Just in case you dont know about the current bug which randomly prevents splints being made or applied Put bandages/rags in your hand. Press F11 and drag sticks onto your hand before the animation finishes and a splint will be made instantly. Put the splint into your hands, press F11 and apply the splint before the animation finishes and you are sorted.

Phantom arm breaks are a Mosin snipers worst enemy. When you get hit from Zeds, there is a chance you have a broken/damaged arm , but the game isn't telling you so, and this introduces impossible sway at 4-500m+. Its also essential that you remap your hold breath key to another key if you use RMB to zoom the LRS. Before taking up a sniper position, splint yourself. I almost exclusively use the Mosin and get plenty 800m kills. The only thing that annoys me is that its often difficult to see where your shots are landing at 700m+ so can be hard to adjust aiming. Sometimes they dont visually register at a distance

Nicely done. Always super risky to approach geared individuals, never mind 2 or 3 of them.

Having issues applying splints. Morphine was fine. Might be linked to the same issue as not being able to skin as I have to cancel the action when nothing happens to try it again.

Is it more to do with your luck on where the spread of the pellets land?

The most inept bandits I have ever met try to lure me into a false sense of security.

No problem. Glad you enjoyed it :)

I think they were real life friends on teamspeak as they seemed to be planning something without speaking in game. Perhaps Im wrong though. I'm sure desync/hitboxes played a part in their demise :)

Thanks for the feedback guys. They really were useless :)

He hasnt played in 6 months so he did get wiped

Wheres the brains busting out the top of your head? :) Try a different aspect ratio bud

You mean the experimental patch where spawning is not working correctly and tents are spawning where they should not be spawning, and the bug will be fixed before stable release?

I meant unless your searching for them in the apartments you wont find a tent spawn. You can find any item if you kill someone with it or find it where someone hid it

In principle, I agree. But with no other real point in going into the apartment buildings (apart from sniping), unless you actively search for them you will never just stumble across one.

The breaking legs issue is a common DayZ dsync/lag issue. The server thinks you are slightly somewhere else and then when it syncs, it thinks you are in the middle of the floor and breaks your legs accordingly. I have had many breaks and a few deaths (probably 4 or 5) in the last few months due to this. Improvements in server performance will hopefully lessen these episodes. Persistent servers have a loot spawning problem just now. There can be towns or sectors of the map that are completely empty of anything useful and other areas where its a loot explosion. A lot of servers have turned persistence off due to this. Sounds like the dude who killed you spawned into that room (he probably logged off there earlier). Not sure why both of you lagged out before your deaths, probably just coincidence or server lag. Shots have a sound bug just now that means you sometimes cannot hear them.

Lots of shots fired in Elektro Fire Station. I went to investigate and decided to play the waiting game.

Trying to :) Got a load more on my youtube channel if you are interested See my signature.

Cheers bud. Patience mixed with a little bit of luck and blind panic due to a gun failing to reload :)

I think fruit and veg should be completely removed. I cant remember the exact duration from the outbreak (its intended to be months rather than years), but no matter how long its been, all the fruit would be rotten in days. I look forward to the day where we rejoice when we find a can of tactical bacon and almost have an orgasm when we find rice. Im sure they will tweak the hunger/food system in due course when it is the right time to do so. I actually play on a loot borked persistent server on one of my alts for the simple reason that its so hard to find food that I am forced to find rope/knife/axe etc to allow me to hunt. A glitch meant that my bow disapeared on me so Im on the long search for more rope to make another and to allow me to make a fishing rod. Its a much more enjoyable experience than RUN>LOOT FOOD>FIND GUNS>KILL. I think I have almost died twice now due to starvation, but its loads of fun playing the survival role on servers that dont spawn much of anything. If I find a loot explosion in a town on the map, Im going to keep travelling until it ends. On the hunt for a fishing lure now and a plastic bottle.

That isnt normal weapon sway or phantom broken arm sway. Its a phantom status effect from being cold. Sit by a fire for a few seconds and it will go away.

I once had a firefight with some dude about 50m apart, and during an exchange of gunfire, 2 cows being chased by about 8 zombies ran inbetween our positions. We both paused for about 10 seconds to puzzle at the absurdity of the situation, before resuming murdering each other.

I don't quite see the point of this poll. Loot will never be "fixed" until everything has been added to the game and the developers start to analyse playstyles and balancing issues. "Fixed" also has many conitations. Do you mean fixed, as in, able pick items up properly? Fixed relating to balance? Fixed relating to item spawn ratios and spawn points? Fixed as in Persistent vs non-persisten servers? Fixed as in the amount of food spawning compared to hunger balancing? Fixed as in the availability of miliary loot? Fixed as in loot spawning under the floor of building?

Funnily enough, me and my friend both CTD at exactly the same time a few days ago. Logged back into the server and I crashed again 5 minutes later, but he did not.

Not on non-persistent servers. Found 2 last night (see link) http://redd.it/2oypss

I play on about 15 private hives and I am a bit of a lootwhore and like the gearing up experience. Each character is doing something different and the loot runs they do entirely depend on where they spawn and what my plan for that character is. Some are total survivalists and after acquiring basic supplies (matches/knife etc) just explores and wanders the map. One is at the fishing village in the NE searching for netting to become a ghillie. I log in, search and log off. Once I have some netting and can make the suit he will begin his adventure/journey I have a few private hive alts parked near V3S spawns so I can log in and have a quick check if its there. If it is, I play that alt. Once I have checked all my alts, I have about 4 or 5 alts placed in different places on the map, I pick one to play depending on my mood.
