This is just going to get annoying though KOS banditry is gonna suck, any one geared dude could just dominate Berezino since nobody is going to be able to look around nearby and find a Mosin, someone took that hours ago and it's not going to respawn since the KOSer is hanging around. Cities will be even bigger death traps. So I'm on the fence about it, I like that it makes the game harder...but I would rather they just made zombies harder and food more scarce. Loot respawn upon every 4+ server restarts would be fine, exploitable but people messing around with it still have to wait and they can't ramp up the loot count anymore can they? People with private servers are always going to exploit the system, just because something makes it easy for them doesn't mean it wouldn't be a good thing for people who avoid private servers. Just make private a whole hive so they can't take their gear from their server and kill noobs in public ones.

And for the people who got all the good stuff early to be nigh unbeatable since nothing good will appear for ages... Honestly I don't like this at all I would rather it just respawned every few server restarts instead of dynamically, it won't be "random" people will figure out patterns and know how to get gear, run somewhere to get other gear and then go back to the first place and get the newly spawned stuff. On the bright side at least server hopping will less often be a fruitful pursuit but it will be more common...

Can you imagine broken hostile animals? Wolves that run directly at you, through doors and attack relentlessly. Bears that do the same and swipe you through walls. Not to mention that they should be faster than players. Unless they finely tune them before adding them, meeting a bear or a pack of wolves is going to be hell we're all going to wish we had invisible zombies and silent ones again.

Yeah but, they're still going to be broken in some ways for sure like see you from miles away or one hit kill... And bleeding, probably bleeding ALL the time. Though at least if they run in a straight line at you they'll be easy to shoot...

I voted other. Specifically I would want craftable coats from animal skins and then specifically again, wolf skin coat complete with either a wolf head hood or like a scarf type thing that goes over your back and paws hang down your chest. Just to give your survivor a grizzled true survivor look, this guy has been surviving a long time. (or he managed to find a gun and a wolf very early)

Such information comes from a dictionary, see the word stable most people are going to assume playable. Stupid to assume flawless but stable enough to work fine. On that note I must have played for 30 mins to and hour and I never crashed to the desktop, before I was getting anywhere between 10 seconds and 15 minutes before it would happen...so either that's improved or it was a rare lucky session.

Yeah but don't call it "stable" when it's still got major game breaking stuff in it at least. Stable suggests totally playable, maybe buggy but your session won't be ruined but then it is. As for the CR mags it's still a civilian gun mags for it should spawn in houses, why do the military even have mags for it when they'd no doubt have better guns? Seems kind of silly. The Mosin is easier to find and can always hold 5 rounds and is plenty powerful, there's no real need to even pick up a CR unless you have buckets of ammo for it already and are sure you won't find a Mosin. But even then if you find an SKS, CR goes in the trash can unless you just like it.

Well you're just unfairly lucky :P And yeah to the rest of that I didn't mean everyone not complaining but most people who complain about other people complaining in any way. It can be annoying to see people like "Urgh I just lost all my stuff I hate this game" all over the forum constantly, but it's easy to see why they get annoyed. Even if shit is going to get fixed eventually it's annoying having all your effort wasted. Like imagine you just built a shed by yourself and you stand there proud of your achievement, and then suddenly it gets blown up in such a way that only it and nothing else is destroyed or damaged. Beyond confused, you would be mad right? Even though people no doubt had similar rage over their characters being wiped or whatever at some point they're a bit harsh towards people experiencing it for the first time, which is dumb.

The issue isn't the bugs or anything like that. The issue is that they put it to "stable" like that, if it's broken as shit, keep it in experimental until it's playable it doesn't have to be perfect but riddle out the game breaking stuff as best as possible. People play "stable" expecting it to be stable, as stable as an alpha can be but it's often not. I mean it makes no sense people moan and moan for them to push things to stable and they don't bother for months but then sometimes they rapidly do and it's broken, I'd rather they wait months until game breaking stuff is out or just push out broken ones all the time, currently you never know which it's going to be. On either side some consistency would be nice. As for the part I quoted, a certain game would like a word with you. I too enjoy that but when you've put like 200 hours in to one guy and you die because of some stupid thing, how can people not expect you to be annoyed at all that effort being wasted. Out of the people who say it's stupid to complain, I'm willing to bet none of them have been killed in a BS manner at 200 hours or more without raging.

Yeah is that supposed to happen? I accidentally switched from a drum to a 30 and the drum was just gone, had like 73 rounds in it...wasn't on the ground or in my inventory at all. Kind of stupid when it's so easy a thing to do by accident, especially with a mouse wheel. I really hope they change the bleeding soon. If you have a big thick jacket on how is a zombie slapping you making your arms bleed? As far as I can see, they don't have claws. How do you slap someone so hard their skin bursts open? I think they should just add a type of zombie with some sort of claws, or maybe somewhat smart ones who use knives and beyond that give others a 20% chance of causing bleeding if you don't have thick clothes on, it's just too much currently.

But when it's something people paid for, at least try have it playable. Yeah as said above I'm finding zombies way too annoying, I'm not having issues with them attacking me from far away somehow but the fucking bleeding, like every hit and I can feel blood dripping. I went through like 2 whole bandages within half an hour or so. I really hope they develop zombie combat a lot more in future, like if you kid them with an axe they stagger back instead of standing around swinging their arms until you get enough hits to kill, there's just no way to fight them without abusing the AI but what do they plan to do in future? I want it to be scary and difficult, but to actually have a chance instead of every fight basically meaning you definitely start bleeding.

So you find yourself a Sporter, CR, or any pistol except the Longhorn and Magnum or an SMG in a civilian area. No mag to go with it best you get is chambering the gun until you go to a military area and get lucky enough to find a mag for your gun...why? We need mags to spawn in civilian areas, almost all of the guns there are pretty much useless, once you find a military area you're probably just going to get an AKM or something anyway. Beyond the Mosin and SKS all the guns in civilian areas are virtually useless. A chambered gun is of course better than no gun at all but there's no benefit to going to an airfield or whatever and getting a 30 round mag for the Sporter or the SKS mag thing when you can just get another, better gun there anyway. In all my hours playing I think I've found like one FNX mag in a non military zone and that's about it, found more than that but clearly dropped by players.

And also died without much of a fight. I'm not asking for there to be ammo and mags everywhere but the occasional gun with a mag in it and like 2 bullets, to show that someone went down fighting. Or guns hidden away in a cabinet some victim never got to before they died, maybe we could have basements or attics to explore with them occasionally too. Suggested this before but also people who've killed themselves, could find decayed bodies with handguns laying on the floor next to them with clips. DayZ needs things like that, it's a desolate atmosphere not a dreadful one where most everyone has been killed. It would be cool if they added old rifles like Winchesters and put them in places like that, the sort of thing people keep in their family. It's just really unbalanced to have slim pickings everywhere but military zones they're treasure troves... Back to your point Funkmaster, so why would there be no clips and little ammo in random, untrained civilian houses who most surely died quickly when the apocalypse hit...but there's tons in military areas where trained soldiers would have been using it up and given that survivors have been around years, would surely have been looted by the time the game is supposed to start? Doesn't make sense, if survivors have been in the land for years military zones would be empty, yet NWAF has more ammo in it than you could ever feasibly need.

Been like that since last patch. I really don't see the point in the CR, why can't they just have magazines for things spawn in non military areas?

Since when? Like a few of weeks ago I was finding badly damaged ones only and I was in the NWAF military camp upon server restart so there's no way anyone came in and dropped it... So basically we can't get 100% of the meat ever...lol.

I've only found almost broken combat knives they are absurdly rare, we need some kind of purposed skinning knife for 100% a combat knife shouldn't be the best for that when there are knives specifically for it.

Hmm.. I like it and I don't, I think it would be good for some kind of PVP centric hive so you can't get the best guns from another server and come in you have to start new on the hive and get guns while the server is decently full. Only for that kind of server I like it, it's so annoying when you're just trying to check out new towns or see how good new guns are and you get sniped by some douchebag miles away simply for walking around. Or every building in a new town is just full of campers waiting for you to go through the door. I think my PVP hive suggestion could work out, on other servers we still have to suffer admins abusing loot drops but at least if PVP is what we're after they have to have 20 people or so on also.

Is this the bug where you can't shoot or anything? Pretty annoying I'm just going to avoid the game until it's hotfixed I think 4, although on the bright side 4 dudes couldn't kill me since they couldn't attack either... It kinda sucks since zombies can still attack you too >.> I'm failing to see the point in the new CR rifle... It needs a mag and can't have LRS whereas the Mosin has it's on mag and can have LRS...like...why bother with the new gun? If it was semi auto and powerful perhaps but the Mosin is way better. Although it's good for me since I've hoarded ammo for my AKM. Which also seems to spawn a lot more in a couple of hours gameplay I must have found like 20 boxes of it between a few towns/barracks.

So it's new then? Not played in a good few weeks. Does it just happen to everyone at once or what? Those dudes obviously wanted to kill me and didn't even shoot me while I ran away even though there was a clear shot, easily. Makes no sense unless they were in the same boat.

Figured I'll make a topic instead. Not sure what the place is called but I was at that airfield near the coast by the town with the tall buildings. Randomly couldn't use weapons, could lift my axe up ready to attack, nothing. Aim my AKM, nothing. Met 4 guys and was looking for a fight but couldn't shoot any of them...none of them shot me either for whatever reason, one hit me with an axe...which only seemed to register like 30 seconds later when I'd ran some 200m+ away. It was like the server admins put some setting on where you can't use guns... Previously in the server there was next to no lag or rubberbanding so I don't know what the fuck was going on... What bug is this? Of the 4 dudes 3 had guns out, I think AKM's and I had mine out so surely they'd have all shot me instead of getting one guy to axe me? Seems like they couldn't shoot either. Very weird.

Ok I don't know what the fuck was going on there... I was wandering around lost and ended up at that airfield by the coast, none of my weapons were working at all wtf bug is this? Couldn't swing an axe or shoot a gun, tried dropping them and picking them up(but not relogging just put it off now can't be bothered) 4 dudes found me and for some strange reason didn't shoot me...but like one dude walked right past me when my hand was up, as if I wasn't there...I suppose perhaps he thought I was in his group but he didn't remotely look at me. This was at the jail building, I ran under the bit outside where they all appeared, one took an axe out but didn't do anything, so I ran away a full 2 hangers distance... "You are unconscious" along with a hit, like I got hit by an axe. It was like it lagged horrendously, I got hit finally after running away then woke up while they were looking for me. Decided I'd just log out in a nearby building to save them killing me when I literally couldn't do shit to them with my AKM >.> Pretty bullshit bug happened to anyone else? I was looking for someone to kill to since I haven't killed anyone in many hours, kind of hard when your gun(which was definitely loaded) won't fire.

Stable = everything completely fixed? Never heard of this before.

That the devs don't want realism and that they want authenticity? They are the exact same freaking thing, I've seen huge arguments over this and had so many people say it to me and it's just so stupid... Maybe the devs said authenticity once but that's just the word they used it means pretty much the same thing as realism. Realism: the quality or fact of representing a person or thing in a way that is accurate and true to life. Authentic: of undisputed origin and not a copy; genuine. The game tries to be genuine like real life, oh what's that? "true to life" in the realism definition. Golly, I guess they do mean the same thing. Now stop saying that stupid non argument and learn some words. Thank you.

So what does: Mean? Also animation for injection vial...I guess there's going to be some horrible disease added soon :(

But they don't in this case, they're making authentic features featured in real life, or realistic features featured in real life. As I said, interchangeable. They make authentic features to be as realistic as possible. How aren't people getting that?
