Met Chewbacca in Berezino today. Thought he was gona kos. Nope. Said, "Wasgud." Chatted for like 30 seconds and went our way.

Yep! I love this. I watched a horde of Z's fight a pack of Wolves in Tisy. But for me I was chased by Z's and the Wolves came to my rescue. I sat on the roof of a military base and watch the fight take place. Loved it.

An Australian Cherno team is slowly building.

Same thing happened to me.  Spent hours last night gathering supplies and setting up camp.  Found a mil tent and a sea chest and placed them in secluded locations.  Filled them up with loot.  Come back a couple hours later and they are wiped.  It is ridiculous the game was released in this condition.  I can deal with the glitchy zombies, but the persistence issue is unacceptable.  This has been a known issue for quite some time.  Completely disgraceful.

Happy to Duo if you're keen to run in SG servers.

Had a similar event happen, except I was pinned in a shitshack by like 7 wolves. With no way out I opened fire to hopefully draw the attention of someone. Best move ever. A horde of zombies showed up. I got to watch the craziest gang fight. Shit must've lasted at least 10 minutes. I picked off the stragglers one by one and kept it pushing. Good times.

That's sad and depressing. To know even after 1.0 that persistence is not going to be guaranteed... *takes one of those deep breaths while smh*

Its a known issue. They are working on it.

Now I see a lot of people (myself included at times) hating on Bohemia Interactive and their Devs for a game that is broken. We've all seen the posts. But last night a had a moment in game that just shows how good the game is and how amazing it will be once completed. I'm  a solo survivalist, as not many Australian's I know play. So since the latest update I decided to build a little camp, not worry too much about PvP and just try and survive the Apocalypse. Collect food and ammunition and slowly build walls to the camp. I decided to take a journey down to Balota Airbase and then wrap to Pavlovo on my way up to Zelenogrosk. I estimated it would be a rough three hour journey. Once getting to the end of my scavenging I found four objects I needed for the base. Key items (like nails) that took me ages to find (I don't like to server hop). Once geared up it was time to take the long trek back to camp... suddenly a pack of wolves descended on me,  I take two down and then another jumps at me from behind, ripping at my every limb. I open fire on taking the beast out. I run into the scrub and to safety.  But it wasn’t over. I started noticing that my screen colour was changing and I was in fact bleeding out. "That's ok I'll bandage up and be on my way" I thought to myself. But stupidly at Zelenogrosk I dropped my bandages for nail! I was stranded in the woods with no bandages and bleeding. It was over, I was accepting my fair. I then though since my pants were ruined ,I will rip them up for bandages! NOPE! Rockie error... because they were ruined I couldn’t use them for my first aid and to pour salt into my bleeding out wound,  because I took them off they had fallen apart with all my goods left on the floor. Desperate to not die, I stumbled, pants-less, and nail-less to the nearest town and luckily the first house had a shirt I could rip up and patch my wound. I was alive and ready to get back to camp! On my way back to all my goods left in the woods I found Capri Pant. I never thought I would put these on but desperate times need desperate measures. After that ,I ran back to the woods to get the supplies and now heading back to camp... with PTSD. No other game has made me that panicked for survival and it is this reason why I love DayZ.

I am still learning, but I think it relates to this value in the globals.xml file:   <var name="CleanupLifetimeRuined" type="0" value="330"/>   I think what this means is things that are on the ground and ruined (which would include the dead) despawn after 5 and a half minutes (i.e. 330 seconds).  So, in theory, lowering this number should clear out things faster. If I'm wrong about that, someone please correct me.
