I reported an issue on the bug tracker where in the current version items disappear and or are rearranged within the hunter back pack when logging out and then logging back in. I didn't include this in my report but I've also noticed that my character moves a few feet after logging out and logging back in. I did not notice the character movement after the very recent update that took place yesterday (33.114926) Please visit the link and vote. Thanks! http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=8070

You've just gotta be more careful when helping people. Most of the time when I help another player the scenario starts with me yelling, "Get on the fucking ground right now!!" in direct. If they comply, I am able to help them. If they don't, they die. That is the cruel world that is DayZ. You can't take chances even when playing the hero. To play the hero, you have to be in control of the situation. This means in control of everything. You have to have the drop on them first and foremost, you have to watch them from hiding for a while to see if they are truly alone. You have to wait until the setting is correct. Never stop someone on the coast or in the middle of a town. Get them while they are transferring between towns. Also, if you are in a military area, all bets are off, those areas are kill or be killed as far as I'm concerned. I usually get in and get out, but if I run into anyone at a military base I have to kill them. There are rare exceptions to all of these rules such as server pop. opponents kit appearance and so on. I'm usually much tenser on high pop servers. If I can clearly see that the person has nothing, I give them at least two extra seconds to comply or I may be more likely to approach them in a military area. It should be noted that all of my rules are helpful to bandits as well. The end result is the only difference. EDIT: OP I have to tell you that my first post on this forum was very similar to yours. Stick with it man, the path of the hero is tough but ultimately the funnest way to play the game. I still think that banditing is the easy way out.

Dead thread is dead. OP is just trying to up his post count at this point. It is obvious that the majority of the player base is completely fine with this change. I've been playing the experimental build for almost a week and have yet to be killed while logging out. No one has ghosted my character and I've killed people that tried to log out after I saw them. It works.

Also,I thought the crossbow was ready to go.

Not according to NWA it isn't. You gonna correct them? I grab my sawed off bodies get hawled off. . . you slag. EDIT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sawed-off_shotgun

I don't think it's a stupid question at all. I still believe the cliche that there are no stupid questions. I'm not familiar with this game but this seems to be a pretty good explanation: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/175363

The tents were spawning way to much loot and encouraging server hopping. I hope they don't go back to the way they were.

I haven't lost a character to a patch yet. Aside from the security update done during the first week of alpha all of my characters have been fine.

Just enjoy god tier 2.0 It consists of a can of food and a screwdriver. Just kidding, I had an awesome time playing on a 50/50 experimental server last night. I really felt like I was fighting for survival. I was almost on the verge of starvation when I found a can of spaghetti. That allowed me to make it to a small far Western town that was amazingly untouched. It was really really fun.

Not on the experimental build you don't. I have yet to die from falling. My friend and I both tested it last night and neither of us were able to die from a fall of any height.

That's just pure evil. If you brine my coffee I'll box your ears son!!

You haven't met the rabbits from my neighborhood.

Exactly. I'm so tired of this complaint, but it pales in comparison to the complain that will come once vehicles are implemented. Then it will be "Oh god, there's NO parts, it took three hours to fix and then I died.... blah. blah. BLAH."

Then do it by creating your own thread under the suggestions heading: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/forum/128-suggestions/ That's what it's there for. This isn't the "shout from the mountaintops" thread.

People need to grow up. This thread isn't the "every crazy has a voice" thread. If you have a legitimate suggestion, make a topic in the suggestions category. That's what it's for. For crying out loud stop with the personal insults.

I assume that his main problem was the fact that he jumped the gun completely. I'm guessing his silence was him talking to his buddies in teamspeak and asking, "How close are you guys? He said that's not happening. I'll try to just keep him up there!! Shit, he's coming down!!!"

I was in the military jail in cherno apartments one night. A voice comes over direct, "Drop your gun and come down the stair." I thought he sounded like a teenage punk. I said, "Uh, that's not happening." His response, complete and total silence. I think I heard him crap his pants. I walked slowly to the steps and when he poked his head around, 5.56 right in the face. He had so much good shit. He didn't even need my stuff. To that dude: If you are going to rob someone in a military building, you better come correct with guns blazing. Why in the hell would I possibly drop my gun and submit to you?

It's 30 seconds dude. Find a spot away from loot and or zombie spawns and log out. Hell have a buddy watch your back while you log out and take turns on each other. . . kinky. The timer sucked in the mod. People just camped with the timer constantly running all the time. This fix is awesome. I played the new system all night with no problems.

!!!!FATALITY!!!!

Damn Rocket! You zee man. I played the experimental branch all night and I love it. At one point my character looked so unique. In other words, I know I will never have that combination of clothes and items on again as long as I play this game, so much variety already. And it is still Alpha!

Played the experimental branch all night. Awesome changes. Why do the servers restart so often? One of them was restarting every five minutes. I'm sure it's to test restarts and spawn points or something I was just curious.

What about the countless amount of other scenarios that could happen? What if your buddy watches your back while you log out and it's perfectly fine? What if some dude tries to log out when you legitimately surprise him looting a barrack and you smoke him and take his stuff? What about the hundreds of times you log out in the woods and nothing bad happens at all? What about the fact that Rocket has already mentioned a different system that will be enabled after tents and camps are set up? What about the game being in alpha? What about the fact that this solution deals with one of the number one complaints that people have about DayZ?

I hope you learned at least this: "immagine you are in combat. a Ghost can take cover and wait for the 30s cooldown you propose. then change server and move to another spot. wait for the another 30s cooldown, and then logging back at your side and shoot you. in the current state a "wannabe-ghost" is forced to leave his character unharmed for the 30s. it will not solve the problem completly, but give you a possibility to shoot that mofo down before he can "swap-server-logback"

Also, if you play with friends just have them watch your back. Take turns being the last one to log out.
