Lol.. it's MOSIN, not MOLSON (wtf?)

You have the picture of the default plastic handguard for the M4 instead of the magpul one :)

So there's conflicting reports.. does it 1-shot a player or not?

I know that items spawn only on server restarts now, but once they actually get around that, what is the planned way for items to spawn? Will it be based on a timer for all items (sort of like it is now but with no restart), or will items spawn independently (after a spawn is empty for X amount of time, spawn) or maybe randomized to the point it can't be predicted?

But you cant see all from your hands.. just the top row..

Is this intended? Does it happen regardless if we stay opted-in for the experimental or what? (should I disable experimental and patch or not)?

I see, thats interesting, thank you.

What do you mean by global economy?

Yes, the overzealous starvation, I was wondering how I was "extremely hungry", rice bag after rice bag..

I didn't say it was covered in this patch..

Can anyone confirm this is stable adopting the experimental changes.. also, will this wipe my stable chars? :)

I'm more into torture than outright killing people. That said, I don't need to make a thread about it, it would imply I'm pissed off and need to vent.. I don't mind getting killed.

So stable has updated to the experimental changes? (Im at work, cant check).

I was expecting people to not only read the title and hit reply. But then again, I was also expecting the in-game veterans not to make moronic mistakes when trying to deal with someone new to the game. I guess the correlation between the two makes perfect sense.

Hey, thanks for the welcome. I assumed the bug was reported, my intention here was mainly to gauge how often or in what way said things occur so I can take proper measures into not doing the same thing again, nothing more.. I knew what I was getting into when I got the alpha, watched videos, and, to be honest, I've had far, far worse experiences with alpha games than this.

I agree that people with the intention of killing other people usually behave really, really obviously. What's with the act anyway. A 10 times more efficient way would be to just be in a good position BEFORE you have contact, and then just proceed to shoot. No act, no talking. Just open up the conversation with a bullet. Not that I'm a bandit myself, but I do enjoy killing certain people, I like to set up a perfect server hopping scenario. Go to an airfield, close all the doors in one of the buildings, set up fake "fresh" loot, and wait for the click sound people make when they spawn. For some reason I find it really satisfying to kill them, and torture them a bit when they don't die immediately.

I bumped into a guy looting a corpse. He didn't see me, so instead of butchering him I thought I'd actually use some of his gear and proceeded to walk into melee range and headshot him with the revolver. Upon inspecting the remains I've realized that most of his gear was ruined. Is this intended or a bug, I was under the impression that gear gets ruined if the containers holding it get damaged, but obviously it didn't work like that in this scenario.

Haha and you're still using the sig I made :P Small world indeed :) I agree that 1PP are more challenging but more importantly less cheesy imho :)

As a new player, I am not sure which weapon is better. I have a Mosin with a worn long range scope and bipod, and I found an M4 with some basic attachments (no sights, lights, suppressor etc.). I also have a FX pistol that I usually carry around in case I need to shoot a guy if I bump into someone who doesn't talk (it saved me a couple of times already from guys that start swinging axes with no questions asked). So what do you guys think, generally is a better weapon for survival. I mean, I take it if I had an M4 I'd keep that up and prepped to go instead of the pistol, but does it make the pistol obsolete? Or do some of you guys run around with a mosin ready to fire? I can't exactly test the weapons out as ammo is scarce and I don't want to get swarmed by players/zombies.

Do you think the SKS will be a better weapon, 10 rounds, all of which are lethal, and unlike bolt-action, can be delivered very fast? Seems to me like it will solve both of the 2 weapons' problems.

I do not understand the balota obsession. As someone who's just been playing for a few days, I've managed to survive and end-game my char 4 times before dying, I've never set foot in balota.. I just go north and into the mainland for loot.

Well that's mostly a problem with loot positioning and container height IMO. Even if I could never reach those objects, I'd gladly trade them for the ability to know that somone can't be watching me behind a corner or above a wall.

Terrible.

That was my initial assumption, but upon considering the factors it was unlikely. All I've heard was a couple of gunshots, inspecting the corpse that he was looting, I found no firearm. The guy I executed had a mosin. My assumption is he just shot this guy and hadn't got hurt in the process. Since I was in close proximity I would assume that if the guy had been hurt he would have first bandaged himself or checked for surroundings before going to loot, instead, when I arrived he was already crouched over his victim, no blood dripping or anything. Second, I've concluded most gear gets ruined on death, but on injury it just moves down durabiity. I can say with certainty that I don't expect anyone to carry around 90% of ruined items, which was this guys inventory bar the mosin.

When looting barracks my preferred method is to always, ALWAYS turn up the sound and listen to everything, if you hear something hide behind stairs but in such way that when a player is descending he can't see your gun sticking out (so move back a bit). I always catch people off guard like this. I didn't know rice removed water, but then again water is much easier to come by than food so I guess it's not a big deal.
