Something happened today that makes me wonder if this game is really working right now. I spotted two guys attacking a lesser geared guyand chasing him into a two story tin barn. They were talking shit and shooting at him so I figured I'd teach them a lesson. My guy was well-geared so I had nothing to fear. I started by blasting a guy with my shotgun. Normally it takes two rounds to take someone out but now it took six before he was laying still. The other guy went round me so i switched to my mp5. I shot a full mag in short burst into him while he fired off 5-10 rounds with a pistol. He ran away bleeding while I was unhurt. I started reloading but it didnt work so I switched to my Magnum. The guy started pleading so I told him to lay down. He didnt and instead went for an mp5 that was all of a sudden laying in the middle of the road. My mp5 that my guy had for no reason thrown there. I didnt care much as I knew it was empty So I just said "Pick it up punk" He did and I blasted him with my magnum. Or, so I thought, instead it went .... Nothing. i tried again ....Nothing. Meanwhile punky had gotten the mp5 rasied the empty gun and BRRRRRRRT! Killed me. I was rather perplexed. A fully loaded Magnum refused to fire while an empty mp5 magically reloaded itself while on the ground. Ive had the gun no fire bug before but the mp5 was too much. I respawned and played for a while but it really feels like a hit n miss kinda thing with the weapons. Meanwhile I get taken out with one shot while driving a truck.

All hail mother cow!

Found me a deer yesterday!:

Mines dont seem to hurt people or gear in this patch. Its working in 0.58 but its not insta-death like before.

I found a shotgun shell box on top of one of those red cars that cant be opened. First Ive found in 0.57. Loose shells can be found in guradhouses, aprtments, prison buildings and even police stations. .45 acp seems to only spawn at heli crashes, very weird. And the magazines at guard houses ofcourse.

They also spawn in Prison buildings.

There are two villages that always has animals. Nadezdhino, north of cherno has chickens and goats. And Vyshnoe also north of cherno has goats, pigs and chickens. Ive also seen some deer but very sparingly and then ofcourse theres the cows of Berezino.

I have seen this sometimes, A person has two almost identically named characters on the same server and play with both. Seems completely useless but each to his own I guess.

There already exists such a thing, its called 1pp. Too bad nobody plays it since its much more immersing. They should make it so everybody spawns with an m4 on 1pp, then people would play it.

Kamyshovo is by far the easiest place to find people at. I sat in a bush on one of the hills for about 20 minutes yesterday and saw 5 newspawns and two geared guys killing them. Whenever I go there theres always someone there. I once found this, I have no idea how it happened:

It happens sometimes. Some servers dont seem to be able to connect to their hive. Also a lot of people dont seem to get the thing with 1pp,3pp and private hives having different characters.

I thought about it at first but now Ive already swam to shore and gone to cherno, soooo......

Something happened today that made me sad and angry. I have a fully geared character on public 3pp that I didnt really know what to do with. I then went to the prison island with another character and noticed that plate carriers spawned there adn since this geared character had a pretty rare gun holster I figure I 'd go there and get a fully loaded plate carrier. I found a truck in Severograd and drove through the whole fucking map, into the sea and then swam half the way onyl to have the game swallow my holster as I was taking it out to remove my gun.Wtf? I looked like a madman for it but it was just gone. I had to settle for a plate carrier with pockets and no holster. And If I want one I have to go to the heli crash sites. Again. sigh.

Yes

I remember once when I was just spawned and saw a guy falling off the chimney in Berezino. I looted his corpse and got loads of nice loot including a scoped mosin. I then made it all the way to the harbour and then, "You are dead". So annoying. I made it back to my corpse and it was stuck on a ladder, unlootable. Other than that, dying from glitches really suck.

I had an interesting night. I logged in incherno with a pretty new character weilding only a sawn-off shotty and almost right away spotted a three guys up to no good. I avoided them and I'm glad I did as I heard shooting shorter after. As i moved up towards Dubky I see another two guys ruunning towards chapaevsk. As I enter a building near the road I find a dead guy in there. As I get to Dubky its looted and i find another dead guy in the middle of the street, Jeezus! I go to Chapaevsk prison and close the door behind me. Moments after it opens, I sit still and ready my gun, a guy appears blazing so I blast him with my shotty. He lives. I position myself better and ask him shy? No answer. He appears again blazing so i pump two rounds of shotty into his ugly face again and he drops. I go unconscious and never wakes up(you never seem to recover form unconsciousness in 0.57?). I respawn in Elektro and theres murder going on there too so I go along the coast to avoid it. I find an axe which saves my life as I hear gunshots and happen to run into two guys carving up some poor dead guy. They see me so i go into a house and hides. A guy comes in with a flare gun so I whack him and he dies. His friend comes in so i whack him and he dies. I take his gear. As I'm looting two bambis show up. I explain myself and tell them to take what they want. I leave. I go up country and after a while I spot a guy standing by a deer stand. I talk to him but he doesnt reply. I check his name and tie him up. I go through his gear but he has nothing of worth so I cut the ropes and move on. He still doesnt react. I come to some buildings, go in and find ANOTHER DEAD GUY! In the middle fo nowhere almost. Hes recently dead too but I spot no people anywhere. I go to the Stary tents. The server restarts and i find a truck right away so i got top the first heli site. Theres a guy there but he has no ammo so we tag along and go to the second heli site. Theres two guys there shooting so we go to the third. Theres no good gear but I give the guy some ammo and my hunting scope. We go to the airfield and the guy has some net problems so he logs out. I go on to the prison. While Im there I hear shooting adn I see someone come running so I plant a mine in front of the door. I sit and wait, the door opens and its the guy from before. I screma to him not to come in but he does, the mine explodes and....nothing. It says "you have been hurt by a landmine" but no damage is inflicted. We go on but only get to the hangars til the server crashes.

Its a pity that they made NW airfield a useless place. It used to be the center of things because of the Epic loots found there but now there is no point at all in going there. Veresnik at least has some bmp's with good loot and a guard house. Myshkino tent city still has a lot of good stuff. Weapons, vests and stuff.

0.55 was great with the zeds but too much on the "Bear-grylling" which made it quite boring but more of a challenge. 0.57 has harmless zeds and too much on the "PVP-Cod-kiddies-An ak for all" bit which makes citys exciting but the survival aspect pointless. Now to find a balance. Hopefully 0.55 zeds will be back soon.

Just yesterday I lost two Cr75's, one mp5k and one cr527 with scope on two different characters. They're not gone, They've been dropped somewhere and someone will be very happy finding a fully loaded weapong but unfrtunately its not me. This bug has actually been in the game for a long time but its been worsened by this patch. A lot. I also encountered a bug where the gun was gone from my inventory but it still existed in my quick-bar. I could put items in its intended slot and still access and use it. I even killed a guy with it. I've also noticed that if you have clothes or other slotted items in your inventory and pick up things when all slots are filled, it will put the items in them.

I have the shinyness of buildings and fences as well. Its been like that for a very long time.

In a real life survivalist scenarion, who in their right mind would throw away their weapon just to fit a can of soda in there or because they need to walk over a 40 cm high fence? Nobody would ofcourse. As long as you got a notification of weapon dropped or something this system would be acceptable. As it is now its not working well and the old system was better.

As I understand the m4, aug, ak101, ump and svd and their magazines only spawn on heli crashes. I did however find an svd mag y-day on a humvee sooo....maybe? I did see a guy sporting an m4 the other day so they do exist for sure.

Some annoyance today and one good thing. I spawned outside cherno and jogged towards the city. After a bit I hear voices so i go to investigate. Two bambis come running, one chasing the other yelling threatening obecenities. I blow the annoying one away away. Later I approach cherno and the weirdest thing happens. I notice intense lag and then my character starts skidding along the ground, a bambi appears and I am tossed hundreds of metres into the air. I then fall and die. I have no idea what happened. Might have been a hacker but I have had this happen to me before while in a v3s so I can't be sure. I log in with another character in elektro. I have a cr257 with hunting scope so I keep to the outskirts. Theres a war going on with lots of shooting and everybody seems hostile. I geared guy spots me so i shoot him in the head from 200 m, nothing happens so I run and hide. I go up in a crane adn spot the guy and a friend on sniper hill. I watch them for a while adn they kill another player down by the guard house so I shoot one of them but he sneaks away. The other guy starts shooting so I shoot him too but hes immune to bullets. He approaches the crane adn im forced to keep low as his friend shoots whenever I pop up. He starts talking to me, trying to lure me out but just as Im gonna pop him again the server restarts :/ I log in on the same server but the two guys doesnt show up so i go down from the crane and continue on to kamyshovo. A couple of hundred metres away someone starts shooting at me from the elektro side so i hide in a tree. I hear him bustling past and just as Im gonna ready my gun I see that ITS MISSING! The damn game left it in the crane! I only have a cr75 as backup so i sti tight for a bit then decide to go back for my gun. I make it to the fences by the guardhouse when I am shot at and hit. I lie down and the guy comes running, its the same one from before or at least he looks the same but hes not talking. He probably thinks Im dead but I empty ten bullets into him and he drops. I take his AK and leave. everything else on him is ruined. I cant get his name as he's already left the server. Half my equipment is ruined but I can reload the ak and feel quite good about the whole thing. Now happens the most annoying thing of the whole evening. I am hydrated and energized but my screen stays white. I bandage myself, use morphine and epi-pen and eat six or seven cans of food and drink lots of water and soda. I do notice that my statuses are not updating and the server is emptying so i go to another public server. On this one the statuses seem to work as I am instantly unconscious and never wake up. And I had gone all the way from Elektro to maybe 500 m from Stary sobor just to drop because of those damn statuses not updating. Really annoying.

I didn't notice they changed it either, lol.

I understand the idea behind this and the idea is not bad, the implementation is though as as a player you dont have control over it. Items picked up are placed where they shouldnt be and this causes the place for the weapon to not exist and its instead placed on the ground. Sometimes the weapon then dissapear and cannot be retrieved. This happens every time I play in one way or another. Often dissapeared items can be found in the vicinity as they are usually placed somewhere. But if you have already moved away from the area when you noticed your item is gone it can be extremely frustrating. Ofcourse these situations can be avoided if you are very meticulous with your inventory.
