Experimental is full as the latest patch goes live..



That isn't all of them obviously, but they are all chockers !


Bandana for those cowboys..








Objects falling off people when shot..

Quote:
So being the nice guy I am I had to shoot a guy at the NWAF in tent city. When I shot him, in the back, his gun fell off his shoulder and his bag fell off onto the floor. This wasn't just from carrying the item to the ground. The objects literally fell off him, with physics-y stuff.


Shotgun is also fixed, it was firing only one pellet.

One other interesting thing we noticed the other night, might have been in for a while and we just noticed it. When you have a couple of canteens in your inventory you can drain one into the other.

This is getting very good. I'll have to try that this evening, hopefully EXP servers in my region will finally start spawning loot biggrin
Are tents in ?

Cheers,

Tent spawn appears broken biggrin If it wasn't the many thousands that have been through the servers today/night would have already found, pitched and posted pics. Waiting for dev confirmation that the spawn is broken.

On a side not weapons have been tweaked with as well, what they have called their first balancing pass.

Below is from Gews on the Dayz forums..he has been the local gun nut for quite a while and seems to know his stuff pretty well. I know Jack sh/t when it comes to this stuff..point, shoot..miss ? Shoot again. Repeat until i kill target or dead.

Reduced dispersion for one thing

SKS = 5.16 MOA

M4A1 CQB = 4.30 MOA
M4A1 = 4.13 MOA
M4A1 RIS, standard = 4.04 MOA
M4A1 Magpul = 3.78 MOA

CZ527 = 5.16 MOA

Mosin = 3.44 MOA
Blaser = 3.44 MOA
10/22 = 3.44 MOA

1911 = 5.4" @ 25 yd


Quote:
For reference ARMA 2

M16A4 = 3.44 MOA
AK101 = 4.30 MOA
M4A1 = 6.02 MOA
AKM = 6.70 MOA

AKM, AK-101 are both the same dispersion as M4A1 in experimental with their equivalent attachments.



Quote:

Scopes now reduce dispersion, so it is:

3.09 MOA with PU scope
2.56 MOA with long range scope

I'm sure it will still be tweaked furthermore in the "2nd balancing pass". 3.5-4 sounds around right. Players probably would not notice a difference +/- 0.5, 1.0 MOA so it's a li'l bit nitpicking.

I'm intentsly curious Ajay.

Is this how items will be stored persistently? You hide them in a bright blue tent?

And they are only persist within the same server? So if the server is full you are locked out while tent hunters plunder your bright blue booty?

'I guess so' to all your questions.

I'm sure they'll change the color to something more appropriate although it is strange they have to start off bright blue when they could just as easily use green. Don't try to fathom the developers minds. I have given up trying to comprehend them for a while now. Less frustrating.

And I wouldn't bother jumping in yet until they get everything stable...........which can take a while with this lot

Items are persistent so where you drop it is where it stays, on that server only. Lot's of stuff has been tossed about regards camoflauge using leafy branches etc so it's a wait and see as it moves along. I would say they are not the only style of tent we will see either, or the only way of storage.

Private hives with a decent admin and whitelisting will be the go after alpha as it was with the mod.

Experimental servers really are the only ones to be mucking around atm as stable is generally a fair way behind what is going on..too many people fall into the trap playing the game thinking it is a fleshed out game and forget they should be trying to break everything and looking for glitches, bugs, exploits etc. Not worrying that they lost a mosin or died falling off a ladder or whatever biggrin

Loot is off tap atm..this was three or so hours i did in Gvodnzo..

Wouldnt it be great if zeds built nests out of loot, and then were attracted to nests...

You'd get zeds raiding your loot stash while you are away, not just players, and if you saw a group of zeds milling around you would know there was a nest nearby - despatch the zeds, win the loot.

Of course you could kind of do this now. Create a stash under a tree near a town, and lure a bunch of zeds into the area to 'protect' it while you are away. Wouldnt work across restarts, but during a session your stash would at least have 'protection'.
