I am trying to find out if the tents were in THIS patch or are they in experimental at the moment? Just saw your BTW Doh!

That has happened to me, could not mine the rock that I was looking at, so I left it alone and tried another rock with another pickaxe in another part of the map and that worked fine! Also I have since found out that those sort of mossy rock areas you find in fields can yield rocks (though haven't tried it yet)

The question is: Should Military loot be determined by the number of people on it? Risk/Reward. If you are paying £40 or £50 a month for your own server and not many people are using it, it kinda sucks if you join it and there is nothing worthwhile to loot on it. No?

GTX 660 & Fx 8320, What does it take to run DayZ?
Poindexter replied to Plancherfoot's topic in Troubleshooting
I've got the 660 and the i5-3330 and have rarely had a problem that bothered me, top settings too. The Experimental has messed me up a few times but thats about pa for Experimental at the moment -
The progression of cooked meats goes from Raw to Ready to Burnt in too short a time frame at the moment. Perhaps it should go from Raw to Rare - Medium Rare - Medium - Medium Well - Well Done - Burnt - Hockey Puck. Duration of each temperature perhaps 30 seconds or a minute? But each temperature gradation will reduce the energy value of the steak as more of the juices are cooked out of the meat. So: Rare = 100% - 90% - 80% - 70% - 60% - 25% Zero. Perhaps this is too pedantic but as it stands at the moment it is absurd! Just recently I killed a dear and extracted 4 steaks from the animal. Each steak was about 80+% of the quarter of the carcass. So when I ate one, I had to eat it in 2 bites and it did not impact my health bar at all! Now a dear is a large animal, to eat 1/4 of an animal that size is a significant amount, so I would like to know how much nutrition I received from it? Are there tables where this information is shown?

The rubber banding is caused by the server marking your spot at the roof or on the top floor of a building, then when you run out the server cannot keep up with your pace so flips you back to where it last recognized you. The way to avoid this is try to move more slowly when leaving a building and stay away from the walls and rails on either side of your path (thats when the server 'spots' you). The other methods mentioned earlier also help with the addition of removing your trousers just before exiting. Basically you are doing something that forces the server to recognize where you are. Hope this helps (and works)

This may seem weird, but if you run into the wall of the room or passage way of where you want to go and can get your head poking through the wall (beilng in first person will help), at that moment, while you are still pressing W you need to press Alt, then Esc and exit the server. Hopefully when you respawn you will be in the next room. The last time I was in your situation I was trapped under the apartment building in Berezino and it took several attempts to get out using this method. I had tried everything else as well. Good luck!

Action packed with a moral and beautifully filmed. Subscribed!

Easiest way to get in is around 6;15 (your time). Thats when they reset and they reset every hour at that time. Trouble with them is when you arrive you are a new spawn so you spend most of that time trying to get healthy and set up to perhaps try something new, like fishing. Then the server resets and when you re-join (taking care to re-join the same server # as before... you are a new spawn where you will again spend most of your time trying to get healthy and gear up.... Oh! and by-the-way did i mention that there are many others on the same server at the same stage as you and they all are looking for the same things as you which means they will usually KOS if they can or try to take you down to get your recently looted things. I think I have trotted off into the woods about 5 times ready to try surviving only to have the server reset which just gets old at the end.

How can I play on the experimental patch Servers?
Poindexter replied to Raoul9753's topic in General Discussion
Do we reset our stable characters by doing this? Just answered this and its No! -
Making the switch to the machete!
Poindexter replied to CanadianBrooks's topic in General Discussion
Haven't used a fire axe in weeks. Single shots are good for me -

When Does The " ALPHA!" Excuse End?
Poindexter replied to [email protected]'s topic in General Discussion
I see no problems with the wait... Its a bind but thats the way an Alpha runs. I've done these before and the usual problem is the creators run out of funds and have to release it too early and then they are forever fiddling with it. So what if the Alpha runs 2 years and the Beta another year? You are still playing the game, No?
