Yea that's what I've been sticking to since last night and didn't seem to have any problems, think I'll check again this morning to see if I've still got my character. ED: SPoke to soon, Logged into You Are Dead, I logged out last night on a wooded hill a good 600 m away from any visible town anyway.

LAst 2 days I've been having severe issues with new character respawns, loading old characters, continuous rubber banding and something similiar to this happened, reset default settings with a new character.

That makes the most sense but I just went on DayZ tonight after a few month break, trying to hook up with a mate who is new to it and with every server closure/kick (Im assuming due to the update) our characters reset. I even ran into a random player after this happened about 4 times who was describing the exact same thing, (as well as happening to his mate who he was also trying to meet up with).

From what I gather it works, but the body doesn't disappear, you just can no longer access the gear.

I think this post by SausageKingofChicago is unintentionally relevant. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/115604-just-saw-rocket-again/

Back in the mod days, first proper kill (after the initial shakes and making my way through the pvp nightmare electro). I teamed up with some guy west of electro, I had a lee enfield and he didn't have anything, since we were both new players we were just exploring and decided to go to the lighthouse on the hill at Cap Golova. Then we heard shots coming back from electro, through the scope I could see a fresh fish running around being shot at by another fresh fish with a makarov. After one had been killed and the other started running back to electro, I thought I'd take a pop at him. Saw the red puff of blood engulf his tiny head, must of been 300-400m. I was so proud, still am seeing as it's a skill I've not been able to reproduce in my 1 1/2 years playing XD Later, we met up with his friend (who had been coordinating the meet for a while) we ran for perhaps 20 minutes north, I know not where, when I thought we were stopping at a vantage point to get a view of where to go next, his friend shot me in the back of the head. First betrayal.

Responding to these points would be accepting your twisted view of this conversation so far. Which I don't. You're a grating hypocrite and i'm glad I don't have to bother wasting my time trying to explain that to you, it was getting too long.

1. Chemical Chance! (atheists exclamaition) I'm very much aware of libertarianism, i'm aware that (as I said before!) it's such a large body of a philosophy that you can easily lump neo conservatives next to anarchists on it. And i'm afraid I havn't got much time between our posts as i'm either sleeping or working, or working in free time (what I believe you call extra extra special for your boss but I call unpaid exploitation). As far as I know Snowden hasn't declared any political allegiances, and seems to of been more criticised on his "left wing" journalism favourtism than any right wing rallying. 2. Stupid diffusal of your stupid critique. 3. Exactly, it's been discussed to death and there are still amazing new revelations every few years (maybe shorter). "Yes I have. I was suicidal myself, though that is a part of my life I wish to forget." Then you need to remember you fucking hypocrite, if it is indeed at all relevant to this conversation. "When people write bad stuff on paper in a game, it is not directed at anyone." - Discriminatory language by definition is directed at specific people. "that person should know" - You really DO NOT understand mental health problems. I could share some examples but I fear from your track record of responses so far I need to write a thesis with schematics to properly put my point across. 4. Are you taking the piss? If you respond, do me the courtesy of finding the quote I originally said, I can't be arsed. It's the weekend and I want to play DayZ 5. So does that mean wealthy is a synonym for winner? And poor is a synonym for loser? 6. MISSED THE FECKING POINT AGAIN! Autism, Down Synodrome are specific conditions, retard as with disabled, broadly defines many very VERY different conditions. "society is going to take every word related to a negative condition and use it as a bat." That sounds very defeatist for someone who believes we should confront prejudice. "Not all of the mentally retarded are offended. Same as not all blacks are offended by nigger." SO do you just have to worry then about only black and disabled peeps being offended? You kind of double down with that impression with this "I experience racism all the time, no big deal", you did say you confront prejudice didn't you? If you want to be a shit in your own home, I do not care, if you want to go into any public place, WITH PEOPLE IN IT (before you come out with some hypothetical stupidity like on mount everest or at the bottom of the ocean), it is not your right to abuse other people for your own empowernment which, as I said before, is fucking pathetic. "Most people use retard not as a offense to retards, but as offense to their friends not around retards or just making foolish remarks around family and such. With the rise of the internet people are sharing these remarks and insults publicly, which mental retard caretakers like you take notice and make it a public issue." Yea should I point out your glaring hypocrisy or your self declared understanding of what most people do. The agony of choice. I'm a support teacher. 7 Well seeing as there are plenty of examples of disabled babies being killed at birth, I would say yea some have had it just as bad. Also, again not knowing where you're from, but where I am from we have seen in the past 2/3 years an alarming rise in attacks on disabeld people, particularily wheelchair users. ED: "Stupid people MIGHT have stupid children because if their sex partner is smart or has many recessive genes for intelligence (which we have little idea what they are) and the stupid person also has these recessive genes for intelligence, then during meiosis the independent assortment might result in the recessive genes coming together, and hopefully you know some genetics to know the rest." I do, I hope this highlighted region clarifies my response, And I hope my next quote, highlights the full cycle of the circle jerk you just performed. "Everyone has a chance of a stupid child, Everyone has a chance of a intelligent child. Everyone has a chance of a retarded child. Everyone has a chance of a dead child."

1. I cannot see your connection between Snowden's expose on mass surveillance and calls for privacy rights and his, or probably your, desire to throw abuse at specific slithers of society in name of freedom of speech. Where I see the connection is his Snowden avatar and the quote as you already know, "leftist liberal social justice retards". If you really want to get into semantics about specifics of ideologies without considering that it's much harder to attain people's political views than simply assigning a huge organ of a philosophy or ideology, let alone subjective interpretation. 2. "No, you don't have to. You don't have to listen to your boss, if you don't you get fired, or maybe you do something extra extra special and you don't. Whatever." What's extra extra special for your boss? "I agree with discrimination needs to be confronted." Well your certainly not putting up much of a fight against it here, I never said I wanted the pen and paper removed until something is done about potential prejudice, don't even know if it's been confirmed that's the reason why it's been taken off so i'm not arguing for it's removal. I'm arguing for someone's perceived interpretation of their right to throw categorically designated abuse out into the public domain, that isn't based on their organisational connections but their genetic, geographical and life choices. But your argument that it doesn't harm anyone is wrong, not too sure where your from but i'm sure you would of come across classic rag mag page filler on teenage suicides from bullying, words can deeply damage people's psychology and physical health too (and i'm not even referring to suicide or self harm there). People have choices to avoid this kind of abuse? Err no they don't. But they do have a choice to confront it, which you claim to agree with. I work in education mate. I know its horrors, won't even try to debate you there, but believe me that is not a sound strategy for bullying or ignorance. "Stupidity only "grows" by sex. If stupid people have sex, they might have stupid children" Do I need to explain my response further? Finally 3. Yeeea I like to think of it as a period of history rather than an event, I like to think I could roughly describe an event in under 30 minutes or so. 4."attempting to show you how these points are wrong ... including lack of proof." "Provided no argument, your opinion, his opinion. No need to be insulting." - This is a statement not an attempt to show me anything. What proof do I need to provide and how could I possibly further help you connect the dots to understand the point I was making. 5. Well again, semantics. But then again, I bet it doesn't say anything about having a wife and a job being a winner. 6. Well then clearly you havn't seen the spectrum of disability, and I don't know where you're from but it's recognised in legislation as derogatory where I am. Because it is, your traditional definition is correct in history but as with every term that has been shorthanded for broadly (and ignorantly really) describing all disabled people, the term has usually ended up catching on in society as being aimed at anything stupid, as per example here. God, I wish I never read this now. Not everyone can reach the same level in education, no matter how much time they have, but given that (at least in my country) the education system is incredibly standardised and limited, that doesn't mean it's accurately measured intelligence. Why do you have to be black to be offended by racism? Why do you have to be disabled to be offended by... ableism? And if you want to get into semantics nigger means black slave. There are two main models on "disabled" people, the medical model and the social model. The medical model suggests that it is a physical or mental abnormality that must be ideally corrected. The social model sees the environment that needs correcting, as much as we shaped stairs, because it efficiently matched our legs for reaching higher levels in a structure, we must also shape the environment for disabled people who are as important and integrated into our economy as we are. That goes for changing shitty attitudes too who believe it is their right to empower their internal narrator by belittling others. 7. Disabled people have been discriminated for a very VERY long time and still are today. ED: Also I'd like to point out as well that I don't think my posts are uncontributing, they're certainly addressing an individual's attitude but I would reckon it's fairly common or uninterested. But IF the actual reason pen and paper has been disabled is because of prejudice, which I hope it isn't, then I'm sure the dev team will be acutely aware of any potential bad public relations, or possibly media campaigns, I don't know. But what I do know is that if that is the case it'd be far better if the solution is created on the forums where there's an attitude towards it akin to battle loggers or server hoppers.

I sense it too, the prospect of holding hands is stirring conflicting emotions.

well, interesting you mention spines and immunity. One thing i've found interesting about recent medical advancements, especially over the last decade or two, is the increasing recognition of the indistinguishment between the limbic system and the immune system, that being between your emotional state and your immune system; that actually your emotions impact on your physical health and immune response as much as your physical health and immune response impacts your emotions. It should be obvious really. As for beating myself bloody, I have very thick skin, so worry not about that, i've already explained the reason for this rant. Holding hands with you and especially the prospect of sipping tea with Prince Charles does offend me though.

and your into some murky techy gabba and bass.. that certainly offends me. ED: No that was a pop up.. :S

Yes it was a DIRECT attack on him and his stupid opinions, which I think I explained has the structural integrity of a wet flannel. 1. I never said Snowden was anything, I was highlighting the stupidity of someone making the statement "God damn leftist liberal social justice retards" whilst sporting the picture of a man currently living in exile due to campaigning for.... social justice. 2. No sorry, there's a few points raised there, let's address them. Firstly you seem to agree with me, that he does not have the authority to tell people what they can or can't be offended by; "leftist liberal social justice retards" "you have some insecurity issues to work out" "fucking retarded to be offended of in the first place" Sorry what? "you no longer have to listen to all these people", I don't know what world you're living in but that is simply not the case, where you work and where you choose to enjoy yourself forces you to listen to people. Point blank, wherever discrimination occurs, it should be confronted, ignoring it does nothing but allow it to ferment. "It is important to listen to these people, and seriously consider them until you reached a certain unmarked level of wisdom" - Errr noooo. I'm not against freedom of speech, but if someone is talking blatant bollocks, you can be dam sure I'm not going to take them seriously. "should you really be offended by many things society says and does?" Depends on the society, if they're stigmatising, belittling a section of society I think you should be, because it's attack on us all, but that's a different line of conversation. "Would you seriously have that ruin your day?" YEs it does, to know that someone has belittled a section of society to make themselves seem superior sickens me. "People are people, don't let it ruin your day if it isn't doing any serious harm to you that you cannot easily, with a click of a button, solve or prevent. You may choose to be offended, and you can definitely choose whether to let it ruin your day or not." SOrry this is such an ignorant statement, your on a public internet forum, how the fuck do you know it's not done any harm, not isolated out individuals who feel intimidated by joining in any discussions. Again ignorance AND stupidity does not go away by ignoring it, it festers and grows. 3. Well it seemed to have an effect on him because he seems to of yet produced his spinal column to respond to me.Also, I wouldn't call the rise of fascism, the outbreak of global war and the mass murder of millions of people (CIVILIANS, not just in the holocaust) across the world, all lasting around a decade... an "event". I perfectly understand his angle, come across many times, but as I explained before, it's an unsustainable flawed opinion, that was my point. 4. Yea I was hoping to keep it brief but if you seriously need an explanation of the comparison I was making of the statement "Political correctness is going to destroy this world I swear." to his previous downplaying of the events of WW2, then I hope you appreciate that i'm not going to write essays for your inability to catch a basic point. 5. Well I guess our specifications for a loser are different then, I certainly class people drawing dicks with swastikas on them as fitting nicely in the loser category. 6. Well I beg to differ, it may seem like semantics but I work with many people with learning and physical disabilities, spot any derogatory words in his rant that may apply to them? Let alone him telling people it's stupid to be offended by the N word... 7.!!!! You do realise that was essentially the point I was making don't you?? I also think it should be brought back, what i'm contending is his opinion, and essentially what is your very sophisticated argument, for your right to abuse people, which IMHO, is fucking pathetic.

Don't know about having them as guard dogs, i like the idea of being able to rope/chain up zombies in certain areas as either a trap or deterrent. But is it really feasable? Surely the one thing you don't want the rope to be attached to is yourself so how could you "position" captured zombies.... maybe some kind of dog/hannibal lector type masks but still, is it even possible to do? I'm not very computer literate.

Sorry you are a grating idiot, let me just point out a few things. 1. "God damn leftist liberal social justice retards." - Remove your profile picture now, or forever be content with being a hypocritical moron. 2. Sorry Mr Arm Chair Pundit, but what gives you the authority to tell people what they can or cannot be offended by, your self righteous snobbery sickens me. 3. You're right about the changes that occur to words. Where you trip up, is your diluted baseline understanding of history and it's effects today. This sentence proves that, "World war 2 was 70 god damn years ago and none of you were a part of it. I doubt you have anyone you know that is still alive from it." The swastika has been used for thousands of years (something you acknowledge but don't seem to notice how it contradicts your "ignore 70 years ago"), the reason why it is now associated with nazism, is because germany 1930's is the ONLY EXAMPLE, of a nazi state. A state that embraced the symbol and then pushed on to conduct not only the most devestating war in human history but also examples of the WORST, most barbaric behaviour humans can conduct. That's a pretty hard symbol to change the meaning of, and it certainly isn't going to be done by some generic pop idol trying to "reclaim" it, it would take a postive movement on the scale of the WW2 to change the meaning of that symbol. If you can't understand/appreciate that then go back to school boy. 4. "Political correctness is going to destroy this world I swear." Only someone brazen enough to talk about nazism and how ww2 was 70 years ago (get over it!) would follow up with something as ridiculously numb and stupid as that. 5. "I would draw a penis with a swastika on it for shits and giggles" How old did you say you are? You're a fucking loser. 6. If any Moderator has been brought in here, to assess my statements for breaking forum rules and possibly edit them, then you better not overlook how the quote above is essentially down playing racism. PS, 7. The world, and the things that happen in it, are bigger than you, me and our lifetimes. Do not be so fucking naive to assume you can sum up your two cents on the world and everyone in it. Things that happened hundreds of years ago, are very much relevant today.
