When is the update going to be distributed? I still can't update from 0.31.114008 for stable and same with experimental.

.. its not a bug, its an implementation from what i hear. it requires mosin players to actually be patient with their shots.

Require update or reinstall? o.o version 30.114008 Stable version. Even tried switching to experimental and still the same thing.

Yeah, i can't get my version to update to 0.32. I guess we wait.

anyone else having issues?

my steam won't update. still @ 30.114008

How did you fix it? o.o

Hmm not sure personally. I was killed by a sawn-off in 1 shot. Was healthy and full blood/health. Probably need more dmg testing to confirm anything. Any willing volunteers? :P

Not bad, I quite enjoyed the changes. Too list a few. - Mosin looks SEXY with black spraypaint, also you can only chamber 1 bullet at a time now in order to lower the "spray" - M4 now has numerous new cosmetic mods. Namely a Green MAGPUL stock - .357 Magnum now has a speedloader, which does exactly what its name says. - Weapon durability is now SHOWN. You can have some weapons that aren't prestine. - The Sawed off is concealable within your backpack. The only firearm capable of doing so (not considering the FNX and Magnum of course) - New zombies look pretty sweet - FNX pistol has a new light attachment - NO MORE RUBBER BANDING, ran for miles and nothing happened. woot woot - backpacks are now a joy to find instead of "oh just another backpack" - 7.62 ammo boxes are now a different color in order to avoid confusion between the other 5.56 box. (5.56 box remains cardboard colored while 7.62 is now a white box) - Shotgun also has a "speedloader" type device that allows 2 shells to be loaded in quickly - M4 kind of hard to find now, consider yourself one of the most luckiest people alive to find it in a school now. Just some of the changes made. Favorite change is the mosin though. P.S. If you own a dual monitor like myself, the game now CONTINUES to run even while in the background so you can see whats happening while looking at the dayz map :P

actually im pretty sure the burlap sack works. Don't know the technicalities about them though. I was 'bagged' by another player lol

No need to be anal about it. wow. you must be one of the fresh spawn KoS people. :P

you won't be dissapointed! its 1hko within 10m

FYI there was a 64 cap room as well.

you can't put 5 bullets into the mosin anymore. you have to chamber 1, shoot, chamber another one, shoot, chamber, shoot ..

I literally just turned on steam when it started downloading dayz. One of the first people to get to NWAF and find all the goodies :P

Still waiting on a 31.114500 server too rear its ugly head.

is it just me or the servers crashing?

you mean locally hosting? how would i do that? o.o

is there a certain time this patch is happening? :o

Alright so before I begin my shpeel, I'll give you my background as a gamer so you guys understand the experience I have as a new player to DayZ. I've played FPS such as Soldier Front, AVA, CS:GO for about 6 years. RPG (Guild Wars 2, Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age) for about 3 years. Never laid a hand on DayZ the mod, also never seen any game play from the mod. So everything is new to me. The suggestions and comments I make below are just my opinion and not necessarily what is wrong with the community/game. This is just from a completely new player perspective. Some of this may conflict the core ideals that the dev's are trying to put forth into the SA. 1. Tooltips or Tutorials for people wanting beginner tips. I'm sure everyone who starts out with just a flashlight, battery, and clothes off their back aren't as lucky to get into a daylight server their first go. Maybe get some tooltips to pop up for the new players that have just came into the game. My suggestion would be to have it on by default or have it come up as an option for people that are playing DayZ for the first time. I know I ran around in the dark for about 30 minutes until I found out about how to work it. The youtube videos and how-to's aren't very obvious when you first start the game. 2. Better way to find friends Steam integration is great, but when you are trying to find your friends in the vast death ground that is Chernarus, it can be extremely taxing. I thought every apartment condo was part of cherno for the first couple days. So we had no idea what so ever. I saw a topic here before saying that fresh spawns should be able to spawn next to each other if they are part of a party or something. Would be pretty sweet. I realize the survival realism is trying to be maintained but in all honesty, not everyone comes to DayZ to play by themselves. The lone wolf aspect is cool and all, but there has to be some kind of compromise between realism and gamer intuition. . 3. Better GUI for character effects. I'm sure dev's already have something better planned, but just putting it on the list. New players can easily find the inventory, but when it comes to trying to heal and regain blood, its so hit-or-miss between being full for food or water. Made my friends and myself included throw up because the hidden water values inside the cans of food. We didn't know if it was saying "I'm feeling stuffed" for thirst or hunger. Maybe some new notifications? Should be an easy fix. 4. Zombie Collision Detection For the love of God, PLEASE add zombie collision detection before you decide to add more zombies to the servers. Having a literal 360 degree horde running at you through walls and buildings is alittle op. 5. Stop Loot / Combat loggers or at least hinder them. Give each new logger a timer of 5 minutes within the server before he can switch again. Should be a respectable time before he/she can log into another server. As for combat loggers, make sure they also have a timer from last combat to log out. If he/she deals damage to someone, give them a server lock of 2 minutes or something of that nature. I can't think of a logical explanation for someone logging into a server and logging out right after looting / going into combat other then the need of completely exiting the game. If people are desperate enough to go to that extent, I say let them. 6. More Road Signs Self explanatory Everything else I have is due to bugs and / or need further implementation so I'll save those for another time. I completely enjoy DayZ even though its an alpha and has alot of work. Lots of potential for this game and I am very hopeful to the future of it. Thank you so much dev's and readers for taking the time to make DayZ what it is and will be. P.S. Can anyone tell me what the server icons mean? Referring to the Red / Yellow chains that appear ingame sometimes. Preferably pictures and descriptions to their intentions?

LOOOOOOOOOOL I was laughing as soon as I read the title. You sir, dug your own grave giving ammo AND a gun. Next time you want to be friendly to Mr.Bambi, give him a crowbar..

This please? :(

Can anyone point me in the direction of the server icon legends? Red link and yellow link means ?

anyone else getting huge rubber banding issues? o.o

I'm sure something like this will naturally develop when they implement the camp and base building in the future updates.
