jani.ehro@gmail.com 1 Posted July 2, 2012 HEy,I do believe that camping requires some balancing.few things:-thermal weapons-unwashed body, smell and insects-german shepardThermal weaponsThermal weapons have previously been in game to "balance" camping but they have actually made even bigger cap between players with the rifle and the ones without it. Honestly - I do believe there aught to be some proper way to find players, not with some uber super rare vision scope that instead makes yourselve OP. Remove these weapons. I do not think ANY of us would just walk into one of these after apocalypse :)Unwashed body, smell and insectsPeople who camp have their affects to the environment. What do I mean? In a apocalypse you would smell FUCKING bad, since all the washing machines are wrecked ;). So this means all insects in 2 mail radius would raid your camping body when you are still too long. This means, the player would get mosquitos, flies, horseflys and shit rolling around his body. This is a sound effect which would make it easier to find campers - just like the dead bodies. (player should not hear it himself, but instead there could be an icon to show this)GErman shepardThere aight to be german shepards and dogs that have survived the apocalypse. To win their trust you need to feed give them freshly baked meat. They also demand that meat every now and then or they say BB and attack you instead :). German shepards would spot camping people by smelling them when given an order. But they would have easy only finding players who have camped for long enough to stay in same spot.

zecele 211 Posted July 2, 2012 I barely ever meet campers in this game. Why? because you would have to be pretty stupid to sit in the same position for hours. Camping is for bad players.The fact that you admit your a camper is pretty astounding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Camping is for bad players.The fact that you admit your a camper is pretty astounding.It simply is the most effective tactic. I am sorry, but thats the way it is.Besides - with sniper rifle there is not much else to do than watch over for some city / airfield and shoot ppl from distance staing undetected and hidden.Equipment makes the camping a proper tactic - not players. If you would have ak47 - its hardly a camping weapon... and you would probably not even meet anyone in a small spot too often... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zeromentor 169 Posted July 2, 2012 Real Snipers move and shoot from cover to cover, using concealment in between to mask their movements.If you sit around long enough to collect a bad smell that would take DAYS then you have MAJOR issues.Also, I'm probably one of the many guys you should watch out for. I hunt snipers, they are great loot bags with nice stuff and many don't move often. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're sitting in the one place then you're just a baddie and that's that, it's ok though because I got 2x m107, m4sd, NVG's, gps, rangefinders, big coyote's... keep "camping" please, i need some more nice gear.

Are you mad?I have been in the military and all it takes is that your sweating body stops for minutes and thats it. And I completely do disagree with that. Real snipers are the most patient guys watching over certain spots for hours - if not days. Suggest you go read some of it.I barely ever meet campers in this game.

But at times you could be waiting for tens of minutes even to see anyone at one spot.Do not be idiot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dev (DayZ) 113 Posted July 2, 2012 Thermal weapons: There is only 1 and that is why it is not overpowered since it is very rare. Smell: flies and such are not attracted to bad smells such as body odor(they can be attracted to what you are sweating out though), they are attracted to decaying matter. If you are decaying, well you wont be doing much camping now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leo235 2 Posted July 2, 2012 Incredible how hard the IQ-balance in this thread seems to shift in OPs favour....Snipers do sit in the same spot for daysPeople smell, the apocalypse will not make that better ( well...maybe. nutrition is tricky)If you camp in the traditional sense, you pick a position where you cant be shot in the back of the head easily.Flies and insects are attracted to smell. A lot of them are attracted to CO2 from your breath. There is more than one thermal scope in the game. Yes there is only one weapon-model that has it, but thats a really stupid point. if there was only one kind of Tank, lets say a T72 it wouldnt be any less overpowered. How can you even say something like that as if it was an argument.I am sorry for you OP...Also not a fan of your ideas. Maybe the NVG and thermal scope should only work on batteries, but dogs are way complicated and flies sound like a camping-sensor and would hit players who just sit in a building when they went to the john much more often. People just shouldnt walk into sniper-fields. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
