Exp Update: 0.56.127TheBeast.

[freethink 984]

Seems a bit pointless without infected especially once you are past the initial survival part. I am looking forward to the hysteria when this hits stable though.

45min in empty city (zelenogorsk) and nothing is spawning , does the auto respawn enabled in experimental ?

It does I'm pretty sure (as loot respawning is bein worked on so I can't see them turning it off on experimental) but it's super finnicky and no one really knows the "rules" of respawn because it's always changing ... I would suggest leaving that town and returning in a day or a couple server restarts and see if anything starts to respawn ... Going on to catch some quality dayz time before work , wish me luck all !

the destroyed jail house in turovo is still spawning loot  :|

 

As if it was still a jail house (is stuff floating in the air?) or is the loot spawning in the ruins as if it was just spawning int the ruins?

its spawning in the ruin, something is floating but all can picked up.

Does the loot respawn now ? , cause I don't see it ,when I stay in one area (empty city) for a long time and no one is looting, the empty city stays empty , nothing valuable respawn it's only the what's left over : clothes and other useless stuff , should we loot all city including the useless stuff to force respawn everything ? and let's say if there is 1 SVD per the whole map and someone took that SVD , does it respawn ? and when ? if not then why ? should we report this in the feedback ?

 

Wait... what's useless? I guess wrenches aren't good for very much but I have a hard time thinking of anything that is actually useless. Also, probably not a good idea to obsess over getting the SVD, I imagine you're just going to get frustrated as the whole point is that they won't be super common. Maybe you'll get lucky and some douchebag that has one will try and kill you with it and you can take it off his corpse.

Things do spawn but it's not something you should try and anticipate. You're better off to keep moving I think. I'm pretty sure player presence impacts the spawning of items to frustrate exactly this sort of farming behavior.

hey guys was the hunting scope been nerfed? Cant seem to zoom in with it at all? Anyone else found this?

 

Sorry if this has been mentioned but its a very long thread....

I haven't found the hunting scope at all, so can't really say.

Junior and I did 2-3 hours and had way better performance t'nite considering our connection in general. We'er still on AUS 0-2 because once your ping is at 600+ it doesn't matter where the server is. Those guard house buildings with the porch are something, no smersh combos but we both had hicaps withing minutes of spawning. Carried on with our recent good interactions meeting an Ausie passing through neaf and just exchanged small talk before going our separate ways. Was a good exercise in self control for junior as we had complete control of the situation and acted civil even though there's no infected to put out of their misery with our bullets.  We've got guns and decent clothing now and logged just outside where the animals should be spawning so hopefully we can find junior something to shoot tomorrow if there isn't another wipe.

 

I have to say I'm more than a little jealous. My daughter is only 4 months, I doubt very much DayZ will be a thing by the time she's the age of your kids. :(

I want to play with my doughter too. Maybe in 12-13 years dayz will be finished   :)

I have a friend that plays Arma 3 and some other games with son. My father cant even use mobile phone!

[97ADU Doug 103]

Well if anyone finds a hunting scope, let me know if it zooms for you.

 

Thanks :)

Have the zombies been pulled again?  I have crossed the map on Northeast 02 (First Person view) and have not seen one Zombie.

[BleedoutBill 1636]

Had an awesome 2 hour session this morning.. Few server disconnects but other than that, fine.. Logged in up in the NE unnamed village, looted that, headed down to Dobroe where I found a Repeater and some bits and pieces.. Found some rope so decided to ditch the Repeater for an ashwood bow and some custom arrows.. As I was looting Karmanovka (full of stuff by the way, including a nice hunting jacket!) a random Italian dude came wandering over saying hello.. I was wary as he was armed but we got chatting, I gave him some beans and he proceeded to make a garden patch and grow pumpkins for us! After 20 minutes of discussion and growing we went our separate ways with a backpack full of pumpkin slices and full bellies! Bloody awesome, I truly love this game at times for the randomness, and after being KOS'd twice last night it has restored a bit of my faith in people!

Off and onwards, skirting Novo and off to Nagornoe now I think! If you see a dude in a green hunting jacket and black dry bag, say hello :)

I had a very good session last night. The server (75 slots) load was light (not too many other night owls logged in) and it was very responsive, with very little desynch, or other silliness. All of the re-starts were scheduled, with ample notification. I was getting high, but inconsistent FPS, so even when the zeds aren't in the game, things still aren't perfect, regardless of the recent claims regarding player-side performance gains. I'm not bustin' balls, I'm just sayin' that we still have a way to go. I'm well aware of the possibility, that the performance increase that the devs observed, may be on an internal build and we haven't seen it in Exp as yet (let's hope).

 

The only really annoying thing that I experienced was the rags disappearing after tearing a t-shirt. Likewise, when a box of ammo is opened, that may disappear too. These issues are consistent enough though, that the devs shouldn't have any trouble identifying the root cause. I didn't use the hotbar last night and the game is pretty awkward without it. I surely will be glad when it gets immaculated up.

 

First aid supplies are plentiful at the clinics, but I haven't seen a first aid kit. I've been carrying my first aid supplies around in a cooking pot. Has anyone seen a first aid kit? Are these hospital only items now, because I don't think that I've visited a hospital yet, in this build.

 

The loot distribution is still very inconsistent. The Myshkino base is a good example. The barracks, two tents (which were side by side) and one of the guard towers had a fair bit of loot. As a matter of fact, if you are building an AK, there are about eight different flavors of all the different attachments (primarily buttstocks and fore grips) there. There was virtually nothing in any of the other spawn locations. This is a microcosm of what appears to be going on all over the map. Loot tends to spawn, where loot already exists and very little loot seems to spawn there there is nothing. I'm sure that this can not be correct, but seat of the pants, it sure feels that way.

 

I finally found a nice camo hunting jacket ... very spiffy! I like it a lot. And the cargo pants were at the bus garage, exactly where Barnabus said they would be. Cheers man, thanks!

 

I just pitched my tent. I'm going to take a nap and then plant some pumpkin seeds. There's no rest for the weary in the apocalypse, eh?

Have the zombies been pulled again?  I have crossed the map on Northeast 02 (First Person view) and have not seen one Zombie.

They were in the 666 build and then they were pulled. They were back in early yesterday morning, but they got pulled out again. The devs are trying to diag a performance glitch that seems to be caused by the zeds. I expect that we'll see a few more iterations on 0.56 Exp before it is rolled out to stable.

Once vehicle repair and maintenance are introduced, I think there will be plenty of uses for the various tools, besides hitting zeds upside the head and opening cans.

 

I agree, one of the devs mentioned that the SVD would be extremely rare. Perhaps even more rare than the Amphibia used to be.

Yup, I think that's just about right, on both counts. A distinction needs to be made also between "useful for me right now" and "useful" something can always be the latter but not be the former at any given moment. It just really bothers me when people declare things "useless" as many of those things are probably very useful to somebody in some situation.

We know how it is supposed to work, once  it is fully implemented. It's anybody's guess what's going on at the moment. If you are struggling, I would suggest that you keep moving and / or try another server. I have found a lot of variability between servers.

[Bandikoot 15]

Someone tell me how to post images (hidden preferably) and I'll dump all my screens of .56   . Seen hunting scope twice, the winchester70, the izh 18 a few times and the new fox (along with pelt and meat). would be happy to dump all my screens if someone would tell me how

It seems to me that this is how it's supposed to work. There is a nominal value that is set, this is the loot on initial startup. It's doesn't start respawning till there is 50% of that taken away (it seems 50% of all of chernarus). 50% would be the minimum setting, and it's class based not item.  

 

It seems like there is no regions to this right now, which means coast can be totally picked clean before we reach the minimum value. And then when it does get to 50% and starts respawning,  it's then unlikely that it will spawn on coast.  

 

Don't quote me on this though, I'm going off the little info Eugene posted on CLE.

 

This why I started the conspiracy theory, it seems like an event or the beginning of a world cycle (dayZero) each experimental update, we run out at nominal values, which are great on coast. The people that see minimum get nothing and say its broke.

 

Just my two cents, I love the idea, and cant wait to see what they can do with it.

Well this new .56 update has some average loot still I almost died of starvation until I went to dolina and found a random backpack filled with food. Still in dolina I found this afk guy I checked his pulse and killed him he taking out his pistol. He some pretty good stuff I chopped him and so I could eat him later. There are no zombies from what I've seen and heard.

I'm not obsessed about the SVD I don't care if I get it or not it was just an example , what I really obsessed about is the respawn mechanism it's like there are no rules and if we will move to stable with no rules then it's gonna be like the 1st part of 0.55 ( dynamic central economy ) again : loot spawn only after the new update and that's it .

Rules are certainly in place. How well they are working is the question. The answer ultimately is imperfectly but it's also hard to judge as a player, especially considering the frequent restarts of the economy with new experimental builds. I imagine the devs have a much better idea how spawning is actually working as they have the data.

[ebrim 998]

So odd thing: I logged into my 1pp/3pp exp character and she's stuck in a building, like inside the foundation. Maybe lag related to when I logged out near a building? I ate some guts to give me food poisoning but sadly I don't have any better method of suicide...

 

1pp servers seem to have been taken down. If intentional, I'd guess to help stress test the 75 person 1pp/3pp which is probably a great idea. (nevermind, they're there)
