Cap'n (DayZ) 1827 Posted September 30, 2014 I saw on twitter today that they've opened up some 75 slot servers in Europe & US. I, unfortunately, was kind of busy when they were testing the 100 player servers and never got the chance to experience. After spending 30 minutes fighting every other bastard trying to get in, I gave up. Sometimes it would show a slot, I'd make it, then it'd show "Connection lost". Other times, I'd just get beat by someone who was faster. I got tired of screaming vulgarity at the screen, and gave up. So how is it? Is the map overcrowded? Is loot spawning correctly? Is desync not too bad? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SniperwolfMR 153 Posted September 30, 2014 For some reason I can't the game to recognize that I want to play on experimental, h'm. 75 man servers, best news I have heard in awhile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is no experimental atm. You should be able to play on the 75 player servers on stable. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you hate random noises then I would advise against it, it is crazy loud. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scriptfactory 620 Posted September 30, 2014 I tried but the non-local sounds and invisible zombies drove me crazy. I'll stick with 30-40p servers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barnabus 1708 Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) There is no experimental atm. You should be able to play on the 75 player servers on stable. They are experimental servers, just not updated to .50 since that has not been released yet. Do the filter for it and set your ping High, you'll see SWE 1 & 2 and four stateside, two of the stateside ones are 40/40 (they are bugged, I can't open doors on these ones) but the others are 75/75. SWE 1&2 have been up since last week, they are experimenting with new hardware from what I understand. Edited September 30, 2014 by Barnabus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nails 150 Posted September 30, 2014 Just played for a bit. It's a joke to be honest. First life couldn't open doors at all and died to phantom leg pain. Second life seemed OK for a bit until I got killed through a floor by invisible zombies. Third life ran for 20 feet and got D/C from the server. Didn't want to take the time to join back after that. All of this occurred in under 10 minutes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebrim 998 Posted September 30, 2014 Yeah, the invisible zombies while at first being a crazy and ridiculous challenge start to wear on you after a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SWE 1&2 have been up since last week, they are experimenting with new hardware from what I understand. I know. But like the last 64 player servers, they can be played both from the stable and the exp branch (and viewed in the server browser as well). Just played for 1½ hour on one of them and it seemed to run decent. There was some lag when you threw things, a bit of reluctance on the switching weapons in the hot bar, but not anything worse than I have sometimes seen in 40 player servers. It was quite a chaotic experience though. It was raining, so everybody very quickly cooled off. I was lucky enough to find a fireaxe rather quickly, and as I spawned close to Cherno I headed there. I found a rope as well, so soon I had myself a backpack, and I had lit a fire under an archway close to the police station in Cherno. It attracted all sorts, mostly newspawns running for their life in their t-shirts, but a couple of meleegeared players as well. One of them tried to kill me with a stun baton, but while I did get hit by it a couple of times, he seemed only to hit my legs (pants and boots ruined), and I was able to draw my axe and off him in one strike. Another guy had found a sporter and ran around shooting at newspawns with it in the corner pub close to my fire. Couldn't have that so I went and ended his life as well. In the end I left the fireplace and a decent amount of various foodstuffs for passing travellers and took off to the North. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
randomspawn 215 Posted September 30, 2014 Yeah, the invisible zombies while at first being a crazy and ridiculous challenge start to wear on you after a while.People have been complaining about zombies being too easy since release. You finally get a challenge and off you go crying. Some people!!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SniperwolfMR 153 Posted September 30, 2014 I keep getting a "joining game" message when I try and connect instead of the "server full". Pretty annoying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barnabus 1708 Posted October 1, 2014 People have been complaining about zombies being too easy since release. You finally get a challenge and off you go crying. Some people!!!I don't think he means actual zombies, just the grunts, groans and moans you get constantly on a full server. If your head was on a swivel it would twist right off with the constant looking behind you only to see nothing. Zeds are the same as in .49, the build is the same.

That won't happen until I find a tent and get settled though. Edited October 1, 2014 by Barnabus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caboose187 (DayZ) 3036 Posted October 1, 2014 Apparently only Swedish people like 75 man servers. the US ones are dead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
odin_lowe 3686 Posted October 1, 2014 I saw Etherimp's stream earlier today, and he was in one of the 75 players servers. (3PP) A bit of lag and desync, but overall fairly stable. But it was surprisingly deserted. Svetlojarsk saw a bit of player interactions, but Novo was deserted. For a full 75 player server, I wonder where everybody were.

Killawife 599 Posted October 1, 2014 I played on the Swe one all night. Didn't notice any more bugs than usual except for the "naked and afrai in Vybor" when i spawned in a snakepit full of naked dudes. Very lively. But more people fighting for the same amount of loot made for an enjoyable experience. I did talk to some people and there were some geared guys in there too, trying to kill bambis. Definetily a step in the right direction with more players. I mostly ran between Elektro and Cherno and met maybe 15 people altogether in various encounters. Saw three dead bodies and got robbed once :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

St. Jimmy 1631 Posted October 1, 2014 The server I'm in currently is under a huge stress. Moving and opening doorsa are pretty much the only things I can do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That won't happen until I find a tent and get settled though. The 75 player servers are on the exp hive, but you can play them from the stable build installation.
