They also spawn in Barracks.

According to a reliable source, a "badly damaged" LRS on a Mosin causes the bullet to drift to the left... But it's only noticeable at extremely long ranges (like, 800 meters), and it's very minor.

Metal or Punk rock.. Not sure which.

1. I had 11k humanity in the mod, and did plenty of PvP. Earned my hero status long ago. 2. I have an idea if they're bandits or not. As I said, I have killed maybe 2-3 presumably "innocent" players. Never killed a fresh spawn/unarmed player knowingly. Helped many people. If you're sitting on sniper hill with a full kit, you're a bandit. If you and a squad of 3 friends log into ATC at Balota, you're a server hopper. If you shoot my friend who's lagged out at the North Barracks of NWAF, you're not a friendly. If you're standing on top of the rock in Kamyshovo shooting fresh spawns with mosins, you're a murderer/asshole. These are just a few examples of many actual experiences. 3. I don't *usually* randomly shoot people who haven't previously fired shots themselves, or who do not look like they're up to no good. (IE - camping elektro/balota, etc.). You can either take my word for it or not.. I understand there are many people on these forums who say "oh yeah I killed a bunch of bandits", and you're right, they're just KOSing under the guise of being a good guy, but that doesn't mean there aren't good guys out there. If possible I will always try to talk to someone before giving them a free ride back to the coast.

Sorry to say it, but you're wrong. 1. There is no Zeroing on the pistols. Their effective range is about 25m, before they start falling off or dispersion kicks in to the point of them being wildly inaccurate. At about 50-70 meters, it once took me 8 shots to kill a zombie. I was laying prone, perfect health, not exhausted, pressed "hold breath" for a moment, gun was pristine, ammo was pristine, was aiming directly at center mass, and had a pristine Red Dot sight on it.. In other words: Pistols are extremely inaccurate at 50m's. 2. The muzzle velocity of a pistol fired within it's effective range would not allow the round to travel far enough to make a difference due to "zeroing".. You could zero it at 25, 50, 100, 200, or 800, and as long as you were firing within 25 meters, it wouldn't matter.. The rounds trajectory would not have enough time to deviate more than a few inches (if that).

Stick to tree lines. Don't cross open fields if you can help it. Before entering a town/military base/area, scope it out for a good 1-5 minutes, to see if you notice any movement. Use 3rd person perspective to your advantage.. If you stand behind a wall you can see over the wall and nobody on the other side can see you. (Cheap, yes.. but effective.)

That's not relevant. I said I shoot military geared guys at airfields, and kitted players camping elektro/other spawn towns.. You made a wise-ass remark about "heroes killing heroes claiming they're bandits."... I don't have to justify my judgment to you. I'm sure I've made mistakes and killed an "innocent" player before... In fact, I know I have.. I killed a guy at Veresnik military base that didn't have a ranged weapon, and I felt bad about it.. But if he had a weapon, and I had hesitated, I could have died.. That's DayZ for you. Besides, you're a self-proclaimed murderer.. who are you to talk?

Hate to break it to you buddy, but if you're wearing a ballistic helmet and a gas mask, or you're wearing a Clown Mask: You're dressed like a bandit. Furthermore, I count server-hoppers as "Bandits", so in that case i don't care how they are dressed, but I can't remember ever shooting one that wasn't decked out with camo. For that matter, I can't think of a single player I've shot that WASN'T decked out in camo and a ballistic helmet.

Been playing since Stand Alone was released, with about 246 hours of play time... Most kills on a single life: 7. I'm at 6-7 on my current life.. 1 of them I couldn't confirm, so he may have got away. 4 out of the others were in a group at the ATC at Balota, and picked them off 1 by 1. Wiped their entire squad. Estimated kill count: ~50-70? Estimated Bambies helped: ~10 Estimated Combat Logs: Countless... Probably as many as actual kills I've got. Keep in mind, that's ~50 kills playing as a hero.. I only shoot people at military bases who are fully military geared, and I kill people who fire guns in Elektro and other starter towns. Best 2 kills... 1. Was a fresh spawn in Elektro, only had an axe.. Got shot at by an FNX45.. Stalked the guy and found out where he was.. 2nd level of hospital. Snuck up the stairs and planted an axe in his face as he came around the corner.. Took his gear and made it out of town. 2. Heard gunshots from around Firestation/sniper hill in Elektro.. Saw a guy with an M4 running up the hill. Looped around the south side of sniper hill with my Mosin, stood behind a tree, and got into a full out fire-fight with this guy.. Peeking around trees, both of us frantically firing back and forth. Sounds of bullets taking chunks out of wood, and ricochets all over the place.. Finally caught him trying to dive from one tree to another to get a better angle on me and landed a mosin shot center mass on him. Good news.. his M4 was in great condition and was fully kitted.. bad news? I lagged out and couldn't pick it up, then server disconnected me shortly after so I didn't get to grab it. :(

I'm sorry.. I like that you posted this but you're such an idiot. Hydrated means your water meter is full.. You're running around with a bag of rice and a box of cereal and your character is "hungry".. *facepalm*

Fully kitted M4, military gear, and Mountain backpack running up sniper hill and shooting at people.. ..That's a bandit. Deal with it.

And do you know WHY most military loot is gone within the first hour of restart? Because dumbfucks keep server hopping and cleaning it all out.

As mentioned earlier in this thread, it has a lot to do with human psychology and body language. 1. No masks.. Masks are designed to obscure the face. Obscuring your face means another person (player) cannot connect to you on a personal level. It also indicates a desire to remain anonymous. 2. No Ballistics helmet. Ballistic Helmet screams "PVP".. Players who are gearing up for PVP are more likely to shoot you. Whether this is 100% true or not isn't important. Other players will assume this about you, and if you're attempting to communicate to others that you are friendly, then there are much better choices of headgear, though they don't offer the protection. Baseball caps, Beanies, and other head gear (or no head gear at all) is more likely to communicate to others that you're not a threat to them. 3. Stay away from green camos.. It's possible to camo yourself without being full green camo. Instead of Olive/Camo, go with Browns and Tans.. It's also camo, but not nearly as commonly used by your standard KOS players who wear 100% military gear. Preferably though, civilian looking cloths convey the best possible message, even if the civilian cloths are somewhat camo'd.. Do you trust someone more in Brown Hunter Pants and a Brown Hoodie or Tan Tactical shirt, with a Baseball cap on.. Or someone with TTSKO and a Ballistics Helmet? Pretty obvious. 4. Mosin is less threatening than an M4.

Whats this? Server hoppers hate anti-server-hopping changes in the new patch?! SHOCK AND AWE. MUCH SURPRISE. SO UNPREDICTABLE. Also: I agree with Atrocity. Been a regular on Adrenaline Gaming for almost a year. Good community.

Except cars no longer spawn lewt.

http://dayzdb.com/map#3.061.052;item=Green%20Down%20Jacket Looks like Tactical Vests have been removed from the loot tables completely, as they are not spawning anywhere right now and I get no results for them on DayZdb.

Press vest aren't *only* on the boat wreck. They can also be found in train stations. http://dayzdb.com/map#4.113.038;item=Blue%20Press%20Vest

Just did a search on Dayzdb.com for it, and it comes back without results.. Don't think it's in the loot tables yet.

If all other attachments are any indication, it probably has a hidden effect on rifle accuracy, even if you can still see through it.

I recently got shot because I was opening a door, and apparently on the other persons screen the door was open, but it wasn't on mine.. Desync/lag (even with 50 ping), and next thing I know I'm laying on the ground unconscious a good 30 seconds after he actually shot me. The desync is REALLY bad on any server with more than 10-15 players.

I'm confused by the title of this thread: "Patch 557 still broken." If Patch 557 was "fixed", there would be no need to release future patches.. The game would be done. I do agree that it is frustrating to get a patch only to have half of the features broken upon release. I get what you're saying... And I do agree that having a direct line of communication from some representative of the Devs would be helpful/inspiring. Perhaps a "Dev Feedback/Q&A" thread, where the community is heavily moderated in the sense that they can't repeat questions which are already posted without losing their post rights, or getting their post deleted, and where the Dev team tries to answer each individual question to the best of their ability. I have posted suggestions in the suggestion thread.. Seems like Devs don't even read it. If it doesn't gain a large amount of community support, odds are they will never see it and it will just fall into oblivion. I post bugs into the bugtracker, but with so many people posting bugs it's just constant spam of the same few issues, and when you post a bug which not many people have experienced or that is a little more elusive, it doesn't gain the traction required to even get noticed. Anyway, yeah.. I agree, I think BI could do a little more in the way of PR.

On one note, the guy DID throw up an F1 to show that he was friendly.. then you yelled friendly as well. I dunno why he drew on you.. that was just stupid on his part. So, I have a question for everyone.. I was coming out of the school in Berezino about 1 week ago, and I heard "STOP, STOP MOVING", and a guy with a mosin was out in the field infront of the school aiming at me.. I already had my FNX out, and I didn't think to press F2, so I just went prone and stayed still.. The guy shot me. Did I have it coming for not pressing F2, or should I have opened fire on him, or did I do the right thing by lowering myself and showing that I was an easy target by being prone and thus I was submitting? I was kind of pissed at him for shooting me after telling me to "not move".. I didn't make any aggressive gestures and I was going to put my gun away, but he didn't give me much of a chance before he started firing. What would you guys have done?

There are only 2 heli crashes on the map.. One is in the ruined town north of Cherno, approx coords 083-093. The other is NW of Rify, approx coords, 134-039. Don't spawn loot yet and no Helmet is listed on the DayZDb loot tables.

If what you say is true I would be interested in seeing proof of it. In over 220 hours of play time I have not witnessed it and I loot pretty thoroughly, and my main server is generally low pop by the time I get home from work. According to dayzdb it's impossible so I'm sincerely interested in even a screen shot if you can provide one.

Weedmasta, prove it. Check dayzdb. Search long range scope. Don't believe dayzdb? Show me a video of you finding a long range scope in a restaurant on a freshly restarted server. Pics/video or it didn't happen. I believe you have found one. What I don't believe is that it spawned there.
