what i'd like to see: work on audio ( #1 to hear Z's, and #2 fix that day1 problem of hearing people across the map combine ammo/munching etc due to some other player being near you) remove, or severely cripple, gamma adjustment (used to love stumbling in the dark, being forced to use torches, glowsticks etc from time to time) denser/more remote forests as mentioned above couple more basic vehicles (common gaz etc for road, rare but offroad/easier to hide uaz)

eating canned food much quicker/easier/cheaper than preparing fresh food

what fix do you believe is required for private hives?

just checked it again right now. could use two steam accounts on same dayz server fine (using single install of dayz through steam) the character name at the main menu stays the same regardless of what steam account i was logged in as, but in-game it was different characters.

logging out in steam, then logging in with another steam account...allows two people here to use two separate characters on same machine. the character (i.e. equipment/clothes) you see at main screen i think are representative of whoever played last on the machine, not necessarily who is currently logged into steam. But once you join server...it will be under the character associated with that steam account

i hope they are persistent. walk behind another person? crawl along prodding dirt with knife?

yawn, yet another another thread on tent persistence. i put several tents down last saturday, and they were still there this morning (i.e. survived wednesday maintenance)

smersh backpack - just found one in outhouse

i would have thought the quarry NE of the NWAF would be a go'er (not that i've managed to find any there myself yet)

well that would be funny if all these disappearing tents attributed to persistence problems, were indeed still on the server but popping up elsewhere :) should put a message on your server asking people to contact you if they lost a tent... confirm the contents match what you saw, then you two can pass on coords to the dev, of where the tent was placed, vs where it magically appeared. might help dev identify a cause.

server renting companies (vilayer at least) have made persistence OFF an option again Due to the problems with persistence and the master/slave servers we have been given permission to enable the persistence tool again, you can now remove persistence from your server if you are having problems with loot.

with persistence OFF, the deployed tents will be gone also after a restart. with persistence ON, there are currently issues...some servers seem to maintain (persist) deployed tents after a restart some/most of the time...others are not at all. hence them 'being bugged'. and being wednesday "server maintenance day"...tents may be wiped anyway (unless packed up and held on a character)

well to add to that: even if the OP has a good connection, his target could be a 400 'HPB' so if killing people is your primary reason for playing , you would need to ensure you're on a server that kicks people with >150 (i made that number up) pings.

no ego here cupcake. mods agreed they needed to be merged, clearly you do not - go get yourself a box of tissues until you are a moderator

look you pathetic creature, my comment #45 was responding to one of the other hundreds of threads whinging about tent persistence admins merged it into here grow the fuck up, my posts in this thread have been trying to establish a correlation of server type/timings etc

quit acting like a child Mookie. as boneboys identified&merged, over 200 hits for the exact same topic. back onto tents: private server (vilayer) still has them present this morning, so they've lasted 5 days. so is this a problem on public servers only?

can't un-read what one would assume to be a contribution to the forum. if you want forum spamming, go elsewhere "mate"

yawn, another thread on tents. on me private server, i had some disappear shortly after 0.55 was released. Tents i have put down on saturday onward, are all still there with contents.

My two tents are still there, after 5 restarts now. Did they implement a fix? if you're going to say you lost one...at least state when that was, so we can build up a picture of current state.

hmm, after reporting tents not persisting earlier... one tent another person has put down, and one i put down...both (civvy tents) just survived a server restart (private single server 'hive') Restart was 17:00 Australian Eastern Time, 5APR2015

i pitched one earlier (right click in backpack) after restart...gone (occurred on private server)

this occurred to me in 0.52 also. I would walk away 50m or so, come back, and it would then be visible. only 1/2hr ago I was on persistence on server...gun dropped whilst I was eating. I walked away, came back..couldn't find it still. server restarted about 5 mins later, and after the restart the gun was lying on ground where I had been eating. It was in a house though (might be less reliable outside of houses?)

there's plenty new if you bothered to play, unlike the plethora of these threads...

so that's the way 'everyone' wants to play then, isn't it ? nobody is stopping you from playing the way you want. nobody is stopping you making videos of scavenging/running between cities. in fact it would be interesting to see just how much interest that sort of video would generate...

water deaths could also be from people who put a lead weight on the W key whilst off doing other things, then forgetting to come back in time...
