The funny thing is, about a week before this post was made i was working on a massive post about realism XD, and im still working on it, its more of a collection of loads of realism ideas and some of my own, so i might post it still im not letting a few weeks worth of work go to waste :P

As this is taking up another thread in the forums, i would suggest you post it in the right place: Here

In some of the above comments there was at least one person saying how snipers shoot too far with no bullet drop, i had just had enough with loads of people moaning about things they didn't understand, which is why i posted. Well I guess the wind would affect snipers at longer range, but the zeroing is there for a reason, it makes the bullet go to the target no problem, but i see many peoples point about making sniping harder, if perhaps the snipers that had bipods had to fired when prone to get maximum accuracy they would be realistic, and if they were being fired when not prone and other snipers without bipods would have to be steadied by holding your breath, as this is what has to happen in real life.

Ok, to anyone complaining about snipers read this before you start spilling your mindless babble some mode: 1. "snipers go too far with no bullet drop".... Snipers are meant to go long distances with no bullet drop, but some snipers do it better than others, I.e. the CZ and the AS50, the CZ has a good enough zeroing but the AS50 has one of the best. 2."Snipers are overpowered".... they are meant to be, when the military first came up with the concept of sniper rifles they wanted them to be a 1 shot kill, kill the enemy before they know what is happening 3."The AS50 and m107 should be removed because they 1 shot you anywhere".... These are both anti-material sniper rifles, they are meant to take anything out, be it the tank driver, helicopter pilot or just infantry, they punch through most things, so the 1 shot kill feature for them is fine, perhaps if you keep getting shot by them, think about how its your fault for being out in the open when a bandit is looking for people to kill for fun, it isn't the sniper rifles fault, it has to be that way. Just try to remember these things before you start blabbering off how snipers are overpowered or how they should be removed from the game (P.S. I wrote this because i was tired of seeing stupid comments about sniper rifles by people who, from what they said, clearly know nothing about them)

Your idea of taking stuff of tanks and crashed helicopters would not work, this is because they have blown up, the mini-guns on the chopper have most likely disintegrated barrels making it impossible to fire with them, and also...... what on earth would you take from a blown up tank?!?!, plus you said how you would be able to take a windscreen out of a car and put it on another, yeah you need special equipment or have the knowhow to successfully remove a windscreen in real life, and seeing as rocket wants to make the game more realistic, this would not work, but taking wheels off cars and putting them on your own is a good idea, also firing from inside a car? 1. only sidearms would fit 2. shooting from a car would be pointless as most of them let bullets pass through the hull and kill you, so yeah taking wheels off cars = good, rest of the stuff = either unrealistic or pointless.

My point exactly, it would take time to build an mg nest, not be able to carry everything you need in your inventory would be a good thing, it would mean you would have to set up a tent if you wanted to build one, and eldritch is right, adding MG nests isnt going to happen, they just would have no use, sure there a kind of safe haven, but you can only shoot in a 170 degree radius, so pretty pointless.

Oh and also, mg nests have to be placed on flat land, and as they are so big, it would take forever to make one

As cool as it would be, you would need loads more materials to make an mg nest, about 4-5 sandbag's, an entrenching tool, 5 gillie suits, 1 MG and about 4-5 wood piles would be more realistic.

Hawk, someone suggested earlier on this post about sea planes, now this would be a much better option, you cant land them on land but they are safer and have a big landing zone, personally i think this would be a better plane, but hey its up to rocket and the DayZ dev team

No bases or safe havens..... You must have misunderstood the whole lore of the game, IT'S A ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE, there would be no "safe havens", you survive its the only thing you can do, safe havens are for games like WarZ, they have them, if you cant handle DayZ then thats the game for you.

Also "Hydrocodone", do you play and enjoy the COD game series, and think they require skill to play? It would explain loads of things about you to me.

IM THICK? Dude, your idea has fail written all over it, "rangers" they can't damage survivors?, and what if a survivor shoots at them? they are screwed as they cannot shoot back, Scrap your idea its crap, wont work, and would ruin the PVP part of the game, and also think about how thick your being before you insult someone idiot.

And if survivors cannot damage other survivors, how do you propose bandits would come about? and pvp is an essential part of the game.

1. your a hacker, and if you hack you will be global banned 2. you have only ever made 1 post....this one, so saying you've asked 8 times before is a lie Have a nice ban :3

Im writing a big suggestions post on the "suggestions for the DayZ standalone" thread, i don't want to take up masses of screen space with the post so i tried to use the special bbcode "spoiler" but when the text was entered it went on a single line and stretched off my screen, so i can't click "ok" to complete the bbcode entering, so if any of you know the bbcode it uses to make spoilers or how to fix this please tell me. (P.S. i couldn't find a thread about this so i decided to post, sorry if its a reposted question)

Oops, sorry i was being stupid, i tried so can a mod delete this post

Well, An independent statistic said that 60% of the DayZ community were USING hacks, the most part of this are little children getting hold of scripts and hacks made by the smart people, the actual hackers are much less annoying and mainly create the hacks just for the challenge of creating them, So unfortunately most of the DayZ community are hackers which is proberbly why they "troll" you, my advice is to not listen to them, instead listen the the 40-50% of the DayZ community who are not kids who have downloaded a hack.

Ah ok, i was just reading what you said in two contexts :P

I don't really agree with hackers mostly, I really hate the ones who go around killing people in god or teleporting everyone to them, Im ok with the ones who say spawn in a weapon or something small, but what you did is fine to me, because if you think about it "Big box with everything in dayz in it that i can take", I bet 99% of the dayz community would at least take one item.

Btw, if that was intended for me, read a little better as i said that arma 2 is a good game, but i don't think the people that say arma is crap should die they should just be exiled to a small island to forever play COD like they probably do and squeak all over the place :P

Ok, from what I have heard DayZ stand alone will be priced more or less the same as minecraft when it was in Alpha/Beta, so that will be around £15/$23, i honestly don't think that thats a major amount to pay for a good game, if you bought arma2 just for dayz and you like dayz then when the standalone comes out you will buy it to support the games future, also arma 2 combined ops only costs like £20/$30 which is also not much, and yes as others have said, Arma 2 is a good game, the fact you can practice with vehicles ad weapons on it and all the basic tutorials and advanced will make you ready for dayz, as-well as the story and the multiplayer its a good game so you haven't wasted your money and buying dayz standalone will be cheep and helpful to the games future.

Yeah, still though as hard as it would be to be a zombie, it would still be quite unrealistic, plus we don't want dayz ending up like Left 4 dead versus mode where hoards of zombies are controlled by players.

Yes its been suggested 1,000,000 times before and the answer is always no, this is because you would have people trying to become zombies to troll new-spawns on the coast, secondly in my opinion its not very realistic, in all infected zombie like games/movies/fiction the infected loose the human part of their mind and so become savage etc. so becoming one and being able to control it would be extremely unrealistic, although if when you were killed by a zombie perhaps you turn into one but its an AI and then anyone wishing to loot you would have to kill the zombie first.

I have had three ideas about vehicles that i think would be really good to add; Locking vehicles: Locking your car etc. would be extremely cool, so people cannot just find your car etc. and be off with it, you can lock it with keys you find in the gear, these keys would be specific to that vehicle, plus the keys would be needed to start the car. (Probably alot of you are going to be moaning about how it would be unfair not to take someone's vehicle, so for those people read down more), the keys, if stored in the inventory would take up one tool-belt slot. Stealing vehicles: Ok so if the keys are implemented there has to be a way to take a vehicle without them (obviously you could just kill the driver and loot the keys off him/her), Ok so basically you would have the option to smash the window of the vehicle so that you can open the door from the inside (this would also make you loose blood, say 200-300 due to you using your fist/elbow to smash the window, also you would have to use new piece glass to repair the window), once inside you would have to hotwire the car to make it start (maybe have a chance that you will fail to hotwire the car and you will have to start again) the process would take some time to do, so this would also be a minus, but this would balance out the fact that you don't have the keys and would make the keys more precious, I.e. being quicker and doesn't make you loose blood. Closing doors on aircraft: Ok so say the huey is in the stand alone or something like it with the guns hanging out the side and doors, well i think that the pilot should have the ability to close them so that passengers in the back are less likely to be shot, this would obviously take away the ability for gunners and with the huey, if the doors were to close you could not fit anyone in the gap that remains, so it would decrease the amount of players it can hold (if it was like the Chinook for example closing the door would do noting to the carrying capacity unless the Chinook has a MG on the back which would become obsolete due to the door being closed). EDIT:The doors would only be able to be closed when no-one is sitting in the gunner positions I would like to know thoughts on my ideas, any more features suggested i can add to this making the post more tidy :3
