Nice try Sobieski, nice try...

It's only a shame for those who exploit it... <_<

Hmm, you don't seem to understand what I'm saying. There's no 10 round mag for the mosin in game. I never said there was or there was gonna be. Irrelevant. The placeholder factor is that manually loading the mosin, or pressing "r" to reload if you have a 5 round clip start the same animation, which in the future will change as loading a 5 round clip into a mosin is done in a "single" move, and you shouldn't load each round individually. The clip right now dosen't have it's proper animation, that's a fact. Loading Mosin with stripper clips:

Not this week, but next week. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/225355-twitter-eugen-for-those-that-cant-wait-we-currently-aim-to-deliver-the-057-update-a-really-big-one-since-its-been-two-months-next-week/#entry2267529

The Z in DayZ refers to "zero", as in DayZero. The first time ever when you used to spawn in Chernarus, back in 2012, the first thing you saw was probably the shore, and something like :Kamyshovo, Chernarus, Day 0. Since Dean loved the "zombie" genre, he probably used DayZ as an acronym for both Day Zero and Day of the Zombie... The only way to really clear this up would be to ask him personally, but in the end it can mean anything to anyone, it doesn't really matters.

Probably next Wednesday with the maintenance, and the 0.57 stable patch. (Are we gonna have a 0.57 experimental first?? Who knows...) Edit: When is not sure, but we will have a global wipe with the next stable build update, whether it's with a 0.56 stable patch, or 0.57 like they said they'd skip 0.56 stable to stay with the 1 stable update per month at the end of each month.

The main problem right now is that the hunting scope is bugged, and does not magnify to 12x like it's supposed to. I'm glad the mosin will only use the LRS, for authenticity purpose, as since the start we could clearly see the scope was in the way of the reload the mechanism. But then again, it's all placeholder, just like the 5 round clip, which only let's you press "r" to reload, and doesn't do it's job as you still load each round individually, instead of using the said clip to load the gun in a single move. Having the VSS and SVD just adds much more sniping tacticool to the game, which personally I could have avoided completely as I don't play DayZ for military simulation or shooter reasons... But, to each his own!! ;)

Thanks for the heads up, I won't update mine. :thumbsup:

Didn't see any heroes in that, just fresh spawns fooling around... <_<

3 actually, look under the second barrel. ;)

An M107 on another sniper, with what looks like a UZI under the barrel of the second gun... Gun centipede?? This is witchcraft I tell you... :|

Totally understand. And although you did it for the right reason, because of the circumstances it is technically "logging while being in combat". That being said, you did it not to escape battle, but for the reasons you already stated, which is totally fine. Sorry I had to point it out... Glad to hear you made it out alive! (With the 30secs timer, you could have been attacked by infected, or even killed by players by logging there.) Take care and have a good one!

Pretty intense! But the end is pretty much what we call combat logging... <_< Did you survive that?

:thumbsup: I never saw a tree that we weren't able to cut down, yet.

Like Stryker said, the best way is just to cut the tree or bush down. Either with an axe (any axe) for the tree, or any knife for the bush.

Honestly, Rust, The Forest, 7 Days to Die or other games of the genre are great, but different. I hate to break your bubble, but there will never be "base building" in the Stand Alone, not before we get mods at least. It's been stated before that we'll have the ability to barricade buildings and house, but never straight up base building, like in the Epoch mods. And that's a great thing for me, as there are plenty of games with this kind of "Sim City" building popping out of the ground mechanic to play with. That's the main reason why I stopped playing the mod, apart from the vanilla mod, as it completely broke immersion for me. I don't mind it in other games, but not in DayZ. DayZ is a game that strives to bring an "authentic" feel. (Not "realism", as it's a concept that can't be applied to virtual worlds. It's totally flawed.) As for farming, I never had any problems with it. Don't know why it's not working for you. (Did you have fertilizer? Did you water your crops?) Ashwood sticks don't "spawn" anywhere really, that was way before we could harvest them directly. You can either use an axe to chop down a big, or small ashwood tree, or even a birch tree. Or, you can use any kind of knife to "harvest" one ashwood stick from the two types of ashwood trees. Instead of killing humans and becoming a cannibal, you can kill various wildlife: Cows, deers, goats, pigs, boars, chickens, or even fish salt and fresh water fishes. Lastely, the current experimental 0.56 spawns differs from the stable 0.55, you need to learn and adapt to them. Yesterday on the experimental branch I found plenty of canned food that were passed because players ignored the buildings they were in, as usually they don't spawn much. Streamlining the experience is very down the line, if it ever happens. It,s one of the main appeal for many, that every experimental patch you might need to rethink your survival ways, and adapt to the changes. Things we don't even consider in a lot of survival games out there, finished or in development. To each is own. In the end it all comes down to what kind of entertainment you want, and like, as they are simply videos games. I wouldn't want DayZ to be similar to Rust, or any other game for that matter, not in a million years...

Makes sense, and adds to the lore. :thumbsup:

Yes. :thumbsup: 100% Trying to learn this medley right now. The first time I played the DayZ mod, and made a camp fire, first thought I had was to grab my guitar and play some. It was one of the features I loved the most in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, and always thought it was missing in other games. It would be brilliant in the stand alone. I wouldn't be surprised if eventually we have access to something like that. Right now on experimental there's this working radio, no real use except for enjoyment and entertainment. Pretty awesome if you ask me. Lastly, not many people played this game, but Two Worlds 2 had a great mechanic with various instruments. It was a minigame to either have fun, or make some money with the NPCs if you were playing any good. Think of "Keyboard Hero" within a fantastic game, similar to TES series. Either a similar mechanic, or just some selectable/or random songs, I'd be happy with.

Some experimental 0.56 shots.

Duped gear... I would report it to the server owner, and have it wiped. it doesn't remove the problem, but just levels things for a few hours... Can't wait till the single ID items mechanic finally gets fixed and duping is gone... Fantastic little spot by the way, looks very cozy. B)

I'm a big fan of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series so I'm sold to those maps. Would be great to have them for the StandAlone. :thumbsup: We'll see how it goes, but this would be fantastic! New threat to deal with apart for the infected, diseases, players, etc. : Radiation!

Hi fellas! After doing some searching, I've decided to start this topic as I didn't find any answers or help needed to "fix" my problem. Recently, I've had occurrences (3 times) where my favorite server list disappeared. I had to manually search the servers in my list again and re-add them. This can take a while, as the servers you like or play on don't always appear the first time you refresh your list, and can take several tries to find them. The lost of the favorites list only happened 3 times in the course of the last 2 weeks, and never happened to me before, since Dec 18 2013, in 1200hrs of play time. As this ever happened to anyone else? Is there a fix for that? Is there a way to save my favorites list in text format somehow to re-add it in a copy paste manner? Thanks in advance!

Well, it's know that I don't know the name of the servers, but it's more that some have a tough time appearing on the list probably do to high ping. For example, I play on this whitelisted server called the Colony, and we have 2 independent servers, 1-US based and 1-UK based. Normally the US one is full so I log into the UK server instead, but when looking in the server list to re-add them because my favorites are gone, the US one always appear when the list is refreshed, and the UK one takes at least 5-6 full refresh to finally appear. And it's not the only one, so it can take while re-adding the servers I play/like to my favorites. I don't have a choice right now as they don't seem to save in a file I could copy to keep a backup, and when my list disappears, just copy and paste it where it belongs. It's probably just a temporary bug though, so I'll just deal with it. Thanks for the support, much appreciated. :thumbsup:

I've had about 25 favorites at one point, but currently about 10 various private shards I play on. Is there a way to backup the favorite list? Like the historic list we can get access to know the server we're on, or last played. It wouldn't be that much of a bother if all the servers were visible on the list every refresh, but somtimes it takes 4 or 5 complete refresh for some of the servers I like to appear.

Ask Dean Hall, he'll tell you. ;) There was already a thread back in 2012 where players were asking the same thing, for the mod. But, if you've been following Dean, and played the mod, it was pretty obvious since the start... http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/36337-dayz-means-dayzombie-or-dayzero/ No matter what I think or say, or what everyone else think, or say, if Dean Hall, the creator of DayZ, say it stands for "Day Zero", then it's Day Zero. Voilà.
