    Laser Marker

    The only legit laser sight is the one on the L85A2 AWS, that gun has a laser sight that can only be seen with night vision.

    Question/Help request about DayZ UI

    It is a bug with the current 1.7.2.6 patch, its best to play without the debug at all for now, and only use it when your safe to check blood levels, the rest a server will tell you (Hunger, Thirst, If you killed somebody look for (XXXX has died) in chat)

    Helicopter spawn points & frequency

    Helicopters can spawn in places shown at http://www.dayzdb.com/map Helicopters have a chance of spawning back to spawn upon server restart, after it has crashed. Otherwise helicopters can take up to 13days to respawn at a default location.
  7. Try DayZcommander, it tells you if your on the latest patch, keeping track of dayZ, lingor, and takistan, and your arma2 beta.
  8. they will go to where they were last saved, if they were never saved i assume they'll go to default broken down. @chopper, if its the restart glitch bug it should re-appear, assuming you saved it, if you didn't it will be at one of 2 places: Default spawn, broken down. Wherever it was last saved.
  9. Servers do not delete things, the following things happen upon restart: All inventories are returned to their last save & save location (so unsaved vehicles with loot in will return to spawn with empty inventory) If a restart occurs and tents / vehicles are not on the map then the restart glitched, a second restart should fix the problem. Flattened tents will re-build themselves with the inventory they had on last save. As for your helicopter moving by itself, if not stolen it MAY has reset to its original spawn broken, haven't heard it happen yet on latest patch, but its possible I assume.

    Vehicles still bugged?

    Vehicles do save in the current patch, when we updated a few vehicles did reset, but that was the old patch. Yes, restarts on this patch sometimes deplete the vehicles fuel, but if your driving with no jerry cans, why are you driving that far away?

    Dookie the hacker...

    ^ +1, I'm an admin on UK333 and will vouch for this: He moved all veichles from their locations. He global killed everybody online. Ported Players around. Ported himself and his friend to players and killed them using a M4A1 SD. Ported himself to me invisible, and started talking trash in direct chat. Quote "If you ban me, i'll just keep coming back. Have fun with your destroyed server" ~~Server restart fixed the entire server, he wasn't smart enough to save the vehicles. ~~To all those playing when this occurred, we apologise for what happened, and the hacker and his friend are banned from our server as of the 3am server restart on September 3rd.

    1.7.2.6 - Problem with tents still?

    Tents are working fully, updated our server, placed a tent down, put item in it, saved the tent, took the item, restarted the server, items were back in the tent. Works fine for us, the tree thing isn't the problem, we tested that. The only issue i've found with tents is placing one, saving it, then re-packing it up. On server restart the tent seems to be packed up in my backpack and also pitched on the ground I took it from, having like 13tents under a tree cause you keep moving it to hide it that little bit better is frustrating!

    Non Leathal Rounds?

    Putting LTL (Less Than Lethal) weapons in the game would cause allot of issues. 1) Balancing, you'd have to introduce a 2nd form of 'health' that needs to be constantly monitored. A game called All Points Bulletin did this using physical health and stamina, only problem is if stamina was introduced to DayZ, surely it would be easier to stun people after they've been running...Don't we all love being shot by an LTL shotgun slug soon as we turn a corner and being 1shot. 2) Rarity, typically only the police have LTL rounds, so police station need to be introduced, yes this opens the doors for multiple paths like clothing, a safe zone. The rarity of these rounds would directly affect the rarity of every other round because people would weigh up the benefits of stunning somebody over killing them. 3) Grievers, the meaning of LTL is meant to stun people, what would you do after stunning them? kill them? can't arrest them cause law does not exist in DayZ. Essentially the only thing that could be done is they are either stunned for a long period of time, left to any chasing zombies (if they were running from them, is still the same outcome as killing them!) or for a player to Tbag, dance on, and verbally abuse the stunned player.
  15. We are already there is terms of photo realism, just lighting needs abit of tweaking now. In terms of "Player Amount VS Visual Pleasure" -depends on the style of game intended.

    Can somebody shoot me please

    Probably need to figure out where you are and get somebody to kill you, if your only half in the ground your still shoot-able I guess... http://dayzdb.com/map might help you figure out where you are if you can remember the turns you took in the truck.

    Choppers

    Saving apparently be fixed by installing an older hive version, I personally have no idea if it works or how to do it, its just something my clan posted up in chat when we were looking around. Use at your own risk: http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/z6p65/fixserver_side_how_to_save_items_in_tents_and/
  18. Patch 1.7.2.5 = Vehicle locations are all that save. Vehicle inventory, Tents, Tent Inventory, Dropped Backpacks, all these DO NOT save after a server restart.
  19. Seems fine to me, turn auto-hover off after taking off each time.

    Confused on the loot system.

    To be stealthy yes, or just ride there, get off, and play follow-the-leader with zombies for 5minutes.

    Confused on the loot system.

    You enter the area to quickly after a server restart, ill explain Every-time a server goes down, all the loot, bodies, vehicles, and tents are wiped (patch 1.7.2.5) -this means the server is 100% clean, and has only loaded the pre-setup elements (vehicles, the floor, buildings, ect) Loot is not included in pre-setup, once a player has visited an area, the loot spawn in for the entire server. For example, now once you have visited the airfield and waited for loot to spawn, loot will always be at the airfield from then-on, (Until the server goes down for w/e reason) Because the server has loaded that section of the map in terms of random loot generation. Loot will spawn after around 5minutes, whether you are in the building or not (Just today on my own server I stood in a store after a restart and it spawned around me)

    Remove Thermal Abilities From Weapons

    Thermal exists in the real-world, and while DayZ isn't the most realistic of game, its certainly trying to be with its elements (hunger, thirst, body temp.) Don't confuse Realsim with Balance, Yes thermal may be a challenge for you to overcome, but it can't see through tree-trunks or through walls, so use the environment to your advantage to counter their advantage of better gear. From experience with the L85 thermal, i can say i personal don't use it for killing, the aiming isn't that good and i hate the amount of zoom on it for an assault rifle, so using it to spot is my own need for it, you still have the 5ish seconds for me to switch to a Sniper with better zeroing or zoom, and to load it before I can shoot, so keep moving!

    Dayz players in last 24 hours

    I think Players means how many are playing at that moment in time, Unique players is how many individual accounts have been used (One person could have 10accounts, which counts as 10 unique, but he can only log in one at a time, putting 9extra additions.)
