Exp Update: 0.58 + Hot Fix.

The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence...

 

 

I'll just leave this here.

They are busy dealing with DDOS attacks which has probably put .58 testing on a back burner unfortunately.

In spite of that, they have generated a surprising number of internal testing builds. I have to imagine that we'll see an update to Experimental soon.

That'd be about the right timing, I just need optics for my Mosin and sportster and I have a pretty respectable loadout to go hide in the woods and be antisocial.

IIR, when it was introduced, one of the devs indicated that the barrel could be used to collect rain water. Rain hasn't been a thing until recently, though. Has anyone checked to see if this works yet?  

I've opened the lid while it was raining, left on a route and came back and the number didn't change.

As far as I can tell there's no way to empty or to access the fluid right now anyway.

I doubt it's at the top of the priority list but maybe we'll see some progress in the coming updates

It looks like China is very active:  http://www.digitalattackmap.com/#anim=1&color=0&country=AT&list=0&time=16630&view=map

 

No idea what this map means though. 

It means that China has declared war on the US.

First thing I thought when viewing this... *pew pew pew pew pew pew pew*

 

2nd thing I thought was....

Man, if DDoS is denying me of a new exp patch, I hope the haxors involved get super-cancer-aids of the spine.

Seat of the pants, the number of hunting scopes has been nerfed, but they are definitely still out there. On the other hand, I have only seen a couple of PU scopes in 0.58 and all of them have been damaged.

I had a pristine one of each at some point in .58 stepped of a rock and got dead with my m70/hunting scope before I got to fire a shot, never found anything to put the pu on before the wipe I believe.

 

Not sure if it helps or not but any damaged optics I find I take and drop some distance away.

There's 5 or 6 deer huts/stands that I'm aware of that will spawn hunting scopes more often than others, but most huts never seem to spawn any.    There were definitely more hunting scopes in .57 but those specific deer stands didn't change when it updated to .58.  If I'm on the hunt for a scope I'll always check those same stands.

[Excanto 336]

No, thank you.

 

Do just plain notes persist? 

 

I check most random pieces of paper but have so far been disappointed.

LOL, you didn't see my note months ago "The drums in the deep, they are coming, no where to run, out of arrows, why has it come to this, where is the rider, so it has come to this, they are here...arg...h...."

Could you state your source for the AK101 being absent from the loot table?

The only sources for experimental is ourselves. I'd say thousands of hours playing with our fellows Tatanko, Barnabus, Dudester, Tux, BleedoutBill, GrapefruitKush, BioHaze, and many more, from our collective knowledge.

 

You can directly ask Hicks or Eugene on that matter, but it's kinda tough having direct answers from them sometimes.

So I logged out near one of the invisible cop car loot piles yesterday. I was curious when I found it so after hiding mine I used the backpacks to clean up a bit. I removed all the books, most of the motorcycle helmets, most of the shoes. I filled a dry bag with most if not all the amuniton and stashed it then picked up my gear and logged out in a nearby house. I figured I'd check it again before leaving the area today, in less than 24 hours it had spawned 20 or so books and 4-5 back packs. There's about as many backpacks as restarts that have passed since I cleaned up. I didn't make the connection until I'd left but it kinda looks like there's a template of what should initially spawn and it's repeating every restart.

I found a pu scope and put it on a sks and was able to zero it up to 1300m. Is that normal or a bug as both the mosin and the svd only go up to 1000m if I recall correctly.

I'm finding ACOG and RDS scopes everywhere. In one single tavern in Berezino I found two of each.

Is the exp hive nerfed now like stable? I logged into se01 to find myself as a fresh spawn.... Logged out last night outside gorka and my character was fine. Reading on twitter about the continuing ddos attacks but Hicks tweeted a reply to someone that exp should be fine earlier.... Anyone?

I'd say they made the AK101 and M4 scarce because of their NATO influence. How rare is the AUG? It would make sense though because it's Russia so NATO (influenced) weapon's would be scarce.

My guess is that the hives are disconnected because of the DDoS attacks. Edited July 14, 2015 by IMT

My 1pp guy was fine a few hours ago but have been going through 3pp server and they're ranging from bad to worse. I'm leaving my 1pp gut alone for now.

off-roader + Sedan yes plox.  I was kind of bored of the V35's anyway. :)

Correct.

Plus way more progress on the vehicle repair mechanics!

 How rare is the AUG? 

 

Right now in either the exp build or stable 0.57, the AUG is almost at every single crash site. (UH-1Y "nato" smoking choppers, not the Russian Mi-8)

 

It's too easy to find one in stable since persistence is disabled and fresh loot spawns every server restart, while it's a little bit more rare on experimental. 

 

In anyway the M4 attachments like the Magpul grip and stock are nowhere to be found, at all. (In about 50 crash sites combining 0.57 stable, and the current 0.58 experimental, I haven't seen a single M4 or it's attachments. Even the 10rnd, 20rnd, 30rnd STANAG or 40rnd mags seem to be gone, only the 30 rnd Cmag and coupled 60rnd mag seem to spawn.

My 1pp guy was fine as well last time I checked but when I logged into a 3pp server I was a fresh spawn as well.

Maybe you should play my survivalist play style which makes it a bit harder to survive. I can make a forum topic or maybe even a video about it if people are interested.

Remember people: PvP is not the only thing in the game. If you're bored then try some different play styles. If you don't have a clue what a play style is you should check WOBO's video's about them.

 

thats not the point...you shouldn't have to "roleplay" scarcity of ressources...i remember the first implementation of .55, people were dropping like flies because of hunger. Everybody hated it, i loved it. Currently CLE is getting better, but its far from done. i think it should feel like hitting a jackpot, when you find some ammo or canned food. We will see how they continue to balance the game.
