Yep. Most cows I ever saw in one place. Really tempted to unload my AK's drum :D

Server's connection to the hive might be unstable. Try a different server.

Holy thread resurrection.

Between Vybor and Pustoshka. I make my camp sites at the little scenic pond there all the time :) Where are all these cows at?

Nailed it!

Close!

Thanks :) I've always wanted to make a "dangerous" camp there, considering it's proximity to NWAF it looked like a bit of fun to defend, especially if we could make proper barricades. I thought I had a SS of it myself in my library, but I can't seem to find it.

I actually disagree. I think you missed what I was saying. It's much easier to play 3PP because you can observe without risk. Need to see if a room is clear? Instead of actually stepping inside as is required in 1PP, you can just stand outside and free look around. You have to be *more* careful in 1PP because you can't observe without exposure. The same cannot be said about 3PP. And you also reinforced another point, 3pp makes it's easier to see more of what is going on around you, since the camera is detached from your body. While it may not be "COD", 3PP is still a far easier play style than 1PP.

To be fair, it's hard to 3PP camera someone when you're, say, running across a field and they're hiding behind a wall.

I was hiding under a low pine tree on the Chenaya side of the valley overlooking the new city Novod in the far north. Just people watching, carebears, calm down. As I lay there, completely hidden from view from the south, I heard running foot steps approach. Expecting another insane aggro I pulled out my 1911 and prepared myself. But instead of a zombie, a player flopped down in my tree right next to me, to my (and seemingly his) utter surprise. Of course we shot each other, me unloading my 1911 into him and him getting one point-blank mosin shot off into me. We both passed out, but I awoke first. I reloaded and put one .45 into his skull before ditching my ruined gear, taking useful non-ruined gear from him, and booking it the hell out of there. Of all the trees, he picked mine to hide in.

Bor. http://dayzdb.com/map/chernarusplus#6.039.115 How about this infected pond?

Try my suggestion, and keep an eye on the zombie by turning your head back constantly. You'll see they break faster than you think.

If you aggro one, run in one flat direction at a constant speed (preferably a sprint) and note how the zombie keeps pace with you. After a short period of time (under 30 sec, I think) the zombie will slow down to a regular run speed instead of a sprint and will maintain this pace until you put enough distance to break the aggro. If you downgrade your run speed from sprint to regular run when the zombie does, you'll notice that the both of you will maintain the same speed and distance from either other. If you keep to sprint, you will out pace the zombie and leave it's aggro range eventually.

Infinite stamina? No, they slow down after a short period of time. The players, on the other hand, do have infinite stamina. We call them zombies for brevity, but to be technical, they're infected humans per the lore and words directly from Dean's mouth.

I was just on a 37/40 ZAP server last night/early morning. But it was the only 1PP with a pop over 10.

In one of the woods, East side of NWAF, outside the wire. I want to say GRID 049049.

I know that, but that's not what what the intent was behind my post. Further it doesn't specify that ALL pistols will be affected, though it does seem logical, nor does it say that the one-handed will be the only pose. Now, to re-address my point, a two-shot low-accuracy highly-specialized pistol will have little to no use other than "better than nothing". A Derringer is not designed to take the place of a light-weight combat pistol. It is intended for high concealability, including when held. You can't hide even a Mak in the palm of your hand. If the animation pose with a Derringer looks the same as when holding a 1911, regardless of the number of hands involved, then it is a basically useless pistol other than the "better than nothing" option. Even among those of us who carry concealed on a daily basis, Derringers are hardly ever utilized due to low round count and poor accuracy, despite the extremely low weight and ease of concealment. That being said, I know balance will come in the future and further animation modifications as well. And obviously everything is personal preference, so YMMV. I was just pointing out how this is basically a fluff item unless there is actually something done to make it useful over an actual combat pistol. I will be paying attention to the development of this item and hope for something useful to come from it.

Ding ding! Black Mountain facing west.

Nope. Try again.

Server sizes will be increased. They're already testing 50 player servers on Experimental right now.

And now I have "Fancy" stuck in my head. But seriously, OP gave me cancer.

Try all angles. Try sprinting at the wall and alt-F4ing the game. I've had it happen to me in multiple buildings. It's because you logged out upstairs. There's some mis-communication in the server about your character location when you log back in. It's best to log out on flat ground. Known bug. I believe you are the one missing the point, sir. Again, read the disclaimer when you start the game. The point of spending time on it is to HELP the devs FIND these bugs and report them. Again, READ THE MESSAGE. Also, the rule for DayZ has been the same since it's inception: never get attached to your gear.

Anyone get this one?

Yes, I know it exists, but I have yet to see it.

Sprint towards the wall and hop. Repeatedly. "I know this is not a very constructive thread, but where do I start? How about I sell you a car, it's an alpha stage. I call it a car, but you have to pick it up and carry it. You have to put fuel in it, but the car won't use it. You have to pay tax on the MOT and service, even though the wheels won't turn and the gears don't work. Yeah, walking would be easier, but then you wouldn't have that nice car you have to carry around like Fred Flintstone." When the car has a giant label on it that says "CAR IS NOT YET FINISHED" and you only want a finished car, then don't buy the car. You might try giving that warning label another read.
