Window Licker

Much as above, I like to find a safe place eat and drink until I'm stuffed, then I've spend a minute arranging my inventory take one last look about and log knowing I'm safe.

Honestly Jack I don't know why you are bothering with these people, aside from the common literacy issues, they don't understand anything about game development, the process of creating content even when provided with direct answers they simply ignore and keep spouting the same thing over and over. They have made shit up in their head and decided that is the truth regardless of how far from the truth it is, your being subtlety trolled please take note, leave this thread and it's ignorance behind let these people sit on this thread and circle jerk themselves.

I was thinking barrens

From what I gather persistent storage is in the works and will initially take the form of being able to drop backpacks on the ground with goodies inside and they will survive restarts. For an initial step I am rather content with this and am hoping it will be a long long time before they allow the storage of primary weapons, cos that will mess shit up right there.

First off prop's to Irish, hunting geared players and shooting them down, I look forward to getting shot by you soon!! Mr Merry, I completely agree, it's surprising how a potentially hostile situation can be resolved by talking with the other person, I've had a guy (unarmed) try to threaten me into dropping my gun from hiding, thing was I saw him go in there. He did it all over text chat, don't trust those typers people!! Where I've had rather tense conversations at an airfield that resulted in us parting ways peacefully.

Just to clarify you shoot new spawns who get too close/don't listen or you gun down everyone? do you go to new spawn locations or are these hapless souls just unlucky enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time?

Good read, for me when you got to the numbered points about zombies and forests while I understand your concern and agree with you these are things that I have confidence will be addressed (Dean even mention predator animals e.g bears, wolves or what ever else) Having never played the mod I was for NVG provided it required suitable difficulty to acquire and maintain, the idea of a NV Scope on a sniper rifle is way too OP and I will personally think about flipping a table if they get in the game. Thanks for the post!

Yeah the body cleanup is done at the 10 min mark, I am curious about this as well perhaps they where simply unconscious and logged as they weren't marked as dead, they left when the 30 seconds was up? If someone wants to test this I'll probably be on the experimental on Wednesday PM me asap to setup a time and location.

Garry ‏@hairenmakista 1h @Hicks_206 is there still only supposed to be 4 exp servers? Brian Hicks ‏@Hicks_206 1h @hairenmakista Yes. Garry ‏@hairenmakista 1h @Hicks_206 any eta for the other 54? Brian Hicks ‏@Hicks_206 1h @hairenmakista Soon as we resolve this issue. As I said, the update was to allow us to track data on the backend. So they want to cram the servers that are up to completely full and then see how it handles. No point in updating 50 odd servers just to take them down cos the plan didn't work. Also they did some messing with the mouse no it's not 1:1

Kinda sloppy but this should give you the gist of it. Brian Hicks ‏@Hicks_206 2h You may see an experimental update, this is primarily focused on us measuring some data in the hive - however, some map changes are there. Yam ‏@YamTabasco 1h @Hicks_206 changelog? Brian Hicks ‏@Hicks_206 1h @YamTabasco We don't do changelogs for backend changes.

ahh yes, well can't fault their intentions, maybe their methodology is a bit off, I tried the helping freshie's thing and it pretty much ended up the same as you described. Except I stopped when it was clear that they would be just fine without me, the only time I really hang with freshies now is when I'm a new spawn myself in which case I'll run with a random for a while. I've given more stuff to random players that I've ran into somewhere inland.

You still get to walk away healthy and afaik it doesn't wreck your gun, food and clothing are generally fairly easy to get.

You see a good looking stick, but it's not the perfect length and there is only 2 of them so you pretend they don't exist.... yes that's a porky pie but for the sake of the thread I like to pretend its true, even though it isn't and if you have taken the time to read all this text then you should know that if you notice this notice you will notice this notice is not worth noticing.

I believe the phrase your looking for is a silent partner (plural silent partners) A partner who is not actively involved in the running of a business.aka they put money in but let the people who know what they are doing do their thing.

Honestly I would have simply presumed you to be a server hopper, looted your body, force fed bleach and left you to die, but that more to do with how I feel about that sort of behavior in general and in no way implies that's what you where doing.

Well as was suggested above checking the dev tracker might be a good place to start http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/forum/131-devtracker/ it's always a good place to check often to see what happening, that and the announcements section of the forums. They have been messing with the experimental servers all weekend trying to isolate a couple of issues with client/server connection and they are trying to make it so that players don't experience large de-sync. They have been working all weekend on this issue so I can only assume they are still working on it, they had to go back through previous builds just to find where the issue's began and going through all of the code to figure the how and why behind it all. Then they need to develop a solution for the situation, which while it is a single issue a simple fix would create several other bugs so they need to plan and code accordingly in order to ensure their fix hasn't created another bug that they will need to do the same with further down the line. Edit: They refuse to push the current experimental to stable until they have ironed out these bug's. I'm sure that you are well aware from the warning's that you have to click through every time you start the game that these kinds of issues are expected to occur, I understand your frustration, but when these types of things occur I tend to go do something else. Lately I've been putting a fair amount of time into Skyrim and thanks to the recent steam sale about to sink some time into GTA 5 not to mention I have S3 of Game of Thrones to catch up with and an episode of Viking's, I've always got a book that need's reading then take into account anything the wifey need's done and visiting friends and that's plenty of stuff to do while I'm waiting for things to be fixed.

Well that word took me on a merry trip on Wikipedia. Wikipedia; come to find something specific, stay for hours looking at other random crap.

On the upside they are/where working on this issue over the weekend on the experimental, so hopefully they have it fixed and can push it to stable this Wednesday.

I have a few other questions about the time you spent in game, where did you go? what did you do? did you meet anyone or talk to them? where you robbed, shot or anything like that? did you use a site to navigate or did you man it out and refuse to ask for directions? did you play on stable or experimental? was it daytime night time or a bit of both? did you play the mod or a different game with a similar theme or was this your first shot at this kind of game?

Indeed it has, although for what skills and how they are affected it has not been spoken of recently, it's likely something they will slip in near the end of alpha. So don't hold your breath, well you can try just do it laying down.

Well there's cheating in the sense of wall, teleport, infinite ammo hack/scripts, there's no grey area there obviously, then it's the wall and floor glitcher's who stand in my head in the exact same area, we have the dupers who are also deserving of a solid kick to the genitals. Gamma and brightness are cheating, but much like the glitches there isn't anything that we can do about it right now except not play night servers which is a shame because I'm either forced to do something I consider wrong, be murdered without even having a chance or not play on night servers. This for me is pretty annoying because I love the creepiness and the extra care to ensure I don't get seen elements of the night servers. TS stands on it's own, there's nothing the dev team or anyone else can do to prevent it's use and honestly while I don't use it personally I don't care and haven't taken the time to consider whether or not I considered it cheating until

Ya but last time I was on experimental I was still able to exploit the gamma/brightness sliders, I know what would have made it work for OP but I'm not given to sharing how to exploit the game, bug tracker, then I stfu about it.

I was hardcore inlander for the longest time, lately I've been just staying on the coast and surviving there. I think it's the long ass run inland encountering nothing getting to the airfield and finding someones discarded shotgun that kinda put me off it for a bit. Lately the coast has been kind to me, and while I always have taken the advice to run inland it seems that just doing the opposite of everyone else is yielding decent results. Edit: I have never starved to death in this game.

Yeah, I learned to sew as part of manual training in school, wife doesn't know how to sew.

Once this game is done and they open it up for modding, I believe it will gain a second wind, I get the distinct feeling that a large portion of people who purchased the SA did so without any research and got quite a jarring shock when the game they bought didn't match what they expected. However for all of those who do enjoy the bang bang spawning loaded with items and might as well leave your shoes on the coast cos your driving and flying everywhere. They will have to wait until someone comes out with a mod. The only thing that would kill this is if a different game comes along that can handle the same concept better.
