No gas in them, they always spawn empty. You mostly find them in garages and low garage-like sheds. I tried killing a player with one once but it was too unwieldy so I let him go.

Ive spawned twice, both Svet

Why is this thread even a thing? With 0.58 all your dreams have come true. You actually have to move around to find anything, and going to the NW airfield means a guaranteed death. It does leave the coasts empty though and since we spawn there, life will be hell for most newspawns. Especially when those who have already done the tour around the map comes down to unleash death on people who now have nothing to protect themselves with. I actually like 0.57 and much rather play it than 0.58. It gives you more of a choice: Stay in Cherno/elektro/Berezino and PVP with the multitude of weapons and players or move north and gear up while in 0.58 theres really only one option: Run around the map alone and gear up. I switch between them quite a lot though which works fine. And this gets me back to an option I've spoken about many many times, the choice. Theres a Hardcore mode and a normal mode. why not let the Hardcore mode be survivalist, with minimal spawns and a brutal damage model and normal mode be 0.57 style PVP spawns? It would cater to all without shutting those out who want a different playstyle. I actually believed HC was a much harder mode when I started playing but it was just 1pp, nothing more. Quite a dissapointment.

I get killed every day by assholes who have mics, it doesnt mean anything. And Ive ran around with newbs that didnt have mics and it worked out fine. Theres a textchat you know. I often use it to communicate with people when I want to be unseen. Its sad that so many people kill without trying to communicate and also that they kill bambis who have no chance to protect themselves. But if you carry a gun in your hands, its free game.

0.57 still got zombies at a normal low rate. 0.58 got extremely low number of zombies. I only saw one in ten hours of gameplay.

Died twice due to complete assholes. First I made it all the way from Cherno to Elektro where a guy tried to kill me from a water tower so I shot him with my Longhorn. I didn't get to loot him though as two other guys appeared so I legged it. When I approached Kamy someone sniped people on the road so I snuck around trying to get to him but he dissapeared. I got to Kamy but the game acted up adn ditched my AK so I switched servers. I met a guy almsot right away and decided to give him a rak mag that I had no use for. A minute later he kills me with it. Ungrateful Sod. I respawned in Solnichy and got to Kamy where I found a M4 in a shed. I was pretty happy til I went out of the shed and was shot and woundedby some sniper-wannabe-Kos-whore. I dropped all my gear and rolled towards the shoreline but he just had to kill me anyway. What a fucking loser.

Actually West of Elektro On the south coast of Chernarus, looking towards the road to cherno that lies behind the hill farthest away in the picture. Today two deer jumped into the middle of the road at Kamenka in 0.58:

Who's arguing? I just told you where you are, just like you asked. You didn't like the answer - fine. You prefer to think thats South is West - fine. Do what you want. I don't understand why you would even argue something that everybody on this forum knows already. Just put down your faulty compass and google how to navigate the map and you will find all the info that you need. All the maps, including the Dayz ingame topographic map are place so north is up for easier navigating. You can also use this to find your way: http://dayz.gamepedia.com/Navigating Throw away your compass, its clearly broken. Also, since this a screenshot thread, looking west:

Its true that i'm a prick but the rest is pure nonsense. The coastal road runs from the west to east from Kamenka to Krutov cap then turns to run from south to north. Thast why the northwest airfield is called the NW airfield, because its in the Northwest seen from a coastal perspective. I actually don't use the compass anymore but I do believe in the maps that exist more than a random nublet on a forum.

Look at this map and tell me how you can be SOUTH of Elektro?: http://dayzdb.com/map/chernarusplus#5.101.132 P.S North is up. And you are at 129.034 west of Solnichy

They actually do not dissappear, they are moved. Unfortunately its hard to know where to, sometimes the entrance to houses, sometimes a place where you earlier moved things in your inventory. This bug still exists in 0.58 exp where its even more common.

Batterys arent rare on experimental, they spawn like they used to in the olden days. It also rains there, which it almost never does in 0.57. I say almost never because it rained once one me since the patch came out ten years ago.

I found a safe place to rest:

Well, where to begin, too long intro/outtro nobody wants that, too loud music that removes the dayz feeling, no sense of whats going on, none of the things shown really have any story so its just random clips of dayzeeing. Also, theres no dislike button on the forums.

Its just hit and miss basically. If the game is on your side the person you shoot will die, If its against you your shots will do no or minimal damage and you will die. Its different on every server and varies depending on server status. One thing I've noticed is that if you have the bug where your statuses aren't updating you can take a shitload of hits before you die. I've had a few funny situations happen where someone asks me to kill them and I fire at them point blank and miss because of this. Once even with a sawn-off shotgun when the guy was laying on the ground in front of me with broken legs.

The reason I play this game is for those moments when someone is nearby trying to kill you and you play cat and mouse trying to outsmart eachother. Not shooting like crazy but rather getting the drop on the other person. These moments are great fun, it doesnt matter if its in a squad or alone against one or multiple opponents and actually I dont usually care wether i live or die, its that exciting feeling you get at these moments that are the reason I play. I' ve never had this feeling while playing Battlefield or any pure Shooter. The reason I prefer the gearing up process much more than "fully geared" is that things get much more exciting when you only have a shotty and 6 bullets than when you have Ak, mp5, cr and fnx and three mags for each. The gearing up part of the game is for me much more a shaping of the character than the pure survival that some of the hardcore "Bear-gryllers" seem to want from this game. Right now its almost silly how fast you go from Bambi to fully geared and it ruins the gameplay.

Today the game annoyed the hell out of me when I lost three fights only due to it not working. First I ran a truck to kamyshovo, a guy stood by the wayside shooting at me and there were bodies everywhere, I ran him over but he took no damage, I exited and pulled out my mp5, didnt work, pulled out my ak, didnt work, pulled out my 357, didnt work. I ran and hid behind a rock while he tried to getaway in the truck. I tried everything to get at my gear but it was totally inaccessible to me. Finalöly the guy ran the truck up on a rock and got out and shot me. I almost punched my screen. I respawned and geared up a bit, met and unfriendly person who stood five metres away punching the air, I fell unconcious. I woke up a bit later and all he had taken was my trumpet. Good for him. I then found a longhorn and ammo in the house just nearby. Later I met another guy with the same character, he ran into the house I was in weidling an axe. I shot him six times with my sks before going unconcious without even taking any hits. When I ran back to my corpse only my body remained so it seemed bullets don do anything when I fire them. Fuck this shit!

Now that is a sweet ass picture.

Yesterday I made sweet sweet love to a pig:

Actually this is incorrect. The playerbase was cut in half by the "famine" patch of march where loot was ruined and nothing could be found, and since it was patched by 0.57 it has been at basically the same level after that. Nobody seems to have left waiting for 0.58 and the only reason the experimental servers are full is because there are less of them. Why claim "people want this" "people want that" when the only thing YOU know is what YOU want. It seems that there are people who want to run in the forest all day, gathering pieces of supplies here and there, foraging and living off what scraps they can find and then there are those who want pure pvp, a gun n run experience where guns and ammo are plentiful and killing and interacting with other players IS the game. Then there are those that want some of this and some of that, why can't there be both? There is a hardcore mode that isn't hardcore. Why not make it Famine and the other one An ak for all? That way everyone could get what they want except me, who wants a good balance of these things. The strange thing is that there actually was a very well-balanced game before persistance kicked in and broke everything. Thats when the Lootsplosions started and you could go on a server and there was nothing, absolutely nothing. Simply because it was laying in heaps in some house way up north. And now we wil try again.

I also believe that the insane guard buidlings spawn was a test to see if this is what the playerbase want compared to "the famine" that came before. Clearly its not. Balance is key.

If you look at the steam chart you will notice that the game started out fine, with lots of players, it has steadily dropped since. The so called "crappy pathces" is basically only one, the "Bear gryller" patch of March. That dropped the playerbase to half, not surprisingly as it was unplayable. I do fear that a lot of the people who have tried Dayz SA will not be back later as the going is to slow for them. I've seen this happen to other games and although its sad, 10-15.000 players is quite enough to still make this game fun. http://steamcharts.com/app/221100#All

Why would you leave an ump and not carry it with you?

I've found the pistols to be much better one-two shot killers than the smg's and have more kills with cr75 than any other weapon. But mostly the situation where you need the sidearm is quite hectical and its easier to just spray bullets than to actually aim. I almost always go for one long range rifle fo some sort or ak with kashtan, mp5 or ak74sy and cr or fnx. I rarely get to use all my guns before dying and have only run out of bullets in firefights twice in 1200 hours of gameplay.

I would so love it if there was a game-mode or a mod when the game is finally out that actually made you turn into a zombie over time if bitten, then forced to play as such until someone axes you. Didn't the have something like that in Left for dead multiplayer?
