M107 TWS removed.... or not???

[munchy 9]

So I had one of the first M107 TWS's which is yeah whatever doesn't matter but as you can see from the murders list it had an "effect" so when I logged in one morning to fine my entire contents of my trusty Alice pack gone (empty) with hide nor hair of my M107 TWS, I was pretty :/ faced. But O'well I guess

So I go to my mail as all helpful alpha testers would and email the (what i thought) pack bug! but as they later informed me the TWS system had been totally removed and was not a bug :( sadface but whatever I guess.

A few days pass and I'm on the DayZ gallery I see the SSG group photo with a M107 TWS........

Some people from the SSG team on EU servers.

This was yesterday' date=' and i belive he found the M107 TWS in a tent on the russian server 3 days ago or something.

I was just wondering is the powers of "God" (kit adjustment) going to be for everyone, just me or everyone but the Russians??

Ps. Just to add having all the servers on the same database means it messes with all the other servers when one is unrestricted, if something is removed for game play reasons then surly it should be totally gone off all servers. Otherwise what's the point?

All servers should run the same settings. Having crosshairs on US server, for example, is incredibly terrible.

I can see how the TWS would need to be removed, that has the potential to lock an entire server down if a shooter has ammo and it's dark.

Like i said in the group photo thread, it was found on the Russian server some days ago in a tent. I will have to check with the player who has it, or better still have him post here about the specifics on when and where he found it.

I also saw a m107 TWS spawned as loot just last night, cant remember what server but i believe it was EU1 or 2. Found a "non TWS" m107 myself spawned as loot a couple of hours ago on EU2.

On another note, the TWS version should be removed.

It doesnt really "belong" in this mod, coupled with a range finder and you can kill anyone within 1500m in any light conditions if you are a decent shot.

Really your seeing them spawn still? Well I'm not sure what's going on then, I do know the M107 non-TWS was still around which I'n not too fussed about but I really just wanna know what's going on?

This is the email i got sent when I asked the other day

Kinda outlines no TWS any more don't you think?

Thats not what this post is about I have no problems with any server running non-transferable game play features such as cross hairs but things like weapons which can be transferred and alter game play of other servers should not happen at all.

In one of the barracks in the NW airfield at one of the "spawn places" i saw an m107 TWS with 2 m107 magazines on the floor.

That was last night, and as far as i can see it had spawned there.

Edit. I dont know if its been removed and reinstated into the loot table, or if it is kind of bug that they are still spawning.

The one we have came from a tent on the Russian server.

Good riddance.

After an intense fire fight at the NW airfield one more M107 TWS was found, but for the sake of the balance it was hidden far away from the airfield. It was found on a dead player so my guess is that there are a few TWS circulating out there still.

I have seen ammo for the M107 several times in the last few days.

Yes I fear so I think for the sake of game play it needs to be removed again or hidden by players in lakes or woods because it's just too OP (trust me I know, it's like the one ring. You must not be tempted)

The M107 is still out there to find along with its ammo. What shouldnt be out there is the M107 TWS. The scope is thermal which makes zombies and players alike shine bright white against a grey background. This weapon is considered something of a balance breaker in the game. The standard M107 lacks this scope.

I feel like there should be no M107 at all, hardly fits a post apocalyptic eastern Europe. Maybe replace with the KSVK.

most of the weapons/equipment don't fit in at all. i personally wouldn't mind seeing nothing but russian weapons, with rare american equipment spawning at crashed helis. also why a huey heli and not an mi17? still don't understand why they made that change

+1 to Mi17 chopper. I would love to be able to repair such beatu and fly it, more then Huey.

Removing the most lethal or exotic weapons won't improve the situation. Part of the game's allure is derived in the journey to obtain these rare gems.

The way to balance the presence of these weapons is to maintain a low spawn frequency/probability. I would prefer they left TWS and NVG weapons in the game under this constraint.
