First experiences in .49

[hotcakes 348]

Okay, so everything gets wiped. Time to play DayZ: Frontier Edition.

 

Spawn between Berezino and Rify

Go to Rify and grab a down jacket

It rains, wondering why the fuck I'm cold/freezing with a jacket on

Run to Svetlojarsk

Get a a tac vest, new set of clothes and a hard hat

Find food in random places

Find an SKS, no ammo in town anywhere

Ready to move west, a guy spawns right in front of me

I mike tyson him, steal his AK101 and shoot him in the head

Ez-come, ez go.

 

And is it me or do churches spawn with doors closed now? I thought their gimmick was always being open to strangers?

 

 

[freethink 984]

doors are random

[odin_lowe 3686]

Doors are open and closed randomly at server restart. You were getting cold because you were wet/soaked. Down jacket only warms you up when you are dry. You need either a raincoat, or a gorka jacket to keep you dry. Also, there's currently a glitch/bug where when you are "over" water (docks, the Rify shipwreck, etc.) you get wet/soaked anyway.

Is it just my bad luck or are magazines and weapon attachments now much more rare? :-)

Was at NWAF and didn't find a single magazine or attachment, not even the badly damaged attachments. But... I found 1 million boots... 2 pairs per hangar. :P

I found a pu scope and a couple of long range scopes as well as a compensator in those storage units/garages (with the red doors.) I've found magazines in barracks mainly. I presume the tents at nwaf are still the best for finding attachments for the akm but I haven't been down there.

 

Haven't seen any sks ammo any where outside military locations. Seen plenty of mosin/shotgun. Also it seems like magnums are back!

Thanks, so it seems I just had bad luck. The loot in the tents was very strange too. In one tent were 3 canteens... but also not a single Magazine or attachment in the tents.

So I will risk "my life" again tomorrow, maybe I have more luck. ;)

And a zombie just fucked up two layers of clothing. Slightly pissed.

2 layers is bad :-(

btw. I hate it that vests often are damaged by one hit...

[blacklabel79 949]

not hard enough.

 

gearing up is still too easy ....

 

Find myself stuffing vests in vests in backpacks and stuff....only because i need fresh clothing :D

 

that ok..eventho...unrealistic and i hoped they fix/rework the stuffception thing soon enough. I shouldent be able to have 2 raincoats with stuff inside gorka pants..i really..shouldent...Or 2 high cap vests in a high cap vest all full with stuff...

It whould be good if they whould  part the slots in 1x1 1x2 2x2 4x4 2x2 in backpacks or 2x1, 2x1 in cargo pants ect.

Spawned in Berezino.  Been running round looting up but where my last character looked like a Delta Force operative, this character now looks like a golfer with an ax and a child's backpack.  Got soaked in the rain and I think I'm dying of hypothermia.

[hotcakes 348]

Some time west later and I'm hilariously geared. Dunno what I want to do this run. 

 

[hotcakes 348]

in other news the maska helmet is shit at ballistic protection

 

maska + visor = 0.85

ballistic helmet = 1.5

 

i dropped my ballistic helmet when i found my maska lol

[Zombie Milkman 167]

I'm pissed off.  I was practicing my zombie caging skillz and had a zombie pursue me up to a second floor.  I expect him to come through the doorway, at which point I will run by him, down the stairs, and close the front door to the building on his zombie butt.  But not today Mildred, no this zombie glitches THROUGH THE WALL next to the door, and get this, I only see his upper torso because he is coming halfway through the floor!

 

What the hell?  This threw me just long enough to allow him to get the 20' long range zombie strike on me. >(  Pissed?  You betcha.  I still trapped him but that's the worst glitch I have seen yet.

This one has is not new with .49

Hell pretty much every zombie to ever follow me into a police station goes Black Knight on me

Food, I agree with you. 

 

But clothing? No way should that be hard to find.

 

How many people lived in South Zagoria before the SHTF? Let us lowball it and say 50,000 people. That would equal, at the low end , 150,000 different complete outfits.

 

Let the clothing be damaged, with appropriate loss in insulation, yes. Let some of it be ruined! But don't let my character freeze to death on a sunny Autumn day because he couldn't find a sweatshirt in ELECTRO. AKA the 2nd  (or 3rd, comparing Novo and Cherno) most densely populated urban center in South Zagoria.

-accidentally melted my face off and had to deal with very blurry screen until I figured out you can turn it off

-opened a can of beans in an upstairs room while my inventory was full. my legs broke but luckily I had a morphine

[hombrecz 832]

Went with buddies to NWA. Looted tentcity and spotted 3 players moving towards us.

Waited for them to get closer, opened fire and I ended headshoted O_o.

Buddies eventualy got all 3 of them.

 

Another life, spawned Cherno (hooray).

Looted some stuff, found shotgun and some ammo for it.

As I was leaving corner shop, got ambushed by 2 black gentlemen (they started shooting me from behind but luckily missed me).

1st one I wasted with 2 shots, he even did not manage to fire his magnum. 

Second managed to hit me 2-3 times with CZ75 pistol and I went to coma.

To my surprise I woke up after like 10 seconds and found the bandit dude bandaging around the corner (guess zombies had something to say about shooting). 

Needlessly to say, I shot him twice which was the end of him........and than, after like minute, got "no message received" O_o.

 

So all i all, love it so far. LOVE that folks are back in Cherno / Elektro!

[BugZ (DayZ) 49]

hmm nice bike.

[JPWiser 251]

hmm nice bike.

Is that a huffy?

[BugZ (DayZ) 49]

0.49 All about this.

Annoying

 

[Tolispro 7]

I found 2 SKS'S,3 double barell shotguns,2 magnum's and 1 pistol in 3 hours gameplay.I think finding a gun is easy thesedays or I got lucky/good spawn locations(When I bought the game in july,I had found only a mosin in my first 10 hours of gameplay)

Yep.

 

I'm currently carrying about 5 pairs of cargo pants, just for the extra storage you get. They're like Protector Cases, except that you find them everywhere.

 

If it's a deliberate change to allow you to carry clothing with items in the pockets, then it's a very, very bad idea.

[Mookie (original) 799]

FWIW, I found it harder to survive as a new spawn - possibly because of my spawn location, miles from anywhere. Eventually I starved (first time ever). Then I got naked Vybor spawn, immediately found a pristine compass and headed to my ol' favourite locations.

 

Is it just me, or does it seem harder to close doors?

 

I do think I'm gonna have to give up on finding an M4 for now though, which is a shame.
