A fellow Texican, who'd have thunk it! I knew there was a reason why I liked you!!!

It's raining here, in the Republic of Texas, so I need some indoor activities to keep me entertained. I have a whole backpack full of apples, that I worked damn hard for and I intend to eat those bastards! The devs need to get their collective butts in gear and boot up some of those Exp servers!!!

No problem. I still don't have dick for gear, but I did manage to make it almost all of the way to Novy Sobor, before the servers went down. I'm still on a 100% apple diet, too. I can not friggin' believe that I have made it all of the way to the center of the map and so far, I have found one NotaCola and no other food items, whatsoever. The loot gods just aren't with me. Actually, it's worse than that. The loot gods are mocking and taunting me and it's going to get personal, if things don't change real soon!

None of the devs appear to be tweeting about it. With any luck, perhaps they can tone down the desynch at tad. I had some terrible shaking/stuttering desynch, just before they pulled the plug.

Since we're all busting balls, in the most friendly way possible of course, let us take your recommendation, but substitute the actual meaning of the contraction, you're. Or "Unhooked you are internet cable while in game." No, that doesn't sound quite right to me, so I have marked it in red. I think that we somehow need to indicate to whom the Internet cable belongs. As a matter of fact, on reflection, I think serelaw got it right on his first attempt. I sincerely hope that your English professors do not frequent this forum. Please forgive me, but when you started strutting around with your undergrad degree on your shoulder, I just could not help myself. Still friends? :)

The irony struck me tonight as I approached another small, nondescript town and I instinctively took to the nearby high ground. As I raised my trusty binoculars, it occurred to me that when I first began playing this game, my primary concern would have been to locate any other players. After 0.55 Exp was released, my primary concern was to locate any zeds that may be in the area. The only thing that I want to know tonight, is where in the f%*# are the apple trees!

:D I didnt break my legs thank the lord. and i can still get in and out of it. That's a neat trick! How did you manage to accomplish that?!?!? I was in Tisy a few weeks ago and all of the loot was floating 3m above ground. It wasn't a map-wide issue, it only affected Tisy. It was pretty creepy!

I think that I was on that server for a while. Central and Southcentral are my usual haunts. I was initially on a night-time server and I couldn't find anything at all on the coast. It was as if a giant vacuum cleaner had sucked everything up, off of the map. Then I hopped onto a second server (I think this was Southcentral 0-2) just before dawn. I hadn't seen daybreak in a while and it was glorious! I went to my first inland town and found some apples, lots of hats and some good melee weapons. Then there was a scheduled server restart and I hopped onto a third server. I don't remember which one. I had just arrived at another town and I was doing some reconnoitering from a nearby hill, when I noticed that it was 1 AM IRL. I won't log back in for another few hours, but Hopefully I'll find something in this town apart from hungry zeds. If I'm still alive after I go through this town, perhaps you'll rescue me tomorrow night? Cheers! and thanks for the generous offer!!!

I'm only a couple of towns inland and I recognize that my location is the problem. Believe me, I've looked for food in every out-house and under every bush. I've even been opening my inventory at all known spawn locations, in the hope that I might find some invisible food. I'm desperately trying to get further inland, but I need some food to fuel the journey. I didn't find a back pack until I approached my second inland town, so I was unable to stock up on apples. Not that I necessarily would have, as it took forever and a day to pick eighteen apples! I may be a wee bit frustrated at the moment, but I am not upset. I enjoy the struggle and having nothing to rely on, but my wits and my imagination. I'm not in the habit of killing myself until I get a favorable spawn. I play the cards that I am dealt and I believe that this has sharpened my survival skills. Besides, repeatedly killing myself until I got an inland spawn would probably take longer than picking a backpack full of apples.

It's in the forum, hidden under the deceptive heading of "Bug Reports." Here's the link" http://feedback.dayzgame.com

Agreed. Found lots of painkillers, but no purification tablets. Doing my best to stay away from ponds and streams for the time being. The one upside of a 100% apple diet is that you don't tend to get very thirsty.

Affirmative ... at least I think so. I had several ghost flashlights from pseudo-duping. I detached the battery from one flashlight, but who knows if it is a "real" battery, until I try to use it.

I'm really struggling to get this character established. I found plenty of melee weapons, but not a spec of food an no warm clothes. I'm sure that I heard a chicken, but I haven't seen any animals. I was "red starving" when I finally found a small orchard in someone's back yard and I ate eighteen apples. It seems like I walked only 100m towards the next town and I was starving again. Played cat and mouse with a zed, because my sledge hammer disappeared from my hot bar. Even though it was still on my back, it was totally inaccessible. I put on some hiking boots and all of a sudden that unfroze my sledge. Found a pair of binoculars and I'm desperately looking for apple trees. I'm shaking so bad, that I can barely see through them. This character is not going to make it. The only mystery is whether the cold, or starvation will claim me first.

I found one pair of shorts, shoes and assorted hats. I've found no other clothes beyond these.

Interesting. Based on that description, has anyone succeeded in mounting it on a crossbow?

Since you asked, unless I'm being chased by a zed, I walk everywhere.

I've read several reports of various headquarters/prison buildings being destroyed. It seems to me that this is a rather drastic solution, to address wall glitchers.

So let it be written. So let it be done.

Don't fret. It doesn't make you a bad person. We wouldn't be here, under foot, if someone would open a 0.56 Exp thread for us (hint, hint).

Twisting a few up, tonight? ;) Don't forget to turn the Lava Lamp on!

The times are few and far between when I don't feel this way. Then again, I expect that accounts for how I manage to stay alive for as long as I do.

A new area to explore! I also like the idea of dynamic random spawns. The old: go to house 1 and collect weapon B was too formulaic and pretty silly. There needs to be an element of randomness at play. Not completely random/chaos, mind, but just a touch to keep it interesting.

Yes, all of the above.

True dat!

Eugen is smart. He has obviously learned that if he is any more specific, he'll have a conga line of tweets complaining about how, "You promised a build and you didn't deliver and you're incompetent and I hate this game and it will never be finished and ..." In all honesty, I'm stunned that he shares as much as he does!
