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.

Then spend your own money and make your own vanilla server then. Like always you have a choice.

Naw I rather not see all these military sniper rifles. Rocket should continue to focus on civilian rifles that fit the same roles as these exotic expensive hard to find weapons you listed. M24, m40a3 = Replace with remington 700s a 20 inch version in .308 and a 22 inch varmint version in .223 remington. SVD could be added into the game and still fit into the setting, easily found weapon . VSS = no chance of finding that in any civilians hands a good substitute that is believable would be a ruger 1022 with a suppressor. High bullet drop, low volume, low damage. As for high powered sniper rifles like 50 cals no way they should ever be in dayz stand alone. Highest powered rifle I would ever expect in civilian hands would be .300 rum its a high powered hunting round for big game at extended ranges.

Stop complaining if you want night join a 24/7 night server :/ You always have a choice.

SVD I don't actually have much of a problem with. SVD has low magnification is pretty darn common. when it comes to scoped weapons I hope they follow a formula when developing them. 1. High magnification optics can only be outfitted in bolt action rifles. 2. Second focal plane optics with various ranging reticles. 3. As little variable scopes as possible we need common fixed power scopes in common powers such as 10x and 8x. Also I hope the accuracy of the weapons is reduced depending on the ammo. So say you find a box of surplus 7.62x54r you will get 3 moa at best with it so using it to shoot at man sized targets past 400m would be pretty futile with a high chance of missing. Say you find some match ammo however it results in a much more accurate shot although initial accuracy still depends on the weapon used.

I am just hoping we do not see any semi auto high scoped weapons. DMR should never come back. Meanwhile tons of different hunting rifles, and varmint rifles would be welcomed.

Guba has become my favorite new city.I cant wait to see it build up thing that sucks though is since everyone spawns on the coast I will rarely if ever get any visitors.

They should take that approach all of the spawns should be in land no coastal spawns. This would encourage people to venture north and explore leading to more dynamic situations.

Everything is fair game for pvp. This entire anti kos thing is pathetic too the idea that you could somehow encourage people to not shoot on sight is hilarious. People will always kill on sight no matter what.

Color degration when hurt is flat-out lazy. Ruining the graphical fidelity of the game is unacceptable.

God daam man why didnt you just post in one of the other hundred kos threads instead of making yet another useless thread.

Pretty much. When private hives crop up you will see role play servers crop up slowly these have strict no kill rules but its always fun to join and spoil their fun.
