Awww, I wrecked my truck.

Driving in 1PP is still a challenge.

 

I hate that high view point when driving 1pp, I though it was a development thing then I played ArmA 2 and noticed it was the same in big trucks. Working mirrors would be nice too, with my tripple head displays I can pan my peripheral screens to see out the back window on the cab chassis model but the cargo is brutal to back up.

Damn 1pp rookies...

I probably have 80% of my time in 1PP.   But, I admit, it's much harder to drive that way.  :D

I wonder how long it's going to take for the loot piles to start crashing the servers. I've been running around on 3pp not really caring if I die and saw a loot pile outside the police station that was do big my street texture wouldn't load for blocks around it.

Won't happen so fast, your client will rather crash. It happened to me in 0.55 at Veresnik military base. The jailhouse was so full of loot that it crashed my game.

 

Well Mr. Smarty Pants get out there and find one, prove us all wrong. Other wise......

I'm not trying to be Mr. Smarty Pants at all. I'm just trying to avoid that wrong information is being spread. Edited July 15, 2015 by IMT

I haven't crashed from these or the ones we had in .54 but it's definitely affecting performance in my "vintage" tower the 500,000 books I saw at the intersection with the police station in Berizino had me down to 2 fps when I could see it on all 3 screens at once.

 

It's funny because for whatever reason the day of the last wipe I decided to play a live of the grid hermit only stopping briefly in small towns. I saw my first one of these messes the night before last I think even though I crossed center of the map east west 10 times looking for boar or a deer and went to Skalisty twice.

 

I'm really hoping for a persistence or even better a character wipe because what I saw on 3pp today these aren't making for good game play, at least in my opinion.

I agree, there is not a lot of loot to go by anymore. If needed I can provide people with food. Will be on in 12 hours so... :)

Still, without peripheral vision the visual cues that you have entered desync while driving are pretty much non existent in 1pp.  At least in 3pp I can see what the truck is doing before I get into too much trouble. 

 

Lately though, in 3pp specifically, I have been having seriously game breaking hotbar and desync issues much more than I do on the 1pp servers.  It seems to me that the 1pp servers are much more responsive to keyboard and mouse command than the 3pp servers have been in that 3pp makes me a crazed button masher, not so much in 1pp.  Can't really pin down a reason for this as I just seem to have more trouble on severs that are high or low ping 3pp and not have the same issues on the 1pp servers at all.

I was more commenting on the asshats that can get their hands on sportster and banna clips too easy too early, lol.

All playstyles are valid, mine's getting a pickaxe and a decent hunting gun and disappearing.

[igor-vk 909]

More SteamDB activity. Cross your fingers, everyone :)

We could use wipe of those terible loot piles

I support that, but only if they fix the pile of loot before such a wipe - otherwise it's no point.  ^_^

Yeah, some people may not like that but even after 10 hours of gameplay camping was still fun. Trying to survive and perfecting the camp bit by bit. It's very relaxing too,fishing, enjoying the environment and reading the forums.

I'm sure they will. Most wipes had an update prior to it. Edited July 15, 2015 by IMT

I hear ya, this is one of the least toxic OL communities I've been a part of even with me participating ;)

 

That's because the mods here don't tolerate too much shit from people. This is the best forum I've ever been a part of.

You do realise the loot piles are a result of fixing something else? If they were to just rake the shit out of our sandbox we could continue playing with the toys that work.

I like this forum/community because it's active about something which is active as well. I also like the fact that a lot of people want to contribute, especially the Experimental forum.

Are all those new players in Elektro for PvP or?

I'm far north west on the map, but I've spotted no one at full servers the last 2 hours (3rd person).

I'm scouting for random heli crash sites, but it's always fun to shadow some 'new' players, hehe.

Yep, I'd say that 75% of the players stay on the coast, 15% goes to hotspots and goes back to the coast and 10% goes actually north.

To be honest, I have never seen or heard a coastal city with no other players there. Even on the low popular servers.

Everyone seems to have gravitated towards the densest concentrations of lootsplosions which are located mostly in the south-west. I spawned near Berezino and the only players I saw there were newspawns running to the closest spot to throw themselves off a ledge. Then I got a Cherno spawn and ran into five or six different people out of about 12 total.

 

The muffled noises of suppressed MP5s could be heard throughout the night...

I think that sums up 3pp servers in general pretty well.

 

That mess with the interwebs today seemed to drive allot of scum into exp judging by my stint yoloing around the 3pp servers.

 

I'm looking forward to the good bits of .58 making it to stable so I can find a nice 1pp or private server to call home for awhile.

While we're at that subject: how is server performance? Are the hives still being DDoS'ed?

Not good (just checked both 1st & 3rd person hives).

[IMT 3190]

Hmm to bad. Hope it gets fixed/stops soon. May these idiots have a slow and painful death, amen.

So pardon my ignorance, is this an attack on the internet in general or does China just hate us having fun?

 

If it's the whole internet because Canada doesn't have nukes I think the US should get them on standby to protect our porn freedom.

I also enjoy 1st person servers, but not on almost empty servers. And 50/50 population server is too small in my opinion.

They could easy play 120/120 population on this map without feeling too crowded. 

I usually run 1st person on 3rd person server since it's easier to check bushes and trees. 

Blue waffle or UK alliance servers (private) usually have full 1st person servers.

Yes, they fixed persistence on most items, except barrels. However, I guess they need to figure out some of the major spawn bugs, and why items u drop on the ground teleport instantly to nearest loot spawn like inside a farm (if u are nearby the building and drop loot like a backpack.)

I noticed that last evening while playing. I droped a bag ( when I created my improvised backpack) just outside a farm, and it was gone - I searched for it and found the same bag inside the farm at a loot spawn. That's why you see piles of loot in cities - I've figure it out already.

I hope the developers are aware what is happening too since they need to fix it.  ^_^

I didn't report it though - I thought it was obvious for the devs. and they are probably aware of the 'loot spawn' issues.

It's a nice theory but if it goes to the nearest spawn point, why the police car and boats. So the theory isn't waterproof.

Here is my theory:

Like crash sites they want to make police cars and boats more dynamic and perhaps work on a separate loot table like crash sites. Because of this they get buggy and hog up all the loot from other loot locations. Therefore loot doesn't spawn at other spawn points anymore, resulting in less loot in houses and these loot explosions.

How is that for a theory? :D
