I for one am delighted with the new approach Rocket and team have taken with dayz. Optics on firearms are scarce and there seems to be an importance on civilian weapons and optics. I look forward to super expensive rare military optics that cost anywhere from 500-4k dollars being very scarce in stand alone or not even being included in the mod all together. Instead the mod should focus heavily on iron sights and realistic commonly found optics. So who here looks forward to 10x fixed power hunting optics, Hunting range finders, range finding ballistic ranging reticles and the super hard to find aimpoints, acogs and holographic sights ?

Yea they are acogs are 1200 bucks so they should be insanely rare in game. Loopys can be expensive but they have affordable good quality hunting and entry level tactical optics. Vortex,trijjicon, redfield, nikkon, weaver and swfa all make good entry level but feature packed scopes. Nightforce, Schmidt and bender, U.S. optics and zeiss make overpriced super expensive glass that is amazing but super duper expensive. Or they could include civilian hunting and golf range finders that have like a max range of 800 m and arent that accurate in. Civilian range finders are pretty affordable. 130-500 dollar range.

1. Removal of third person view mandatory on all servers with no option to enable it. 2. Weapon random dispersion fixed on the mosin stays same on m4 with ACE level wind added. 3. M4 made incredibly rare and the ruger 1022, ruger 22/45, Remington 700 , various shotguns and the sks becoming the normal weapons encountered.

128 player servers with random in land spawns no coastal spawns.

Honestly weapons should be more rare than ammo. Another aspect not explored is ammo types within the same caliber. One such example could be military spec ammo vs civilian hunting ammo. 7.62 x 51mm Mil spec ammo should be found in larger quantities have bad accuracy and when weapon maintenance is added they should degrade your weapon rapidly. 7.62 nato box contains 200 rounds of ammo. .308 winchester More accurate , slightly hotter than mil spec ammo with hollow points. These can be found in much smaller quantities of 20 rounds per box and can be found anywhere in civilian loot. You can do the same with 5.56 nato aka .223 remington or just about all ammo types.

People with nv scopes are incredibly expensive and rare in real life therefore they should not be in game. Nv scopes can cost as much as a used car.

quite the opposite

I think he means how objects in game arent the same dimensions as objects in real life would be so even an experienced person who could judge distance easily would struggle in game due to how perception is shown.

Not a problem. Just find a server that caters to your tastes and favorite it.

I honestly dont think the game has wind affecting bullets that might be the new random bullet dispersion.

Yea ideally the game will have hunting optics with basic ranging reticles such as mil dots that are actually useable so you can get ranges to things using known sizes of objects and persons height.

I believe this is why the zoom feature is in also. However you can use the fov slider to get the same amount of vision that you would get with tpv but now you cant cheat and peek around corners. With head bob down people should not get motion sickness and those that do should probably pick another genre.

Yea I noticed that also. Another thing I noticed is the aimpoint allows you to adjust the range too. Never used an aimpoint but arent they locked in at 100m I thought they lacked elevation adjustment ?

sometimes you need to restrict how or what the player can do for the overall good. Fixing a game breaking exploit like tpv is the better solution.

Same reason why helicopters should never make it into dayz either.

Theres an fov slider now crank up the fov while in first person and your awareness will reach the same level as third person view but you can no longer see around corners.

Accuracy is perfectly fine. If anything it makes the game better people are actually having firefights now that last longer than 2 seconds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqAptJYra3g

Ace's dispersion was perfect imo. combined with wind it made the gameplay far more challenging and rewarding.

Third person views removal will not increase or decrease kos at all it will remain the same people who kos all time will continue to do so. Only difference is now that other player or yourself cant cheat by peeking around corners before actually committing the shot.

I dont think dayz every claimed to be a simulation therefore these new changes are welcomed by me. What I am getting from this is that you need a weapon with all of its parts and in good condition to be able to hit anything at extended ranges ? If so its good.

Mics always on with no option to turn it off works. Broadcasts your voice in game and it would more intuitive also making communication with other players seemless.

Absolutely if something has to be removed in order to make the game better then it needs to be done even if some people do not like it.

Yup vast majority of players would just adapt to the lack of tpv. Eventually everyone will just look back and reflect on how broken tpv was and how it was terrible because it let you see over cover and obstacles.

Yea only solution would be to have the players character die when he disconnects in combat.

But alas 1st person is fixed now. FOV slider and option to remove or reduce head bob lets you custom tweak your fov to reach third person view level of vision without cheating and being able to see around corners. Now there really is no excuse for tpv.
