Yea I have noticed the shots are hitting to the far left at long distances.

Weapons just lying around for years without proper maintenance would be inaccurate however.

Absolutely not then we will have people spawn rouletting again. What needs to happen is the removal of coastal spawns and no suicide option unless you have a weapon.

Any idea if they added wind into the equation now ? or are shots that are hitting left and right just due to the dispersion ?

Hopefully the m4 is the highest end weapon in the game.

The weapon lists are sounding amazing. I honestly hope the m4 is the highest end gun we get maybe rpg7s but thats it. Along with those civilian weapons I would love to see more popular civi weapons. Glock 19 m1911 M&p Savage hog hunter .223 Remington 700 Cz 527 in 7.62x39 Savage mark II 22.lr ruger 22/45 remington 870s Etc. Hopefully there are mainly if not only civilian weapons.

Heres how you end player killing you dont It will always happen get used to it.

One can only hope. Civilian should be the one word that keeps getting repeated over and over again while the game is being made. If we put in helicopters would civilians know how to repair and fly them ? If we put 50 cals in would your normal civilian bother carrying around the 30 pound gun and know how to operate it ? Basically I hope if a civilian would not know how to use it then its not in the game. Keeping stand alone civilian heavy and letting the mods for it focus on military loot and vehicles would work out best. Most people and I mean the vast majority of people are not hunters or farmers. If the game takes place in some Eastern European nation then the number of people that shoot regularly let alone ever even held a gun drops dramatically. You day to day soccer moms, and auto mechanics do not know how to shoot let alone properly maintain firearms.

Eating most flesh rate makes you sick. Human flesh does not give people the shakes or any diseases. Eating the brain does however.

Cannibalism is a must. also there is no sickness associated with eating human flesh this only happens if you eat the human brain. Eating just the flesh is perfectly fine.

Loving how the weapons arent completely super accurate unlike the mod. It works because these survivors arent highly trained soldiers just regular civilians.

God no.

Range would be identical its the exact same rifle in the exact same chambering. m24 is just an remington 700 with a few minor differences base of the weapon is still the civilian hunting rifle that millions of people world wide have. I agree. M24 would make little sense in dayz. A remington 700 that a farmer was using as a hunting rifle would be far more plausible.

That third option would be perfect. Bunch of civilian weapons ruger 1022s, savage 22 bolt action rifles, remington 700s in 223 and .308, cz 527 in 7.62x39 Remington 870s, mosberg 500s , Coach guns side by side shotguns. Then only a few ultra rare military weapons such as the m4, ak47, svd and rpg7s. No crazy rare weapons like the fn 2000, scar l or h, no tavor, no acrs or any of that other goofy stuff. Pick only guns that would make sense.

Probably not a bug but a feature. It would reduce the m4s role to a medium to close range weapon, if you want long range accurate shots you use a precision firearm. Would limit the jack of all trades guns from the mod.

I agree coastal spawns are stupid and are the biggest reason the map feels so empty. Spawning in land would promote exploration and random player encounters. Meanwhile spawning on the coast leads to 95 percent of players just sticking to the coast so they can pvp.

Funny that you mention the m24 and consider it to be the rarest. that is a Remington 700 the 2nd most popular gun in the world. Estimates say there are over 10 million of these guns in circulation. The m24 and m40 rifles are basically remington 700s chambered in .308 built to the specifications that the USMC and US Army wanted. The remington 700 your average joe buys for 500 dollars is just as accurate as the m24 and m40.

Yea and those military weapons will consist of ak47s ak 74s and maybe some svds. Not m4s, scar hs, fn 2000s or any of the other stupidly exotic and rare weapons people on the forums seem to suggest. Easy way to solve this is to just include civilian weapons at first make them prevalent then slowly trickle in subtle military weapons that make sense.

I like that the weapons arent shooting dead on accurate. It shows that these weapons have not been maintained and are not in the best condition. It will also make firefights fun.

They need to remove all of the coast spawns. Spawns should be randomized and dynamic no set spawn locations. Instead it chooses a random spot in the wilderness to spawn you in. This would lead to the map being more populated and the current stupid meta game of going up north to find gear only to run back south to pvp will be gone. So I repeat remove all coastal spawns only in land spawns .

This is thread is prime example as to why Rocket should listen to the community as little as possible and just create his own vision of the game.

only one solution. Private hives . Having a global character that is not tied to each server was stupid anyway. Server hopping and ghosting will always happen on the crappy public hives thats why everyone moved to private ones in the mod.

This is one of the few cases where that logic does not apply. Less weapons , more rare they are the better in dayz. Atleast with military weapons and vehicles. With the new system in place however he can actually control the total number of set weapons throughout all the servers so sure he could have the m107 in game but he can control it so only 2 spawn in all the servers combined.

I hope rocket continues to push Dayz into a more realistic and civilian heavy game. If anyone here has watched the movie the road it has what I would consider ideal for Dayz. The bandits aka cannibals in the movie were armed with civilian bolt action hunting rifles with hunting optics along with hunting shotguns and self defense pump action shotguns. No m4s no ak47s no as 50s no m107s no scars. This is what I hope dayz turns into. Not arma 2 with zombies.

Promote good behavior ahah wtf is this shit.
