Thank you. Someone finally understands the idiocy of random loot. If this keeps up we will be finding helicopters on top of castles and boats on airfields.

Please actually fully read my post next time before you respond. I didn't only mention ammo or guns, I mentioned that I couldn't find food, or the materials I need to fish. And in order to hunt I need a weapon. I never said I was looking to start clan wars lol, my whole point is that the lack of loot makes it impossible to access these other means of getting food, on top of the zombies popping in randomly to screw you over whilst your looting. Sure, great, military loot doesn't spawn logically anymore, medical loot spawns randomly, and basically it creates a 100% luck-based looting system, whereas if loot spawned rather predictably, it would create a skill-based looting system. You want that ak with pso and bipod? Then you better go to a mil. base and risk your life for it, not find it at a bus stop. You're sick and need charcoal tabs? Then you better find the nearest hospital, rather then just randomly looting houses on the way, hoping to find it. There was too much canned food, now there is too little.

Shall we sacrifice more bambis to them in order to fix persistence faster? :)

I'm getting the feeling that you have no idea what you're talking about. So, today I went to both Green Mountain and Vybor military base on a ten player server. I found no guns, one mag and several weapon flashlights, In between, I visited several villages. I found a total of two cans of food. Now how am I supposed to survive on that, or regain health on that, when I'm constantly being battered down by the zombies I try to sneak past, and then don't hear because audio is bugged? Guess how many guns or rounds I found? 0 guns, and some .22 rounds. After checking 2 military bases and dozens of houses, I had almost nothing to show for it. And I do check bus stops, etc but all I ever find is books. Welcome to the end of the world. Not the total destruction and removal of every almost single useful item in the world.

Well when it's impossible to find food and impossible to hunt because you can't find guns and ammo and impossible to fish because you can't find hooks then guess what; it doesn't matter if there's a bunch of shirts and teddy bears that could be useful to someone, you'll starve to death. And then you'll respawn and repeat the process and keep respawning until you find a lucky can of beans. And then you'll die because you can't find any weapons to defend yourself from players or zombies. I'm fine with making zombies harder, but the loot mechanics of 0.55 are troubling to say the least, considering that the lack of food and ability to get food make it extremely difficult to get anywhere. Surviving at the moment is more about dumb luck then managing your food supplies or hunting, since food rarely spawns and when it does it's in weird places.

But these guys/girls we are playing as all seem reasonably fit, and I believe that a few strong hits with an axe from one of them would at least cripple most beings. I'm not saying that most people could in real life, but it makes sense gamewise. fat and slow people-Zed food.

Yeah, in real life, could anything take more then three axe hits before they died?

I walked through Kamyshovo purposely shooting off mosin rounds and no zombies came... -_- I'm sure I wont have that problem when I'm a newspawn.

At first I read it as "New Weapon, V3S" Best weapon for suicide, that's for certain.

Somehow removing the ability to use TS or Skype,(not sure if they even can) would make it even harder to organize events and play with friends then it already is.

Resistance is futile. Although yeah, FOV should probably require a server change.

Those look great!

So, today somewhere near Kamyshovo I engaged in a firefight on a full server. I shot gunned one guy with a mosin, and was shot once by another one with a mosin while looting his body. I retreated since I lost some color from that shot. Later on, I found him again. At very close range he shot me twice. I shot at him and missed. While I tried to pull out my axe he finally got me. That was four shots, three from ~10 meters away. I was wearing a raincoat, and no protection otherwise. So has mosin damage been nerfed? Since last I remember I should have been dead after a shot or two at close range.

Guess it was desync then, judging by the responses

I'd love to see the m16a4, since we have 4 AK variants so maybe it's time to branch out a bit.

Funnily enough, you also got your wish of there being very few pso scopes in the game. And SVD confirmed and model leaked recently. You must be pyschic.

You can stack v3s's on top of each other if you get on one on higher ground and one below.(not sure where you'd do this)

First off it's Chernarus, second In a post soviet-state, there should be a fair amount of AKs left from the soviet military presence.

Yes, but there should be instruction manuels you must read/find for your dude to be able to start it up. And NO gunships with rockets. They're op enough in battlefield, they'd break Dayz.

Why not a Minimal Wear Trombone? Or a Field Tested Trombone? Or a Well Worn Trombone? Or a Battle Scarred Trombone? Do weapons actually degrade now? My AKM and MP5 are still both pristine after much use.

So I spawn in to check out the new patch. I go to the police station nearby, and the outside looks like someone painted a mass of colors onto it and the interior is invisible(I can see floating loot). This happens with all buildings. Is there a fix for this? I have a feeling it may be my computer/settings not the game. Thanks. (not putting in feedback tracker since it may already have a fix)

Thanks, that fixed it

Didn't fix it. And the game lags to unplayability now. Sigh....

You mean verify game cache? I'll try that

The barracks in the middle of NWAF is the only place I found one.
