We are getting a carbine .357 magnum in the form of the upcoming lever action rifle. Here is a suggestion for a .45 acp revolver. Great multi caliber weapon that fits in the survival setting. I know there has been some talk about adding .410 in the future adding a multi caliber revolver such as this one is one avenue to approach it.

Think op will be pleasantly surprised once people start modding the game.

I would gander mirroring all voice communication in game would at the very least force people to communicate more using in game coms.

Completely different things. The inclusion of realistic aspects especially things such as ACE sniping has the potential to enhance and enrich the gameplay in the game. ACE sniping in particular would make sniping hard as it is in real life thus eliminating all the 12 year olds from point and clicking like they are able to do so now due to the over simplified shooting mechanics that are in place now. All I am saying is if they do want to differentiate the mod from standalone now is their chance and everything they do including what content they introduce influences this.

I would go further than that. The mod was Arma 2. Dayz mod was just arma 2 with a few sprinkles of persistence and zombies. Standalone is their chance to set it apart and one way that they can do that as they have already done is by making it focused on regular ordinary human survivors.

Here is how the console gaming media feels about the announcement. Streamline and dumbing down the controls from the pc version. Either have more in depth more complex controls in the pc version and have the console version use a simplified more restrictive control scheme or potentially dumbing down both versions for the sake of the console version. I don't see the second option happening but its now an option.

I really hope that is not true. I really hope the server hoppers are only a small fragment of the community that are actively ruining the game for everyone else. As for this solution it is just a rough idea. It of course would get worked on by the devs to the point of perfection. The idea of moving the player away in a random direction serves to stop the problem as well as slow those that are insistent on server hopping.

No. If it were that simple nobody would complain the more the merrier more eastern weapons awesome. People including me complain because they wonder why there even had to be a compromise to begin with ? We wonder why there must be a need for restricting the number of calibers on why streamlining is even a factor.

The 101 complaining from me and others is not because of the weapon itself. The complaint is why it was added and the compromise it represents. A compromise alot of people see as unneeded. Adding the 101 means to alot of us a greater push to streamline the game and perhaps water down things.

I don't think people ever complained when the akm or any other Eastern Weapon was added. They complain when out of place western stuff is added.

Stand alone all weapons = 32 Dayz mod = 41 if you do not count variants of the same gun with say an acog so yea stand alone is getting really close to having just as many guns as the mod.

Log in timer has been tried in before and unlike my method actually would end up affecting non hoppers more than it would hoppers. With my idea anyone disconnected from a server would rejoin the server safely in the same location they logged off in. Anyone who is playing and wishes to join their friend would join and keep the same location so long as they only join 2 servers within an hour. It is only when you log in to more than 2 servers within an hours time that you get moved 1000m in a random direction.

Sure do you have any more ridiculous hypotheticals to use ? Every time someone brings forth a way to stop server hoppers the server hoppers come forth in force on how the solution would hurt regular players. How regular players shouldn't suffer for others exploiting the games mechanics for quick in game wealth. It is a dumb argument and it should no longer be used. Server hopping is a cancer in this game and it is one that leads to the negative player behavior seen in game.

Absolutely I am not saying the game has to move your position 1000m every single time you change servers. I am merely stating that it do so when it detects the player is abusing the system to gear up. It can do this in multiple ways such as a cool down for instance. When you switch servers the first time there is no cool down so your character spawns in exactly where you logged off. However if you try to join a 3rd server within the spawn of say 1 hour you keep getting moved around in random directions stopping you from gearing up that way.

How so. 99 percent of players would not be affected by it. Simply join the same server and the problem or the annoyance is gone. This would only serve to annoy one type of player and that is the server hopper who jumps from server to server trying to gear up quick so they can pvp.

That is probably because the amount of weapons in the game already is quite large. Aren't we already approaching if not passing the number of weapons from the mod ?

Anyone else read that with a British accent for some reason ?

It's going to happen. Get used to it and its great it will allow them to make everything extremely rare and limit high end guns like m4s and aks to small numbers.

Then you take the risk and spawn in at a different location from where you logged off. Play on the same server, wait for it to come back online after a restart this is usually minutes or log in to a new server knowing full well you will spawn in a random location . There is no punishing normal players and if there was its worth it to stop server hopping. also anyone explain the warz comment ?

The instances where non server hoppers would be punished is negligible and a perfectly fine. This is only going to hurt server hoppers in reality and it should server hopping and ghosting is garbage and it should not be a major factor in gameplay. I am sorry but what ?

As it should if you log into a new server. Stay on the same server and you will be fine.

we need more firearms at the low end of the spectrum in the game. We need more .22lr firearms.

Spawning needs to be completely random and in the wilderness. Having fixed spawns just leads to repetition and the map being poorly populated.

Future of Dayz is the mod community. As for gameplay the future is fluidity, dynamic gameplay and procedural spawns.

I do. This is supposed to be a world without food or resources a desperate wasteland yet there would be an abundance of tacticool rail kits for weapons ? That makes no sense. The grand grand majority of weapons should be iron sighted and barely working. It needs to feel and look like a zombie apocalypse set in an impoverished area. You also have to remember this isn't the US where gun nuts love making their .22lr rabbit rifles look like super operator rifle that operates hard while playing dress up with their cheaply bought mil surp clothing. As an American I find the gun culture here really strange and I do own guns quite a few of them but I find the people who buy body armor and wear it for a day at the range to be weird people. Those same people are the ones who bubba guns just because they can. I highly doubt something like that happens in a nation like Georgia for instance. American Gun culture is a very unique thing.
