When I started playing I hopped servers a lot and only played on low-pop servers. That got boring real quick. Now I find it waaaay more fun to mess around on the high-pop servers, and it can actually be a thrill NOT to be totally geared all the time and taking the challenges as they come. For me this game is about the player-to-player interactions, not about running around with the heaviest guns and 20 mags and in theory being able to mow everyone down - but still playing on a low-pop server where a silenced ij-7o and 2 mags would be enough for most things.

You not believing me luckily does not affect me much. I am just telling you that I have used it twice and that it worked perfectly for me, gave a 3-digit reading of the distance to what I was aiming at (up to about 450 meters where I stopped testing it any more). If I happen to pass one by and got a battery on me I can take a screen-shot, but its not very high on my to-do list. BTW: What would I get out of lying about the range-finder working for me??

They are literally in every other shack in the industrial areas. :)

I dont necessarily agree. I bought this game a little less then 2 months ago, and at that time the game was a mess, but they have actually put a lot of work into it and pumped out decent updates at a good speed since that and the game has come a _looong_ way in that relative short amount of time. If they keep that pace (and use the added influx of money from the Xbox-sales and soon from the PS4-sales in a good way...) then this game could be anywhere in a years time. But I do agree that one could wish that this game was way, way, way further into development and if one had played the game on PC since it started there so long ago and now has to go through much of the process on Xbox again then it will probably have felt like a little eternity...

I was wondering it too. I hope its fixed as it would be a _very_ counterproductive way to "get rid" of server-hoppers.

You dont need to drop it on the ground. Just hold the item you want to repair in your hands, open the inventory and find the sewing kit, press b and then hold RT.

Unfortunately, it does nothing for the Mosin - I just tested it. Changing the firing mode (double press left stick) does nothing, and will not let me use the rounds I have put into the internal mag.

Can you then use the 5 rounds in the internal mag so it is not a 1 shot, 1 reload-rifle? PS - Please describe the steps taken in detail. :)

Its a little different. With the Mosin you can load the internal mag (5 bullets) and have one in the chamber, but you can only fire the one from the chamber and then you have to reload it again after each shot, and the bullets in the internal mag is just sitting there and is essentially lost. With the shotgun you can load bullets into the internal mag (5 rounds I think) and have one in the chamber, and just like the Mosin you can't use the ones in the internal mag - but the shotgun bugs out a a random point (it happened to me after between 2 and 5 shots) and when that happens you can reload the chamber as much as you want but the bullets just disappear from your inventory one at a time when you do it. The Mosin in a one-shot rifle (which you can keep on using), but the shotgun is ruined after a couple of shots and makes your ammo disappear after that.

Dude, this is the Xbox-section. Learn to get a friggin context, and maybe start throwing stupid assumptions around.

That says nothing about that it will go gold for Xbox on the 13th (it does not even mention consoles). It says that version 1.0 will launch on the 13th on Steam FOR PC. I would be _very_ surprised if the Xbox-version was close to that - but ill send you a banana if it does.

And why exactly should the game go gold in 5 days?...

Oh stop the whining, its not like one thing excludes the other. Maybe all the Xbox-users should start going to the PC-forum and start saying that they dont deserve ANY kind of update as they had the game way before us! ;) Totally nonsense.

Kan vi ikke bruge dansk som det samlende sprog i stedet for?

I get that people should complain unnecessarily, but what you are saying is basically that since its been a hard time for the pc-users then the xbox-users are not allowed a voice on that matter.

Yep, I guess they found out about now! :P

And thank god for that! :) When it takes the better part of a (real-time) day to walk diagonally across the map (and cars are so rare, so hard to get going and so easy to wreck) then I will say that the size is plenty big. To the devs: Please dont make it any bigger before you implement jetpacks in the game! :P

But we have just got a shitload of other stuff, we are still waiting for more (working) weapons though.

It should be pretty easy to test as it should start pretty soon after eating human meat (like 45 minutes-ish) and then come about every fifth minute and can not be cured - from what I've read anyways.

Hit me up, im game for that. :) Ill be home later tonight and will be on a solid amount of time over the weekend (and in general). Gamertag: JJB00M (the 0's are zeroes, not o's!).

Ill take the new update with constant rain over the the last iteration any day - at least now we have some stuff to play with! :) But ill happily admit that there are some grave bugs in it right now - the sound that is clipping out (half the time I get paranoid thinking my foot-steps is someone else), the guns that often dont make any sounds when you shoot them, the party-chat that disables proximity-chat (and fucks it up when you leave the party), the disappearing tents and barrels, the extremely laggy and buggy inventory-system and crashes. But all in all this is still one of the technically speaking most impressive games I have seen over +25 years of gaming.

Vid?

I tried that approach to a relative fresh-spawn in Berezino about a week ago. I was on my way to the police-station where I could hear a player looting around inside. I talked to him from outside, stated that I was friendly and asked if there was anything he needed and if he maybe wanted to coop a bit with me so we could keep each others back clear. He replied friendly and said that he was red from hunger and asked if I had any food he could have. Food was the only thing I was low on though - I was yellow from hunger myself and only had a can of peaches that I was saving a bit, but being the friendly dude I try to be (with emphasis on try lol) but I still offered him that we could share it and eat half of it each. I was hoping to have some friendly interaction, maybe find a new mate in-game or go on a little adventure together if he was up to it and I had no real loot so there was no real reason to kill me. He agrees, so I go into the police station and waves friendly to him and he waves back and all seems okay. He asks if I can get the food out right away as he is red and is losing health all the time, so I go into the inventory system to get it out - and you all know what happened then, he pulls out a fucking axe while I am getting the food from the inventory system and starts hacking at me. I yell out for him to stop it, and tells him that its just stupid as I have no loot real loot other then the fucking can of peaches which I was sharing with him - but the SoB does not even reply and hits me once again and I am dead. My trust-level for other people in this game is _almost_ non-existent after that - most will kill you even if there is no reason at all (no loot, no threat and a friendly attitude) and will not even reply to a friendly hi. Also - he sounded like he was pretty young (14-15 would be my guess) and I have made the rule that I will keep my gun pointed at anyone under 20 after this... ;) The next time I offer anyone something I will fucking tie them down first, then leave it on the ground by them and let them pick it up when im gone! I really dont mind if somebody lures me in and then uses the opportunity to hold me up, tie me up and rob me - I dont mind doing that myself and that is just part of the game (and can be fun even for the victim!), but luring un-geared players in just to kill them (for half a can of fucking peaches extra...) is just loooooow and not even remotely challenging. If the person who did this reads it: I hope you get butt-cancer and looses your prick. :)

I only been in the police station in kamyshovo, and that looks like they use to (unless I totally overseen something).

I can totally vouch for that approach. Its waaaay more fun then just KoS'ing, getting the loot and run away to the next victim - and not only for me, but also for the victim. The last dude I robbed (I only done it successfully 3 times though) actually said to me (just before I left him) that it was his first time getting robbed and that he really enjoyed it as he had fun with the situation too and was happy that he got out of there alive and one experience richer. Its a shame that most people just kill on sight, I have not tried to get robbed yet (I have not met anyone who even tried it on me) and I am actually looking forward to it happening sometime. But If the robber is being a total fucking arsehole (talking shit and behaving like a baboon) then I will say fuck it, go at him with my fists and get ripped in a sec instead of letting him do it (and hope that he destroys the items he wanted) - it has to be done with a bit of class so both parties can walk away from the situation with a little smile! :)
