The north (winter is coming etc)

[Wookieenoob 191]

So, since it's gone now i'll tell you all where i used to make camp. in the mod there was an area to the north of NEAF with a dam and a small farm spawn. i returned there to see if anything had changed, and came across a new East/west railway, some new farm buildings, and some new garages. to the east is a new town with plenty of civ loot spawns, and just above NWAF there's a very quiet military spawn nobody has noticed yet. (this is past NWAF's new tent spawns by some distance, in it's own compound)

 

the new areas make up for the loss of my beloved dam, but it seems a bit of a shame, as this was one of the nicest parts of the map. 

 

 

i've encountered several issues so far, none of them particularly glaring.

 

1: ushanka takes a single space but bandanas and caps take two?

2: occasionally a dropped item will disappear (probably known bug)

3: FX .45 pistol spawns seem very common. their magazine spawns are not (shouldn't it be the other way around?)

4: 20 round 7.62 cannot be split up for use in mosin nagant. at one point i was running around with a rifle with ammo, but couldn't use it. (MN is 7.62 right? i'm not losing it?)

5: badly damaged cola..? does that give me increased chance of infection than pristine cola? they're a sealed container, like the cans... my point is that the damage to these isn't particularly explained anywhere. is badly damaged thick and lumpy? Or has the can been battered about a bit?

6: badly damaged water bottle... again, is this talking about the contents or the container?

7: glasses+fairground masks can be attached at the same time and clip

8: ushanka+ fairground masks clip

9: large gas cannister>>>gas stove = poof gas stove gone from invent 

10: water purification tabs + water bottle = poof, no more water purification tabs. the pack was full...

 

suggestions

 

1: get rid of 40% of balota military camp's "two door hut" buildings. currently you can just run about like mad and server hop, you've got a full invent of military gear on spawn

2: get rid of at least two of balota airfield's barracks, or make them spawn less weapons. combined with the military camp there and the aircraft control towers i came across 6 M4A1's on a single server, (all right next to the spawn)

 

i'm guessing the M4A1 is just a placeholder for *every other gun* right now, so this might not be as bad when the game is closer to completion, but that's still quite a lot of weapons to just place on people's doorstep. 

 

3: (possibly the most important suggestion) while i'm not sure exactly of gaffa tape's use ingame, i'd quite like to be able to stick it to things, maybe even use it as a tripwire. (click on one thing, you stick your roll down, drag, click again, and you've stuck a line) gaffa tape should also be useable on most things to repair them a grade, as tape is god. 

4: following directly on from tape, why can't i put this rifle scope or this PU scope onto my M4? even if it doesn't fit i have plenty of tape. 

5: that rifle scope looks more like a modern RIS attached one than the ww2 MN one. so does it attach by RIS? if it does i should totally be able to put it onto the m4.

6: burlap sack over shoulder 

7: why can't you carry two rifles if you can carry rifle/axe 

 

eh's

 

can you repair stuff? i can't myself getting anywhere repairing an ACOG with a hammer.

 

 

if you can't repair anything currently i'd suggest adding a sewing kit and a soldering kit amongst other things.

 

 

 

can you get pristine rotten fruit?

is a badly damaged banana mouldy or bruised?

 

 

 

chernarus is russian right? that's why all the signs are in russian, right? there's not a cloud of psychoactive smoke in the air then? because i'd assume 7.62 ammunition would be far more common than 5.56 in russia.... so why have i only come across 60-120 rounds of 7.62, but over 1000 rounds of 5.56? come to think of it, why is there so much magpul gear floating about? 

 

nerf 5.56 spawns

buff 7.62 spawns

buff .45 acp spawns

massively nerf magpul items spawns. it didn't seem strange while i was playing, but now i've made the point that AK47's are going to be all over the place (well, i made that point indirectly.) (now i made it directly too, i guess.) it seems like magpul (a.) an american company, b.) nice ergo products that also aren't that cheap) wouldn't be as abundant as it currently is.

Yeah, what does the condition indicate exactly? I am wearing damaged or ruined items and they are still usable? If you eat damaged goods, like damaged canned food can you acquire botulism or some other disease? Perhaps that is to be implemented.

[Wookieenoob 191]

the damaged clothes make some sense. you can definitely see the difference between badly damaged ACOG and pristine ACOG, and the parade masks are very obvious too (pristine is bright white.) badly damaged also tends to fade, and i think that makes perfect sense for clothes/weapon attachments

 

but food? when most of it is canned, what does it mean? 

 

it says that the shelf life is 2-5 years on a can depending on storage conditions. so how long ago was the apocalypse? if it was two years ago, we can assume badly damaged cans are on their shelf life or around there. other than that it means absolutely fuckall.

 

why bother having rotten fruit be different items to normal fruit? shouldn't the rotten fruit be the badly damaged/ruined version of a normal one?

 

unless that means a badly damaged normal fruit is just battered, because that's the only logic i can find in it.

Was it a box of 7.62 or loose ammo?  If it was a box right click 'empty' on the box and you'll have your ammo.

the only 7.62 i've come across is 20 rounds in a brown paper wrapping

Damaged items have less 'health' points , so less additional damage required to become unusable / destroyed.

 

A shirt offers more protection than naked flesh, a damaged shirt will provide less protection but still better than nothing.
To a point where it the receives enough damage that it absorbs nothing and your body takes the full hit.

 

That's my understanding anyway.

 

This video explains it (at about 10.30m)

how does this apply to food though, why is it necesary for my food to have HP

 

 

does the status of the food indicate how much hp/hunger it heals?

[Houchin 0]

Mosin Nagant = 7.62x54

Ak47/SKS = 7.62x39

 

Different rounds, just a headsup

Your can has a lifespan. Too much damage it would not longer be fit for purpose

 

ie you'd find beans all over the place after getting hit by someone or something where ever your can was being stored.

i'd read the blurb about lifespan, but why wouldn't i be able to eat my beans after somebody shot them? there'd be some shrapnel in there, granted, but still plenty o beans

Go for your life.

 

It would going to far to assess each bean to see if it would be beanificial to eat, so a cans 'health' gets the idea of item degradation across... I think

i personally inspect every grain of rice/bean with an electron microscope to check for impurities

 

i'll only eat it if it's symmetrical

Well..  I hope you don't damage your microscope or you'll be going hungry  ;)

the only 7.62 i've come across is 20 rounds in a brown paper wrapping

that's what I mean.  Just right click and select empty and you'll get loose ammo.  And right now the only ammo is 7.62, .45 ACP, and 5.56 NATO, soon there should be .357 magnum.

it said there weren't enough

 

20 isn't enough to seperate into two groups of 10 apparently, but maybe my matchs are off

[hegermeister 14]

there are double mags for the m4a1 eg. 2x 30 bullets

 

if you empty them you get a stack of 60 bullets

but otherwise you cant stack a pack of 30 bullets with another pack of 30 bullets cause the stack maximum is 30 .. very confusing

beside the fact that very often if you empty a magazine the bullets just disappear ( i mentioned this already in another thread)

that's not confusing, we're talking about how the 20 round cardboard 7.62 doesn't want to split up at all, not 5.56

[IkaikaKekai 1957]

you need to EMPTY the box, if the box is in bad condition you might not get any ammo, you don't split the box you open it, then you put the stack of ammo on the Mosin and 5 rounds (or however much room there is) will be removed from the stack of ammo and go back into your inventory.

Spent  a few hours running through the north. All the roads that are laid makes me excited to explore new towns. Notably, just north of the new North East town there's a road that leads to an open field. Really interesting stuff. I've already noted some possible camp sites :P
