This house. This is where I found most of my CR527 mags. Of course you can find them elsewhere (other civilian houses, hilux/pickup wrecks, car wrecks, etc.) but this is the place I found 80%+ of the CR527 mags I encountered. Heck, once I found a mag next to the rifle itself. Goodluck! Safe travels survivor!

There's something we need to understand too. We'll be able to mod the game, single player too. For tests purposes, and for gameplay features. With the addition of more infected, dangerous wild life (wolves, bears, etc) and the survival aspects, it'll be interesting to see. Having some options on how the loot spawns, can make for a barren land filled with dangers. And back to mods, two words: Artificial Intelligence. I played the DayZ mod a lot before starting playing the Stand Alone when it came out, and I already had Single Player versions of the mod. ( Daisy, DayZ X and DayZ 2018) I have to say that being shot from a player or an AI makes absolutely no difference at all. Unless there's vocal interactions between players, simply getting KoS from a player or AI isn't different. The only difference is their motives, which when you're dead, don't matter anymore. One is programmed to do so, the other might have had some interest in your gear, or just wanted to ruin your day, you'll never know unless he gets close enough and start talking about his motives. In the end there's no difference between getting attacked by AI or players. It is simply a bunch of pixels shooting another bunch of pixels in a virtual world. Only consciousness can differ the two, and that is only a matter of perspective. B) Bloody brilliant. :thumbsup:

I don't believe that. Players who like the multiplayer and player interactions will continue to play multiplayer, while people that don't have "powerful PCs" or good internet connection or that simply don't like "PVP" all that much will probably get the game now. Being able to satisfy a wider range of players is only a good thing really. It also means that DayZ will "live forever" as long as there are computers. If there wasn't any single player, when the servers would be shut down, it would mean the end of the game. Online games, or games that need an internet connection have a very limited lifespan. I still play Morrowind, and don't need any internet access. DayZ with single player is Immortal DayZ. I love that.

Yessss!!!! Single Player. I knew it. It was an eventuality, since it would mean a "life after DayZ". I mean, I love online only games, but they die and there's no way to play them after... A lot of online games I seen over the years had their production/development stopped, and had their servers shut down, making it impossible to play. Take for example Diablo. I still play Diablo 1 from time to time, but when Diablo 3 servers come down, it will be impossible to play. It's brilliant really, as a single player option doesn't remove anything from the game really, and don't affect those who play online and vice versa. It will only make more "casual" gamers get the game, or those who have a bad internet connection. I had mentioned that DayZ would get a single player mode very early, and some people started bashing and hating on the reasons I mentioned, saying things like "they should get a better connection then" and what-not, making very disrespectful remarks. Why should we impose our beliefs to others?? http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/163396-singleplayer-offline-mode/?hl=singleplayer http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/197471-single-player-mode/ Anyway, thanks for sharing this Weyland. Looking forward on the future of DayZ. :thumbsup:

I'm glad you can confirm boars to be still in the game. I've seen all the other animals so far, but I've yet to see a boar in 0.57, which is very sad since my favorite backpack is an improvised leather one... :( The hunt is on!! >:(

DayZ is a harsh world. You did good. I met a fellow survivor yesterday. I tried communicating with him, vocally, using various language. He didn't reply anything. Not a single word spoken, or typed. I wiggled. He flipped me off. I laughed and left him there. He wasn't armed, and was probably waiting for me to put him out of his misery, but I didn't. Surviving is tougher than simply giving up... Besides, he might see this as some hope left out there, maybe.

The crash sites are what we called dynamic events. They are currently been worked on, because with persistence it created a bug which didn't allow for loot to respawn at them, and their position was static too. It will be fixed eventually. Try to read the status report to know where we at development side: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/225439-status-report-27-may-15/ As for vehicles, this is also directly linked to persistence, which is stated in the above status report that it's been deactivated for the time being.

Yep. This is a known "issue". (unfinished feature really...) Dynamic events will become dynamic again once CLE and persistence gets updated. B) Safe travels survivor.

:lol: Brings back memories!! :thumbsup: Thanks for sharing this René, much appreciated.

Flashlights still spawn in 0.57 stable, but not batteries.

Favorite look so far in 0.57. Not very original since it was mostly how I look like since 0.54/0.55 but still, I love the new textures for hunting pants and jackets. Updated Musty Gaming private hive character. Details.

Brilliant. B) :thumbsup:

Just you. ^_^ I've seen compass at deer stands, in sheds, in civilian houses and other spots too. But, that being said, can only find the brass compass for now, and haven't seen 1 plastic compass in 0.57...

I still find plenty action at Elektro, Berezino and all the mili base, but it all depends on the population on the server really. Edit: What I mean is, high pop servers don't always mean "pvp in elektro battle royal". If you're on a 50/50 full server and you hang around the NWAF for 30-35 minutes, see no one, start shooting the infected roaming around for another 20-30 minutes without seeing or hearing anyone else, it means you might be on a role-play server... Or you're very lucky. ;)

Back in 0.54 experimental (Before that, nothing really good used to spawn there, or at least the items were not as rare and could be found around many other areas.) I tired to get there as fast as I can to "make camp" ,as it wasn't really known, but someone else that I won't name "leaked" the info, and it started to become much more frequented. I provided screenshots with light flares from a flare gun, and others started sharing those info. Since then, I've encountered numerous camps, players or other traces of survivors. Still, sorry to put oil on the fire. I try to help and provide as much info as I can when someone asks for advice or help with something.

I wouldn't say overlooked, I would say server hopped... <_< Came across a group of 3 server hoppers there yesterday. This is a pretty known spot since tanks spawns lots of mil gear. All the tanks across the map are now hotspots. DayZDB isn't really updated now so we can't rely on that. The tanks at the NWAF or Myshkino tent city are very good spots for high grade gear, but also at the NEAF and here: http://dayzdb.com/map#7.067.001 North of Krasnoe there's a wrecked convoy.

Hunting backpacks are easily found in feeding shacks, deer stands, guard towers and a few other civilian spawns. Taloon and mountain can easily be found in civilian houses across the map, while the tortilla backpack can be found at wrecked tanks, wrecked humvees and tall thin towers. (Not the red and white ones, but the ones at the NWAF or the one here: http://dayzdb.com/map#7.082.044 The tower behind the village pub. There seem to always spawn a tortilla backpack there, along with several pair of boots mili grade and field shovels.)

Tried, but you can't right now.

Musty Gaming Private hive 1PP public hive. Can't really show menu screenshots as it's pretty buggy right now, and doesn't show weapons in hand.

Sadly yes, it was like that on 0.56 and 0.57 experimental. I really thought this would have been fixed for the stable release, as it's already been at least 3-4 weeks since we first saw that. On to the main topic: screenshots. Some random shots of the recent stable 0.57 push.

I found a grand total of 17 hunting scopes in both the experimental branch, and stable 0.57 build. I tested on the various rifle available, and personally my favorite combo is the Winchester model 70 with the hunting scope, closely followed by the CR527.

Found hunting scopes in deer stands, feeding shacks and the guard towers. (The two at Stary, or those at the NWAF and Myshkino tent city military base.)

The plate carrier vests seem to only spawn at the prison island right now. Pouches can be found at guard houses, wrecked tanks and other areas too. Pistol holsters can be found at police cars, and outhouses. The pouches still fit in a hunting backpack or mountain backpack.

Neither really. I know Hicks said the UMP isn't in yet, and it was only "leaked" in experimental, but I haven't seen any M4, nor any attachments for the M4 except for the scopes, which are shared by other weapons. But no RIS grip, CQB buttstocks, plastic parts or Magpul grips/stocks either... My guess is that they don't spawn either.

The SMERSH vest had only been rare when it used to spawn at the only 3 crash sites on the map, no smoke, Mi-8 helicopter, that were static back then. Came out the same time the PM Rak was released too. Back then, the vest was rare, but when they added the dynamic smoking crash sites (the blackhawks at that time, now they are UH-1Y high poly models) they became less rare, and then very common with newer versions of the loot system, which disregarded M65 jackets and SMERSH vests from their restricted heli crash loot spawns. It's pretty cool, as everyone can find one and test it/use it, just like the M65 jackets, but I hope they get their rare crash site spawn status back eventually.
