Ya man us lone wolves are a different breed lol , thanks , and good luck on your journeys sir ... Maybe I'll see you in chernarus in an hour or so , me an a couple friends are searching for the mysterious Aug ...

Don't take it personal caboose , I'm sure it's just cuz you have more posts than any of us and they assumed you would know ... But hey my cousin has NEVER died of a glitch either (just many many broken legs and wiped characters) so he would have had the same reaction ... But on another note I'm coming on today with a three man team , gonna stop my lone wolfing for a bit and rock some 50 man servers hopefully we don't get our asses handed to us lol ...

That's one of the highlights of quarter 1 , 2015 on the road map that was just recently posted all over the forums .. But I'm very excited I really hope to see a lot of progress on the "fun" stuff like advancement in vehicles , ai , weapons (silencers and the sounds of guns being different/ echoing) , containers and persistence working fully , more advancements in cooking (and by the way it sounds , it seems like we will be able to cook our bullets ? Does that mean flammable objects are coming ?) Overall a very exciting time, I can't wait for the next 4 months to be over with lol I just wanna see the surprises it will bring :) ! Edit : oh and it looks like in the picture that none of the light from the fire is shining through any walls ... Will this be one of the first products of the changes made to the renderer in Q1 2015? I'm very excited to see a fix for the light so people will play night servers more often (gamma should not be able to be changed in game , so when the lighting is fixed I would hope the gamma slider in game would be removed so people can't cheat at night ).

I finally went out searching for heli crashes on non-persistent servers today, didn't have much time so i only found two non-smoking helis not even worth mentioning lol . but surprisingly i was well geared already... I started my journey by trying to find some gas for a truck which , luckily, only took about 20 minutes as i was above severograd and found a beautiful gas canister in one of its newest spawn points that i found and posted about earlier this thread: After grabbing the gas i was pretty excited to find a truck and high tail it to the NW - Vybor region for some Helo-Hunting .... After a few crazy battles with the undead i find this beast in my new favorite regroup spot : .... As soon as i saw her i knew the perfect name for this one to commemorate my last truck Bertha , that perfect name : Bessie .So me and Bessie head off but before i make a few tweaks in her engine with my trusty tool (can anyone guess what it is?) on the grassy knoll hill of severograd whilst watching the sun set : Tragedy had to strike , this being Dayz , and it did ... Oh it did ... I'll spare you the details long story short after raiding all of NW airfield and Vybor military , i was run off the road by a zed party chasing an animal and i smashed into a damn set of rocks .... Bessie being broken and all, i left some food and bandages so she may never be hungry and always have something to wipe her tears with .. Oh Bessie... After this great V3S's death i decide to man up and head for Myshinko which was just a few clicks west to find another vehicle , and possibly name this one Michelle, but before reaching my destination i see , low and behold, the damn deer that killed Bessie (indirectly) so i line up my scope and brush the dust off of my moisin and long scope and take a deep breath and fuck this deer up from like 700 m away , he deserved it lol but now i feel bad... Edit: sorry for bad quality, you tube's compression sucks... All in all a great play session , all without seeing a single person , strange =0 ! Now off to work , see you guys in chernarus after hard labor ;) !

By the way Barbossa1955 you CAN take tents to another server, you just empty out a moutain backpack and put it in there after dropping your backpack with all your gear on the new server (so that way you can have both) OR better yet just throw the tent IN your hands and you can hop servers with it !!! A video game is very complex , you can't get to the middle of it without taking out the outer parts first ... So when you ask "why are things added then removed" the answer is just that , because when they add other mechanics they sometimes interfere with earlier mechanics and need to be temporarily taken out .. But If were talking about loot items , balance is needed ... So even though not everyone is running around with automatic guns like the start of dayz back in January , people still find M4'S and FNX's all over (just not nearly as much which is how it should be for gameplay purposes , not everybody runs with a group like you, imagine a lone wolf trying to fight off hunger, cold , zombies AND a group of fully automatic bandits), not to mention the helicopter crash sites are all located on NON PERSISTENT servers (maybe you've been visitng the wrong servers ?) and in them contains all the items you have been missing plus many guns that were just added that you might have missed ... Have faith and don't think that everything is done out of spite towards you and your group just remember normal games take about 2-3 years to make and this game has only been available to the public for LESS than a year (it came out December 24th, 2013 I believe ) and don't try and count the year of 2012-2013 when everybody was just talking about how dean hall wanted to make a standalone game , because production on dayz standalone really started I think around June 2013 under wraps, but that was just to open up all the houses that were never accessible in the mod and to make a new inventory and new look for the game I'm assuming . Just take a break but know that you will lose a lot of your gear but you can avoid that by picking up your tent before Wednesday (apparently the day they wipe the servers of tents if they are pitched , so just pick it up the night before) and avoid freshly restarted servers and server hopping as that is the two main reasons why people frequently lose their gear .. Just stick it out and you will be rewarded with most likely the best survival multiplayer game around in about 6 months to a year .

So you would prefer 15 zombies chasing you stopping randomly after 200 meters , crashing the server or client because most can't handle it at this unptimized stage (my friends computer crashes when the v3s is audible , just imagine his computer trying to visualize 30 zombies and a v3s going down the road in this optimization) .. Or all the zombies chasing you getting caught on a fence simultaneously making some sort of makeshift zombie kickline dance, as opposed to the same number now with improved AI and then adding numbers every patch like they have been ? I'd say it's smart to do it the way they have been , although they have a LOT to work on everywhere else at the same time which is why you aren't seeing the "quick results" you would like ... Balancing it like this is the best option though because they ARE working on melee as well unlike what that other guy fears, and they need the servers to be up to par along with the clients fps to be decent enough to add things like hordes which makes sense to add more and more zombies every optimization patch .. So what we are getting is much better and more enjoyable than just throwing in extra zombies and having to deal with terribly optimized servers , and then working on ai most likely late because they had to deal with implementing much more zombies just to appease the masses that never seem to happen to experience the times when they walk into vybor , myshinko , or elektro and there's like 15 zombies all around coming one after the next trying to get at your nuts lol ... Long story short I can wait for hordes because I don't want to see how much more "dumb" these zombies will be , and I know that in some cites they are already hefty in number and respawns, and to top it all off I can see the true priorities required for more fun and playability over pleasing a small certain group of people who are unhappy with the game at the time .

Yep , went to a persistence ON server , it was the only server I could find a truck on , but for the life of me we couldn't find a helicopter :( some really nicely spread out loot though, it felt like we were actually scavenging (apart from the food which was everywhere) but it took us all night to find two aks and no ammo for it ... I'll try and look on persistence OFF servers for helicopters today before work :)

Always report to the bug tracker! but anyways had a decent run finding vehicles tonight.. finally found a truck at krasnostov convenience , picked up my friend by way of dubrovka and set sail for the Northwest Airfield... All this on a persistent server so we didn't even decide to search for Helicopters or loot on the ground at helo crashes, but we got decently geared (an ak 74 for me - and an ak 101 for the lad , comma trauma the wicked bandit of the west) and then decided to log but right before i found this beauty : (sorry for gamma had to crank that bitch up for the pics) Oh and just an FYI sometimes the zeds don't let go of your truck so you have to get out and pry 'em off ;) !

Well you told me something I didn't know , that all stable servers are by default persistent , i would really love if that's the case because it would mean they are getting closer to fixing Persistence ... I just want my truck to stay after restart lol it's already pretty hard finding them in one restart let alone get to where you need to go !

Ooh gorka , I haven't hit that spot much ... Beans to you when I get home and off of these mobile forums mate !

So has anyone found a truck (v3s) that spawned in the east somewhere ? It seems that the eastern spawns don't spawn v3s at all :0 ! I've been to only about eight servers and checked a total of about 17 spawn points (many multiples of each other , like I checked the chernaya Polyana spawn at least 5 times on 5 different servers ) .. I aka because me and a friend just wanna see her beauty and power since the last update , I've only played it on experimental, and got too many stuck on flimsy fences lol I hope we can at least get off of those damn fences now :) .

Ah ok thanks cpthiner , I always wondered why people liked searching for them ... But honestly I'm with tree top on this I hate the scroll wheel reload options , we should just have multiple reload buttons or like the ability to press 1-5 at the same time as "r" to switch to other magazines or something like that ...

Some people said it was an effect of being cold but cold status never showing ... Try warming up by the fire but after that I don't know maybe it's a half finished shock mechanic or something ?

Well honestly there seems to be no use for these , unless I missed something , everytime I would load one of these into my moisin my character would take just as long when loading the single bullets ... So it seems to not be much of a difference and not worth looking for over the loose bullets .

I'm getting a very strange suspicion that you an alpha dog meat know each other? lol he made a thread describing how he killed you .... No names though just the same story ... This is some strange ass drama ? :0

I liked this story :) and very good information ... If someone reads my comment before this story I suggest you smoke the best herb you have before reading and ingesting all the memes lol awesome .

Most likely , the lucky bastard lol ... I can't wait to find the Aug I think I'll just make a camp and try and settle down with it if I did find one lol ....

It unfortunately is always white even on ultra high settings D: ... My computer renders It as white as well but you're right it's gotta be a rendering issue for everyone because the bow seems a little too white lol ... Unless that's just the intended whiteness of an ashwood trees bark ? :0

Has anyone found a vehicle that spawns in the east yet? Me and a friend checked on our own the staroye, dolina, Msta, chernaya Polana, severograd and krastnostav spawns and found none on two different servers :( it's like they are setting all the gas canister spawns to 1 per server and vehicle spawns 3 per server but only out west .. Can someone debunk my fear of v3s only being available in the west ? As my friends are always fresh spawns lol ...

Finally got out of hard labor , and took a swing at the new stable... it is .... just amazing .. Apart from not finding a v3s yet, i've noticed that this patch is incredibly smooth, actions happen right when requested and changing weapons via the hot bar works like a breeze, also jumping works as soon as you press it as well! Since this patch hit stable i finally have found servers that go from day to night (loving the transition , sunset is usually an orangey pink around Chernarus , something i've forgotten over time). That brings up a good question though, now that there is nightime servers again, will the V3S have working lights? Or will that be saved for another patch, because it would be an awesome surprise if they already had them =).. Oh and i figured out another spawn for Gas Canisters, and the one i found in the picture was 95% ! Also , while hunting for a truck around Severograd (damn compass mislead me lol) i realized this amazing piece of work was put into the game and hardly anyone uses it as a base ... Until I find my V3S that is .....

Can't wait to get out of work today to play some stable ... I wanna go farm for some goodies that people will pay a high price for on the trading forum :) .. Helicopters here we come ? Hopefully ?

Not finding any helicopter crashes on experimental either ... On a side note I had a great time in experimental tonight and surprisingly it was all in a third person server (which I've been playing only first person servers for six months now so going back to 3pp was a weird experience , I found myself only going to third when I was driving it was just a bad habit lol). So my adventure started in kamyshovo .. The damn town was raided , like bad loot spawn and a million fresh spawns raided ... So I decided to pick some Berries and move onto pusta , best decision ever Lol ... Found about 5 cans of food and a water pump which sustained me all the way to Msta (not too far but the walk seemed far this time for some reason) . Whence in Msta I found a truck that I rode to staroye , which promptly got "stolen" (I was trying to avoid the guy that stole it so I basically abandoned the thing in the road near the police station and let him take it so I didn't have to get shot at as I had no weapons lol). After looking for some Jerry cans and coming up empty handed , I leave for NW airfield , get bored see another truck and start to do donuts lawl... I notice another truck approach so I promptly decide a demolition derby is in proper terms ... I rammed this guys truck good and we both spun around lol . So after a good old romp and chase I decide to ditch the truck (he hated me lol but it was a good battle Mang) and head into the jail house at that industrial type fenced in area with three barracks' around it . I meet a friendly clan (CQF I wanna say ?) some really nice people , they tell me a place where I can get some loot and I promptly find an aks-74 u (my first :) ) after getting back to HQ(the jail house) I see the clan has left , probably out to save the world ... so I empty the contents of a One Pispsi to commemorate the friendly clan wherever they may be .. I then meet two more friendlys , one after the next and in turn one was waiting for the other , the second gets shot as he arrives and I tell them to hustle inside the jail house . After a good wait of silence and suspense they decide they are gonna make a run for it to their truck but I decide to stay , they offered to pull up the second v3s as they had one and my demo derby v3s was still in the field , but instead I offered them cover as they both hopped into their truck .. I barely had time to see if they both got into the truck safely before I caught a glimpse in my left periforal , the bandit lining up his shot , I take about 5 single shots with the aks and go unconcious , but it takes about a minute for me to die ... I'm hoping I shot the fucker and my friends were able to get away lol, and if any of my acquaintances I met tonight are reading this good luck and i hope you keep on being friendly ;) . Tl;DR : please read plox .

Got a little base up in myshinko now, right next to the truck spawn :) ... I got a bunch of cows that the zombies herd into town every now and again I can kill , hardly any bandit traffick, and a nice gas station down the road a ways near sosnovka so I can fill my Jerry's ... I'm so set , any other friendly survivors with their bases near myshinko on first person only servers should come visit me some time soon I'm on the us /uk / some times Australian servers (when i need a Jerry can) !

Trading window in my opinion has no merit in this game ... Trading is fine , Papajo , have you tried trading with someone and they backstabbed you ? If so just go on the trading section of the forums there's some trusted traders that will never do this to you . otherwise I believe this is the only way as dayz is supposed to be as realistic as possible (the only things we cut out for the sake of the game are things like needing to crap in game , those are things that truly don't need to make it into the game world ) but a trading window is just too arcadey/unrealistic for any game trying to have free open world decisions ; If you wanna trade in the apocalypse you must take the risk of getting robbed, because in your argument, the only reason why we need this is so you don't get killed whilst making the deal which removes all aspects of apocalypse and fear... Besides all that even if there was some nice little trading window , who's to say the guy you just successfully traded with doesn't shoot you after the deal is done ? That's what makes trading sections of the forums flourish , people love to make unofficial trades in the game that usually ends in blood because people are just dicking around , but if you're serious to trade then it only makes sense to find the other traders dedicated to it which IMO is a great way to trade in the apocalypse lol ..

Awesome idea tullsy , any way that we could somehow see what server type the person/items being trade are coming from ? For example , John Q wants to trade an m4 for a Smersh vest and he is in 1St person only servers ... As some people like me only play in one type like first person , just so people can ignore the trades for the opposite game type .
