bishopomega 30 Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Melee is not all that difficult. I do well with Axes, the Hoe and the Pick. Less so with the Pipe, Crowbar, Shovel and Bat. Never tried with the Sickle, Machete, knives or hammer? TO bad we cant use matches and the paint can to catch zombies on fire!!!

Otis.Driftwood 204 Posted August 28, 2014 18.3 mb patch, what is that? Any info? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
basinox 300 Posted August 28, 2014 FYI, the ~18MB update just now, on Stable and Experimental, is probably just the "VC 2010 Redist" depot addition. http://steamdb.info/app/221100/history/ From the experimental topic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Naberius (DayZ) 8 Posted August 28, 2014 Hey guys, I have a question about tents, if you could be so kind as to help me! I recently put down a tent with all this gear inside, not going into detail, but when I returned all the clothing inside was gone. As well as a little bit of ammo. Not the guns, not the food or equipment, just 5 players worth of clothing. Now I know if anybody is going to rob you in this game, they are going to take it all. So do the tents just not save clothing, or did some poor naked soul really just want to cover up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Avant-Garde 229 Posted August 28, 2014 have no problems with melee, never have. Guess it might have something so to with always playing in 1st person. In older builds where melee was tracer based, it was actully quite good imo, you could even develop diferent tecnics for diferent weapons in order to make them more effective. But I think that in the last build and this one we are using a placeholder, where they said you gotta aim with the crosshair, but it is wierd as fuck because it actually doesn't hit where the crosshair is, which makes me belive that they only removed most part of the tracers, and now you have to find a "sweet spot" in the swing animation that deals damage. Thanks god this is going to change on the next build and the tracer system will be back! And if it does, 3rd person will be a lot better for melee because you will be able to see the whole animation and so have a lot more control over where/how you wanna hit something. First person servers will have a bit more hardcore melee imo Melee is not all that difficult. I do well with Axes, the Hoe and the Pick. Less so with the Pipe, Crowbar, Shovel and Bat. Never tried with the Sickle, Machete, knives or hammer? TO bad we cant use matches and the paint can to catch zombies on fire!!!Sickle is gud, feels like the fists but you can actually hit shit with it lol. It saved me a couple of times!

Killawife 599 Posted August 28, 2014 Before the patch I liked the knives. Fast and effective. Now they are useless. The machete works though. You have to hit a zombie two or three times though which becomes a bit of a problem if there are three of them. Or if they are invisible, then it gets a wee bit harder.

Malkiv 1 Posted August 29, 2014 I read somewhere ammo boxes only spawn at helicopter crash sites (just like FNX and M4A1, flashbangs and grenades) now but I can't confirm first hand since I never seem to stumble upon a crash site...I can confirm that ammo boxes are spawning at heli crashes.

CJFlint 357 Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) I have played about 3 hours the last couple days. I have to say I have not seen the melee bug in .48 what so ever. Also zombies appear to be functional. This is a huge plus. Are they bug free...no but most are functional. So I will not complain about it good enough for alpha. The biggest error I have been running into is when I switch servers our try to log in. It seems time and time again I log in as a fresh spawn, and sometimes have to try multiple times until I get my geared chr to come back. At 1st I thought this was down right CHR wipes, but its not. Now I heard always wait a few minutes after a server restart...not sure wether this is whats causing this issue or not. It's weird and I'm seeing it quite abit. Persistent servers seem to be the most effected from what I noticed. Did I miss something? Anyone else seeing this? Another thing that has been really helping me a great deal is watching ping like a hawk, I'm also checking were servers are from as well. DayZ is much more effected by ping. There is no doupt in my mind what so ever that after .47 stable, I'm seeing ping related issues that are worse then ever. High ping seems to cause the game to bug out, were it didn't before .47. But as long as I keep an eye on it my game runs fairly smoothly. So I can work around it, but it is something I have to watch.

I think you can contact BI support to get a reset char in such a case, and fucking stop cheating you cheater. CHEATER!

You want a fix for your situation? Simple. DON'T CHEAT!! I know that's a new idea to you, but try it. It's more fun, for us and you. You don't deserve support, you were glitching and duping, so deal with the consequences. Just run yourself to death and be done with it. Redeem yourself from your cheaty ways, and become a legit player, die and re-gear just like the rest of us. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
