this is what I don't understand. Why do people buy dayz and expect it to be a casual easy game. Did they not play previous Bohemia Interactive games, did they not play the mod ? Expecting Dayz to be anything but a realistic game seems ludicrous to me. Some of us have been playing Bohemia Interactive games since we were little children simple because they were realistic games something we simply cannot get with 99 percent of other games. I remember playing Operation Flashpoint back when I was maybe 9 or 10 on a Riva tnt 2 32 mb video card. I would play the demo for hours on end simply messing in the demo mission as every time I played it was completely different and realistic. Then I finally got a hold of the retail game at a target and installing the cd roms and spending what seems like hundreds of hours in the editor playing and messing with new addons that increased the games richness. None of that would have happened if Bohemia Interactive games were ordinary unrealistic arcade games. People followed them and built a community around these games because of their attention to realism and authenticity and their devotion to a healthy and vibrant modding community. Yet I keep seeing new players asking for unrealistic and unauthentic things that goes against all that.

Once persistent objects are added hopefully the bury option is removed and bodies stay in game for hopefully atleast several restart cycles. What would be nice is bringing back that scary flies buzzing sound and then having different models for the bodies in different states of decomposing. Having bodies that stay in game for long periods of time especially once dragging bodies is added would have lots of gameplay implications. Imagine using a body as bait in the middle of the road.

Yea the mvp series is cool although if they do add a cz varmint rifle I don't see a need for one. I also hope if they do add that cz varmint rifle it does not have iron sights and comes with a fixed power optic say a 10x mildot optic. The mvp series is a pretty unique rifle though I hate the flex series though. I said god daam at those velocity numbers.

Server hopping is another problem all together. Way I see it is controlling item spawning and having a finite number of items would be a great way of having ugly unsightly things removed from the game. Would be nice to see akms in their vanilla furniture due to the maximum number of rails and optics having been spawned out already. Accessories are the one area that this system would shine having expensive and rare optics such as the acog being heavily restricted would be fantastic. This system might ensure that iron sights play a far more prominent role and actually give items value again. Take the revolver for instance remember when it was first added only a handful of people had it and that was because no more were spawning it was only that half dozen and thats it. Everyone was intrigued by it and amazed to see one. This should be a thing for alot of items.

Yup but what I am saying is imagine if there was only 12 , 50 cals across all of the servers and everyone had to compete for these. The times you would encounter the 50 cal would be slim to none and thus the complaints of the 50 cal would not have been as vocal as they were. Even with the extremely low chance to spawn a 50 cal in the mod the guns were everywhere thus the only solution is a way to control the number of guns that spawn not just the spawn rate. Being able to dictate the total number of weapons or items across all servers is a great idea.

There is nothing to be offended about if you are a casual gamer it simply means you are less invested in gaming or you spend less time in gaming. It is a relatively new term made to describe the huge influx of previously non gamers who purchased consoles such as the wii. Yes you are kilo if you ever get a chance dude try ACE mod and mess with their self interaction menu. It is so much better than the scroll wheel, you get nice fancy menus that are intuitive for doing various things. I mean take this for instance this is a slam mine a relatively complex and cool anti personel / anti vehicle mine with an infared sensor that detonates when it detects movement in front of it. When it detonates it shoots a cone of copper towards the front of it sorta like a claymore it has various functions such as being allowing you to attach wires to detonate remotely, setting it on a timer, laying it flate on its back and detonating when the IR sensor is disturbed, sitting it on its side and detonating when movement is in front of it and lastly setting it and detonating after 4 hours of inactivity. All these things are easy to set and do because of the Ace interaction menu. All of the boxes are interactive and have various functions imagine how annoying this would be using the scroll wheel you would have a bunch of cluttered options.

That grey Laminate is sexy. I notice the twist rate is a 1:9 never been a fan of that twist rate in anything other than basic Ar15s. Really wish Manufacturers would make bolt guns in .223 with a twist rate of 1:8 or 1:7 to stabilize those heavier 77 grain bullets you can readily buy now. Those new bullets really stretch out the effective range on the guns.

I like the idea of there being a finite number of items across all servers. Say the introduce a SVD having only 1000 of these guns across all servers would be fantastic The problem isnt the loot control system but preventing and stopping server hopping something only private hives will do. how is this a bad thing ? It makes rare items actually rare People might have not complained about the 50 cal rifles in the mod had there only been a dozen of them across all servers. As for the KOS thing nothing in the game can be done to discourage or encourage this you cant change player behavior.

Biggest problem is not the buildings design but 3pp allowing you to camp the stairs while seeing downstairs.

At the end of the day the argument is simple. Streamlining ammo only does two things, it makes the game easier and it makes the game unrealistic and unauthentic which is a shame because in most parts it tries really hard to achieve those two things. You can't model a players blood type then have incorrect calibers and heal gunshot wounds to the head with a dirty rag.

That Game cameras use batteries man. They arent turned on until something triggers them. They take regular over the counter batteries.

It is not lag by the way its a design decision if that is going to be permanent or not who knows.

Ic was not aware of the barrel length difference. 25 inch barrel huh it must send those rounds out screaming.

Not sure why people keep insisting on things that make the game that much easier ?

Hopefully they remove the lrs next. Now that there will be more modern bolt guns that take modern scopes right out of the box.

Awesome. The more bolt guns the merrier. Are there going to be visual differences on them to differentiate the calibers? Such as a synthetic stock and stainless steel barrel or will they look the same?

Rule of thumb seems to be that military weapons are fine so long as they are of Russian origin. Nobody freaks out over that.

It looks like it has a compensator. I dont even think the barrel on a 527 is even threaded guess its being held on with magical anti dispersion super glue.

Don't forget 9x39mm too completely unique round High powerHigh accuracylow decibelshort range sniper rifle round And as you can see everything from medium range sniper rifles to pdws come in that caliber. Would put in more soviet and Russian firearms into the game and hopefully less western ones. Some of these could count into the ultra high end military loot.

3d model of it. Love the communities support of civilian firearms. They were indeed pissed and freaking out over the flashbangs earlier.

Truly wish they would just dump the attributes on accessories. Make them purely cosmetic thats it none of this goofy RPG crap stats on items. I thought they were going to dump it after the akm had no attachments that increased the accuracy. The cz 527 however apparently has a magical dispersion reducing attachment.

The respawn button is a bigger problem and makes the game worse. Simply put one persons suffering is worth it if it means it keeps gameplay elements alive such as blowing out a survivors knee cap then forcing to to crawl for hours before he can finally play again.

If you are attempting to conserve energy you walk. People in real life don't jog everywhere, they walk for a reason.

It is listed in every single gun barrel in every gun ever. It specifically tells you what ammo to chamber the gun with. Guns are pretty idiot proof.

On reddit ? Yea I figured that would happen those folks don't like military items in the game and raise a shitfit when military gear is announced or released.
