Lol you know what would be great? restarting the servers so people can actualy find and test things... Just an idea.

Maybe they want to see how long a server goes without running like ass before a restart is necessary. Just a thought.

yeah but wouldnt it be smarter to implement respawning items before doing that? because nobody is playing right now because you cant even find food properly. And i don't think it's the same to have a empty server running for a long time versus a server with people on it doing stuff right?

[barnabus 1708]

So far;

 

Bad News >:(

 

-LMB bug still not fixed and broke worse than before, I say this because I didn't notice it too much before todays update, after the update it has been a serious issue, at least for me.   It is affecting not just melee weapons, you can't pull a trigger either.

 

-Did a northern Novo--->Zelen route and hit several (4) the crash sites along the way, didn't see one.  Doesn't mean they are not in, I just didn't see any.

 

-Wood tents are still not spawning loot.

 

-Fire axe, machete and fists seem useless on zeds now, but splitting axe is one hit if you can connect with the zed.  I can hit them with fists but will bleed out before they go down for good.

 

-Freight cars on the train tracks are not spawning loot.

 

Good News :lol:

 

!!New village is spawning loot again.

 

!!Freezes are a thing of the past.

 

!!New GUNS!

 

That's all I got so far..

 I had no issues finding food this morning when I went on Exp. Seek and ye shall find.

Yep, plenty of firewood, matches and animals around too.  Also rope and I've found more fish hooks today than all the other days I've played combined.

Or maybe they are forcing players to test survival options for gathering food (hunting, gathering and fishing).

Probably, and its been mentioned that canned food  will be more scarce.

 

So its all good, all going the way it should.

[Racket (DayZ) 59]

It's certainly been weird running around and finding little more left than rotten fruit, hats and jeans. I won't mind if final balancing leads to loot being this scarce.

Well kiddie backpacks are high luxury now. Also have seen a lot of people kill each other over apples. Its a good apocalypse but I think the game isn't ready for this level of starvation yet. (too little animals, hard to make a fishing rod, and low chances of finding apples/berries.) they should have waited until they added professional fishing rods to the loot spawn so that you don't need a axe to gain a stable source of food.

[Kaboki 62]

Im still running around Energized, hydrated and healty, so food isn't really that hard to find ^_^

I'd like a tiny bit more of a chance of finding a knife or blade of some sort for hunting purposes, otherwise I'm somewhat happy with the way things have turned out. Hopefully the team will have the data available of what's been looted and what gets left so when they do tuning and balancing it'll add this sort of feel all the time.

Luckily, I'm fully energised and hydrated even though I haven't found new food for ages. I would like to apologise, though, to anyone who may come across places on hardcore servers and think they've lucked out with finding an unlooted area due to my tendency to close all doors only to find nothing useful and end up a few minutes closer to starvation. Well, I'm not really sorry but tough break.

The farming hoe is the new fireaxe!

Well that's all fun and daisies, but I have no axe, no rope, no matches, no fishing hook, no knife, ... and I'm hungry. That's it with being a bambi and that's fine. But if there will ever be a point where you are need to gather food, fresh spawns cannot start hungry. They should have enough energy to give them a chance to get all that crap. Otherwise there will always need to be enough stuff lying around to survive without the "survival" thingies. Or how exactly is that supposed to work? And starting with a char that does not need food for hours opens a whole new can of worms...

 

EDIT: Should mention that I played last night and still found food to somewhat stay happy, just don't see how you can start hungry and are expected to hunt, ...

They always have been pretty hefty in terms of damage. Surprising too considering how ineffective the garden fork is. Nice thing is the distance you can use them at. Not so good close up though.

In lieu of finding an axe a hoe is definitely my "go to" hand weapon of choice. Albeit you can't open tins or cut wood with it.

Axes can't open can's so that's already one lost less.

Yes, they can (ha! pun!). I did it with a fire axe less than 10 hours ago.

Edit: tin of peaches, 56% if you are wondering.

strange, when I try it they can not. (pun intended.) I always have to use machetes for opening cans

[jameslennoxhood 74]

They need to add a hand spade  so that i can dig for worm's without needing to carry a full size spade taking up all my inventory space, just a thought! :-) x

Next time I'm on, I'll grab some video.

The reason I know it was working was I had a knife on me, which also opens cans, and was about to use that but saw a fire axe on the floor. I swapped the items (rather than put the knife in my backpack) then went to pick up the knife and the way the axe had spawned it was half way between walls resulting in me "losing" the knife on the floor. I was going to use the knife to open the tin as it loses less, but without it I just used the axe.

[freethink 984]

I generally use an axe for opening cans. Haven't tried in this latest patch due to not having an axe. Presume it still works. The fireaxe wastes by far the most contents when opening cans.

Good News :lol:

Yes the freezes are gone, but now I have every few seconds fps slowdowns, like pulsation. Few seconds the game is running smooth, few seconds hardcore slowdown, again few seconds smooth running, again few seconds slowdown, over and over again... doesn't matter if I am in a town or at grassland without trees. Imo worse than the freezes before :(

Very random mate lol ... But just keep an open ear and eye out for people , I'm always friendly but I always run away from people I see before they see me so I can stalk them a bit to see their true intentions , but sometimes there's nothing you can do when doosher bandits are lurking in the shadows waiting for a kill ... but on another note does anyone have a video of finding the smg/ makarov? I can't quite believe the pictures I've seen so I needs me some video .

Fire axe still works and still wastes a lot of food.
