This was my stance from the beginning of alpha , I hate seeing everyone run around with high end guns so I believe most of them should be as rare (or rarer) than the grenades are now (but everyone running around with just civilian rifles is very plain and everyone is basically the same , which doesn't represent this unfair world in any bit, the ones with high powered guns should just covet them because they are so rare , but that high powered gun isn't gonna make the wielder invincible)... I just found my first flashbang grenade after a month of searching on and off for it. It was so exciting finding my first and now I'm so against pvping with that character til I get back together with my squad cuz I feel like I really worked hard for it and don't wanna lose it lol .. I feel like that would be the general feel if we were to make some really nice military guns be put in but be super rare (and in my opinion all military guns should have some wear on them and start out "damaged" or "badly damaged".. ) I love civilian guns I love military guns , we need to balance the two for the games sake but not remove one or the other completely !

Well if you wanna state it all complainy like yes lol , but not everyone is affected by hackers , I've never met one in 800 hrs of olay ... Just glitchers .. But anyways private shards are coming soon so you can stop worrying about that ;)

Ooooh so there's another one ? :) I'm gonna check the new balota replacement one , i just found the northwest airfield one for the first time and assumed it was the new one :0 !

This explains it perfectly. ^-^ _ | • ¥• |

I've heard of a bug that when you make a fire inside sometimes you do not get warmer , that's definitely what's happening with that guy cuz everytime I make a fire I get warm by being next to it ..

Exactly .a good point .. Dean would never screw over the private shard hosters by forcing them to abandon their own server if "they weren't the special helicopter part servers"... In my opinion he said that to mean that if there were no heli parts on that server AT THE TIME then the only solution was to server hop if you were impatient ... But waiting of course would be the REAL way to do it , dean Probly just knows everyone is so damn impatient lol .. But this is my vision of it and what dean really means : servers (all of them) will at some point have every item on it , whether it be car/helicopter parts or rare items like certain weapons , but if you can't find a certain item all day on one server , realistically in a world where a lot of people can't spend days on a video game , they server hop .. I of course would wait as long as I could on one server seeing as I would be adventuring but this was Probly the only way of dean able to say all items of value would be super rare an hard to find in a small time without people throwing a fit "just server hop if you can't find the pieces you want if you can't wait to find one " Tl;dr : in my opinion dean never meant that some servers wouldn't recieve certain items , IMO he means " "just server hop if you can't find the pieces you want if you can't wait to find one on that server". Unless a direct quote is found from dean stating that some servers will never spawn certain items , then this is my stance as his wording is ALWAYS very confusing .

Have no fear ! It's been moved above the north west airfield :) I went there last night and geared up all gorka military with the new helmet ...just need to find the visor .

No , if you're referring to the latest stable change log , the "vehicle spawns" refer to broken down vehicles that can spawn in random places like the cop car . we honestly don't even know if they will put that truck in first , they said that's the first one they were working on but they never said it would be released first ... Unless you know something I don't ;) ?!

You'll be waiting for h1z1 til you die if you do that lolol..if you're truly frustrated with this game don't joke around and tell us you're gonna go to a crap game that's not even out yet ..Stick to bf3 at least you'll get your instant gratification there .

But you're putting it too simply , they won't let servers dry up forcing you to server hop that's counter-intuitive to what they did to prevent server hopping ... Please find the source where dean hall stated we must server hop because of this centralizing, because that sounds like something anyone with common sense would avoid .. And to the "rare" aspect of it all , it only makes sense that rare items would get more rare when they have to be split up over all servers , just saying :)

lol puzzay... Any ways there's too Many dare I say "useless" survivors out there ... My two best friends in real life are two of them lol but they know it , they just aren't good at making decisions in stressful situations so naturally one has to become the leader and unfortunately if you don't command your squad they all die :/ .. But yes control that swearing lol , also did anyone notice that the alleged server hopper was using his third person view to try and see what you guys were doing while you shot him to death ? I mean c'mon you can't define irony better than a guy tryin to abuse the game to his advantage only to be taken out by that same "advantage"...

Lol that got me laughing :) the guy at the end : " what the fu*k?!"

that's not exactly how it works... Once you remove loot from one server and log out , it , I'm sure, replenishes that item eventually by respawning and isn't counted against the X amount per server thing .. They have been thinking of this for months so I'm sure they have thought of game breakers like that -_-

Lol I love your koala.. But what others have said ^^ ... Also , KoalaZ.

Just my thought ... More weapons(Svd AND steyr aug!) more talk about vehicles , persistence definitely coming to those server hosters that opt-in for it , centralized loot economy almost finished ... This is awesome ... We just need more talk of that "horticulture" that was supposed to come out with .49 experimental :/ ... Oh well we can only hope that we can randomly grow crops on .49 stable !!

I got a nvidia gtx 760 , paired with i5-3570k @3.4 ghz (honestly one of the BEST processors in the i5 range) with z77 chipset , I got 8gb of ram and I run at 60 fps in woods and 45 fps in small towns , 30 fps in cities but don't worry when this game is optimized your rig should easily do 40-45 fps in small towns and cities ... After you upgrade that processor , start saving up for another graphics card (lots of people have TI's but even though they are great they seem like they are out dating) ... But id say if you're not too worried after you get the processor don't even bother with the graphics card as it seems dayz is very processor heavy so that new i5 should do tha trick ( my graphics card bumps my video settings up to all very highs on dayz whereas the 750ti will probably keep you around medium - high settings) :) .

What the Czech? I am excited for vehicles to come when they damn well feel ready lol ! Honestly I'm thinking around thanksgiving we will have them , maybe even as late as December right before the 1 year mark . Inb4 locked or graveyard maybe?

They haven't removed the option to attach the long range scope to the moisin , I don't know what these guys are referring to but I just got a moisin on experimental last night and attached a long range scope to it, but I like the idea of another ammo type , I just want unique guns seeing as we have very plain looking guns right now (I'm no gun fanatic so I tend to go by look , my favorite is the FN-FAL for look and style ;) )

Here's to hoping that this beast goes stable tonight after maintenance ! Luckily maintenance for me happens at 12 am tonight , hopefully if it is pushed to stable they will update and do maintenance before I go to bed at like 3 am :) !

Lol shrub too good , you make the corrupt see the light :)

Stun Baton is great against zombies , and wastes less battery than the cattle prod .. But beware it sucks against humans (or so my experiences have taught me) I've struck many people with the stun baton and it seems to never bring them unconcious because of the shock . The cattle prod seemed to not work well against zombies because it wasted the battery so fast (first few hits are effective but after that it seems to do no damage) but it's great against people , someone kept tazing me with one and I went unconcious for 1-3 Seconds each time he would hit me with it .. But it is a small time frame that you knock the opponent out for so that's it's disadvantage i guess . The telescopic baton seemed fine , no electric shock but it is a little tricky to hit everytime with it .

In my opinion , barricades and locked doors by dead survivors should recieve half the damage of its health , for instance a lock on a door has health of worn (the lock) and after you die , your door lock becomes badly damaged ... Then when you get back to the door , you first have to lock pick it (if keys are in game then you must find a key again even though it was your locked door ) after that you'd be able to have access to your stash again , but ALL items inside the perimeter of the locks (or if there's a chest locked, all the items inside the chest ) will recieve the same half damage ... So if you had stashed a m4 inside a house with a locked door but it had any "badly damaged" parts then the m4 would be broken after you die and return to it and every time you die (only if you have "claimed or tagged" that lock/ barricade in that life will it recieve damage ) . So yes you will still know where your barricade / locked house or chest is but you will still have to work to get a lock pick , do the lock picking without breaking your tools or the lock itself (which if you broke the lock you would have to break the door down leaving your stash house completely open til you replaced the door ) or just cut down your barricades if you wanna have access to your stash but remember everytime you lock pick a lock there will be damage done to the lock itself , also everytime you die after you have "claimed"'a lock or barricade by using it or putting it up then all the items inside barricDes / chests/ houses will recieve damage . A fair trade I think for people who constantly stash things and expect and easy "re-arming"..

lol it wouldn't have been funny if there was no hashtag :P .. That being said ... stick !

Id say stay away from power lines as there are many areas in the north that just end and turn into debug zone ... Just direct yourself with the sun , it rises in the east travels over the southern part of the sky and sets in the west ... if the server time (only shown before you join) is 12:00 or later then the sun is already going to be past direct south towards west , if it's before 12:00 then the sun is more in the eastern sky and has not yet passed it's zenith (being at its highest point in the sky which should be direct south) . So for instance if it's 12:00 on a server and you spawn in olsha (town right near the northeast airfield closer to the shore ) and you wanna go to the shore (east) you know the sun Is going to be very close to direct south (zenith , when it's highest in the sky and when this occurs it's almost dead south) so if you keep the sun behind you east should theoretically be to your right ;) .. It takes some practice as you can still get confused but it's much better than the alternative of trying to find the right roads or power lines for that matter ..

I just .... I can't .... I don't even know what to say , so much awesome freaking stuff in one page =) lockable doors and barricades mentioned , vehicle work beginning , filthy glitchers and hackers going away for a while and a whole lot of good little surprises :0 ! Great work dev team !
