The no gun sound is a bug. In the recent status report, it says it's been worked on and will probably get fixed next exp patch. On a side note, clearing your cache might temporarily fix this. ( hold left ctrl+shift+ the "-" on the num pad) Lastly, did you stay in the server to see if you were getting looted? Also, there's a small "animation" + death screen now. If nothing like that appeared, then it might have been an "instant death" bug too. Courage, it's frustrating but eventually all of this will get better. (except for KoS, which will always stay in the hands of players....)

Personally I love searching for crash sites. I've found about 25-30 for the past few days, most UH-1Y and a few Mi-8. Total of 5xAUG, 3xM4 and 1xAK101, multiple mags, etc. But, it is pretty random. One crash site had 2 AUG while some didn't even have a weapon, but was not looted as there was multiple mags full of ammo... It's totally worth it if you want rare weapons and such. :thumbsup:

Personally I don't need "end-game". You get Game Over when you die, and you start again. That's perfect for a survival game. The only way to have some "end-game" in a survival game, would be to not have to survive anymore, and start "living" instead. Having an evac off the island, short cinematic, the end, would be "end-game" but wouldn't be DayZ anymore for me... Personally I set myself goals to achieve to keep play sessions interesting.

Pretty happy to see a wipe coming to get rid of the duped items, and getting rid of duping possibilities. (With the item IDs making the duped items disappear.) Thanks Septic! Short and sweet status report! :thumbsup:

Pretty cool video Street! But honestly this is more of a "killer" series than a bandit one. Bandits rob people in DayZ (was that way in the mod too....) thus making them pretty rare compared to "cold blooded killers", those that kill on sight. It's ok, I'm not saying you shouldn't kill on sight, but there wasn't really anything banditry in this video. No hostage situations or robbing of any kind. (P.S. Keep an eye out for leather sewing kits to fix those riders jacket! ;) Can't wait for the next video!) :thumbsup:

Always love your videos man! So full of emotions, sadness, laughter. (Kinda hate when you get betrayed, but it's part of DayZ, right?) :thumbsup: Cheers Sammy! B)

Remember to always log out in a "safe" location. Away from cities, and zombies. Under a pine tree is a good example.

Very nice to see your perspective on the carnival Tatanko! Instead of starting another thread about it, do you mind if I do like Weyland and add my screenshots of the event here?? Arriving at the mine. Tight security enforced so everything goes smoothly. People chatting while cooking food. Encountering Snake who's enjoying some coolness and humidity from the cave's rocky floor. (Insert your best Gollum impression.) Getting to the deepest part of the mine to get my fortune told. "Submissiveness can further one in achieving miner things. It is good to assist a powerful leader with a great goal." Thank you great fortune teller! Weyland can be our leader, and the great goal is set. I'll assist our great leader at the best of my capacities! We then had a strange issue with one of the participants. He somehow got "stuck" in the cave wall. :o But after a lot of effort from other attendees, we managed to break him free from his rocky prison! I'll be honest, there was some drug and alcohol abuse in some parts of the mine. Everyone had his little thing to get them in the mood. :P The great fortune teller has to get his inspiration and meditation from something! Fortune teller was then stoned as a rock! :D We then enjoyed some nice music, dancing and talking in good company. Overall a very fun night!! Can't wait for the next carnival! The Scamp family does know how to make parties!! :thumbsup: Thanks to everyone who dropped by and participated!

Nice to see you're joining the Colony Twig!! Welcome!

Was this yesterday night? In Elektro? Did the guy tell you any details about the "rape"? Did he say if his aggressors asked him to squeal like a pig? If so, I might have an idea who was the culprit.... :lol:

It's easier to see instead of showing all the different shots. It takes a total of 6 screenshots to see everything I have on me. (The content of 3 different vest, plus the containers inside them with their content.) I could have shopped it more to put everything on one screenshot, put it would have looked very charged.

All the rotten fruits and vegetables are gone for now, because basically what persistence and loot respawn will ultimately be, is that items will degrade over time. Like clothes and various items will go from "pristine" to "badly damaged", and then when "ruined", will disappear to make place for a new item to spawn. Eventually the same will be applied to fruits and vegetables, and they'll get to "rotten" state before degrading and disappearing for new things to spawn.

Regular (3PP) Stable Branch character.

I don't KoS, but I have to say that I should try it in a firefight. I found one on my Stable branch character now, so I guess I'll try to "PvP" with the one I got on a private shard. I've tested it on zombies, and I have to say that I really like this weapon. It has more recoil than the AK101 or M4, but less than the AKM. Like Kipps said though, the zeroing is fixed at 300m. It is rather accurate and overall I got used to, and really like the integrated scope. With the new parts they'll introduce to customize the weapon, it'll become a fantastic piece of equipment in my opinion.

It's a pretty old bug really. It's usually like "prone at your own risk" inside buildings. It happens mostly when you're elevated from the ground. (ie:second floor, etc.)

"Penillie has a strong but irregular pulse." No kidding right!?!? :lol: Insane video man! Thanks for sharing! :thumbsup: Spine chilling encounter.

Now you need netting to add to the burlap strips. It spawns near the small wooden boats on the coast. Edit: Berezhki has lots of these boats, but also try searching the ones near the southern coastal towns as I've found some (netting) there when Berezhki had none. You can also paint your crafted guillie suit parts or gun wraps green using green spray paint.

False. I found a "stack" of 3 netting. The limit per server isn't really working right now, as there's always the possibility to encounter the loot respawn bug which makes gear respawn almost endlessly. Anyway, Eugene said between 3 and 6 per server, but you can be lucky and find more.

The new gun wraps can be attached to most rifles out there. You need burlap sack strips (just use your knife to craft them) and netting. It will be default tan color, so to make them green, just find some spray paint and paint you wrapping! B)

Honestly, I think since persistence means loot respawn in real time and not loot refresh every server restart, which is the reason we come across those giant loot piles since loot respawn was implemented, the loot spawned from the crash sites, if caught in a "region" (the map is separated in smaller hexes/squares) where the loot respawns infinitely then yes, the crash sites even though not visible could "explode" in loot and become more visible that way. But it's just an hypothesis and have not been confirmed yet. (Though highly probable.)

No. After each restart there's just no other crash sites spawning, meaning there should only be 3 "loot patches" from crash sites scattered around the possible locations of the crash sites. The helicopter itself is invisible but the loot is on the ground. It's just not very easy to spot. We might not get an official word on this, but it's probably gonna get fixed in the next experimental and isn't really top priority bug to fix right now.

Thanks for confirming this! :thumbsup: Very nice little weapon. I like the search for one, setting personal objectives to achieve. Treasure hunting is very interesting for me! B) (You are a holy grail on two feet with the smersh vest and aug!! :lol: "rarest" things to come across as crash sites are rather rare, and disabled persistence server are even more rare!!)

Have you tried fixing it with a weapon cleaning kit yet? Does it "break" the weapon like it used to?

:o Great, cannibal ghosts! Very funny video man! Spooky, crazy and funny! :thumbsup:

Check DayZDB for locations. Currently on 0.51 stable the 3 possible crash sites per server restart only occur on servers without persistence. Look for those. You can search the forums for guides on how to search for crash sites too. Good luck!
