I knew it was all those flashlights that was hogging the performance.

Niburu already happened, did you miss it? Tough look but don't worry, only 36.000 years til next time woot!

Its summer now. Probably autumn.

Anyone need some rak mags? Btw, this character died falling off a ladder at nwaf. Kinda dissapointing.

I would like it if there was a game mode where everybody logs in as a newspawn and when you leave the server, that life is over. You play til you drop or decide to end it. I don't think this should be the standard game mode but more of a quick-trip if you want to do something different. As the game is right now the exciting part of it is the gearing up part, surviving with very little against all odds and better geared players. Once you get geared, the only challenge that exist is pvp, which isn't working super-great.

Is growing working better in 0.57 then? Since its a bit of hit and miss in 0.55. Sometimes you can't plant seeds, sometimes you can't water it etc. Its quite annoying to gather all the stuff needed and then not get something planted anyways.

Yeah, nicely done actually. I thought it would just be another bambi punchout video but this was really good.

Quite eventful day today. I logged in in Cherno as an almost newspawn and went to the bluetop building looking for a gun. As Im climbing the ladder I hear shooting above so i approach carefully. At the secondmost top floor a guy sits reloading a mosin so i rush up and punch him. He drops. I check him and hes alive so I steal his mosin and backpack and ammo and leave him. I climb down and rush away. As I check the gear it turns out that the mosin didnt stick so im stuck with a silenced makarov :/ Still, food, water and ammo aint so bad. I stick around the town and after a while I hear mosin shooting and I see that the guy is still on the server. Good for him. I go to elektro and log out. I log in with another character on prison island. Nobody is there but some nice loot is. I swim to the shore and go to Kamarovo. Since my boots broke going ashore I run to the policestdation. Having just found a new pair a guy rushes in. hes fully geared with a shotgun in his hands so i mow him down. I check his body and hes dead. As I begin to loot him two more guys enter, i shoot one more and retreat under fire. The guys talk to me spouting the normal bullshit fo "you didnt need to shoot" " Come down, we wont shoot" etc. This bores me as I know from experience that if I hadnt shot them they would have killed me, which I tell them. And waddyaknow, even as they are trying to talk me into giving up and get fair treatment, one of their guys snipes at me. I get a good position and wait but they do not come so after five minutes or so I log out. I log in with my public character and hes also in cherno. Theres someone shootign with an ak so I set upon finding him. I quickly find him as hes shooting a newspawn trying to knock him out. I take some potshots but they dont seem to hit, strangely enough. I follow him and he killes three more newspawns attacking him. I hear him go into a house and seeing a corpse in teh doorway I naturally assumes its the house he entered. I toss a flashbang in and enters but its empty. Turns out hes in the house next door. I wait for him to exit but after ten minutes I give up and log out. .

Only one dead today. Shot dead by some wannabe-kos:ing bastard sniper asshole after stepping out of a truck in Myshkino mil base. Got into a firefight in cherno with another character and killed one guy. After sitting in a room waiting for ten minutes I noticed the server had crashed :/

Everybody was kung-fu sniping!. Unfortunately this is something that will happen. A lot. There is no way to avoid it unless you wanna sit in a bush all day. But a good way to avoid being shot it to move a lot and to wait and listen for a while before moving into cities and villages. Often you will hear shooting and can pinpoint the location and avoid them. As for navigation, use this map: http://dayzdb.com/map/chernarusplus#7.121.117 After a while you will learn the locations of important places and can get there without a map. There are also maps ingame to find and use.

Arrgh! Three characters dead! Two to complete bullshit and one in a regular firefight. The first, pretty well-geared guy on a roof in berezino, sniped ten seconds after log-in. I have no idea from where. Second guy, running through upper berezino with a shotty in my hands, I see two guys, one starts shooting into the grocery store while standing five metres away from me. The other one doesnt even have a gun. Wtf? Either there was the mother of all lags or someone else shot me. Third guy was on prison island. i drove there in a v3s but once I got there the server crashe dand didnt restart so i went there yesterday. I already had an m4 so I was mostly lookign for ammo and a vest. As I enter a room a guy sits there, having probably just logge din. He starts shooting with an sks but I manage to rasie my m4 and spray him dead. I get hit badly and have to bandage, use morphine and drop a bunch of ruined stuff. While I'm doing it the door opens so I ready myself. A guy runs in and then starts spraying with a rak, i empty my mag into him and we both drop. I die so I don't know if he survived, probably not. This death was fun at least. Only five more geared characters to go before wipe, hehe.

Yesterday i played with a bunch fo characters due to the wipe coming today. Mostly I spent my time looking at people fighting it out in Berez but I also went to the NW airfield armed with only an improvised bow. I didn't meet a single person but someone had kindly left me a fully kitted M4 and six 60 round mags at the ATC. The mags were all empty but I already had some 5.56 so it was gold. I also went to the prison island on public but the loot was kinda dissapointing. Some mp5 mags but not one single gun. Someone fired at me but I couldn't find him afterwards. It was weird. Having only a trumpet I would probably have ben killed.

Theres a reason for the weird loot spawns. All public servers have persistance on while private servers can have it on or off. Having it off means that every time the server restarts the loot is renewed and you can survive and gear up a player normally. Having it on mean loot will be in the same place even if the server is restarted(in a perfect world) but it also means that if a town has been picked clean, it will be a long time before anything of value spawn there again. Persistance also creates a bug called lootsplosions, which basically means an enormous amount of loot grouped in the same area. Usually crap loot but sometimes really good stuff. 0.57 will most likely continue this trend of persistance and its problems if its anything like experimental. The zombies should be the same. Theya re not different on private or public servers.

Theres zoom?

weirdos

i had a weird day. I played with my public 3pp well-geared guy and spanwed at the atc at NW airfield(great!) and it was littered with stuff. First I thought it was a lootsplosion but it turned out it wasn't. I noticed when i went upstairs and someone shot at me. He then shot at me through the window. When i checked I sawe that there was a mosin guy with clownmask on on top of the fire station. I tried to get out but couldn't so i took the cowards way out and combatlogged. I respawned on another server and didn't get shot at so I checked the houses. As i'm climbing the firestation my toon misses the stair and falls to his death(time for a fix for this soon?). I respawn outside cherno adn almsot right away i hear a truck. As I'm crossing the main road I find a crashed truck with two bodies in it. I manage to get them out and get some decent gear. Only a blaze with two bullets but still better than nothing. I am then shot in cherno and have to respawn. I respanw outside cherno again and managed to get through to balota. As i wgo into the ATC I see a rifle barrel sticking through the stairs. I say hello and rush up and meet a guy with an ak. I talk and explain that i onyl have a trumpet and am harmless but hes gonan kill me anyways. Suddenly he stops shooting so i run downstairs to get out but the door wont open! Then I get the message not received stuff. Phew!

I logged in and had a geared character with ak, suppressed pistol and nice stuff in cherno that was sick with cholera. I had found some antibiotics before I logged out but they wasnt up-pickable so i had to find some fast. I ran around looking into all the houses but found zilch. So I made the dumb decision to check the police station as theres sometimes medics there. When I exited after not finding anything a newspawns outside. He drops all his stuff and talks and suddenly I'm shot dead by one shot. So he was probably just a lure. I would have died anyways pretty soon so no matter. I respawn in chernya polana and run to the industrial towers. As I'm going down froim the towers I meet a guy with a wrench. He attacks me ofcourse even though I have nothing so i try to climb down the ladder. He hits me and I go unconscious. After some time I wake up and am still on the ladder, bleeding. I tell him how stupid and silly he is then climb down. for soem reason I can't walk, my character just lays down, even though I don't have a fracture. A zombie appears and knocks me unconscious again. I respawn fifty metres away(I have never gotten that spawn before) and run to my corpse. The murderer is gone, theres no zombie corpse and my body is unlooted. I pick my stuff up and hide. Nobody shows so i move on. Half an hor later I have a backpack, food and a loaded mosin.

Two simple attacks and a block would be fine. Small attack, large attack. Many much simpler games have it so it shouldn't be too hard to do. The melee system we have now is quite broken. You'd think that a person weilding an axe or machete would have no problem taking out an unarmed attacker but due to its ridicoulness its often the opposite.

Really nice production. I pity the fools that fall victim to you.

The game is just so much more fun and immersive in 1pp than 3pp. Its sad that people defending 3pp just can't seem to see it. I voted for loving it but really feel that the 3pp mode needs to be there since its iconical for the Dayz franchise. And also for the kiddies learning to play.

Theres a setting for most soundcards and even for built-in sounds called "what you hear". Basically you need to turn down the volume in your game and play music instead for it to work or it will loop the game sounds. Theres also the option to have dual soundcards playing different sounds and switch between them but I'¨m not sure Dayz/Arma supports it. Most people I meet ingame playing music seems to play them on speaker with the mic on.

Yesterday i killed a girl. A real one. A first for me. She did ask me to and gave me her backpack with gear first but still. I didn't skin her though.

There are plenty of games for those who think its important to see their characters or their clothes in game, heres a few: http://www.girlsgogames.com/games/doll_dress_up_games. For most players, this is not important and they don't play 3pp for that particular reason, they do it because its easier to get a good grasp of the situation at hand, where there are players, what they are doing and how to tactically outmaneuver them. I don't particularly agree that this gives them an unfair advantage though as everyone can do it but its not very kosher. But what one person thinks is not relevant. Its what the community thinks that is important. Lets try the new angle and see what happens. If its crap we can all whine about the unfinished game we thought not being what we thought it was going to be even though we were told not to buy it from the very beginning and all will be well.

Persistance working? When? I've never had a time where I could trust that the items I left in the world would be around on my next log-in. They could be, but they could also not be and thats not something I call persistance. The only thing persistance has given us so far is empty maps, lootsplosions and hoarding. None of these things add anything of value to the game except possibly some happiness at finding someones hidden tent. It would probably be beneficial to skip persistance and CLE for a while, work on it internally and release it once its working, just like they are doing. It does however sometimes feel like we are traveling backwards in time. I tried the other day to explain to my friend what progress the game has had since he quit playing 6 months ago but once we got to the bugs it turned out ALL of them was still there, and then some.

I only played for a short time today because I got so angry at a little kid. I met a guy in Berezino. he had a shotgun and so had I but none of us had ammo. He asked if I could help him so i followed him a to his friend who was rolling in the road. I went to get a stick for a splint but a zed attacked me. The kid killed it but I got bleeding so I sat to bandage. He then kills me. I told him not to but he just goes on and then rants about how I was going to kill him? So stupid and unnessecary. I was recently spawned, had a backpack but nothing in it. I have earlier on decided not to give up on people but try to play the good guy-playstyle but things like this gets to you.
