My guess would be one of the smaller cars... the little blue miracle bus perhaps... It's really the most generic vehicle.

Please feel free to refer me to the respective topic or site if this is properly explained somewhere. So... let me list the information that got through to me on one way or another: - Items that you put somewhere will stay on that spot on that server even through server restarts - Server restarts will no longer trigger loot to respawn - Loot will respawn dynamically (however that works) - There will be something like global loot... uh... a certain number of a certain item across all servers? -ish? What I don't understand with this system: How do we avoid to at some point just virtually drown in tossed-away ruined items? Or will those disappear at some point? What if someone hunts for rare items just to throw them away in the middle of nowhere or outside of the map for shits and giggles? They'll stay there until someone just happens to stumble upon them? Or what?

That's good to know. xD I wasn't aware both kinds of servers violate the rules.

Well there are also plenty servers that will just kick you upon joining without further ado... For me that's just another kind of "password protected"

Are they? Because I see quite a few password protected servers every time I go through the server list... o.O Or maybe I'm thinking about another game right now... not entirely sure... uh... 70%... 75...

Are you just being superstitious or do you really think that the developers change the loot tables as soon as they see that we know where to expect what to spawn? :D

So, is there anything that would prevent people from hunting for rare loot and putting them in a tent on their own password protected server? I do hope there is, but I tend to doubt it...

Thanks for the information :)

I ran that route with my friend yesterday evening. A group of at least two people has been to every place slightly before us, and apparently been duping the shit out of everything. That there was nothing worth mentioning left for us wouldn't bother me so much if it hadn't been so obvious those guys were cheating too... Hell some of the barracks looked like a whole battalion had exploded in there...

True. It was only a few days ago, my friend was shot in a police station, I shot his killer. My buddy swore he heard multiple shots (like you'd hear from an M4 or another assault rifle), but the guy only had a Mosin. And that's what I heard.

CSGO has guns in funky liveries. No need for DayZ to have them.

Happens to me a lot. 80% of the time when my friend shoots with his Mosin or his FNX45, I can't hear anything, even if he's standing right beside me.

I remember swimming to Skalisty Island and back. I lost my backpack and I think my axe and my rifle on the way (or seemed to), but they reappeared after a couple of seconds back on land.

It's something that takes up an item slot without having any use to me. I'd just throw it out.

If it was due to swimming it will reappear after less than a minute back on land. Anyhow, why would you - in DayZ, of all games - just let your character run around afk???

I believe camo does matter. My current regular char wears full camo clothing and more often than not my friend loses sight of me in the forest although I'm right in his field of view, not even five meters away. I have to move for him to actually realise where I am.

Fixed that for ya... xD

Yesterday I thought that for the first time I could just ignore a zombie me and my friend had on us. We heard the screams but were wondering where the hell the zombie was. Looking through the window of a nearby house we saw that it was in there, in a room with the door closed. It couldn't get to us, so we just thought, screw it, and left. Well no... We went maybe 30 meters and suddenly it was behind us. *slow clap* The Houdini of zombies...

I only had the M4 once and I didn't like it. Shot it empty and then threw it away on Skalisty Island. Found the AK yesterday and left it there... I keep wondering what the hell I need an assault rifle for...

Police stations. If they haven't been looted already, more often than not you'll find something useful there.

Sorry, this doesn't really pertain to anything you said, content-wise, but are you, by any chance, Christopher Walken?

lol that looks like an eastern version of the "Mare's Leg" sawed-off winchester :D

I have one currently and I'm pretty sure I got it after the patch. Can't find more ammo though, I'm down to 12 rounds or so. The place I can most frequently find the Magnum is the single room on the third floor of school buildings.

Haha, no. I will never again crouch in front of a zombie. Last time I did that I died.
