Spawned at gas station near elektro, found lots of stuff incl 1911 + mag in same house, met new spawn at well, gave him rice, got killed by his geared mate, re-spawned at the same point, they were waiting for me, got shot again, spawned at solnichniy, almost got killed by a zed, almost starved, ate blue berries, got sick, ate raw rabbit, drank lots of well water, still sick, passed out (due to sickness?!), was unconscious for half an hour, logged out, logged in, news pawn... great patch, very very smooth gameplay! fuck kosers! ps. finding stones is a pain... makes no sense, stones are everywhere!

ah, ok, I misunderstood it then, but how anout the Izh8 (which by the way is a beast :))? description says it has a 11m rail

Just tried mounting the PU scope on Izh18 and Trumpet... no luck :(

Anyone care to speculate on what that code/script snippet is all about? Looks like a scripted event to me: if you're a white female character and kill 3 zombies you get a flare as a reward :)) what's that supposed to mean?

So they borrowed a little from Zombicide rules = proven to make a a game hardcore :)

is it only me, or the running speed was actually reduced and the 1st pp camera lowered?

I already tried it, it behaves just like any other bullet, same cracking noise, no visuals.

great idea, subtle but powerful usability improvement righ there! have you submitted it to the feedback tracker yet?

+100! I can't wait for this to become the game I always thought it would be... a survival simulator where you need to take your time and carefully plan each move, not a quake arena clone plus zombies, beans and minus the bunny jumps.

in case anybody's wondering how the new patch works, I experienced still a lot of lag/desync/rubberbanding, and found only 1 first person server in EU

By adopting this approach, we should aslo be able to shoot the bow while moving ;)

I'm not against having a different recipe for crafting bolts where instead of wooden sticks you would need some kind of metal/aluminium tubes which you should be able to find in those contruction and industrial areas

I still wonder why you can't craft crossbow bolts yet.... Should work the same as arrows crafting + maybe another action with a knife/machete to shorten the pointed stick...

I get more crashes in this version :(

I just killed a fully geared bandit on experimental last evening with 1 single MP-133 shot from 10-15m and 90% of his clothes got ruined. So either the shotgun power and/or damage system is broken on 0.50 stable and now fixed in experimental OR that guy was a cheater. I'm rather inclined to assume it was the latter.

did you ever visit Eastern European villages? I think most of the houses are pretty accurate in proportions, what I would love to see though is more diversity but they mentioned that adding more unique buildings is one of thier long term goals

I was playing on the dayztv.com private shard server lately. Seems cool, and the 2-3 people I ran into so far were very friendly, one actually had the upper hand on me while I was reorganizing my backpack but decided not to kill me, hopefully it stays that way ;)

would have done the same! if you're not happy there are now lots of options to die, go jump off a roof, get kileld by Zs, drown yourslef, even start a fight without the moaning, whatever, just don't run arownd annoying other people and breaking their immersion :))

how can you find an official server?

what if I told you you can join a low populated server (5-10) players and you're pretty much free to loot and test for most of the time. I'm actually doing this quite often.

the only new thing I se is setting compatiblity for WinXP...which is weird enough. How much difference does that really make?

"Today I couldn't even check the clinic building for morphine because I couldn't crawl up the stairs to the main door. Sometimes it's just too hard to get a splint or morphine. To balance this mechanic, the shock value of the fracture should increase faster due to the pain, but slow down if you stop moving and rest." Been there, done that. What I think we really need in the first place is the ability to crawl up/down stairs and rocks. However, here I would see the need for a new animation, but the guys should have no problem to motion caputure themselves dragging their arses up some stairs :)

where to get gsm signal from? all gsm operators are dead and looking for brainz now.

I also feel that there is too much focus on military guns and vehicles for a survival sim. I'm for keeping the military gear, but make it especially rare and hard to find (you can't really expect them to be removed now after so much work has been put into them). Plus, I have the same opinion about the oncoming vehicles as I really dontt want dayz to become a gta or battlefield clone. In the end, how many of the players who keep asking for tanks and helicopters can really expect they would find and be able to use such a machine in a real apocalypse?
