Well thanks for your replies guys! Well, seems I am stuck in this treacherous wasteland of Chernarus! xD

Hey there fellow survivors! I've been playing this game for almost 5 months now and what I have noticed is that there are alot of these temporary servers which just stay out there for a couple of days and are then just shut down for good. Some of these servers actually had some pretty good FPS on my computer so now I have to keep searching for another one that I might play on. :/ Having good servers shut down is almost as annoying as getting killed by some hacker >:( So anyone of you guys know of some good (European) servers that will practically never but also NEVER shut down, and if possible has a dedicated admin who keeps an eye out for hackers and such? :beans:

I've been setting up tents for a while now ever since i've been playing this game, but what I always wondered was, are you able to set up a sustainable tent outside the map? You know, where there's only just this grass land scape without any foliage?

I mostly find my new ''friends'' first before they can find me. I always make sure that I have the element of surprise, not the other way around. And well, I then always break the silence first by saying hello to this guy and trying to get both me and this guy to know each other. (Won't you also be much way more relieved when you know that this stranger is a fellow countryman or likes the same sports you do?). If you let the guy know that you have a hero skin, it's even better to ease off some of the initial tension! Anyway, the situation can go 2 ways after this: A: Since I've showed the guy some of my trust towards him and my intention that I am totally not out there to kill him (I said hello to him, instead of killing him while he didn't even know I was there), the guy (mostly 9/10 times) will repay me back that same trust and friendly behavior and we might start tagging along, and maybe even become gaming buddies in the long term. This also a GREAT opportunity to get your humanity status back up as you can now start giving your new friend bandages, blood, epi-pens and morphine! or B: The guy wants to abuse my trust and tries to screw me over anyways. In that case, the guy better hopes that he kills me because he WILL BE if he fails. Anyway, I always think that an inmature action like this should be answered with an inmature reaction as well! So I just kill the guy, loot whatever useful he might have on him and then hide his body. If they're just knocked out, it's EVEN better! I will then take the time they still have to live to verbally humiliate and lecture them before I put their character out of its misery! (M14 AIM, DMR and FN FALs are great for this!) And also, ALWAYS keep the situation of your surroundings into account! There's a difference in rules of engagement when you come across a wandering player and coming across some camping sniper, overlooking a high value spawn. And also, do you actually WANT to approach other players? If you're afraid of losing your stuff, then socializing in Dayz won't be your forte.

Okay, Im gonna try it now guys! So many thanks for the help so far! Even though the chance is slim, but if I ever to come across you guys in Dayz I would happily give you my beans! xD

So if I were to put my a gun in the tent and just leave it there, would it still be there after a server restart? Are you 100% sure bro? :(

Title says it all, I can't save my tent! Whenever I scroll over it, the Save option doesn't appear but all the other ones (Rearm , Pack Tent and Gear) do. This is a real problem right now as I can't switch my gear from it! Now to avoid the obvious with the latest 1.7.4.4 patch update, here are some clarifications that should narrow it down to the possible problem: -NO, I have not placed my tent on concrete, or urban areas whatsoever. The tent is nicely hidden out there in the wilderniss. -I can't launch DayZ from the ARMA 2: OA directory (ARMA 2 beta patch gets stuck to version 95248 for some reason, despite updating it from DayzCommander), instead I have to launch from the ''Launch Arma 2 Beta Patch'' option in order start the game with the right version. See the links to see what I meant: 1. http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k30/gh-boy/eds.png 2. http://i84.photobuck...gh-boy/eds3.png -In the expansion tab on the menu of Operation Arrowhead, I think you should also be able to enable the Expansion and Beta, both are missing here right now (see some of the uploaded photos for more info) http://i84.photobuck...gh-boy/eds2.png If any of you guys have any possible solutions to any of these problems or the main problem (inability to save tents), I will be forever grateful to you guys! :beans:

LOLWUT? Really? xD

Dude those dead soldiers are the very reason why you have a very low FPS on some servers!

Yeah saw some of those in Frankie's new video xD If im not mistaken, I think these tents were placed inside that dam near Elektro, it's quite clever if you think about it! xD

What will happen if you place a tent like miles outside the map? :P (Outside the map border where there's only a moon landscape and then a few miles into the valleys and hills) Will it still stand there and save the stuff you put in there?

What the hell is a tranny in Dayz?

And have our FPS rates drop? No thank you!

Why do you need civilian clothing anyways?

Well, I had a tent pretty close to the NW airfield on a server which was frequented daily by like 10-20 players. Although the tents were eventually ransacked by some noob a-hole, the location was hidden for almost a month and a half. I now have a new location miles away which will even last much much longer! And besides, I don't think these wonderers are the worst enemy that will make you lose your stuff. No, the worst enemy imaginable are some of these lazy ass server admins who don't properly manage their servers (unanounced/manual server restarts and shutting down their servers for good without any notice). I've lost many more vehicles and tents because of these guys than some random greedy dude who loots my tents empty. So everything in a nutshell, yes there is a risk that you might lose your stuff but the fact that you can store vital stuff in it like NVGs, food, maps and weapons (for when you die) evens the odds.
