0.55 starvation + spawn points is a joke
Red_Ensign replied to treetop82's topic in General Discussion
it's just broken and hit&miss right now. some servers have nothing and others it's no problem. once you find a good server you'll be fine most times, until stairs kill you. -
we get a battery every time we die and respawn, so everyone has had 20-50 batteries since .55..... go to the coast and look for starved bambis

are some bushes configured to give more/less berries?
Red_Ensign posted a topic in General Discussion
most of the times I've tried picking berries as a new spawn, the bushes have just trolled me as I clicked and starved more. 'lol, no berries for you' lol, no' lol, no' 'you'll be dead in 3 minutes' 'lol, no' lol, no' lol, no' 'you'll be dead in 2 minutes' 'lol, no' 'lol, no' lol, no' 'you'll be dead in 1 minutes' but there's ONE bush near the coast that gave me berries more than half of the times I clicked on it, and I was so encouraged I kept clicking until I got up to energized. was that a fluke, or are some bushes actually configured that way? -
Weird Graphical Glitch (DayZ Standalone 0.55)
Red_Ensign replied to Brian W.'s topic in Troubleshooting
yeah I love when that happens. your framerate drops to 2, zombie experiences no problems and can now teleport. -
Real Life Skills You've Learned from DayZ
Red_Ensign replied to Tatanko's topic in General Discussion
1. I now eat bacon and peaches 50 times a day so I won't die. 2. I avoid stairs so I won't die 3. I shoot people in the face when they say hi (hey this rhymes so far) 4. I hunt deer by placing a bush in a field and hitting them with an axe when they start galloping in circles around it 5. I carry everything I own, because houses disappear, maaan 6. when I fuck things up, I don't say sorry anymore - I say I'm alpha- 40 replies

Do Zombies Dream Of A Good Nights Sleep? (Zombie feedback)
Red_Ensign replied to SmashT's topic in General Discussion
when I feel that I've taken too many hits from zombies, I store my gear and go kill myself so my gear can be on a character that's less likely to be killed by a strong breeze. dear developers: that ^^^ is what this element has added to gameplay. good job. -
Do Zombies Dream Of A Good Nights Sleep? (Zombie feedback)
Red_Ensign replied to SmashT's topic in General Discussion
you shouldn't have shot him - you just made him mad. your 'bone health' (silly hidden stat that makes surviving a long time screw you anyway) was low. -
you also need a spatula. and an apron. and oven mitts, c'mon, did you think you could cook stuff in a survival situation with a just a fire? p.s. as a new spawn once I killed and ate 2 chickens raw. didn't get sick. still starved to death like 10 minutes later though. because 2 whole chickens is like eating air I guess.
-
always carry rope and a burlap sack. if you have to drop something, make an improvised pack with the rope and the sack and leave it in that. it should stay (should) where you left it.
-
you can tell pretty quickly if it's one of those servers where everything's gone, but if you're a new respawn you're also permascrewed that quickly.

finally found a server that doesn't eat my tent. and it's 1pp today. my 3pp tent is there... so does my 1pp character have access to that tent? is the tent lost forever again? I really don't wanna walk through 50 zillion miles of silent track star zombies that all know kung fu in 1pp to find out. I swear this game finds a way daily to make my shit disappear. points for creativity today.
-
my 1pp character got to the spot where the 3pp tent was and it was actually there with all the stuff. none of that stuff is useful to my 1pp character because I play it differently, but interesting. still shitty that they switched it on me with no notices on the server prior to the change.
-
fruit and veggies are apparently around, just invisible. when opening my inventory screen to pick up something else I've 'seen' invisible tomatoes a couple of times, and I saw a mention about that in experimental. and yeah the loot distribution is nonsense and changes daily. today every scrap of loot may be in buses and buses only, tomorrow it'll all be back in the barracks everyone's stopped looking in. and if there's a limited number of each object on a server, I think that means if someone is hoarding the entire rest of the server may have nothing.
-
I'll let you know around .59 when I try this game again.
-
nice of you. hopefully nobody steals it. I've THOUGHT of putting up a 'hunter's shack' myself, where people could get shelter and take/leave extra food near a respawn area but I've been afraid that some will probably just take it (or the server would eat it, because alpha).

For Everyone Complaining About The Loot........
Red_Ensign replied to Bush_Wookieing_101's topic in General Discussion
the hard part isn't finding things (after a while). the problem is having a place to put it that won't vanish. -
not sure if russian or scottish...

Can someone please help me understand "persistence"
Red_Ensign replied to billyangstadt's topic in General Discussion
whereas WITH with persistence enabled, everything on the ground is removed after you're promised it won't be. -
in 1pp I have: 1 pristine chainsaw matches with 96 uses left in 3pp I have: a burning hatred for this game
-
it loads my 1pp character on that server now. the tent isn't hard to replace, but the shit in it is. and there's 90% of the map between where the tent was and where both characters are. unless I find a truck, confirming the tent's existence (or otherwise) will take HOURS if I don't wanna starve my character to death sprinting there. today it's really hard to see a point in investing time in this game.
-
So.. when are we going to actually shoot people who aren't still?
Red_Ensign replied to infiltrator's topic in General Discussion
you could just not shoot people. -
feel free to play with a burlap sack over your head then. the rest of us don't wanna have to mouse around for 5 seconds to 'see' something right in front of us.
-
I love the game, but things like this make me nearly bend my wiener in a rage. Seriously.
Red_Ensign replied to randmanq's topic in Gallery
yep. I can understand having some frustrating changes thrown in the game to test things, being alpha. but somehow I feel they don't need to 'test' horrible shitty lag. -
in the wrong lighting the new crosshairs are almost invisible, making picking some objects up a real pain in the ass. you can't just scoop things up quickly with a zombie 6 steps behind you.
