I have been checking factories lately, you know those 2 story buildings that also have the giant factory floor of 8-10 factory machines. I saw a pitchfork that was half displayed between the upstairs floor, and the other half went through the wall into an inaccessible area of the upstairs. After seeing this, I started checking other factories with the 'wall-peek' trick, and I have seen both pistols and ammo behind the wall, in an area we can't get. I have never seen anyone wall glitch this, so I don't think you can loot these items currently. I was first on server when it reset after maintenance, and it had a box of 357 ammo behind the wall. I now wonder what other buildings are spawning loot that we can't see/access?

I have never classified it as a survival-horror game. Maybe your expectations are just wrong. You could also argue that humans are the ONLY thing that could make it a horror game. Almost no amount of AI will achieve a horror effect.

I think most people like harder hitting zombies, but I've respawned a couple times the last 2 days, and they are rough on new spawns. They can run as fast as us even when unarmed. This, coupled with the hurdle move, they can hit and attack you at full run speed. It is challenging if your spawn area doesn't have any melee weapons around. I read the clipping issue is complicated and they have a new team working on it. I suspect it will be 2+ months to get it mostly fixed. Until then, enjoy those bump rides when you have a new spawn.

I'v seen this exact thing. Here is what I suspect, but can't prove. When you 'favorite' a server, it also put those players on the server in your friend list. I don't think it does this everytime, but I do think I saw it after I rebooted and the server I had just added had like 20+ friends, and I have never added a single player as a friend.

I kind of agree with Weed here. I kind of understood your first post, but as you posted more, I say more of the blame is on you, and not the groups. If a group of 3 people can find/track you, and you never see them, then you are playing poorly. Your situational awareness is low, and you are just setting yourself up to be killed over and over. How do you know it's always a group that gets you? When I get shot, it's often "YOU ARE DEAD", and I never see who or what killed me. Yesterday, I'm at the military base hidden in the western woods, and getting attacked by a Zombie on the outside perimeter. I get the YOU ARE DEAD screen, and I have no idea why. Maybe the zombie had super strong attacks, or i got sniped while being attacked, or he pushed me into a wall/rock glitch zone. The point is I have no idea how I died, but I do know why. The WHY is because I put myself in a vulnerable position, and was not able to handle the obstacles thrown my way. I am not leaving the game, but I using that event as a teaching moment.

I died by glitchy wall in the firestation yesterday. I spawned and after a while, made my way to west Electro. While I had some canned goods, I couldn't open them and I needed to regenerate some health. I met a somewhat geared fellow who gave me a fireaxe, 22 pistol and a screwdriver. What a nice gesture. I ended up dumping the 22 later, but the fireaxe and the memories will be with me always...or intil I glitch off the stairs again.

Practice, and patience young grasshopper. I guess once they have private servers, they might be a problem. as it is, i have about 8 servers on my fave list, and i usually pick one or two at night and see what happens. i also get a quick login in the mornings before i leave, and those same servers are always empty then. I pick one and hit a high value area for lootz. It usually works good, but the server I tried this morning had already been looted, and that is the new city north of the NEAF. I was shocked. I think he must have been as geared as me though, as he left behind lots of ammo and guns that he didn't pick up.

i got an extra damaged one, but from what i can tell, it is not functionally different from pristine. just curious, what would be the max effective range with an SKS and LRS? 700yds?

if you keep a stash of bacon, i will find a way in. though i like playing with little rangers too. sounds fun.

so exactly what is 'overpowered' gear in this game? People talk about server hoppers, but some of the most dangerous players only need a weapon/scope to take a whole team out. They might not need to hop to get it. or just a guy with an M4 and a clip or two. I haven't seen overpowered yet.

and I will be behind you tearing it down to steal your beans...and bacon. mmm, beans and bacon, bacon and beans!!!

I got to this town last night. Easy pickings so far, but if you need gear from military barracks, you need a long hike.

you guys are arguing about something you almost agree on. If we are for realism, sitting in front of a fire won't really dry you off. You will need too strip down and hang the clothes up for a good 8-16hrs. The designers aren't going to make such a stupid decision, so it's just aguess as to how 'real' they tweak this aspect of the game. If they fail to put in military ponchos yet leave all the other military gear in-game, then that is a major fail. The US fought Vietnam which was just one giant multi-year thunderstorm, and except for a few cases of jungle rot, we did ok. Rain should have minimal impact on gameplay, imo.

Are you doing a single right click to use the scope?

I think most people will be okay with the new Z's, as long as the other mechanics work. The zombies who walk through walls, or spawn right on top of you doesn't work well. Also, the worsening melee attack system is horribad. Maybe a truly silent pistol will be the way to go in the future if they can't fix melee.

Really? I know of at least 2-3 buildings that almost always spawn guns, and they aren't near military bases. But if you are joining full servers long after resets, the pickins will be slim.

Come on, throw out a server name. I was around with the hat on, but I suspect you don't have people on all servers 24/7. I love naked cowboy action.

I think we can all point out things we may not like about the event, but it is NOT our event. They are looking to help new guys, those who probably do not read the forums much. That is noble, and the effectiveness of the event remains to be seen. It may also help serve as clan recruitment. A possible downside is they may announce the server and the queue to logon will be filled by those who want the event to fail. I remember server parties back in WOW, and this seems similar. If it isn't for you, move along. Otherwise, it might be something to help break-up some of the lonewolf boredom we get time to time.

Shopping for kids clothes at H&M yesterday and saw down-bubble jacket. I immediately thought of DayZ and how many slots it would have. Ride by public storage buildings and think to myself how you can get good loots in there.

Yes, bunny slippers are nice, until you start wading through all the rain we seem to have in this wasteland. Also, I'm sure we will have some demented souls who will chop off your leg so they can carry around their own lucky rabbits foot. That will be an awesome sight, a bunch of survivors with M4's and Mosins, but missing a foot.

ahem. cool story, bra? at least throw a city name out. maybe a server ID, and we can 'help' you protect those zombies.

Yeah, I look at my bags now and I have multiple of everything basically. Lots of ammo in container, 3 can openers, bags of rice and cans of beans, couple canteens, and lots of other stuff I have but won't use. I won't use the forums to give it away, but I have no problems giving opener and beans to new guys. I also have no problem giving a single bullet to fully-kitted guys.

I think my LRS is damaged, but I don't remember a crack at all. The PU scope is definitely showing cracks when damaged though.

Kudos. I don't have that much activity, but I do encounter guys sometimes when playing. I don't use a mic, as my situation doesn't allow it ATM. I have no problem killing peeps in the game, as I have been killed more than once without ever seeing the attacker. It's a kill or be killed type of world. A sandbox game is exactly that, a sandbox. It is what you make it, and what others make it. Sure, you can have big love-in's and sing Kumbaya in Kambiwobo, or shoot to kill at the airfields. I like it, and I hate it.

I've seen the glitch multiple times, on regular servers as I haven't hit the experimental yet. Yesterday, I was sniping at NEAF, and a zombie was attacking the fence for a long time. I eventually felt bad for the fence, and shot the zombie. He stopped moving, and looked like a scarecrow just standing there with his arms in the air. After a while, I scoped another part of the field, and when I turned my view back to the fence, the zombie scarecrow was gone. Makes me think that the image of him as a scarecrow was just a 'video remnant' or something. I also shot a geared player later, and he went down with broken legs right in front of the jail building. The freaky thing was his 'image' also was stuck standing up against the wall, even though he was crawling around. I am scoping from right at 800 yards, and my gaming PC is kinda weak right now, so I don't know if my rig doesn't update correctly, or if the server doesn't display the info correctly.
