Death By Crowbar

Zombies are still a work in progress, there's still a lot coming for them. As for guns, some of the common locations you used to look 14 months ago may have changed, and also the server type you're on has an impact as well (the loot economies are still a bit screwy, I think today's update is meant to address some of that if I read the notes right). There's a ton more interesting stuff now then there was 14 months ago. I think the average Joe doesn't worry about can openers, heck, you can even open cans with a sledge hammer (which is hilarious). You'll notice some things such as the bipod are now gone, but there's a bunch of new guns and meelee weapons. Sledge hammers are so easy to find, those and garden hoes are pretty kick ass when you don't have an ax. Look in places you wouldn't have thought of before for loot (sheds, coast in boats, etc).

Do you use "The Locator" or "The Burster"? You know... Chiaka warfare...

I love you, let's be friends.

There are times when I wonder if people just wait there to troll others or if the devs somehow put screwy events up there to mess with people. Strange things do happen up on Green Mountain...

So yazar8, you just keep spare bayonets lying around your desk?

Apparently the new renderer might show it's head soon. There's been a bunch of excitement about that. V3S trucks are around and make for something interesting (when they're not glitching under the world). It's like Cap'n says, a fun buggy mess (which is ok, it's still early access alpha), it's keeping my interest at 1000+ hours still. Progress is being made and interesting things keep popping up every Wednesday.

I can never find the mags for these. I think I've found one ever... isn't it the case the 22 mags only spawn in military locations? I always found it funny that it's so split up, it's a civilian gun, but the mags are only in military locations, yet the gun is never in military locations. Weirdness.

There's a few ways: Get lucky with spawns. Get lucky finding a well geared corpse. Survive for a long time and run a long way. There's a few jails, military barracks, etc you can hit traveling from Cherno apts up on the hill -> Balota -> military base -> NWAF and then back again. I've done this a few times but I've found it's a lot of running to loot whore and lose easily. Server hop (lame). Get lucky (or be skilled like Anthony Kongphan) and kill a few fairly geared people.

No no... don't do that. Server hopping is gimp. N00b. Lame. Pleeb. Bambi play.

Well, let's non-scientifically weight how likely you are to run into someone at each of those cities... all of those coastal towns I'd give a 5-10x more likelihood of someone hitting due to the PVP zerg fest going on between Elektro and Cherno (especially Elektro). Anyone who gets a spawn nearby there will hit those tiny coastal towns first before heading back into the PVP fray. I really don't think the average joe would spend the time to head inland first. Those towns I rarely see anyone, even on 35+ pop servers, I almost consider them safe.

The quantum superposition of a V3S may flip causing an anti-V3S to exist which is equal and opposite. Science is still working on a way to create anti-V3S in large quantities because it's potential is game changing and may lead to more vehicular options in the future. For great science! V3S = above ground and mobileanti-V3S = below ground and immobile

I know that the ballistic helmet and *maybe* that flight/jet helmet help against headshots, I was always under the impression that the rest didn't help much. I'm also curious if my understanding on this is accurate, and I'm also curious about which actually help in fist fights... the old rule of thumb was that moto helmets prevented against fist knock out but now with the other new things (bike helmet, work helmet, welding mask, etc) which actually help against headshots and which actually help against fist knock out.

Fat survivors with poor calcium in their diets. There's not a single item that BI has put into the game that seems like it's a reasonable source of calcium. All you guys are overfed on crap such as beans, bacon, cereal, and human butt meat. That powdered milk could save your life!

When you want to find something common like burlap, try the places where everyone in the world isn't looking for them too.

That's not really a "Bandit Challenge", that's a murder spree challenge. A bandit challenge would be something like: Bandit Challenge Over the next week track points for the following activities, post your score back when done. +10 pts each time you handcuff someone (unwilling) +5 pts if you put a burlap sack over their head +1 pts for each food/drink forced fed to them +5 pts for force feeding disinfectant spray +5 pts for force feeding them human meat +20 if they get that crazy disease and start crying +3 points for running off and leaving them handcuffed +10 points for holding someone up + 5 points for breaking their legs +1 point for each item taken from them +5 points for leaving them naked +2 points if you only steal their shoes +10 points for each random person who's legs you break and leave crawling around +20 points if there's no town in sight I dunno, something like this. I'd have to take more time to sort it out as what I wrote is a bit of a mess.

I support this effort. You're doing it right... :beans: So... how does cannibalism effect an ESRB rating? :lol:

You sound tasty.

LOL @ trash talking zombies... I need to do that more... ... or maybe not, given the karma you experienced afterward.

Wasn't sure the best place to put this so I thought under servers might make sense. I reported 1 instance of a server admin kicking people upon joining on the public hive maybe 2-3 weeks ago. Today, Fragnet's ticket system mass spammed me as if their system got hacked somehow. Anyone else ever open a ticket with Fragnet and experience this? This is nuts!

Ok good, I'm not alone and crazy. I was worried I'd eaten raw human meat last night or something and was paying the price...

You should use your mic and make friends. When you find someone with gear you like, kill them and it's all yours!

The 3-4 times I've messaged him he's responded. Actually all mentioned and even accolyte have responded to everything I've ever sent them. All seem pretty responsive.

You should report this to boneboys or some other mod.

Here's one article that may help: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/220229-want-40-fps-in-big-citys-click-here/

This one gets me a lot. There's other weird tricks that help - such as if you drop a gun (or any item) and it disappears, try dropping something else, such as a bandage, or picking up something else nearby. It's like quantum mechanics, crap just pops in and out of existence randomly. Sometimes you get that random gun or the coke can atop the TV/table that's floating in a superposition state, if you actually manage to open it you'll find schrodinger's dead cat.
