dont go to the shore (100 pop servers)

[benri 33]

dont. just dont. i went there, wanted to kill some bandits, ended up with not less than (about) 15 bambies running after me and screaming. one russian guy started yelling to everyone that they have to share and he mentioned everything i had in my inventory (hacking?).

i ended up in the 3 store barn (red roof) near the factory in solnichny while hungry pack of bambies ran around me. it was horrible.

after about 25 minutes and 3 bambies dead someone else started to shoot at them, the poor, poor guy....

if you have a gun, DONT go to the shore on the new servers. DONT.

This game can run on 100 player servers?   You cant even use the hot key for weapons on servers with 35 players.  How in God's fuck do your controls work with 100 players?

good, only the zombies are lagging.

Sounds like a lot of fun actually!

[ref 19]

I ran in to a guy who shot me in the leg with a crossbow. I shouted some hilarious non-offensive abuse at him. He stood in front of me, shooting more bolts in to the ground. I asked how he had so many bolts. He then proceeded to drop several packs of 256 bolts on the floor. Another guy ran past and he ran after him. I begged for a stick. I crawled around for 5 minutes or so (it was night time) and he came back with a stick and a magnum filled with 256 rounds. I took them, realised I had no rags, went in to crouch mode, fired a few rounds hoping someone would come and save me (there were many, many people running around) and then I died from blood loss.

OP: Sounds like there's no Party like Solnichny Party LOL. It actually does sound like fun! I can see you running around chased by all those freshies yelling and screaming. If only exp would run better for me. I would bring Chips and Beer and a book or two to this event.

 

How many 100 Peeps servers are there if I may ask? Is it only one? Is it located in the states or in Europe?

Yeah I many people have impossible ammouts of ammo lately. I just not researched if it is done by another .pbo exploit or by third party program.

So you mean the lag is not any worse, about the same?   That suprises me.   Weapon hot keys, ambient sound glitches, items severely lagging when you move them........ This is hugely different on a server with 36 players compared to a server with 8 players.   So how is it not worse on a 100 player server?

2 servers, always full so just join a few times it will let you in. and maybe its fun to watch, but its not fun when they chase you and all you have is sks with a few bullets (m4 could do the job maybe).

only sound glitches but it have nothing to do with lag. the server works pretty well except the zombies and one - two eating delays. you have slightly worse fps but its expected. they worked a lot on the game engine and servers..

[res 373]

You can kill 15 newspawns if they come from the same direction and you have at least 2 coupled mags with 60 bullets both.

I was only on 50/50 experimental but I can tell you it sounds like there were 10 zombies chasing me and a bunch of people doing a little party with lots of food and drinks although I'm in the middle of nowhere... much more annoying than zombie and eating/drinking noises is the sound of loading guns and moving ammunition.. Not to mention it takes several attempts to switch weapons. Ping is around 50 ...

Yeah I've had a lot less of those issues on experimental even when the server is almost full, but zombies do seem too lag a little and the hits don't register very well, as in i see a zombie take a swing and get the hit effect and damage like 3-5 seconds after the zombie actually hits me.

 

 

Edit: Well the last few times i played it was like above however tonight all those issues were happening and i eventually rage quit lol, sucks because i finally found a crossbow and couldn't pick it up.

There are some massive lag spikes at times on those servers. I've even had a few "session lost" experiences on the current experiemental, so it is definitely not running absolutely smoothly, but still much better than I would have expected it do.

 

As both my hardcore and reg exp characters are fully kitted up (it is amazingly easy to do because very few players venture inland, and with the new tent spawns mil loot is in abundance) I am actually considering going to some of the spawn towns and experience death by zerg.

[Powell (DayZ) 734]

Sounds like the real zombies have come out to play

[blissandpanic 92]

Yup, they are not really dead but rather are players with the RAGE virus...much more dangerous than your average lagging zombie.

 

run man, just run!

[MagneticToast 102]

Well the thing with Zombie movies is in the end the biggest threats to survival are other people

This sounds horrible. I might cry. 

[Gekkonidae 270]

Yeah, I've noticed the inability to switch weapons when a lot of people are on the server. Drinking and eating also take forever to complete when it's like this too. Hopefully these issues are fixed.

[benri 33]

the sound glitches are horrible.. the loading gun or foot steps make me s**t myself every time (im playing alone and those sounds are scary for lone wanderers)

Yeah, well those damn lag spikes can kill, I lag dove to death a fully kitted toon right down a staircase in a Fire Station and another "fell" to his death off the cat walk in a ware house while reassembling my freshly painted M4.

Ahhhhhhhhhh.  That is why 100 works, because its experimental servers.   Remember the lag when they put the last stable from experimental to regular?
