Less snipers as of wednesday..

* [FIXED] Ammunition amounts not loaded in properly (Now records used ammunition correctly)

I would of course like to see sniper rifles require 12-15 slots in your pack but hearing this information, I do believe this is a step in the right direction.

We all know that ammo is almost infinite (especially for server hoppers) so does this mean we will see less sniping? I don't know but i'm sure if I had limited ammo, I would think twice about picking the weapon up instead of the more versatile, M16 acog etc. I know you could still technically server hop your way to max ammo but at least you wouldn't be able to camp on a hill in cherno without eventually running out of rounds.

What does the community think?

[edit]

Huuwap,

That'll certainly fix dcing/reconnecting to bring ammo back, but will it fix the combination bug?

In Process Changelog (WIP):

* [FIXED] Graphical glitches with dead bodies (Rebinarized file should no longer produce graphical artifacts)

* [FIXED] Converting between magazine types resets ammo count (Now only contains previous number of rounds)

I think Wednesday should have a capital letter.

Snipers aren't THAT much of a problem. The mod has been out long enough to know where they will be and where to stay away from.

I agree server hoppers need something doing to them though because its a joke

[Blindingsun 233]

relogging still gives you your ammo back..

[Ankhenaten 111]

Pro: Banditry might get less.

Contra: Without Banditry the game would be not scary and if the high powered weapons are useless, the low weapon murders (due to enough ammo) on the coast will get worse

which is then pro again, as I can collect shit in the North.

From Wednesday...

[ZombieSpecialist 144]

I have... um... no idea, why... ammo, seems to be... diminishing. Must just be... an update, or something.

[ZedsDeadBaby 2287]

Nah, they're just going to have to return to their tents to duplicate ammo more often.

Once that bug is fixed, though, yeah. I would imagine you're going to start hearing less AS50 fire around Cherno.

Especially if people man up and "Hide Body" on sinpers instead of looting their rifles. ;)

I wonder if allot of griefers will just stop playing the game when these two bugs get fixed and it becomes a proper survival game. from my understanding things like DMR mag's are super rare and most greifers just server hop after they find one. with the these issues fix'd they won't be able to just camp cherno/electro all day like they've been doing. (unless they want to waste those super rare mags on new spawns instead of defending there camps up north.) Im already seeing a bunch of pvp guys refusing to play because zombies are a threat now and demanding it get patched.

I think we can all agree, if fixed properly it can only help matters but I suppose until the main release of the game it will be near impossible to stop duplication..

Exploiters and hackers simply out-number the dev team.

I'm a sniper and I have to say 4 people in my group have snipers but I'm the only one when we go out looking for loot. Rare I see another sniper mostly assault folk

So I guess there's an answer...it's in process, but not necessarily confirmed for 1.7.2.5.

[scoobysnacks 32]

Oh I think it's been updated since I started this thread, awesome!

[Sethen 62]

Oh hell.. Going have to make more trips to my 25 tents full of duped shit from my lovely bush at Chern.. Well damn.

[simonjames 25]

Anyone want to buy a Bizon ?

Seriously this fix is well overdue, I'm happy.

[Elo 44]

Doesn't matter as long as you can still dupe stuff instantly

You need some lessons on grammar son.

[scoobysnacks 32]

It amuses me how much this forum cares more about capital letters and typos rather than the issue behind the error.

[Buffjesus 357]

didnt read thread but

ammo still refills itself

and now if you use a full clip and log out itll give you the entire clip back. so you dont have to make sure you dont go below half now either.

[zapbrannigan 9]

..from my understanding things like DMR mag's are super rare and most greifers just server hop after they find one....

I disagree... DMR mags are only rare AFTER you find the gun. When defenseless on the coast, every deer stand seems to have one.

Can never seem to get a life where I can find the gun AND the ammo.

This happens every time I pick a different weapon, all the ammo for that weapon is long gone :D
