3rdparty 229 Posted July 20, 2012 Did a quick search and i found 1 subject related to complete removal of sniper rifles. Considering the uber repetition in this forum, to me, this is a genuine suggestion, so worry not about the peeps posting carebear comments or aggressive dismissals. For they only go on this forum to humiliate peeps in order to bolster their self esteem.Err personally noo matey, ive seen a few threads which are debating the OTT nature of some of the rifles, but complete removal? noo i dont think so. + Not everyone shoots on sight, but they may not make their presence known either XD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Powell (DayZ) 734 Posted July 20, 2012 I say make military sniper rifles A LOT more rare, and remove the L85 AWS completely. Thermal/NV Scope has no place in the zombie apocalypse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MinxinG 50 Posted July 20, 2012 I agree of remove SOME of snipers;Who needs a AS50? M107? They are Anti-Material weapons that are USED against Armored Vehicles, not on people like you guys that own these guns do.To balance the game, it should only have M24, SVD and DMR of Military Snipers, ONLY. And increase the spawn chance of CZ550 and later add some others more common civilian snipers rifles. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

killzone_kid 51 Posted July 20, 2012 Because once people get sniper rifles and/or rangefinders, all they do is camping in the woods outside of high population areas and snipe people. (I know most of the people I know did it, so did I for a brief period of time). At this point you are so far away from the zeds and you don't feel that this is a zombie appcalypse survival game at all. It's more like a sniping game with "zombie: the human detector" game.Please consider getting rid of all the sniper rifles so everyone will need to get their hands dirty in some real zombie action.TL;DR: Dayz shouldn't be a "Sniper Elite multiplayer with zombies in the distance as decorations". AND NO, I'm not the "snipee", this is your bored sniper speaking.no need to get rid of them, just make ammo extremely rare. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whatup2003 67 Posted July 20, 2012 no need to get rid of them, just make ammo extremely rare.what's the point of making ammo extremely rare without fixing the replenish ammo bug? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haplo (DayZ) 44 Posted July 20, 2012 Name one successful zombie game with people safely sitting miles away from any zombie threat and picking people off with snipers.Just name one and I'll be going.DayZ. Sorry, but, that's your cue to leave.I understand this is a recurring issue for some people. Why didn't they learn their lesson the first time?---Honestly guys, why do threads like this get more attention than some of the most awesome ideas? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfstriked 143 Posted July 20, 2012 I'm not saying sniping doesn't take skill. I'm saying staying in the woods and sniping totally kills the feeling of a ZOMBIE appocalypse game.I was talking about how hard it is to fire at range in real life.maybe a "slight" increase in sway at all stances will make it "slightly" harder for the snipers to get hits.If you hear a gun shot and are not hit with first shot then run for cover and get out of that area.

Haplo (DayZ) 44 Posted July 20, 2012 Sorry, but Dayz is not successful on the "end game" part imo. That's why it needs to improve.Finally, something constructive has come out of this thread!!Check this out, my solution to add to the end game. Community built minigames on an ingame console.. They can be used as currency as the higher rated games become rare.http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/38928-community-minigames-a-form-of-currency/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

starwarsfan@gmx.de 450 Posted July 20, 2012 Not just the snipers but most of the military grade weaponry should be removed and a lot more civilian weaponry added but that has been suggested hundreds of times before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drseptapus 49 Posted July 20, 2012 Not just the snipers but most of the military grade weaponry should be removed and a lot more civilian weaponry added but that has been suggested hundreds of times before.This. And Less ammo. I thought I read that once the game is out of alpha things will spawn a lot less. Hopefully this is true. Unfortunately for the time being we're going to have to play our zombie apocalypse simulator with people that think it's a military sim with zombies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whatup2003 67 Posted July 20, 2012 Not just the snipers but most of the military grade weaponry should be removed and a lot more civilian weaponry added but that has been suggested hundreds of times before.Amen to that brother.
