Im going to put some more LSD in my coffee and come back in a bit to see if I can add to this conversation.. brb

Zombies grab ahold of me tightly Flow like a hunter daily and nightly Will it ever stop Yo? I dont know Turn off the lights and go slow To the extreme I rock my axe like a vandal Light up a tree and wax a boar like a candle.

Vanilla Ice gave us the best advice for how to beat rubberbanding: Stop, Collaborate and listen. Just take a short break outside of each building if your getting rubberbanding. Look around, have a snack, etc.. Then walk away, or crawl if its really bad. When things get super out of control the only thing to do is prone crawl away and take breaks every 3-5 feet. But thats when its reaaaaally bad.

The sardines were moved to spawn only at heli crash sites as it was found that they possess too much nutrition and therefore needed to be suppressed. :thumbsup:

Im not mad at you at all.. or upset in any way. I guess it came across like that.. But its just sad that so many people flood experimental to go play with the new stuff, and they shoot everyone they see and hop into glitches and kill players that come by.. it just ruins the chance for other players to find the bugs that pop up when you have servers stressed like we are trying to do. The faster this gets tested the sooner stable gets updated and then people can start to play. Id say wait for wednesday morning rather than entering the slaughterhouse and waiting line that the experimental servers have become. Good luck! And sorry if I came across a bit harsh initially.. I really wasnt thinking about how it would be received. My apologies.

Yes, but it was complicated and funny. He was lost.. we were trying to meet up. It was growing darker by the minute. We were both having some communication issues, and the server was rather unpopulated. I see a player looting the warehouses at Svetlo. He looks like a friendly fellow, and I see a Zed that he will probably run into if he keeps his current course. So I dial in the scope, and wait. He gets close to the Zed, and I am relishing the moment to be a random angel sniper saving lives while scaring the hell out of people all in one fell swoop. So its a rather long shot. I have an M4. Roughly 375m. The dispersion puts my shot in his arm rather than the Zombies head. He runs off like a madman, and eventually we both figure out we have finally found each other by default. The guy I shot on accident was my friend, Vex. ;)

The game should be fun to play. Just like the mod was. That is all.

You should never PLAY in experimental.. you should TEST there. Playing is for stable. Experimental is for testing to push to stable. People mixing this up is what is really ruining the experimental experience.

Thank God there are others like myself.

Isnt it?! I still have a metal plate in my arm from that one.. and still skateboard regularly. :)

Oh.. personal injuries count? I once broke my arm in half while skateboarding (handrail). I set it myself immediately after and my friend almost passed out while a hispanic lady who watched it all happen ran away with her kid.. it was sort of funny. The fire department barely believed me when they got there that it was broke in half.

Wife, Bills, Kids, Taxes..

I slightly remember reading them saying the fireplace is bugged, but that it takes 6 or 8 stones to craft one.

Requesting this bag please.. ..oh wait, they already said they want to make one. :|

All they have to do is modify the Walkie Talkies and you have everything we all want. If you could text with walkies as well as talk, and if there was a global channel people could choose to tune into and if the dang things only took up 1 slot, or could be attached to your vest sort of like your melee sticks to your back that would be optimal.

nb4merge This is in experimental right now.. the first part of the animation plays out when you select eat all, and then you can walk while you still are holding the can and finishing the rest of your meal. ;)

You forgot the option: FUCK NO. :) See all stats do is turn average players into stat tracking asshats hell bent on moving up the ladder. They are useless in a game like DayZ. The hours you have played are all anyone needs.

So "your friend" watched you leave the game geared EVERYTIME... and you still cant figure out who is killing you? ;) j/k

There are 2 reasons people start playing: Survival and PvP. Those that enter for survival often have their ideals shattered by a bullet/fist/blade/bug. I for one have never changed styles from a death. But I have from prejudice, as similarly and previously stated by Gews above.

But this premise is not versus. Its symbiotic. ;)

That is exactly the point.. its more realistic. You call out, you get nothing. You maybe try later. Or get closer to use actual mic chat.. etc.. You would do what you do in real life, rather than have a magical power to instantly speak (type) telepathically to everyone in the game whenever you want no matter how much they want you to stop. Dont get me wrong, I love the things that sidechat/text brings if its global. But the way it was in the mod is not at all how the SA should be. They should find a plausible way to talk to others, but not be forced to listen.

What about some of my ideas above? What if you could not see sidetext unless you turned it on? Then all that senseless stuff would, if done right, not even be present.

Global SideText is amazing for this game.. just amazing. But I do think it should be optional and you can turn it off.. so as to not break the immersion with constant text off to the left. A simple hotkey to turn it off and on, like many other features would work. If things got spammy, you flip it off.. you see another player running, you turn it back on to type to him. It really, really adds to the game.. Either that or we need something like phones in most of the houses that essentially when "picked up" work just like sidetext and you can type to any other player who is on the phone. Many different ways it could be done. Make walkies global, and spawn more so players can pick them up and select "Global" channel and hear anyone who is talking into theirs, or they can select "Local" Channel and then choose from the pre-selected frequencies. This way clans, and common players can have what they need and no one is imposed upon to be forced to hear or read sidechat. In any of the above mentioned ideas of implementing it, each and every player must first choose to be a part of the sidetext. Make it default off, so each player has to turn it on. Or you must have your walkie on, and global selected to hear others. Or the phones idea.. you could have payphones, house phones, and even cell phones that could all work as sidechat/text delivery devices. Make it so you can ring phones if you "learn" their number. Great for houses, and clans with cell phones. What do you think of how it could be implemented that would not be an eyesore or a burden on those that did not want it?

Why does everyone assume we know nothing about firearms, or anything else that is remotely "technical"? Its like we were just born, but somehow we survived a massive apocalypse that seemingly killed everyone else around except for somewhere between 1-99 others that are just like us.. I mean, wut...? :huh:

I have found the weapons sway now when moving your aim from side to side in experimental. Im sure many of you already know this. But lets discuss this fact, since I just found it in experimental and this section is to discuss things that are found in experimental.. Feel free to use these forums to discuss specific experimental patches and things you have found. Right? Ok go, discuss your thoughts on the the new weapon sway animation. :) :huh:
