Things I immediately noticed about today's release...

Recommended Posts

These are subtle or not in the Devblog that I've found so far. Anyone else notice anything interesting? Seems like a lot went into this release.

  1. Binoculars are back to a 1x2 slot item (no longer 2x2).
  2. Meelee has changed a lot - you need to be a lot more accurate, you can't just swing wildly in the direction of your target.
  3. Zeds seem to swarm a bit more and I'm noticing more hoppers now.
  4. Military boots are new - and they appear to have storage, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what to put in them! Nothing fits.
  5. The ragdoll effects are pretty neat, you can end up with dead people/zeds in all different positions, even kneeling like this (don't mind me bandaging myself):

military boots take combat knives. I believe this isn't new.

I've never seen it on stable before today.

Are binoculars spawning in .47?

 

I didn't see any (apart from the ones in my inventory) during .46.

Yep, they're back. Found a pair in one of the fire stations in Elektro. I missed them!

I had only seen one pair to date. It was before you were able to add the knife though, so they didn't make any difference.

 

The update notes on steam mentioned 1, 4 and 5 I know for a fact. I don't recall if they mentioned item 2 and 3 though.

Any word on heli crashes? I traded my fully kitted AK for a vanilla M4 (all plastic parts) and I need to start hunting for scopes, ammo and better parts. M4 master race!!!

I've not played much in a while, I was keen to try out the new build. Performance seems a lot better. I was in a town earlier and when I last played maybe 2 months ago the game was really choppy, but it was mostly quite stable, a few drops here and there, but much better overall.

I also found a AKM, I've been carrying a m4 for ages but never found much ammo for it. So I've ditched the m4 and grabbed the akm. I then found 2 drums of 75 mag ammo. I've not seen any animals yet.

I don't believe heli crashes are spawning at all in stable 0.47. There was a line in the changelog about dynamic server events being disabled, and heli crashes fall into that category.

Well at least you can't eat infinitely and crash the server with a splint anymore

Not sure this is where I should post this but, Stay out of the apartments eleviators to the top. I went up to the roof top and then started back down and now I am not able to get back in to the building. I have tried to use <V> to step up and I can not. I confirmed that <V> works on the room but I can not get back in to the building after assending the ladder.

I guess now with the new build its a race to find all the exploits and all the glitches to give your mosin 3 LRSs and make your guy a peaches-IV to be healthy at all times, while splitting ruined ammo into stacks twice the size of pristine ammo while using the firestation explosion to propel yourself across the map while using your infinite SKS to spray every single person in Berezino, laughing like a maniac while using sticks to repair your ruined clothes while using ruined shoes to glitch into the ground and turn into a landshark while throwing infinite flares into the ground that somehow refracts light in such a way to blind all other players on the server so you can axe them in the face with a fish for maximum 1-hit-crit damage

 

*inhale*

 

or something like that

I dont know, but i hope you guys noticed that after this patch today theres more ppl all around the map, this is something that i noticed. In 5h playing, two guys at Polana, a guy that shooted me but then saved me in Gorka, two guys that i interact with, friendly players in Novy Sobor, one guy on Green Mountain but that one i spoted only for a second and he disapeared, and 3 guys at Balota like 30 minutes ago, they were not talking to me so i had to run away and hide :) this on one same server that is full all the time

I would call that coincidence. In my 300+ hours of playing the standalone, I've come to the following conclusion: when you look for people you won't find them, when you want to be alone you will see absolutely everyone.

Any particular examples? Please don't let 7.62x39 be one of them  :P

Anything APC ammo related seems non existent in terms of ammo boxes. Clips for all hand guns seem rarer, AKM attachments seem much rarer as well as the gun. 101 clips are almost non existent as well as CZ rifle clips. Plenty of .22 ammo and shotgun ammo though. AKM and SKS ammo is allot rarer now and even yes the mosin ammo seems rather rare now.

 

Im sure i might be able to find some of this stuff at the military tents but you know im iffy about those places they can be a huge death trap if your not careful.

Interesting. Probably part of the balancing they did. I guess I'm okay with it since it skews more towards realistic now.

But it makes ACP guns virtually useless as well as anything Nato chambered. There needs to be some places you can still find the ammo ever so often.
