Find one server and stick with it. If it still doesn't save find a different server till you find one that works and stick with that one. As stated there's 1st and 3rd Person servers, and data does not transfer between the two. IE if you fully gear up with military stuff on a 1P server and join a 3P server, you'll be a freshspawn (or whatever you were last time you joined a 3P server). Also it's possible that you are being killed somehow when you log out. Your character stays in game for about 30 seconds (it may be longer), so if someone's been stalking you for some time and see you sit down, they can shoot you in the head and take your stuff, or if you were being chased by a zombie and log out the zombie has a pretty good chance of killing you before you disappear, then you'll respawn when you log in again. Another thing that I'm not sure of and may have been solved already is that GSPs (game service providers) may or may not transfer information between different companies. There's also bugs where your character fails to load, and if you log out fairly quickly and try again you'll get it back, but if you stay in you'll overwrite your old info I'm a bit curious as to why you have two copies of DayZ.

He meant temperature, IE it'll be cold as FUCK come December (which is why people fully geared up on experimental were suffering hypothermia) where as when summer comes we might actually start suffering from hyperthermia.., I would assume the OP meant weather as in rain/sunny. If he meant temperature then that should be fairly soon as that's an intended option for when they get it working.

I don't think the tools are in place to alter weather and timing on shards yet (and by timing I mean the flow of time, accelerated time was talked about as an option later on down the road)

Good idea, maybe something like a week? Yeah to either clear a heli pad or collect resources for a base, that might encourage people to team up as well, send a team out to go chop wood and load it into a truck so the base won't get exposed. Or the opposing end, chopping down trees near a well known, well established base to deny cover to attackers/scouts

I think the reason why it was removed (for now) was clipping issues. It'll probably be back once they resolve it.

For Public servers you can only kick abusive players/cheaters. There's no such stipulation for Shards. You may want to consider shutting down your server or switching over to a shard instead, keep in mind you'll be off of the main hive if you do that. Though shards do show potential, as from the sounds of it you'll be able to link different shards together to 'share' a hive. So you could say have 3 shards on the same hive.

Don't think you're allowed to do this, at least not with public servers. Fish up a copy of both (current) rules Public - http://dayz.com/files/pdf/Server_Hosting_Rules_Public.pdf Shard - http://dayz.com/files/pdf/Server_Hosting_Rules_Private.pdf did a quick read and you can do it with a private shard. Though if you go to a private shard you probably won't have the problem of your server being full, unless people really like your server as I'm pretty sure Shards are on their own like Private Hives in the Mod.

Been suggested many times. First of all, there won't be any non infected human NPCs in game. Locomotives are difficult to start up, let alone repair (I barely know how to turn a simple switcher that I've been riding in for something like 8 years, let alone remember which brake is the engine brake and which one's the train brake). There's locos and boxcars in game already.

Bottle Rockets confirmed as attachment.

Assuming you weren't just banned for having a cracked version, you get it from Steam, just like how you downloaded the game. Verify your files. Unless you mean the mod, in which case I have no Idea as I don't actively follow the mod anymore.

Some kind of short range scope or even a RDS would be nice, as well as a silencer (when they function) and maybe a flashlight (weather it's a rail light or ducktape and a flashlight). The mags for the sporter are rare, but it's still a good zombie gun. Not really sure if the PU scope would 'fit' on a 10/22 without a bit of gunsmithing.

Eat, drink, and heal up. Sprinting makes your weapon sway worse. Don't use 3rd person or hip fire unless your using a shotgun at close range. Ironsights, not the dot.

Well, we're gonna have to boil water eventually to sanitize it. Maybe some uninsulated containers could also act as warmers? Probably a poor example, but say put a rock in the fire, take it out after it gets hot and put it in your jacket to warm you up faster. 'Cooking' can food would be a good idea too. Nothing better than a warm meal when you're cold, or alternately you could warm up the unopened can and either hold onto it or put it in your pockets and that would carry over heat.

There will be diseases, that's been confirmed. As for moving hostages/captives, don't really know how they'd go about doing that other than some 'dual' animation when you physically drag/move the person, like how they had a drag wounded animation in Arma2

Why did I picture a mansized slingshot near a river with a NZ Beret and pair of Rocket Aviators on the ground next to it?

Spray Fireman's Ax with Gold Spray Paint Spray M4 With Gold Spray Paint Spray Sawnoff Shotgun with Gold Spray Paint Consume Gold Spray Paint I have a funny taste in my mouth... "Aww fuck..."

Quite you. It'll make it easier to Identify the people that NEED to be killed...

I haven't checked it on the standalone as stealth is a crapshoot when zombies are concerned (at least for now), but in the mod grass would stay trampled down for a while (forget the exact amount of time but someone said it would stay down around an hour). I think there were even foot prints for a similar amount of time, they'd show up even on roads (or rather they were the most visible on roads). I'm all for methods of tracking other players, so beans for you.

Radiation Zone? No, as mentioned if there was some sort of radiation leak or other cause it'd be all over the relatively small map with only a few tiny safe zones. Snow Zone...maybe. With the recent talk about the temperature being set to different values depending on the time/month (which is why there was a shit ton of people on experimental bitching about dying in 40 mins of spawn from hypothermia) I would think actual seasons may be coming, wither it's loading up the 'winter' version of the map or some sort of real time season change (highly unlikely but would be cool).

I think that there should be 100s of 'repairable' vehicles, but there should only be enough parts to fully repair like 10 or so, and maybe enough leftovers for say 20 partly repaired vehicles (missing windows/doors, hoods, leaky gastanks engines that don't always start right away, ect). Taking parts from non repairable and repairable vehicles should the the most common source of parts. But we'll see how things turn up when they actually add vehicles.

'Soon' TM They mentioned them recently in a devlog, given recent track records it could be in the next 'major' experimental update or it could be a month or two.

Not yet, good idea though, used to be able to have your lantern on in your inventory and it'd light the area around you, wasn't able to do it last time I tried and had to hold it. Hope they change it back.

Hero/Bandit system is never going to be added. Any system they do add would be exploited like the Mod's humanity system, Those two 'heros' that wave you down are gonna handcuff you and beat the shit out of you, steal your blood and let a zombie kill you so they don't get the 'heat' from killing you.

That's why they're slowly changing out parts of the old engine and replacing it with the new engine.
