I know alot of other people have suggested weapons but I'll add a that I've hadn't seen. High powered, battle proven to be durable and deadly...both would fit nicely and accuratly in dayZ. I know alot of other things should be done rather than look into weapons but this is for a more regional consitency thing. One is, get rid of the British Lee Enfield, and replace with the Mosin Nagant 91 30, or the M44. Both are actuall Soviet weapons bolt action very accurate and fire the 7.62x54R cartridge wich is nasty round when it hits. I own one, 1938, awesone rifle.... and always wonder why a British gun is in instead of the Mosin. Another is the SKS another fine Soviet weapon slightly more accurate than the AK47, though holds less rounds (10) in a fixed magazine usually loaded via stripper clip. I also own one...though it's a Norinco 1972. I wonder why this couldn't be found in the game either. SO for a more accurate setting, I believe these great battle rifles should be an important part to the game when it comes to weapons, and imersion. My bad....search foo was broken via the site was acting up..... but this is good http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=26078 I didn't see anything about the SKS....so SKS it's a great rifle! Soviet made too.

my own lapses in judegement, patience.

Yea have had it happen to me couple times too....I sigh in dibeleif, kick the dog, and punch the wife....JK...I just let out a big sigh. But I just respawn, do it all over again...but it's different everytime. But before I just respawn I go out back and blast several mags of My AR15: My M1A: My Revolver: and my 1911: and enjoy my REAL loot I've aquired:

Realism and all that. Since tempeture is in, wich I never thought would be put in a game. Since we run, walk ALOT..just about everywhere inclines, rain, rolling in dirt etc.etc.....would one develope blisters...other foot issues? ESPECIALLY with those kinds of boots! So introduce foot cream/powder...to fix those over worked abused sweety ass feet! Over time you feet develope issues which affect/degrade running/walking/sneaking.... over all the effeicency of mobility. Must find powder/cream to turn your feet "green" again and you are faster, sneakier etc.etc. So? Just another aspect in the life of DayZ? Bad suggestion?

Fine job

becuase it's the Antigame and they have a hard time adjusting to it.

It's an ALPHA not even close to a beta.....this forum gives me a headache....

Did you use installer? that stuff is asking for problems. Just DL the Rar's and extract strait to the "addons" folder....when a new update comes out...goto addons, and delete all content and extract new content into folder..... My only problems is the server side not keeping up with thier "job"....

yeah..it's smart to do all that...but I don't give a dog shit....I slap it on a go about my way....if it bugs..well...fuck. I got the loot once, I can get it again......

Well I didn't read but the first page of responses to the OP. I had just about everything when the new patch came out...so I respawned...lost it all..NVG's, M14 with Aimpoint Comp, ammo, and all the other "precious" one can horde, I even ditched my tent dumped it all so the server could take it back. Yes...I loast days of lootness on purpose....why? Fuck I got it once, I can get it again...I don't mind the work. Once on respawn I died pretty quick....wow cool! Had to readjust my tactics, movements and be even more patient, yet with a quick slight. In just a few hours I"m sporting NVG's again, M4CCO, DMR,knive, compass, map, watch, cyote pack Etc,etc,etc....precious loot. I just may respawn again for fun of being so vulnurable and WORKING my way to better resources to help me survive. Personally I love how the new respawn is...your vulnerable, in the most extreme!!! Some are ingrained with the gameplay of HAVING to HAVE a gun. See now, every problem you come accross isnt a "nail" cause you have a hammer (gun)..you see? have to learn other ways of play...than just using the "gun". Have to use other means to your disposable. Hello? "Antigame" ring a bell??? So you agro a Zed, with no gun (deosnt matter if it's trough a wall down the fuckin street it's agroed and you have to deal with it!!)...RUN, RUN...run through trees, cut through thick bushes...yes you just may have to go out of your way to loose them...BUT they can be lost and you can survive just fine without a gun I did!! ...'till you find one, then you can try to survive even better....but the gun doesn't make the survivor. Fuck abunch of installer...I just dl the RaR's and install on the raw...crude but very effective....no issues with any update.

Diggin your servers, I play on them in the evenings. join sometime around 10:30pm CST Keep it up!

Anyone know status of this server? Wating for mission, maintence, gone for good? Was my favorite server I played, was stable, fast loading, fun, good Day/night time settings, most of the regulars were fun and kept it interesting. Just wonderin'....it's day two with no D9:s.

I bounce from town to town just wondering and seeing whats going on, kill groups of zombies, snoop on players...maybe follow group from a far and using my binocs. I mainly roleplay.

Man I hated night for a while...I then forced myself to play. After cusing, sighing, and over all frustration. I started to learn strategies on navigating, and lurking about. FLares for long range path lighting..and zombie distracting, I try to throw on top of structures or areas that create relections. Then the glow stick for immidiate area illumination. I've gotten more comfortable in nighttime enviroments with these two simple tactics. yeah it sometimes is way too dark.

Many of other people I also play with have noted that this has been vastly improved....

I find them quite often, in the areas mentioned above. I dont have an ounce issue with finding matches. Edit: I've been able to find them everytime I've started over....

I very seldom get that message anymore....it has vastly been improved....please move along.

Good reads. Mine: day 3 I have a tent, been running around stocking up on meat, canned food, couple different back packs, extra knifes, maps, compasses, smoke nades, and extra tent etc.etc. Shotguns 1014, Mp5, AKM, AK74, Winchester, CZ550, various pistols and enough ammo for each. Well I was equiping myself to head off and look for more smoke nades, and stock some wood at the tent. Right when I collect my CZ, BAM! I take a hit....lays me down. Though, it layed me down behind a nearby bush that fortunately gave me cover from followup shots. I was able to take a morphine shot and bandage myself....but fearing death I held out on the painkillers...and got up to high tail it to some proper cover. I get up and make a brake for the nearest tree line...a second shot was made, the bullet hit just pased me at my feet (saw impact). I start to zig zag third shot was made just missing me again, I now know its source by trajectory of bullet impacts. Thinking, "damn, this person knows my tent location, and is really trying to take me down". I then hear pistol shots, and zombie screams. I reach the treeline, go prone and start to counter snipe. I see him fighting agroed zombies....he finished them off and heads for my tent. As I'm adjusting zero he prones right behind my tent....yes he's looting but in a panick. I can only see his lower ankle and foot. I calculate.... he's near 400 meters out....I take a shot...I'm high just inches, adjust, squeez trigger, hit on the ankle, I see blood gushing and bandeges popping up around my tent...he's in a panick and triyn to get my badages and fix himself. All this time I'm keeping lookout about me to see if he was a bait figure so others can home in on my postion....I see in the screen he disconnects and he dissapears. It's my tent, I will take however long I feel is needed to make it secure for the moment so I can relocate my stash. I lie still for the next hour waiting , listening for movement, or him to come back, or others to head to the tent thinking I've left. After that I head down look into my tent....He took a 1911 and 9 mags (leaving 8), a map, hunting knife, bandages, and some mags for the AK74. I load up on the most important of gear, and start my relocating process (using the extra tent)..since that tent is now compromised. Whew, I made it! Alive on day 4, with a good chunk of my gear and a crash course on long range shooting. And that's my story!:cool:

There's been times where I've been hit several times with no effect. SOme times, yeah one hit I'm bleeding, two hits and I have broken something...or in pain. Others I've been hit once and I'm lying on the ground in a passed out state unable to do anything.....thats with blood over 10k...I chalk that up to a cold clock in the knoggen. Had a zombie spawn right next to me, go agro and knock me right out...in just a sec. But I was saved.

When I was a bike courier in Houston in the summer, I'd drink 1-1 1/2 gallon of water and not piss once on my 8hr day. I was hungry on the constant....it makes since. It think the hunger is fine.....it's alpha. I'm giving the mod plenty of patience and space to evolve before I start suggesting these minor variables

Yeah I know Rocket has it in works...but mine went from 45-55 all on Ultra high (Shadows on normal) to like avg.19fps right off the 8.2...I knew it was the patch. I just cut off the game early, got lots of sleep (finally) since I knew it would be dealt with in a prompt manner.

read the release notes...........if you took time to update mod...well, read the notes. Self relience...name of the game.

I have very little interaction with players. I don't kill, I don't get seen. If i'm spotted I vacate immediately. If I see a player..I don't annouce they've been seen (friendly near _____?). I just lay low, watch, and let them pass. I've had countless opportunities to kill without notice....that's not me. My role is loaner, I'm getting good at it. The world has gone to hell and I making it solo.
