BadAsh (DayZ)

Managed to get myself health (fully energized and hydrated) yesterday in Berezino, which on a full 40 experimental player server had already been throughoutly looted. It isn't that difficult. Ok, I did steal a box of cereal from a group of Germans in the process, but cereal only goes so far.

Gas station explosions can be heard very far away, and they actually continue to explode at regular intervals when they have first been blown up.

That is actually the highway to NWAF. And closing doors is a sound strategy followed by most experienced players.

And they didn't make it super rare.

I think you may find that those places were looted after all, they just only took the mp5, akms and akm parts. ;)

I gather they actually spawn quite frequently (they even spawn in police cars), but what happens whenever they introduce a new gun is everybody is off searching for it, so the demand is quite high even with its increased loot spawn rate. The hype will eventually settle down and the gun will be included in the normal average gun spawn cycle. I haven't found one yet either, but I must admit it is not high on my wishlist, so I have settled with the fact that I will find it whenever I randomly stumble upon it.

The lore is not written in stone though. Lots of things have changed from the mod to SA. This could change as well. Though I doubt it.

Defibrillators are for people who still have a pulse but are unconscious. You can't revive dead people with it. I think the game wanted you to stay on top of the stairs and apply it there, it would then have given you the message that it can't be used on dead people. I have also heard the theory of the red chain appearing when other players are near, but I am not convinced by it. At least I have encountered other players countless times where no red chain ever appeared. On the other hand if you travel the same route numerous times you will notice that the red chain pops up much the same places, which I interpret to mean when the character cross from one partition of the map to another, and that this is much the most frequent way that the red chain appears on screen.

Yeah, most likely tried to combat log. The logout cycle start with crouching and then go to sitting (and then prone etc etc).

There are 30 round mags to be found as well. But yes, it seems anything 9mm in this game is automatically a crap gun.

Yes, there isn't an m4 in every crashsite. I don't consider this a problem though. On the contrary.

The heli crashes has been in the game since .45. But in that build the smoke couldn't be seen more than a couple of hundred meters away. This distance has been lengthened greatly in .046, so it should be easier to spot them from afar now. I can't help but chuckle a bit at your 30 server serverhopping turning up nothing, though.

Yeah, and now that you have gotten one or more pet peeves out of the way, try watching it again with the subject of this thread in mind.

The video I posted above suggests they don't. Although to be fair they were behind massive bunker walls.

Indeed. They are already fast becoming a problem: (around the 5 min mark onwards) This game is soon to become bandit nade duping pandemonium.

Why would you give a worthless hacker such attention? It is a kid who paid money to cheat in a game, and you would use that for your personal entertainment? It is not magic tricks, its pure lameness. If you applause that and provide him with the much needed attention you are basically nothing but an enabler for him.

Zoom vision only zooms a fraction of what binos does. Think LRS.

Just found a pair at tents in Balota on stable. Been a while since I saw them last. Still 4 slot though. Still worth it.

Or that hat...

Damn, I had hoped you would demonstrate its damage capability by shooting your friend there. Since the 9mm pistols in the game deal very little damage, I would be very interested in learning how this gun fares in actual firefights, considering the low damage and probably very low accuracy at any greater range. Anyway, nice to finally see a video of it and hear the sound of it.

There are currently suicide options in the game (jump off something, get eaten by a zombie, drink or eat something poisonous, even letting other players kill you). I wouldn't mind if they added one if you carried a gun or a knife. But it would be very strange to have a default "suicide option" if you aren't carriying anything and are in the middle of nowhere. How would you kill yourself then? Hold your breath?

Be aware that the exp changelog in the Gamepedia is not official, just what various players have discovered and added. It seems for example to not mention the fact that you can throw axes now (and apparently do damage with them) if this video is to be trusted:

I know you are joking and all that, but your joke doesn't make any sense since the video is exactly showing the Slavic peasants enjoying freedom of McDonalds and arms and all that after the fall of Communism. Here is how the Soviets entertained themselves:

The extreme sway, which is a bug, is fixed in the current exp which will come to stable Wednesday. Edit: Oh and yeah the front doorway of the police station is also bugged, you can't shoot through it even with the door open.

If you can't handle the situation stay away from it. Seen plenty of videos where the guy going up the stairs wins. It all depends on the players. And it seems silly to introduce such a change in the building just for the sake of easymode.
