Yeah as soon as I saw it I thought "devs you rock". I love little stuff like that

Yeah I can't wait for this to be moved to stable as long as the crashes are gone. I was just kidding, perfectly understandable to suggest the impro knife if I didn't know about the ashwood-knife thing. Also, anyone else get one of the compasses added in .54/.55 (idr) from eating a whole cereal? Got one in my play through before being hunted like an animal. I took a screen of the notification but whenever I quit stable I get an error instead of my steam screen upload window.

I've tried using the snare 3 times, every time a server crash would wipe it =[. Found 3 of the hunting scope so far in .56, the only places I have seen them are not in the deer stands but in the smaller deer "huts" that have a ramp going into them. Although, they probably do spawn in the stands as well considering that I have seen literally every optic for the m4/mp5 and crossbow in them except the hunting scope but it was probably just looted. Make sure to look soon after a pers wipe and at the edges of the map. hope you find one! Lol don't patronize me about the impro knife.. lol jk. But damn I didn't know that about the ashwood sticks and knife.... And everyone knows the only reason we can kill the cows with melee is because some of them desync or glitch so they just stand still :P . And if they can fix the crashes then I might try rabbit snares again, they go poof for me whenever there is a server crash on exp which are quite frequent and unpredictable

Oh right on, what do you think is the average time it takes per cast to get a bite? Yeah I know and that's part of the reason I love this game. That post was immediately after my death (still had some tachycardia and shakes while writing it lol) so I was pretty frustrated. But I still stand by my points. Maybe if we could craft wooden hooks? Break off ashwood branches from the bush variants with our hands? Use vines or isolated threads from shirts/jackets to use as a fishing line? Use netting for fishing? Maybe some easier ways to hunt (spears comes to mind) if they can get enough wildlife in the game for it to be viable. I would much prefer berries and apples to be supplementary to hunting and fishing, rather than a staple until at least an hour into a characters life (Unless you start playing within a few hours of a pers. wipe). Edit. The problem with bone hooks and guts (in place of rope) is that it means we have already found food. I mean hell just look at the total amount of things needed for fishing, a shovel for worms, an axe for an ashwood stick, a fishing hook or bones to make one (further requiring a knife), and rope or guts (which would also require a knife). By the time I have found all of these things I'm already geared, green, and have plenty of food. It's just not accessible to the players who actually need to use these methods. TLDR Hunting, fishing and gathering need to be simplified and made more accessible early on

Welp, just died to two players chasing me out of Pushtoshka, no words just shots :( . The chase lasted about 10 minutes, maybe more. Had my heart beating the whole time and it was awesome, even landed a shot with the winchester on one of them. And the conclusion I got from that death is that the current iteration of CLE might kill off private servers until it's a bit more smooth. Put probably 6+ hours into this character, had pretty much everything that I could want by searching almost every house all the way from Berezino to Pushtoshka by going all the way to the northern towns then west. I wouldn't have been nearly as geared if I didn't have a whole lot of luck. And I wouldn't have found jack if it I didn't start playing a day after the persistence wipe. Imagine 3-6 days after one? All in all I just don't think I can bare doing it all over again. I think that this iteration of CLE will drive players onto public even more than what it's like on stable. I just can't bring myself to pick berries and find nothing for an hour+. Oddly, I'm glad that this game is taking this direction with hardcore survival but, I feel like it needs to be toned down just a bit or made a little less monotonous by making scavenging for food a little more interesting. Change of topic, anyone tried fishing with a fishing pole this patch? I tried it out but got bored after 5 minutes of spamming F. Anyone know how long it will take? Also, PSA! spray painting a gun with a mag in it may delete the magazine.

Hmm, still can't figure out how to get a spoiler into the imgur bbcode =[ But! heres some sliced pumpkins! Me and a guy I met today have found like 3 freshies and gave them some! http://imgur.com/7IyRVpu

Ok so I can't seem to figure out how to put images directly into this post with spoilers but I have uploaded my screenshots onto imgur. I'll label them so you don't have to sort through to see ones you want to see! Really liking .56, It's a struggle but that's what makes it fun and rewarding fox meat on Ashwood Stick (appears only ashwoods work) http://i.imgur.com/3OcOdVX.jpg Raw Fox meat (and my character after a 240minute session starting from fresh B) ) http://i.imgur.com/E310fKz.jpg Cooking the meat with a stick http://i.imgur.com/QWwv7yf.jpg Cooked Fox meat, atleast i hope it was cooked (still says raw....) http://i.imgur.com/AdaMQlm.jpg Would have posted the new hunting scope and the actual dead fox but all my screenshots from before that session and even some of the ones from it are not showing up in steam =[

Someone tell me how to post images (hidden preferably) and I'll dump all my screens of .56 . Seen hunting scope twice, the winchester70, the izh 18 a few times and the new fox (along with pelt and meat). would be happy to dump all my screens if someone would tell me how
