Experimental Branch: 0.48 Discussion

[way455 40]

I keep getting "Bad version, server rejected connection" when I try to connect to any .48 server

 

*edit* 

Figured it out.

Occasionally I have exited the server and left the computer at either the menu screen or server list and when I get back I find that the gpu will be at 100% usage and quite hot, hit 80C once after several hours of AFKness. In game the card rarely gets to 100% load but the server list does? Anyone else have this issue? Card is a 780 ti Classified and it is overclocked and overvolted, at least I know its stable lol.

2017 style loot for the win like always 

[way455 40]

Well that was a tough few hours... like a few others have said, no food. Plenty of pants, and flashlights. If only I could eat a weapon cleaning kit or a sewing kit. 

 

I will try that again in a week maybe.

So is the planed release for 0.48 tomorrow which is 8/6/2014????

Loot spawn is not working very well.  Took awhile to get geared. Hard to find anything. Not sure what to do. Playing BF4 again if that tells you anything...

On the server I played on today, loot was sparer than on stable 0.46 but findable, food was plentiful. Green Mountain and Vibor still show signs of heavy loot cycling - or tries, don't know what works currently. Obviously loot spawning will need tweeking.

 

There have been some desyncs when killing zeds and a deer, I was able to run up to the deer and hit him with an axe again and again. It took about 20 seconds and then all hits registered at once.

 

I had no rifle with ammo the last times I played exp so I did not even realise that we now have a sprinting with raised rifle. Now if we get a sprint while aiming in addition to the waddleing, we might get somewhere. But the sprinting with raised weapon is a little too slow for my taste (compared to normal sprinting) and the movement of the rifle (mosin) a little too extreme. Nevertheless I see development and potential there. Yeah!

Just finished up a 2 hour session, on a run from the North East corner to South West and stopped just West of NWAF.  Canned food was scarce, but obtainable.  I was surprised to see some of the smaller towns had buildings un-looted. Typically those buildings previously had nothing, but they now seem to have a can or two of something.  I passed through NWAF, checked all the major stops and found an AK101 on top of the lockers in the control tower.  That AK I left initially until I found a 30 round mag. The mag. description stated that it was for an AK weapon type only to later learn that the mag. was of the 7.62/39mm variety.  Now I'm carrying the AK in hand with no ammo for it.  We will see what happens, but more than likely it will end up under the next bush...

so u guys think we will get a new update tonight on exp with improved stuffs?

 

I am hoping for :

 

1. New loot spawn system that is much harder to exploit

2. degradation of persistence objects so that they despawn after they are ruined and discarded for more than 1 hour

3. New Helo crash sites.

4. fix zombie hit box

5. fix clothes getting ruined every time a zombie hits you (would be happy with a Pristine to Worn to Damaged etc. just not straight to Ruined)

6. New stuff (really like new items even the seemingly useless ones)

4. Agree but it seems most of the issue is already fixed in .48 vs .47 to me

5. Funny I noticed the opposite since I came to .48 that my clothes instead slowly degrade from pristine to worn to badly dmged etc...If it isnt pristine it is ruined IMO so I normally replace it anyways

6. Shucks half the new items since patch .45 have not been in game since the helo spawns are not working (Nades, RAK, SMERSH vest) I would be happy just to finally use those 

[RTMiata 4]

I think I have read others having difficulty with melee not just me. Easy from behind but a pain if they are coming to you. It does seem that items may deteriorate over time but I am mainly talking about getting hit by a zombie which instantly ruins your shirt or pants and every item in them no matter what the original quality was.

Nades are older that .45, SMERSH vest have just been added in .48, and raks are just rare

Melee still shit here, have to lmb spam and pray for the best. In older versions I could actually aim and hit only in the head with the first hit, it's not better then .47 and melee simply don't register how it should (the visual clue given by the attack animation).

Version 0.48 but still game buggy like when first alpha relased.

 

 

 

trying bandage myself = handcuffed animation and fall on floor

 

trying hit with pixaxe to another player= you cant hit.

 

In novo when you run in to house from backyard = your feet getting under floor

 

Using blaze double rifle = ammo buggy

 

Trying escape in house and close door before zombie get in =Zombie stil hitting through door or wall whatever.

 

Drink some water from canteen = you falling on floor and sometimes even y o usee drinking animation you failed to drink.

 

Wanna some berry search for berry- You never get red berry

 

And a lot of rubberbanding and desync

try a ashwood stick. your hit chances are increased and the visuals are actually accurate

2 this features is implemental on experimental? this is beatifull features :D !

[barnabus 1708]

I dunno about you dudes and dudettes but I am going through shirts like crazy. Seems every melee with a zed leaves my shirt in tatters or ruined. Had another make ruined in clothing along with the magazine. Now I have two mak mags and no pistol. I don't even bother with vests and shoulder holsters anymore, that's just begging for ruined shit.

[skypig 139]

melee is not broken... aim for their dick

[Super_Duty 466]

This has been my experience also.  Pristine - Worn - Damaged - Badly Damaged to Ruined.  If you have a sewing kit you can maintain at worn for the most part.  Even when worn, there appears to be degradation that occurs and by using the sewing kit it seems to restore to what I guess you could call "barely worn".  However, if you get caught in a corner with Zed's, watch out, your gear and ego will take a beating.  I don't mind this so much honestly, though I may whine about it when it occurs but that is part of the game.  I would like to be able to repair vests however, which at the moment, the sewing kit does not do.  Maybe I should try using duct tape...lol.

The future. Or on any unofficial site with a changelog like Dayztv or wiki

[alsmir 255]

Yesterday I decided to check out the experimental:

 

Attempt 1.

Direct approach. Spawn next to a town, run in. Can't find any loot. Hopper zombie attacks. Raise fists and give him a beating. Nope. Can't aim properly in h2h combat. He keeps jumping through me. Eventually after about 10 hits to the head he dies. I die, before I can bandage. kk

 

Attempt 2.

Sneaky. Spawn next to some village. Crouch, stop and try to figure out where to go first. Notice zombie aggro about 200m away from me. Yup, he saw me. Run. Zed decides to persue a nearby deer. Yay. Slowly, crouch walk into town. More zombie aggro out of fucking nowhere. First hit - bleeding. kk

respawn

 

Attempt 3.

Gimme some wpnz!

Spawn next to a city. (Btw what the hell happened to spawning in the middle of a forest? Players too dumb to survive in such situation?)

Firestation in front of me. Jackpot! Charge through zeds. Grabbed a crowbar. WTF is wrong with melee!? Can hit shit. Hopper zombie keeps running through walls.

Zombies punch me to death while I fcking struggle to figure out what I'm hitting with melee. kk

 

Eh, any hotfixes soon?

Near to where I have made a base I have stashed a couple of small bags where I keep extra food. supplies and spare clothing. Each time I return to the server there are more items of clothing. At last count i had 6 pairs of Winter pants and 4 pairs of Black cargo pants. They are all a replica of the first one, ie the Winter pants are all worn and the Black cargoes are pristine. I have an AK101 there too (cos no ammo or mag) but it hasn't duplicated.

[mrtopbanana 1]

Melee hotfix for exp. nxt week, as they called it.

(Stable 2 weeks)

My EXP hardcore char is stucked inside a wall now :(

 

Well i have seen guys, who look all the same.

They was 4 guys and all same weapon, same clothes and so on.

They also duplicate ther stuff.
