You should be spawing in with a Coyote Patrol Pack. Sounds like a bug. Did you spawn in the water or swim by any chance?

If battleye kicked for scripting you may not be getting back in. Have you tried to log back in since this happened?

So let me get this straight. You KNEW you were entering an area that comes with an extremely high risk of getting shot and then when you get shot you are surprised? What exactly did you think was going to happen?

I've found myself playing on this server quite a lot lately and was wondering, do you reboot on a schedule or just randomly? Can't recall ever seeing a reboot in the many hours I've been on... By the way, thanks for hosting a server near me.

Never seen an RGO Frag Grenade before (#4 Link @ 4:55), is that a legit item?

Exactly. Unless the server specifies this setting in the title (and most will not) you are never going to know what the server setting is until you either lose your pack swimming, or don't. I guess you could contact your server admin directly...

It's really random. I've seen items immediately disappear when they dropped (glitch), I set my rifle down on a dirt road last night while I killed a goat with a hatchet. One minute it was there, the next time I looked it was gone. I've been able to set a backpack down many times, occasionally it drops into the ground / dissapears and other times you may not be able to pick it back up again. The best rule of thumb is to never put anything down that you cannot spare losing. If you must, put your item into an existing loot pile (this is a very safe way of dropping items that you plan to pick back up).

They are not mutually exclusive at all. I spend much of my time playing lone wolf, but that time is also spent doing logistical things which come into play when my friends and I get together on the weekends. So yeah, I take offense when you take it upon yourself that...well.... "soloing had to take a hit". Luckily, you don't get to decide shit as far as what takes a hit and what does not. Hopefully the devs will understand that solo play is already somewhat gimped when compared to co-operative play. Co-operative play is something to be desired in the game, but not at the expense of other viable methods of play.

Don't eat. Go on a hunger strike. It's the new respawn.

You lost me right there. Solo play is a viable method of play which many people enjoy. There are a multitude of ways to play this game, all of which are viable. Lone wolf play does not need a deterrent.

I just got shot a few minutes ago in the woods north of Solnichniy by someone I did not ever see (sounded like a shotgun). No problem, they got the drop on me and I paid the price, or so it would seem. My concern is that when I respawned on the beach immediately after, I had an AS50 with 6 clips, NVG, Rangefinder, Ghille, a full tool belt, etc. Didnt check the Coyote Backpack for contents as I just wanted to get the hell off of the server but I'm going to go ahead and assume it was full of shit as well. This is a server I play regularly but there were only 3 people on at the time other than myself. Tristan Edwinre Pete Been playing since early may with no obvious hack encounters but this one seems to fit the bill....but I'm kinda surprised if a hacker would hang out on a server with so few people. Anyhow, just looking for sugestions, what now? Don't really want to run around all kitted up like this when I already have legitimate gear inland. Should I feed myself to the zeds?

Srry man too late, just fed myself to the zeds and respawned in Electro with a regular starting kit. However, I have to admit this whole medic movement is really appealing to me. I remember way back when Return to Castle Wolfenstein came out I was one helluva determined medic and it's been my class of choice ever since. You should shoot me a PM. Given the lack of endgame, I think it might add a purpose to the game which really does not exist for me at this point...

Sure, but I just died tonight after 28 days surviving, and I was really enjoying the starting over again. I dont want easy gear. The best part of the game is finding it, not waking up with it. I have all this same gear inland and all I have to do is walk to get it. Without some kind of challenge what is the point? EDIT: Done deal....I fed myself to the pack. Back to starting gear for me....

the Arma 2 1.62 Beta patch made some corrections to some of the weapons to bring them more in line with real world ballistics. Unfortunately, this also affected the damage models in DayZ. I would expect the new damage model will be adjusted in a future DayZ release. As for the zed behavior, I just played my first game with 1724 and zombies have never been so easy....though I never had to shoot one....hell they were so easy to lose I never had to shoot. Had one walk into a log house with me and stare me in the face from 4 feet away, then turned right around and walked away.

Fuck it. I'll get eaten, I dont want this gear.

Bullshit.

What the hell are you talking about. The map was created by BIS, not rocket. If he had created this map, I would be in awe, it took an entire team nearly a year to make. I'm gonna go ahead and say that you dont really know what the hell you are talking about, K?

It seems to be an issue with Gamespy only returning 500 servers to the server browser (A2, Six, DC) are all affected.

Well to be fair, he said he didnt see any reason he couldn't release a standalone this year, not that he would. I'd be shocked if he pulled it off personally, but who knows what him and BIS have up their sleeve. For all we know he already has already arranged access to source code and will pay licensing fees out of proceeds. It's anybodys guess at the moment....

I understand that. But the reading in the debug monitor was not reporting correctly, hence it was disabled. Sorry if I was unclear.

Do people not read anything about what is going on with this project? The mod for power plants already exists and it is very deep in the way it functions. All of the transmission lines on the map are already connected into grids and they share transmission in many areas, there are even cameras at the stations where you can visually (and audibly) check functions. This is all coming to DayZ according to Rocket. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dXEORT6Ziw

Hello. this is why it was removed. Rocket has said a bunch of times that the temperature system is broken. No surprise.

After updating to 1724 I immediately spawned into debug. Aborted, spawned on a beach with all gear. As a bonus I ran back to where I was previously and there was dead me, complete with a full complement of gear....

Stop treating this as a game and start looking at it as a work in progress. Rocket has said many times that he does not want a HUD at all (let alone a debug panel). Getting cold will be handled later on with visual cues, you start shivering, you hear audio cues. Stop freaking out over how things are now (in a half-game) and start thinking about how it will play out in a finished game. fuck.

You do understand that the stated goal of the project is to find ways to remove the HUD entirely (of course the debug pane will be gone as well). It's only a matter of finding ways to convey the old HUD information via other mechanics.
