Join a sever that is at 8:34, play for 5 minutes and bam, reset. Join a server that's at 15:36, play for 2 minutes and bam, resets. Go back to the first server I joined at 8:34, it's now reset and at 7:15, play for a few minutes and bam, resets. Every time I try to come back to stable I get hit with this bullshit. It's so f n annoying. Come on you pussy admins, call it what it really is and that's "2 hour restarts - unless we need gear". At least with experimental, if I join a server that's as 8:30, at the very least I can expect to be playing for 1/2 an hour. ARGGG!!!

That the overly competitive nature of the online gamer leads them to utilizing every retarded, cheap and exploitative trick in the book. Shiiiaaaaaat, you'd think these people are competing to win a toaster or something.

Ya, ok, maybe. But then I'm pretty sure something like this may happen... =)

OK, I got it now. I would actually prefer how it's been done in previous ARMA games and what DayZ actually does now and that is to have where your gun is pointed lag behind where you are looking. Changing what your eyes are focused on, what you're eyes are looking at is instant. The weapon then follows and gets lined up with your focal point. It used to be represented within the crosshair, when they had the the upside down/mirrored Ls as your eyes and the dot as the barrel of your weapon. But, as I said before, I hadn't even noticed this was taking place before in RO1/2 so they must have done it well. =) So I guess either system works for me as long as it's don't well.

I play/ed both RO and RO2 and I have never even noticed the free aim. =P I'm still not hearing any true explanation of what it is. In the video all I am seeing is the ability for the weapon to aim off center, which to me is like looking at 0 degrees while point your weapon at 32 degrees. With all this talk about RO2 I've been tempted to load it up again, it's been a while. I probably should now, and try to figure out what this system is all about.

Not so sure what the obsession with freeaim is all about. All it really represents is a person not aiming at what they're looking at, in the cases where you are not shooting at the center of the screen. I am also not seeing any tactical advantages. If there are two guys to your left, one on screen and one off screen and you free aim to take the shot, the second guy goes unnoticed and caps you. IDK, maybe I'm just not understanding what it brings to the table. Another feature add from other games, seriously can't believe it hasn't been mentioned yet. Even I forgot, till now.... - interacting with ladders by walking into them or, at the very least - proximity button interaction with ladders (so you don't have to risk death searching for that sweet spot)

Here's another fail to add to the list... This one is even worse though, as I'm not even able to shoot through the opening. After this I went out and lined up an 800m shot and it seemed like I was also unable to shoot between the railing. Are these new bugs on these towers?

Anyone else think they may have tuned it down a bit server side? I've noticed far less sway from a crouched position today than I was experiencing last night and that was after a run up a hill.

Ya, my guess would be that that's the direction they eventually go. Depending on my mood I will sometimes play as though that's the way it works. So if my sweater gets ruined I will drop everything from its pockets or even drop the whole sweater. It currently hasn't really added much to gameplay though, as frequent server restarts has food n clothing practically around every corner.

I have practically the same rig and both games run silky smooth, maxed out, while streaming. Maybe some people are just really bad at keeping their computers "optimized".

Chem lights are in, yet one more light source that hoards 'o' sissies will find an excuse not to use. Also looks like they are gearing up for some indoor lighting, as I noticed new lamp fixtures in some of the buildings.

Never noticed until hearing in slo mo, but the mosin reload audio is the reloading of a tank cannon. Sounds like it to me at least. Anyways, not sure how he's lucky though. Surely you saw your crosshair was on the gun and not his head.

Whisper or not, you know every is just going to use teamspeak(or some other 3rd party voip) so they can't be heard in the game. And that will double once zeds can hear. It's ok to put something on the line, peeps.

I think I had the all-time best untouched camp in all of DayZ....in the middle of Berezino. At one point I had 2 bicycles, a motorbike and a tent filled to the rim with brim. Must have been close to two months before it was found.

Ya, it's funny. 'Cause right now stable branch is unstable and exp branch is stable. =) The crash seems to be fixed on exp so we just have to wait for it.

It's a hit or miss right now with stairs. Sometimes they make it up, sometimes they don't. I think it's a matter of how far from the staircase you can get before they get to the stairs. Like if you run up stairs and down a hall and into a room before they hi the stairs, they will try and re-path to your locale as though on the same level as you.

Ya, but they couldn't get on top of piles of hay. Now we have the reverse. =)

- Red Orchestra's ability to stabilize your weapon by resting it on cover or pressing it up against a pole or doorway, corner of wall - Raven Shield's fluid door and cover systems - The Darkness' system where rubbing up against walls or faceplanting a wall affects your aiming (like SFRs suggestion) - Like ARMA 3 or Breaking Point, weight over slots. Slot system is too inconsistent. Why does a screw driver take up twice as many slots as a flashlight that its twice it's size? Why does a measly piece of paper take up a slot at all? Stuff like that would be avoided with a weight system, but I guess you would need to account for overall volume as well

My axe got stuck in the head of the zombie that I killed that alerted the other 50. Wasn't able to get it out in time so I had to abandon. I bolted upstairs into the nearest house and pulled out my rifle with exactly 49 rounds left. I managed to stay calm enough to make every shot count, but it wasn't enough. One last zombie remains and it's creeping up the stairs towards me right now. OMG, what do I d....nm, it just clipped through the stairs.

No, but they will still serve as a funnel and a way to slow them down. Now, when there's 50 chasing you it wouldn't be a such a good idea to paint yourself into a corner. Especially if you only have 49 rounds.

40

Can't we just have a magic bag where we can store 9-10 massive weapons like every other shooter?

Great, so now those 2-3 zeds that may chase you will be even easier to deal with. I look forward to feeling even safer in this zombieless apoc. Sarcasm aside, it is a good thing, but I really couldn't care less until we get back to the point where we can whip around to look out a window and see a guy run by, then a couple seconds later a stream of 50 zeds on his tail.

I am pretty pleased to see that the poor man's UAV is gone in the the latest experimental build. What am I talking about? Any time you saw a red chain in the lower right corner it generally meant someone was now within a certain distance from you, given you weren't actually having connection problems Not sure what that distance was. I don't know how many people actually knew about this, but it pretty much meant you knew when you could free loot and for the many campers out there, when to start camping. I wish I had never known about it, it completely changed the way I played the game, but now it is gone so rejoice! Now you have to go back to properly scouting an area or just deciding when to or when not to say "fuck it, I'm goin in". I can't help but notice how dead the experimental servers are right now. I'm willing to bet it has something to do with this, lol. Either that or peeps are just unwilling to play in the new nerfed night time lighting.

Awe man, there truly is no end to the excuses that people will make to justify being pussies in a video game. LOL.
