Don't know if it'll help, or if it's still accurate with the changes in the weight system, but here's wobo's video on running/speed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVrlySaqG5U

I can see you've come to your own conclusions, and though I don't see how "not caring enough" is somehow the reason 1PP servers are empty, since they do care enough to intentionally choose 3PP, we're all entitled to our opinions. I'd still like to add a few more general questions to the thread that I think relate to this discussion, all answers appreciated :) 1) As stated I play 1PP on 1PP servers and 3PP on 3PP servers, so I have no complaints. Why play 1PP on 3PP servers when there's plenty of 1PP servers available? It seems the only reason to play them is to force oneself into an intentional disadvantage (which is totally avoidable by playing 1PP servers) and then complaining that the self-imposed "disadvantage" is an exploit. And since nobody is forcing anyone to play 1PP on 3PP servers - is it really a disadvantage if you are willingly choosing it? 2) Do 3PP players have legitimate concerns and complaints about 1PP mode? Midget mode/height issues and head bob for instance, or do 1PP players generally dismiss these concerns as: not needing to be fixed/have been fixed/are not important to increasing 1PP popularity/1PP doesn't need any fixing whatsoever? and 3) Not that this will happen anytime soon (or possibly ever?) but others have suggested the desire to remove 3PP completely, if so would 3PP players migrate to 1PP? Or will they just leave altogether? And if they do leave altogether - would it matter to the remaining player base (or to the devs)? Personally, I would stay because I like 1PP too, but I'm not sure I'm in the majority on this one. didn't expect wall of text but I'm very interested in this development subject, all answers appreciated

Way to insult an entire player base! When I play 1PP I choose it intentionally. When I play 3PP I choose it intentionally. I play 1PP on 1PP servers and 3PP on 3PP servers, so there's no disadvantage that I can complain about. Most people play 3PP for the very reasons that they clearly state, and have stated many times over - in this thread and in many other threads. They aren't stuck in front of their monitors thinking "oh god I clicked 3PP by accident. oh well I guess I am here forever" Why you need to fabricate reasons for why other people prefer 3PP is kind of a mystery.

This is what I don't understand. Why are you going on 3PP servers at all when there 1PP servers all over the place? I truly don't understand this.

I just tried changing my aspect ratio but I don't notice any difference, though I'm unsure if aspect ratio is strictly UI or if it applies to game viewing as well. And for what it's worth, switching regularly between 1PP and 3PP servers may account for some exaggeration. It feels completely different, as everyone knows and the core of what all of this fuss is about.

I'm sure we can all have a constructive thread about why 1PP servers are empty lately without the need to immediately descend into that tired old "elitist vs casual" or "You don't like what I like" thread, no? Note to self: insert inflammatory transparent justification for my own personal preferences [here]

I regularly play both 3PP and 1PP and I like them both for different reasons, though I think they both have pros and cons. Even though on 3PP you have an 8 foot peeking periscope to view the world through, everyone else on your server is playing under the same ruleset. Players are fully aware that others can see you from an advantageous perspective, just as you can see them. For that reason I don't see 3PP as an exploit or an 'unfair' advantage. Also, I don't think that when people say "I like to look at my character" that they necessarily mean "I like to narcissistically admire myself in all of my cool gear!". As for myself, I do like to see my character in relation to his immediate environment, ie: "Where am I exactly in relation to this car, tree or zed?" 1PP feels more immersive and real in most ways but my character feels like he's 3 feet tall, or that his eyeballs are in his belly button. My biggest gripe is that when running through an open field I can barely see over the grass, even though the grass is only 2 feet tall. The head bob doesn't bother me but I do frequently adjust my FOV slider in 1PP, where in 3PP I don't touch it at all. IMO, limiting the 3PP view as is sometimes suggested would just unnecessarily drive satisfied players away, but if they adjusted the 1PP perspective from belly-button-window to something realistically taller I believe that many 3PP players would switch over permanently. Just my 2c.

The files are in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\_CommonRedist\vcredist\2013\ vcredist_x64.exe & vcredist_x86.exe Run them both and then give it a try, I believe it restores permissions to a borked .dll

Seeing what changes are made and what improves (and what gets botched) in the dev process, I especially enjoy if it becomes a real grind to survive. Also, as a mainly PVE/defensive shooter type of player I've slowly learned to really enjoy the KOS'ers on servers. I've been popped enough times to know that he's always lurking, every moment, and you always feel like someone has a scope on you. We love to hate him but that distrust of ever other player on the server makes the game far more dangerous and thus more rewarding to simply survive.

I've tried. I've geared up with nothing but a compass, binoculars, pumpkin seeds and PET bottles, a shovel on my back. A one-way suicide run north off the map for hours per day, I was hoping to find an easter egg oasis somewhere out there but had no luck. What I did find was boredom, lots of it. It's a good thing there wasnt a suicide option back then, I may have tried it.. Then when I found my first V3S I thought I would try it again, I may have been the first bonehead to drive immediately to the maps edge and fall through the floor. :P

2015 Q2 Advanced animals (life cycle, group behavior) 2015 Q3 Animal predators and birds I'd like to see some bears, wolf packs, snakes and bees, so even the deep woods have their dangers. And maybe I'm just dreaming here but there being way to raise a wolf pup or feed one until it becomes a companion animal would also be great. Maybe it would alert you to other natural dangers and carry a thing or two with a craftable wolf vest - or have some other minor advantage making it worthwhile of your risk, effort and time.

It's absolutely game-breaking that twinkies are not in the game yet.

Hello cannibal, you seem to be missing a cookpot. Add your cookpot to the fireplace (but not into the fire/fuel slots, as it will get burnt). Then add your steaks to the cookpot. Cook and enjoy your longpig.

Beautiful screenshots, I did notice some additions to the south side of Tisy also edit: oh and pond with a pier by the western Sinistok homestead too

That explains the whole lot! :beans:

I've been using trucks a lot more lately, trucks make it much to easier to keep a camp in a distant/remote location. I've noticed a lot of these things too, just to add a few other things I've noticed: The civilian model (the truck with the rack bed) seems a little safer when dealing with zombies. They will frequently ignore your character and go right into the bed of the truck, then you can step out of the truck and calmly headshot them without risk, they won't attack. With the standard model v3s (chassis model) they will wait at the door of the truck for you to exit, there's a slight delay after "get out" where you can be vulnerable to attack. Also, the chassis model seems to get zombies stuck in the chassis if you run them over, making quite a racket, but less so with the rack body. For what it's worth, if I'm driving around a chassis model and see a truck with a bed, I'll do a switch. I've also got a few questions about the v3s: 1) The tank seems perpetually full and I've done about 4 runs from the northern border to the southern coast with the same truck, as well a lot of local runabout, has anyone else had the same "problem"? 2) Is there a way to check the condition of the truck? Aside from being a little beat up looking I can't tell if hitting the next zombie is going to make the wheels fly off. edit: question 3 3) While heli hunting last patch, I got a truck stuck on a rock wall. I couldn't get it unstuck, so after about 10 minutes of futile bucking around I just gave up and ran off. The next day I went by and it was alongside the rock wall but unstuck. I can't imagine that someone else got it unstuck and just left it there ... so, does a server restart move the truck a bit if it's stuck?

I do believe you have Cholera (probably drank water from a pond), find some Tetracycline Antibiotics.

I've found exactly two, identical pristine/black hi caps. At the same time, right next to each other in the northern/kamensk military base barracks. Haven't seen one before or since in .55.

oh look a metagaming thread!

Same for me, my tents haven't been found (or at least haven't been looted) all patch

Sure there could be a wipe when .56 comes, or any Wednesday. But what are you going to do, hold it in your hands until .56? Best just to pitch the tent and use it until you lose it. Also debug plains are still out there West and North.

One thing I would like to see is denser woods, not revamping the whole map of course. Just more patches of evergreens and thick brush scattered throughout the map, away from roads and *flat* so you can pitch a few tents and hide a truck.

Has that been implemented yet?

I just checked, my tents and contents are still there today, everything seems untouched and I haven't noticed anything particularly odd the last few days. I'm playing on a gameservers 3pp public btw

Scarce loot. I'd like the game to be harder again, being on the brink of starvation was refreshing. Also, bears. Hungry, angry, territorial bears.
