Advent1

Dammit, I guess my countless play time on the mod before it ever got it's popularity was all for naught :(

It seems you are only playing for the PvP aspect of the game if you aren't exploring and searching around. Then you seem to get upset when things get a bit more difficult to attain.

I have yet to figure out the logic in reverting spawns? It's great that the spawns were changed, people get to see the map more. With your logic, I should spawn at Vybor, seeing as I want to get to NWAF quickly. The point is to have military gear a journey to get to, not spawning and IMMEDIATELY within 5-10 minutes be armed to the teeth. And as for the "needed serving hopping", I'll have to go with derpdiggler on this one. Server hopping is DEFINITELY not needed to find loot. I died and joined a 40/40 server, I ran to towns above the cherno/ electro line and was greeted to incredible amounts of food, gear, etc.

It seemed to be steam related, not DayZ. I have the exact same problem at the moment and I can't connect to steam. Steam is probably being DDos'd right now.

Handguns seem to have a condition status similar to that of other items, it's just hidden. Your weapon is probably damaged.

You don't seem to be eating enough. I ran for about 20 minutes non-stop until I received a message saying I was hungry. In game this roughly translates to 7000-8000 meter distance.

Maybe they were unconscious and just disconnected? Which should in theory make their character disappear but will kill them upon logging in.

Greetings, fellow journalist. Also, anti-stab vest confirmed to be in game;

At the moment some items in the "ruined" condition are not usable. Such as pistol's. Although it seems their condition is hidden. I was in a firefight with some guy, I shot about two mags into him, missing most shots. He shot me in the leg with his mosin which completely ruined my pants, which was where my pistol was located. After he shot me I reloaded and tried to fire, my gun would not shoot, only click.

The system you described is already in game. The only way to save your target's loot condition, is to get a headshot. Although most people just pump your body full of lead, which in turn makes everything in your inventory ruined.

From my experience with the new patch it is as follows; M4 is rare now, as should all military grade weapons. Both handguns seem to be common, the ammo for the Magnum is slightly uncommon/rare. While the .45 ACP rounds are somewhat common, along with the magazines. I believe this is a step in the right direction seeing as the mod was more inclined towards military weapons than towards civilian weapons.

The most IMPORTANT rule of combat in DayZ is this; Be patient. I promise you that if you are experiencing a stand off, if you simply out patient your opponent you will win every single time. If you kill someone, ALWAYS assume he has a friend, wait a minimum of 10 minutes before looting the body.

If they have two separate hives for first, and third person servers. You will now have two different characters. One on the 3rd person hive, and another on the 1st person hive.

Patience my friend, combat timers, and log out timers will be implemented soon.

Hm, let me try this with the thread makers logic and others logic; Seeing as my endgame is the boat, all my spawns should be at berezino or right next to the ship. I mean, c'mon, why should I have to run for 30+ minutes just to get to the boat? This isn't fair.

Hello my fellow survivors. I will try to clear some things up regarding weapon accuracy! (From my experiences) Each part of the weapon influences accuracy, depending on the type and condition. For the M4 this means ; Hand guards and Butt stocks. MP (Magpul) parts seem to increase accuracy by a bit, while the CQB hand guard actually reduces it (as said by it's description). If you're shooting targets further than 100meters you should not be using a CQB butt stock but rather the MP counterparts or the default parts. As for the Mosin, after shooting 100+ rounds at people camping the cherno sniper tower I have come up with this. The condition of the scope severely effects where the bullet lands. If the scope is NOT pristine, it will shoot towards the left. My pristine scope w/ pristine bipod almost always (9 out of 10 shots) fires dead center, the MOST it would move to the leave is like a millimeter; not much. If your shots are still not hitting where you are aiming, check your weapon condition and it's attachments, and remember to zero accordingly like other users have posted.

Is your brightness and Gamma both at 1/3 of the bar full? If possible, take a screen shot of how your screen currently looks.

Have you turned off post processing? It should help against the uneasy feeling. It should be in video -> rendering.

I can meet with you guys, I have ample supplies, what server would you like to meet on?

I think a lot of people are confusing what KoS and what PvP means. Going to Balota and camping the barracks, shooting new spawns -> KoS Going to Balota and counter sniping snipers shooting new spawns -> PvP Sadly, almost all of these "KoS" players IMMEDIATELY log out when a bullet lands near them, but that's a whole other argument all together.

I believe the actual issue here is the condition of the pistol. While playing yesterday, some guy shot at me in electro, I dumped two mags into him, only to have him shoot me in my leg (thus ruining my pants and my pistol which were in the pants.) After he shot me my pistol would no longer work. I believe weapons themselves have conditions but they are hidden and not shown over the weapon when you hover over them. I tried everything, using new mags, unloading the mags, reloading them, etc, nothing would work. I found a new pistol, put in the mag from my other pistol and it worked perfectly.

I know Rice diminishes your water. I ate one box of rice, about 2-3 cans of spaghetti, and drank water until it said, "you are stuffed" and received the "healing/healthy" status.

Found a down jacket;

Bayonets are just for show for now. For the bipod, you need to go into your inventory, right click on it, and select "deploy".

This defeats the purpose of the game entirely. Having ANY type of ranking system would be horrible for dayz and would turn the game into an even bigger kill fest.
