Requiring a sling for weapons is only cool if I can make one out of rags, or cut the strings or net that is on the round hay bales and use that. Requiring me to find some specific item like rope or to kill an animal+skin it+cure/tan the leather+craft it into a sling is retarded when there is an over abundance of things at hand that would make a functional if trashy looking sling that we cannot access becasue they are not coded in, but very cool if I can make a trashy sling out of the above items among others.

FYI when dealing with an otherwise healthy individual here is a simple rule of 3's A untreated wound can kill you in 3 minutes Exposure can kill you in 3 hours Lack of water can kill you in 3 days Starvation can kill you in, wait for it, 3 WEEKS Food is actually your last concern.

Its funny cause its true, Sure the other guy isn't that bad but they almost invariably do things that clash with how you do things, so your choices are ditch'em or kill'em.

You sure about that friend? Just last week my horse got stuck in a frozen mud pit and spent the night there in a snow storm, I pulled him out with a tractor as soon as I found him and he is doing just fine. Horses are a hell of a lot tougher than humans.

Can we please have a ODF section of the forums for threads like this? "I went to <insert high pop area here> and got shot by <insert playstyle/demographic you don't like here>" Is an ODF issue.

The problem is caused by items flooding the bandwidth, not by the game not using bandwidth, you cannot check your bandwidth in-game yourself, it often doesn't update properly when suffering this issue get a friend on who is far away from you in game to check it for you or use a usage monitoring tool.

no fast draw holsters, that chest holster has a SLOW draw.

While some large gauge needles can pierce a can of food most can't.

If I was really in the situations I end up in in dayz I would wear a cowboy hat, they help keep you dry, help keep you from getting sun burn/heatstroke and keep the sun out of your eyes, why the hell wouldn't you wear one? Long before cowboy hats became a fashion statement they were used for all of those reasons. I am sorry that you poor delicate Europeans are offended by a functioning hat.

Don't bother arguing with them, they have killed the server hopper, no collateral damage at all is possible with this perfect system, NO improvement is possible!!! They have WON, any evidence to the contrary IS A LIE brought forth by server hoppers! <even when evidence brought forward and new ideas are intended to actually curb server hoping for loot. Seriously don't argue with them, unless you don't care about being labeled a server hopper or server hopper sympathizer.

Yes admins who loot their own server and kick anyone that joins always label their servers to indicate that they are violating the terms of service, its not like they lose the server and the money they paid to rent the server if they get caught :D 5 minutes is not making or breaking my gaming experience it is an annoyance except when I was trying to figure out exactly what items caused the unplayable deysnc bug (turned out it had nothing to do with flickering textures and everything to do with containers for me), or today when that bug came back and caused me to get kicked from servers every 3-4 minutes, just like it is nothing more than an annoyance to server hoppers. When self satisfied sanctimonious individuals such as yourself come to these forums and post mindless drivel about the recent logging system preventing server hopping with no downside expect to be called on it, it was not designed to stop server hoppers and it does not stop or even significantly impede server hoppers.

Yes it does, if the server kicks you out do to admins looting their own server, deysnc or a restart it does in fact give you the 5 minute wait if it happens before you were on that server for long enough. Get your facts straight

Join server, server restarts soon after, 5 minute timer Join server, unplayable deysnc, restart computer log back into same server, 4minutes and 30 seconds left to wait, deysnc still there, try another server, 5 minute wait Yeah that timer sure is working as intended punishing evil server hoppers like me!!! Strange how when I run out to airfields all the doors are opened and most of the loot is gone, even when I started heading to the NWAF from near grishino on a near empty server right after a server re start. So glad its stopping evil server hoppers in their tracks.

For me the failure of communication with the server is caused 100% by protector cases/ammoboxes/medical kits if I pick up more than 2 I will be unable to see other players (who can still see me) and unable to move items in my inventory. If I drag Items from the ground into my inventory they will be in my bags the next time I log in, the same applies to dragging items from my inventory to the ground the items will be on the ground when I log back in. If I do not carry protector cases/medical kits /ammo boxes I can play regularly, up until I come into contact with a player who does at that point I am unable to see other players or interact with my inventory aside form dragging items to it or from it and updating when I log out an in. I was able to play with some ammo boxes and medical kits a few nights ago I found 8 on a run from Orlovets to NWAF and all was well until I logged out. I thought the issue had been fixed, but when I tried to play the next morning I suffered the usual issue, ditching the boxes and joining a new server solved it. The fact that I was fine until I began playing a character retrieved from the hive may indicate part of the issue lays there. In the last few days the problem has become so bad that I am kicked from servers in under 5 minutes when suffering this issue, meaning I then get to wait 5 more minutes to attempt to test/fix it This is game breaking, I am unable to play with many people and anyone who does not suffer from this issue can carry many of the items mentioned and get free kills from people like me. Rocket this is NOT an issue with my crappy internet/firewall/antivirus as I can play regularly with players who do not have these items or alone on characters without the items as well as play a half dozen other online games with no issues. Something in your game is causing this it may have something to do with the way these items are handled in communication between players and the servers, or it may have something to do with how characters are saved to and retrieved from the hive. Whatever the cause it is an issue with your code or your architecture, NOT MY CRAPPY INTERNET/FIREWALL/ANTIVIRUS. There maybe some relation to my crappy internet in that the communication related to the boxes uses an excessive amount of bandwidth but that again is a problem with YOUR code/architecture and is not something that I can fix by messing with my settings. I do suffer from deysnc/latency/bad ping during prime time when my ISP is swamped or during the sync up process that follows loading in (usually passes in under a minute), this issue is persistent and entirely separate from that. My PC is a bit dated but has no problems with this game or any other outside of this issue. AMD Fx-4170 4.2ghz MSI 990fxa-gd80v2 AM3+ RADEON HD 6850 RADEON HD 6850 16GB DDR3 (8x2) OCZ agility 120GB SSD Antivirus, have tried with it on and off and with different antivirus programs, problem persists Firewalls, have tried with my PC firewall and router firewall disabled, problem persists windows 7 home premium ISP=http://www.rhinocommunications.net/ 0.97-1.40mbs down 0.30-0.40mbs up doesn't matter if I am playing when the ISP load is low or high (that is what causes the fluctuations) I want to alpha test and play your game, but when you come in here and dismiss it as my internet/firewall/antivirus it really pisses me off. Knars video illustrates the exact issue. Edit: just did a little more testing with 4 friends, bandwidth usage when in contact with players using these items skyrockets observed it as high as 1500, deysnc skyrockets, this is after playing on the same server for over an hour issue free.

OP the pub can absolutely still spawn protector cases The pub is on my short list, weapon attachments spawn, clothing up to military pants, Food, medical supplies, great building.

Yeah op lets channel all the KOS, PVP junkies and COD kiddies into hardcore by making Regular undesirable for PVP. Brilliant plan, just what I want when playing a hardcore survival simulator.

Very strange, even when laying prone with it on my back, as close as I can get to it in game mine shows no holes, time to crank my settings and melt my GPU FOR SCIENCE!!!!!! You are in fact correct, multiple lines of holes, darn, now i really have to get rid of the POS, but in my urgency to find a day server to check it out I lost the M4 I had found!

Can you post a screen shot? Mine shows no holes whatsoever, tho that might be my settings.

Level with the bore is fine, not as good as ports that point up and "up and out" In that pic the holes appear to be below the center-line of the bore, that is BAD, as it will increase muzzle climb and kick up debris when prone, not sure the gun in the picture is level tho, also not sure they are anything more than shadow pixels that got over enhanced.

No holes on mine. I think what you are seeing there are over enhanced pixels, either that or someone is really bad at designing/building/modeling muzzle breaks, holes there would do absolutely nothing to reduce muzzle climb in fact if that SKS is level they would increase muzzle climb not to mention kick dirt up when shot prone. Indeed the picture of a muzzle break you posted appears to feature two lines of vertical holes milled such that they connect to different sides of the bore that is a good design, unlike many brakes sold today and attached to rifles worth far more than an SKS.

Nah it is the yugo model with the shittacular gas system, meaning it should be far less reliable than a typical Chicom or Rusky SKS. Funny that I never bothered to check before I saw this thread. Placed mine on the ground and looked it over I am now ditching it for an M4.

Big bore air rifles and high powered BB guns, the oldest modern firearms and sill the least understood. BTW clean out your in box, I want to PM you.

"hey 42 there is a camera right behind us" "Yeah lets block it and let em get REAL dirty" I know, But misinformation about firearms? I just can't ignore it, its a horrible weakness of mine.

I am saying that crazy things happen and that not all BB guns or 22's are created equal.
