Exp Update: 0.60.+++

[Rammit (DayZ) 153]

Yesterday, I was cold. This morning I was hot. Haven't checked it. I actually went away for a while and forgot i was in the server (about 20-30 minutes tops). Came back. my guy still sitting in a bush where I left him, but he was hot. Haven't attempted to cool down yet, and don't know how hot I am yet. Haven't been on in a few hours.

But, the last two days are the first time I've seen either hot or cold statuses on my character with this patch. I do know I was able to transition from cold to hot (without fire). We'll see about getting off of hot status.

Yesterday I was looting a house when I heard voices outside. Someone outside announced "I see you" in a 'feminine' voice and 'she' immediately came into the building and quickly moved towards me. I put 'she' in quotes because I am not sure the player was female. She had a rifle on her shoulder and no weapons in her hands but the quickness of her actions spooked me and I shot her. I could hear footsteps outside, a lot of them, with people chattering about their friend and if he/she was dead and what had happened. I told them I was friendly but that their friend's actions had scared me and I don't take chances anymore. They seemed to think I was a KOS guy. I'm not....just cautious. They started running around and hitting the outside walls of the building I was crouched in. I could see pitchforks clipping through the wall at times. i kept on trying to explain and was making some headway when I got the 'you are dead' message. Must have been a ptichfork through the wall. What do you guys think? Did I over react or did my victim bring this on her/himself?

Did you check the pulse of the person you shot?  Always check the pulse.  If their buddies were acting all Lord of the Fliesy then you should have just shot them all.  You broke the primary rule, you told people "you don't take chances", sorry but that is taking a chance.   When it's time to shoot....

On the topic of persistence.

 

My barrel, that I placed yesterday, was still where I left it yesterday.  It still had everything I downloaded to it too.  I don't go much for storage on experimental because it seems like every update is, if not a character reset, then it is almost always a persistence reset.  This kind of makes storage pretty much a useless headache.

Swam the entire East coast from Svetlo to Skalatisy with one quick stop to eat and drink, raised my rifle and just had a bit of the shakes.

Met up with my other account and did a mic check, it works but I sound like a robot/throat cancer guy. Pulled a pint of blood with a first aid kit I found right before, traded my backpack and guns for the barrel my alt found when I got there and set about scouring the island.

Got booted at the castle but before that found at least 4 powdered milk so a freshie would have no problem leaving the island wit green statuses.

AUS 0-1 seems to be the server that's working for me today.

How .60 Feels to me~

Well a quick view over Elektro - I found an unique image which I had to share with u guys! :)

The fog in Cherno looks so epic:

I also have a night-shot. I got rid of the problem of always getting wet after restart. This was the last fire I made (for a while):

Been driving around with a friend. Driving the V3S was fun, even though one double wheel was missing and most of them weren't pristine. Driving the 4x4 was even more fun. I managed to turn it a few times, but only the last crash proved fatal. Even though we can enter it, it doesn't start up. I wonder if the status (ruined) of battery and spark plugs has an effect. It seems wise now to carry an extra set of car parts and tools with you. The sound is a bit annoying. I would like a more even and deeper pitch at the higher speeds. This engine isn't humming, it sounds like a lawnmoyer lost its marbles. But I won't complain. It's been fun. Only minor bugs.

I think the car audio may get some helpings in .61 =) That'd be nice. I'd love for them to sound a bit more accurate and not hear them from across the town. I rather hate hearing cars because it's like I know exactly which direction they are and I can go shoot them if I please, even if they are at a distance that I really shouldn't be hearing so much.

Nice to see arrows are visible in bow once again: https://feedback.bistudio.com/T116724 with the projectile model back it's very nice. Didn't have time to find many people on which to try it out this time (4, tried it on 2).

Thank God I am not the only one.  Christ the Lada is LOUD LOUD LOUD.  I feel like I should have hearing protection when driving it in 3pp.

Yep, they're also very buggy. Found a hatchback full equipped but couldn't move it. So i went for a lugwrench to take away the wheels and remount it (i did that in 0.59 when the cars where stucked) but what happend was that the car hovered all over the place and one of the wheels disappeared in the ground. Ran around to find another (because one can't remove the spare wheel why ever). Try to hop back on that server to see if a restart helps more.

When you're a tea totaler (which I am) anybody who drinks alcohol can look like an alcoholic.

When you absolutely don't (by definition here folks) just "kill all unknown players at first sight", anybody who ever finds a reason to KoS can look like a bandit or murderer.

When I hear people (including my friends) say they are going to go seek revenge on random people after being KoS'd by some other random people it honestly sounds pathetic and only fuels the perpetual game of pass the grief potato (which is really just a salty bitch turd).

I transcended the psychology that perpetuates KoS and adapted my gameplay style to increase my survival times according to the mechanics that are currently in place.

Sometimes that means leaving a prime loot location early because someone else has arrived.

Sometimes it means talking and going our separate ways.

Lately it's more like a game I would call "children with guns".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think Peter and Hicks are tuning scarcity.

A lot of ammo found is worse for wear.

The ammo you probably have right now is fine for running around a map with only 59 other players but it will not go nearly as far if there are infected in every town.

Let's see how empty the .61 servers are when every one would rather play .60 Stable without worrying about infected so they can CoDayZ.

Wait and see, there will be people complaining about having zombies in their zombie game. -_-

[BleedoutBill 1636]

I had a good time being shot to death today! Thanks!!!

Seriously, it was the first time in a few weeks that I finally had an opportunity to jump on. Surprisingly, it only took about four minutes of gentle persuasion to find a compliant server. I played for about 3-3.5 hours. The server was, for the most part, smooth and responsive. There were perhaps four instances when I experienced severe stuttering, which lasted approximately 2-3 seconds, each time. I didn't visit any big towns, but my FPS remained mostly between 120 and 150, on average. It dipped into the 60-80FPS range during the stuttering episodes.

I made a sweep through the junk yard, North of Novy Sobor and headed WNW to the clump of trees North of Stary Sobor. I had no interest in visiting these towns, because I still hadn't found any suitable gear with which to defend myself. I had a SKS with one round, that I had scrounged from a CR527 magazine, a one-shot pistol with no ammo and 50 rounds of .22 with nothing but a pocket, to keep it in. So, I'm primarily depending on a hoe and a crowbar, should anything hit the fan. I decide to check the nearby deer stand, 'cause I've been having great luck with them all afternoon. When I get eyeball high with the floor of the deer stand, I hear click, click, click, click. Back down the ladder I go and off into the clump of trees. By this time, the "friendly" has jacked some good ammunition into his rifle and I see a large puff of dirt from an impact, just to my right. I could hear the gunshots, too! Everything came together just right, to create an adrenaline-filled few seconds. I ran and ran, trying to decide if I wanted to chance going out, into the open field, or continue to zig-zag through the patch of trees. Just then I saw a flash of blue out of my left eye (blue raincoat?) and then everything went black. I actually didn't mind dying that much, because it's so enjoyable, when everything just works as it should. Having said that, I hope that you ruined all of my gear (what little there was), asshole!

There are quite a lot of very small changes to the map ... too numerous to list. Also some areas have clearly been worked over with weeds and debris, in order to create more atmosphere and character. Small touches, like the new street signs, really help to transform the map into a real place. I also like the small waterproof bag that I found; I'm sure that they'll come in very handy. Honestly, I haven't had this much fun, since they fixed the zeds from seeing through walls at 1km away! Now, speaking of zeds, I didn't see a single one in 3.5 hours. I'm sure that I could have found one by visiting one of the large coastal cities, but they must all be clumped there, because I didn't see any wandering about in the small towns in the mid-section of the map.

And wolves, and bears. ;) 

It'll be different and interesting for sure. And probably a much better experience overall.

When you're an alcoholic (which I am), beer can appear to have the versatility to fill many roles such as that of food, which it cannot.

When you absolutely don't survive more than half of player encounters, anybody with a gun looks like a reason for fight or flight.  And sometimes flight just means getting shot in the back.

When I hear people calling out that they see someone pointing a gun at them, I run towards the danger, so that maybe my friends can see me get KoS'd and avenge me.

I transcend the ideology of deciding whether or not to kill someone before I have decided whether or not to kill them.

Sometimes that means taking a bullet or two before I've made up my mind.

Lately it's been a game of run back inland from the coast; regardless of whether I have eaten nothing all day and drank twelve beers in lieu of food, or if I have eaten and rested well, and drank no beer at all that day.

 

Helicopters are where it's at.  Towns and mil-zones are often both picked clean, and inhabited by ravenous vultures -- or trapdoor spiders looking to profit from unknowing visitors.  Helicrashes are both peaceful and plentiful.

Funny this talk of whether to KOS or not, philosophy and such. .

Honestly, I listen to people's voices if they speak. - Generally, it's a good indicator if they're a bastard just trying to make you stand still or really want no trouble - Otherwise they may have not announced themselves.

Then again, they could be like me and perpetually sound 'Friendly' and have any motive whatsoever - Whether I want to kill you, group, or just tell you that I'm around or leaving so you don't just kill me.

But my philosophy is. . If I speak to you and I'm in my 'Let's Be Friends' stage, I am giving a lot of leeway. - Now if someone doesn't respond reallyyyy soon or they take off really fast, I get aggressive and go into my 'FU You're dead to me' stage.

When you're a wino (Which I am), wine makes everything pleasant and you can giggle while trying to decide if you want to murder or be friends with someone <3

 So, I am up north on SW US 0-5.  I find a 4x4 with three tires.  I have a repair kit and a lug wrench, I just put a gas can in the car and I take off all the tires to affect repairs.  I get two fixed, have them back on and go back for the third when a bunch of auto fire comes at me.  The guy is a piss poor shot but he does ruin my jacket and gets me bleeding.  Then I hear someone yell "don't mess with my car bro".  I yell back and tell him it isn't his car.  Then I bandage in a house.  I figure this mook is out of bullets since he isn't coming after me.  So I go out and shoot up the car and all the tires on the car to ruined status.  I reloaded and fired all 24 rounds I had for my magnum.  Meet no resistance.  Then I bail.  Fucker.  Fuck with me will you?  Your car is it?  Well fuck you and your car and your AK you non shooting turd blossom.   Yeah, the bitch was out of ammo, wasted it trying to spray and pray on me.

Hehe I would've done the same. "Dare you shoot ME!? YOUR car!? It shall be no one's now, motherfuck!" xD

How it feels to negotiate mofos in this game hehehe.

Indeed. Someone recently told me I sound "ridiculously friendly". I'm not!

[blackberrygoo 1416]

I had a great time tonight on experimental, me and a friend were determined to visit tisi and see the military base despite our third friend being incredibly difficult to meet up with.... We finally get up to Tisy military base and i find my FIRST VSS VINTOREZ yayyyyy!

I have no ammo for it but i have my trusty RAK on my shoulder , ready for action. As i am appreciating the vss and wondering what ammo it takes, I hear my friend cry out "shit , someones in here" . Obviously the deuche bag had to kill my friend, so with the info he gave me of his whereabouts, I drop the vss into the dirt floor of the barracks and rush the doorway.

The cold blooded killer is surprised to see backup, as he is already looting my friends body. He empties another clip at my position and i do the same with a short round burst, mind you im only leaning in so i catch no bullets at all... I lean in again and give him a longer rush of lead totalling 16 bullets in all between the two blasts and his body drops like a sack of shit . I love when things work out , im just sad my friend had to die before the scum perished... Oh well, looks like one less KOS kiddie with a fully tricked out rifle .

 

Edit : sorry for the weird picture layout , I can't figure out these new forums , or spoilers anymore ....

When someone's got the decency to talk to me first before shooting, I usually respond, but I definitely see why you reacted how you did, "I see you." isn't the best greeting.

My character's been leaving a trail of blood just getting through the novy/stary area that I'm not too proud of, but that's the cool part of this game. I shot a guy coming out of a house in Stary and saw he had the .308 ammo I needed for my scoped blaze... but I ruined it. Made me think if maybe we got to talking I could've got the ammo in better condition. :P However, the current character I'm on has also been held up and picked clean by a group of 3 (maybe 4) so from a weird outside perspective I can understand why he's been shooting and asking questions later :P Just tryna get to NWAF dude I ain't tryna get killed geez...

[Espa 711]

I've survived for 3 days so far. . So I'm happy about that xD I've killed maybe around 10 players, spoken to about 5 others in friendly fashion. I'm not great at PvP to be honest, but I've gotten really lucky in my combat situations. I basically am being super cautious and just starkly friendly to people that get the drop on me hehe. I don't KOS, but I do shoot to kill in places where I feel threatened as hell. If I'm inside a house and I hear footsteps around the house, I get ready to murder whoever is coming through the door. No questions there.

Also, I never go to Military areas. I stick to towns and the wilderness. If I really want a machine gun, I'll move a few clicks from a Military area and get into a killing position for when people exit the area in a panic.

Set a bear trap right before server reboot to see if they still disarm and degrade, my experiment and barrel happen to be on the one server that hangs up.

Killed so many chickens today though, no idea why that's so fun for me but I would have paid $30 for just the Chenarus Chicken Hunter Sim.
