Exp Update: 0.57128035*

For some reason I think that would be a lake trap ) not an ocean trap.

He probably forgot to bait it. Those trap require bait. (in real life anyway)

Don't know, pretty sure you can deploy the water bottle trap without baiting it (you just won't catch anything). His problem was that he couldn't deploy it. I have yet to try it myself.

Thank you both for sharing! :)

I do not want them to work through the weekend but I do want experimental builds over the weekend.... should I hold out any hopes for tomorrow??

[Demonica 311]

There's always a possibility, the Devs work quite hard, and it wouldn't be the first time they're working over the weekend. I kinda have mixed feelings about it, like I do wanna play and see new improvements, but then it's the weekend and I feel guilty and selfish when they're hanging in front of screens programming while we enjoy the nice weather ^^

 

Well, then again we also hang in front of our screens all day giving the f5 button a workout ^^

All I am currently hopped up about are the return of my beloved cows!

I think they wouldn't get into the situation so often, if the devs didn't make announcements like "possible update on the 3rd". And then announce it again every following day - of course people are expecting something anytime now. I was hoping there'd be a stable update tonight, in fact I still do hope ^^

do you hold right click while prone to hold your breath and be more stable?

Best to remap your "hold breath" key. With standard bindings, by the time you locate your target, you are breathing again.

How do you shoot a bow? I found some arrows and made a bow (ashwood stick and rope) but it wouldn't fire and I couldn't find a fire bow key in the control assignments and the stupid youtube video says I'll show ya how to make and fire a bow, ya fire it tada. grrr I clicked the left mouse button and the zombie ate my face.

DayZ - The Art of the Bow (Archery Tutorial - Part 1)

DayZ - The Art of the Bow (Archery Tutorial - Part 2)

Watch both video's, they explain shooting the bow.

And you should practice a lot, going to do that aswell tommorow. :)

Perhaps the bow isn't that effective for long range but it is very deadly for short range and is very silent. Also a very excellent weapon (I assume, haven't tried it yet) to kill infected.

I think it's best they leave this exp running over the weekend just in case then aim for stable on wednesday. .57 will be a brilliant release if they iron out the last few little issues. Also they should release as is i.e. zombies, cle etc. It seems to be working great but we'll know by monday. I've seen loot respawns (I think.)

Hey guys,

 

does anyone of you maybe know the exp server restart time? do they restart at all? do they restart all at the same time? would be nice to know, they say it is a 4 hour rotation, so i thought maybe 40 minutes ago could be a restart, there wasn't...

 

thx in advance!

 

i'm really looking forward to the release. .57 seems to be a milestone, it's worth playing the game again (thumbs up)

Noticed that you still lose your in-hand gun if you vault and are duel carrying. Easily fixed by relogging, it will be back in your hands. Tents still making items disappear after a while but a relog solves that as well. Also I saw recently that improvised rope was craftable from 2 6x stacks of rags?!? Can anyone confirm? This is an early-game changer for me because my first goal is to start fishing and this makes it a whole lot easier if you can't find rope or your snares fail/get eaten by a restart.

 

If anyone is looking to play exp up north on 3pp or start new on 1pp add me on steam (I play on any US servers that aren't western).

Ya but last night I was stepping over lots of rope. I found the burlap bag and rope and made a backpack. Found another rope and kept it for my fishing pole when I got to a lake. I stepped over three more ropes before I even left that small town. Now that we can make rope, there is no rope shortage?

It seems to be fewer infected than .55 and once again they are mostly situated in the north.

 

If I had to guess, we saw the most recent AI with initial spawn numbers down to 0.54 in size and moved to different areas (mostly large cities).

 

Edit: to say, looting everywhere seems more profitable than ever.

 

Finding a P-1 in a small red/green house is great.

 

I'm not seeing anything in the warehouses with the blue double doors, catwalks all the way around, and the small office room. Nothing. :(

From my experience the servers restart more frequently than every 4 hours (I know there is an announcement abour 4 hours, but it's just text). I usually try going by the lag ;) If a server hasn't restarted lately things like drinking or eating something will show lag. So if you keep a can in your hands for a while after drinking, lag is quite bad. If a server just restarted this all works much faster. Works on full servers.

If they restart, do they start at 9.20x?

yup,hold breath doesn't last long but ya always with a long shot. I was relaxing in some bushes for about 10 minutes while I made a sandwich and got back and the sway was much better. My point about being not as reliable is that if I had to try to kill someone, it would be 500m or less with that gun. I don't feel the same way as I did the mosin with it's range. Trying to hit zombies at 700m I would have to get very lucky to get a head shot and once they start running around frantic from being hit, they are even harder to hit.

I have been having some really nasty desync issues lately, almost always and most especially when driving a V3S.   When it starts I can tell by the sound of the engine so I will immediately let go of the W button and try to steer around anything the trucks heads for completely out of my control.  Luckily this has not had any dire consequences for me, not even damaged or ruined boots.  But it always ends with the front end of the truck messed up, flat tires and busted gas tank.  I am thankful this hasn't happened when I had a CTD, I imagine that would have been catastrophic.

 

It is more likely to happen when entering or leaving a medium to large sized town.  The latest happened when I was backing over a dead zed in Pushtovka.  Suddenly the vehicle jumped in the air, did a 360 degree turn and started heading forward at a high rate of speed.   Like I said I was fine and I managed to recover the sewing kit that caused me to stop and back up in the first place (they are so rare now.)

Wow, I am playing this game way, way too much.  I was thinking "what the hell is he making a sandwich from, when did they add sandwiches in game?"  Then I realized he wasn't talking about his in-game character.   Oi.

I shot around 7 in stary sobor. It was always heavily infected tbf. The first I just shot to try out my gun, the next 6 heard the shots.

I think if there's anyway possible to have zombies in stable .57 then they should try. 0.55 was a terrible release but I think 57 may be great. I stopped playing stable when they reverted the loot system in 55. They had to but still.

I would have been much happier, if they had fired up the 1PP servers for the weekend.

As long as you don't go outside with a shotgun in the morning or pick up random books lying around, you will be fine. I sometimes pretend I've been for a walk after I played a few hours of Dayz. Ah, so healthy ;)

Yeah it was all very confusing. They changed 1st person servers to 3rd. I can't even remember the 1st person server I was on. HAd just found 20 rounds and an sks but when I hit play today I was in 3rd and somewhere else completely. It's only testing

[darkrider400 76]

Im having so much trouble staying alive, I cant seem to find food anywhere. Not even a can of tuna or sardines. Ive checked military loot, civilian loot, every house id come upon, id check, but i can't find anything....

[HarryPotter (DayZ) 172]

What server you on darkrider?

[darkrider400 76]

I've hopped around, but I was on SouthCentral 2. Ive checked on server such as Central, East, North-East, and some of the UK servers and I still have problems finding food.
