That wont happen even with bolt action rifles unless they completely change the Sniping and elevation adjustment in Dayz so it is like ACE aka real life.

Agreed everything in the game should be as close to real life as possible. Everything from the shooting ballistics, medic system even the sniping system needs to be as close to real life as possible. Only possible way to balance the game out real life will balance it.

Only solution is to get rid of the stupid global hive system its the root of all the problems. Each server has its own hive, gets rid of the stupid ghosting, combat logging, server hopping.

Yea absolutely nothing rocket does will change the pvp. Best thing he can do is embrace it and make it challenging.

Has anyone noticed that players do not render at longer distances ? It seems almost like past 500m players do not render at all in game. This seems like a severe downgrade from vanilla arma 2 and Arma 3. This also appears to be a strange choice given that buildings and trees render at much higher distances ~3000m meanwhile players stop rendering at 600-700m. Have you guys encountered this yet ?

3rd person view doesn't accommodate for anything it just lets you see around cover and over cover. The fov slider is what you ment.

I thought this thread was about the rpg7 and was about to agree.

It does not account for your eye able to focus on something in the distance it accounts for resolution. Human eye sees approximately 576 megapixels . Meanwhile the monitors do not even come close to that. While you can simulate the human eyes field of view what you can simulate yet is just how much detail and information our eyes can see.

Easy fix is to not have the crosshair be an accurate depiction of where the bullet will hit.

Do you plan on making a poll for the type accessories we wish to see in the game ?

Fact that you can make money by playing video games instead of actually making original content is so insanely stupid.

Being able to adjust your elevation on your weapon is a fantastic feature but one that is extremely inaccurate in dayz. ACE mod had it done perfectly. In ace weapons that did indeed allow you to adjust elevation by 100s of meters did so while weapons that did not in real life allowed you to adjust using moas or with weapons using metric turrets in mils. What I am proposing is Dayz take ACE's approach to realism when it comes to optics and iron sights. Weapons such as the m16 and m4 would continue to be allowed adjustments by 100s of meters because their rear sights work this way. Meanwhile this does not work for scopes aside from a very few select russian scopes. Western scopes need to be built to work on a wide variety of guns and different calibers therefore they are adjusted using a universal method of measuring either MOAs or mils. Instead of trying to explain and butchering and confusing you people on how optics are adjusted I will post 3 videos that comprehensively explain elevation adjustment on optics. Now you may be asking yourself why would you turn an easy super simplified mechanic into something difficult ? That answer is easy making precision shooting especially at long ranges difficult adds depth and complexity to one of the most difficult things to do in real life. Being able to take a rifle and shooting small targets out at 800m is not something you can just do one day it takes years of shooting experience and lots of practice to do. Now lets focus on what this system would do within the game. 1. Sniping within the game will automatically become more satisfying. 2. Dedicated snipers would have to make their own in game data books for each weapon. 3. The game would get much needed depth and complexity. How it works in ACE. What do you guys think. Would dayz benefit from adopting ACE's system for elevation adjustments ?

I have faith the devs will be willing to take a little bit of negative feedback in order to improve the gameplay tenfold.

It has nothing to do with being selfish its about populating the vastly empty map. It has to do with stopping the coastal towns from being constant battlegrounds where geared people kill fresh spawns, it has to do with adding more experiences than just spawning in cherno or electro finding a firearm then hunting for players.

Over Design can potentially be good. If only this applied to the way sniping worked in game too.

It doesnt matter what they want. It is for their own good. They will be thankful in the long run when its removed.

Your eyes also do not render images at 1080p. Human eye resolution is FAR FAR FAR FAR FAR higher than that. This is what the zooming in feature accounts for.

The devs will address the complaints about third person view I suspect they will just lock all of the servers to first person view eventually. Third person is just broken.

Absolutely not if anything they should remove all the coastal spawns and force people to explore the north.

Rifles - focus on civilian for the time being rifles that would be easily encountered. Ruger 1022, Remington 700 in .308 and .223/5.56, Savage mark 2 22.lr or Cz 455 22lr bolt action , Winchester model 70. Hopefully eventually when military firearms are introduced it make sense and not fn scars , 50 cals etc. Shotguns - Should be the bread and butter of the game most common weapon in the game, Coach guns, remington 870, Mosberg 500, Single shot combination 12 gauge and 22lr firearms. Pistols - You could really go wild in this category since just about every pistol military and police have access to so do civilians. Exceptions are select fire and full auto pistols of course. Smgs - Russian weapons would fit best.

Everyone was terrific in the movie everyone except the kid. The kid I felt was a terrible annoying brat.

Anyone know how detailed the damage model and hitboxes are in Arma / dayz ? Are are there hitboxes for the heart, for the abdomen, for the jaw, the brain ?

Lol What ?

Why are people fascinated with ghili suits ? They smell, are heavy, hot and make you look stupid. They don't obscure you any more than normal camouflage.
