Katana67 2907 Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) I suspect you'll draw a lot of hate. But, not sure WHEN or IF these items will be included. Plus, weapons are too inaccurate now in my opinion for a RF to be of any use. However, I'd be in support of these items if they were suitably rare, hard to craft (in the case of the ghillie suit) or difficult to power/maintain (in the case of the RF).

irishroy 1347 Posted March 25, 2014 I hope never xD however, I see the "need" for a ghillie suit.But make it rare/hard to craft. Rangefinder? Nahman, only sniper-wannabies use this ;) 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khad (DayZ) 293 Posted March 25, 2014 If you don't know, how to use your spots and keep moving, a ghillie won't help that much. I guess a rangefinder would be cool, if there'll just a few ones on all the hives. But it should be really uncommon like it is in most military bases.

makomachine 263 Posted March 25, 2014 Improvised camo suits is a yes, look forward to it. Range finder? No thanks.... 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
onkel (DayZ) 5 Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) A vietnamese female sniper called the bitch is known by most to be the first to use a ghillie suit in combat. Did you know? Edited March 25, 2014 by onkel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katana67 2907 Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) A vietnamese female sniper called the bitch is known by most to be the first to use a ghillie suit in combat. Did you know? Unsure if joking. Ghillie suits were invented in Scotland, and used from the Second Boer War onwards. Edited March 25, 2014 by Katana67 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aamunkajo 110 Posted March 25, 2014 Rangefinder: meh, i guess i could make use of itGhillie suit: If its rare and hard to craft like everyone said, yes please. Otherwise no. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gibonez 3633 Posted March 25, 2014 I wouldn't mind hunting range finders added to the civilian loot. Cheap but not extremely accurate like military ones are. 16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nanoha 37 Posted March 25, 2014 I'd be happy with range finder indicator on scopes. The ones you calculate range by lining up a person's height with the parts on the scope. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
napalmdog 71 Posted March 25, 2014 Yeah, you need to just go play Arma three or something similar. Zombies aren't going to be fooled by Guillie suit... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

liquidsnake 275 Posted March 25, 2014 I think (improvised) ghillie suits are an absolute must, but only if they're rare or require lots of work to craft (for example, three compartments. One in cherno, one in that new town north of NWAF, and one all the way NE. To really make players work for it. And of course make them fairly rare, but not too much) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dayy 173 Posted March 25, 2014 Improvised gillhie, yea, rangefinder, I like the idea of a hunting rangefinder :) Love the idea of three parts for the gillie. Maybe it could be like a head/shoulders piece, chest piece, leg pieces. All could be word without the other... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah and you shouldn't be able to wear other clothing or a vest (possibly a chest holster) with it just your weapon and pack. Oh and it should only have like two spots for stuff in the shirt and pants if your lucky. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dayy 173 Posted March 25, 2014 Yea, yea, and maybe, you can collect leaves, and attach them, so you know, different color camo? Yes, No Maybe So??? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh and it should only have like two spots for stuff in the shirt and pants if your lucky.Now this sounds promising. The ghillie should be made pretty darn effective, but with this major fault to it as well for balancing purposes (and even realism, two birds with one stone). No bags for sure, no chest rigs either. The ghillie suit is all that's there, with a standard 6 slots or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deebz1234 243 Posted March 25, 2014 So silly to say "hopefully never" come on guys... you can make a ghillie in minutes in a forest, so why not have that as an option? you know realism ...what we strive for in this game... same with rangefinders...super rare maybe but dont limit any single item because nancy boy is scared of it being too end game. same with a 50 calibre sniper rifle, or any sniper rifle (308+). Just have to adjust the rarity tables and carry on. no single item should be omitted for "fairness" or should i say "fairyness" lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is undoubtedly going to be some sort of accurate 7.62 sniper in the game at some point and that does the job equally well at least. A .50 cal would be complete overkill in DayZ. Let the fools have their overly huge gun that compromises their position, is awfully cumbersome (a gun like that should have twice the sway in-game) and kills in one shot. I'll keep my 7.62 light sniper rifle that's dead-on accurate and knocks out in one shot, if not kill. It might be problematic for vehicles, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

execpro22 128 Posted March 25, 2014 I am wondering when these items will be able to use in-game ? I'm pissed off missing my shots (even when using DayZDB) and getting killed in sniper hills :D . I think they are trying to stray away from ghillie suits as it would destroy all the work they have put into with clothing customization. If guille suits came out everyone and there brother would be wearing one making clothing options pointless... I do miss them though.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure, as long as your body suffers the physical side effects of ghillie suits; such as extreme overheating, slower movement and ability to perform actions due to extra weight and encumbrance of wearing them, etc. I don't know why people want to turn DayZ into a military sim, that isn't what it is.
