Ahh yiss a 300 yard shot on video after what multiple attempts outside of camera using a modern 21 century compound bow and modern arrows. Thats how war bows are used. Now take the in game bow that has a draw strength of what 30 lb if being optimistic and using home made arrows . You honestly think they can be the same as whats shown in that video.

See that is reasonable . A crafted bow hitting 3 groups at 30 yards is perfectly reasonable but stretching that out to 100 yards is really reaching .

You are not going to be hitting any point target at 300 yards. I am not saying bows have not been used at those distances in the past but they were used as part of volley fire large numbers of men firing at area targets occasionally hitting due to volleys. You arent going to be hitting further than 50 yards at a point target. This is with modern compound bows with good sights too , a makeshift bow ahah good luck. Sure you might find a video of a person hitting something at those ranges after lots of editing and camera magic. It does not mean its feasible you would have a far far easier time hitting something at those ranges with just about any firearm. Yes bows are outdated equipment they are used for hunting not because they are good but because it makes hunting more challenging.

Survival should be annoying. You think finding water and finding food is fun ? of course not they are annoyances that are natural and part of survival, defecation would tie into this but more importantly it would tie into diseases and infection mechanics.

Ahhh the good ol but dean its too realistic thus not fun please make more unrealistic.

Sniping with a bow huh. It's a bow what did you expect for it to be god tier weapon ? It's a starter weapon and an outdated one at that of course it will suck.

Infection Spreading of disease adding yet another basic human requirement for survival It could be tied to a nutricion mechanic that forces the player to eat a balanced diet to avoid diarrhea or constipation aka no more eating only fruit or beans. It could be used as a survival mechanic to track players having players see the human scat as a sign of nearby player activity. There are lots of reasons why defecation would make sense in dayz things that would add not only to realism but the gameplay itself.

Yup thats the benefit of 4th wall mod + an adjusted third person view camera. Everyone wins.

Or they could use that with a new camera position. The combination together would ensure that pop up would almost never be visible.

Neither do I. Both would need to be not only in but really fleshed out before character sleeping is ever viable.

That is a valid complaint however that rarely happens and even when it does happen what do you really lose ? You just start over again in another server and with some time and effort you are back where you started. I just see it as one of those things that needs to be done and will be for our own good. Kinda like vaccination children hate it but after a while when they are adults they will realize that it was the best solution all along.

Ultimately it's the best solution. If people don't like it then they can wait for a mod or play another game. The current hive character implementation is horrible and has always been terrible.

The situation in rust before the reboot was people banded together due to necessity and worked together to build what could be described as small towns in order to watch out for each other when not playing. The possibility to lose everything you worked on when you are not in game is a scary but awesome part of rust. It brings forth great gameplay elements such as rivalries between groups, the desirability to go into super remote regions if you are going to solo. Even when you lose everything is it really so bad ? Isn't that part of what Dayz should be ? That is not at all what happens in rust either. Your character never needs sleep , he just goes to sleep when you are not logged off. Let's not kid ourselves the game is extremely easy atm and nowhere near as hard it should and needs to be. No stamina yet No realistic run speed No weight system Abundant weapons and ammo Abundant food and drink Obviously a rust style sleep system would be one such feature that would help make the game better and harder.

It's not about it being needed or not its about something making the game better because it exists. The game does not need guns, does not need zombies, does not need hunger right ? but they all improve the game. The sleep mechanics suggested work and they work really well in rust. They would work great in dayz too and would help make the game even more brutal as it should be. Game is far too easy.

Thats why Dayz needs one unique character per server too. Not only for allowing an idea such as this one to be possible but to fix the countless other problems added due to the stupid hive system spawning.

Shotgun elevation adjustments has to be a bug. This is especially true when the shotgun has a bead sight. The sporter also does not have elevation adjustment on its irons I believe the front and rear sight are non adjustable fixed sights. As for the iron sight zoom that is strange.

I hope they remove the Zelo base next. Green mountain military loot should also be reduced. Ideally only 1 or 2 reliable military loot locations in the map + the dynamic helicopter loot would work.

they also removed the mask + ballistic helmet combination due to clipping and then fixed it. I am sure the clipping will get fixed and they would not introduce more clipping through character creation

1. Remove the AKM drum mag. 2. Reskin the drum mag into an RPD Drum. 3. Introduce a RPD. Now you might ask yourself why, why go through all this ? The answer is quite simple this would allow the AKM to be an assault rifle and high capacity magazines would be restricted to Light Machine-guns creating a better hierarchy when it comes the firearms than what is currently in the game.

One word why it wont happen. Clipping.

Those tears would delicious too.

Whenever they have time for it. Vehicles will play such a minor role in the finished game that I really wish they would focus on other things first and leave vehicles as one of the final things to polish up.

All the more reason why the b95 was such a strange addition to the game. A 5k dollar hunting rifle surely they can afford a scope and a mount on it. There has to be a more realistic more common double shot rifle that is common in Russia right ?

One server one character. The only solution to this problem and countless others. The central hive system letting you switch between servers was always a mistake and terrible feature. This at its heart was why private hives dominated the mod.

They don't have to be replaced. They can just be pushed back and made extremely rare. The Glock 21 would fit the bill as the .45 auto pistol that is prolific all over the world, the amphibia replaced with a regular non silenced variant, as for the python there are plenty of revolvers in .38 special and .357 magnum that fit the bill.
