Was that today?? I was at EGX all day yesterday and never saw anything Dayz-related.

Prior to 0.49 I would only lose connection on server restarts but this week I've only been able to play between 5 and 20 minutes on any given server before I get the red text. I don't really know what else to say, it's making the game unplayable. Am I the only one? Is it the game bugging out or is it that servers really are restarting on a 20 min cycle?

Thanks for this post, super helpful 10/10 5*

Location: the apartment in the three story building in Berezino, next to the corner pub and opposite the apartments. What happened: hearing a lot of shooting outside, I crouch walked up to the window to identify the perpetrators. Suddenly I began doing endless vaults before shooting up into the air, so high infact that the ambient sound cut out. I fell all the way down onto the roof of the building where my character decided to run off of the roof onto the street. I survived with no damage and got sucked into a wall where my character started running around in random directions and occasionally vaulting before I logged out. Has this happened to anyone else? I present photo evidence.

I logged back into the same server and I was just standing on the street in front of the building. Nothing missing, nothing damaged...

Personally: Military weapons: FAL and/or G3, MG3 Police weapons: mossberg 500/TOZ shotgun, skorpion, sten/sterling, vz26 (machine pistol) Civilian weapons: a plethora of Zastava, CZ and springfield etc hunting rifles (mid-tier scopes available, perhaps the same as on the longhorn?) along with older military rifles like K98, garand, enfield etc. some beretta shotguns of the kind used for skeet shooting. I wouldn't really want much more than that in the game.

Oh absolutely. There's definitely still a Pact commonality, but yes there's no hard reason why ANY gun "can't" be in the game (irregardless of what states use what, all sorts of weapons turn up everywhere in the world thanks to black market channels). My issue with the devs adding an AK-101 instead of a 74 comes down to ammo commonality. Consider how many times you find an M4 magazine, it is a fairly rare experience. That's good, that is that the devs want iirc, certain weapons and their associated parts are rarer. Few m4 magazines and only a bit of ammo for them. Now how often will you find an AK-101 magazine? I find at least one in every base. Sometimes a barracks will have two in just one building. This represents a huge windfall for players with M4s who should have rare, difficult to maintain weapons now with large amounts of ammo to refill on. It's the same in reverse, if you have an AK-101 and find one of those ridiculous 60 round coupled M4 magazines hey you have a buttload of spare bullets to dump into your pants. I'd prefer the removal of ALL magazines over 40 rounds actually. Preferably 30. I'm getting somewhat off point, but I hope you can see the problem I'm presenting. Ammo diversity = scarcity = less incentive to Rambo through Berezino with stacks of brass.

To be fair these states only have 5.56x45 weapons because they are in NATO (except for Georgia, which should be in NATO, but was shafted to avoid offending the evil Russians) - the other former pact states will be slowly switching to the same regulation NATO calibers. I think Chernarus is more like a Moldova sort of state - same rough population and size etc. Moldova is extremely poor. I have just got back from Moldova and it looks like Chernarus IRL. They will not be moving past Soviet stocks for some time, unless given free money to do so.

Haha nope, sorry! How about a drum magazine for the M4 instead?!?!?! pewpewpewpewpewpew

Bullshit. Fucking drums are a pain in the ass. Those things are absolute assholes to work properly, they are mechanically unreliable and constantly break. Dump the M4 drum (and that ridiculous 60 round coupled mag while you're at it), dump the AKM drum, maybe add a 40 round AKM magazine a-la RPK just for parity with the M4 and leave it at that. Personally I'd want to get rid of 40 rounders too but ah well.

I hate this forum so much

In terms of CDF gear we need the ALICE yoke with attachable soviet pouches (maybe we could make our own out of leather??) and the Ssh68 steel pot helmet which could have different fabric covers (again, can we craft our own out of burlap and twigs??) Vests would be 6b2 (basic) and 6b3/5 (camouflaged and more protection/some inv space). Balaclavas? Older M88 "afghanka" uniforms? On the subject of clothes, when weather is implemented perhaps winter (lined) versions of the military jackets. And for the love of god, let us blouse our pants into boots!!

Trust me, opening a can with an axe is a lot easier than it would be with a crowbar...

Good job on binning all the hacked stuff

Delightful

After a brutal half-hour long firefight in Berezino (must have only ever been five guys at a time, but more just kept pouring in from all directions) I was finally down to my last stripper clip, surrounded in the scrubland between a row of buildings and the beach factory. Guys were everywhere, I had no chance. My only solace as my bullet-riddled corpse tumbled to the floor was hearing them turn on each other.

Allahu Akbar death to freshspawn infidels TAKVIR

Well they did say Q2 so check back around April next year.

this forum really is a cesspit

Third time it's happened now - I seem to randomly die on hardcore servers. I'm sure I'll get the "you were sniped" etc but it's all been in different circumstances: Above the hill on Berezino, out of sight from the town In a building in Svetlo, away from windows Just now in Novo, I saw a dude staring at me. I waved, he swore (from a distance). All three times I hear a thudding noise like I've just been hit by an axe, then it's a one hit death. All three times there was nobody around me to melee me, and I'm not desyncing. Has this happened to anyone else? It could be that I'm being sniped from a km away, but it's the melee noise that's throwing me.

Cr527 magazines...

Hullo I respawned today after a little incident up in Berezino to find I was just outside of Vybor. How odd, I said to myself, normally you spawn on the coast... Ah well. Then I went into my inventory and noticed I had no clothes. No jeans, no t-shirt, no shoes, no battery :( however I was fully energized, dehydrated and healthy. Has anyone else had this? I was on what I assume are the dayz "official" servers (DayZ UK x-y hosted by blahblah) and I've been on quite a few today and my character hasn't reset. xox

Is it that time of year again?

Hopefully not long until you can perform surgery to extract bullets, cauterise bleeding wounds etc.
