BadAsh (DayZ)

The rubberbanding in the experimental makes me think I am in a 5 second Ground Hog day.

I have never come across the ashwood stick, not even in the current stable.

I can confirm the folding buttstock can be spraypainted: The wooden handguard cannot. I haven't tried it on the wooden buttstock. The black mag you see on this gun can also be painted.

Yeah, one. They seem to be insanely rare, so I am keeping it (until someone comes along and kills me for it).

It seems to be a tradition that there is at least one item popping up a load error for each patch. It used to be various berets, and in the current stable it is the "lime motorhelmet" and in the exp its the "grey motorhelmet".

It is about rarity of guns on account of them using matching realistic calibers. Loot tweaking is a completely different story and I am not talking about that at all.

I always though part of the hardcore survival simulator was that you couldn't find the exact ammo type for your gun, on account of there being so damn many different types. And that by having devs that insisted on including a wealth of rare as well as common types of guns and ammo they were deliberately making it more difficult for players to match them, and thus forcing them to focus on the gameplay on the survival aspect rather than the tdm.

Just found one of these babies: Then I had "Session lost" and now the servers seem to have trouble finding my character.

I must admit I am completely baffled by that approach towards ammo and ammo types. Seems to go against pretty much any statement by the devs regarding this being a hardcore survival simulator, an anti-game of a game on account of its realism.

There are other videos by him where he uses the squeaky voice in order not to be recognised (or more probably in order to postpone the time when people recognise him, because he never changes his very characteristic dialect), but when people recognise it is him he switches back to his regular voice. And he doesn't use a voice changer to do that in those videos, its just him doing a half-hearted squeaky kid impression.

Nope. Not a voice changer. I really don't understand how you could come to that conclusion, since he doesn't even say the same things in the two videos. He is basically two different characters.

It was definitely not the same words spoken. In the German video he pretends to be a 12-year old bambi from Israel, that pretends to be terrified of all that is going on, all in a squeaky voice which is not made with a voice modulator but just by himself talking in that way. In his own video he has completely redone the dialogue changing his replies (you can often hear the voices of the German group cutting out, since he makes his own words longer than they were originally). And in his own video he does not pretend to be anyone else, he presents himself as a cool level-headed self, making observations about how groups tend to shoot each other and general funny retorts to the comments of the group.

Luckily it seems to be around the first 10 mins. It is actually a rather interesting watch (those first 10 mins) when compared to Frankies version. Tells a lot about Frankies heavy handed editing behaviour. Even to the point of changing dialogue.

If they shoot first because they are panicking then you wont be having any time to be cool and have a convo.

I think private hives unnecessarily limits the experiences made possible by this game. With the public hive only you feel like you can meet every single one of the 2 mil players of the game out there, while with private hives you are suddenly restricted to meeting only the regulars and the few passerbys that happen to choose that hive. It feels like going from an open world simulation to a private party, to be honest.

Happened to me as well yesterday. I was very lucky that two friendly guys spawned a bit later, and I managed to convince them to help me. One of them had found a shotgun and ammo in the police station and by me sticking my head through the door I was just visible enough for the shotgun blast to obliterate my face. I was very grateful for the appeareance of those two friendly neighbourhood murderers.

Anyone know whether the fix of hackmags is implemented in exp? Rocket mentioned they would change it from clientside to serverside so mags couldnt be hacked anymore. If that is in they should definitely do a general characterdatabase reset when this patch goes stable. Especially since with all the m4s out there now, it will be difficult to test how the new loot scarcity of them works.

Handcuffing newspawns, then stabbing and punching them. That seems like bandit behaviour to me (and this is just from watching the first 5 mins of your video, I don't think I will be going through the whole 2 hours after that). Edit: Just starting viewing Frankies video and I notice that he has redone his own dialogue. No more squeaky voice and no more pretending to be a bambi in his video. And I am sure the editing in the rest of the video will be very unrepresentative of what actually went down. A very lousy thing to do indeed (and typical Frankie), but it still doesn't justify your actions at the beginning of your video.

I think its a silly gun, but the more the merrier, so keep bringing in silly guns (and some not so silly ones).

I don't think so. The zombie kept making short stops (to catch its breath?), so it never gained on it. The boar is a really slow animal though. It is very easy to overtake it while wielding a 2 handed weapon. I managed to slay one with my pickaxe, but I didnt have any sharp weapons, so all that good meat was wasted.

I just went through an unlooted Balota and didn't find a single m4 mag. So I suspect they will also only spawn at helicrash sites. AKM mags are really rare as well though. Only found one 30 round during that looting run.

I finally found one: Magazines for them seems very rare though. I searched all through unlooted Balota and only found one 30 round mag. It seems the tents with the woodfloors dont spawn loot anymore. I also found this: No mag for that one.

I do too. They should be rare. I wonder if this means the AKM has taken its place as a military rifle spawn then. I was a NEAF in the experimental but it had already been looted many times over. I have yet to find the AKM or any magazines for it.
