Borges (DayZ)

Zerosurvival and UK410 are not up to date, so no I don't want to play on those. UK410 is UK, which means high ping for me, no thanks. I'd rather just wait until US3480 gains player base again, which is currently dead. It used to be the most popular server, 50+/60 players for a majority of the day. US3480 runs from steam's arma 2 Dayz mod client now, so any other server you play on which is outdated will not save over to US3480, so I think they were wiped (my character is geared on US434 up north, but on the coast in US3480). Also arma 2 Dayz client seems to be updating itself to higher versions than 124879 so eventually these other servers will fall behind.

Probably a player character with zombie skin, I have that too.

Do not ever log out while driving any vehicle, or this has a chance of happening. Nothing anyone can do about that. Get out of the vehicle first, wait like 5 seconds, then log out. This is game breaking and resulting in people quitting/lower population including myself. Still waiting for any news on 1.8.2.

Yeah Jimmy, vanilla player base has shit the bed. Part of me thinks it's because of 1.8.1 patch. I mean who wants to play with full gun sway 24/7? I guess I'll use this time to take a long break from dayz. Hopefully US3480 will see some population after 1.8.2, but if not quitting might just be the only option.

Dayz vanilla player base is currently dead. I'll probably just quit vanilla if it does not restore after 1.8.2.

This.

Server in my signature..needs player base

Breaking point is pretty bad due to zombies not even being remotely a real threat. Dead nations zombies look a little more challenging resembling arma 2 dayz's zombies, but man Altis gets awfully boring.

Well I'm getting to 100% blood from 50% on one piece of meat, and it takes about 5 seconds. Anyway it's too broken and won't be playing on there until they change servers.

No it's a vanilla server, US3480. Not sure what Jimmy has done with the config but it's running 103718 which also contains the hunger/thirst exploit. Wish he would update. In it's current state it's unplayable which is a shame cause I'd hate to see him lose his player base.

Yeah it's the server apparently.

I've been playing on 103718, will try on 112555.

I mean one piece of cooked meat heals over 5k blood almost instantly. I think it's a bit much.

Cooked meat heals WAY too much.

US3480

I think I have "quit" epoch over 4 times now. Epoch is awesome, but I always get to the point where I obtain a safe, a shit load of briefcases and 50 cals and just destroy my whole arsenal, quit, and go back to vanilla. I feel like epoch is extremely repetitive and desensitizing probably due to the currency system. I always feel the urge to get as much gold as possible. It's too easy because of the loot and vehicles. People say there's no challenge in vanilla, but imo that's where THE challenge is. It's way harder in vanilla to gear up and survive long amounts of time, try and get a vehicle, and an arsenal of weapons. Not to mention now zombies are more of a challenge and deadly in 1.8.1 (although a bit broken) and also I spend less time, but more enjoyable time on vanilla. Currently awaiting 1.8.2 patch and it will be great. Vanilla gets boring too eventually, but always becomes fun again at some point. One thing I do love about epoch though are the m107's.. and that SCAR-H.. :)

Yes the hitscan issue is definitely a problem and usually you'll get hit running by zombies no where near them. I notice this most when I run by them on the side. However that is avoidable once you start seeing how it works. Zombie attack range IS a problem. This is why you keep getting hit and can't reach the zombies in a situation that they're running straight for you, because their attack range is way too far. In an optimal situation if you're getting chased, if you turn around and try and melee one they WILL hit you. These seem like two different problems. Meleeing down zombies out doors was easy in 1.8.0.3, once they tweak their range it will be easier in 1.8.2 hopefully. However I agree that zombies hitting you randomly is a bigger problem.

That's not what I meant. I meant it's ONLY PVP and no survival based on how easy the zombies are in breaking point, or walking zombies in general. Nothing to do with increasing or decreasing the amount of pvp, just that that's ALL there is. I'm not arguing for or against PVP. When zombies are a challenge it gives more incentive to loot more cautiously and strategically, as well as to not aggro a lot of them.

No this is a terrible idea. This is implemented in Arma 3's breaking point, and how TERRIBLE that is. When they're only walking, zeds become child's play with no real challenge, and becomes a 100% easy pvp fest. I didn't even need a weapon in A3 breaking point, you could just sprint 24/7 around everything and loot everything with hardly any danger. Got boring quick. It works for the walking dead, but definitely not for dayz. The way zeds are now are perfect, minus the hit range and broken sneak system. Once these are fixed it will be perfect.

Food isn't that big of an issue. 4-5 cans of food and i'm no longer hungry for quite some time.

It's being worked on for the 1.8.2 patch. Personally I stopped playing until 1.8.2 is released. It's kind of a waste of time until this exhaustion and zombie attack range is fixed. Do you guys have an estimated release date for these fixes?

AMD processors are terrible for gaming compared to intels.,

I will like to add that I love the clothing being in military spawns. +1

This is true. Playing 103718 now and still there.
