:thumbsup: I've only played on private shards since they were added because of that. The only public shard I join is the experimental one. ;)

Saw a few goats here and there, but never actually killed one to cook and eat it. The rest is done and done. The animal I "hunted" the most was the carp, at least 40-50 caught, cooked and ate. B) Can't wait to see more fresh water fishes! (trouts, bass, pike, etc.)

:lol: Wow! :thumbsup:

Try using the search function please. This is a reported bug with the persistence on server, making items respawn endlessly. It's been a known bug since experimental 0.48 at least. (When the loot respawn mechanic was implemented along with the persistence.)

Anytime! The MP5 and it's mags spawn either at the police stations, or dynamic police car spawns. Again, those seem to be affected by the persistence and share the same bug as the heli crash sites. And try to find a Nato suppressor for the M4 or AUG, or an Eastern suppressor for the AK101 or 74 family, as they currently work. Although the sound is only a place holder, and the infected don't seem to care what so ever about the sound of the weapon and will aggro anyway, they work like a charm as for "silencing" your weapon past 25-30 meters. The suppressors spawn only in teddy bears under the Christmas trees. They will probably be removed with trees and teddy bears, and added to the crash site loot tables with the 0.53 stable patch. Nato suppressors will probably spawn at the UH-1Y (smoking one) and East suppressor at the Mi-8. (pistol suppressors don't seem to spawn at all) Anyway, have fun!

They are bugged. You need to join a server with persistence disabled as they are invisible on persistent servers.

Hmm, you seem to be late on info. Since 0.45-0.46, the M4 and FNX only spawned at UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter crash sites. Since 0.51, those crash sites have been changed to Bell UH-1Y "venom" helicopter crash sites, and they added the Steyr AUG and pistol grip shotgun to their possible weapon spawn. You can find AKM, AK101, AK-74 and AKs-74u with their attachments in barracks at military bases. There's lots of other weapons that were added and lot more weapon spawns in civilian locations and houses. Anyway, if you want an M4, you need to look for these. Good hunting!

All settled and ready! Bring it on! :thumbsup:

I think it's bout 5 or 6, and I tend to find v3s a lot in and around Zelenogorsk. Multiple possible spawns very close to each other. Most of the vehicle spawns seem to have changed also. They still respawn every server restart.

Hmm, it was probably a small glitch (which is already one to begin with... :lol: ) that you couldn't, as I found a V3S yesterday, got a canister, filled the truck and kept the canister "in my hands" (top of the inventory with hands free still) and didn't have any problem at all. I've stopped carrying other melee except knives, either combat, bayonet or kitchen knife as a challenge and mostly used my rifle to dispose of zombies. You can carry the "in your hands" item with something else you use in your hands, and it will only dropped the item once you put away the item you used in your hands.

Awesome! :thumbsup: B)

Like Kichi said, me either I never got a character reset in 800hrs + of gameplay. Be careful what server you join, and for a quick tip, go back to the menu to see your character before switching servers, just to be safe.

Since the private hives came, I steered off of the public hive and haven't come back yet. I'm glad I did since that way, server hoppers are a thing of the past. Got 7 different characters on different servers, so I never run out of options to play. To each his own though, I know what you mean about the utility of the public hive.

Hmm. I don't seem to have any problem finding weapons. But I stick to non-persistent servers because of their "christmas loot" bug or "no loot respawning bug". Also, for heli crash sites on non-persistent servers.

Nice RP! B)

Yet, everyone who smokes crave their cigarettes to "calm down".... The irony, right?? I've read a while ago that cigarettes, alcohol and a few other "substances" are confirmed to be implemented eventually. My guess is that when the medical system gets an update we might see those items start to appear.

Did you fix you problems when recording? Glad to see you can make videos again!! :lol: :thumbsup: Very nice video! I love night time!!

I'm gonna start an imgur account as Tinypic shrinks down resolution too much for my taste. The screenshots uploaded and the original ones on my comp have very different resolutions. Too much is lost with Tinypic...

I saw that huge building in a Daizy Zero mod I have. Some parts are enter-able too. We might see an interior for it eventually. (Probably after we get the prison, and maybe even after the interior of the new NEAF terminal gets furnished...)

Since when? :huh: This must have changed, because in 0.45,0.46, 0.47 and so on the limit was 3 crashes per server, back then UH-60 and Mi-8 were shared so each time you came across an Mi-8 you lost a chance to find an M4. Most people "hopped" servers when encountering even just 1 Mi-8. There's a guide on the forums explaining the mechanics, giving tips on how to find them, etc... It must have changed with 0.51 with the removal of the UH-60 that was replaced by the UH-1Y. Honestly we've done some testing on private hives, going to all 57 possible crash sites, and finding all 3. Sometimes 1 x Mi-8 and 2 x UH-1Y, sometimes 3 x Mi-8. Never seen more than 3 on a server. It's pretty easy to go to all crash sites spawns with vehicles now. Used to do it on 4 or 6 hours restart servers, but now it's doable on 2 hrs restart ones. Anyway, I'll have to trust your word on this, as I've never read anything official about this. (Even the official wiki clearly states how it works too... http://dayz.gamepedia.com/Helicopter_Crash_Sites )

There's a limit of 3 crash sites per server. They randomly change to the 50 some possible spawn points every server restart. If there's 4, 5 or 6 crash sites, it is either a bug (never heard or saw that bug before) or an admin exploit like we've seen in the past. It has been confirmed that admins exploited their rented servers, make them private or connected to the private hive, locked them and abused the manual restart feature to dupe items or make "christmas loot" spawn. Another reason why we have a wipe, to get rid of all the duped items. Seeing so many crash sites when the official limit is 3 per server, confirmed by devs, is quite obvious it's either an extremely, never reported glitch/bug, or an admin abuse. (like there's been in the past...)

This reminds me of the mod, when a server stayed open for hours without restarting, the crash sites were spawning continuously. Anyway this is either a small bug, or a blatant exploit by the server admin.

I call this set "Get to the choppa!!"

Ursa Major!! Wow! Fantastic shot xCapx!! :thumbsup:
