Liking the Interstellar soundtrack. Nice vid.

Yes, it spawns but is very rare. I only found 1 netting for the 40+ dynamic boats I searched.

Beige baseball cap. Engraved 1911. Improvised leather backpack. (boar pelt backpack, no tanning required, 5x5 inv spots) That's it. The rest is just complementary.

Hmm. This "topic" has been covered many times. Easy answer is : game's not finished yet. As far as "lately I've seen many PVP ans shootouts around Berezino, Elektro, name your town" it's always been like that. Before the Stand Alone came out, I used to play the DayZ mod for ArmA2, and unless you played on a restricted private server that had good admin overwatch, it was exactly like it is today on the public hive. The game will start to play differently when it's passed Beta, as the AI for infected and animals will get polished and enhanced. As far as right now, I'm 90% of the time on private hive servers like the DayZ Colony servers, DayZ Underground, WOBO, Gents of Novo or the -UN- servers, so it's very interesting in terms of player interactions. Of course you get shot at every once in awhile, or encounter crazy fellas, but that's just DayZ for you. Personally, I just have 1725 hours in-game, so I have much to learn, but I tend to fix myself objectives. Like getting specific clothes/outfits, finding and using only a specific weapon, reaching a location and surviving there with simply what the environment can provide. (farming, animals, fishing) But that's just me. I'm looking forward to see how firefights and "pvp" turn out when wolves, bears and infected come swarming and mess up with the players! ;) Take care fellas. Respect.

I play a lot on a private hive called the DayZ Colony, that have 3 different servers, one for everyone/every style, one for RP (Colony US-2) and one for PvE, and I have to say that I really enjoy it there!! Been playing on the Colony servers since they were opened more than a year ago. Also, there's the DayZ /r/Underground 1PP private server that has a lot of RP, but no matter where you go, there's always a chance to encounter soldier/killer role players... ;)

Haven't posted in a while. In before the 0.60 wipe. This is probably my favorite character I've had in 0.59. See you all in 0.60!!

You need to upload them to a proper service provider/hosting site like img.ur or Tinypic and use the links they provide. Usually it's called something like "direct link for layout". Then, on the DayZ forums, when you post you use the "Insert other media" button in the bottom right of your post box, and click on "image from url". Just paste the link that the hosting site provided and voilà!

Very nice! Looking forward to all the changes we'll encounter in 0.60 and s on! Cheers fellas!

I've had a few SVDs, and still have one with one character, and never had this happen to me. But I don't double carry, and when I do, I'm extra careful, so overall I never had that "bug" where your gun disappears. (It's just on the ground if you retrace your steps back. Desync/rubberbanding.)

:lol: Brilliant!! That was hilarious Sobieski. Cheers!! :thumbsup:

Rags, I respect you a lot, and this just adds up to it. I don't KoS, and do not really share this style of playing, but your honesty and personal reasons why you do it gives you credit. Pretty cool video by the way, love your reactions. :lol: That being said, going to the coast to kill fresh spawns isn't really thrilling to me... at all... In, now 1700 hours +, I only killed maybe 20 players total, and this included some PVP events and old clan matches. Not part of any clan anymore, has it's not my thing anymore. That being said, the "don't thrust people in DayZ" isn't really something we should spread, as again, in all the time I played, I only been "betrayed" a few times, and met at least 100+ players. Maybe it's just my "aura" transpiring on my character. Again, maybe it's because I mostly play on experimental, and the community there is a bit different than on stable full pop pvp squeaker madness. ;) Cheers Rags, and happy new year!! Edit: Small detail, when you get shot at first, you retaliate and defend yourself, and end up killing your opponents, that doesn't count as KoS. B) And even though DayZ is super easy right now, it's still a survival game. If not, than no games are survival games, as I have zero problems surviving in ANY survival game, period.

1PP public character. Details

I haven't posted screens in a while, but, here it goes! Some of these shots taken in the holidays, and are themed as such.

Only from personal experience, and others who shared theirs as well. (Mostly from 0.59 experimental.) But, since you've found at least a few items on some boats, I'd say it's just extremely rare, and hackers use their ESP or "item teleporter" to get them.

Pretty cool video! GG! Although I hate seeing ghillie suits right now as they are brought in from cheaters/hackers. There's a bug with the dynamic boats, they don't spawn anything at all right now. (Found 38 dynamic boat spawns in 0.59, and they were all completely without any loot.) That aside, cheers dude!

I found that sometimes when I put a battery in the FNX RDS and turn it on, it doesn't show, but switching servers, taking the battery out and put it in again, then turning it on again fixed it. I've been looking far and wide far the old UK Assault vests that came in olive, black, khaki and DPM camo (my fav) but I've yet to come across any, so I'm guessing they are out for the moment. Hopefully they'll add them again, and they're not completely gone. :( P.S.: USMC both desert and woodland spawn at NATO crash sites.

Currently the MP5's iron sights are bugged. Apart from the MP5 though, I don't know any other gun that has it's iron sights glitched. It's known, and it'll be fixed pretty soon. (I hope.)

:lol: This is your opinion. ;) But seriously, no, the devs, at least Hicks, clearly stated that their point of view regarding loot is that good military gear should be rare. If you don't find a FAL or VSS when looking through multiple crash sites, it doesn't mean there's no FAL or VSS anywhere. Just look at the reports, watch streamers, watch some Youtubers and you'll see there's plenty of SVD, VSS or FAL around. Your personal experience is that you don't find the high grade military weapon you want when searching crash sites. Your personal opinion is that it frustrates you and you wish it would change. It's not an opinion or experience shared with the majority of players. In the end I think you are the one who's blind, stating that the mod is still better than the SA. -very few buildings you can enter -still extremely poor AI - predictable and exploitable loot respawn (clear/refresh) - terrible desync with vehicles (still... When got vehicles much later in the SA, and the desync got fixed way faster than the mod, and it's more stable than it ever was in the mod...) - no clothes, only "skin packages" - no armor value or inventory capabilities with various "skin packages" - still very limited inventory items - still very limited inventory mechanic and management - the list goes on. You might like the mod more than the Stand Alone, and it's your full right and opinion, but in reality it's no way in a better state than DayZ SA.

There's no edited loot on private hive servers. I found more VSS on experimental and public servers than on private hive. This is very good and shouldn't change, at all. Your personal bad luck with finding specific items shouldn't make the devs buff the loot tables so that everyone carries SVD and FAL... <_< Whyherro123 has a point, I think DayZ StandAlone isn't the game you're looking for.

You're kidding right?? I played thousand hours + in the mod, and for 200+ crash sites found, at least 150 only had the M1014 shotgun... In 1600+ hours of the stand alone, and at least 100+ crash sites found, I got more than decent gear on 75% of them. It's all a matter of luck.

The current dynamic events such as heli crash sites and police cars are better than they ever been, functioning great. It's DayZ, so it's all a matter of "luck" when finding good gear, it should never be a certainty, besides, what if the crash site you just found was looted 10 mins ago, you shouldn't be able to find more good military gear after that. What you want seems to be starter packages, as you seem to incline that you don't like finding gear to lose it to bandits soon after... Nah, crash sites are great the way they are, leave it like that.

Desync. When he got to the corner where you were hiding, on his screen you were still there even though on yours you had already ran behind him. That's DayZ for you!! When the netcode gets polished, the player character have their new controller, and the animations are in with synchronization optimized, we'll see these occurrences diminish greatly.

Yes, it's pretty rare, but when you eat Crispy Crisps cereals you have a chance to get one. Found 2 in 55-60 boxes... :lol:

Really liking the Glock19 so far.

The fox is pretty nice, but it's not new. Almost all animals except for cows and deer were removed in 0.58, but the fox was already in 0.56. Still, it's always fun finding rare things in DayZ. :thumbsup:
