I am too scared to do this more than a very quick break. One of my early deaths was after I was 'all kitted up' for the first time. Went and made my lunch, parked in a room upstairs in a building where loot doesn't spawn. Laying on the floor even. Came back from lunch to a 'you are dead' screen. Ooooohhhh the anger I felt at that moment - grieving my first pristine ACOG that had never been used - and having nobody I could point to but....me.... Haunts me to this day.... :)
-
Agreed that Zeds should have loot on them - including weapons, mags, etc. I took it he was referring to not having any ammo causing their death with his comment - which just wouldn't result in missing mags...
-
No worries - wasn't meaning that directed at you, as I got your post and agree. More a pet peeve of mine as it's leaned on way too heavy on the Internet forums these days...
-
Last time I checked, empty magazines don't disappear once you are killed by a zombie.... Definitely think empty magazine should be included with most gun finds.
-
It's annoying but I've learned to ignore it. Probably to my demise given the new zed population! :). Definitely needs fixed...
-
I find can openers regularly in school houses and jails. Lately I find them A LOT but that's likely luck and server dependent. (As I can't find a mosin anywhere). If you can't find this rare beast - time to work around it - tuna, rice, and cereal time!

Ok seriously whats with the string of recent small patches? [Experimental]
makomachine replied to Slyguy65's topic in General Discussion
Stable is Alpha, Experimental is 'preliminary testing'. I'm actually surprised they ever released info on Experimental. Seems counter to the speed so many are complaining about for updates. Not sure why they didn't release anything on these, but maybe something to do with the angst of late about the stable delays and subsequent update. -
I look forward to seeing the Division - probably my most anticipated release for this year/early next. That said, I share the same doubt as others about Ubisoft's disclosure - big history of over promising early in development. That said, LOVED Far Cry and keeping the fingers crossed that they can deliver half of what they are showing.

Anyone else experiencing teleporting players in combat?
makomachine replied to Grimey Rick's topic in General Discussion
Not this far but have been on only a couple of hours on fairly low pop servers for most of it. Teleporters are the worst... -
I can see it now... "This game is so stupid! Why must I walk in my plate mail armor?!? Impossible to run or sneak up on anyone with these stupid game mechanics!"
-
Mag / clip nazis need to give it a rest for the rest of the gaming world. I own many firearms - that kind of correction is semi appropriate in the context of RL, but many gamers have never even handled a firearm. No need in going all aggro on people as an intro to real world gun ownership. Counter productive....

I found a rose in Balota that would be perfect for this dance! :)

Not looking for a debate and don't want this turning into a ALPHA / Stable rant. I'm just really curious on peoples perceptions of the new patch and where things stand today. I myself have spent just a little time with it, but thus far I've enjoyed it as much as I did the experimental release prior. Just wanting to get a barometer where things stand across the full community on the latest patch. Comments should include what you like or dislike and any additional details to support your vote. (Dislike zed respawn / like new towns / etc)

New Patch - Who's still having fun?
makomachine replied to makomachine's topic in General Discussion
Actually, I know two things. A lot of people are posting of problems - and a lot of people (like myself) are also enjoying this build (along with experimental prior). I'm not trolling - we have 1 post for every 100 reads it seems these days. I'm really looking for the answer to the simple question. I honestly have no idea how the poll will come out - if I did, I wouldn't have posted it. I do know that there is a lot of complaining around things, and my comment was only to avoid this turning into a debate post where we rehash all of those discussions. -
New Patch - Who's still having fun?
makomachine replied to makomachine's topic in General Discussion
I could have made it just 'yes' or 'no' - not something I'd overthink here as I'm looking for everyone's input. My disclaimer is due to the fact we have a lot of "alpha" angst on both 'sides' today. I welcome everyone's input as I'm just trying to find out the population of the community that is having fun playing the latest version. Feel free to start another discussion topic if you aren't getting what you need here. -
Meat spawn not enabled. I'd expect that in the next update - with hopefully some hunting as well!
-
I think when they get the AI fixed, and add more zeds, the airfields will become a different place. Different kind of chaos and very little hiding in the bushes sniping from 700m. Fun stuff...
-
Seems so - considering its being posted about a lot. Hopefully they get it worked out in the very near term as I know that is frustrating.
-
No, no, and no... I'm fine with improvised ghillie suits and things like that, but anything that you can do at any location to effectively become invisible is a game breaker. Especially given the propensity of Mosin/LRS/snipers we already have in game.

You could start the new DayZ version of "Naked and Afraid"...

"New players" reaction to this patch is just like..
makomachine replied to Irish.'s topic in General Discussion
You crushing on me? That's sweet (and creepy). I believe I qualified my time played. Now move along with the bong... -
Admit it... Kind of exciting, the grind of the new start on a fresh patch... Just think of the goodies to be found along the way...
-
"New players" reaction to this patch is just like..
makomachine replied to Irish.'s topic in General Discussion
I agree with your statement -if- you change "complaining" to "complaining and reporting it formally". Too much crybaby in this forum and not near enough productive input... -
Where are you located? I'm not having any issues in the CT timezone here in the US. Was able to join several servers with no issue. Wondering if this isn't possibly a regional issue? Very odd, or maybe I've just been lucky...

makomachine replied to Irish.'s topic in General Discussion
I personally think that you should have to take an IQ Test to purchase the Alpha. Sort out the riff raff up front - these whiners are giving me a headache.... Stables not stable!!!!! Refund!! Like they've been living in a bubble all their lives....
