shot at by a sniper then decide to hunt him, all you find is a small area of flattened grass and 1 or 2 pieces of his brass lying there. You now know where he fired at you from.

Thats pretty much what I am suggesting. The ability to flatten the tall grass just like you would if you roll over it but for a longer "permanent" time period. Would be useful for setting up a sniper position deeper into a forrest for example by flattening the grass in a straight line back and then having a good window of flattened grass to shoot from. This however of course make you more visible since the grass would no longer hide you. Not sure how the word exploit even got brought up.

You don't it was not realistic anyway. Mounting a short eye relief modern glass to an old mosin nagant is quite a pain in the ass and requires quite a bit of gunsmithing. Not something your average joe could do especially not a survivor with no gunsmithing experience or tools. The pu scope should be the only scope for the mosin. The long range should get completely redone, it should get mil dots a fixed power and only be mountable on modernish hunting rifles.

Jesus do you not know how weapons work. A piece of plastic on the bottom of a gun will not make the gun magically shoot better moa. A compensator only redirects gas upward to control recoil. None I repeat NONE of those things do anything to shift point of impact on a weapon. Why do idiots bother to respond when they don't have a clue as to what they are talking about ? It not even rocket science its just common sense. A bipod helps a shooter control the weapon when in the prone position helps him with sway but regardless of a weapon has a bipod or not the gun will hit at the same place. Here is another example for those that still dont get it. Take a mosin nagant and point it at a target, put that mosin in a vice and tighten it down extremely hard so it cant move. Fire. Now put a piece of plastic in the front a bipod now fire again. Guess what the weapon will hit exactly where the first shot went.

regulars for noobs.

Yea from my experience birdshot usually doesnt even have enough gas pressure to cycle most of the semi auto shotguns I have fired.

Those two appear to be police/military variants they have a long tube that holds lots of shells. One I posted was ment for hunting ducks only holds 3 rounds because of hunting laws.

Yea I am hoping for hunting variations and home defense, police etc tons of variations. They can balance them by giving them real life attributes. duck hunting shotgun = tighter pattern so longer range more damage but the shotgun choke does not allow use of slugs has hunting regulated 3 round magazine tubes Home defense = Wider pattern , typical 4 to 5 round capacity usually outffited with a side rail and flashlight . can fire slugs or buckshot Police shotgun = Normal pattern, extended tube normally found on department shotguns , holds over 7 rounds , ghost ring sights for good precision with slugs. They can easily balance the shotguns.

Regen is fine, when it actually works :/

Well I was only assuming it was heading in this direction due to the new things being added. New compensator that increases accuracy for instance.

Before stand alone came out my one hope for the game was that it would move closer towards realism and being authentic. I was hoping the game would have ultra realistic properties to the weapons, realistic ballistic system with wind and proper muzzle velocities and bullet trajectories, realistic wounds and treatment but nope. We instead are getting what appears to be a very mainstream game for the masses not the anti game that we expected.

I am with you Love the mod way more. Mod has far more mil sim aspects, stand alone however feels like it is washing down the game mechanics and consolizing the game by adding arcade aspects.
