Exp Update: 0.58 + Hot Fix.

[creamycowboy 139]

Well decided to go do some exploring today and not even 15mins into my walk, i stumble across what i think is every civ tent in the server and one car tent. Sorry no pics as the steam overlay makes dayz crash for me. I signed my name, made a fire and hung around for 20mins or so but the owners were a no show. Was one cool moment for me.

Sounds like our camp but unfortunately it got robbed a few days ago > :( . You would think they would've just took what they needed .. but man they were greedy heh. I mean we had enough stuff for a 10 - 15 man army. Just about every single bit of it was gone .. we had barrels and tents full of ammo, mags, clothes, med supplies, about 15 canteens, gardening supplies etc. Took all the gear .. left the tents. It was a pretty big blow to my moral, especially since I spent like 2 hrs organizing it the night before. But it was bound to happen.

Hey nice find Morris!

 

Me and Dudester must have just missed you.  We left camp about 30 minutes before, found a herd of deer then came back to find your note   :o

Hahaha thats crazy, I seen you blokes on the playerlist too haha. Man was i paranoid walking in i even F2'd in the middle and yelled out :) Swapped out my axe for the pickaxe to collect some stones for the fire, come back and your greedy tent swallowed my axe so i actually have the pickaxe as compensation haha. Was the fire still there? Has anyone noticed the cows are acting retarded? seen two just spinning in circles on the spot not far from Lopatino.

DB activity on experimental....new update will come next hours

So this is serious not me being an asshole for a change, why do you play this instead of any number of of "shooters"?

 

I don't like small talk either but short nonhostile interactions seem to me like what the majority of of post apocalyptic human contact would be initially, hopefully being mutually beneficial. If you were in the situation this game is suppose to portray playing it like a a shooter your life would be short or you'd die of loneliness in the long term. I'm not a social person in real life but I do have a small need for human contact and feeling like I'm a part of something bigger and would try to bring back some form of civilization, if not whats the point of not just giving up and killing yourself.

Because I like the looting aspect as well and because of the adrenaline this game gives like no other, thanks to the one-life-policy. Give me an incentive to cooperate with a stranger and I might do it. Right now what incentive do I have? "Oy u want any food moite?" - no, I dont need food, you can find it everywhere. "Oy u need anything else?" No, everything I need I can find on my own. "Oy you wanna teamup?" No, I already usually play in a group of 3-4, but thanks. Like I said, if someone walks up to me gun holstered and talks friendly, I am not gonna shoot him. But that happened maybe a handful of times in my entire playtime. People see me looting and prefer shooting instead. Plus I am not willing to give that amount of trust to any stranger anymore only to get shot and be frustrated at them and the lost progress. Whats the fun in that, really? You see, your extremely cautious playstyle only makes sense because a good 80% of the players open fire at sight anyway.

 

Yeah. It is. And then when I posted something in a thread about the M4 and how people needed to trust that Hicks knows more than they do, he private messaged me non-stop for a solid 8-10 hours arguing about how Hicks was wrong. 

 If your president tells you there is huge seas of drinkable water everywhere in the sahara you probably would believe it and argue with inhabitants who died of dehydration that your president is right and needs to be trusted - even tho you have never been in the Sahara. But why dont they answer??? :huh:

You found us! Shhh.

 

Dudester and Gary are crazy at gathering tents. It's an obsession :p

When we returned and noticed all of the tents were closed up we scattered  :lol: but we didn't see any evidence of a fire.

We were missing one UMP a few days ago, and then the other UMP was gone yesterday and a few other misc items.

So we searched around and found a note in one tent - another group had found our camp, they took a few things and went on their way.

We had just left a note for them in case they returned when you came into the picture!   It's been a busy camp this week  :D

Must be one hell of an elusive glitch, I can't imagine how frustrating these last weeks have been in trying to find it.

Yeah but only for exp, once stable hits i'll be back to my private server i think. Been playing on the us south central 1pp server and the Aus 01 1pp/3pp server, i dont bother to hop so im on either them.

[Tatanko 5591]

When: I'll make a random guess and say two hours from the time I post this.

 

What: final bug fixes for 0.58 so it can be pushed to Stable. Hopefully.

[liquidcactus 719]

It's merely a matter of prior experiences.

 

The mod had a BRUTAL learning curve and it took me a very long time to learn to survive.

 

You could spawn in and be surrounded by a pattern of stalking infected and if you didn't belly crawl your way to the first house, you were done.

 

It took me a massive amount of patience and determination to reach a level of competence that got me even off the coast at all.

 

That brutality is what kept some of us playing and when the SA was green lighted we hoped the level of difficulty would be similar once feature complete.

 

People who don't have the experience of the mod think that the current SA actually resembles DayZ, which it only does in cosmetic appearance and not in game play.

 

Because of the current feature poor state of the SA current testers (especially new comers) have adopted this beautiful game to suit a popular genre, shooters.

 

So they play loot and shoot with a broken RTS style floating camera and call that "survival".

 

I'm just glad that KoS is less referred to as a "survivor" style of play in recent months.

 

You're not a bandit if you KoS, or a Survivor, you're just a murderer (in the grand context of sandbox play styles).

Many humble thanks, kind sir.

So they play loot and smalltalk with a broken RTS style floating camera and call that "survival".

So they play loot and hide in forests with a broken RTS style floating camera and call that "survival".

So they play loot and try not to get shot with a broken RTS style floating camera and call that "survival".

So they play loot and hunt buggy animals with a broken RTS style floating camera and call that "survival".

So they play loot and take screenshots with a broken RTS style floating camera and call that "survival".

So they loot and after looting the best items they logoff and take a break with a broken RTS style floating camera and call that "survival".

So they loot and take all the gear of the map into their camps in the forest with a broken RTS style floating camera and call that "survival".

So they play loot and hunt camps with a broken RTS style floating camera and call that "survival".

So they play loot and fixing up cars with a broken RTS style floating camera and call that "survival".

 

Etc etc. I call it playing the game.

The emphasis is on

the current feature poor state of the SA

 

tho. This is the sole reason for why the game is played how its played at the moment.

Whats relevant to people playing right now is the current state of the game I reckon. Its pointless blaming a player for a certain playstyle that might not be intended to exist in the finalized version. Well, it does now.
