Agreed on the backpacks. I've found more coyote backpacks since this update than I've seen in 2 months playing.

It's really looking like DayZ may not be the game for you. Most of your posts just seem to say the game is too hard. Remove this, change that, make it fair, cupcakes and hugs all around. NO! This mod is not meant to be easy.

Why is everyone afraid of guns? Yep , hueys have them. Find an as50and take the heli out. Some people need to find a new game me thinks.

Well my heli can't catch a break from as50's. Should be removed I suppose. Your argument is invalid. People will not play night time regardless of nvg's. Just as a lot of players won't join populated servers.

When someone asks "How was your weekend?" and you reply with "Pretty shitty. I lost everything."

What I do? I find a nice outta the way spot for my car, tent, atv, whatever. Then I bait the area. A good vehicle that needs a wheel packed with a little loot. Maybe other tents near by but more noticable. I've never lost my main stash by following these tactics. Just try to give the illusion that the bait is the main camp. An atv as your storage can be hidden in pine trees better than anything else. A UAZ where people would find it before stumbling on the atv would create the illusion. UAZ = goldmine for a bandit and your stash stays safe. Also, if the bait is taken, replace it asap to maintain the illusion.

Unarmed being chased by bandits? New spawn I assume? I'd stand there and hope they shot me so I could commend them on their bravery for taking on a lone, unarmed survivor..

This link will give a general idea of where they can spawn. Keep in mind that these are not the EXACT spots you can find them, but it's close. You can see how searching for one on foot may not work very well. http://southcoastbeanwars.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Crashed-Heli-Map-v7.jpg

Spawning stuff for people? No. Pointing people in the "general" direction of a vehicle they're looking for? Maybe. I'm an admin and all I've spawned into my server is a heli for myself (already 2 others on it) and I've loaded myself a few times with tents that I've hidden around the map. I put loot that I find in them for others to stumble across. Of course, the tents also help me out to gear up when I die but we all know how exciting it is to come across a stocked tent running through the forest. When someone finds out I'm admin and asks for a gun or something, I simply tell them where they might find it and possibly offer a ride. I used to say I don't have the power to spawn things but too many people know how to read and research. I know, shocking, isn't it.

That sucks. Admin like that (and the ones who can't decide on a map or mod and switch them out after you spent a week gearing up) are why I'm renting a server. I'd love for someone to find my heli. I even keep it parked where it's pretty visible. If more people posted these things and named the server's they happen on, I believe it would occur a lot less. Who wants to play on a server like that? I think the script kiddies should!

Can you read? Have you seen the hundreds of posts on this forum by people who want vanilla DayZ servers with no added bullshit? If that were true, why are most of those servers empty? Taking away NVG's will NOT fix the empty servers. It's a simple fact that most people feel "entitled" or think everything should be fair and equal. This is why night servers are empty. You can't blame the mod for that. IMO most players need to "man up". The reason people flock to 24hr daylight servers isn't because someone may have NVG's it's because they can't see and they find it's too hard. I have a new server. Set it up vanilla and posted about it. People came on, saw they started with nothing and left. Saw it was night, and left. Never more than 2 players. I switched to 24hr daylight and a Revolver for starting loadout and added 100 vehicles. My server jumped to an average of 10-15 players per night the 1st week. Back to vanilla. empty again. Don't blame NVG's.

They are pretty hard to find now. Even in a chopper it can take an hour of flying to find one. I haven't found ANY in the places I used to find them before the patch.

I don't have a Ural so I can't stockpile as many weapons and ammo as the people who do. It's not fair. Should be removed or given to everyone. I don't have a GPS so I can't pinpoint where I am on the map like the people who do. It's not fair. Should blah, blah, blah.... I don't have a heli so I can't find the ever elusive crash sites like other people. It's not.. ohh FFS! If you want something, work for it. If NVG's were removed, people would cry about being seen when they use the flashlight, chem's or flares. "I don't play at night because visibility is seriously reduced and I keep getting killed when I light Elektro up with flares" would be the new rage in posts. This whole, "make it easy and fair for everyone" cuz "everyone's special and deserves to win" is what's killing gaming (and a lot of other things). DayZ is NOT fair, nor is life in general. Live with it or move on. If the guy next door has something that you want but you can't find one, does that mean it should be outlawed so no one can have it?

A Ural spawns in the one at Green Mountain. I've also found weapons at those buildings but it's usually just cans or Makarov mags.

You're just helping prove our point. The Debug monitor has been added back in. There's your player stats. If you have a bandit skin, you obviously killed players. That's a no brainer.

Do you mean I could have worn pants all this time? D'oh!

I believe we could all use more practice penetrating the bush.

Soooo.. You just want bragging rights?

I've run into the same issue. There's a debug built in now so that may have something to do with it.

I saw the option while testing tents and server restarts but didn't click on it. No idea what it's there for. lol

On my logitech keyboard it's FN + pause break to open it.

They spawn on my server. Found one last night .

New server in the US (east coast) looking for inhabitants. Great place for new players to learn the game and get some friendly help. We have a few lone wolf players and no clans to worry about yet. Vanilla DayZ! Start with a bandage, painkillers and flashlight! Friendly and helpful admin. Might help you locate a specific vehicle, offer rides, offer medical assistance and they may even hook you up with a tent if you want to stay over but can't locate one yourself. Just don't ask for something to shoot them with. ;) 30+ vehicles in various condition. 3rd person:on | Cross hairs:on | Tracers:off | Nameplates:off | Death messages:on 24/7 daylight atm, subject to change. Debug monitor is on.. Side chat is enabled but using voice in side will not be tolerated for long. No stupid "not part of the game" rulez here. Play your way! DayZChernarus - (1.7.5.1/101480) [VETERAN CH:ON][GMT-12] Private Hive - Lost for DayZ | DayZ.ST IP: 173.192.200.126:3119

Changes as of today. Due to the new Z's and changes to weapon spawns in 1.7.5.1, starting loadout now includes a Revolver. Also worth noting, the HMMWV has been spotted on the south coast and there are 3 heli's that haven't been found yet. If you're a friendly survivor, why not come by and say "Hi". If you're a bandit, maybe you can find the admin camp with the SUV. ;)

I still just vault for some reason. My friend thought I was crazy and doing it wrong until he came over and tried for himself. My dude will not dive and roll. :/
