Hey now, no one hates on Brazilians here, whatsoever. We hate each other with equal voracity!!

Not sure where you're located on the planet, but: 23.250.11.194:2502 It's a 30 slot NY server that my buddy rents that's actually pretty decent. It's called "Pinky and the Brain". I run into a good mix of friendly and not-ever-friendly folks there. It's a nice server to meet up with randoms that will group up or you can roll solo. It's usually pretty stacked at peak hours for a U.S. server. This is 1st person only, btw. I'm personally actually fine with 1PP or 3PP, but am currently digging 1PP. As soon as private hives hit, he plans to switch it exclusively to that. If you're ever on (after today, as i'm done playing for the night) feel free to add me on steam. I'll pm you my steam name.

I thought you did burlap sack + rope for 12 slot, then when you find a stick add it to the bag to make it 20?

No, but I now know that Mosin's do:

Ahah! Thank you for clearing that up for me :) Have my beans, good sir!

I thought that the ability to run a private server is already there (meaning today) but that providers need to get the work done on their end to let us have the option to switch to it. I think i'm getting confused here... I think mainly because Vilayer is calling the "hardcore" option 1PP and normal as 3PP. I'm guessing they may need to change their terminology on that setting?

He's saying don't be a bum? I'd think it would be better to help out the team if we can. I mean this is kind of the point of alpha anyway, righto?

Dean, the correct data a player should be seeing would be a loadout from a few days ago, correct? I've noticed that while some servers that seemingly cannot connect to the hive are loading fresh spawns, those servers that do seem to connect to the central hive are loading database saves from a few days back. While i'm not complaining about it, I wondered if this is the correct data that should be showing up when the server does successfully connect to the hive?

If you're running into character loading issues on servers, report the IP to the server so that they can work with the providers to help fix them. Dean just posted this here: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/167343-servers-with-connection-issues-to-central-hive/

Good deal! Get them the IPs to problematic servers guys, so we can all get back to enjoying the patch. If I weren't at work right now i'd be testing a bunch of them!

Just give them a day or so and they'll fix it.. ..geez, so much whining...

I've found some decent stuff in those barns as of the patch too. Gas mask, decent clothing, food, etc. I checked the deer stands and no lootables added to those yet though.

^another bug, yep :( I have a nice and sexy camo mosin, but it can only fire 1 round at a time.

Epic. Loved the motorcycles. Get on, go 110, turn slightly the wrong way, crash and die instantly. xD I had some pretty awesome escapes in my mod career on those things, being chased by killers in other cars.

Yeah, like getting shot at by 50 different people on the way and probably not making it to your destination lol. on high pop servers, driving a vehicle, many times, would get your car and all your friends in it blown up/killed. At least those were my experiences in the mod. Vehicles are just plain fun anyway. I remember fixing up cars just to take them out and get into trouble. It never took long because they are loud as hell.

Still not working :( In fact, it will let you chamber 2, but really 1 just disappears. They gotta fix that bug.

Yeah the servers are crazy right now. I spawned in the first time and was able to get a weapon cleaning kit, black and green spraypaint and a hacksaw. Of course, this was my relatively newer guy from a few days back.That server restarted so i joined a couple of others to find myself on the beach.. Then joined a night server and my guy was brought back. I'm just not going to play for fear of losing something tonight. I did at least get to do this to my Mosin :) :

Last night I was able to get a hacksaw, spray paint, some new shorts and new shoes. My ultimate quest was to find a shotgun. So I found an axe. as soon as I picked it up, i stopped under a street light for a second. Out of nowhere someone runs up and starts going to town on me with a crowbar. I hit her once with an axe and she took off. I bandaged up and started moving down the road. then BAM again. chick trying to take me down with crowbar. High-tailed into the woods and bandaged again. get back on the road and see her coming at me through the dark again.. just ran through the woods and hit up the next town. It seemed unlooted, so I began to loot. about 10 minutes later i see someone with a flash light. Curious, i turned it on from the upstairs of the house i was in through the window. They shined back at me. They then slowly walked to the doorway. I stood at the top of the stairs ready for them. I shined my flashlight down and see them come into the light. Then all of the sudden "BOOOM", they shot me with a shotgun. My screen flashed red and I hit the ground and rolled to the side and got out my axe. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get out of the way enough and the same chick that was trying to bash me with a crowbar down the road was now standing right over me to finish me off. Game over. lol.. I spawned in a few more times but it was mostly just kids punching people making stupid noises... Seriously, if you're going to take up a space on the experimental server, at least do something freaking productive. That's just a waste of a slot imo.

Well... I managed to see the shotgun. Unfortunately, I was on the business end of it haha.

Let's hear it :)

this is pretty much what I do. run up gun pointed at them, tell them to hold still and to keep their fucking mouth shut. Then tell them if they comply, they will live. If they comply, I'll leave them alone. If they try to trail me, I wait until they get closer and kill them. Most of the time I don't completely rob the crap out of people. I usually just take what I need and leave them alone. I don't want to set them back too much if it's unecessary. However, if I don't have a backpack and very little, I usually just take everything. The last time I held someone up I was like "What's your name?" they started to say their name and I interrupted with "Just keep your fucking mouth shut, got it?" lol

Exactly what I did. I was teleported by a hacker into the ocean the other day. Immediately sighed, took a stack of 6 quarters and placed it down on a double-tapped 'W' and went and made myself some food/watched a movie. Came back later, and to my delight, I was dead. Unfortunately, that's about the only thing you can do at the moment.

I would have personally added Militant Hero to that list, as I've seen quite a few in squads actively hunting bandits and helping noobs. Like some sort of merry roving band of robin hoods.

I would think the problem that Matt mentioned could be fixed somewhat quickly, but then again I have assumed one thing about functionality fixes for software and have been dead wrong after looking into them. I wish the team luck in getting it fixed today!

^ typically fixes from my own experiences as well.
