Seems to be pretty stable so far. Now every building I went had loot in it, some buildings that never spawned anything before, which is a good news.

 

Edit: Also, some items seem to be more "integrated" to world when they spawn. Like this shovel.

Found a sledgehammer. Seems like they forgot to add graphics for it though:

 

 

This is me wielding it:

Game just crashed three times in the space of 10 minutes, never had this happen this bad before. I will try and log in one more time and see what happens and will update this post.

 

Also loot is much better and so is hunger, thirsty and freezing so they are on the right tracks again, without the constant crashes i was actually enjoying the games with full servers.

 

Edit : Just CTD another two times in the space of ten minutes, not sure if it has something to do with something i have on me as when i first started i did not have any issues until about half an hour in but now it is every five minutes, big shame i wont be playing again until next patch as my game just will not stop crashing, i can't even fathom speaking to someone at the moment since i can't risk ctd half way through the conversation.

Red variant of the skate helmet.

Red variant of the skate helmet.

 

Ive seen black, grey, blue, green and red so far.

 

They've also added "ignite flare" and "break chemlight" animations.

[freethink 984]

 

Still stuff but got the others green no problem.

 

A weird thing happened to me earlier. I logged off upstairs in one of those barns with two stairs and when I logged back in there was dupes of some of my gear beside me and on the way out I saw an improvised backpack. Seems like someone duped my gear. I ran away because I heard loading but you can see I picked up the rags and partially eaten tactical bacon. (Two tb @ 66%, 2 x 6 rags)

Found the pump shotgun and the "repeater" - I don't even know what shells that takes, .357?  So I decorated a pine tree with it.

 

The welder's mask with the cowboy hat is... amusing in the extreme.

[DURRHUNTER 597]

anyone tested the damage the Rossi Repeater does yet? or where it spawns?

[Ziad 34]

Found one in a Yellow House, but that may have been dropped by another player.

This is craziness. Found a hunting backpack within a couple minutes of spawning. There's stuff everywhere, which I guess is good if you want people to go crazy and test new weapons and clothing. Also I love the new rain effects on things, just on my laptop now but I look forward to seeing it tonight on the proper computer. Oh and screwdrivers no longer open cans! Tragedy. :(

[Sharplooter 98]

Open cans with machete is very well now, I opened some canned peaches and got one time 97% and another time 93%, so almost no loss. Btw, the rusty pickup trucks (junkyard) have very much loot, probably way too much. Loot respawn on NWAF seems slow/little at least for high value stuff, but maybe it depends on server.

 

Edit: Doesn't rain just go through everything? It was raining even in big barns (saw it on the floor).

Awesome! Something we've needed.

 

 

Glad to hear everyone is having a little less troublesome go of it with this build. Gives me hope for my evening! :)

[ChainReactor 922]

Cars seem to have a good ammount of loot in general in this patch. The vans spawn civilian clothing and i found 3 packs of cereals in other car's trunk.

 

I found my M-133 in a 2-story red brick house. Also, the black log cabins with bright blue frames have a civilian weapon spawn beside the bed ( found 2 CR75 and a Blaze in those houses ).

 

So, here are my 2 past hours so far: Got a three Valley spawn, headed inlands to Msta, Staroye, Guglovo and through the Sobor's. Zombies seem to respawn pretty happily ( the Sobor's have been Z-ridden, really ) But their pathfinding seems to be fine and melee was no problem. I have to say though that i - unlike others - never had massive problems with that.

[ebrim 998]

I really like the break chemlight animation. Found my first repeater, it'll be interesting to see how things progress over the next couple days. If we have population-related spawns on servers maybe we'll see much less stuff on low-population servers, as the initial spawns get picked dry (I hope so).

Not yet but i will give it a try, thanks. I thought this might be an issue everyone was having but it seems that's not the case so i will try this.

[Xbow 362]

I hate Twinkies. Cupcakes, & Oreos how about something a little more substantial? 

 

 

But hey how about that pump shotgun :)  :thumbsup:​

[barnabus 1708]

I have yet to find a slug thrower of any type, not even a frigging crossbow, oh wait, I have a .45 with no ammo or mag.  No walking bug on 3rd person, I did have the can opener bug, (so strange that it opens cans of beans and peaches for me but not spaghetti or sardines).   My route was Berezino-Orlovets-Dolina-Polana, plenty of food and clothing, several fire axes, piles of shovels.  Haven't really decided which way to go yet.  Love the green skate helmet and welders mask combo.  Now that my character on 3rd person is watered and fed I am gonna go get me something to eat and try my luck on 1st person.

Finally managed to find me one of these beautiful beasts:

 

 

Found it in a barracks, but it contained 6 shells, so I guess it was dropped by some ignorant fool in favour of an assault rifle. I dropped my SKS and an unloaded AK101 for it and had to leg it back to Zelenorsk jailhouse where I left my old shotgun and some shells.

Dude, live a little, none that dry ass survival crapola for me , not as long as there is a functioning Hostess Bakery.  .

[Deathlove 2286]

I got something for you guys. :P

 

 

Kind of bummed on the max carrying capacity of the pump shotgun. Its only 4 rounds.

It carries 6? The description only said 4 lol.

[UltimateGentleman 355]

Hold up upon reading that changelog, hydration and energy goes down EVEN faster now? What the crap, you're already in big trouble half an hour in to a life unless you got lucky with your spawn...

[BadAsh (DayZ) 1513]

Yeah, just noticed that in the description. But it holds 6. I even emptied it and reloaded, and 6 it was.

They seemed to have changed it into a more friendly season, at least I managed to run from Elektro to Green Mountain, with plenty of detours for looting on the way, without losing my green energised and hydrated status, in fact it was only as I was leaving Zelenogorsk for the second time that I got the "Thirsty" message.
