Negatory. http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/3260919109285191208/4A9685B389DAE134EA53C46BA48088D7501740A7/ http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/3260919109285192593/91D0CEF4AAB6412B2621C499337EB95244BA231B/ http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/3260919109287602358/012145EC3E11E4D18AC925A7BECD37042CCA002A/

this.

SKS and mosin bayonets are for stabbing, not cutting they don't have sharp edges. The M4 bayonet should work when it doesn't, so that's a bug.

Do Blackskull Balaclavas still drop since the hotfix?
chompster replied to Grimey Rick's topic in General Discussion
i hope they add the one with just 2 holes for your eyes.. that ones way cooler. -
build a fire and wear a rain coat = never get cold.

I think i'v killed another player with pretty much every weapons besides for the Cr75 and Blaze. I usually find one after i'v found a mosin, or if i do find one and take it i wouldn't hesitate to drop it for a mosin or SKS(unless i had more ammo for the blaze) I just see it as an inferior weapon to all those other ones in every single way (besides the CR275 maybe due to how rare the mags are at the moment)

Anybody remember when Dean Hall said...

Sounds more like they need to improve the wilderness then. Which actually is the issue. Things are very poorly rendered at a distance making it really easy to spot things in the already incredibly thinned out "forests" 90 most likely would become problematic if they want to add a large number of zombies(which i hope they do) so maybe scaling it back down to 50-60 would be better. But as it stands 40 right now just isn't enough. I'm playing on full servers everyday and 3 weeks long i have only met 5 people. All the while hitting busy places (except for Berezino of course. we all know why..) which is pretty lame. And regardless if it stays at 40 or not, people will use some sort of hack and find someones wilderness stash. -
Not sure what you mean with competing with other games? i never said anything about that? What i'm talking about is the fact that the game is already plenty clunky with its controls. Sure you might say it's still the early days but none of BI's fps games have ever not had clunky controls. and the Zombie count is suppose to increase. So more zombies(with shoddy Ai), relatively poor performance(in dense areas where you mainly find zombies) and grabbing would be pretty disastrous. Even worse so on 1st person servers. But lets say it wasn't, unless we as players get some kind of shoving ability i'd still not want a grabbing mechanic for zombies.
-
controls are, and always will be, clunky enough. Adding a grab for zombies would be the last nail in the coffin imo.

Actually both of those were there. Though both were indeed very minimal, i could still go around and find cans of food, weapons and ammo. Zombies were there as well as i got held up by a group of guys and a zombie attacked one of their oblivious friends and ruined his jacked. I'll never forget how he raged in Russian(or a language that sounds like it idk) Still doesn't seem like enough, especially if they expand the map even further. 80-90 would be a lot better imo. -

chompster replied to Weyland Yutani (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
Nope, but i do recall those few days we got to play with 100 players. Wasn't laggy at all for myself and friends. And it was a lot more fun, you'd have way more encounters and not all being hostile compared to now where 9/10 it will be. -
Definitely not what i was expecting when they were talking about new zombie models. Looks awesome! Having some old dude jump you (especially as it's getting dark) would freak me the hell out! Can't wait to see the rest, hopefully with plenty of variation. height, body build, fat, skinny, short, tall. maimed, missing limbs.. the more the merrier.

So my argument was enough to imply something i.e. you're were just assuming it. Yet when i assume something you're saying i look childish and pathetic? nice. And breaking the law? did i ever say any of those people lived in The Netherlands? no. And of course the only people i know live in The Netherlands. God forbid i'v ever been to the US and know people that. nope clearly not possible. I read your post just fine and that you keep it loaded. but we aren't talking about that so thats irrelevant. were talking about finding dropped weapons with magazines in them. And this is turning into a petty argument, but you only stated you'd be fine with it after i called you out on it. your first post in this thread clearly implied that you were against any gun spawning with magazines. But whatever, in the end guess we do agree that some weapons(preferably pistols imo) could spawn with a magazine. It doesn't have to have bullets in them, but it shouldn't be a surprise to find a mag in it.
-
I'm pretty sure no one was asking for every gun to spawn with a magazine in it. Not sure where you got that from. And as you said, considering the situation, that being utter chaos/an outbreak/apocalypse, it would make a lot of sense to find loaded weapons as people would have been using them. And though i get the first part of your post about why you don't keep loaded weapons, that's just you. Well not really, i'm sure there are plenty of others that do so as well. But at the same time pretty much everyone i know that owns a gun has it loaded 24/7/365. So saying "oh well i don't keep it loaded so no one else does" is also not a very good reason why you wouldn't find at least a few loaded firearms.
-
shop? ehh.. what? anyway, you'd find guns with magazines in them because they were used? Why not ask yourself, Why wouldn't i find guns with magazines in them? It's not as if they're brand new, fresh out the box. Or why would everyone suddenly only be taking the mags with them leaving an empty weapon? that makes way less sense.
-
you can chop down bushes with a machete(and maybe some other things) for sticks as well. or just go into a forested area(dark brown ground) look down at the ground and 'search for kindling' which are sticks.
-
had to be player dropped. currently weapons never spawn with mags in them. because they died? dropped it? lost it? plenty of reason for it to happen. It makes far less sense to find a gun without a magazine than to think about why someone would leave a gun with a magazine.
-
Doing any kind of action while walking/running has always been an issue with games on the Arma engine. it's a miracle they managed to get switching weapon while moving to work. but as you can see it's actually just another static animation as when you let go your character keeps walking while switching. So either they do add it and it'll be like switching weapons (you keep walking regardless of pressing W or not) or they don't.

whelp, looks like the glitchiest patch yet :S
chompster replied to hellzbro's topic in General Discussion
Though nothings happened to myself, my friend has been having some really bad luck. He's died upon spawning. fell through floors, got shoved to the side while on stairs causing him to far about a meter and breaking his legs and ruining his pants(and everything in them) pistol holster not holding his gun, gun not waiting to be loaded. Gave me plenty of laughs but he sure wasn't happy about it. Again, none of those have happened to myself, but i was along with him as all that happened to him. Better luck next patch. -
Yeah, noticed as well. Hope they make your character actually scream at some point though, didnt notice tll 4 "i am burning"s later (looked away as i was nuding in closer..) They should buff the wire a bit though, seems impossible to warm up unless you're within "my face is melting" distance. or maybe thats just me.
-
Did a few searches, but was really surprised to not find a single topic about it. Maybe i'm not looking in the right place. oh well. But yeah it seems like the ATC tower at the NE airfield in due for a replacement. There's a new structure already partly there, but you can't interact with it yet. and the current ATC tower has yet to be removed so they're fused together making it pretty hard to see inside it. This really surprised me when i first towards it two days ago. i guess i just missed the devs saying this somewhere or is this news to anyone else? Looks like almost all form of military equipment will only be found on the west side of the map now. Aside from the police stations, i think all you have left is that one jail building up north. screenshots: http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/536249579793407457/561978E75E0810F4972002F7158C62DD149D74FA/ http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/536249579793405950/E64679781707BB9DD5D1BD08FE3862066E579C13/ http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/536249579793404443/5CEE6A79C22F3873EA31BBEBE0E8D60E8CB85CE5/ http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/536249579793401444/1743278FED6732D41633A0DCA4FC0CE067FA3642/ http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/536249579793402887/1E76F0BF7468F69994FA9F4134AD60CC789D6B49/ http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/536249579793392803/BDCFFCA565724557091809DC418E6E057D70F023/ http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/536249579793394879/913CBD3108C4FD62935FA4952529AFC6AD873E21/ http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/536249579793397824/A0DA5B0444F5C6C90E63A2A990F08DFB016E68A3/ http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/536249579793399909/3570B76758D812143424A44A947C21AE5AE7CBC4/ http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/536249579793391387/E43CF4A9008E2E26D16322A3EB443075B1518B4D/ http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/536249579793389694/42337662F56EAB58CC4626D59F0A0C3B092FEF16/ http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/536249579793388251/4A36706522688AE82C94B763DCAF7BD9F596F9BF/ http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/536249579793386286/0B932AB9D53708EA0C4EA5F7FF5DA7238B666C22/

Found Gorka E Military Helmet + Visor in one run
chompster replied to TheWizard14's topic in General Discussion
Seeing how you found em in military barracks i wouldn't necessarily call it lucky. first time i found the helmet and visor was also in 1 run at Novodmitrovsk. -
i'v used it and it worked plenty of times until the battery ran out. first hit knocks them down for a second or 2. second hit kills them. As for the topic itself, melee weapons are still pretty shit. weapons like the crowbars, machetes and pipewrench should kill infected as a sort of compensation for the fact that you can't knock them down (ragdoll) or maim them.

@Lady Kyrah How does falling off a small edege rip your pants to the point that you can't wear them? and idk how badly you've ripped your pants, but whenver i have it's just a small hole or slit. but in no way something that would render my pants unwearable. same with hats, that's just rediculous. definitely needs plenty of balancing, especially melee weapons. it's pretty crazy how a axe made for cutting wood gets ruined chopping down 3 trees when i have a 15 year old axe that with a few sharpening sessions is as good as new(not really) and cuts down trees without a problem. yes it's alpha blah blah blah..

No issues with guns here. have a Mosin with more than enough ammo and a makarov, not mags though. Have run into plenty of shotguns, sks, sporters and cr527's
