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.

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.

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/

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

What you're doing wrong is assuming it's a survival game with emphasis on teamwork and communication. Aside from the fact that the game is still in alpha, there is literately nothing that requires teamwork or any form of communication. And if people do communicate, it's through teamspeak or some other 3rd party software. The game you have in mind is far from being done and most likely will never even exist. Killing On Sight is something that will always be present in DayZ. If you really want to avoid it, wait for private hives and go play with a Role Playing community that has their own server that has a password and is whitelisted. The things you're expecting from public hives are, unfortunately, unrealistic.

Well sorry for playing the game in a way it's meant to be played. if i need stuff. stuff that i see you have. why would i bother going somewhere else to look for said stuff when i could just kill you and take said stuff? Also this is partly the games fault. As there aren't any effective ways to knock someone out from a distance. I'd be more than happy to knock someone out, cuff em, put a burlap on their head, take what i want/need. and then be on my way without killing them. If you shoot on sight why do you do it? because i was bored or got startled. can you explain to me why you are not bad at the game if you shoot on sight? why would i be bad? how would i be bad? i saw you first. i shot first. and you died. sucks for you and that in no way makes me "bad at the game" What is your opinion on people who shoot on sight? It's their choice. If they want people to KoS less then they need to implement reasons not to. Do you think they are just pure douche bags that ruin your DayZ experience? No. Killing players is part of the experience. This isn't rainbow and sunshine land where everyone is friends. Shit has hit the fan and the best stay alive. Should they be ashamed of themselves? Nope. You should be less butthurt or go play on a private hive/RP server with rules.

Dayz could definitely use a lot more gore. Though knowing just how rigid everything is in a game that uses the arma engine, i can't imagine seeing too much of this.. But i'd really like infected to fall apart easier when shooting or hacking them. players as well of course. Nothing i'd like more than a blown open arm or face when shooting them. that alone adds quite a bit of horror to the game.

That's how it's already planned to work.. and they're taking it a step further. You don't just need the engine, you'll need engine parts as well like spark plugs. Vehicle assembly and maintenance is going to be fairly complex.

It certainly would give masks, face bandannas, helmets and other face obscuring items more reason for being in the game. So yeah i'd be all for it. Not anytime soon though, this is something for way after launch.

Sounds like you need better coordination then. I just did that exact thing twice in a row without a problem. run into a house, dance around the zombie and close the door as i run back out. very easy to do and i don't have to to stop at any point (aside from sometimes waiting for the zombie to come in)

It's not a rumor. They talked about it in the last few dev blog, go read em.

yup. http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/536249579742611110/1079061***9EC5FFDCF6E905570FF9E02A867DF/ Found the helmet in the warehouse with the 2 big blue doors, and the visor in the barn with the wooden stairs you can go up on both sides. threw it away somewhere in a field though. Felt out of place wearing cargo pants and hoody (simple look i was going for, average survivor-ish)
