FALs aren't very good at all, they are basically a more rare, but not as good, AKM. The scope is worthless outside of night ops, even then it's only a so-so scope. Now the m14 and the Bizon are both great finds, espcially the m14. Definitely a heavy spawned helo, with the guns and a med box. Overall good find.

Check the newest announcement, case and point why you don't do anything until you know that it is for sure offical. There's no telling what could go wrong with using the "broken" 1.7.2.2. Maybe a lot, maybe nothing at all, but I'm going to wait just to be sure. Better to be safe than sorry.

Pretty much this, not going to update our server until we get an official link on the announcements forum.

All I see is 1.7.2.1 under DayZ commander, could someone post the download link? Torrent would be lovely...

I, too, am curious if anything will done about this. Admins need to be held accountable for their actions. My clan and I run a server and we have a very strict policy against this kind of garbage. None of us alt+f4 during pvp confrontations under any circumstances and so far we have only died a few times when we could have simply alt + F4'd out. (hint: it's called outplaying/outshooting your opponents, not taking advantage of a skill-less and pure-cheese tactic) Despite the vast majority of our confrontations ending up in our enemies alt + F4ing out, we stick to our guns. (pun intended) I cannot wait until they implement a fix for this horseshit. Simply put: If you can't handle losing everything you have in a "full loot pvp game" then please, get the fuck out, this game is clearly not for you.

We run into this problem a lot of my server... We restart the server every 8-12 hours or so and almost always after the first restart all of our vehicles and tents disappear, but we have found that another restart after the first always fixes this problem, wIth the exception of tents. We have noticed the frequency of tents eating everything in them go up drastically in the last patch. So we have resorted to using our V3S and/or URAL as a mobile bank. Got to love them 50 wep/tool slots and 200 misc slots, heh.

Obvious troll is obvious.

The hive keeps track of who hacks things in and who has picked up those hacked items. So if you have a character that is prone to finding a lot of hacked items you'll probably get banned. Even though they say you won't get banned for using hacked items, but for just hacking them in, my clan and I keep a strict policy to not bother with anything we know is hacked in. Which I think is a policy most people should adopt. I really think a weapons list from the Devs would do so much good in this department. As much as I like the immersion of not knowing what is out there and the "surprise" factor of finding new loot, or loot you have never seen, it's just overall a cleaner system if we know for sure what can be in loot piles or not.

I've never seen it drop, and have only come across one, and have heard that it is a hacked weapon. But as long as YOU didn't hack it in you should be fine.

My clan and I have noticed that deer stands seem to have considerably less loot, a few of our members are constantly checking deer stands across the map and all we seem to find are glocks and AKs, when as before we would find quite a big variety of loot (we seem to get lucky, had gotten a few DMR's and M4 CCO's from stands) Also it seems barracks are in the same boat, nothing but handguns and AKs.

Just BRs being BRs, move on guys....nothing to see here.

I can see where the admin is coming from but it still shouldn't merit a kick/ban, even if they are allowed to kick for this type of thing (which they aren't) it is a cheap thing to do. As long as the vehicles we're acquired legitimately it should be a non-issue. Sounds like another case of "butthurt admin"

I don't think the real zombie apocalypse is going to be balanced, so why should DayZ?

Lots of exaggeration and/or dupers in this thread. My clan is very active and we often search for crash sites and we have only found 3 maybe 4 L85s. We've come across atleast two dozen of the fifty cals and bizons and maybe twice that in FALs (which we often leave because of it being pretty mediocre, but thats another thread entirely) It's the rarest gun in the game, along with the SVD, so it should be strong. I could maybe see replacing it with the SUSAT scope instead, maybe that would satiate all the QQ'n.

Very old servers still have legit huey spawns.

Why would you want to just run around with you and your buddies? This makes absolutely no sense to me. The zombies in this game are a joke (except for their lag) especially when you posse roll. With no threat of other players what is there to do? Just hoard vehicles/items and never put them to use? Jesus, I can't think of a more boring thing to do...

Oh man, hope this servers gets blacklisted soon. What a bunch of carebears...

Them putting money into it has nothing to do with it. They don't have the right to run the server however they see fit. Still have to follow the devs rules for running the server. I couldn't agree more, just because you run the server doesn't mean you should be given privileges that give you a massive advantage over other players. Afaik the only reasons you can kick/ban are to get a clan member into a full server or when you know that they are for sure hacking. Being butthurt isn't a valid reason to kick/ban anyone.

Of course, happy to help. This problem mostly occurs when you were on a server and that server either crashed or wasnt stopped properly and it didn't save your location. Like I said this has happened to me a lot cause recently my group started playing on a server with a very dumbass admin and would give no warning to restarts. So we would be either in a vehicle or in the middle of looting and the server didn't have time to properly save our position. Pretty lame but, what can we do. Good luck on your new life.

If you still had your stuff I would recommend running back. which can take anywhere from 10 minutes to over 3 hours. But since it all disappeared your best bet is to suicide and start over. Sucks but this had happened to me many times. If i remember correctly they are going to fix it in the next patch.

lmao This is the most obvious case of "butthurt admin" I've ever seen, I'm surprised he is even posting in the thread at all. Just stop while you're ahead, bro. You're only just making it more painfully obvious you are abusing admin. BRs getting outplayed and crying about it? IMPOSSIBLE!

Sounds like you got stuck in debug plains, it has nothing to do with hacks, just the server and the hive miscommunicating and corrupting the location of your character.

My group of friends and I have been playing on your server for the past few days and have been enjoying it quite a lot. It has all of the options turned on/off that we prefer to play with, and we all have great pings with not a whole lot of desynch. But our only quibble with the server is that you don't give the players a warning when you are going to restart it. All of the servers I have played on in the past have given some kind of warning of when a restart is going to happen. Some as much as 20-30 minutes, others as short as a simple 2 minute warning. I thought this was a common practice to give your players some kind of warning so they can wrap up what they are doing and/or get to a safe place. We have had quite a few of us end up in debug forest because we were in the process of looting or on a vehicle. We've also had tents eat everything, yes i am aware this happens quite a bit and i know this is an alpha and to expect bugs, which our group is more than aware of and are prepared to encounter and handle properly. But I have noticed that when a server restarts and tents get empty, if another restart happens in a relatively short period of time they will almost always be restored to their full loot glory. Like I said, I thought it was proper admin etiquette to give everyone at least a 2 minute warning or something. Just hoping to make a pretty good server a very great server.

This is awesome, thanks!

You should shoot him down either way. But some very old servers still have legit Hueys spawned on them.
