0.59 just is not prone to crashing, so I assume you are talking about 0.60 when complaining about uptimes.

If Uptime is your primary concern, why on earth do you play experimental instead of stable? You deliberately choose a branche, where servers are bound to crash, yet complain when they actually do?

Indeed, most innovative role play ever, I don't think anyone snipes in this game ...

Reviewers often do not make a difference between a partly toxic community and the game content. Neither do they make a difference between game content and gameplay. So take it with a grain of salt. On the other hand, the extreme emphasis on guns guns and more guns led - at least on stable branch - to a non-innovative KOS shooter with permadeath. There just is no content to strive for apart from shooting other players currently, which in itself also validates a negative or sceptical review. But many people give a negative opinion for al lthe wrong reasons like bugs.

Merde, if my char happens to live long enough (like surviving exploring half the map in 0.60) I always tend to get careless. Just got KOSed by a AK spray and pray guy in Lopatino ^^ Time for a new spawn soon then I reckon :P

oh yes, finally a medical suggestion again. Make sickness, injury and medication relevant. I like your umble suggestion Further points: More illnesses and Different classes of antibiotics, Small surgery as a skill acquired by books (splints and more) vaccinations (unvaccinated gunshot wound could cause tetanus - more than realistic) prolongued vertigo after a melee hit to the head making it for maybe an hour impossible to shoot your gun reliably and also to sprint .... There are so many possibilites associated with the medical field, it would be a shame not to use them :)

Might be. But playing stable, esp. on public hives, I found little interaction. It basically comes down to "shoot at what you see". Granted, there also is a lack of survival challenges (like serious illness, hordes of zombies, no food). So if there is nothing challenging you, what are you going to do? On exp on the other hand things are new, people cannot join with their whole clan, since it is hard to get in at all, people want to talk about the new stuff. However, time of day could surely also influence interaction.

You would not need more cars, but a different spawn system. With the current system, within hours after server start, big groups will take all vehicles they can take for their base. Log in a day later and you will not find a vehicle unless you rob a base. All vehicles spawning at server start might not be the best solution.

yep, people are less toxic on exp.

^^ now I thought about how to adress this brain fart for like five minutes. Figured out my brain doesn't really cope with this level. Sorry.

rather not, rather civilian ones. speaking of mil locations, its fine for them to hold most of the mil loot, however, a last stand of the military is unlikely to take place in barracks, so a lone AK for instance could also be found in Cherno or Tulga for instance. That's in reference to emu's post. However, loot zones are by no means a game breaker, I just don't regard them as a plus.

yes, but it almost makes moving to certain locations mandatory. taking away some of the sandbox element

This has always been a big bummer - I very much hope that thsi idea is or will be dropped

Maybe, can't tell ... having to undergo the lone wolf experience currently, since my friend isn't up for DayZ anymore, so I guess it all feels somewhat different now (and playing alone is indeed a lot less fun :/). But at least I got to see Tisy

Don't. Generally stable holds even more people, for whom the keyboard is limited to the pull-trigger-button. If you are looking for anything beyond that, play experimental.

I hear you. Then again, will a mindless predator simply queue at your door? Will he even consider (which implies thought) sticking to towns? Basically, a mindless predator would just move anywhere in my book, so having them all limited to some blocks of concrete doesn't make sense to me. As for the doors, I don't mean in the sense of turning the door knob, I rather mean that they just try brute force to knock a door down. I see that a mindless predator might see a wall and stop instinctively. However, a mindless predator will not mind open fields at all, more game, more animals, less obstacles for the hunt.

Hopefully not only in urban environments. No reason that you should not stumble upon a lone zed out in the woods. Of course less frequent due to less prey ... but it should be possible. Just like zeds should be able to "open" doors by brute force. Right now they are rather politely queuing in front of your door instead of trying to get to you.

Probably as great as any patch. And interaction will be exclusively limited to pulling the trigger. Will miss the mix of fight and cooperate that is bound to end when it's hitting to stable.

There currently is a thread in reddit regarding that and I think, it's a valid point. After a server wipe, it will only take a couple of hours and then all cars will be stashed away for forever, especially on private hives. Looking for a car the day after a new patch has been uploaded? Pointless. I do not know how specifically a better spawn system would or could look like, but maybe not all vehicles spawning at once after a wipe? Discuss.

Ha, this makes me hopeful. Punching, melee .... this is stuff you can fight against or run from. So much better than spawning in and just being sniped. Just been to 0.60 for like 10 minutes, but reading that I have a very small hope that guns are not all over the place. I don't really believe that the gun inflation has stopped, but hey, why should I not hope :P

I didn't consider it a boon to work this Friday. By now I think it's best to work :)

problem solved. Keep the max ping moderate. with a max ping of 2222 I got only like 60 servers, with a max ping of 222 I get around 600 ... ;) just in case anyone as the same trouble

at least you can see the servers, you're one step ahead ^^

Thanks, just tried, but now it doesn't return me any servers at all. I wonder what I am doing wrong :/

Cannot find a single 0.60 exp server, only 0.59 servers showing up ... mhm
