you sum up the biggest disease of our society : I want everything immediatly ! learning to play an instrument takes hundreds, thousand hours, same goes for sports... but in the end, it's totally worth it. if you want to play dayZ, you have to accept that you will suck at this game for 100 hours or more, because this game is very demanding. it's not just a new FPS, it's a totally unique game. hitting a headshot in dayZ as mutch more meaning in this game than in CS or BF. you protect the gear you accumulated for sometimes 20+ hours and you take away everything this guy gathered in his plathrough, and i'm not even speaking of the adrenalin rush this game gives. most of the key controls are needed and i agree that they are not responsive at all. after more than 300h in dayz i still shout full of rage "putains de contrôles de merde" every hours when it takes 3 click to equip my weapon. desyncr are big issue too, melee hit detection is bullshit... but this game, with all these problems, is still one of the greates games i ever played. try this game for 10 hours, develop your plan to survive, discover new towns, buldings... get over exited the first time you find a fireaxe or a shotgun, panic during your first encourters, get lost in the woods... well, try the dayZ experience without being only focus on the controls. if this game is too demanding for you, then follow closely H1Z1, a more acrade approch of the zombie survival theme.

good to know that you can use machete to harvest sticks. most of the time, i play UK servers on 1st person (UK 0-12, 0-18, 0-20). must be true that there is more loot left on thoses servers, but finding food on the coast is still difficult. nothing to eat in kamyshovo, and i looted every room of every houses. i only found pipsi and spite cans in tulga and staroy, usually "hidden" cans glitching in the floor or above furnitures.

your vids are cool ! a lot of nice headshots ! it's not perfect through, most of your frags are done in the exact same spots and situations.

same for me last night. after being killed at pavlovo military base, i respawned near the island. i looted kamyshovo, tulga and staroy and barely found clothes and something like 3 sodas. i found 1 canned peach that i ruined with my ruined screwdriver (i didn't ksnow that ruined screwdrivers could destroy canned food...). so far, it's the first time i had to pick berrys to survive. after chemlights land, book and boots land, it seems that this xp is hammer land now as it is the only item i can find everywhere. that skickness was no big deal for my girlfriend too. she took some antobiotics for RP (i don't think they have a function right now). cold is certainly an issue if you don't have an axe and matches. if you don't have an axe, you can't make a fire and you are more likely to be hit by zombies, your clothes are more easily ruined and don't protect you from cold... . if it's not rainning, cold is not so problematic through. anyway, low loot on experimental server are fun time too.

i'll take a look a this when i get back home fellow frenchman !

Dat was a brilliant headshot ! RIP Rukkus

i confess that i LOVE sniping people in the tower of doom in novo. but it gets even worse as i server hop after a few kills because no one dare enter this tower after seeing 3-4 peoples gettin' sniped. by the way, i noticed that a lot of low geared players like to server hop this tower as well so... they diserved it ! in fact, the longrange is like red cryptonite for me. it makes me kill on sight just to see if i can guess distance correctly and hit a moving target far away. when i succed, most of the time i don't even bother to loot the corpse.

yes, of course i know the sick status after drinking disinfectant, rotten fruits or uncooked meat. in this special case, my girlfriend didn't eat/drink any of that (by the way, i didn't seen a rotten fruit since 0.49). that's why i was speculating about disease from cold or zombies hits. this is not mentionned in the new status report, so i guess it's a random bug.

they all end the same way : dirty grey/brown, damp and RUINED

when you run with ruined shoes while beeing healthy, you alternate constanly between healing and healthy. So you lose health a little bit slower than you regeneration rate. it's definitely a major issue if you do not regenerate your blood. running from kamyshovo to elktro with ruined shoes while beeing a freshspawn is not a good idea right now.

So nobody experienced the SICK status ? i hope it's not a bug... i thought it was the first iteration of the disease system.

but you have the mosin >:( ^^

I found about 50 7.62x51 rounds and about 120 .357 magnum rounds (i keept 90). i found a longrange and a compensator too, but no mosin :(

as some of you already mentionned, shoes degradation is totally crazy now, i've ruined at least 8 diffrent footwear (2 were pristine !!!). it's not really fun... but exp is exp, i'm sure next update, shoes will degrade significantly slower. one very interesting thing : my girlfriend played with me and was SICK after some zombies hits. i don't know if it's the zombies hits or the cold status, but it's new since she didn't eat anything uncooked or rotten. ps1 : i made a fire place with food, rags, a CR75 and a short letter in polana. does somebody found it ? ps2 : peoples are mad in elektro, 2 freshies tried to axe me there (that not a smart idea when your opponent has a loaded MP 133)

exp is udated today, stable is not sadly.

so far, last version of 0.50 is good and way better than 0.49 on many points. still, i encountered some issues : - some weapons duplicate (especially when found near a vehicle) - 20 rounds 5.56 box are visible ingame but invisible in inventory - weapons dropped on the ground disapear most of the time (thanks for the re-log tip) - when you wear gorka helmet with visor, balaclava is not displayed properly - magasines do not spawn in military tents anymore (well okay, makarov magazine still spawn in tents) - weapon that spawn on pick-up are usually inside the car texture and not visible without inventory displayed - clothes repaired does not show the new status until you put an object inside i'm not 100% sure, but it seems that AKM don't spawn anymore (or hoppers take them all) since i find 0 of them and never heard an AKM shot or see somebody carrying one. you can find an SKS near every light tank, is that intended ? magazines of commom weapons are really really difficult to find (other than makarov), i found 20 makarov mags for 1 mag of any other weapon. since you know you won't find a mag for CZ527, CR75, 1911, i don't even bother to carry them anymore. reload animations doesn't match with the ammo capacity of MP133 (animation show 4 cartridge reload but you can fire 6). same for the R92 (5 bullets reload animation but 11 bullets capacity).

last time i played 0.49 (last week), surviving was really really easy. stable suffer from the "chemlight everywere" syndrome we experienced in exp 0.50 last thursday ? if it's the case, try to go further inland, surviving from berry and apple. if nothing consumable spawn on the coast. freezing takes ages in this build, so don't rags your tee-shirt immediatly and it should be fine until you reach a town with loot. fighting with 1 or 2 zombies with your bare hands works great and you can still loose them in the forest easily if you manage to put bushes between you and them. PVE is becoming more and more spicy and it's not a bad thing for me. if you don't like it in 0.49, you will hate 0.50 update, sorry bro !

if i understant correctly, loot respawn works like this : each time you loot something, a new loot respawn in a 2km radius (or outside this 2km radius ?). you are more likely to loot usefull stuff such as food, clothes, weapons... so each time someone take something usefull, a new item spawn somewere else. if this new item is usefull, it's fine and it will be found and used by someone else. if it's a weapon cleaning kit or a book that replace the usefull loot, nobody is gonna take it and it will lay there forever. so useless loot replace usefull/consumed loot slowly and we get to the actual situation in 0.50 exp : 99% of spanner, pliers, books, weapon cleaning kits, chemlights, damaged hats and shoes on high traffic locations. i know nothing about programing and stuff, but maybe a max number can be set for every type of loot in the game. so with a max number of 250 chemlights for exemple, once the server reach this number of chemlights, chemlights can't spawn anymore. applied to all itemps and with some balance works, it should be viable. docwolf, you can try Pusta then Mogilevka, Vyshnoye, stary/novy sobor. but with the "respawn outside 2km radius thing", you should not find usefull stuff until Vyshnoye

Hello : simple and effective way to include jam into the game : - make weapons spawn at different state of wearness - worn and pristine weapons don't jam - damaged weapons have X% chances to jam - badly damaged weapons have XX% chances to jam every XX or XXX rounds, the weapon go from pristine to worn, worn to damaged etc... weapons cleaning kit can be used to regain the worn status. this mecanism is simple and easy to understand, takes in acount jam, weapon degradation and makes weapon cleanig kit a valuable item.

Great post ! during my firsts gunfights, i also had my hands shaking, it slowly go away with experience. for one friend of mine, it was even worse as his voice was clearly "shaking" too. but remember that the day you'll have a fully geared AKM, a smersh full of grenades and all other godies, your hands will still shake at the first bullet sound. I think the most important part for your skill progression in this game is the 1-2 minutes of black screen between your death and your respawn. It's the perfect time to analyse what mistake you made and what good move your opponent made. your progression should be like this : first encounters : you panic, you not even try to answer the shots, just flee randomly (whyle prone of course :D ) with more encounters : you still panic, but you try to answer with your weapon (usually without aiming and firing all you have within 2 seconds). with more encounters : heart beat acceleration but no panic, you aim at your taget. you still take too much time to reload/bandage and your moves are not alway strategic with more encounters : adrenalin boost, 100% focus. you take your time for the first shot and you aim for the head. at this stage you should be able to move quickly to flank your opponent if you are in a bad position keep in mind that you will learn and progress more in 1h of PVP in berezino on a full server than in 20 hours of hiking and looting an empty server.

almost all AUGs used in the world are chambered in 5.56. 9mm version indeed exist, but is barely used. ok with you for the barrels through ;)

please stop hopping, that make me run for a long time and take risks for no rewards :( ps : looting military spots is not that dangerous, i died maybe 3-4 times there in 300h and i was actively looking for troubles. in fact, looting the NWAF is even easier in full servers because hopper loot low pop servers and cowards are too afraid to go there if the server is full. in low/medium pop servers, you have greater chances to see someone in the military bases. in unlooted military tents area, you should find at least 100 of 7.62*39 ammo in this built. 20-40 if someone scared already looted the place. military prisons usually drop 0-40 7.62*39 ammo if unlooted, same for barracks.

it depend on were you take your temperature :P . having 36° while randomly poking your arm with thermometer seem to be quite hot in fact :D . if you take your temperature under your arm or in your mouth, you should get something like 36°C, if you put it well... in another place, you should be around 37°C. so if you go for the mouth, be sure to have a pristine one :rolleyes:

I think we can expect the V3S pretty soon. let me guess, in exp by the end of november and in stable for chistmas. the beta stage is harder to guess, but september seem to be not too optimistic nor pessimistic. anyway, vehicles can be a nice add to the game, but it's definitely not the first thing i want in the game. i prefer : - disease from cold, infected wounds, untreated water - balanced and working loot respawn - working and reliable persistance - energy consumtion/ food availability balance ( the hard survivalist way of course) - high population servers (50 is good, 100 would be GREAT !!!) - crafting traps/bombs/food/gear then i might look for vehicles big changes in the game theses days, DayZ is more and more interesting to me. keep on the good work devs !

not sure about rabbit snare ability to catch players or zombies (sorry, infected peoples ;) ), but traps designed to catch/kill players rambo style will sure make teir way into the game.
