freethink

Good feedback B) I tried about 3 times, no joy but that was always on a busy server. I'm going to join a low pop later and (try) make a few.

You need to create a separate account for the tracker

Cheers. Any server details. Persistent/Not. Full/Med/Empty? It's bizarre some people can make them and some can't. No-one I play with can craft splints any more.

I actually do believe you BUT I'd like to see it. I think it would help if we have evidence of some people being able to craft spnts on certain servers. It's all good as you guys say. I totally appreciate you going above and beyond and doing a vid.

I keep on hearing this. Do a video please. Make a splint and then use it. Or get someone else to make a splint. No-one I play with can make a splint on any server.

how I got around it was, I left the server I was in and joined a low pop persistent server, dropped everything, and got my buddy to kill me. then i ran back to my gear. I wish they'd make morphine spawn everywhere seeing as splints don't work.

The attack isn't just for the "lulz" it's genuine hatred from grinch type characters who will be alone at christmas imo. I'd be looking at disgruntled ex-employees first tbh.

nope it's called a purchase. If you buy a can of beans at walmart your money goes towards hiring staff/product testing/advertising/ etc you haven't invested in beans you just bought them

I think you should hold off setting up a trust considering you don't understand investiments

you have fundamentally misunderstood the word "invest." Fair enough, you have funded development and you are even invested in the results but you haven't invested in the game.

investment is the act of putting money into something in the hope of returning more money. It also means something else so it is fair to say "we have not invested in dayz yet we are deeply invested."

How so?

I've no issue with servers being down but I do think dayz over-relies on a centralised architecture. For instance, there's very little reason for private shards to connect to the central hive servers at all. Yet it's designed that way. Similarly, I'm a bit dubious on the idea of a centralised loot economy. It is kind of ironic how soviet an idea that is though.

Sometime to watch in the meantime: Real-time cyber attacks map :cool: http://map.ipviking.com/

I'm kidding. Although bear in mind SmashT's point above. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/217350-dayz-service-down/#entry2184158 Here is the not safety reference: http://i.imgur.com/jVHOxcF.jpg

it's not safety!

I don't want to labour the point but a decision was made and then much later you posted a couple of examples that you considered proved the decision wrong. That's all there is too it.

you are here to shut down this thread. I'm against that and I will speak up against that every time. If the mods want to close the thread then fine but, unlike you, I'm not going to question them and paint them as hypocrites by quoting old posts etc. I'm not upset by your post at all btw. If I was a mod and you were basically calling me a hypocrite then maybe I'd be upset.

wow seems like a pretty innocent thread has really upset you. Could you not just ignore the thread? Is there not a rule about second guessing mods/questioning mod decisions?

If my past experiences are anything to go with I expect the op to be called a troll and this thread labelled as slander :D

Most servers are persistent atm even if they say they aren't. I'd guesstimate 5% of servers have persistence off. The akm only spawns in mil locations. Lots of mosins. Try the small one room log cabin in the corner.

if a server is persistent then loot generally doesn't respawn on restart but instead certain locations will have thousands of items all spawning in together - most other places will just have books etc. on non persistent servers loot respawn on restart.

To the op: The best thing you can do(next time) is report it to the tracker. They'll ask for various details - crash dumps etc and will look at the issue closely. The odd thing about trackers is almost everyone presumes someone else reported it. Even if your report is a duplicate that means at least you aren't alone experiencing the bug.

do ammo boxes spawn at fire stations? I thought they only spawned at crash sites now? I'd guess what happened was someone killed a duper then unpacked their stuff. They are having dupe parties ffs! On the plus side, I think bi/be are basically giving these people enough rope to hang themselves until the big anti-cheat update happens so that's why we are seeing so many aholes. Eugene practically dared them to cheat. For now they are just monitoring afaik.

I've had the thing where I'm playing with friends and we all crash simultaneously. Mostly I've been lucky and been able to log back in with my gear (unusually way back further than I expect) but once I got back and was a freshie. I presume it's someone killed me as I was lagging/crashing. It may be a hack but I wouldn't say it's 100% sure to be one. And I'm not one of those guys in denial re hacks. Said to a pal recently that I can barely remember the last time I was killed by a legit player or glitch.
