Met some Uk guys policing Berezino on Grumpy Gamers, forgot to swap Steam info
darkrider400 replied to KenoSkir88's topic in General Discussion
I'd love to be a part of this. Need a new crew to run with since mine stopped playing. Was pretty well-geared until I got mowed through a wall, so now I'll try and get a Berezino spawn and join the Grumpy Gamers server :P -
So happy right now! For the first time ever, I've accquired my first SVD, about 5 minutes after I got it (I had already found ~10 mags) I saw a person running between the Officers Barrack and the Warehouses at NWAF. Thats when I got my first kill with it. Also, thanks to that guy, who somehow was dumping tons of stuff into the Warehouse that spawns in the barrack, I got my first UMP-45 which I already had like 7 mags for. Currently this is the best setup Ive thought of so far. Ive got Summer Hunting clothing, and a green mountain bag, with a green bandana facemask, aviators, and green ballistic helmet. Btw, problem with the shadiness of that guy is, when I checked the barrack after I killed him, there was nothing in there, but he was on his way back. I checked the Warehouse and he had dumped 2 UMP's, 3 Plate Carrier vests, assorted mags (5.56 stanag's mainly, some SVD and UMP mags), and a few assorted clothing items. How did he manage to find that stuff but when I checked there was nothing?

Double the people, double the zeds. More human competition means more zed competition.

Nope, we'll still be able to brutally murder animals while they're peacefully hibernating. Can't wait to Luke Skywalker my way through the winter.

As the title says, the game stutters VERY BADLY upon entering a server. I didn't used to have a problem with it, but that was a while ago. It happens on any server I try and join. I'll join it, it goes through the usual loading, the UI for the Hotkeys will show up with super-low-res items, and it'll stutter super hard when trying to load the world around me, like Im talking maybe a frame every 10 seconds. This lasts for about a minute and a half before it loads properly. My system is completely within the requirements, and I even have my graphics set lower just in case. Specs: AMD 8120 Eight-Core CPU AMD R9 270X 4gb GPU 8gb of ram Windows 10 (I feel like this might be a part of the problem) 1TB Harddrive (Did a comeplete system re-format a few weeks ago, so plenty of space) AVG antivirus (maybe part of the problem?) Also, I've heard about Steam Overlay in other games making them run badly, could that be part of the issue? Edit: Nevermind, I put some Launch Parameters in (maxVram, maxMem, CpuCount, Threadcount, etc) it seems to have fixed it.

Just wait until we have blizzards and snow. Better get your cans of Emergency Tactical Bacon ready while you still can.

Or just look at the DayZ SA map.

Q: Will static wrecks (Urals, Humvee's, etc) spawn loot again in .59? Q: Will Prison Buildings spawn loot in .59 as well?
-
So, first off Im gonna say I love how the M4 now spawns in the Officer's Barracks. I found one yesterday about 30 seconds before I got killed on a server filled with 40 players, turns out about 30 of them were having a firefight at the tents at NWAF. Only problem is that I haven't seen a STANAG mag for them yet, do they spawn in Regular Military as well or can they only be found at heli crashs? If the M4 spawns in Regular Military the mags should as well. On second point, how hyped are you guys for the new weapons? I can't wait for the Red 9 and the Skorpion, since I don't think the FN FAL is coming out with .59
-
Q: What the biggest weapon we will see in the game, rifle-wise? 7.62, .50 cal, or will we see bigger arms such as APC's and armed aircraft?
-
How to solve distribution of Infected in Chernarus? Simple, put a few hundred in cities like Zelengorsk, Cherno, Elektro, etc, like a spawn rate of 10 per building in cities and 5 per building in towns.
-
*facepalm* Don't bitch because you didn't understand. They announced several new weapons (Glock, FN FAL, Skorpion, Red 9, Tazer, Air Gun, etc.), but there wasn't any news on them so I was disappointed, on the subject on guns. I never said I was disappointed about the whole status report. Don't assume the unknown. Edit: Not to mention that it seems like you skipped the rest of what I wrote about the physics and sounds.
-
Figured there'd have been some news on the new weapons and Tisy base. I was wrong. And disappointed. Don't get me wrong, the vehicle stuff falling off (LOOK AT THOSE NOT GLITCHY PHYSICS, WHOO!), the new sounds, and that house in the ocean on the last picture of Cherno (off to the left side of the port), and the multi-threading is great, but it wouldn't kill anyone to give some news on the new guns and areas.

ive got 8 or so free slots, I can definitely make so room though. I've got some burlap currently taking up space but im making Gun Wraps so it wont be there long -
Nice video. It's sad that Jack had to end up like that, unfortunately its part of all our reactions in such tense areas like that.

Its a zombie game, without zombies. They're needed/required whether it lowers FPS or not.

Day Z as it should be : The Earth Abides
darkrider400 replied to Whyherro123's topic in General Discussion
We need to be able to barricade towns and create communities. We need to have seasons, so in deep apocalyptic winters we need to work together to stay warm and caravans (traders groups) will have to go and loot unused towns, trade with towns, or raid other towns. This game needs to promote more teamwork and not have an obvious endgame. Currently once you get the gun you want and clothes you want, thats it, you're done, endgame. -

Okay, so going off of memory here because Im in school right now :P Heres what I have: Gorka Paut-Rev Pants and Jacket Flecktarn Boonie Hat (With fishing hook) Brown Wellies Plate Carrier Complete Set (Has holster for my Magnum and 10 slots) Tan Gloves Designer Sunglasses Face Mask Camo Pattern Improvised BackPack SVD Dragonov Magnum UMP-45 Machete 2 Mags for both UMP and SVD 2 Speedloaders for Magnum 24 reserve rounds for Magnum 100 reserve rounds for UMP 60 reserve rounds for SVD Combat Knife 2 Emergency Cans of Tactical Bacon Canteen 2 Bandages Morphine Sewing Kit Thats all I can remember so far, if thats isn't everything. Going to craft two gun wraps, cancelling the ghille suit though. Also, I see you guys thought I was double-carrying. I have space in my backpack for the UMP, so I can place my UMP in my bag when I need the SVD. -

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I was going to get rid of my mountain bag and take on the whole Live Off The Land thing. I'll carry my UMP and have my SVD on my back, ill find a machete and use that instead of a Fire Axe. Also I don't have the Mosin anymore, I dumped that when I found the SVD. The magnum is currently in my Plate Carrier Holster, Im trying to find the Attachable Pouches right now. Ive got two Carrying Containers (the yellow boxes), I'll dump all but 2 of each mag's ammo into them, it'll probably only take one Container for both ammo types. The second one I think I'll dedicate to thos bandages and utilities like combat knife (instead of can opener, allows me to skin/gut animals, unless the machete can do it too), sewing kit, and matches. Any extra space I'll keep open for when I need to create a fire or hunt. Ill see if I can find a barrel or tent, likely barrel though, and place it in a pine tree somewhere out of the way, Ill keep some lower guns and ammo in there, along with some spare military (gorka) cloths. Do you guys think I should go for a Ghillie Suit if I'm going to switch for an Improvised Pack? -
The favorable guns part only included the UMP and MP5, because they're better than the PM-73. M4 isn't a favorable gun to some people, some prefer the AK's. I wouldn't mind if the M4's and AUG's returned to their Heli Crash sites, but I'd like to see the UMP or the MP5 (not both) spawn in regular military.
-
That's a pretty controversial issue in my head. I like the availability of those guns because it forces a player to make a decision based on the current weapon they have, and what they want. Many players I've asked prefer the AK over the M4 and AUG, just because of ammo availability and common use, and because of the trouble of finding at least one of the three heli wrecks that have like 70 different areas to spawn at, it just isn't worth the trouble. Personally, I like my UMP and SVD setup, however, considering that the PM-73 is the only Russian SMG ingame (not including AKS-74U) right now, and it's Less than Like-able status (ugly, clips aren't common in residential areas, unmoddable), the current setup allows us to hunt for the more favorable guns, which are already rare in comparison to other guns such as AK's. Or were you not being serious?

Oh but my trip was not a short one. I'll post a map with some edits to show my travels :D Edit: Well, I would if I could find an actual current map to edit, but I cant find one, so Ill just say my trip by town names. Heres how it goes: Svetlojarsk, Cernaya Polana, Western bit of Novodmitrovsk, Nagornoe, Secret Base Ruins, Kamensk, Polesovo, Eastern bit of Zaprudnoe, then finally to NWAF. In each of those little towns I checked EVERY, SINGLE, BUILDING, even sheds, I found myself a Mosin and a PU scope, with ~50 rounds, a Magnum with ~30 rounds and a speedloader, mountain bag, summer hunting clothes, and assorted ammo in case I found anything else. I got all of my UMP and SVD mags at the Secret Base because I server-hopped a few times. It was a long trip though, took me around 4-5 hours to complete :P -
Seemed a lot safer with Zeds around...
darkrider400 replied to Konfucious K's topic in General Discussion
Agreed. Zeds used to comfort me because I've met players who needed help fighting zeds and we'd be friends :P It keeps people from looting buildings so quickly and cleanly too.
