Random sniper near Khelm and surviving a shot in the back
hotcakes replied to Ironclad11's topic in General Discussion
Various gear can block 7.62x51, like the Press Vest. You probably lived because the second shot didn't hit your torso. -
You'll get shot if you have more stuff than everyone else, period.
-
Even rock bottom on the slider was way too high, but I could make it lower in the dayzprofile config. The sensitivity options are near the bottom.
-
Rokkek also broke my HC character's MPD sight. It only flickers on for half a second even with a battery on.
-
How about we fix the stupid shit first like not being able to load a mag into a chambered firearm?
-
Step 1. Find military cosplayer Step 2. Punch head Step 3. ??? Step 4. Laugh at him for good measure Step 5. Take gear Step 6. You just saved countless newspawns by disarming a military cosplayer!

Small, meaningless, yet rare items

It's time for loadout posts already? -
Has anyone noticed a change in the M4A1's operation in experimental? The gun itself recoils violently to the left along with all the other recoil that usually occurs, because the weapon and the character now have separate handling. There's no two-cursor system like in the earlier iterations of DayZ to show where the gun is truly shooting when unscoped. What do you think?
-
You can automate these things with Autohotkey, but you need to learn some scripting.
-
Yes, but there's no reason for the gun to constantly recoil to the left.
-
From my educated, clearly researched findings I declare this: The M4 itself needs to recoil straight up, not to the left.

I finally have my precious, sweet Binoculars

My stable character found his in the police station. -
Imagine if we pulled this off for a couple of hours (er lol!).

I want The Hunger Games in empty woods with the .22 rifle. 1. Contestants start completely fresh. 2. The rifles, magazines, loose ammo, medical supplies, food, etc will be in designated pickup locations. 3. Dunno where to place the contestants, who cares. 4. When the maintainers fire their guns into the air, the event starts. 5. Last man alive wins. You are disqualified when you go unconscious (dunno, probably can't enforce) or die. It was just a silly idea I had when I watched a video of .22 paintball in DayZ (please never do this in real life). It would be amazing for a livestream, but that probably wouldn't work out. -
I didn't even cook the rice, I ate the whole bag because that's what my character does in DayZ.

We're not talking about the same bug, then (or if we were then it's more severe now and always happens to me in .44). I'm assuming you're talking about the invisible slots with 0% food in them. I was talking about a new ghost slot bug in exp where ALL of the slots in a piece of clothing fail to load. You can make them load by dragging one of your items to a vacant slot. When I'm looting victims and the clothing is 100% full it's effectively "dead loot" unless I take the whole article of clothing with me and try to refresh it by rejoining the server. Edit: I've just tried to refresh clothing on my person that failed to load. DROPPING IT DOES NOT HELP. And sometimes when mags/consumables load, they spawn completely empty. Why did the devs literally just push exp to stable?
-
Looks like it carried over from experimental. What the hell am I supposed to do about this? Sometimes the inventory is completely full so I can't refresh it by dragging an item into a vacant slot. This is seriously annoying me when I'm looting bodies. Do I have to take the whole clothing with me? Seriously? It was fine before they pushed experimental to stable, which was a bloody test inside a test to begin with. You can't tell me that adding bugs like this is fine.

I returned to the same server I was playing on because like I said, there's only a 30s/60s timer for rejoining a server you were playing on.
-
Holy shit, I tested this to see for myself. I got a hop timer of 568 seconds.
-
? While I was testing experimental .44 at least, you could leave and rejoin the same server over and over with only a 30s/60s respawn timer.
-
My group uses the U.N getup. And we're usually happy to shoot your legs out.
-
Guy with a crapload of kills and thousands of rounds fired here. M4 is lyfe.
-
They were experimental only, but Rocket is rolling out .44 to stable soon.

I'm being schooled about nonexistent rules by someone that ignores this:
-
I'm not breaking any rules by using those magazines, no matter how you spin it. You're the one pretending there are rules against it.
