Could it be true?... Snippit of latest tweet. New mechanics : -New melee hit detection -Player temperature -Resuscitation -Fibrillation -New events (helicopter crashes, vehicle spawns etc.)

So using the code legitimately in a way the developers didn't expect is wrong? It's an inherrent weakness in the code, not some hack. Unless it is a hack that you need to add to the game, or whatever, in which case it's not part of the game and they can piss off. Did you ever play Yoshi's Island for SNES? There was a secret level where you could farm for green life mushies... You probably didn't get the 'hardcore' experience farming 99lives, but these levels and abilities don't get in there by themselves.. But people have very different opinions on this i know. Cut off their hands etc etc.

I'd have thought you'd be better off just selecting 'hide body' and the loot terminates forever?

so you'd be shot by ghosts?

items do persist more or less. zombies are fixed from what they were but not release quality... ;)

fair. Maybe i'm just too used to akm...

Hmmm, what? I would have thought that your angle dispersion increase your chance at not hitting things at range. Sure the bullet can still drop down the vertical line of their body, but what about to the sides? I thought dispersion was in all directions from center, meaning that if the angle is such that it fits a target at range perfectly while aiming at centre mass, you're still going to have a chance of missing on the sides, because people are taller than they are wide. I'm not convinced on this one lol...

Well actually it is a choice because you can use 3pp in it's current, arguably perfect manner, without peeking around doors. You can also choose to use 1pp or 3pp. So you really just correlated two things together, like trying to mash those wooden squares into a circular hole... Not to get too off topic but your post reminds of prohibitionist mentality. Don't understand it, don't enjoy it? Don't use it myself? Get rid of it.

Wouldn't mind seeing more indoors too.

looks like a hit (unless he lowered his rifle)... also the hit indicator is the blood spurting from their arteries or the corpses littering the streets. It's good to know i suppose as a learning assist or for when you're upset and lost a fire-fight, but if you want to loot them you're going to need to get in and inspect anyway. I don't let down my guard until they stop moving, and then i've still got a healthy dose of adrenaline to keep me sharp. also, he looks 100m>200 m away and you didn't shoot for centre mass/head. You may have missed his right torso/arm and had the bullet drop short. He definitely makes some kind of motion to stand up more straight and his rifle comes across his chest.

Well. I just spawned into the Eastern barracks at NWAF, after a week or so long park and 8hours of mapping fault planes :(. pop into life and all the doors are open, i've got my SKS fully loaded and i'm standing in the hallway. Shit. close entrance and clear rooms backwards, closing them as I advance. I'm up the back and i go prone, deciding to wait a little and suss the place out while I know i'm relatively safe inside my barracks. sure enough. pitter patter of footsteps. Clever girl. He stands in front of the door, obviously recognizing me there with SKS up and proned on the tiles. The door opens and he steps aside after a brief panicked jig and jag in front of the entrance (oho here we go, man couldn't stand off to the side to open the door. you know what this means...) I start communicating, a little shocked and startled i'll add "woah woah woah put that gun down buddy" i say, thumbing for the rear door, still closed. I get it open and get in the side. He's gone around to that window and guns down, I can hear him shuffling beside the window. 3pp. He's keeping an eye on me. "you're one of those silent killer types are you? Too bad" I say. shuffle shuffle shuffle. He's now on the window opposite my door. Gun comes up. RAT TAT TAT TAT! I haven't heard this one before, I think that it's a AK101. zero effect, but I panick off 3 shots of my own into the window. "you're obviously pretty new at this, because you should know you can't hit me through the windows buddy. You'll have to come inside an get me". My starcrossed admirer seems a little deflated despite his mute personality. He stops making shuffling noises for a few seconds then sure enough shuffle shufle shuffle. He's crouched at the edge of the window, and I move up to see him "oh hey, could I have some privacy" i joke. This is it. He's figuring out how he wants to play it, and he's 3pping me because he doesn't know any better. My mouth starts flapping, and i know he's still on the eastern side corner. Keep the bastard busy. I sprint out the front, take a right and loop straight around the barracks. I catch him shuffling, facing into the wall as I make the corner, and he pops off a few rounds himself. Probably didn't aim well enough snapping the iron sights up from 3pp because not one hit lands me. I sink all 7 into his chest (that motorcycle helmet didn't do much). For some reason his body was unlootable, and he lay motionless on his side. "That's what you get for shooting at me asshole" i say. I chance another look to try to get a pulse or hide his body, but i can't seem to get my action menu to register, or F spam failed too... I book it out of there because i saw at least 7 players on there with 'HERO| tags'. Not my kind of gig you know. I even trawled over his body with inv open. Nothing poped up. Even the fire-axe that was lying by his side clearly visible. (I also thought i saw a drum-mag on that weapon he had, but couldn't see it on ground and it didn't sound like the pop pop of the AKM..) I come back and the body is gone. I'm not sure how long it's been but i ran a ways out and sat in the forrest for a little bit. Not sure if he was just unconscious or what, but i've had this failure to loot bug before. ALL THAT SAID = 3pp can be just as disadvantageous as you can be easily target-fixated trying to conceal yourself and peak around corners at the same time (betraying a good 180+degrees of flank depending on what structure you're peeking about) and unless you really line them up (and compensate for angle mis-allignment) then you also don't have that snap-kill ability, or less so than a 1pp. To my credit, i had the sks and had set up my angle of attack so that I could just strafe up and shoot, while he had to swing around and his gun was probably still to the left of me... food for thought. late night typing gets the mad paragraphs.

I keep mine in my pants/vest :3 yesss check deep deep into my bag... *reaches slowly into pants*

I've seen some dodgy stuff before that looks like a micro-teleport where the guy moves in staggered steps of 3-5m and is impossible to hit but I always put it down to desynch/player latency. Still doesn't make it enjoyable in a game like this. At least in Tribes you could anticipate the lag, and you didn't get 1hitKOd. That said, these moments are rare for me.

they're really just infected so i suppose good eyesight can be accepted, but i always figured zombies would have an enhanced sense of smell and sound. Still, we play the cards we're dealt. Good to see the info in that vid above.

There's probably a torchia/rocket tweet/reddit out there somewhere regarding this, but i'm not quite convinced why they removed timed locational spawn resets. It probably can't work alongside persistance (without bloating loot availability, discounting lowering spawn chances of things) but I would have thought timed locational item spawns would have forced people to move from town to town in search of more gear. It was a good indication of recent player activity in the area however.

See i was skeptical about this happening. Went into Zeleno barracks but dropped my sks with no ammo outside. Ran in found some SKS rounds, came out and it was gone. I got spooked thinking someone had watched me put it down, stolen it and may be lurking waiting to scrape whatever else they wanted from my freshly topped-up corpse. Tailed it out of there. Now i read this :( stil no sks.

stahp it. I love automatic rifles for the most part. I think negative.

The outside, and the inside. Did I blow your mind? See you on the flipside. well that's going off on a tangent...

golden rule: don't beg for likes or ask people to subscribe. Hate that shit. May as well shove blatant advertising down my throat in between action shots. Second: asking viewers for what they want. See above fabrication / monetisation/marketing of video. Just like photography, you gotta take the snap when they don't see you and are naturally relaxed, or failing that have them at least act natural.

LOL crop circles!! Czech Republic/-oslovakia: Because aliens. On topic: anyone mind explaining the use of explosive launchers on infantry, ala ARMA3 titan launcher with the AP round (i thought this was armor-piercing, turns out anti-personell) Don't see the advantage of using a single explosive on persons unless the aim is to punch through a wall and throw shrapnel about. I played a lot of quake as a kid (quakeSchool for life) and would probably just be shooting at their feet or at my own to try to get a bit of air, but don't see firing at the ground as being particularly effective in real life, save for spitting up frags and rocks and what not into their shins and beyond... It's gotta be for light armored / civilian vehicles or soft cover penetration right? anyone want that VOG-9/m203/RPG/pzShreck/faust/russian equiv going down in dayz? didn't think so :(

All this ignoring that they may have intentionally set out to provide two fundamentally' different gaming experiences. Just to flog a plague-ridden dead horse. ;) (horses are also weighed down to handicap, or staggered release on races sometimes too just to scratch that analogous itch). They don't do this in F1 races however because they're fundamentally different things. NB: i think we're two sides of the same coin, judo, to iron out any ambiguity in my quoting you.

parle parle? though i think that's deal/ submissive for the most part.

You can kinda. in 0.45 or something i knocked out a chick and stole her shotgun in Chapaevsk apartment blocks after she failed to hit me twice at 3m. Already had ammo in my pockets. I took her life after that. punch to the head and you could steal their stuff. Same with unconscious / dead.

just put down your gun, take off your clothes, and hold up your hands... or so the joke goes ;). going prone and spamming Q E probs works too. sorry dont know anything other than non and oui.

Always carry a handgun where possible in addition to my main. Somtimes you just gotta whip one out in a blink. Sometimes i need the extra ROF. Sometimes i just like running through elektro like dirty harry putting large holes in zombies.
