SmashT 10907 Posted March 25, 2015 It's for dying clothes, or at least that's how I've heard it explained. I can imagine it being used for kindling though, too. You should try it out! :) Where is this? http://dayzdb.com/map/chernarusplus#7.087.015 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tatanko 5591 Posted March 25, 2015 http://dayzdb.com/map/chernarusplus#7.087.015Gracias. What made you think to look there? :p By the way, that area appears to contain the new "Summer House" building from what I can see in your screenshots! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
becker44 22 Posted March 25, 2015 So I entered "validating" in the search box and came up with zero results.....So is anyone experiencing the endless "validating" loop in Steam when trying to open the game or am I the only lucky one here? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RagedDrew 209 Posted March 25, 2015 Just tested the bear trap myself, had the foresight to make a splint. just wish i hadn't put the splint into my trouser pocket. :rolleyes:*facepalm* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CornProducts 315 Posted March 25, 2015 Don't mess with zach. Found a hatchet and thought I would be all good. Nope. Definitely works if you are desperate, but keeping your distance is very important. Their ability to attack in a wider arc and increased rate of attacks makes them murderous up close. Spent probably 30+ rounds of .357 while surviving in Elektro in about and hour and a half's time. Protip: It isn't a 1 hit kill with .357 anymore. 3 body shots, 1 head shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BadAsh (DayZ) 1513 Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) The bear trap is definitely a dangerous toy to mess around with. Got injured twice when setting one up, where it says that "you were injured on the mechanism while trying to set it up" (or something similar). Now both entrances to Novo townhall has been trapped. I am just waiting a corner house for the first prey. Edit: Servers still seem to restart very frequently, I think I am currently on my 8th server within this last hour.

Seitan (DayZ) 36 Posted March 25, 2015 Not a single zombie anywhere. And "server is restarting" after like 5 min of playing in every 1st person server. ^^. That's enough of experimenting for me tonight.Oh yea and tested "drop down a ladder" on one of those garages. ----> "you are dead" :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordBlackwolf 656 Posted March 25, 2015 I really like the idle animations in the main menu! If we could see those same idle animations in game that would make it even more awesome! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BadAsh (DayZ) 1513 Posted March 25, 2015 Played like hour on 1st person server, also didnt see any zombies (far north). That server restarted once on that time. I have been alternating between 1st and 3rd person server to minimise login countdown, and all of them have restarted after 5-10 mins. I am currently between servers (think it is my 14th tonight). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BleedoutBill 1636 Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Food tins must now be made out of stainless steel. I've used an ax, sickle, hunting knife and a screwdriver on cans, but the most that I can get out of them is ~ 37%. It's no surpise with the ax, but the other tools used to be rather effective. Perhaps the devs, in their twisted sense of humor, thought it would be more fun for us to starve, even though we can find plenty of food, rather than have us find no food at all?

gsfilmer 71 Posted March 25, 2015 Have any of the other .55 updates had vehicle damage in them? I just smashed my truck into a tree and blew the 2 front tires along with the windows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadAsh (DayZ) 1513 Posted March 25, 2015 Whats with the circle in my screen? New crosshair. I think it is really good. Lots of zombies. They seem to function a bit smoother than previously, although there is still desync and rubberbanding. And they attack insanely fast and are very resilient as well. I don't know if the fast attack is intended, but their first attack always seems impossible to dodge. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
odin_lowe 3686 Posted March 25, 2015 I read a lot about the servers restarting, but I've played for about 2 hours on the same server without any restarts. 1PP. I've seen a couple of players timeout though, so that must be what's happening to those loosing connection to the server. Having a good time so far. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McWendy 675 Posted March 25, 2015 The crosshair even exists in 1p?? Yeah i dont like that...Too arcadey for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mustard tiger phil collins 32 Posted March 25, 2015 They didn't even bother to make a crosshair for the bow, its just the circle. Just when they reduced the arrow drop they make it even harder to aim. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sgtpotatoes@gmail.com 30 Posted March 25, 2015 These new reticles look pretty good, very clean. I like the menu idle animation, too. They way the character fiddles with their gun is very... Civilian-y? Like they don't quite know what to do with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
