Stable Branch - 0.57 Discussion

[aasand 92]

Really, not enough food? Please get me some rope you guys, I want to hang myself now.

If anything there is too much loot. I have found so much food that I'm almost stuffed all the time.

And I'm the kind of guy who leaves the shitty food like bacon and spaghetti. I only eat beans, peaches or dry food because those are the best to go with.

 

There is a difference in servers again. Some don't respawn items again and is probably broken, seems persistent while says not.

 

Other servers have loot-bonanza and piles of stuff everywhere.

i geared myself pretty good yesterday then runned to the NWAF to hunt some chopper crash campers. SURPRISE, no more statics choppers at the NWAF. does this mean they are spawning randomly again ? i've yet to see one

I've seen them on the  exact same places as 0.55.

oh stable how much i missed u....

 

stretch your head a bit out of the bush and hell on earth arrived...bulletts flying around your head from all directions.

 

take an sneaky look at an costal town, seing 5 naked hooligans running around like roadrunner and try fisting each others face...

 

try to get off the coast, after 500 meters...BAMM "your were kicked of the game, admin kick"...OKEY

 

next server....press connect...."you are spawning in blahblah seconds"...please wait....take the next 500 meters and, you know...ADMIN KICK 

 

time to shutdown dayz and go sitting in the sun until an new experimental update arrives.

 

have fun guys B)

So you're quitting because you had two douchey admins?  Dude, find a different server.  That easy.

i did that min 15 times, its absolutly timewasting to discuss with companies which earn their money from the serveradmins.

 

and no, i will not try it again, its in my opinion a thing which has bohemia to control not me

I played (only) 2 hours today. Spawned near Elektro. As expected not much loot, so I tested the new crafting.

Found out that you get 6 rags out of a dress! Luckily there were 2 in one house, so I crafted an improvised rope and then cut a long stick from a tree to craft a bow.

By then my mate arrived.

I killed a guy with the bow and we had to eat him to survive. Love it that it is possible now to use a stick to roast the meat.

Used bark+stick for the fire place and for the hand drill.

Great patch. Finally I can survive without the need to find anything (but rags). Can craft everything I need to survive.

Had the issue with the status, too.

I found out that it only updates when you eat/drink something and the status changes because of that.

It changed to hydrated after I drank on a well and it changed to energized after I ate two steaks.

But then it was stuck again, so I think I will find myself either neutral or hungry next time I log in.

My friend didn't get any changes with his status.

So it is not the same for everyone.

FYI, tactical bacon got a buff, its more nutritious now and the peaches got nerfed and are on pair with canned spaghetti.

Can you give me the source of this information?

There is a difference in servers again. Some don't respawn items again and is probably broken, seems persistent while says not.

Other servers have loot-bonanza and piles of stuff everywhere.

There is no respawning of items at the moment. Persistence is forced off at all servers, including the private hive.

It only spawns items when a server starts which is different than respawning.

So your observations are most likely false. I guess players already looted the spots.

And if you read his post you can clearly see that he did a coastal run and perhaps didn't even looked that good for items.

A typical run-and-gun person who can't find food because he goes to places which already has been looted and isn't looking at the right places.

After that they come on the forum and complain that there is no loot or food and they die of sarvation. Dying of starvation is in patch 0.57 impossible, unless it's a bug.

So I repeat again: dying of starvation is in 0.57 impossible, unless it's a bug.

If you die of starvation then you aren't adepting and aren't going to survive in the future on the public hive.

Great day playing for many hours on the new patch!

 

Zeds are pretty freaky now, I have not really seen to many compared to the last patch but you want to think twice about letting off rounds in towns now as every single one in the area will come hunt you out!

 

few bugs I noticed:

 

1) the status bug that has been mentioned a few times so far, it seems to get stuck and not recognize what you have taken. But when you log onto another server it will all register at once and cause you to very quickly run threw being sick and vomiting.

 

2) there is something going on with things in the hands not being seen by the game. It has happened a few times today, first I was in a truck with a gun in my hand(space in backpack for it) and when I got out of the truck the gun was missing from inventory and not in backpack. I could not interact with anything so I logged out and back in and there was the gun back in my hands. The gun is also invisible in the player model too. Has happened like that with ladders and interacting with some items. Seems to be a bit random, eating something can sometimes fix interaction issues.

 

3) a person I was playing with had a an item(can remember what but something large) hide under a flare gun

 

4) first time I spawned into the game today on this patch I had an agro zed on my butt. This also happened to the other person I was playing with. I then didn't see another zed for a couple of hours as I headed inland.

 

5) the kits reshuffle in inventory is a little annoying. I like to keep my rags handy!

 

6) had a few failed texture notices pop up in game, clicked ok on the and did not notice any problems

 

7) zeds run into shut buildings and fall into floors

 

All I can think of now but over all it is a great improvement and I really enjoyed it!

After crash our server is COMPLETELY without loot!

185.62.204.51:2302.

 

Restart don't help - still no loot everywhere.

 

Unplayable.

Persistance worked here at our server. We pitched up a tent. Left some stuff in it and restarted the server. Tent and Stuff was still there. But about 1 hour later we had a server crash and now the whole world is complete empty without any loot. Even restart won't bring it back.

There were some issues in experimental with the servers connecting to hive and there being no loot/animals/zeds etc..

The server is most likely not connected (anymore) to the master database. You should contact your GSP for this problem.

I only played a few hours yesterday as I am fighting a nasty summer cold.

 

After getting fully kitted with a rifle, sidearm, and most major supplies, I found myself in Novo.

 

I decided to check the government building to see if loot spawn was still firefighter gear.

 

Quickly it became apparent that nothing had changed there and as I made my way down to the ground floor a player with a UK accent (possibly Irish?) hailed me over direct chat.

 

I was at the foot of the stairs and only just saw the edge of his character as he scurried back behind the wall.

 

He claimed to have no ammo for his guns and proceeded to drop them on the floor as a sign of good will.

 

He stated that he was a long time player with 1,000+ hours and that he wasn't interested in a confrontation.

 

He offered food and a canteen, and I offered to trade the canteen for some ammo I had that fit his guns.

 

I tried with futility to close the door that's jammed open there and then told him to just leave the canteen and I would drop the ammo.

 

He sensed my obvious apprehension and offered to leave the building without picking up the ammo until I was long gone.

 

I agreed with this plan and made sure to thank him for being neutral before I ran out the back door and North out of town.

 

This player acted almost exactly as I would have if our roles were reversed.

 

Interactions like this feel a lot more like apocalypse and less like ARMA.

 

Whoever you were, godspeed.

[LordBlackwolf 656]

I was having good luck yesterday till some guy KOS'ed me without saying anything. I really hate call of duty rejects! I had good luck after getting killed

though. I found a mosin with a stripper clip, an ak74 with clip, another ak74 by some military vehicles near the edge of the map,  a winchester which I sa

dly lost due to sliding downhill into a pond. RIP Winchester, I will never get to enjoy you with a scope. I managed to find plenty of food and drink though

so as soon as I can find a good place to set up camp I will start surviving off the land.

[liquidcactus 719]

Whoever you were, godspeed.

Thats a cool story, no unnecessary violence. Believe it or not most of my interactions go this way.. tho i do play on a private hive.. I find i always try to make contact first more so then most people.. they will always have a gun up before saying anything but wont shoot after i try to put across a neutral and good spirited vibe to my voice and generally the outcome is good and most players offer an item.. gives you hope really ^_^

[robophant 102]

I long for them update notes

[MotleyKoop 45]

I just love how play styles change as players become more jaded and experienced.

 

Reminds me of a recent experience on experimental.

 

I had just locked myself in the Elektro police station to search un-interrupted, when I head approaching zombies and someone either role-playing, or legitimately freaked out, shouting to let them in.

 

I instructed them to the side entrance, and they managed to kill the zombie, at least I assumed, by the grunting coming over his mic in the next room. 

 

We talked about the current build for a moment, but they changed the subject to me letting them into the main stairwell. Naturally, I took to suspicion, but it also seemed like he could just be unaware of the implication.

 

He sounded a little confused when I broke the news that we would not be destined to meet, but that I was leaving them a water bottle and food. Then it was out the front doors and back into the wilderness.

thx for info. Wrote a ticket to Fragnet.

Btw, does anyone have problems with VOIP? None of the survivors talked, and none of them replied after i greet them. The fact i didnt scare the guy in the shed as i approached him  from behind saying "bu" makes me think so.

 

 

 

I can confirm problems with VOIP.  Same exact experience.  Players we've met have been mute - some suddenly start talking after a while.  Haven't experienced this before - especially on an RP server.

[fing24 36]

There are some good stories.  My start on.57 was not that good.  My first encounter I got punched and ko*d and then every thing taken from me lol.  The worst thing was if they had gone to the buildings I had just looted they could have got the same kit as me.  The funny thing is they didn't loot the police station.  If the had they would have found a pm73 and mag.  I saw them later running down the road.  Luck was on their side as my vision was blurry so I didn't shoot them for their cheek early on.
