Is it considered bad form to server hop at military areas?
Abram_ replied to zombieland78's topic in New Player Discussion
Yes. But only if you're being a Whore about it. I wouldn't blame anyone for server hoping to find a mag or two for one of the new guns. I'm pretty sure we all do it too some extent. -
Keep your head on a swivel and verbally engage of you see someone. I try to avoid groups of 3 or more, and try to stay out of sight before i use myic I start with a "hello" or a "how's igoing?", and ask if they need anything, helping of i can, or two then if came across gear or food they're looking for. If they draw, flee while assuring then that I'm not looking for a fight. Your appearance seems to play a role in how intetactions go. Don't cover your face, travel with empty hands or a melee weapon out, and verbally communicate. As the game progresses and folks have more interactions with others, the Kos rate seems to be going down if you're not in a military base. In my experience anyway. One common thing that comes up after a short chat is that we're glad to have an encounter not end in murder. But there will always be dicks. Once you generally stop caring about losing your gear, you can take these chances.

Play another game. Quit whining.

Cheating douchebaggery is an unfortunate pay of multiplayer gaming. The anti-cheat people do their best, but as with any cheat/anticheat battle, they're anyways catching up to the shitheads. Fortunately, it's still fairly uncommon. I've only encountered one confirmed cheater. I left the server right away.

I use this method to test of a tree provides cover from region : put a bother or canteen in your hands and try to fill it with rainwater. If you can't, then you're not getting rained on. I guess you can also wrong out your top, and wait to see if it gets soaked again..

I don't bother with holidays, so I'll be killing as much as i do now: poor attempts to be friendly or passive, but kill any i run into a player with their gun out. It's what Jesus would've wanted.

Whatever you can afford. Nvidia or AMD - no matter. Bang for buck is pretty much equal.

Works fine for me. If punching, aim for the head. Screwdrivers, axes, pickaxes, shovels, hacksaws, and hoes seem to do the best. Of course this may change a bit when we get to future versions. As fur movement, just steel to the side. Ashtrays. That way, even if you get a bit of lash, they still will miss you.

I heard a confirmed headshot one once when i didn't communicate properly and a buddy killed me. A single shot to the chest can certainly drop you to unconsciousness. Though Prostine vests seem to be able to prevent it.

Working gunshot audio, far fewer server crashes, and reasonable Footwear degradation, and I'm happy. I played the .50 Exp a ton before those constant server restarts drive me back to Stable, but it was pretty awesome, otherwise.

Once they're persistent, yes.

the bow is terrible at anything longer than melee range

[quote name="Whyherro123" We can.....gather feathers from chicken coops? TELL ME MORE! Chicken coops are in back yard. Little chesy-high wooden blocks with a tiny ramp and a open hatch at bottom right. Walk up, and collect from there. Search success rate is pretty high. I sideways knew they existed, but i didn't notice how abundant they were until i stayed looking for them. .. I still have yet to see a Chicken. Hmm, i guess thef silty to steel those feathers came with the last update. Good . -

Hah. Awesome. Thanks, phone. I think I'll leave it as is. I RECALL reading i fix. Yeesh. -

Abram_ replied to Hi Im Brad's topic in General Discussion
The trick to a straight (horizontally) shot is to watch your hand sway, and fire once it's s to the far left. It's not really viable past 40m or so. The do and the slow does of the site make it nigh useless beyond that. But it's pretty fun to build and use. More that we can gather feathers from coops. Still lemme that we cannot stack then. One father per slot. So silly. Perhaps they'll make a recurve or compound bow one dsu. Remember they the game calls it a "short bow". -

Go to the Battleeye website. I rectally they provide info on reinstalling the files. Perhaps running the Verify Files function in Steam will help. -
``Server connection lost 12...13...14... etc seconds ago``
Abram_ replied to kubiszok's topic in Troubleshooting
You get that after the server had restated. You may notice that you cannot interact with the world or your items a few seconds before that message. If YOUR connection drops, you get bored bsck to the server list with a mate in a read box. I forget what it reads. SOME servers are configured to display a restart warning to players. Usually 5- and 1-minute warnings. Then again, some servers crap out before they're supposed to.. Especially on the most recent Experimental. -
I personally love when i lose track of where i am. By it rarely happep these days. Or... DayZ.

Also, having your HDR set to Very Low causes some faint flicker - though mostly in the woods.

Unwatched meat gets burnt. Just like real life. Though sometimes they take longer than real steaks do. They must be thick cuts.

Eating and drinking system - Please, just give it up.
Abram_ replied to Ham_Sandwich27's topic in General Discussion
I think it's mostly fine as it is. I've downed dozens of times and have yet to starve or Freeze to death. Though I've come very close. Actually my third person exp character is currently "freezing" for about 4 minutes before my game crashed and i had to go to work... :/ im not to optimistic. Though i am in Novo.... In any case, the eating and drinking is a big party of the game. Wouldn't be the same without it. Play another game if you want it easy. -
Hopefully these are the sorry of things that could be done with the eventual modding tools.

"hold breath" works, but the effect is not as fanatic as it used to be. Personally, i think the way it is now is near perfect. It actuality makes it a bit difficult to hit targets at over 400m. I guess it's be nice if the crosshair stopped DEAD, but only for a literal second or so. Without the bipod, that is. Sniping at vast distances should not яs easy as it was before .49.
-
Please stop the game from automatically assigning hotkeys slots for newly acquired items. No one wants things like rope, stones, or similar items in there. Please leave the hotkeys to the player. Although this had always bugged me, its potentially fatal in .49 and .50 Exp, with the new bug that equips slot3 item when the fire key is hit a few times (melee weapons only, i believe). Just yesterday i was having an axe fight with a player and my freaking guy pulled out his canteen, and i died. I do my best to clear out slot3 whenever i can, but i don't always catch it.

... Kill that third guy.

My understanding of how loot spawns will (in the end) work in persistent servers is that most of our will eventually vanish if it's picked up, dropped and left without nearby players for a while, then it will respawn elsewhere. I was curious about this, and the scattering of info i found led me to this. Mend I'm completely wrong. But it seems a radians method. If items didn't "die" on their own when not in use, every server would be packed with items after a couple days. And that would just be silly .
