You should be fine to play with us here in murica. I play on EU servers with pings around 95~110 and it seems to be OK for me. You will have to watch out for the sqeakers and shoot everything that moves kiddies but if you can handle the increase in ping I say go for it

People that I run into on experimental see to be a bit friendlier than in stable. That being said, people are still assholish but I've met far more friendlies on exp than stable. My rule is never trust people at military spawns or people who have guns, even a sporter. I don't outright shoot people at military spawns but I will observe them and when they start being sketchy I start shooting

This was how it worked for me the other night. I died due to an invisible zed near dolina, spawned at staroye and had enough time to get back to my body. Not sure how long bodies stay in game, might only be 10 to 15 minutes. Oh I forgot to mention this was on experimental

Blue berries make you sick? Hmmm I had spammed the search for berries button and ended up with like 4 different bunches of blue ones. My guy must have been too hungry to notice the poison but seriously I ate the blue ones on experimental 2 days ago and I was OK, I lived another 3+ hours with no side effects until I got some lead poisoning from an unlimited ammo mag in an m4 Edit: I just tried it, yes blue ones do make you sick. I forgot to mention I had also taken some charcoal tabs and tetracycline tabs because all I had was a piece of raw meat and a few berries. Hey don't judge me I likes my steak a bit rare and a side of berries

My first death in standalone came from some clown mask wearing axe swinging maniac, was sorting my gear and this dude starts screaming and hacking away. Was truely funny because we were north of cherno and I fired a mosin shot and it was like the whole city erupted into one giant firefight. Joke was on him though, all I had was some rotten fruit and a few rounds for my mosin. After a short jog back to my body I found him shot in the clown mask, he was loaded with goodies so I robbed him and took my mosin back only to get sniped after taking 2 steps

I am for the idea of jams and misfired cartridges. Although I hope they would tie it to the condition of the weapon and the condition of the ammunition you are trying to use, not some half thought out formula where 1 in every 10 shots misfires or jams. Perhaps when we get some form of persistent storage things like weather will begin to affect our guns and equipment. I can't imagine all that rain we endure would do anyone's gear any good

Yes it is what Dayz needs because right now everyone is shoehorned into one way of playing and that way is ermergerd another player, have to be antisocial and shoot them in case they try to talk to me. I'm not saying I'm against PvP, you guys want to douchebag on each other and do the shoot everything that moves, I say have at it but leave me out of it. If people have passworded or white listed hive it will cut down on a lot of the nonsensical killing just because you felt threatened when you saw me sitting next to a pond fishing with no gear except a fishing pole and a courier bag with a few medic items and some water. PvP itself doesn't bother me, what grinds my gears are those who feel the need to come here to the forums and stroke their epeen by posting why I kill threads but when someone presents a different point of view on the subject your jimmies get a bit rustled. Make all the snide comments you want about carebear servers, they are coming but please tell me what you are going to do when a part of the population on public hives leaves for private hives and reduces the number of players for you to shoot at?

Oh goodie another I kill people and here's why thread. Good for you, you enjoy killing people but who are you people gonna kill when private hives/shards are introduced and you have no one to shoot when they enforce no kos or PvE rules? Oh that's right, people will whine on the forums about how private hives ruined Dayz and no one wants to play vanilla. You people will only have yourselves to blame for lack of interest for vanilla standalone

Sir, yes Sir. I did it for the lulz Sir

I suppose this means you're too good to take an arrow to the knee?

Yeah the sound bug thing is kinda frustrating, was at the nwaf one day with a player I had met and we were chatting and then I saw the blood splatter from his skull but I never heard the shot. He asked what happened and said if he was shot he never heard anything and I told him my side of it, seeing the blood was the only confirmation I had he was shot. Kinda frustrating not knowing which way to run

Its been proposed before on both counts, people are going to balk at the idea of a kill feed more so than the zombie kill counter. Be prepared for the butt hurt though, some people don't want you to know who it was that shot you in the skull. If you died at the nwaf its just safe to assume you got picked off, there are sound glitches where you won't hear the shot. Knowing who killed who could open up a whole new mess because there are some talented snipers and pvpers in this game and if they go on a rampage people could put out "contracts" on them which can in turn lead to griefing and other such shenanigans. I'm not sure about both the kill feed and zombie counter, it just takes away time from fixing bugs like being in game for 10-20 minutes and then get random disconnects or the duping issues, unlimited ammo magazines or any other exploit being used at the moment. Just my 3 cents

Still don't get why people need shit like this to play the game. I mean damn, I can't kill anyone with 30 shots from my m4 so I will give myself unlimited ammo then talk mad shit after I kill you. Good for you on dropping that magazine and not taking the easy route. They need to fix this shit soon, so tired of sketchy things that people can do ingame just to feel like king of the hill

Those things remind me of creepy crawly clowns, really really freaky. All those bastards need is a multi colored car and clown music and I'd never touch this game again, well maybe I'd never kill another player....just spend the rest of my days killing those bastards

Are zeds now ruining items in you pants? I've only ever had them ruin the stuff in my jacket/hoodie. Well I guess that means nothing is safe in your inventory and I'm gonna have to find a way to reduce the amount of stuff I carry, which sucks cause I always have a bunch of food and medical supplies to assist others if they need the help.

Even though it may not be OP to you, some people may not feel the same way. Right now there is no need for thermal scoped guns in my opinion. Maybe later on when the game further along in development but right now the only reason for thermal scoped guns is for PvP and right now we are supposed to be testing the game. You guys have tested the PvP aspect of the game quite extensively and need to move on from the more guns, more bases more loot mentality and actually help test. Stop with all the military weapons and ask for some more civilian or improvised weapons

Oh trust me I am a big believer in apples and berries but I was too busy herpin' and derpin' around looking for other food/loot spots and had just spent the previous 10 minutes of my shortened life running from some axe wielding maniac. Instead of meeting my death by having my wig split open, my guy decided he was to famished to continue. Plus the dude ruined all my apples, berries and water I had in my children's briefcase. This happened before they updated experimental last night, food and loot seem to be spawning a bit more regular. After the update I was able to scrounge a bit of food and drink, even met a helpful survivor named fingerblast who opened my canned food and cleared the zeds out of the area I spawned in.

Yup, you can still survive and find food. It may take scouring every building you come across but people get lazy when looting and stuff gets overlooked. People also scoff at searching for apples and berries but they will keep you alive in a pinch, also hunting/fishing have played a big role in my survival in .48 experimental. Zeds are plentiful, yes some of them still don't behave properly when interacting with walls and doors but overall it feels like the game is getting harsher

Well I can tell you in .48 experimental people are using the whole map from what I've seen. Even those out of the way loot spots are picked over in the far north and and center of the map. Over the last few days I've died a few times due to starvation because most of the food spots are empty even on low pop servers. So people are spreading out more, at least on experimental branch

Thanks for the info, I will keep hunting. Beans for the idea of improvised cord/rope, it would sure come in handy right now

OK here's my dilemma, I can usually find 2 of the 3 components needed to make the improvised backpack, burlap/boar skin and sticks but never all 3 at the same time. Rope seems to be scarce when I need it the most, am I looking in the wrong places? I've checked stores, sheds and barns but do I try to avoid big cities if its possible. Does burlap still work for courier bags and improvised backpacks? Will someone please enlighten me on where i can acquire some rope

Glad to know the 300+ hours I have in Dayz were done wrong. According to the duper, I haven't been enjoying myself by playing legit. I mean shame on us for trying to do it the proper way. Also the quote from the devs(Eugene Hartman I believe) about not knowing how people manage to make the hacked mags, watch YouTube or check out different forums around the net. There are new videos posted everyday about various glitches, exploits and working hacks. Sometimes I wonder if the devs are just as blind as a lot of Dayz players who proclaim after xxx hours in game and have never seen a hacker

If you're looking for the 1911, you may want to check the tents near balota. We've found dozens of them and P1 pistols in the tent area. Magazines are there too but tend to be more scarce than the pistol itself. I tend to find lower grade military loot over by pavlovo and the loot tends to get better at zelenogorsk. Hope that helps

Smoking weed before you game makes things a bit easier to cope with but can cloud your judgement. If I haven't been smoking I usually just avoid people or shoot when they try some shady stuff, if I'm smoking I am a bit friendlier and a bit more forgiving when they try something. I dunno that's just my thoughts on altered mood Dayz gameplay

You did the right thing Cap'n, matter of fact you should have ended their miserable lives much sooner. I've been in some sketchy situations where one friend will log out for a minute or 2 and some dumb shit in our group will get the "let's kill em for his shit" attitude. No remorse just a bullet or 3 for their troubles, does that make us bad people? Nope just survival of the fittest
