How do you get your character wiped? Since .48, I played with both my regular and hardcore stable character and regular and hardcore experimental characters for at least 30 hours, and never got any wipe. I did get the " Your character info could not be retrieved from the main hive.." but you just have to get out of the server, and log back in to get it back. (which worked for both experimental and stable when it happened to me) Also, when the server restart you have to go back to the main title screen instead of directly switching servers. Once you see your character in the menu, you can go back to the server list. Being cautious helps keeping your character from being "wiped". The only wipe I ever get is the experimental one everything they update it, and got used to it very quickly. To each his own, but I love starting new characters and playing differently, or varying my looks.

Once the wipe has taken place, they should remove the 60 round coupled mag for the M4. That thing is just silly. It always been like that, and I always hated it so much that I haven't used it for the past 7 months... Once you fired the first 30 round, you should do some reload animation instead of continuing firing while the bullets teleport themselves from the left mag, directly in the chamber... It's a small esthetic thing that's very very silly imo... Until the game is finished, or at least goes to beta, we should never take anything for granted. Gear, certain items, certain features, etc.

:lol:

Hardcore (FPV) Experimental Branch Detailed carried items. Edit: In before the eventual 0.49 wipe of both experimental, and for the first time, stable branch. Made a few changes to my FVP character. Switched the Mosin for an AKM. Had a mag, and got the gun with a couple more mags off a fellow survivor. (Sorry Ironside, may you R.I.P. You surprised me at the Pavlovo military base.) Then, found a stash in the woods, behind some pine trees. An AKM 75 round drum, and some pristine AK parts. Detailed carried items.

The tactical vest used to spawn when the alpha came out back in December 2013, but they removed it around Feb-March. Only players that still had some and dupers may have one. If the M4 did have any hacked infinite ammo mags, it's still a good gun overall. But in the end, yes, you did good.

Some random recent screenshots! Closed tent with the fire still burning outside. Fire out, chemlight in. Taking a break from all the chaos... "Lloyd, server me another one!" Sitting on top of a ruined tank. "Insert random vehicle reference." Leaving supplies in Cherno church for anyone to pick up. Dead. Apocalypse Rodin Hood, without the hood... I hope we get various types of fresh water fish like pikes, bass, trouts, etc. Love fishing IRL and in any game... Last one for today. Always enjoyed the surroundings of Green Mountain.

Bugged or not, I don't have any problem killing zombies with melees.... Indoors, outside, it doesn't matter. Sidestep, circle around them and hit them. Heck, you don't even need to aim for the head!!

Exactly. As much as I like my regular stable branch character that's been alive since February 2014, during development we should get regular wipes. (just like the experimental build, every patch) I really hope they are going to fix the duping and hacked infinite ammo mags and clips. This will truly be one big step in the right direction and a big game changer for all who loves pvp. ( I don't do much pvp and it's not really my style so it's not really affecting me. I've only encountered and infinite ammo teleporting hacker once with the clan I'm in mainly because we were on a high pop server, with our group of 6 or 7...) Still, :thumbsup: .

I keep finding .45 ACP ammo boxes in experimental servers but haven't found any FNX at all. I thought they were only at heli crashes like the M4, grenades, flashbang, combat knives and a few other items only spawning at those heli crashes.

Sorry for my bad english. I realized the sarcasm at the end of your post. "There is not enough ammo in the game," :lol: My bad. Should have know.

Regular Experimental Branch. Basic hunter/sniper supplies. Got everything I need. B)

I really hope they fix our hacker/scripter/cheater problem soon. Those filthy hacked mags!! (or clips in this case) Did you dispose of them?

I've never changed my controls since I customized them back in December 2013 and "2xW" still works for me. I use spacebar for "turbo" and V to vault.... Maybe try to change "running" to "2 x W". I hope you figure it out. ("shift" for me is for walking instead of running...)

Wow! B) Very nice Sammy! Really looked fun! :thumbsup:

Personally? This. Gorka automn or PautRev camo patern military jacket with spring hunter pants. Improvised leather backpack. You can choose different headdress with camos you like, same with the boots. Gloves or not, I tried and like this set up quite a lot!

Experimental again. Hardcore branch character : Wilderness survivor. Hunting, Fishing. (I will continue calling them Hardcore and Regular... Not liking the First person/Third person simple definitions. Eventually I'll have to get use to it if they don't change them back...) Regular branch character. City dweller survivor. Basic civilian gear for now.

I've heard it was a new hack, and I think it's true because I've never experienced it in experimental before, and I spend most of my DayZ time in experimental. Although avoiding most "hotspots" and not doing much PVP, thus why I think it's not a bug, but possibly a new hack.

:lol: :thumbsup: Thanks for sharing!!

Nicely structured post so far with varied tastes based on personal reasons. I like that. On topic, personally it's the 1911. I always loved it's real life counterpart and even though it's not the best pistol in the game, it's a very efficient and elegant weapon in my opinion. The engraved 1911 is a beauty. Second best is probably the M4. I hated the sound when the alpha came out and I'm glad they changed it. With it's attachments and paint option, I like the varied looks it can have. (I know the AKM and AK101 are similar in customizations, but the designs of those weapons are very different than the M4 and even though I love them, I had to pick personal favorites.) Last choice would be an FNX. Being the first weapon I used in the Stand Alone, and probably the one I used most, it's reliability and nostalgia factor makes it one of my favorite gun in the game even though I had, and have no interest at all in it's real life counterpart.

Welcome to the great DayZ forums, MedicHere!! Like Sula, I've been playing for a couple of years" Still remember my first time in a server in the mod, finding a Lee Enfield and sounding the dinner bell... :lol: My first time in the stand alone was when it came out in mid December, and it was amazing. I loved all those changes with clothing items and visuals. Finding my first gun, an FNX, and later a mag to load it was pretty epic. Then, the cherry on top of the cake: an M4 with a 30 round mag right next to it... I was in heaven! :rolleyes: Have fun and good luck in Chernarus fellow survivor!!

I got one on hardcore stable I think. Didn't test the feature with the combat boots as I don't wear combat boots... Will try and test it out tonight and then give you some feedback. Edit: Seems like it works! Thanks to Calibre for providing proof!

It's a known bug/glitch. You don't lose any of the items. You just need to re-equip the said item container. (backpack, pants, jacket, etc.) It happens quite often when moving clothing items filled with other items. Yes, it'll be fixed eventually, but it's really not a priority. (I suppose it would be fixed faster if the items were really "disappearing" and we would lose them.)

Just came out of experimental. Saw the same thing. About 30 lit up chem lights on hardcore Sing. 0-4 Everywhere I went there was some chemlights or flares lit up. Novo, Chernaya Polana, Gorka, Kragnostav, etc... I did participate and lit up a few myself...

Hardcore experimental, somewhere. ;) Edit: Made some changes with a recent loot run. Kinda nice that the "inception" with clothes still works. So much spaces in tents!! (All the clothes are filled with food, ammo, a magnum, spare matches, and a few other goodies.)

What Dr. Jones said. Some call it "terminus".... ;) (Back in the mod, we used to call it that way. With the train station, and the end of the east-west line, it was pretty fitting, and now even more with the bus station!)
