  1. Guess I'll stop taking you seriously.

    Water purification

    I think water pumps will always be clean, but with swamps/lakes/streams/ponds you will be taking a chance if you don't purify. Edit: I may be wrong about the pumps

    [KOS] vs [FOG] epic Solnichny battle

    Yeah man! I never waited to bandage long enough to test it but a 7.62 round should certainly make you bleed out faster, especially with increased movement. That was unbelievably long. But hey I'm sure it's subject to change. Good watch nonetheless. :beans:
  4. I can't say I've ever experienced lag or desync anything close to this in combat. Never encountered hackers/cheaters either but I've seen some videos that are certainly proof of their existence. But I get where you're coming from, people jump to conclusions too fast..

    Walking is exhausting...

    Can't say I've experienced this. After becoming exhausted from running I've been able to rest up by walking.

    There are simple not enough guns in this game.

    Played a few hours last night on a half full 64man server that hadn't been reset in a while. Found an SKS, found a FNX, lost the FNX in a wall, found a Mosin which I left there, found a B95 which I left there, and finally found a Magnum. If anything there's too many guns. I don't think adding more guns is the right fix for loot not respawning. Patience. :)

    Food poisoning woes

    I thought Merino already confirmed that "vomiting to rid self of sickness" was a myth? In fact you're worse off if you do. http://youtu.be/A29-75325kg?t=7m45s That is, however, from an older version.

    fist up sprinting no longer?

    Calling it an exploit =/= you're evil for doing it. I don't really care if it was intended or not but I'm happy it's been removed even though I used it regularly when it was available. That's not to say I'm against some sort of temporary fast sprint. BUT.. if something like that is added, it should not have to do with raising your fists first. It's highly awkward and sprinting should not involve your readiness stance. But overall I feel like the existing sprint is fast enough.
  9. That's a lot of different subjects for one thread. I mean - you really can't group exploiting and being killed in the same thread.

    Feeling remorseful...

    From a game morality standpoint, server hopping is worse because it's exploiting the game. From a social morality standpoint, what you did was horrible, but that's kind of what makes the game good so I'd say server hopping is worse overall. Server hoppers would prob never run into this situation because they bypass the need for it by getting geared up without actually playing the game.

    Anybody else crashing?

    Here's the originals: sceneComplexity=500000;shadowZDistance=100;viewDistance=2000;preferredObjectViewDistance=1600; Although I'm pretty sure they'll revert if you just uncheck "Read Only" in the properties.
  12. I don't know if you've just been lucky or you play on low-pop servers. Have you even played on a 64+ player server yet? Staying on the coast is the worst idea.
  13. No difference in what? You never stated what you were comparing about the two.

    Anybody else crashing?

    I've messed with those values and never had an issue. However, since playing the most recent experimental I have had my first crash to desktop since DayZ was first released. It wasn't 5-10 minutes in though, more like 30.

    do loots spawn at gas stations?

    I've found map pieces and soda/food from time to time in gas stations. It's been a while since I've been in one that hasn't been looted though; it's probably been a couple of updates.
  16. I highly doubt the coast had much unless the server was restarting every 30 minutes.

    where all the burlap sacks at?

    Yeah I have yet to find a burlap sack and rope before finding a decent backpack. I'd like to build one but haven't had a reason to thus far.

    fist up sprinting no longer?

    I agree. Although it may have been a "minor" exploit, it was still an exploit by definition I suppose. I actually didn't know of fist running until a few weeks ago. I met some guy in game and I thought he was trolling me when he told me you run faster with fists up. But after a quick race he had me convinced, lol. I'm glad it was fixed, I felt stupid coming in and out of a run with my firsts up. Plus it seemed too fast imo.

    100 Slot Server

    Oh so you've "never" had trouble finding loot on 100 player servers? For the whole 5 hours they've been up? :)

    Massive exploit/hack

    Did you watch the videos on the second page? Very convincing indeed, no way that was desync. I was skeptical myself as I have never encountered any hackers.

    VoIP hack?

    This. I've had this happen a few times when spawning in. Relogging has always fixed it for me. Usually if it happens in the beginning, I'll be hearing the same guy every time he meets somebody lol. Freaked me the hell out a few times, I'm in the middle of searching Svetlo trying to talk to some guy who's somewhere across the map.

    What Do You Think About The Long Spawning Time ?

    I think it's great. If anything, it should increase even more with consecutive server hops but the initial penalty should remain the same.

    100 Slot Server

    Your post seemed alot more snide than OP's post seemed bitchy. To me it seemed as though he was simply describing his experience. Nothing to jump on him for. Oh well, no biggie. Anyway, this thread got me excited to try experimental again. Off to a ridiculous 100 player server!
  24. Prior to this experimental I've had no issues with rubber banding. However, after trying a few servers a little bit ago I was rubber-banding like crazy. Pretty much unplayable. At first I thought it was the fact that I was in a nearly full 100 player sever but I had the same issue in a nearly empty server. Awesome to know about the berries though.
