r4z0r49 4761 Posted February 6, 2013 I do find that the Z's calling to each other is a little overdone.I've found matches & knife so am able to survive well enough but entering a town (Stary Sobor) or any other to search for (much needed) ammo is really not worth the risk.I'm down to greyscale blood count with zero ammo, so what do I do now....?Throw my weapon and go hunting for sheep/goat with my axe in the fields south of Vyshnoye knowing from experience that the Z's are going to spot me from way to far before I can loot the beast !Or, stay in the woods and hope to stumble on a boar ?I repeat : I do find that the Z's calling to each other is a little overdone.I am a Rare Wolf, not a Lone Wolf.You make that call isn't that the part of survival should you shouldn't you. the LOS checks are done from the direction of the zeds from the body i think it is so spot the zed let him turn around and go in. If done correct you can get to within a few meters of the zeds. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sp86 508 Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) As for the rarerity, i dont follow your logic.If a group of people have a lot of something, and they suddenly disappear or all die and leave a lot of shit behind, there will probably be more of what they have a lot of than stuff they kept in small numbers, artificial balancing notwithstanding.

I've also pulled from 150 meters through solid cover, so it's a mixed bag. Edited February 6, 2013 by sp86 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trichome (DayZ) 198 Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) Why is the BAF_L85A2_RIS_CWS removed? It was a neat weapon and to filter out snipers? The only weapon that had thermal sight.. Now the snipers with ghillies will just be too damn strong on some places like open fields. I usually scan around with the thermal. The weapon itself is shitty as hell as the accuracy of it is terrible aimed down scope unless within like 100 meters? Otherwise spray & pray or something.Why make it a holo? Did they fix the accuracy of it? As of now, the AS50 is just pure ownage. Makes not that much sound. Harder to place than a M107 and 1 shot kill. Winning, no thermal, GL finding the ghillie in a forest. (like needle in a haystack) if a experienced player. We know where to lie down and snipe.//NitsujIt was removed because 300 whiners around here decided for the 1.5mil players; no other reason.We run a private hive where the weapon still is available and spawns if you want to use it <_< although you'll need 1.7.4.4 as were not updating our servers.

I've also pulled from 150 meters through solid cover, so it's a mixed bag.As sp86 said that is close anything you do could trigger the zed even hitting your Epeen monitor can trigger a zed. Even if you do trigger the zeds just hide again you can lose zeds very quick.Now the system isn't perfect and needs work but overall it is hit and miss we are working on this but like anything we need to balance what we add (new stuff, fixed stuff, balance stuff) not to mention we need to watch cpu cycles.The l85 was put under vote for over a week the results came back to remove. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

judotoss 0 Posted February 6, 2013 Amaaaaazing. Have been waiting with baited breath for this update for ages.That's bated breath, ie holding your breath. U can't bait breath lolz. So did this patch really bring out the hackers, or what? Got hacked on 3 different official hive servers in 30 minutes and lost about a weeks worth of in game time on my hero. Does this patch open up hackable exploits, or do they just come out in force after a patch? Fml. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fml.na thats just dayz.If you want to avoid loosing your gear then stay away from public official servers and get on a private hive where they can restore the database after a script kiddie attack as we've done a few times now. Your always going to have to put up with script kiddies on the mod but on private hives you get all your gear back and life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

martink8190@gmail.com 149 Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) Alright so here's my bit of observation, playing last night for 3-4 hours so far:I could find more ammo than canned food as new spawn. Two hours in the game ( after server restart thought, got lucky I guess) I was able to findM16 GL (two mags, one reg. one SD)AK74 (no ammo)AKM (no ammo)MP5 (two mags)Macarov (4mags)# Military grade weapons easy enough to find with bit of luck but ammo not so easy. Happy here, seems balanced.Canned food rarer than antibiotics - Found the gear above but almost died from hunger.The situation saved a dead I guy I found, that had beans on him. Other than that its tons of empty cans even in markets.# I could be unlucky but as new spawn I had really hard time getting food with no matches and no canned food anywhere and as said almost died. Awesome, seems hard but balanced.Zombies - They do communicate with each other really damn well and aggroing them is really a no go but they still stupid. I didn't have huge issues getting trough cherno industrial to market, church and others. At this point though, I must say many players left and there were 6 players left, so my literally only worry were zeds.# What seemed to work was to hatchet every zed that was the closest, ideally from behind and quietely, either after he'd seen you or just for being sure sake. They do however seem to still able to see trough walls and some houses, as one made me bleed trough said wall, others just stand there like when you were in a vehicle. They know you there but cant do much. Weird.Overall, patch made it quite harder and perhaps glitchy but not as bad as others may have experienced but than again, I only got few hours in game.Conclusion - watch your corners, be very careful in towns and stay prone, crouched and quiete at all times. Don't take your chances and take out near by zeds with hatched before they can send a msg to others.EDIT- As I hear the error that I'm getting on every second server is up to admins to deal with ...restriction #44Another problem I have is that there seems to be so many modified servers that I have to go trough 10 if not more to find one that isn't a private hive and doesn't kick me for some other error....Whats up with that??EDIT 2 - I also found an alice pack and tried to put my newly found MP5 in it and also the M16 GL. They both take exact number of slots and without mags I had 4 or 5 slots left only. (btw MP5 should take less slots as SMG) So either I'm missing something or the available slots for weapons do not seem to work correctly?

Katana67 2907 Posted February 6, 2013 Not gonna' do an ounce of good but...Patches tend to be glitchy, have y'all forgotten we're playing an Alpha?As for zombies talking to each other, they're supposed to be a threat... god help you people in Standalone when they finally fix zombie pathing problems. In zombie fiction, you hardly see one zombie running after a dude while the others just walk around like idiots.There are no doubt problems with the gameplay, but these problems have been there since DayZ released in April-ish of last year... and not 1.7.5.1.As for people losing stuff from their characters, grow a pair... this is bound to happen, you're testing an Alpha remember? If you're attached to your gear that much, then perhaps you should try servers where you can pay to win. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BelMarduk 169 Posted February 6, 2013 Explain your logic or get called out.A metal canteen is not meant to be heated. It is made to simply hold water. It is thin. A campfire is HOT far hotter than your stove top, and whats more the 'unburnt particulates' that 'is' the smoke from a campfire are very caustic. All that being said, a metal water canteen would NOT hold up to boiling water over a campfire very long. That being said, ww II ~ Vietnam era mill canteens did indeed have a 'cup' attachment that would indeed stand up to boiling the water, but the canteen itself never.
