You have to find neat stacks of lumber in industrial areas. The regular cords of wood won’t yield any materials.

I can confirm this. My one homie crosses over to 1pp to run with me, otherwise he is with a group on a 3pp server. He was telling me that group used to dupe, but they were now saying their methods no longer work. Thank you B.I.

Solid update! +Infected changes, +Plate carrier choice, +Attachment differentiation. Can plate carrier be repaired to pristine condition? One negative: Consistently massive lag when driving in Krasnostav square, Novodmitrovsk near small bridge over canal on West side of industrial area, Zelenogorsk near military on main road. (I’m on PS4, 1pp server) Magnified by gun shots by factor of 2 or 3. Not salty, but I know I could have escaped a death or two if the game were not one frame every 3-7 seconds. On the same topic, I was driving and getting shot at earlier this year and saw a bullet make a mark on the pavement in front of me after it cracked past my head as I was doing my best to make evasive maneuvers. It was an awesome experience in DayZ! Please change zoom button to R3 / RS click. @Kyiara

I would really like to see the developers push their perspective on guns from "balancing" efforts to realistic, simulation ballistics. Some weapons should be much stronger than others. I would expect a .308 round to kill an un-armored survivor up to 500m-600m. In version 1.12 I believe the NATO round is able to kill up to 300m or so. I feel that the shock damage is a little excessive also. The plate carrier finally feels the way it should. Maybe make it rare like NVG (5 per map). OR: What if only the tier 4 military infected spawn with a plate carrier? You have to acquire armor from them with lethal force. In addition, maybe increase suppressed sound radius up to 500m?

Damn flying cats....

Would someone be kind enough to explain restock? How does it affect respawn of an item? Does an item queue in the CE even if it’s count is not min? How does restock factor into the min and nominal count? E.G. count of item in map is 5, nominal set to 10, min at 1, restock is 28800; does item queue, does CE wait until 4 get picked up, does CE spawn the item until it reaches nominal no matter what? Can multiple items of the same type spawn at one time if restock is set to greater than 0 in types.xml? Can multiple items of the same type be in the queue with different (individual) restock time elapsed? Does restock have a maximum, or optimal value so as not to burden server performance? @ImpulZ please help.

Please make this change.

@Tonyeh I agree, the search time is ridiculously short. Shooting twice should aggro the shit out of every infected to that spot's vicinity. Gunning them down and switching positions is easy. The suppressors make weapons SO quiet now that you can be inside of 20m and other infected won't even know you shot a round. It needs a lot of work.

How does re-stock affect minimum values in the types.xml file? If the actual item count goes below the minimum, does a new one spawn instantly, or does re-stock time remaining matter when active? Will an item begin to spawn when actual count is greater than min but less than nominal? When and what else determines when an item queues to respawn?

@Kohlbar : double-tap “down” on the d-pad.

Lol, it’s just a funny predicament to me! I can read well enough. Computers can be strange.

Just download it.

@Parazight: It was a tongue-in-cheek way of teasing GMB to "not be so negative." OP was about what type of things make you happy about the game currently. I was hoping to shift the most common narrative on these forums to a conversation we could all enjoy. I certainly wasn't asking for the deluge of negativity you just poured out. No one is entitled to automatically receive gratitude. It is given through individual volition. Which just makes you a decent human being. I'm not going to discuss and debate theology, biology, or immunology, but that is the way the universe works. And I wasn't assuming at all; GMB specifically mentioned flavor. Damn right I want those features, too! If you play the game, there has to be something about it you enjoy, so don't be such a parasite.

Not nearly enough of this thing, gratitude, going around on these forums, but there are frequent complaints. I wanted to say thank you to the small team of developers of this game. The fact that they are still working on improving the experience and continuing to reimplement old features from before Enfusion change, makes me hopeful for the direction of this game. They are listening to feedback. I spoke about using tools to install and uninstall car parts a year ago, and it was implemented more/less in 1.12 version. More thanks: ATOG sight reticle is less chunky in 1.12 and a tritium dot for upper iron sight is quite welcome! What is everyone else thankful for? (I kept my list short intentionally.)

I’m picking up what you’re putting down. Though, it’s never too late, G-M-B. At any given second, even though it may not seem so, there is some kind of opportunity.

@green_mtn_grandbob : Cool, man. We’re all waiting for the same things. Maybe you should sign on to be a developer and make a constructive contribution?

Easy to implement, no?

Interesting! My 2 cents: perhaps cars can spawn with an unique key already in the ignition that is also able to lock the doors. Bandits and thieves would have to use tools to physically remove the door and then hot-wire it with a screwdriver or lock pick. Furthermore, if using heavy melee weapons the door could be hit until ruined, then allowing its removal.

So basically, what I’m hearing is the game has become more strategic, because you now place greater emphasis on risk and reward, but your interpretation is that it’s a nuisance because it’s not as easy as it used to be for you? @Homeschooliazon : I must say, I was not receptive to the infected changes at first, but everything you said is true! I fully agree this is a positive shift for the state of PvE. The infected are not OP, but a solid threat in numbers. I’ve noticed when you are 1v1 with infected that you can hit them, back away blocking (evading an attack), then repeat with little to no damage taken; if you take your time to learn their attack sequences, it is more strategic than before instead of straight-up button mashing. The fact that they don’t ruin your clothing as quickly is a perfect balance.

Also, it would be much cooler if players could construct those huge pyres rather than it be like a heli crash.There’s already Xmas lights, why can’t we put them on a tree ourselves? There’s pumpkins you can grow, why not carve them yourself? For me, it breaks immersion when some little gnomes erect these “events” in secret during the season and then they just disappear. Who is doing this shit??? Some secret society of NPCs?!

Same here ZBA, 1PP all the way. I’m carrying one right now, and when my friend eggsplained to me what it was for, I instantly facepalmed. I ain’t mad. Let’s be clear on that. I think it’s stupid. I’m going to trap a bear in it, btw.

The point is, we love playing DayZ, and the Eggsperimental capsule belongs in Skyrim. It’s immersion-breaking for me. I mean seriously? Who in their right mind thought this was okay? BrB, gotta catch ‘em all!

Add me on PSN: EzyStrider; We will get in touch this weekend.

I will add you when I get on next! I mostly play on weekends and holidays.
