:thumbsup: That's what you get for trying to kill Legolas!! lol :lol:

True! :thumbsup:

Long live the Colony!! Been having a great time so far! Looking forward to the promising future ahead!

We might see René joining the Colony 1PP server? That would be awesome!! :lol: :thumbsup:

:thumbsup: Freakin massacre alright! B)

Fantastic status report. This was a beast one with answers to a few questions we had and shared recently. A lot of good news in this. Looking forward to the new additions and changes! :thumbsup:

It's supposed to be integral part of the game, but thank god we currently had the option to turn it off as it's not working properly (never has... :rolleyes: ) and was a work in progress. If they really decide to go through with a complete integration in 0.54, I hope it means they made great progress and fixed both the no loot respawning and the "loot puke"/"christmas loot" problems! :thumbsup:

:thumbsup: Amazing! B)

Nice man!! You're always the one to get your hands on the rarest stuff! :thumbsup: May I ask where you found it? (Mi-8 crash site I presume. You're the first one to find it, at least to report it, and I guessed it only spawned at crash sites.) Edit: While being at it, I'll add my current fav toon for the sake of it, instead of double posting. I can't get away from my makeshift hero skin. It's sticking to me since December 2013. I like varying looks, but I always get at least one of my characters to look like this. Just need some Rocket shades now. Private hive, 1PP only.

Had some encounter at the prison on the -UN-/ZaP #1 server. 5 armed fellows, non-hostile, securing the prison, plus 3 lone wolves (me included) looking around feeling rather safe for once. And now random non-related shots.

Absolutly amazing shot man! Comparing the original shot, the post processing seem to have been minimal and the original still looks fantastic! :thumbsup:

Avoid persistent servers Street. This is just a brief glimpse at what you can find at the prison. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/220480-where-is-all-the-good-stuff-at/#entry2215530 Keep it up man! Always love 1PP footage! :thumbsup:

I mostly use the hatchet since it came out, but before that, I only carried a combat or kitchen knife. Combat knife with military boots is a very nice combo for those who like the challenge! But seriously the hatchet is OP. If you learn to get it right, it's a 1 hit kill on zombies always. (Just hit the head once.) It doesn't make an animation taking it out like the fire or splitting axe, or other 2 hand melee weapons. It switches must faster that way, and the swing animation it has is very easy to get it right on the head of foes.

I've had this happen a couple of times when the game desynced for a short period of time while I was hitting, clicking or firing resulting in being stuck shooting or hitting until I clicked again to stop the process. It's been happening mostly recently but I have had this happen too during 0.42 patch. Happened mostly during laggy moments, or low FPS areas. I'd say try to avoid high latency servers and bear with it until the game gets polished. (netcode, engine, glitch/bugs removal, etc.)

I don't have any problem at all finding anything really. Just avoid persistence enabled servers as they tend to bug and not spawn anything unless players remove all items from areas to start the respawn mechanic, which won't be like that in the future. You can still try your bet at finding the "christmas loot"/"loot puke" still happening here and there, or just go to persistence disabled servers. For weapons, if you like submachine guns or automatic weapons, I would suggest the prison, as there's way too much stuff there currently. Good luck out there!

Like Dog and Killawife said, the barracks are your best bet, or if you want to swim, or find a submarine to get to the prison, they spawn a lot there.

I've heard various things about the spawns at crash sites. I'd say it's pretty random, cause I was incline to say that the M4 was more rare than the other spawns, as I found 6 AUG for 1 M4, but some had the opposite of what I found. It's a bit funny that you start this topic today, as yesterday I finally found an M4 at a crash site, to go with the mags I had for a long, long time...

It's a known bug. To avoid this, before doing an action, drag and drop the item carried in your hands on the ground before performing action. We know a workaround to avoid this so please use it while we wait for a fix, as this is in no case a game breaking problem. Of course, you can be sure that this will be fixed eventually.

Brilliant! :lol: Great axing skills TopREC!!

Fantastic shot! Really feels like the environment is taking over. So lush and green. Love the camp fire too, adds warmth! ;) I always stop by this place on my helicopter crash site search runs, sometimes catching a few carps in the nearby stream. B)

Hit the turbo, you'll be fine! :thumbsup: (I never let it go.) A good speed is a top speed! (Don't try this at home!)

:lol: Wearing the wolf mask is never a good idea when trying to be a "hero" in DayZ... I kinda liked the bandits and heroes in the mod since they were directly linked to a mechanic of the game : the humanity system. But in the stand alone, there's no such thing. Only your real humanity, and the one you immerse yourself into, whether it's roleplay or plain military tactics with a group on TeamSpeak. I really liked the hero skin in the mod, and often go back to my makeshift version of it in the stand alone, but it's only as a personal taste, like you wearing that wolf mask. In the end, the "hero" style gameplay in my opinion is talk first and shoot later. Waiting a bit behind that house trying to hear what they were saying might have been a better idea, as the guy you shot was just eating there. A bit careless if you ask me, with all this apocalypse going on everywhere, but in the end, you just killing him straight like that was just cold blooded murder. :D Some call this "bandit" style, but it's clearly not as no one was robbed of anything (except his life... :rolleyes: ) and no interaction other than gunfire so, if someone call "banditry" on that, lol. Try using the mic a bit more man, might have been an interesting interaction, as those guys seemed to just have met and were using in game voip to communicate. Anyway, that's just my taste. Keep it up man.

North of Kamensk village, small place called Krasnoe. Shhhhh. ;)

Yes. Really like the flare gun and the effects it gives. The ambiance created makes me think of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. for some reason. Night time = :thumbsup: Can't get enough. (Can't wait to see the new renderer!)

I had these shots for a while, but was weary to post them to keep our "secret". ;) Kamensk is definetely my favorite village/place to be currently. As much as I like the prison, it's hell out there, as Kamensk and it's surroundings are heaven to me! :lol:
