From Rocket on the DayZ reddit: "I must remind people this implementation (zombies & their respawn system) is place-holder only, in the strongest sense of that term. Expect the zombie spawning, collision, and behavior to be fully up for revision as an entirely new separate team is currently looking at this."
-
Happened to me before. Vaulting eventually worked. You might try running + vault as well...if you can run.
-
Well then, how exactly are you in a position to say it has "officially" been fixed?
-
Can you link the official statement you're referring to? I've never seen an official statement that the wall glitches were fixed; only that collision and other things were being worked on that among other things would help fix this in the future.
-
This is heavily dependent on where you are searching and how often the server you are on resets. With no loot respawn mechanic high-pop areas are loot-free quickly. So going North and to less popular locations helps. That being said if the server you're on is busy and hasn't restarted in 24 hours it can be tough pickings. That being said this pushes up the survival aspect for me...I like the mad dash to find food as a new spawn.

I have not had a chance to play since 42.xxx was pushed to stable, but I have many hours with build on experimental over the past 3 weeks and had no issues hitting/killing zeds. Lag/desync is the likely culprit if you're having problems at the moment. It sounds like it's a rampant problem they are working to hotfix.

"New players" reaction to this patch is just like..

Of course not. -
"New players" reaction to this patch is just like..
iBane replied to Irish.'s topic in General Discussion
Patience, perspective, and the ability to read patch notes thoroughly... -
Well that's the way it works right now. However, other than fists and machete, movement is normal with melee weapons raised so it's not bad. Also the patch notes indicate this is a problem (not being able to attack from weapon-lowered position) that Devs intend to fix. "Known Issues" "Melee: Cannot conduct melee attack from "lowered" melee stance (press space to chance stance to "raised")"

Haven't played for two months, how's the bandit situation?
iBane replied to onx93's topic in General Discussion
The KOS bandits are EVERYWHERE and there's no way to avoid them...better take at least 6 months off from the game and forums. -
You must raise your weapon to attack zombies now: using the space bar. Previously you didn't have to.

So, as I've never played the Arma II Mod and I've got a lot of time to fill between substantive SA updates, I'd like to spend some of that time playing the Mod. As you know there are lots of choices for the Mod now so I thought I'd get the veteran player community's advice on this issue. In the little research I've done it seems like Epoch is the way to go, but I'd like to hear other opinions Please vote above and comment below with your reasons. Thanks.

Looking For Veteran Advice On Best Dayz Mods
iBane replied to iBane's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Of course you're right this is technically the right thread, but I'll get 100x views and responses in the SA thread...and the topic is at least loosely tied to the SA since I'm asking so I can kill time during SA development. -
FF to 13:15 mark in the vid: http://dayzdev.tumblr.com/post/77808726128/here-is-our-latest-dev-blog-created-on-the-24th Not mentioned in the notes or discussed in detail, but loot re-spawning is listed as in development with zombie respawning. The main takeaway is that this is an area of active development.
-
Here's one quotes on this. There are more I'll try and find. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/156129-confirmed-upcoming-features-for-dayz/?hl=%2Bloot+%2Brespawn Target Delivery: Early 2014 Currently to have the server check if something needs respawning can cause an issue with performance. We did not want to go with a "scripted" solution for respawning, and it is expensive on server performance. Player spawning on the coast is conducted by the engine, and we are going to employ a similar process for managing zombie and loot spawn (possibly parallelized). This is a high priority task and zombie respawn at least is very close to being implemented.
-
Yes yes you are right, but loot respawning has absolutely been addressed. I'll find the quote...
-
Redacted because I'm a dumbass and can't read.
-
The latest ridiculous bitching I've seen is that stone might be required to make fires and how awful/unrealistic that would be...lolllll
-
Are you are running the Experimental version? The experimental servers are off-line right now.
-
This is known...they know it's a problem, but it's apparently not easy to fix or just add a button to turn it of. This is why they have said: "So we hope that this will improve the situation for players although we have more work planned on this." Yes, mouse accel is lame...get over it.
-
Thanks for posting the link.

I always have the sawed-off disappear out of my backpack when I re-log (experimental and stable branches). Anyone else have this happen to them?

Regarding recent cheat accusations [Video for analysis]
iBane replied to simonhedin's topic in General Discussion
He was ESP/Wall hacking...and awful at it. That kind of wall spamming is the telltale sign. -
Yesterday I spent some time patrolling sniper hill in Elektro looking for snipers to kill...didn't find anyone. Checked the few busy Stable Hardcore servers I could find throughout the day. No one around, no shots fired... Next I'll get a Regular mode avatar around there (will be a long run) and see what happens.
-
I haven't been on Stable for several weeks, but with all the maintenance and downtime this weekend to Experimental I've been back on. I was finding LRS spawns fairly regularly on Experimental but isn't spawning on Stable at all or hardly at all. Any of y'all seeing them regularly playing on Stable branch?
