    Thanks a lot for the update. Can you say what the cause of the gear wiping was? And can we swap handguards and attach things to them with impunity now? 

    So far on both exp and stable branches I've wanted to test this again, but never found a bipod. Either it's now uber rare, or they removed it cause it was causing the lost gear bug.

    I have multiple weapons with RIS grips and attached flashlights without any problems or gear loss. Still on the lookout for a bipod.

    Just an FYI - New animations won't come until new animation system / player controller.

    No worries, I knew it wasn't gonna hit .61 but I was happy with the info, and think it's gonna be pretty amazing non-the-less, no matter when we get the new animations/player controller.

    I like that the pouches are back for the plate carrier, but the full ammo box is a little o.p. for my taste. Also, the removal of weapons at crash sites saddens me, as I could avoid going to military bases and found everything I needed at crash sites, but now if I want a better rifle, I have to go to military bases to get one. 

    Hopefully, this is only temporary and simply a bug, as it makes no sense anyway...

    I found lots of t-shirts in civilian houses, looking for Black Slack pants. The "Freddy Crueger" one seem to be pretty popular lately as I came across quite a few of them. 

    So far I've seen about 25-30 t-shirts. I often look for the black and white check shirt, so I find lots of civilian clothing. 

    I only found 2 pairs of black slacks though, and quite a few of the other colors.

    That happened to me quite often as well. 

    In fact, the very first time it happened to me was on January 10th 2014, on the NEAF when it used to be "military". I was alone on the server, moving from the then empty plains of Svetlo where I spawned, heading west into the mainland. Stopped at the NEAF to grab a few weapons/ammo. Heard footsteps outside of the ATC, so I started talking in direct, telling the other player I wasn't hostile. No replies. I tried for a few more seconds to talk to the guy, when he just went prone and aimed at the door where I was. Last warning, no change, so I just peeked and gave him a swift spawn back on the coast somewhere.

    Since then, I had often encountered players on either empty or very low pop servers. How ironic to not find any players on high pop servers when you try to get encounters after...

    Ok, so I've found about 6 UH-1Y crash sites, and 5 Mi-8 ones with no weapon at all. Ammo, nades, clothes, plate carrier attachments, vests, etc. But no rifles, SMGs or pistols. 

    I'll continue my search but so far I can confirm that guns don't seem to spawn at crash sites in the current hot-fix.

    I had read that the plate carrier pouches were not spawning in 0.60 and personally, I had only found the plate carrier itself and the pistol holster. But, either it was simply extremely rare, or it's been re-added because yesterday I found the pouches at a Mi-8 crash site.

    I rejoined the server very quickly today after a server crash,  all my inventory was gone, pants, shirt, shoes, everything and I spawned in Vybor, I was lucky I was a fresh spawn when it happened.

    That's the mythical Vybor spawn. It's a bug that's been around for a very long time. It even was a made into a script some hackers used to spawn every player on the server as a freshy in Vybor... chaos ensued...  :/

    The thing is, you mustn't join a server right after it restarted. If the server is schedule to restart and be set at 4PM, and you see the server time is 8AM for example, you shouldn't join the server as you might loose your gear and start again as a fresh spawn, as the server failed to connect to hive and retrieve your character info.

    Dayz has always pitched itself as a brutal survival game, the amount of times I've heard 'struggle to survive' in relation to this game is astronomical. 

    The issue is that beyond the first couple of days of the patch, it simply is not difficult to survive at all. Food is extremely easy to acquire, I never find myself looking for food, it's always something I find while looking for something else, and I always find it in large quantities. 

    The first couple of days of 60 were some of the most fun I've had playing dayz, and also it was the first time I've ever had to use cooking as a way of not starving. 

    So I want to know, what is stopping the devs from drastically reducing the amount of food spawning immediately, or next patch? As the devs have independent control of the cle, I see no reason why they couldn't maintain a standard level of food during the first few days of 61 while everyone is fresh, and then drop the level of food by even half once the rush has died down. 

    Tl;Dr we have the basics of crafting, hunting and cooking, what is stopping the devs from lowering food levels as of right now?

    A good portion of the player base are mainly playing in Private Hive servers, so what we just need is more Admin tools for those hosting servers. They will be able to adjust weapon spawns, ammo ratio, food quantities, etc. That's been announced a while ago, and it'll be the best way to find "your" DayZ experience.

    Public servers will be something very distinctive when we reach 1.0 and we'll be able to identify them as Vanilla Stand Alone. With the better admin tools and mods, the DayZ Stand Alone experience will vary greatly from server to server. 

    This, and everything else mentioned in this topic so far. There's nothing stopping the devs really, but it's one brick at a time.

    OH the trumpet has one, right on. Ive looked at quite a few  deer stands, and tree stands but I am having issues finding one. Longhorns, Rangefinders, B95, Bino's etc.. and I know its just me looking because I played odd hours to run a gauntlet check. 1/50 me.

    I got lots of smoker heli spawns, few nice items... too many guns now.

    Feeding shacks also have hunting scopes, but since 0.60 it's super easy to find the scope attached to a rifle. Try the "gun house", as there's bound to be a bunch of rifles lying on the ground, with at least one of them with a scope. I also find hunting scopes in hunting jacket and pants.

    I had an M4 with RIS guard, bipod and flashlight attached on my back... Wasn't double carrying.

    The only time it ever happened to me, I was carrying the exact same thing as you, on my back. Thanks for the info, and I hope others will share more details as to what they were carrying, although at this point it might not be necessary and it's probably fixed internally. (Or on the recent experimental, haven't checked it yet.)

    From what I read from the feedback tracker, bipods are mainly causing this, no matter if you double carry or not. It seems like now one with weapons other than M4s and AKs had this happen. So it's not "attachments" causing this as it doesn't happen with MP5, UMP, AUG or FAL. (So far, no one reported it happening with these weapons.)

    But, that being said, someone (Forkys) from the bug tracker replied this:

    Hello everyone and thank you for the report.
    The issue has been confirmed and scheduled for a fix.
    Regards,
    Forkys

    I've had this happen to me once, and since then, I've never had it happen again, not matter what server I join (public or private, 1PP or 3PP) and it seems the only time I had it happen, was when I had an M4 with flashlight and bipod attached. Since then, I got multiple characters with M4, and never had this happen.

    Can everyone who had this happen tell us what weapons the had, and with what attachments?

    Does it happen even if you don't carry and M4 or AK with attachments? I don't double carry and wasn't double carrying when it happened to me.

    On public hive, 1PP or 3PP, I've joined Gameservers, Gamingdeluxe, Fragnet and Vilayer servers without any issues. On the private hive servers, I mostly play on DayZ Underground, DayZ Colony US-2 and the -UN- servers.

    If this ONLY happens when players are carrying M4s and AKs with specific attachments (RIS grip, flashlight, bipod) then we can pinpoint the issue.

    On a side note, I had a small weird glitch with my 1PP public character: I had painted my AK74 black, with all plastic attachments black and the mags I had, black, and this for the past 2-3 weeks. But, yesterday when I logged in with my character, for some reason my mags were now green, while I never painted them green, nor were they green before.

     I find it all very funny, I actually like these dreams. I mean I wish I knew how to draw so I could show you how it looks like, but its like real life mixed with dayz.

    I wish I could draw too, cause most of the times I clearly remember my dream, and sometimes it looks very "unique" and different from both Chernarus, and real life locations. 

    Very interesting non-the-less. I hope you'll get a new system soon! Cheers!

    3) Heli spawns. At one point it was 3 choppers every 4 hours. Now I'm told it's 3 choppers every 30 minutes. Choppers sometime exist with 0 loot... is this intentional? This has been pointed out a few times but it would be nice to get some feedback. Does 1 out of every 5 spawns come up empty? (or something?) Is it an acknowledged bug? Some say it's players clearing loot so that the chopper despawns early- which doesn't make sense since if the chopper was empty it would despawn instead of sitting there empty. What's the actual cycle time and what's the vision? 

     

    As far as I know, since I'm a crash site hunter (check the "post your gear so far" thread in the Gallery, I never visit military bases, no need to) I've found about 150 crash sites since 0.60 and my observations is that when a server restart, the crash site that gets caught in the restart will re-appear when the server comes back online, with it's timer reset (30 mins) but without any loot around.

    I've had this happen about 10 times, I saw a crash site, I went for it and while I was getting there the server restarted. I logged back in the same server (I play 90% of time on private hives like DayZ Colony, DayZ Underground, -UN- servers, Gents of Novo, etc.) and when I got to the crash site, who was still at the same spot, there was no items around, nothing.

    That's what I think happens, based on experience, as there's no official words for why this happens.
