mustard tiger phil collins 32 Posted June 5, 2015 __nice work. i think the bow was buffed in .55 before they broke it in stable. i've found that there's a small difference in range between normal and bone arrows. Bone is a one hit zombie kill while normal is two. Where did you manage to find the composite arrows? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bone is a one hit zombie kill while normal is two. Where did you manage to find the composite arrows? It' was on one of the store like shelves in a house that had a few rooms of them. You can find them on the grey store shelves that you find in the market building back room. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Demonica 311 Posted June 5, 2015 Quick question: Does anyone have an approximate range for the winchester? I finally found one and looked it up in the wiki but it says "unknown"... Thanks for the bigger fishnet pics and introduction, Looks great! But I also have no idea how to deploy it, I'll try as soon as I get my hands on some netting again :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xCAPx 349 Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) ok,I'm playing on UK10 (I think) since 3 or 4 hours. Another guy is as long as me on the server. Before it became dark the first time, ~ 25 players were on this server. So I watched the player list the last 10 min and it seems nobody can connect to it. Every player has the hourglass as loading symbole and then they are gone. Loot is on the server, infected seems good, game runs smooth the most time.Maybe it's something wrong with the connection to the server? Maybe more servers are affected? Could someone try to join this server? thx :) Edited June 5, 2015 by xCAPx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

barnabus 1708 Posted June 5, 2015 Did you happen to be on an east or UK Server? Seems those are more likely to make you crash (at least for me) No I was on Aus/NZ 0-1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Gews- 7443 Posted June 5, 2015 GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! Composite arrows are beastly now; they got a range buff. (So did all arrows but gots no bones and not done testing yet) Check out these results: That's ridiculous, no way that bow should shoot that far with that little drop. They must have given it hyper velocity. Range was fine before, it's an improvised bow. Maybe this is in anticipation of the recurve bow. In which case hyper velocity comment still applies... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Range was fine before, it's an improvised bow. Maybe this is in anticipation of the recurve bow. In which case hyper velocity comment still applies... 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?

wasnu (DayZ) 392 Posted June 5, 2015 Have you tried going into the ocean/sea and use it to see if it did anything? yes, i did, so far in the ocean until i was soaked and swimming.

odin_lowe 3686 Posted June 5, 2015 Dynamic events are currently NOT dynamic. Been like that since 0.55 honestly. I used to be a crash site hunter, but either in 0.55 stable or all the exp build since then, all the crash sites or police cars have been static. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FlimFlamm 509 Posted June 5, 2015 About the new range of the bow, there is still the problem of woeful inaccuracy with left to right sway. It might look easy in my results to make it go straight but that is the mechanic I have practiced the most. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Demonica 311 Posted June 5, 2015 According to WOBO (who I trust quite a lot) around 300 meters with irons, and I believe he said around 800 with scope I really have to find the time to actually check WOBO out on a reg. basis, I still have a lot of catching up to do ^^ Thanks folks :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bandikoot 15 Posted June 5, 2015 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). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
