yes. i assume 0.55 will hit stable by then? if so we have a whole new threat to worry about, landmine trolling >:(

no i didn't.. steenRNS pointed this out as well. i could have sworn that pack was craftable without having to remove the items before this build.. but i'm probably just wrong lol i'm going to edit my post to avoid confusion

oh, thanks! i think most people go inland because the coast is completely stripped of weapons and other usefull things within hours of the update.. everybody's trying to find a spot that's not looted dry yet

here's a few things i noticed today. you can still craft a courier bag with a burlap sack and some string, but it's no longer possible to upgrade it to an improvised backpack using sticks.. (you only have to add sticks right?) i tried this with 2 different courier bags edit: nvm it works, i just did it wrong i can confirm what someone else posted here, the ice pick can't be used as a weapon anymore.. i had problems with the telescopic baton as well.. it would not open. minutes later when i had 2 zombies on me i tried again but i couldn't get it to open. while i was punching the zombies with my fists the baton opened while it was on my back. not sure what that was all about and the loot spawning system still isn't very good.. just after the update there was lots of loot, today i survived solely on berries and apples. took half an hour just to find a melee weapon (that telescopic baton) after 1.5 hours i was still wearing the jeans i spawned in and a dress. i wasn't even bothered that i couldn't upgrade the courier bag because i found almost nothing i wanted to take with me anyways. like yesterday i didn't see a single zed in the smaller towns either

don't try to activate damaged landmines.. just don't <_< also, i noticed a lot of zombies around the spawn area but once i made my way to the small towns in the north west they stopped spawning

i hope so.. since last weekend i'm seeing a lot of hacks again. carpet bombing, invisible guys bashing your head in, magically dropping/equipping gear out of nowhere.. it's all back

not a good dayz.. i only played for an hour and died 3 times :rolleyes:. and hacking seems to be back, even worse than before i joined the grumpy old gamers private server, i hadn't played on this one in a while and was a bit suprised when i spawned with decent gear, a cr rifle, longhorn, plenty of ammo and everything else i need to survive. not knowing my exact position i ran around for a bit and found a town, just as i enter it and i'm crouched behind a wall i see a player running right on the other side of it, he pops behind the corner, i aimed my gun at him.. but he had his gun on his back so i hold fire. i think desync screwed me over here because he shot me anyways.. 2 shots, gunsmoke appearing in front of the guy but no weapon in his hands.. i manage to fire off 1 shot but died immediatly after that. i spawn on the beach on a patch of rocks so the first thing i do is search for a stone and craft a knife, while i'm doing this i hear a shot.. there was a guy in a pink raincoat firing flares a few dozen meters away, he saw me and aimed his gun at me.. i put my hands up and start walking away and i lost sight of him. i was looking around with the alt key when suddenly the guy is standing right in front of me. then he just drops most of his gear.. i did not expect that.. he had a drybag full of ammo and a protector case. no food, no weapon.. just ammo. every single slot. i look up just in time to see the guy running off into the bushes. then all of the sudden my character started equipping a pink raincoat, backpack, mosin with LRS,.. and i wasn't the one doing it! f*ing hacker.. well, i know what's going to happen next and i don't want to give him the pleasure so i put the mosin to my head and pulled the trigger this time i respawn near elektro or cherno and i run straight for the buildings hoping to gear up fast. i found a rifle almost immediatly and i hadn't heard any signs of activity yet.. then someone fired a mosin very close to my position. i crouched inside a building and waited for a minute or 2 aaaaand.. then i get hit by an axe. no-one around, i'm alone in the room. i get hit a second time and die. i switched to a public server.. the character i have on public is pretty fresh, just an empty drybag and an sks with 7 rounds that i recuperated off my body after a run in with a KOS guy last time i played.. i just went looting for some food, got energized and hydrated and called it a day. after today i'm seriously considering just shooting anything that moves before it can hack or kill lol

he could have bounced the grenade off the wall. or maybe hacking.. seems like there have been a lot of reports popping up in the past few days about hacks involving explosions, mainly carpet bombing entire areas. i had the 'luck' to see this happen in game last saturday, raBit posted some impressive pics in this thread -> http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/222759-tatankos-spring-bbq-the-aftermath/

no point in staying on the coast on a populated server.. either you starve to death or you become target practice. you don't really need gear to get inland.. just start running. check whatever structures on your way for warm clothing or anything useful. sprint to stay warm until you find matches. take a few minutes to gather apples from an apple tree or berries from a bush and have a drink from a pond, just enough to get to the small towns a few kilometers from the coast.. there you should find enough stuff to get going, the further west you go the more likely you'll find an untouched place. even in already looted buildings there is always stuff that got left behind or was overlooked.. ammo is easy to miss, especially loose rounds and the white 7.62x51 ammo box is easily confused for a sewing kit. not many people take the time to check underneath beds and tables for example where loot also spawns. i never really needed medical supplies apart from rags or bandages (just tear up a shirt) as for weapons, if you want a military weapon you'll be hunting magazines, ammo and attachments for more than a few hours and you'll have to take big risks to search the hotspots that spawn them. but normal weapons are everywhere.. underneath those blue trailers, barns (especially in the more remote areas that no-one bothers visiting because there's nothing else of interest nearby). the small log cabin with yellow and blue paint almost always spawns a civ. weapon next to the bed. and again, don't rush through the rooms but look carefully for those 'hidden' ammo boxes and loose rounds. when i first started playing it also took me hours to get armed but once you know where to look you can get a loaded weapon within 30 minutes from spawning if luck is on your side. the most important thing to remember is that this game isn't really about machine gun firefights, but about the road towards the inevitable shootout and surviving. the shootout itself is just a way to start anew after reaching endgame (getting the gear you want).. dayz is a very time consuming survival game, not counter strike. 3 hours is nothing in dayz

nice! that explosion in the 7th pic from the bottom looks really great

1, a location with a clear view of the surroundings. it wasn't bad at first but all the chopped trees made very good hiding spots for whoever attacked us. they got very close to us before opening fire lol 2, fine for me 3, i liked how everyone was armed yet no-one shot eachother (in the first hour).. i'm suprised it lasted that long. that server is crazy.. so much killing.. while running back to the party after the incident i saw maybe 8 fresh spawns in under 5 minutes. got knocked out by a guy who wasn't wearing pants but a brave man with a broom saved me then we ate poison berries and another fresh spawn stole a bag of rice so we kill him then another guy runs up and starts punching. it never ends. i didn't make it back. i had a lot of fun tonight i'm looking forward to the next event

how? that's a lot of stuff to carry.. and the pumpkins.. they probably dumped it somewhere nearby

well, it was bound to happen sometime.. i couldn't make out who was who so i never fired a shot.. took shelter in the cabin and some guy with a pistol walked in killing me and another guy it was fun tho, good party while it lasted. i'm going back too

30 minutes i think
