Zboub le météor

well, i harvest agaricus campestris (rosés des prés) since i'm old enought to walk, it's my favorite shroom. i was told by my grand-ma to not eat those that turn yellow, in fact i found very few of those, and they smell different and i heard many times that you can recognize immedialty them when they are cooked because they taste awfull (one bite will not make you sick). i harvest shrooms for about 20 years and i still not have been sick once with those. Cantherellus cibarius (girolles) and Hydnum repandum (pied de mouton) are my other usual targets, only the first can be mistaken with a toxic one (for very untrained eyes). i definitely woul not recommand to harvest shrooms with the only experience of things red in books, but if you harvest them for years, you can easily pick the good ones 99.9% of the time, and the 0.1% left, you'll know you've made a mistake on the first bite, which is without consequences.

not fan of the peeking in 3PP server too, you can find 50/50 servers in 1PP but mainly in private shards (nobody likes hopping either). sadly they have been deserted recently because the CLE is not good enought for the moment. no way you can find a VSS or UMP on either 3PP exp or 1PP exp, almost all crashes spawn at the NWAF and everything has bee taken away ages ago. SVD can still be found on humvee wreck with luck, i currently have one. but no way i can find a mag for it... 1PP private servers will fill up again when CLE is improved.

nice addition to the game. not the best survival food as mentionned before, but it's still something. many consumables mushrooms are easy to recognize, it's almost impossible to make a mistake. some very poisonous ones are quite iconic too due to the fact that they killed famous people in the history (amanita phalloïdes) and could be used to poison canned food effectively (who would use dysinfectant to poison food in real life ?). milk powder + water + flour + Agaricus campestris + rice = bon appétit !

it could have ended better for you, your opponent placement and constant chasing was incredibly bad and stupid ! your were extremely lucky on that first spray to hit a headshot on the guy running in the piano house. firing without aiming makes encouter result random, the luckiest wins. the second encouter was nice good placement and good aiming, too bad the bullets were eaten by the wall, you should have totally killed him at that moment. i laught at the guy climbing the ladder, just to find himself unarmed in front of you falling to death after the first shots. the next kill was good but you runned into the last guy spraying everywhere, this time, the luck was on his side. you should have played more carfully in the end. well it's alway easy to criticise when you're not in the heat of the action, very informative video wwith both good acion and bad ones (which are the most instructive).

nice little vid ! that AK bayonet makes you killed !

when the SA came out, there was two options : - mimic the mod with better graphics and less bugs (that was the first idea i think) - make a whole new game, with other mechanism, more content, more possibilities, new engine they first started with the first option, and if i remember correctly, the goal was to reach 300 000 sales. they sold at least 10x more than their original goal a few month later, making possible the N°2 option. they put their ball on the table (poetic indeed) and choosed to be bold and try to take this project to another level. so here we are, they added a big amount of content, new mechanism and it is still a long way to go. in the following month, they will add new tech, animations etc... things will break, and break hard, this is a statement from brian hicks (biran for those wo read status reports :D ). player base will continue to ocillate, i don't care, i hope they don't care either, i want the best game possible in that time frame. optimisation will come last eventually, new tech will make possible optimisations, the game edges will be smoothed, polished and we should see an increase in FPS, less desynch (i'm not sure they can really get rid of it), less bugs... and everybody will be happy, mod will come out... base buildings, elektro mayhem cs:go style, ultra hardcore with no canned food and freezing blizzard... whe just have to wait a year or two, and take a break when we are bored or pissed of by bugs/crashes/cheats/exploits. bye

i can already see myself crafting 300 AAC blackout cartridges for my modified m4 mixing 5.56 cases with 7.62 bullets, with a michael jackson sond playing on my radio in the background, while my bell peppers are growing to go with my deer steack :D . i still probably end up being killed by a bambi (i killed his mother, that fine) wearing a pink dress and balaclava, dual weilding broomsticks.

well, for now we have only untouched almost original versions of the weapons. big mod on weapon like the mosin nagant and the STV are not that rare and to be honest, the SVT with the modified wood parts with the PSO look GORGEOUS. basic modification will be in, such as crafting rail adapters or nailing scopes on some weapons, but i don't see heavy modifications like thoses above being possible, so why not :)

those are heavily modified SVT-40. why not one of those models over an original one ?

:o :o :o :o :o "add black spray-paint"

in 0.55 server with high pop and low loot, the easiest way to be healthy is farming pumpkins. 2 pumpinks per seeds, and one pumpkin is a HUGE ammount of food !

i love weapons and that baby looks great ! it makes sense to have a few of those in the game. my concern is that with the current damage/caliber system, powerfull rounds are favorited over small rounds. since you regenerate your health very quicly and have no side effect other than blood/health damage, been shot ONCE by a 5.56 is a lot preferable than being shot once by a 7.62*54 (drop dead). in real life, being shot by a "medium sized" round like the 5.56 nato means your in a very bad situation and pretty much dead or heavily wounded without a proper surgeon. it's not THAT much better than being shot by a larger caliber round, that's one of the reason that made most modern army to adopt smaller calibers. so weapons like the SVT 40 or FN FAL can easily break balance in the game. you'll see people trowing away modern light weight weapons to take a 70yo rifle that weight like a dead horse and fire ridiculously large ammunition just because dropping someone with one shot is the biggest advantage a weapon can have in this game, evenmore if that weapon can fire quickly. i really hope the weight system and the long term injury system will make smaller rounds more viable.

they are not the most common infected, but you can still see them from time to time. i remember at least 2 encounters with them, one in the farm, south-west of pustoshka (i've been attacked by both the farmer and the grandpa infected at the same time) and south of the windy mountain.

you mean the farmer zombie ? he's in since 0.54 or 0.55.

it's a fresh hired person who's job is to torture us with future awsome features while we wait for 0.56 :)

nice server, played on it yesterday, geared myself pretty good, met a player, spared his life and gave him my good old mp-133. the server was 40/40 but performances were quite good. 40 player seems to be the better choice since 50 player servers have hard time handling the player charge.

this !

taking what you needed was not enough, you had to burn every single piece of it to ashes...

same on my ultra populated server, invisible fruits is my main source of food since they are the only one missed by other players. for those who miss that rare loot experience, stop playing on empty server and join full private ones (those which are full every night and 30/50 at 10am). the feeling is still there. i left myshkino yesterday and found : 1 canned peach left behind a wrecked truck, a makarov magazine i found with tab only (never seen it on the ground) and a makarov and it felt like chrismass. found 3 pumpkin seed an hour later, again, it's chrismass since it will keep me from starving for hours !!! on this server, my character had the dark red starving icon twice and i spend most of my time with the orange one. i carry an SKS for 7-8 hours but still have no ammo for it. so when i see those people telling the loot is everywhere and the game is too easy with their brand new akm with PSO and drum mags, i just laugh my ass off but i undersertand their boredom (which they are responsible of). you just can't join an almost empty server to farm loot and then say there is too mutch loot. you are using underexploited servers, which is almost like using a glitch for me and i don't even speak of hopping.

desync will probably always be a problem, but improvements will sure be made. this particular 0.55 built did poorly regarding desynch, some earlier patch were better. future builts might be better, some might be worse... for 1.0 i expect little desynch on full 100 players servers, i don't think they can get rid of it.

just started to play on the UKA 1pp, not much people right now

cool video ! nice "friendly" try every time i run into a goup of survivor, it turn like this. most of the players are cool, but there is awlay one dickhead that start shooting and it turn into a bloodbath. nice swings ! the last guy was so bad and pathetic... he acted like a badass in the end, but you were almost dead and he runned away 90% of the time, doing nothing when you were slaughtering his friends.

i'll let you have your apache if i can repair the rify boat (with elements spread accros the map of course :) ), turn it into an aircraft carrier (no, you won't be allowed to park on my boat), nuke chernarus and sail to marquesas ilands for well deserved holidays.

well, even if zombies are more dangerous now, they still are more irritating than REALLY dangerous. i had that feeling of danger when i come across them in the first hours of 0.55, been killed once by them because i had no more rags, but... that it. now i find myself just lootting faster when they chase me, if they are more than 2, a 10 second run is more than enought to loose them (yes, i'm so hardcore...). they still hit like little girls, getting smacked 10 times hardly kills you, it might ruin some of your gear and break a bone, but that's it. with a decent melee weapon (pickaxe, sledgehammer, axes...) you can face then without any fear : if you suck, you'll be hit 4-5 times, bleed a little and maybe mess up your vest, but it's not even a life threat. if you packed some hours on the SA, you'll take them out without any scratch, again, they are not a threat. i' not complaining, HUGE improvements have been made and i really appreciate it plus they should not be an horrifiying threat right now, there are to much issues with desync, missing animations and such to make them more dangerous. but for 1.0, i expect deadly infected.

there is much more love on the mosin than hate. the mosin will continue to be a good weapon. it is a deadly combo with a PU scope right now so it should continue to be effective in the future. there have been some clue that tell us that the SVD will be included quite soon. not 100% sure, but i think i read something about it in the last Q/A. with the curent magnification of the PSO-1, it might not be that great for very long shots. but since that Q/A, Chris talked about the new optic for AK rifles and the use of PSO specialised for VSS and SVD. that may delay the SVD integration a little. SKS is overpowered since its day 1 implementation. the reloading animation should be replace with a bullet per bullet reload. is a fast, powerfull, accurate rifle that does not require a mag and most of the time my number 1 choice weapon with a PU scope. before the hunting scope there was not a single reason to pick a CR527 over a SKS.
