Me neither, but out of curiousity, how does that make any sense? AFAIK the AK family hardly needs any maintenance ? Wouldnt AK perform better if I had neglect them equaly?

Dont give up, it really gets easier. You will be able to read these "signs" much faster after a few more #rekt incidents. I usualy avoid intercations near mil. objects alltogether. And it's not because i wouldnt want any interaction, trade or what not, but like you said, some people will go into a fight even if they cant gain anything from it. If you want interaction without getting screwed over and over you need to corner him, so he has no chance but to either comply or enjoy the beach trip. Nothing beats a forced friendship! Also, dont ever trust groups. Groups are the worse. There's always, always that asshole who will try to kill you, altho the rest of the group might like you. I've seen this way too many times. IF you cant get a shot on both, dont go. You need to control the situation all the way else they will use the opportunity. Obviously there are exeptions. So far i met around two friendly groups out of 20+. This experience will vary from player to player. Only thing I would do different when meeting these two guys is imo, having your shogun in my hands. Remember, you cant trust anyone but yourself. You should run in his animation-eating face with your shotgun up and introduce yourself aiming at his face and try to calm situation down. The second his buddy came and draw out his mosin you should pump them open. There is no middle field. It's either them or you. There's a fine line and th second they cross it you need to take actions. I think that's the most exciting part of it, really. Chopper site is a really bad spot. Always try to have at least a big wall or a bush that you can hide or run to, use for cover or surprise flanking. Beside your wrong judgment of not opening fire, location was imo really bad to control the situation vs 2 players. Dont go all KOS, you will lose out ona a huge fun part of the game if you dont try to interact. You will lose your gear anyway and youll have no awesome stories to tell. And like others said, try private shards.

I love joining these "dont join" servers. How can one resist? Got kicked? Change your nickname to ServerReported and rejoin.

My condolences :) This got me thinking, once we get advanced weather, I really hope for things like draft being able to shut the door behind you. Is this purely because of the latest zombie patch & related issues or is it just a long before planned hardware that finally arrived; If that's the case, i take it you will be able to set up more servers and gather up more data? I understand this patch is all about the Z, but since you mentioned it, Im wondering, if(or when in development) we can expect another pop. limit per server increase? I remember there was a couple of 100pop servers a few months ago(sMoss' maybe?), where you quite successfully gathered some data and even sent some scripters to deserved vacations.

Put your weapon on your back. Step on the side of the road and press f7. Unless im full, i will pick you up.

Sometimes the zeds behavior is awesome. Sometimes, if you time it wrong, the zombie will side step your attack and continue dodging :D I have to say i was like "high five!" to the zombie chick, but then i remember she's dead.,, I got so lucky finding Chapaevsk full of swords & Tuna fish :) I never held the sword, so i couldnt ask for more :D Such an awesome mount&blade/chivalry feeling :D Cant wait for some sorth of "medieval" whitelisted shard with bows and swords. Thanks Eugene, for taking your time. It's always interesting to read about development and the game itself from you guys.

Kind of like this, only more to your left ? If you didn't check the cell properly, you might have missed a guy there; People often crounch there and peek outside the prison, especialy when they're in groups. I prefer to camp the corner right next to the staircase when my buddy does the looting. I do kinda doubt that you would fail to spot him.

:) Very often, very hot spot. Veresnik mil base is just next to NWEAF, a lil south from vybor & right next to a sniping hill so it's a popular survivors destination. It's probably the next waypoint for many peoplethat hit green mountain&zeleno. I probably had more encounters @Veresnik than NWEAF due to its small size. It's not that uncommon to come across a loot someone dropped. I've been there; dropping ak&its mags for another assault rifle.I do throw them in bushes tho, but many dont.If the stuff you've seen was ruined you've probably found remains of someone who died not long ago (unless its presistant it happen this restart) As for your death, did you hear where the shots were comming from? Could there be two? In what direction were you facing at the time when you got shot. It sounds like one of the glitches low lifes abuse untill they fix it. You can glitch yourself in the prison building wall and shoot from there without being seen. Did you close the prison door behind you? Anyway, it would be nice to hear some more details before we jump to conclusions :) About the sprinting sound i have no idea, but my wild guess would be around 20-49m (voip is set to 50m i believe?), just enough to hear anyone sprinting around the building you're in. Be advised audio is not reworked yet, there is still allot of sound bugs.

I can only guess, but finding M68 optics and a PU scope where the food used to spawn, made me think so. Same for tents, I found them almost everywhere where used to be clothes. Edit: nope Loving the knockback animation, makes it very easy to control the fight once you knock it once. Unconcious time seems to be shortened & the zombies tend to knock you out faster. Or maybe that was just desync at work, need a few more punches :) One of the zombies died after 1st knockout with fists,. Afaik this was harder in 0.54 but again, need to punch a few more.

just came back from a few short sessions. Zombies are awesome, sure theres some desync and unwanted things going on, but this will def. be a nice improvment compared to the old ones! :) I only wish they could perform the attack faster; you can still easily "sidestep" them all. Apart from that i found two military tens in 1st minute of Cherno square, as before mentioned phantom doors, and tons of high end mil attachments just laying around the normal houses. Oh and tons of friendly exp. people. I missed that ^_^ Now time for some "will it burn or blow" tests :D

My bad, I should've read the tweet more carefully :) I'll be waitin'

Just updated to experimental and got "bad version" why do i always have the worse possible timing fml I take it i have to roll back to stable and update back to exp, and hope there wont be another update in meantime? FU hype, i just wanna get rekt by zombies a few times.

For some reason i love reading the newcommers adventures. Altho its always pretty much the same story, the actors different :D I recommend you not to walk on firestation&ATC roofs once you're geared (desync can break your legs) . If you're entering military objects on your own, spend a couple of minutes monitoring the area. Remember, you're allot harder to spot if you dont move. You will "sunk" back into the bakground. It's the movement you are looking for. Always plan your route in advance. Always assume you will have to run. When dealing with zombs, kill them fast, quiet and out of anyones sight. Dont ever eat or drink (my friend does it all the time and i swear to god one day i will shoot him, pretending its not me, just to teach him a lesson lol) Dont read AK101 inscriptions in the middle of NWEAF (yup, my friend...I really need to shoot him lol) Move fast, pick what you came for & leave. If you think you heard something, you probably did. If you think someone probably heard you, he did. If you think you are being followed, you are. If you think im trying to make you paranoid, you are right, but its for your own good :P

Sorry, this is just not true. Dont we all roll with w/p items? I have several characters pimped up with stuff that I obtained in over 100hrs of surviving and searching heli crashes. Only once i made a mistake of dying in a noob zone (elektro) just so i got to hear some squeeking "OMG guys a dupper, i killed a cheater *gasps* " accusations. Gotta say, that accusation pissed me allot more than it should. Im not saying there is no duppers- unfortuantely there is tons of, but some of us actualy earned our gear fair. You can often see by players inventory he actualy "cared" about his loot. I find most of the duppers lack something. they will either wear a normal jacket, normal jeans and a mountain backpack so full of ammo you will drop/lose a mag everytime youll want to reload. This is a typical dupper. Their inventory makes no sense. Its never practical, cause they cant bother with free stuff. Do you think any of the normal players would risk losing a mag they were searching for hrs (sometimes) and overkill themselves with so much ammo they would drop bandages for it? Justa saying, tottaly decked out player shouldnt always be consider a dupper on the spot (altho he probably is) If you're sick of beach clusterf**** and you go inland, its only the matter of time when will you get completey decked out.

IF you're getting 7 fps now, dont hope the new renderer will make it any better. I mean, it will, but dont expect it to make such a huge impact all the fps problems will be gone. I get to play with higher fps on 1,7 ghz so be sure to google all about launch parameters and .cfg edits to improve your games performance. There is thousands of tutorials on this subject.

god dammit i need to work on not getting hyped every update im so hyped every update grrrrr

We made a little sound show with a friend o mine, firing ak74&AKM in the air, followed by AKSU&MP5, followed by cr75 and 4 grenades. Pretty sure whoever was on the island took a break after he heard us lol. Anyway... i threw 4 nades and couldnt destroy the prison wall. I saw videos so im sure i was throwing it at the right wall, was this fixed?

Because you got there first. There is no extra buildings. He is right; Server names such as 1000% loot are BS. I think there's already way too much loot esp food and firearms. at the same time i wish i found a pen/note/book in every school backpack. Some loot has weird spawnpoints. Also, i really think I should have a 100% chance of finding rocks, sticks, apples, feathers...everything im looking at and its already there.

My first death was in first half a minute of dayz. I spawned on electro docks and got axed by a player before i could even move. MY first kill was with a mosin in berezino wooden clinic. It was in a self defense. Got shot 2 seconds later by his friend aiming down the hall "Second" character died in pavlovo at 130hrs.

You shouldnt have a problem finding another raincoat, and just in case you dont know, gorka jacket is waterproof aswell. My thoughts exactly :D

you dont need to keep your matches in yellow protectors case. You cant soak/ruin them. Dont get attached to your gear, you will lose it. Only factor you can somewhat influence is how long will you keep it. I suggest you go and hit a few zombies as a newspawn. Just memmorise the timing of their attack animations and when to dodge it. After the dodge you can punch them unconcious and repeat. It's ridicilously easy, all you need is some practice. If you have a low blood eat untill you get healing status. You usualy get it after you hit bright green hydrated and energized.

Well.. as it is right now, i wish the notes stayed on persistant:ON servers. I was playing a bit on some pretty lonely pers server and i left around 6 notes all over prison island. I then logged out and relogged about an hour later (after the restart) None of the notes stayed, wtf :( I super highly doubt it someone found all six.. and picked them all up on a 2-4/50 pop server. I always thought the notes stay untill wednesday restart. I want teddys with notes removed, waste of "read" action. Another thing is, that's how i carry my personal note on me if i die. I wonder if anyone even bothers clicking "read" knowing these spawn with notes inside.

Sorry mother russia. Please dont into offend.

Ridicilous, i know I wouldnt do it tho, it should be fixed soon and you might end up loosing things I still find it funny. This would be like porn for my hoarding friend. Good thing i havent told him :D

cause med kit takes up 4 slots.. i dont overkill myself with 4x6rags or more likely 6x6 rags in the medkit.. I'm not a field medic lol :D. I used seline bag twice in 600hr hrs (it was never a must). Epi pen once (he died anyway). And alcohol tintcture (tasted delicious). Everything but the bandages is pretty much waste of space for me. If the firestation decides to break my legs (it does.. it always bloody does) with my only rags inside my now ruined pants... QQ Same. Zombies afaik go for jackets and vest but they are easy to kill. I keep another pair in case i get shot and get a ruined vest/jacket.
