Those are good questions that I'm asking myself. Would be great to have an official reply on this, but I doubt it, and I think we'll need to experience it ourselves in experimental.

Made another "hero" skin. Can't seem to let go of that look, I like it too much. Fisherman hero.

So far on both exp and stable branches I've wanted to test this again, but never found a bipod. Either it's now uber rare, or they removed it cause it was causing the lost gear bug. I have multiple weapons with RIS grips and attached flashlights without any problems or gear loss. Still on the lookout for a bipod.

No worries, I knew it wasn't gonna hit .61 but I was happy with the info, and think it's gonna be pretty amazing non-the-less, no matter when we get the new animations/player controller.

Very nice! Really looking forward to hearing the new sounds! Also, with all the new animations for reloading, chambering AND unjamming weapons, this will be fantastic. Keep it up fellas! Cheers!

I like that the pouches are back for the plate carrier, but the full ammo box is a little o.p. for my taste. Also, the removal of weapons at crash sites saddens me, as I could avoid going to military bases and found everything I needed at crash sites, but now if I want a better rifle, I have to go to military bases to get one. Hopefully, this is only temporary and simply a bug, as it makes no sense anyway...

Rainbow flare through the rain. Holy smokes Batman! Capturing lightning strikes.

I found lots of t-shirts in civilian houses, looking for Black Slack pants. The "Freddy Crueger" one seem to be pretty popular lately as I came across quite a few of them. So far I've seen about 25-30 t-shirts. I often look for the black and white check shirt, so I find lots of civilian clothing. I only found 2 pairs of black slacks though, and quite a few of the other colors.

That happened to me quite often as well. In fact, the very first time it happened to me was on January 10th 2014, on the NEAF when it used to be "military". I was alone on the server, moving from the then empty plains of Svetlo where I spawned, heading west into the mainland. Stopped at the NEAF to grab a few weapons/ammo. Heard footsteps outside of the ATC, so I started talking in direct, telling the other player I wasn't hostile. No replies. I tried for a few more seconds to talk to the guy, when he just went prone and aimed at the door where I was. Last warning, no change, so I just peeked and gave him a swift spawn back on the coast somewhere. Since then, I had often encountered players on either empty or very low pop servers. How ironic to not find any players on high pop servers when you try to get encounters after...

Ok, so I've found about 6 UH-1Y crash sites, and 5 Mi-8 ones with no weapon at all. Ammo, nades, clothes, plate carrier attachments, vests, etc. But no rifles, SMGs or pistols. I'll continue my search but so far I can confirm that guns don't seem to spawn at crash sites in the current hot-fix.

I had read that the plate carrier pouches were not spawning in 0.60 and personally, I had only found the plate carrier itself and the pistol holster. But, either it was simply extremely rare, or it's been re-added because yesterday I found the pouches at a Mi-8 crash site.

Never experienced this so far. Is this happening with all the weapons you try, or very specific ones?

That's the mythical Vybor spawn. It's a bug that's been around for a very long time. It even was a made into a script some hackers used to spawn every player on the server as a freshy in Vybor... chaos ensued... :/ The thing is, you mustn't join a server right after it restarted. If the server is schedule to restart and be set at 4PM, and you see the server time is 8AM for example, you shouldn't join the server as you might loose your gear and start again as a fresh spawn, as the server failed to connect to hive and retrieve your character info.

A good portion of the player base are mainly playing in Private Hive servers, so what we just need is more Admin tools for those hosting servers. They will be able to adjust weapon spawns, ammo ratio, food quantities, etc. That's been announced a while ago, and it'll be the best way to find "your" DayZ experience. Public servers will be something very distinctive when we reach 1.0 and we'll be able to identify them as Vanilla Stand Alone. With the better admin tools and mods, the DayZ Stand Alone experience will vary greatly from server to server. This, and everything else mentioned in this topic so far. There's nothing stopping the devs really, but it's one brick at a time.

Personally, it's Green Mountain. The area surrounding it, and the green house between Rogovo and Pogorevka. I think I "live" there. I love Cherno, old and new, and many other spots around the map, but the first thing that comes to my mind when thinking about DayZ, is Green Mountain.

Yes I did. Can't wait till this bug is fixed. (If it gets fixed.)

Thank you shadowplay.

Just a quick message to wish you all a great Independence Day! Cheers fellas! (Screenshot of last year small "event" Tatanko, BleedoutBill and I did.)

Feeding shacks also have hunting scopes, but since 0.60 it's super easy to find the scope attached to a rifle. Try the "gun house", as there's bound to be a bunch of rifles lying on the ground, with at least one of them with a scope. I also find hunting scopes in hunting jacket and pants.

No, the fishing rod has purpose. (You can't use the fishing traps to catch fresh water fishes (carp) right now.) I'm a survivalist, and I do agree that it's too easy to find can goods, ammo and weapons right now. Still way too easy in my opinion.

The only time it ever happened to me, I was carrying the exact same thing as you, on my back. Thanks for the info, and I hope others will share more details as to what they were carrying, although at this point it might not be necessary and it's probably fixed internally. (Or on the recent experimental, haven't checked it yet.)

From what I read from the feedback tracker, bipods are mainly causing this, no matter if you double carry or not. It seems like now one with weapons other than M4s and AKs had this happen. So it's not "attachments" causing this as it doesn't happen with MP5, UMP, AUG or FAL. (So far, no one reported it happening with these weapons.) But, that being said, someone (Forkys) from the bug tracker replied this: Hello everyone and thank you for the report. The issue has been confirmed and scheduled for a fix. Regards, Forkys

I've had this happen to me once, and since then, I've never had it happen again, not matter what server I join (public or private, 1PP or 3PP) and it seems the only time I had it happen, was when I had an M4 with flashlight and bipod attached. Since then, I got multiple characters with M4, and never had this happen. Can everyone who had this happen tell us what weapons the had, and with what attachments? Does it happen even if you don't carry and M4 or AK with attachments? I don't double carry and wasn't double carrying when it happened to me. On public hive, 1PP or 3PP, I've joined Gameservers, Gamingdeluxe, Fragnet and Vilayer servers without any issues. On the private hive servers, I mostly play on DayZ Underground, DayZ Colony US-2 and the -UN- servers. If this ONLY happens when players are carrying M4s and AKs with specific attachments (RIS grip, flashlight, bipod) then we can pinpoint the issue. On a side note, I had a small weird glitch with my 1PP public character: I had painted my AK74 black, with all plastic attachments black and the mags I had, black, and this for the past 2-3 weeks. But, yesterday when I logged in with my character, for some reason my mags were now green, while I never painted them green, nor were they green before.

Hello fellow survivors. First things first, this post isn't about your dreams for what the final product of DayZ might be, but rather, dreams you may have had about DayZ. Since 0.60 hit experimental, and then stable, we've seen an increase in forum activity, so I'm taking this opportunity since we might get more responses from the forum users, and have a bigger variety of replies and shares. I'm really curious about this. Ever since I started playing DayZ, back when it was only a mod for ArmA2, I've had occasions that my dreams were either set in Chernarus, Namalsk or random fictitious environment I've never been too, but with the DayZ items, inventory system, ui, infected or player interactions. About 3 or 4 times I can remember dreaming about the mod, but that sky-rocked when the stand alone came. Since December 2013, I can think of about 25 to 30 different occasions I've had dreams about DayZ. Sometimes it simply looting a town, going from houses to houses to collect clothes, food and what not, while other times it's simply an all out PVP battle. I'd say the majority of my dreams happen in first person, but on some occasions, I was able to see my character, making the dream appear as if I'm playing the game rather than "living" in it. About 3 or 4 months ago, I had a few ones that felt "continuous", based around the UMP. I had a few dreams in very different locations, that didn't look like Chernarus, but every time I had a somewhat very similar look and inventory content, carrying the UMP as my weapon. One thing that never happened, was the use of melee in my DayZ dreams. Not once was I carrying an axe on my back, or swinging anything else than my fists. Am I the only one with those kind of dreams? Please share your experiences! Safe travels survivors!

I wish I could draw too, cause most of the times I clearly remember my dream, and sometimes it looks very "unique" and different from both Chernarus, and real life locations. Very interesting non-the-less. I hope you'll get a new system soon! Cheers!
