Experimental Branch: 0.47 Discussion

[doctajones 123]

want to play on EXP today but if all the servers are still unreset and all the towns picked clean...guess ill go play some more baldurs gate....sigh

Hicks said that experimental servers were resetting.  However, he failed to mention the interval. Could be a 24 hours for all we know.

In about 20 mins, it'll be the 24 hour mark for Uptime on the Exp Branch Servers. Do you think they'll reset at exactly 24 hours? Does anyone have a lclue when they ussually reset them?

it's been different each update. they are obviously testing keeping servers online for 24hrs now. previously in exp 4 hours was the max i had to wait and often it's restarted every couple of hours.

im seeing "some" servers reset, but they are packed. it looks like that 100 pop server is resetting normally

yep they'll all be full from 3pm to 5pm then empty for the next 18 hours.

That's how I remember it as well, but I haven't played Exp since 0.45, didn't know if this was commonplace now. Been hunting for the AK 101. It's near impossible to find, at this point I've given up on finding someone who has one, and am trying to wait for restart, that's my only hope.

This morning I uninstalled DayZ, then reinstalled it.  I have engaged at least six zeds with the splitting axe and have had no LMB issues.  I am not claiming that the two are related, I just know that doing this appeared to have solved that issue for me.

 

Update---Still working good, no issues with the LMB.

You're welcome to have mine. Currently I don't have ammo for it, and am just not interested. Happy with my trusted Mosin. PM me if you wish.

If you're not interested i'll give it to someone else.

[barnabus 1708]

This is great.  Now I feel like I am surviving, stuff is really scarce and DayZ is no longer the unrealistic Military Surplus Big-box Super Store it had become.  I am also finding things in odd places, an FNX Red Dot sight in a Hunters Pub, a PSO scope in a railway maintenance shed, weird.  

 

My HC character has a Sporter with a 30 round mag, it's all I could find, been looking really hard for a sewing kit and finally found a can opener.  I love this.  Seriously, this is more like survival...

DEVS....THERE IS NO LOOT IN THE SERVERS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT F&^$%) RESETTING>>>>

[muzzlehead 15]

I spent about 2 hours on a hardcore server and saw nothing but flashlights and running shoes.... thank god for berries and wells ;)

[Bororm 1156]

Is the shotgun fixed on experimental does anyone know?

tested it on hardcore, has not yet been fixed

[alldaypk 63]

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

 

Put it in suggestions, this is a great idea

[alldaypk 63]

I'd love to know how they are going to deal with someone going to a town, looting it and then coming back when respawning happens. Gamers are going to game anything. If you make it an hour before things respawn then gamers will just do little circuits e.g. nwaf, lopatino, vybor, veresnik, maybe stary and then back to nwaf. It'll be interesting to see how they solve the issue.

 Zombies, endless, respawning hordes of zombies

[alldaypk 63]

Looting for hours and i was glad to find a sporter, but when i couldn't find ammo i got angry and threw it at a tree. Later i was to find a full 30 round mag.

[Ziad 34]

Shotgun is borked?  That explains why I died, twice - and why I can find shotguns and shotgun shells when I can't find anything else.

 

D'Oh!

The paradigm has changed, the dayz of not getting attached appear to be over, it is now time to get attached to your gear and to husband your resources.

I was on that one yesterday and just could not take all the noise, it was zed grunts and groans, reloading, eating, soda can pops, ammo consolidation noises constantly

I have been purposly stock piling gear and supplies in anticipation of this :) 

 

will be funny when all the Berenzino PVPers find they have ruined all the decent items in the area and can do nothing by box one another for pvp...

I got killed yesterday while fighting a zed, I was fighting ok then I was afflicted with the LMB bug.  Could not hit back or shoot after that, tried to get away but bled out.  Had a nice AKM with a 75 rnd drum.  Damn hoppers.

[agamingcouple 28]

Anyone have a 5.56 magazine, I need it for a video.  will give credit and willing to give an Ak101 after im done testing!

I had the LMB issue last night. I was axing zombies easily, there wasn't any lag so I could actually time the swing to when the zombie would get in front of me and instantly kill it. But then while picking apples (couldn't find food except one banana) I heard a zombie behind me, it was trapped in a building and glitching through it somewhat, so I decided to test whether I could hit it since it was sticking half way out, I hit the wall once and wasn't able to attack again, so not sure if that situation might have caused LMB to bug.

Settle down please.

 

You want to air your grievances please do in a mature manner.

 

Otherwise the wind will blow you that way >>>>>>
