If you haven't died a single tiem to a sniper you either haven't been playing the game that long or your running around in a forest and going no where near the major cities or NW Airfield, and that sir is the most boring way to play the game.

You're an idiot they don't get perks...They get to slightly sprint for a longer time but if that makes you QQ then don't play for a long time when it's not in Alpha version.

Because it's the most unrealistic crap in Dayz. No one in the world is a cook/mechanic/pilot/medic/scout and so on. I know the game shouldn't be 100% realistic but this a is a big deal. This needs to be in the game That way people will connect to their characters and value life. Plus it will give people something to do get your characters skill up then go do whatever if you die you'll have to restart all over again.

Well i can see run faster but everything else i don't know about, plus it should make your thirst go down faster, Pepsi coke mt. dew should all make your thirst go down faster.

No you can like guns that fine i have my own but in my opinion if you own a .50 caliber sniper rifle your crazy for a good amount of reasons. There's no need to have it, you won't dare hunt with it. The only thing it's good for is killing, that's what it was designed to do.

So .50 caliber sniper I.E. As50 M107. Lets say you find one, well your a survivor and unless your character is either militarily trained, or a crazed gun enthusiast (which in my opinion probably would be one of the first kinds of people to get eaten since they'd go all guns a blazing and would probably get swarmed in a matter of seconds) then they probably don't know how to correctly hold/aim a gun of that size and power. Well my suggestion is if you get one of these weapons you can shoot it all you want but you risk the chance after each shot of your character going into pain, and we already know that pain pills cure that pain. There's a solution to this however and that would be to find a book (or something else maybe a manual to the weapon, a soldiers diary) that when read would allow your character to correctly hold the gun and fire more rounds successfully without going into pain. (I don't want it to be super rare but to find it you most likely should have to travel North towards the air field and check the military zombies/spawns along the way) I don't know what to do about Balota but its a suggestion you people figure it out. Now before people complain for some reason I am suggesting this so if some Cod kiddie finds a dead survivor that went through the long and difficult process of finding the sniper, the cod kiddie wont be able to just pick up the murder machine and shoot everyone in a city.

I like this idea i think of course it would only work if the player is unconscious. I understand peoples arguments with its to restricting and player could get stun locked, However I want to say this Group the fuck up! There needs to be more risks besides getting eaten by a zombie if your alone you risk being knocked out tied up gun taken and left for dead. However I do think if someone has a knife the they should be able to cut out of the ties but it would be like a minute or 2 minute animation. (but the guy could steal the knife from your unconscious body and by then your Shit outta luck)

For sure. lol i expect deaths from heart attack to raise a lot in this game turn around one second then BAM zombie right there eating you...terrifying

Yeah people argue realism but psychologically people couldn't handle the pure stress and anger from having to survive, avoid survivors/zombies, and kill players. people would begin to go insane,

I like it, should add a siphon fuel option so you can steal fuel from other players cars.

I don't like it, for 2 reasons. 1. People don't turn into zombies from inhumanity they get bitten and turn. 2. This isn't what dayz is about its not a Player vs enemy game its a player vs player v enemy. Bandits are bandits not zombies

Rocket has said you can leave notes in the standalone with a pencil and paper. so close enough

I don't want any stats at all. Gives to much incentive to the Cod kiddies to rack up as much kills as possible

People complain so much about realism but when it looks them dead in the face they say NO!, These perks are for realism there is no better damage with gun (there is with a cross bow but it makes sense) all it is, is your character who is surviving learning how to survive better. Everyone says there should be level playing ground but honestly is it really a level playing ground when someone like me whose been playing for 3 months runs into someone whose been playing for 2 days? Answers no by the way in case anyone out their thought of being a smart ass and saying yes. Reason its not level is you have a seasoned player fighting against someone who is 2 days in. Its like giving a Navy Seal and some random 21 year old a gun, they might have the same gun and be in familiar territory but honestly who do you think will win that battle?

Or spawning in a AS50 TWS and sitting atop sniper hill...
