Veteran walked Cherno to Kamensk. Low loot in .58 - The Good and Bad
freethink replied to venkman302's topic in General Discussion
My issue is it's a lot easier to get a gun for sniping or even an automatic weapon than it is to get a semi-auto mid-range gun like the sks. -
Interestingly I heard he's pestering bi to release mod tools asap.

There's a mod for arma3 called exile and this is a mod of that. What I'd do for zombies on a similar scale...(see start and last few mins)

What gets me is people hopping in the actual building instead of looting, running to the woods, hopping. Used to be the same in the neaf prison building upstairs back when we had the reloading sound on login. I've seen people log into the shower room of veresnik barracks and one guy managed to log out behind a bush within the compound just as my bullets were in the air. This is quite funny btw https://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/228471-not-a-new-hack/ tbh when the neaf was a mil base, if I woke up early on a sunday morning I'd loot it a few times on different servers. Amazing how many people I met. You'll probably meet more people on low pops at high value areas than high pops. Thing is people server hopping and playing on low pops are fooling themselves and missing out on the game. They'll all have this high end loot and absolutely shit themselves when they come into contact with anyone. I'd much rather have semi-ok gear I've earned legit. -
When I first played I used to loot the neaf on low pops and it was amazing the amount of people I'd bump into. It's actually one of the reasons I dislike low pops now. So no I don't think it's a hack. It's either another server hopper of a low pop player looting a high value location. Funny a low pop hopper complaining about cheating though.

I have a black high cap. Found at Zelen long barracks. I checked stary tents, veresnik and pavlovo and didn't see any others. I only saw one press vest but I wasn't really searching too hard.
-
imo it's on high now and will be dialled down gradually. they can do that without wipes/patches

Playing .58 stable...full server...where is everyone?
freethink replied to vfxtodd's topic in General Discussion
If you want action just hang around veresnik for a little while. I think it beats everywhere for area to action ratio. Also people hop it a lot so full or empty server you'll get a lot of action there. -
zombies in .57 lamer

Do Zombies Dream Of A Good Nights Sleep? (Zombie feedback)
freethink replied to SmashT's topic in General Discussion
I actually like the zombies in breaking point. They are dumb as someone who has a brain virus but there are way more of them. Sometimes they'll walk right past you other times they'll attack. I think maybe reducing the complexity of zombies and increasing the number would work. As it stands we seem to be trying to create complicated ai when maybe someone with a zombie virus isn't going to be that complex. Also with hordes, you need horde ai not to have each individual zombie super intelligent. Birds/ants aren't super clever yet in numbers they can create incredible stuff. Same with recreating human crowds. You don't need to model each human to be intelligent you need to examine the group dynamic. What I always hoped in dayz was that the zombies we saw were the leaders. Like in a flock of birds. You only need the leader to be 'intelligent' the rest of the crowd can just follow - only the head zombie needs to spot/chase, the rest follow and attack nearby targets. Making all the zombies as buffed as the leader is just a resource hog. Essentially follow the leader and lash out at any local targets. Not all individually scan in all directions. -
Ok, so all that seems to happen in this patch...
freethink replied to Shiva_O's topic in General Discussion
Maybe leave the town. I played an hour on high pops and haven't died yet because I didn't run into town. I heard gunshots and ran to the closest place I thought people wouldn't be. Best plan is to run away from the town you spawn in and go to the closest smaller town. -
Wasn't me. The guy is either a combination of extremely lucky and extremely efficient at looting, maybe did it on an empty/lowpop or he cheated. The way the thread is complaining about the devs is why I think it's the latter. No way to be sure though.

70 minutes on stable: http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/430446060877355574/6C952203C3F2C2B2A115B1D4A02D293B04C78C74/ https://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/3ihrii/70_min_on_current_stable_they_messed_up_again/ (not me btw)

You didn't find one shotgun? I've seen loads and am carrying a pump on my back and a sawn off in my backpack - Have also seen sporter (plus clip), lzh, the carbine. Also have a magnum with speedloader. Mosin clip. Makarov. I'm almost light green everything and basically got everything in cernaya polona after spawning just west of svetlo. Took about 30 mins. I did notice that people on stable are ignoring houses that the exp. people have learned to check out.
-
That is almost exactly what I did.

Call me a fan boy if you will, but I'm pumped!

I'm generally lone wolf on exp so it'll be good to play in a group again. -
I cannot wait to see the reaction to this patch - good or bad. I think it's a great patch but I expect a lot of bad reactions from people used to easy access to high end guns. I honestly couldn't play .57 for an extended period of time, it so enraged me.

wur de servers?!
-
I think we dig into .58 for a week (aka slum it) and then hope for .59 asap

I believe it may be related to being within the network bubble of a large camp...see this: https://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/3i7bx7/58_possible_issue_loot_stashes_become/

Interesting thread on Reddit re persistence not working near to dynamic events (choppers/police cars etc) https://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/3i5gex/persistence_not_working_058_exp/ Also, should we have a thread for workarounds for common/nuisance bugs? e.g. in .58 if you can't pick up an object try shutting a door. in .57 if you can't fire a gun you've taken from a dead player you need to relog. I think a list of known workarounds would be helpful.

Man I actually lolled when I saw how close you came to the retail dell price. You probably added the dvd to almost match it exactly. Your build: Total: £574.78 Dell: £579 Here's a ssd http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/sandisk-internal-hard-drive-sdssda240gg25240 gb 60 quid. It's worth going over budget a little imo.

I haven't used a dvd drive in years. Don't even have one on my latest pc. Good build you put together there but I think a smallish ssd (250gb) is worth including.
