Powell (DayZ)

I only kill on sight in hotspots, such as heli crashes or airfields/military loot If I see some dude in a town or something, I give him the benefit of the doubt and approach as friendly. If he has high grade weaponry however, I would just ignore them completely

I love this thread

I've been okay.

YAY RUMORS

Feedback is very important, so I disagree.

This may be the most retarded post I have read so far. We should all be patient and support Rocket and the Devs, you cocksucker.

I was rolling with a M249, M107, MP5SD (all with full ammo), Alice Pack, etc etc then it hit me: "What the fuck am I doing with all this gear? I would NEVER carry a LMG or a .50 caliber sniper rifle with me during the zombie apocalypse. Why am I carrying it in DayZ?" So I dropped all the above listed items (including my alice pack) and started looting with only my makarov until I found a Czech Vest pouch, which I happily grabbed, and I found a winchester. From now on, I'll only carry my winchester, makarov, and Czech OR patrol (8) pouch. Of course I'll have a map, compass, etc. I know I'm not the only one who plays this game for the roleplaying aspect, to feel like I'm really in a zombie apocalypse. People need to understand this game isn't about the loot you have, its about the experience. Don't you think this is the way its supposed to be?

See, killing on sight is like an infection in itself now Bandit 1 kills survivor 1. Survivor 1 gets butthurt and becomes Bandit 2. Now Bandit 1 and 2 or killing more survivors, therefore creating more butthurt and more killing.

dumb as fuck mentality, theres absolutely no reason for that

no.

No wonder the damn crowbar was so weak, shit

Agreed. Having a partner with a CZ with 2 mags is far more interesting then some dude who's carrying a AS50 with 7 mags + ghillie. I don't know, to me its just more fun when zombies are actually a threat

Well you do make good points, are you seeing the whole picture? What I mean is, this mod is supposed to be geared to zombies, hence Day "Z". Everything else is a side. However, currently, there is too much in the game that steers players toward things that aren't zombie related. Also, I get you think that this a PVP-based game. But really, should it be? PS: This thread is sorta going off-topic

I noticed for a while that the Winchester reloads in a good 3-4 second range or whatever. Now realistically, this would be pretty much impossible. If you know how lever-actions work, they take a considerable time to reload (gotta put one round in at a time) There is no way you could ever get that all done in 3-4 seconds. No way. I propose that the winchester's reload time gets tripled. I know that sounds inconvienant, but its just the way the gun works. Opinions?

Is that so? Well I'll clean up the OP then

maybe Arma 3 can, we don't know right now

I've done it like 3 times ....

I'm pretty sure thats just the hole to put the rounds in Either way, its still be one round at a time, and you'd need to remove the tube to get that hole open, then put it back in to ensure the rounds aren't bouncing around and/or going into the chamber. No way you could cram 15 rounds in that quickly

More civilian guns

I don't know, I think this mod needs to get in the direction where it is inconvienant to kill someone, rather than team up with them. There was a thread where they said "Make DayZ a Living Hell", but I can't find it since the website update

That clan hasn't done anything to me, so it isn't my problem

I think you nailed it However, I don't think all military weapons should be "stripped out", but much, much rarer. Right now for the majority, things like the winchester, double barrel, etc are just place-holders till you find that M4 or DMR. I think civilian weapons should have more weight

Well the reason I want such a small backpack is because I will a less valuable target to people, so maybe someone will be more willing to ask "friendly?" to me rather than just KoS.

um what?

Shoot on sight? fuck off, stop brainwashing these people
