BMP?

M4s are rare? This explains why I was shot in the back. Never seen a crash site yet. And I think I never want to have a M4 again.

Most Server have 12 o'clock as starting time. But the sun always sets in the west for me.

Could a mod please close this thread?

Never take a friendly stance towards fresh-spawns. They are the biggest threat as they have nothing to loose. I am against fresh-spawn hunting on the coast line. But if one becomes a threat, I will kill him. My first kill was to avenge my comrade. They shot first, so I do not feel any remorse.

I played on a server with about 20 players. It was half full. No problems. Then it restarted and all looter logged in. The servers 40 slots were full and the rubber-banding began. Almost got killed by a fresh-spawn that punched the air 10 meters away from me.

We just have to wait for those people who only wake up at a new patch to go into hibernation again. Then when the server are not so populated, the game runs smooth. I think the server are still not powerful enough or the code is not optimized to handle all 40 players with the new additions. The experimental server also had problems with rubberbanding and they were always full. I once had the chance to play on a half full server and had no problem. On the other hand, when the server says 40 slots, it should be able to handle these. Are they running 64 Bit yet?

If duping causes a character reset the next time the duper logs on, that's good. Bad for all the accidental dupes. Now we wait for all the whine-threads "help, my character was reset!!!!!".

Logged in yesterday. Character okay, no problems. The game also seemed smoother. No lag, no desync, no rubberbanding. roundabout 20 player on the server. Then server restarted. At first, no problems. Then came all the looter until the server was full. Sudenly rubberbanding, lag and desync. Almost got killed by a newspan, with a high-pitch voice saying " you sure gonna die", who was min 10 meters away and punched the air. Looked funny. Axed him down. B)

I was missing them too. And I haven't seen any for 3 weeks now.

Just visited the new city Novodmitrowsk. Every house was untouched but the police station and piano house. Nice city. Got some whopping 16 frames.

Sounds like fun. I'm in.

Friendly zombies? Sounds like Twilight. I hope that there is never such a feature as to disable zombies or lowering their aggressiveness.

If it was experimental or not should be quite clear. To be able to join an experimental server, you first have to join the beta program in Steam before starting DayZ. Also Steam pulls an update n that case. So far I have only seen Zeds climbing stairs on experimental. Never on stable. They just walked into the stairs, out of sight.

No, it does not. And I chopped many. Bushes seem to make noises. Now if we could smash all the things, that would be nice. Maybe that will come in the future. Imagine those ducking snipers when the building under their ass crumbles from explosives. :)

Finally I was able to hop on the experimental train. Wanted to chop down all the trees, but got stopped by KoS when searching for a new axe. The axe seems to degrade when chopping trees. That is cool. Does anybody know if the chopped trees are only client side or if everyone can see it. We should chop a whole forrest and make many fireplaces until the night has become day. :)

And when all have the same speed, you give someone a bullet to the legs. Hypothetically spoken.

The feature of not being able to save the game or its progress is called "perma death" and it is good as it is.

Yes, move all server to hardcore, fixed.

And when all have gathered, BOOM! I want to suggest a feature, where you can see the real facial expression of the player. :)

Still, if there is no remarkable difference between hunters and hunted, then there will be blood. Also, once the hunted gets what is up, he will probably flee and log out. But I am kind of interested in such a set up.

I suggest all hunter wear yellow or orange rain coats. The hunted is free to wear anything but those rain coats. So at least the hunters cannot take another hunter for the hunted and the hunted has a slight advantage.

I am not a blind fanboy, but a realist. Yet you are perfectly right about the wasting part. :)

No, they gave us early access to a project with alpha status. It is not a game yet, although it is playable. At this moment we are merely beta tester than gamer. I am aware of this fact and if I can contribute any help to speed up development, I will do so. But all I can do, is giving usage data, if there is any collected, and watch for bugs. I do not have any knowledge about the code, the engine and any mechanic that controls the KI in use, like most, if not all, of the users in this forum.

Where the hell did you find a pristine compensator? Thats the only part I could never find above worn. Other than that, class before mass.
