    The L85 is very accurate, its only downfall is the velocity of the bullet. There is SO much drop at farther ranges.

    Up close/mid its a beast!

    I was crawling on top of a building and my character decided to burst up and sprint off the top of it.

    I died straight away.

    Im not a fan of it, its only real use is spotting, handy if your in a group and you can afford to let one or two spot. one spotting with the heat vision and the other being a sniper to take the shot. if your on your own i'd nearly drop it because you cant really use it at close range because of the scope and no peripheral vision and at distance its incredibly inaccurate

    One of the lads with me has a DMR, but I have a heap of stanag ammo, and I've been using it at close range fine.
    I had one too but they have taken that gun out of the game for now so you wont have it when you log back in.

    I hope you are joking

    Thats exactly why you keep a M107 in your back pack ;)

    i don't agree with it being in in-accurate, i used one in cherno without the thermal and nvg but i did have a range finder, and i was regularly getting kills in the 700-900m range. i was even banned from a dutch server as they said i was cheating as they could not see me but yet i killed all 5 in their group, 2 were one shot kills...but hen again i was in high ground and never close combat...
    i actually lost it as i mysteriously fell off the building and could not find my body again...

    i haven't actually got a chance to use it in dayz, i knicked it off the midgets dead body a couple of days ago and i gave it to a mate, but i did test the weapon in arma on a firing range and it seems that if you have a target at say 300 meters you nearly have to zero it to 500 meters to hit the the target, and even then it can go to the left a bit or tbh its seems a little random which way it goes.
    in sayin that though maybe the configuration of the weapon in dayz is slightly different, ive noticed the dmr is slightly different, as in there doesn't seem to be any shake when your proned (or even crouched) and scoped in, in arma theres a tiny bit of shake even when proned

    Why would I bother joking? Last night on the forum Rocket said he was removing the L85. He will be adding it back in in a future update.

    Yup got an email from them about 2am, we'll see how reports go today and maybe update IE1 this evening.

    If anyone plays a 1.7.2 server today and has issues please let us know


    What size are the boards servers?

    Map is so big that you need at least 30 people on the server to get any actions and groups going.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,182 ✭✭✭Genghiz Cohen


    IE1 Boards is 40-man.
    Maybe 50 with 10 reserved slots once that functionality is enabled.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 350 ✭✭_vti


    ^ that would be so sweet!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,721 ✭✭✭Kells...


    I've been having a load of problem's connecting to the newly updated server's mainly getting stuck on loading...

    That's a known issue.
    You should play on 1.7.1.4 (or whatever) until later today, rocket says a fix is ready and is just waiting for the dayzmod.com site to come back up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,558 ✭✭✭✭dreamers75


    Was a thread on the official forums about longest kill with a sniper rifle.

    3000m was the winner in the end, TAC50.

    Wont be beaten in Dayz due to view distance limitations. But you can try beat it in the editor.

    How do I downgrade?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,182 ✭✭✭Genghiz Cohen


    What launcher are you using?

    I'm using the ArmAII Launcher and I can have a load of different shortcuts for each version of DayZ/ArmA I want

    I keep each version of DayZ in its own separate folder as if there were each different mods.
    So for 1.7.1.4 I'll have mod=@DayZ1.7.1.4 in the shortcut.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,861 ✭✭✭FlyingIrishMan


    Do it manually. Its the best way in my opinion, fast and easy if you know what you're doing.

    I'm using Six Launcher.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,182 ✭✭✭Genghiz Cohen


    Never used that myself.
    Someone in the know will be along shortly.

    :( Spawned in and my ghillie suit I got yesterday is gone. Haven't even updated yet

    Just had an interesting experience on IE1 that will probably lead me to avoid new survivors rather than help them, which is what I usually try to do.

    I was heading out of cherno after gathering some good supplies after a fresh spawn (got some camo, AKM, M1911). I decided to check out the construction site just east of cherno while I was on my out.

    I went inside and straight to the 2nd floor. I looked down and saw a survivor with just a hatchet, he was killing some zombies. I decided to tell him in direct chat that I would not shoot. He came upstairs but he came a different route so that he was out of melee range but could still see me. I saluted and went downstairs to drop some morphine I agreed to give him (incase he needed it later on). As I got down there I looked around and could not see him. He asked me to come to him as there was AKM mags, I declined as I already had enough.

    I started to drop some morphine on a loot pile so that he could pick them up. I was just about to tell him there was morhpine on the tank trap downstairs for him to pick up when he suddenly charged at me and took a swing with his axe, I lost about 4500 blood (that thing is pretty powerful) I quickly turned and unloaded my AKM into his bandit-ass face. I didn't even feel good that I'd gotten a bandit kill.

    I felt so betrayed becuase we were both talking so nicely to eachother and I'd even offered him supplies so he wouldn't have to head deep into cherno (I wasn't stupid enough to offer him a gun at least). If I was in his situation I'd have taken the supplies and been grateful I hadn't been shot on sight.

    Well there you go, I guess there's not much trust left in this game =( =(

    Ghillie suits are now bugged. If you see one don't pick it up. Putting it on will make all your gear disappear. You've been warned.

    We're both still playing 1.7.1.5 and stayed on the boards server which has yet to have been updated so they shouldn't have any problems until we update..

    Newly respawned, no gear, running about in Elektro. Suddenly this sniper in a ghillie with a Barrett runs up to me "GET ON THE F***ING GROUND NOW! GET ON THE F***ING GROUND NOW, OR YOU DIE!"(obnoxious American accent ✔)

    I'm looking at him thinking "I have nothing to lose, what makes you think I'll do anything you say?!" So I run off, and of course he shoots me. :pac:
