Again, see previous response about experience and education regarding video game development. So much Picard from this one.. the farce is strong in you young Skywalker.

Maybe a better title would get people to ACTUALLY read your OP? ..I know I didnt. :|

P1 pistol? This made the patch? image?

Was this even found in an official post of any kind Gews?

Lets keep this answer simple: Because without updates all this game would ever be is an early release alpha. Derp much?

LOL.. same boat Grapple.. Its like DayZ does not want me to have Binoculars or something. :D

Fireaxe still takes the most damage.. so I stick with that. Every now and then you get that headshot on the 1st swing and its worth it.

Its not in yet ?

I am in the same boat Het.. super budget build, very outdated now. But with my SSD and some tweaks and twerks, my game seems to run better than most people who have much better PC's. Its all about how you use your tools, not how much they cost. ;)

Reason #1 to NEVER play on a rented server.. Only official for me, or known trusted host sites that do not belong to some man child.

^ This. The community here as a whole is treated like unwanted guests by the staff and devs. Constant negativity from all sides means I can only blame them so much. But really, your developers and moderators are typically a lot more cool headed and concerned with keeping a customer happy than they are here. In here its basically, "What choice do you have? Dean with it or GTFO."

You havent even played it yet. :|

Semantics.. but Okay, you got me there LOL ;) I never call anything a military simulator unless it strictly and solely is a military simulator, having been in the military myself.. so I make my own distinctions there as well. When something is a video game, its a shooter to me.

Hit "B" I believe.. check your control settings for the button its mapped to. Equip Bino. Raise Bino. Tap "B".. Ive never used them in SA.. but this is my guess based off of the mods and just general guessing in general. ;)

Not a problem.. the reason you do not ever want to ever, ever hack for any reason is: Global Ban. Not worth it by any stretch of the imagination.

Good tag and bag.. however Dump the hacked gear. It can harm you. edit: dude had more morphine than a dope addict after a lottery win! dayyyyyuuuumm!

I enjoy your stance and opinion, but having played DayZ for so long I have a viewpoint I'd like to share. DayZ is just another shooter. But its vast unlike most shooters out there. Its essentially Arma Wasteland with Zombies. This is not a survival sim like many perceive it to be. It tries to achieve that, but this is why Dean states the game is fundamentally flawed.. its a shooter from the ground up. Not a survival sim. Even the SA fails to differentiate itself from the Arma series. You can fill up with food or ignore it for up to 2 hours with little consequence. In that time you can be fully geared and in several firefights on a full server these days. There is no real threat from Zombies when you consider you can just run away from them. They stop following eventually no matter how slow you travel, if you never stop that is. The survival elements are so thin and unfleshed out its hard to even call it that. But the PvP elements are thoroughly fleshed out and have been since day 1. If its a survival game, why be missing almost every element of survival on launch and to this day? No hunting, cooking, persistent containers, farming, and very limited crafting. People forget that this game is Arma with Zombies. That is the premise. It stemmed from a mission that tasked that player to collect loot while staying alive from the NPC threats. Dean added in Zombies, and later other modders and BIS/Dean added in so much more. DayZ is and always will be a PvP oriented sandbox. Sure you can choose to survive. You can choose to just go off and read books until you starve to death too. But dont judge others for PvP, or KOS, or banditry.. their presence is what makes this game so dangerous and tense. Imagine playing single player... would you play it for very long and truly enjoy it as much as DayZ now? Now add in players that can do nothing to hurt or help you. You can only have conversations together. Imagine that option. Now think if they could only help you, not cause harm in any way. Which option sounded best to you? #end viewpoint. Thank you for your time ;)

Im still 0-0 on stab vests and press vests.. But I rarely loot Riffy or Trainstations so Ive got that going for me. Riders jackets Ive found 2. Before the patch I found 2 LRS scopes.. Now I find them more than canteens. Ive seen track suits, many variations of colors of boonie hats (tan/red/multi camo's/blue/grey), zucchini, fire logs, and a 2 headed rabbit once. I may have been slightly intoxicated when I saw it though..

Are you kidding me? I had a long conversation with a zed yesterday.. or was it a can of peaches being eaten? Maybe both.. either way, them Zeds are very chatty kathy if you get close to em. Just grunting and whining about the weather and how things seem to go so much faster now that they are infected.;)

Its easy.. get the hell off the coast.

Do not hack to achieve a moveable camera angle.. just go into the DayZ mods and there are non-hacks that allow you to be a seagull and you can achieve what you wish. For SA you are limited to your players viewpoint only.

^ Perfection. :D :thumbsup:

Also, in exp. at least, if your item of clothing/backpack is ruined it will degrade items held in it.

They moved the spawn points for several reasons.. 1. Electro and Cherno have notorious low FPS, they found the issue and need time to fix it.. shortly after this they moved the spawns. I believe they intended to give people a better experience if the tendency was to stick near the spawn areas. 2. To test their new towns like Svetlo and the inbound other one... I dunno the name. Lets call it Deanville. 3. Now there is equal chance for people to get gear that others used to trek an hour for. The NEAF is near all spawns now, and the loot in Svetlo and Berezino is enough to get fully geared almost as is. Now players who are new, or not oriented to the map fully can still have a chance of getting geared by heading towards the somewhat easy to find NEAF. 4. They be trolling. I think they like trolling over there. It breaks the monotony of coding and testing all day I suppose. ;) Final note, the new loot spawn is being tested right now in Exp.. When they nail that down and release it properly.. everyone will be geared in an hour or so on every server unless they just stay in the same town without traveling at all. So spawns will be a moot point for the most part.

They already said its what was in exp .44 and a few other things like data improvements and such.. this leaves the door open for other additions though so I would hope for maybe a few surprises.
