First impressions about the new update

[SyL3X 51]

I really like the pistol flashlight addition. Very handy. :thumbsup:

 

Also the new .45 suppressor is cool but it doesn't work properly just like the M4's. Btw, M4 has become extremely rare now and I think it's very bad because this will encourage even more a camping gameplay approach.

 

@Devs Consider increasing M4's loot rate a bit, pls.

It was very common indeed. But now it's very rare. Something in between would be awesome.

I like that M4's are rare now. Went through both military bases along with the small barracks at zeleno and found no guns and then the NWAF which I only found one (an M4) (Might I also add that all of these locations had not yet been looted before I showed up). Also, all the tents at the NWAF were empty. They hadn't already been looted unless someone looted the tents and not the rest of the airfield. So far the M4 is the only gun I've found. Ammo is not that rare though.

I also like the idea of the M4 being rare. Now anyone with one of those will be hunted for there loots! Grab a sawn off shotty and go get em I say!

I just can't get over the server hoping fix, it just ruins the game for me. I play with my brother, who is in another country... we tend to switch servers based on connection issues. Now we have to completely restart if we switch? Why not simply just add a "10 minute" timer to looting when switching servers? To limit us to such small servers ruins the game in more ways than one. If you're going to limit us to servers, at least have main servers that can hold more than 40-50 people. I just played on a server and I seriously felt like I was just running the same trail of 5 other people trying to find food, it was stupid and unenjoyable.

Wait so, we will not lose our character if we log in to the same server we logged out of? I was under the assumption that no matter what, if you log out and log back in, even to the same server, your character is reset. Snap now I need to check my history and try to remember which server I was just on.

That's probably not going to happen, since they intentionally decreased its spawn rate.

+1. :beans:

Unless you are jumping from Hardcore to Standard servers, then this is a bug.

[SyL3X 51]

They decreased M4 loot spawns and yet you can find a ton of 56mm magazines. Nice logic.

This makes automatically M4 overpowered, especially for group players.

 

Was a hit in the nuts for solo players this update.

Tonight I logged into a DayZ US server and it gave me my character from 4-5 days ago. I was able to switch to several other servers in quick succession without being fresh-spawned. So, server hopping does not promise a fresh respawn.

[hells high 676]

The character I got rolled back to had a fairly kitted out M4. I'm even more afraid for my life now!

[soulfirez 901]

First impressions epic loot a little less now great finding it a little more survival game epic lol had to start again epic( i like fresh start with new patch ) went on a hardcore server with me in had 40 players EPIC( glad to see some first person love lol .

 

M4 rare now well thats just epic still allowed to server jump like instant gratification chumps such as the op hmmm thats not so epic hoping for a fix soonish take ya time put it in right because i doubt the hardcore servers will get to much in the way of server hoppers seeing its a different hive to 3rd view server.

 

Oh plus 1 for the you missed so muc lol

Yes, they are going to consider increasing the m4 spawn rate when they just decreased it, just because you asked. The m4 was so ridiculously common before. It's great they decreased the spawn rate of it.

 

Also, you missed a tonne of new things.

Thanks everyone. I wasn't sure because i had been killed and respawned, found some loot when the server crashed so i joined another one, and was back on the coast again respawned. I guess i joined a hardcore server instead of a regular server or vice versa and just didn't realize it.

[SyL3X 51]

Welp, I started this topic to comment the changes that I am concerned not a full review of the update. So, you buddies are the ones who missed much. Deal with it. ;)

 

Gotta agree with Clint:

Shotgun seems to be a rather rare weapon to find to. Iv only found one in the dark so fare but its one hell of an effective weapon against zombies. Im not going to even bother to cut off the barrel for range purposes mainly.
