:/ killing people is how I would survive. People are walking treasure chest + if cannibalism is added they would provide sustenance.

far more efficient to get your supplies from another player. Looting takes far too much time.

Even at 6 moa the m4 is nowhere near as accurate as even the crappiest off the rack m4 out of an armory.

I want bone crushing difficulty. I want to have to do some math on a paper and look at a dope chart that I hand drew before I can attempt to shoot a person past 300 yards. I want every single bit of the game to be as close to real life as possible using video game limitations.

Great suggestion the more sim aspects in the game the better.

You didnt play the mod did you ?

That is probably what bugs me the most about the game the sheer inconsistency of it. Some parts of the game are complex and deep and are awesome because of it like the new cooking system and the inventory system. Yet some parts of the game are downright arcade retarded like the dispersion and weapon attachment system and the character movement.

Here is a unique weapon that due to its inception is very viable for dayz and also because of the caliber it comes in. Serbian made mini mauser chambered in 7.62x39 so it would share ammo with the sks and akm. Another suitable rifle for this is the CZ 527 Nice highly maneuverable handy bolt action in 7.62x39

I am sure you guys have all seen it either in game or in playthrough videos but characters in Stand Alone have the agility of professional athletes. The dangers of the wasteland has instilled a strange behavior that is not natural in players. PLAYERS DO NOT STAY STILL. No matter what they do a player will always be moving around in random directions anxious that there is a random sniper training his aim on him or her. This leads to people moving and behaving in unrealistic and downright odd behavior. Nobody in real life would move in the way people move in dayz. People would outright wear themselves out too quickly or look like a lunatic moving side to side as they sprint through a clearing. Some Arma 3 mods have addressed this by putting in realistic tweaks to player movement that I feel help immerse the player into the game more and would be good for gameplay. 1. back stepping speed is reduced by 75 percent. Being able to move backwards at nearly the same speed as moving forward simply does not work in real life thus it should not work in game. 2. There is a slight delay between the time you can strafe or change directions. Basically strafing erratically in makeshift zig zag patterns does not work . The game however keeps your mouse movement as responsive as ever this only affects the players movement and not his ability to realistically look and aim. 3. Sprint speed is reduced to realistic levels. You can no longer sprint at 14 mph with these realism mods the number is brought down to a realistic level. Anyone else bothered by the responsiveness of the players movement and the unrealistic movement mechanics ?

That seems extremely fast. Thats probably because the movement speed was slower in the mod and the lack of any sort of stamina system.

Walking everywhere simply makes sense. even 10 working vehicles across a server would be too many.

The game really isnt ment to be playable right now and roll backs are honestly the smallest of the games problems. Far bigger fish to fry. Especially now that the core gameplay is pretty crappy.

Not a problem log out somewhere safe. If I had it my way your character would sleep in the server when you log off.

More so than stamina a weight system would be insanely important. I makes little sense to see players that are fully geared with 50+ pounds of gear if not more yet they sprint for miles and miles at insane speeds. Sprinting should be a last resort thing something you dont wana do unless you are going to die immediately. A fast walk or jog should be the primary means of transportation.

It is adhoc meaning the device sends out the wifi signal for it to connect on. They do not rely on any external internet connection they shoot out the signal itself. Think some handhelds like the psp and 3ds also use adhoc networks to play games between devices. Think of it as bluetooth, self powered transmission that sends out information. Except with a much longer range.

Cant wait for that dogfighting mode.

the game is fun enough without 1000s of vehicles in the game. Vanilla dayz should make cars insanely hard to maintain or even find yet like real life insanely easy to destroy. Cars should be insanely rare people should not sprint, or jog everywhere they should walk like people in reality do.

I like the idea of you spawning with one of those adhock wifi communicators. Think sony mylo. Anyone who has it turned on within 2 miles of the player can talk to each other or it can be ignored or turned off.

That is actually a very reasonable request. Surprised it has not been added yet. An Auto jog key would work out fine but I would imagine it would not be too useful if a stamina system gets added.

Yea and having cars and helicopters and everything available and easily fueled is not realistic. Where would the gas come from, who would be drilling for oil and refining the oil to keep the pumps full ? Where would this endless supply of car parts and gasoline come from ? People have walked for thousands of years they work perfectly fine as a form of transportation.

ughhh god no.

Vehicles are unimportant really. Most of the games travel should be done by foot. Even when the game is completed.

The one that gives you the option to turn it off or not. If people dont like side chat having the option to not see it would be good, however voice side chat sucks.

That are rendered useless due to the FOV increasing magnification thus rendering the ability to accurately range impossible.

Sad thing is there is nothing to gain from all that weight. The minimum required accuracy for nearly all of the military sniper rifles are downright bad compared to civilian rifles at half the cost. That xm2010 for example has shall not exceed 1.4 moa at 100yards. Meanwhile just about any Remington 700 will shoot 1 moa or under for a measly 500-700 dollars. Then you got custom civilian rifle builders that can guarantee 3/8 ths of an moa at 100 yards such as GA precision. If I was ever stuck in a SHTF situation I would never want to carry a heavy military sniper rifle, give me a lightweight deer rifle any day.
