I loot various types of buildings, dont remember seeing can opener for some time now.

Simply cant wait for the desync and connection loss bugs to be fixed. Once they are squashed, gonna be good times! p.s. what worries me is, that devs have problems with implemention of loot respawn. I hope there is nothing fundamentaly flawed in the architecture that makes this so problematic.

What about making .22 almost silent compared to the bigger calibers? Well the pistol already is. Also you can carry a lot more ammo for them as well. The only problem with them, in my opinion is, that without magazines, they are pain to use. Maybe they could spawn with a mag to make them more usable.

Sadly even users with quite good PC's have problems getting good frames in cities. I have i-7 4770K, 8GB ram, Radeon 7870 which I believe is far from weak PC and I struggle in Cherno / Elektro or Berezino. Have to put object details to low or very low to remain around 30 FPS which I hate, because game looks bad when I do so. So yeah, I keep waiting for more optimalisations for better FPS. Rocket said something about "proxies" being problem in tows so I hope fixing that will yield more FPS.

That's normal. Jesus can do such kind of stuff any day.

I have the same issue. Connecting to the server now takes minutes where before this patch I was loaded in 30 seconds or less. Cant report anything else since I was not yet in game. edit: also getting "session lost"

That could be sorted out with those new police stations and camo/jail buildings, that are almost everywhere. Maybe I just miss the old journey to the NWA....for which you usualy had to prepare, get some Enfield atleast or AK, do some offering to the Gods and only then head up north to meet your doom at NWA....or if lady luck willed it, you ended up with some really nice weapon :-). Atm there is zero incentive for players to travel all the way up north, since many of em get what they need in Balota, or above Kamenka or at Zelenogorsk. But I know, it's way too early to judge.

Call me a glutton, but I kinda wished that AKM would make it into this patch :-).

I agree but only if it would not put strain on the server. Would be cool to track people by trash they leave behind. Also to find killed and butchered animals....maybe even be able to see blood stains where wounded player or animal went.

Will be fun once devs implement specific police loot. Could be some shotgun, smgs and pistols I guess. What troubles me atm is, that we have some 14 barracks on the map, then there is several jail/camo buildings and now also lots of police stations. This to me seems as way too much, also it removes the meaning of pilgrimage to the NWA totally, which I don't think is a good idea. But maybe, somewhere in Beta, they will balance this somehow, or could make only NWA barracks to spawn the best stuff.

If you are refering to me, then you clearly misunderstood what I wrote. Russians were inspired by USA going lower caliber in Vietnam, ofc Russian had their own 5,45x39. I was not suggesting that Russians used the same caliber as USA, only that it was as well lower calibre then what was used before (AK47-AKM). Also if you are answering my post, it is a bit confusing to start it with "the guy refers", if you mean to address me. It seems a tad arrogant which is a trait I personally dislike a lot. Regarding 7,62x39 vs 5,45x39, if I should choose whether to trust your opinion or one of Kalashnikov himself.....I think you can guess which one carries a ton more value.

I can agree that DayZ SA damage model needs a lot of tweaking. I certainly would not want to see the situation same as in mod, where it took two pistol magazines to kill anybody (torso shots). Still I disagree that AK74 is vastly superior over AKM :-).

Nah, true reason why armies are not adopting 6,8 or 6,5 quickly are most likely the costs. Everything is set up for manufacture of 5,56 , there are huge stockpiles of these available, so it would be costly to rearm. Still I think the time will come and maybe soon then you think, guess we shall see. Although in these times, where US are cutting their army to historical minimums (supposedly A-10 are to be scraped, number of soldiers down to 450 000 etc) it is hard to imagine they would burn money on rearming to superior calibers. Regarding 5,45x39 being more lethal then 7,62x39 I do not think it was proven. Only thing I can give you is that due to less recoil, the AK-74 will be more accurate then AKM. Still I'd rather take AKM then AK-74 if ammo was not concern. Btw AKMS was quite popular with Russian Spetsnaz units, I believe these guys know their trade.

That guy's post is funny. He claims that AK74 should do more damage then AKM, which is nonsence. Just recently I saw a documentary with Mikhail Kalashnikov and he said, that it was grave mistake for Russians to blindly follow American M16 and adopting smaller calibre of 5,45x39. Also if smaller calibre was so godly (which it isnt), why the most likely near future calibre gonna be 6,5 or 6,8 ? It almost seem as if you gonna bash whatever Devs gonna make. But please, supporting of AKM being weaker then AK-74? It's just plain wrong and you know it.

Eh man c'mon. Are you really suggesting that they are copying stuff from Rust? Or that every other game with fireplace somehows owes this to Rust? Anyway if you are obsessed with Rust just go and play it, don't waste your time on forums of Dayz SA!

Yeah known bug, happened to me as well.

So are you saying, that running in windowed mode results in more FPS? I seldom use window mod in any game, but if it resulted in more FPS in DayZ SA I would consider it.

I think that whoever can take a break from DayZ SA for few weeks or more, is a winner here. I mean when you get back, some stuff bound to be fixed, game will have more features (cooking & hunting atleast) and stuff in general. It might also prevents some serious rustling of one's Jimmies.

Just take a break for a bit guys.

Please, pretty please, not that one again. It's among top 3 annoying threads, that are constantly reappearing. Same with "3rd person is haxx" or "Why devs are creating content and not fix bugs first". Wish folks really used search function bit more...

Good to hear that! There is a light at the end of the tunnel, despite of what doom sayers yell.

Yeah my buddy finished zombie by bashing him with hayfork, which did seem tad weird. Hope devs will iron things out with those desyncs and I will be happy.

So once we get AKM, we can expect the same bad accuracy as with SKS? I hope not.

Personally I was more excited when Rocket mentioned his wish, to one day include brand new map made for DayZ specifically, which would be more in western style (not cowboys, but either western Europe or USA). I would love to see map set in USA, something akin to what they show in Walking Dead. You know, smaller towns not far away from highway, maybe with one bigger city, far away from spawn locations. Just my thoughts.

Who, of the PC players, even gives a damn about console port?? If anything, many PC folks believe that console port would be bad for DayZ. The speed of development might not be the fastest one these days, but we all have been warned about Beta no sooner then end of this year....
