As Bambi ran in to second floor of police station ( NE airfield ). My buddy was waiting for me near by as there was mosin laying around.
So I ran in and I got smoked bt dude on second floor... :rolleyes: Again, no warning nothing. I clearly looked like Bambi...
Well, **** you so... My buddy came from Tower and smoked him back. Justice delivered. You shoot with no warning, you die with no warning.

Started again as Bambi and not even near Berezino.... Bollox

Did you announce yourself? Airfields tend to be KOS, as you could easily be a Bambi concealing a pistol or magnum, and there is nothing to stop you finding a gun in the airfield and shooting him then.


Some people have been burned badly after being nice so are very on edge when it comes to people.

I just ran in through the door, went up. ( Did not expected anyone in there at all as my buddy was watching the entrance, so it was 100% logger ) He was in usual "behind the stairs on second floor" spot and opened fire. All I had was a blue shirt lol.
My buddy got him coming over to tower. Full camo, M4 and enough stuff for 3 bears to last winter.

You should try the very top of the ACT.
You have to look down and open your inventory then do sweeps around because they spawn below the surface and you can't really see them.

MUST NOT REACT!!!!

ShadowHearth

HAHA! LOLZ! I died again ( from 5 foot drop ) and spawned in Electro again, so I just ran back to hospital, used the ladder to get up and found my killer. Did not gave 2 ****s, just went "Young Black independant free woman, who does not need a help of any man" on him with my fists up! He misses shotgun shots at me and after got me with M4.
Things is I hit him at least 8-10 times and he did not died. I bet he is bleeding like hell though! Fists need buff up!!!

You have to hit him in the head to knock him unconcious!


I don't mind getting killed really, if I die, it's my fault as I wasn't careful enough, the only thing I hate is combat loggers and ghosting, quitting out of the game just so you don't die is pathetic, and ghosting into a better spot to kill them is even worse, I would instaban anyone who did either tbh.

On a point of style, what's people's interpretation of bambi, in the context of DayZ?

I take it to mean anyone fresh spawned, but I understand some people use it to mean new and relatively inexperienced players.

Initially, I thought it meant someone who runs like funk as soon as they see anyone.

Well Bambi is someone who is freshly spawned and has no gear on him. At least thats how I understand it.


P.s. Got back in to Electro and no sign of my friend

It is a term used by a 'popular' YouTuber known as cockonpcin1080p. I dislike him very much & this fecking 'bambi' mentality he brought into DayZ.

Sorry :P

It's head wrecking! New spawn or fresh spawn is much better.

Indeed he was. A quick google search should bring up the video that points out where he was cheating.

ktulu123

He is a decent editor, but it still does not excuse the fact that he used scripts to get a lot of his footage. No point dragging a decent thread off topic with this. It's all there with a quick Google.

In better news, the new patch notes have been released. SKS!!!!

DAYZ PENDING UPDATE CHANGELOG

Branch: Experimental
ETA to Stable: 5-7 February 2014
Version: 0.33.114782

Known Issues:
- Spawns: Loot is not spawning in military tents
- Spawns: Some structures in Svetlo currently do not spawn loot
- Server: Servers under load can delay actions from the client
- Only 4 dynamic light sources will be rendered at one time currently

What are experimental/stable branches?
In your steam application settings, you can choose a "beta branch". This allows you to opt in to our experimental branch to try it out.

Does my saved character get affected in experimental branch?
No. It runs on a different database, so any changes will not affect your character on stable branch.

I can't find a slot while on experimental branch!
Only a small number of servers run this branch. You will need to change your game back to the stable branch and play on a normal server

Can I join a stable branch server wil experimental branch client?
No, you would need to change your client back to stable.

When will this be in stable?
We expect stable to be updated before the end of that week (by 7 February 2014).

Why has <insert any bug> not been fixed yet when there is new content coming in?
While priorities are very important when assigning work, there is a limit to how many people can work on a complex task without making it even more complex. Also, many of the team are focused purely on content/design so while the important stuff is being fixed, they continue to provide content and design updates.

Is mouse acceleration being fixed?
It is not fixed in this update, but we plan to make control changes. It is not as simple as turning it "off" as the speed your character turns is not dictated by the mouse itself, but your movements combined with the type of weapon you have, how tired you are, etc.

ShadowHearth

Well, I still enjoy some of his Videos. Its entertainment after all...

On dayZ itself:

For the first time in my life I found Shotgun, then I found for the first time Mosin... with 2 shotgun bullets.. God Dammit! I always wanted Mosin, but I had to leave it as its better to have 2 bullets, that you can shoot, then nothing.
Got to one of the Airstrips, am I being very careful, but it is all looted out.

- Login: Player queuing system introduced. Penalty waiting time added for switching server or disconnecting a server quickly.


Yes please! I did not expected this patch to come out so soon. Nice.

FlyingIrishMan

Also your body stays on the server for 30 seconds after you log out. He forgot to add it to patch notes.

Not a perfect fix, but it'll do for now.

Timmyctc

OT: I say bambi but I never realised Frankie used to say it. I think most of his videos are quite fun and like him but tbh if he doesn't hack, he definitely scripts his videos with other players at times.

New patch notes yayyyy. Less combat logging the better

Jonny7

havent played this in awhile

does stuff respawn now or do we have to wait for server to restart?

jabberwock

ShadowHearth

TiG server still down?

TheFairy

No sorted now, the machine it was hosted on was borked.
