Saw it earlier, worth a watch.

It's actually the RIS handguard the one with the rails.  Not the magpul one.

i've found an RIS handguard but it's ruined. Take it I wont be able to attach flashlight on to this?

Anyone got any idea when the pulse checking will be added to the stable build? 

Good question. I read somewhere, that the next transition from experimental to stable is scheduled within the next few weeks (because of the drastic changes in content, I guess this is regarding the new medical system, including the pulse), but it doesn't seem like it goes to stable next week.

So, doesn't seem like you will use this feature soon if you don't go on experimentel servers.

First post on the site.

 

About the RIS guard. Can't really tell, couldn't find any yet and I prefer the Magpul guard. But keep it and try it if you find a flashlight. You can't use food when it is ruined, but you can use a ruined screwdriver, for example. Maybe the RIS guard doesn't get "flaged" as unusable if it is ruined.

Yeah, I'm not sure, I tried different ways to attach it but no luck. I respawned after a server reset and lost all of my gear though. No matter! Thanks for the help!

I take it, that if I go on an experimental server, it will wipe my current stable build character?

Actually no it won't.  Two separate hives so two separate characters.  You can switch back and forth without worry of loosing your characters.  As for the RIS handgaurd i'm not sure if you can use it if its ruined, never tried.

Good, I'd just heard that originally it had wiped characters.

There was one guy, completely dominating the airstrip,

 

Really? I see no evidence of this where were all the bodies? you were wearing a bright fucking canary yellow  rain coat how could your mate mistake the "big bad bandit" for you? lol.. you did not approach from the "svletyarsk side" - it was painful to watch in all honesty..

Fair play. Yeah, it was full of errors. We did initially go through svletyarsk, up to the radio mast and looped around from the Kranostav side. The bandit killed a group of players shooting towards the hill NE of Olsha. Sorry that you found it painful to watch, but you can't please everyone eh?

Did you see the gear he had on him? That was clearly the work of looting multiple bodies.

Also, in the build up there were shots from multiple weapons and only one person left alive.

 

And you can't really say what I saw from my perspective because you haven't seen it.

 

I will upload a video later on so you can judge based on evidence.

I currently have 3 characters. 1 on Vilayer hive, 1 on Gameservers hive and 1 on the experimental branch. The thing is, you have to be careful and go back to the main screen when changing servers so you can see your character. I've seen some bugs when you got character wipes because of changing hives, and not going back to the main screen.

 

Anyway, I mostly play on hardcore servers, and if I could suggest anything, it would be to go there if you wanna play in first person. (saw from the video you were mostly in FPP, while it was a regular server, so it's a big disadvantage.)

 

Keep it up mate!

Thanks man, I do play on hardcore servers from time to time, its just what ever is available at the time really. I like third person, but don't mind third. So different hives are different characters?
