Adding .50s Back In

[hairylemon 4]

I do not need to prove anything to you guys you can belive me or you can not your call, this post was for a discussion on the .50s in game no need to make it about me and what firearms i have and wether or not you call BS.

[hairylemon 4]

  Im calling Bullshit on this one.... 

 

 In order to obtain an AS50 on NZ soil, you MUST hold a CURRENT "E" Category firearms Licence.... which is a about a 6 month process, requiring a minimum of 4 referee's ( two of which must already hold "E" Cat licences ) aswell as have incredibly strong home security, and above all else you must prove it is necessary for you to own one, hunting and pest control do not count.....

 

  On top of the fact you would need a importers licence to bring one in yourself, or have an importer do it on your behalf.... and that wont be cheap... 

 

But i see you live in Coatsville.... So i guess the money wouldnt be an issue right  ;)

Also please dont lecture me on the process of obtaining a E Cat FIrearms licence, i know how all this works, we have been through it, Also we spent upwards of 600,000 in making a "safe" so to speak where all the weapons are kept.

R4z0r already answered your question concerning .50 cal weapons right here.If you love 'em so much go play with your daddy's ones. You probably won't be seeing them again in dayz.

 

Useless thread is useless.

lol how?? They are definitely realistic i have 2 my self (IRL)

1. My father holds the license currently with all endorsments except for the salesman license

2. i never said we had an AS50 i said we had .50s, also you can get stores to import weapons for you 

 

 I never said they would not, merely that it would not be cheap...

  But you stated that your Father currently holds all the licences.... So where does this "We" come from.... 

 

  I dont really care what you've spent.... Coatsville right?? 

 

  And i'm not lecturing, merely pointing out ( for those who Dont know ) a Very Basic run-down on how difficult it is to obtain those licences here...  I would know, one of my close friends is a licencing officer for the Waikato region, and at one point was helping me get my own E Category licence, which i did not get in the end, due to a lack of home security ( Renting )   despite having actual military training in weapons handling and safety.... 

 

 

 On-Topic however..... 

 

  The AS50 in particular, despite being OP, I feel was substantially "un-authentic" in the DayZ environment...  HOWEVER...

 

 There would have been suitable replacement weapons, had anybody been willing to put the time into creating the models and re-skinning a weapon.... Weapons such as the OSV-96 ( which coincidently doesn't look all that much different, and i believe there was quite a bit of support for the re-introduction of the Lapua aswell http://tinyurl.com/p3ohkcv

ok..but until they come back why don't YOU go play another game? instead of suggesting others to do it..

 

i don't think you will see them back soon, or even in SA..and i must say that maybe they are out now because of the duping orgy back in the days..

Rocket has talked about a global "economy" where a certain number of items/weapons are in the whole world (ie :database) at once. A good way to keep very rare items low.

 

I, for one, would not mind if there were only 1 or 2 50 cal weapons in play at any one time.

That was actually a pretty good idea. This way we won't have these AS50 fests where everybody on a server has one.

You, sir, are full of shit

[AP_Norris 1017]

If any type of .50 does come back it should be rarer, its a specialist US weapon in a foreign country that really has no legitimate purpose being there? To clear an infestation why would they possibly send in some heavy slow, overkill .50 when really, a 5.56 DMR does the trick 200 times more efficiently.

It should be about as rare as the rocket launcher is now.

I've had it twice and haven't even had a rangefinder without stealing it from a camp.

Never can say I have ever seen an RPG which is why its perfect spawn rate.

[King of kong 1117]

I say fous on CDF weapons more. Like SVD

[Gwraspe 318]

let's bring .50s back, and while we're at it let's add map nuketown and traning ground. oh and how about a Stinger? i'd also really love to see the M230 MLRS and Stryker tank added.

</sarcasm>

 

EDIT: training grounf fixed to training ground

I say put them back in just reduce the spawn chance to something akin to rangefinders. If 1 shot with an M24 can disable a car, then whats the issue with the .50's. These things existed before the apocalypse....so, unless the zeds have made a load of medieum stashes in the woods and hidden them all, they should during/after.

 

Saying that hackers will just spawn themselves a ghilie and an AS50 dosent add up to me.....as it is they can spawn themselves a dmr/M24 and a ghillie and be just as deadly.

 

The only thing that I like about no .50's is it makes sniping a lil harder...nothing that zero's and rapid fires.

[Hosty 647]

When?

Never.

Duping no longer works

It's still very possible.

1. My father holds the license currently with all endorsments except for the salesman license

2. i never said we had an AS50 i said we had .50s, also you can get stores to import weapons for you

All you did here was make minor corrections that don't help your point whatsoever. If you were to choose you carry a .50, I can assure you, you would never us it, and you would sure as fuck die off fast.

Also, someone who seems so gun capable as you should know there is infact a difference between a 7.62 and .308. And since your father owns these supposed guns, why do you feel the need to call them yours?

If that's how things work, I own a 1200 sq ft house and a minivan.

Could you imagine if in SA, they did only have one or two, and out of the thousands and possibly millions of people playing, you owned one of them.

 

I'd have a DayZgasm.

[SFRGaming 718]

1. 7.62 and .308 is the same round

2. A .50 is not 30 lbs not including optic etc, it would be 30lbs including those things

*sigh*

1. They are not the same round. They are VERY different. The 7.62 can fit into a .308 chamber although you will encounter major problems when fitting a .308 into a 7.62 chamber.

2. The .50 sniper models, in which I have to infer you're talking about the Barrett M82, weights 28.6 lbs unloaded without any accessories, scopes, etc..

I hate to say it, but for a so-called 18 year old that seems to own many E class weapons, yet doesn't know jack shit about them seems like shenanigans to me.

Kind of like between the 5.56 and .223 pressure wise or is it more a mechanical issue?

 

When are you guys going to add the .50s back in????

 

When they introduce weight and stamina i'll give you TWO! If that takes too long for you ask your dad if he pays rocket a couple of dollars, maybe he will make you a custom avatar with your face and body measurements and maybe even throw in akimbo M107TWS/AS50TWS with 100 rounds box mags for the lolz on every single respawn.

Hope that helps.

The AS50 can demolish buildings. It can take out a T72 main battle tank in 10 shots. It has the recoil of 5.56mm weapons. All of that is what I like to call "retarded as fuck". Then there's the fact that you wouldn't find $10000 rifles lying around in a poor, rural post-Soviet republic during a zombie apocalypse. If they add AS50s maybe they should also add a Ferrari 250 GTO and some big block muscle cars. It's about as "authentic". The fact these rifles are a one-shot kill shouldn't even be a consideration - including them in the official mod or standalone would just be a STUPID decision. Out.

I must say, it's a neat idea, but it would clearly come with its problems. I was talking about this with some friends, and we thought, with an item so rare, it would be an extreme novelty item. That would cause lots of problems. Once people got these items, I know lots of people would just buy a separate copy of the game, and play on that, keeping the item safe and sound on another account.

 

This would also cause problems of people trading these items for anywhere from hundreds, to thousands of dollars (no joke).

 

Not to mention the kid in Asia a while back, whom was stabbed to death by his friend after he sold an extremely rare sword from their favorite game.

Good god, are you clinically Insane?.

[Spikér 136]

Rocket did say DayZ was meant to be unfair. But he also wanted to keep the realism as close as can be. AS50s are as rare as unicorn shit IRL. Letting them loose in DayZ just goes against the whole realism theme. Hell, go door to door in the UK/US and see just how many 50cals you find. My money is on a VERY small amount.

 

EDIT

The company that makes them, only sells them to appropriate agency's ( Special Forces) for evaluation. So that would make them even more rare.

I personally only want guns like pistols which police and military officers would use (I know they would be different models..), hunting rifles, police shotguns and some weapons like bows etc.. which people would learn how to make for hunting game. That is it..

 

I want to see more player battles with a knife against a hammer etc..

 

my 2 cents on this
