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 !

just did the same to see if there was a loot problem in 3PP. i spawned in dubky and looted a little bit around this area but nothing interesting other than a fishing hook. runned to kozlovka at full sprint all the time, picking berries when needed. i ended in the military base of pavlovo after visiting all deer stands and mirradors in my way. here is my gear after a 2h session : not bad right ? most obvious places ant compact loot zone were empty or full of garbage, but almost all isolated area contained loot, and the village between kozlovka and pavlovo was yielding some decent loot. some deer stand have been ignored (free scopes !) and nobody seem to know that mirradors drop some nice gear (you can see on the background a bakpack, a trumpet and a winchester in one of them). so it's definitely playable (far more than just playable considering my experience), not much food but everything you need to farm or hunt if you visit isolated locations, and some very good weapons too !

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 !

there have been issues with somes servers (privates ones with high trafic and false item count on the map) and loot spawn at a time (was it .55 or .54 ?), where you could find nothing but pliers, books and chemlights on the first 3km inland. this is not the case in my experience in this built. loot can became scarce on the coast but you can still find decent gear and food (my girlfriend started 0.56 exp yesterday and was fully geared hitting gorka after a berezino spawn). and for the first time, loot seems to respawn effectivelly. so don't waste too mutch time on your spawn location on high traffics servers, maybe pick a few berries on the road and everything should be fine.

it happened to me many times.put it away and drag it back works well haven't seen one this night too...

found mine there too. but there was some stuff inside, so... who knows ? ps : i red that the hunting scope is now x12, but for me it's still the same than before the latest patch. is it like this for you to ?

yes, i would like to see more MP-133, CR-75 and such in police stations. for the moment, the MP5 vomit in police station doesn't bother me that much since i tend to loose all my secondary weapons :D (lost a fully decked MP5, a red 9, a derringer and a 1911).

indeed, 12 gauge seems to be mutch more rarer too, which is sad.

found multiple pile of loose ammo for the SVD, in boxes too, now i just have to live with the fact that i probably won't find the magazine. pretty accurate weapon, it one shoot everything loot seems to respawn a little bit better than earlier iterations, but it's still sloppy

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

is loot explosion an exploit ? from what i saw ingame, it is usually a place with HUGE amount of loot in piles. when people see that, they put thing into containers so they can search and eventually find interesting loot under the piles. i did that too myself, it does not make item respawn more than it would have (or at least i never withnessed it), it allow you to see what is under the piles. does it make things worse ? when loot xplosions happen, server usually crash often. is it because of loot explosion or people puting stuff inside stuff to have a clear view of what is on the floor ? ps : nice post #666 barnabus, loot explosion is evil ! iif you want a plate carrier, take a look at the prison island, it's filled with TTSKO gear and plate/UK vest. the holster is a bitch to find sadly, i found one before the exp wipe, it was in a "medium" (according to dayz map), you know, the sheds that comes often by two where you can find hard hats, sledgehammer and soda.

seems that items respawn, but way slower than items are picked up. i made a little trip to the prison island and it look like devs have created a canyon in front of the island, i don't think it was there before. it almost cercle all the island, making submarine truck ride unhelpfull. sadly crossing that canyon is very difficult, i found myself stuck many times while trying to cross it by regular swimming. i messed up a little with the barrel (which contained all my food, matches, can opener in the pouches), a finally lost it... and after a 10 minutes search and a restart of the server, found it back (gods of dayz are with me !)

still no exp servers, it might last a few hours. time to kill my characters on stable branch !

almost all geared person i saw where handeling MP5K with ACOG on it. i still not found a single smersh vest sadly, highcap vest do the trick though.

i found a lot of burlap and rope at the same place too, i think it's intentionnal ! i found my first barrel by mistake looting a police car. it was invisible and is still invisible in my inventory. it's like an endless bag, you can store a lot of things inside and it only ttakes 4 slots.

i can imagine dev reading your posts and thinking : " i hate this guy" :D animals are in, i heard at least 3 chikens around the vybor military base, and i saw a deer too.

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.

looks like they put FMJ bullets on JHP boxes, no wonder why they became infected with such disregard for their ammunitions :D

has anyone found shotgun slugs ? it's on dayz TV but i think it can be a fake. i'd be surprise if devs already manage to make a single firearm shooting different projectiles. if it's true, we might see grenade launcher attachement (and i hope for hollow point 9mm too).

noooo, i'm not that mad, i killed him for his gloves :D

there are sewig kits, i found one on a corpse, but i didn't found one by myself and i played at least 6 hours.

i think the SVD can be found in ohter places than crashes. it's still very usable without a magazine as the weapon can be chambered and ammo are plenty. but since there is no video/picture of people using an UMP45 or a VSS, i guess that helicopter respawn work like in 0.55. (but who need a UMP and SVD when you can have a winchester and a MP5 easily :D )

it runned very smoothly this night. i quit on european servers (well the only 3 i saw : UK 0-5, DE 0-2, DE 0-1), all 50/50 crashing every 5 minutes (both my game and the server, alternately). i logged on the US 0-5 northeast server (160 ping for me) with 10-20 players on it and it was smooth as silk. no desyncr problem with the players i saw, no inventory bug, and i used my inventory A LOT (putting things on the floor to rearrange my stuff, switching backpacks...). 50 players is way too mutch regarding server performance, but i thing it's the point : i saw server with a huge amount of Z, server with a lot of loot, server with no Z, little loot spawn points... they are testing stuff and i hope they get god data from our suffering :D .
