Well , the next patch well be better for you Guys im sure , hang in there 1337 and all those other heads getting mad over these things ! I , on the other hand , can't wait to get on tonight after work :) !

Then patience is your only answer I'm afraid my friend :( until somebody comes up with a reason as to why it only happens to certain people on certain patches , my guess is it's just because things are constantly getting reworked and alpher and all ... But except for that one patch when everyone was ctd'ing every minute (vehicle patch I believe) my experience has been rather smooth , guess im lucky or just have great dayz karma ;) !

Yes exactly , and even just for realism purposes this should be done , but I'm all for loot on the ground and randomly spawning loot in containers ... As soon as someone "claims" a container with a padlock (fridges , safes , some wardrobes) or some rope (other wardrobes , cabinets and the like) then the container no longer is a spawn point for loot until it is free from any "locks or ropes / claiming objects" for a certain amount of time (just like the loot spawning mechanism works ). This way there's loot on the ground , loot in containers , and people can use the "containers" but as soon as they start to put objects in it the spawn rate of items is cut significantly (or 100% if possible) and also when a lock or rope (aka claiming object) is placed onto the container the loot stops spawning as said before . I couldn't imagine playing a survival game like dayz that's at beta or further and only has loot on the ground , or only has it in containers , it needs both for gameplay and realism/fun purposes ! So here's to hoping the devs already have some plan for this like they usually do :)! Edit : sorry for all the edits , damn mobile forums lol .

That's actually not what I was referring to , I only referenced fallout .. That being said fallout had a Loot system in which loot was visible on the ground AND in containers , I'm not talking about the visual aspect of what the inside of the container would look like lol! Obviously we all want a nice realistic visual of what's inside the container like what we have now in dayz when we loot a body! :)

exactly, when I first started playing online games I thought they were just as easy to develope/configure as single player games , until I finally started playing MMOs back in the day ... You know like Everquest online for the ps2 and shit ... And wow did I finally realize that online games are always a freaking mess and extremely hard to balance correctly . That being said though it's not impossible and things like this have happened before in dayz sa, do you guys remember when we didn't have binoculars ? I did and I was a very sad Kush until they mysteriously popped up in the dev tracker and then subsequently , experimental branch . So for those that don't know , this "fallout style" loot system (with loot on the floor and loot in containers) was talked about a lot by the developers and community early on in the first 6 months . The idea did fall off the map a bit but that's no reason to believe it was scrapped as it was one of the biggest features talked about in the beginning so some word would be issued of it's scrapping in my opinion .

This is definitely still coming and definitely not impossible (IMO)... A lot of things have been going on yes , but this whole world container thing is bigger than just making it happen ... It's tied into not only more server work so the servers have gotta be really stable to support them and everything else running, but also something to do with persistence/loot respawning as it is .. So in my opinion they are just waiting to get persistence ,vehicle , and more server/ client side stability, as this Is one of the key features of any survival game (smaller games like 7 days to die have this and it's fun to search drawers and such , but loot should also be present on the graphs like dayz is now ) . Besides dayz devs are all about attention to detail , they wouldn't make this apocalyptic world and just leave out world containers I mean, certain elements of barricading will become useless (in my opinion) if that's the case because everyone would rather make their own house with a tent in it rather than board up an old house with cabinets and a fridge in it ! Basically , unless one of the devs simply state that it's not ever going to be in the game , then I'm going to assume it's gonna show up eventually as this was one of those "small things" like persistence that really make a huge difference in gameplay .

All you can do is restart steam and validate files :( sorry for you 5 guys that are experiencing it lol ... Whenever this happens to my friend he validates his Files and restarts steam ... This really isn't something new though people , and certainly isn't a game breakin bug like you guys and 1337 seem to think ... As there are ways around it and it doesn't happen to everyone !

Well it's apparently an officers tent ! http://dayz.gamepedia.com/Officer's_Tent

Yep found mine on a first person server , in the officers barracks too ! She was just sitting there at the first top bunk closest to the entrance / little window :) .

Well fortunately for us , this is not some major memory leak afaik .. But unfortunate for you ,because it's an annoying problem that makes you verify your files for dayz in steam , then restart steam ... My friend has a very low end computer and things like this happen a lot , also if you're crashing near a v3s when it's running , turn off your audio as that sound of the v3s seems to consume the processor or something ? Very strange but I've only seen this audio problem on my friends computer (he can barely run the game, so I'm assuming it's using too much of his processor , as turning off all audio stopped it from crashing) ... But I digress , whenever that "memory leak" problem happens to my friend, he verifies dayz files in steam then restarts steam and it works for a couple of weeks or so until he has to do it again ...

Yes . Absolutely yes and the sad thing is , it's not even an FPS!! That's just what you get though with a dedicated (and let's face it , pretty well off in terms of money after arma and dayz mod ) dev team with a vision all their own. Instead of making a cookie cutter game like cod or BF (sorry bf fans , I liked 1943 so don't hate) they (dayz devs) decided to go out on a limb and do something no other team has done : to make a sandbox survival game that lives up to it's name and beats out others at their own genre due to it's originality and attention to detail ! Long live dayz and here's to hoping that in a years time all those cookie cutter devs will have made their games based after Dayz's concept , instead of just repeating the same old ideas .

I can't wait to get outta work and play dayz , I haven't played literally in DAYS and it's killing me lol but after working I always have no energy to sit up and pay attention lol (I'm too attached to my characters as they are always badass survivalist heroes , so I don't wanna die due to being tired!) . But today's the day , because today I got an early day ending around 5:30 est , and daddy's gonna go straight to my squads house and proceed to LAN party the shit out of all bandits in the server of my choosing ...

Unfortunately it won't be today : http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/216759-twitter-eugen-no-experimental-today-for-those-looking-for-one-its-still-wip/#entry2178345 But there's still hope for tomorrow and Friday (payday) !! :0 Note : sorry I can't "spoiler" as I'm on mobile :(

Seriously , I love experimental updates regardless , but to be able to scout out a new geographical location / town with the new v3s is probably the most exciting aspect of this next experimental... Now if they threw in some extra features that would just be top dawggie .

I would love this to be in game , it's not a question of keeping things sterile (I mean the apocalypse literally just started In dayz lore ) I highly doubt all sterilizing liquids (including crude alcohol) would be gone from the face of the earth .. I mean we find morphine everywhere , we give the patient a morphine drip using an emptied out saline bag and IV (or just slowly inject morphine into the patient) and then begin the amputation with one of those mid 1900's medical bone saw sterilized (the ones that aren't electric) i think they are specially made to cut bone , but I'm not sure if it's used ante Or post mortem ... Anyways as long as the patient is under some trance of heavy morphine or knockout gas , the bandages/tools/area were relatively sterile and antibiotics were taken every game day after the amputation , and much rest was given to the amputee Id say it would be perfectly reasonable to be able to amputate in the apocalypse .. especially if we found a hospital room that was somewhat untouched ! The only thing I would be worried about not working is the mechanics of it all , I'm sure though with this new renderer swap and new DX well be able to do a lot of things we weren't able to do and I really hope amputation is one of them :)! Edit : double amputations should not be in the game though , I can imagine a clan all with their own personal "pets", pets actually being a human with both of his legs cut off being forced to crawl behind it's "master" ... That's too weird for gameplay lol ..

Yea they look like downright pussies lol , their "recruitment" is saving hostages from other bandits , and then murdering the hostage after peer pressuring him into their clan lol ! No wonder they have so many , they pretend to be heroes and bandits to present the "all play styles" kind of clan , but really they all just look like camper/KOSers which is neither bandit nor hero lol ... I'll help kill them if you guys know a 1pp server that they play on ?

Well helicopters will be a mystery to me until I can log into a server at northwest airfield and see two sitting in the field lol ... I'm a lazy bitch , but what I really wanna know is when are the "substances" coming ? Alcohol , buds, and cigarettes would be great for just chilling around waiting for more features to come :) also I would love to be able smoke a virtual cigarette in the v3s while driving ... Awesomely badass, just not in real life as I quit a couple years ago but it would just be a fun thing to do in game lol .

That's awesome , I'll have to check your server out when I'm helo hunting mate , maybe make it one of my regulars if it's hardcore/1pp ? But regardless these towns seem to be more popular to find vehicles than others : kabanino , dubrovka , gorka , and I believe I've found one several times at both the severograd construction/mining operation (don't really know the name) and a couple times at krasnostav convienance ... Those seem to be the most common points where v3s' spawn out of all the spawn points ..

Wow all the little chemlights look awesome down there ! :)

Well in my opinion , the people claiming to have found heli crashes on persistent servers are made up of : 25% liars , 25% trolls who never even searched for a heli and just lied , and 50% of people who are overconfident that they are on a persistence ON server ... Even I have visited servers claiming to be persistent and then I find out that it's not when my backpacks disappear after restart , so long story short the chances of eugen being wrong is like 3 % , where as the chances that all these other trolls/liars/over confidents are wrong is about 97% , so ya I'll go with eugen right now because even if he is wrong about this it wouldn't make him a liar , just another human who made a mistake by speaking too soon .. Fear not incredibly over obsessed helicopter hunters you will find them you just have to do a little work yourselves as opposed to believing people on the forums!!! I found three non smoking helicopters on a persistence off server so I'm sure the smoking ones are there on persistence off servers as well !

BioHaze is correct Mang , and if I were ChainReactor or Tatanko , id have the link to the twitter post that verifies it ... One of you two care to step in ? Lol but if they don't just check the dev tracker it's there a couple dayz back ...Edit : lol Tatanko you're too ninja quick .

To fill the v3s you actually have to put the gas canister (Jerry can) in your hands then get into the drivers seat then use the scroll wheel to go the action called "refuel" , but be careful because for some strange reason they decided to put a "empty canister" action directly under the "refuel" option so don't press that unless you want to waste your gas in the can ... I know it doesn't make much sense yet but the vehicle is still in a very prototype stage , and it doesn't hold any gear yet , if you have a passenger that just got disconnected or just hopped out of your truck you usually see the "view contents" button as if you can see what it's holding but that's just a glitch and it unfortunately can't hold anything yet .

Ya I don't know how the rabbit snares actually trap anything because even when placed correctly (by putting in hands then using the scroll wheel Action) it still seems to catch nothin after close to an hour :/ ...

Awesome story mate ... Good descriptive imagery , it's what makes the story play out in our imagination :) ... I gotta get on and play and stop fantasizing lol ...

I honestly think that was just a rumor started by dayztv... Could be something they saw in the game files and decided to bring it to everyone's attention , but as far as I know I haven't seen anyone with one or trying to craft one .
