☣BioHaze☣ 7337 Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) I have never ever found red berries. Do you mean just while picking them or finding the bushes? There are bushes that resemble the berry bushes from more of a distance but after a while I was able to tell those apart fairly well too. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I didn't get sucked into this patch very much. I was able to get fully kitted with AK and a whole mess of good stuff pretty easily. I saw so few infected that playing exterminator wasn't too appealing either. Eh, I should log in, for science.

barnabus 1708 Posted June 6, 2015 I have never ever found red berries.Serious? The bushes for the red berries are darker than the bushes for the blue berries. They are almost always co-located at feeding stations too. Pretty much any feeding station in the Three Valleys area has these bushes right next to it. You have to keep trying though, sometimes it takes a little while to get berries. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a_ruttle 199 Posted June 6, 2015 Anyone else find that loot isnt respawning anymore 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Demonica 311 Posted June 6, 2015 I too believe that loot re spawns very sparsely if at all. Try up north though, sometimes there's where the gettin' is good ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BleedoutBill 1636 Posted June 6, 2015 I have never ever found red berries.The medium size green bushes give blue berries. The medium size golden / red bushes give red berries. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Try up north though, sometimes there's where the gettin' is good ;-)Assuming that things are spawning, the CLE doesn't seem to be keeping up with the extra server load, since they shut down a lot of the servers and herded us all together. I made it as far as Kamensk last night and I still wasn't finding anything useful. I'll try a different server tonight to see if that was the problem. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
svisketyggeren 662 Posted June 6, 2015 Anyone know the reason why 1st person servers are down? I know it had happend before...just wondering. Havent played for several dayz now...getting the shakes... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Demonica 311 Posted June 6, 2015 So... funny thing just happened to me. I just ran around, found an olive tactical shirt in a house and picked it up. When I took a closer look, it was damp. This can only mean one thing: Someone must have been wearing it and maybe went for a swim or something, right? Detective Demonica, off to search for more clues LOL 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Havent played for several dayz now...getting the shakes...Just because it's a 3PP server, doesn't mean that you can't play 1PP. You're definitely at a disadvantage for PVP, but since I tend to creep around in the shadows, it's not a huge consideration. I just take a few extra minutes to scan hot spots with my binoculars, before I enter. EDIT: A lot of 3PP servers are down, too. They are obviously doing load testing on the servers / CLE.

Demonica 311 Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) You're not alone! Yeah but why in the name name of Zeds is Kamenka such a huge hotspot all of a sudden?? I just wanted to grow my pumpkins in peace, and all of a sudden there's a guy having a fire party at the water pump, and that was with 8 people on, next thing I know I find a damp shirt in one of the houses in Kamenka on another server...Where are all these folks coming from? Is there a nest of them somewhere? ^^ Come on people, dis mah town, you weave me awone now! ^^ Go find your own pumpkin patch! Grrrrr!

-Gews- 7443 Posted June 6, 2015 If you look at the varying height of my arrows, you can see how much relevant drop there is when aiming at a target that far away. My skill at making the arrow go straight shows incredibly well here, but also by lack of experience with the new flight range shows in the variance of the height. I had to put the bottom of the circular reticle basically near the top of the door, so there is still quite some drop. It may be an improvised bow, but maybe it's a great piece of ash wood? Well, I checked, my suspicions were correct. Hyper speed! Velocity increased to 328 ft/s for composite and bone arrows... 164 ft/s for improvised arrows. Which is an impossible speed for even a powerful recurve or longbow, that's as fast as modern compound IBO speeds. Improvised bow should be sub-150 ft/s. I get they want more people using the bows but it seemed appropriately shitty to me, just needed changes to the mechanics. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get they want more people using the bows but it seemed appropriately shitty to me, just needed changes to the mechanics. Hopefully they will figure out how to tweak the system. A bow of a given type should fire with a certain strength, and depending on the arrow should behave uniquely (however they should). You're right though, the current barrier to bows are the cumbersome nature of collecting arrows, storing them,, crafting them, and reloading them. Making stacks craft-able at once will same some senseless inventory time, and a quiver will solve the ridiculous inventory problems with them like storage and reloading.

My main wish for bows is to have more fluid movement instead of being rooted in place and a better-feeling drawing+aiming system. Whatever occurs I don't think this improvised bow should be effective more than 25 meters. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BleedoutBill 1636 Posted June 6, 2015 It looks like the devs may be doing some research for the base up in the NW corner of the map. (1 of 5): http://twitter.com/PeterNespesny/status/607254504707379201 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mizzou60 81 Posted June 7, 2015 Check out my zombie conga line. The most zeds I was able to pick up was eight before they started wondering off at the back of the line. I started at Novo and marched ‘em all the way down to the Solnichniy before I died of starvation. Funny thing, I was on a full server and had several people attempt to save me from what they thought was a helpless bambi being swarmed by a horde. I would have to shout out for them not to hurt my pet zombies. Some guys would even line up next to me and jog alongside laughing at what I was doing. I would tell them that this is my squad and we’re out on maneuvers or that these were my family members before the apocalypse and I love them too much to separate ties. The bazaar thing is that no one killed me!! I stayed at jogging speed for about two hours up and down the streets of every town I came through and only one guy even took a shot at me (he thought I was bringing them towards him). I told him “stop shooting” and after following me for a while and observing at a safe distance he ran up alongside and kept pace for a bit then went off about his business. I never geared up and was in my fresh spawn outfit the whole time which is probably why no one lit me up. Either that or they were afraid if they put me down then they would have to contend with the horde. This was defiantly one of the best social experiments that I’ve done. I must have come across 10 different random survivors and besides the one guy, no attempts on my life. Talk about strength in numbers. BTW, this many zombies make a $hit ton of noise. Weird thing is that there were hardly any zombies about. It took a long time to round up these few. I’m going to try this again when 57 goes stable and see how many I can recruit and run thru Electro and Cherno.Does anyone know how often U.S. servers restart on 57? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
