  1. You can do things outside of destroying the image quality of the game to demonstrate to a player that he is really ill. Things like passing out, sluggishness, hurt animations, unresponsive controls are all 100x better than ruining what would otherwise be a really pretty game. The Red jelly on screen, black and white camera when hurt needs to go its such a lazy way to demonstrate to the player he is hurt.

    Bohemia interactive PLEASE READ

    Bohemias key to success is VBS3 not dayz. The amount of money they made from Dayz is tiny compared to what they do from selling virtual mil sims to the Armies of the world.

    Ruger 10/22--My future hopes (Archangel kit)

    Conversion kits are usually expensive. If you wanted a 22 lr ar what you do is buy something cheap high quality like the M&P 15/22. It costs only a tiny bit more than a 22 lr kit and now you have an additional rifle.
  4. Yea any modern 60 + pound compound bow with any sort of hunting tip would absolutely destroy a human being. Far quicker than any pistol round outside of heavy magnums.

    Ruger 10/22--My future hopes (Archangel kit)

    Tacky stock. Plain old regular 10/22 would suit me fine.

    GPS and in-game map markers

    Hope it never makes itself back. What should work perfectly fine is simply looking at your gps and getting the coordinates and then manually finding yourself in the map.

    Fix (not remove) Third Person Perspective

    Absolutely. Fpv players and more importantly the only part of the community that matter the people who have been here since day 1. The hardcore players who were here from Operation flashpoint want tpv gone they want pvp to be fair and just.

    Explosions?!

    Theres like 5 threads on this every single day, learn to use the search function. There really should be some kind of 100 post or so limit before you can make a new thread.

    All guns one shot kill = more authentic

    Thats the reason why I wish Stand alone had the mods damage model instead. Nothing was really one hit kills and when you got engaged there was always a sliver of hope to come out alive.

    good idea to rid the coast of bambi hunters,

    I like the idea. I truly wish one day they develop a completely random spawn method. You could spawn in the middle of the woods or you could spawn right by the north west airfield base it should be completely random this way the entire map is populated and every part of the game is nerve racking.

    All guns one shot kill = more authentic

    Although I agree with nearly everything you say and I am all for more realism in Dayz. I am all for realistic weapon ballistics, accuracy, elevation scope adjustments etc. The one area that I feel is far better being unrealistic is the damage model. Nothing is more satisfying in the dayz mod than shooting a person with the m24 from 600 meters seeing that player scramble bleeding only to pass out and then finishing the player off while he is in the ground. I sort of wish the game stuck to this pseudo realism damage model but instead of adding the complete randomness of passing out it added knockdown mechanics, if a high caliber round such as a .308 hit you from long range while it would not immediately kill you it would knock you down where you would not be able to move for a short time.

    Should Cannibalism be in DayZ?

    Again who the heck will ban this game ? Nobody is going to bother banning a nitch, mil sim pvp survival game that you cannot even buy in the stores. The game is purely digital through steam it wont get banned anywhere.

    Should Cannibalism be in DayZ?

    The game wont be banned anywhere because of cannibalism what a silly notion.

    Should Cannibalism be in DayZ?

    Kuru does not happen because you eat a dead body. The reason the disease spread in Papua New Guinea was because people were eating the flesh of those already infected with it thus contracting it themselves. Those infected were then in turn eaten by others and the disease spread in the small island. If you eat non infected fresh human flesh you will be perfectly fine , no shakes, no disease.
  15. What if it is broken. People rarely venture out and stick to 3 cities in chernarus. Meanwhile other maps like taviana had people in every corner of the map. Even takistan seemed to have better player distribution.
  16. I am going to state what will probably be a rather controversial opinion but here goes. I think they should just embrace what Dayz has turned into and what really it always was. A sandbox PVP game with survival aspects. Any of these features will just result in people playing exactly the same way as they have been, Instead they should polish on what made dayz popular , PVP, Mil sim qualities aka realism, and loot.

    Coastal vs Northern Population Trends

    This is a huge problem. I think part of the problem is the spawn system. Spawning in the coast would work if the map was one big island and spawns were completely all the way around like in Taviana. However for chenarus it seems people just stick around cherno and electro and now balota and the rest of the map is empty.

    Unarmed character speed

    players move too fast with or without weapons. The strafing in particular seems insanely off I have never seen anyone in real life move with as much agility as Dayz survivors, they can shift directions from left and right with insane ease. No delay, no penalty to movement speed or responsiveness, they can strafe at will. Really odd game decision.

    Magnum revolver vs FNX45?

    arent they about the same now ? With the new damage model just about everything is super deadly.
  20. Hey man I called dibs like back in 2004.

    Do you agree with modding in SA?

    The zombies are janky and frankly they add nothing to the game. Random walking zombies that just frustrate the player suck. Game is 100x more scare with just players and increased player counts. The road features 0 zombies but the cannibals in that movie are 100x scarier than any zombie can be. Humans by nature are horrifying .

    Lets talk about the community

    The community has turned to shit imo. The games popularity brought in the masses and their influence is not welcomed. They will turn dayz into a mass market game that is easy to play, forgiving and arcade friendly. Things like random dispersion, third person view, and convenient spawns are just signs of where this game will end up. The game is slowly turning into a casual mass market game not the unforgiving, mil sim, survival game.

    Fix (not remove) Third Person Perspective

    It doesnt really fix anything at all. people would just wait around a corner without a weapon take out their weapon and then attack at the right moment.

    Do you agree with modding in SA?

    You know how stupid this sounds right. You are not supporting mods for a game that started off as a mod just because lol
