odin_lowe 3686 Posted August 30, 2014 I think my character is just hot blooded haha, the second i put a jacket on i'm immediately hypothermic, not fun running around with no shirt!It may be true in a way, since for some reason, my character is always cold. Even if I'm fully dry, I got a down jacket and if I'm not running, character feels a bit chilly lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

basinox 300 Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) I'm having fun with the new weather mechanics and how it effects your character, but put that aside, I haven't found anything new at all. Has anyone found the new rifle and shotgun? I tired using shovels and gardening hoe but don't see any option on how to prep an area for planting crops. Is it working? Anyone found the finger-less gloves? Seen a wolf. Tried searching all of these, but it didn't come up with anything else than questions...The weather is the only thing that they currently added. Expect more in the next weeks (not the wolves, gardening, shoty, or knuckles). Next update will be probably either be on monday or Wednesday.

ebrim 998 Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) I imagine the experimental build we have is test more macro systems, like the weather, the new loot economy, etc. Introducing of weapons and smaller details can all come in with the stable patch, there's really nothing there that needs quite so extensive testing and tweaking with a larger group of testers. In other words, a new rifle isn't going to drastically change everyone's game experience but weather does, better to get the early data on the latter.

barnabus 1708 Posted August 30, 2014 I have been finding that axes are pretty much useless right now, doesn't really matter which one. I have been having much better luck killing zeds with the Hoe. It seems to have the longer reach needed than the axes at this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've avoided the Fireman's axe due to all the complaints about it though!The axe seems to do ok for me if I can get behind the bastards, but if they are in front of me, no matter how close I get, none of the old aimpoints are working for me. It's making me nuts I tell you. I tried hitting a hopper between the sholder blades, missed him completely, all that really did was agro him. When my aim point was between his ass and his feet I got him. If I use the hoe it's three hits, I hit them twice, they hit the ground. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jubeidok 495 Posted August 30, 2014 Anyone been on Southwest 4 in and around Svet recently? Mad loot piles everywhere, it's ridiculous. Anyone know if this is just a natural occurrence or forced through some exploit or hack? Are EXP servers BI operated or privately operated? One upside to it though, is that it didn't seem to be affecting my frame rate, and having the shelves of a little kiosk packed with product is how I feel it should be at the start of a servers lifespan. Then as time goes on and people die, spawn, die, spawn and so on, the shelves get emptied over time. The only prob with that is how do we determine the lifespan of a server?

You'll get out. I have kinda noticed a lack of "server restarts in 5 minutes" warnings lately. If you see that, your time is best spent finding a good place to log off. I have been making a camp fire and logging off in 1 story buildings so I avoid logging back in in bad weather. Avoid logging out in the tool sheds that are close to railroads, you'll come back in them sticking half way out the floor as axe bait.

I was fully armed and had tons of loot. I spent ages trying to run at walls and jump to see if I can get out. I then started firing through the walls to try and get attention and used up all my ammo. I decided the only way to solve it was starve myself so I dropped all my food. I then decided to try once more and aimed for the bit where the steps lead up into the building. If you judge it right you can jump out through them and I was free! I was just celebrating my success when I realised I had wasted all my ammo, and all my food and drink was now in the foundations of a building I couldn't reach! :lol: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DropBearChick 1216 Posted August 30, 2014 I think I might know why there's heaps of loot everywhere. I think it might be due to the global economy they've been experimenting with, and since there only the 40 odd servers the values for the amount of items spawned is quite largest so we've seen excessive amounts of items spawned.

ebrim 998 Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) Anyone else noticing lots of random explosions? I was on Central 0-4 in the West and would hear a big boom, then a little while later another and another. I don't think it's grenades as over the time I heard them I was moving south at a pretty fast clip. As in, the period I was hearing them took me from north of Zelengorsk all the way south to the coast. It could also be gas stations I suppose but it just seems odd that they'd be following me south. I guess it could also be explosion phantom sounds? Edited August 30, 2014 by Ebrim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it might be due to the global economy they've been experimenting with, and since there only the 40 odd servers the values for the amount of items spawned is quite largest so we've seen excessive amounts of items spawned.Some houses have just been spawning loot up the walls, like stacks of clothes and boots and the like, while sometimes entire villages have had like, a sporter, some tuna and a wrench. I've also yet to find any weapons are ammo in police stations in .49 which is pretty annoying. They need to do a bit more experimenting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The way I got out (and got out on different occasions) is to log out of the server and log back in (same or different server), while the textures start loading you can usually sprint out through the walls. Edit: it may take a few attempts. Edited August 30, 2014 by SAK 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daniels 19 Posted August 30, 2014 How does persistence work at the moment, I want to make a camp in a house but everytime I place down anything that can store items (i.e backpacks, cooking stoves/pots) all the stuff inside disappears, I've put a camp fire and some other stuff on the ground up in the woods but I haven't checked on it, its been about 5 hours, like 2 restarts when I was on cuz server was bugging a bit, probably more.

charlesnett 0 Posted August 30, 2014 confirmed .49 still has invisible player hackers. i have been killed 2 times by them in the last 2 days. this should be a priority bug since it is almost impossible to kill an invisible enemy no matter how bad they suck. I have been killed more times by hackers aka script kiddies than legit players since i started playing Dayz. I love the game and am hopeful for the day when i am killed more times legitimately. Keep up the good work with developing the game but please spend some time on getting rid of some of these exploits... the same ones seem to persist build to build.

If you're hacking, you're not actually playing the game, you're just screwing around for the lulz. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
